When Jiang Chen was on the Internet and dominated all the headlines.

Curry and Evans' best rookie battle has also attracted a lot of attention.

Most media and basketball experts have conducted an analysis and feel that the best rookie may be won by two people together.

After all, there is no precedent.

In NBA history, there have been two players who won the Best Rookie together. The most recent one was in the 1994-95 season, when Jason Kidd and Grant Hill won the Best Rookie together.

Judging from the performance of Curry and Evans this season, the two are basically almost the same.

The only difference is that Curry is in a top-notch team like the Lakers, and the data he played next to the two superstars Jiang Chen and Kobe, is even more valuable.

And Evans is playing badly and getting such data seems easier.

What is the final result? It has to wait for the official announcement of the NBA.

Before Jiang Chen's popularity and the competition for the best rookie have passed, the NBA playoffs have begun without stopping.

April 17, US time.

The NBA playoffs officially kicked off.

On the first day, the league arranged four groups of duels, two groups from the east and west.

The most exciting thing is the Lakers vs. Thunder.

The Lakers have a home advantage, so the first two games of the series were held at Staples Center.

Two hours before the game.

Staples is crowded with people and full of people.

Fans have already ignited the stadium with enthusiasm, and everyone is looking forward to the beginning of the game. It is not that this game will be so exciting, but because the Lakers are finally on the journey to compete for three consecutive championships.

This has been waiting for too long!

When the season started, fans wanted to skip the regular season and start the playoffs directly.

But obviously this is impossible.

So after a long period of regular season, the playoffs finally began.

This also means that the Lakers' three consecutive championships are close to each other.

As for this series, with the current strength of the Lakers, there is no suspense and it will directly sweep 4:0.

It’s not that the fans are proud, but that before the series begins, major sports media and basketball experts predicted this way.

No one is optimistic about the Thunder.

After all, it is the first time that it has entered the playoffs. No player in the entire team has ever had the experience of the playoffs, and they are basically all young people.

What does such a team with zero playoff experience compare to the Lakers, which have won two consecutive championships?

The gap is too big.

When there is no suspense in the victory or defeat, the only highlight of this round of series is the showdown between Jiang Chen and Durant.

Although it is a youth army, the performance of several core players of the Thunder is still worth looking forward to.

at this time.

Both teams are in the pre-match interview session.

Lakers interview room.

"Hey Jiang, how do you see your overall performance this season?"

"In the past two days, your name has been so popular across the United States and even out of the circle. I feel like hundreds of millions of people across the United States are talking about you."

A reporter asked, and when he thought about what he had seen and felt over the past two days, he was a little excited.

"If the full score is 100, then I can only give myself 95 points. The remaining 5 points are because I am afraid that I am too proud."

Jiang Chen said with a smile.

The reporters all stared at each other.

Not proud enough now?

Looking at the smile, the corners of my mouth were almost grinning behind my ears.

"Jiang, you have won a lot of NBA titles in just two seasons. Is your mentality expanding? Or what changes have occurred?"

A reporter asked.

"No! No! Because in my opinion, this is just my normal level of performance, and I can be better!"

"And, to be honest, I'm a little numb."

Jiang Chen said lightly, a little disdainful.

What is this?

When you play for a few more years and get more skills in "Blackspot Basketball" through the system, your performance will only explode and you will only create more records.

The reporters were all confused when they heard this.

Listen, do people say it?

Can you still perform better?

Record-breaking to numbness.

He wants to go up to heaven and the sun to shoulder!

Isn’t this a sign of pride?

It's really outrageous.

"Jiang, you are facing Durant, the second pick in the same class in this round of the series. How do you think about the fact that some media call you and Durant a lifelong enemy?"

A reporter asked.

"Oh! I remember answering this question before, but since I have asked it, I will emphasize it again."

"Durant is very strong, really strong, and he will definitely be the top superstar in the league in the future, but compared to me, it is still much worse."

"If Durant always regards me as his life's enemy, sooner or later he will lose his confidence and retire in disgrace. It's better to compete with others so that he can have a little balance and more confidence in his heart."

Jiang Chen replied, looking very serious.

Because he really doesn't want these media reporters to compare themselves with Durant, as this will cause great psychological pressure on Durant and will not be conducive to his career growth.

But in the eyes of the reporters, these words were a sign of arrogance again.

"Curry, this is your first time in your career to playoffs. How are you feeling now?"

A reporter asked.

"I'm very excited! I hope I won't throw three-nothing in the game."

Curry likes to joke as always.

"Do you think you can win the best rookie? If you lose the election, will you be dissatisfied?"

A reporter asked.

"I always believe that I am the best. No matter who is elected as the best rookie, I will send my blessings as soon as possible."

"Why are you dissatisfied? Honors are just a proof of my growth. Even if I didn't win the best rookie, I know how I played this season. At least I didn't disappoint those who have expectations for me, that's enough."

Curry said calmly, very open-minded.

Kobe and Jiang Chen also looked sideways, their eyes full of appreciation for Curry.

This elementary school student is really a very broad-minded person!

Next, the reporters asked Kobe a few more questions and ended the pre-match interview.

Thunder interview room.

"Durant, he entered the playoffs for the first time in his career and entered the Lakers at the peak of his career. How do you feel now?"

A reporter asked.

"It feels OK! Undoubtedly, it's a difficult playoff for me and the team, but I will enjoy this process! Only after going through such difficulties can we grow better, right?"

Durant shrugged, his tone very relaxed.
Chapter completed!
