The 2020 NBA championship won by the Los Angeles Lakers is often questioned by some fans and media, believing that the closed park championship that year was not of high value. You should know that in 2020, due to the epidemic, the NBA adopted a closed approach and continued NBA games.

The reason for this is mainly to allow the NBA to continue, and also to protect the health of fans and players. All teams play in Orlando, so that no one has the advantage of home and away, and there are no fans cheering on the spot, or some fans try to stimulate and distract players.

Overall, the 2020 playoff game is the purest in NBA history, because there is no interference from many external factors, and everyone is focusing on the game. However, there are still many fans and media trying to slander the championship because it is the 2020 NBA championship won by LeBron James leading the Lakers.

As the previous 2020 champion players said, the 2020 championship is considered to be not very valuable and has been criticized a lot, mainly because of LeBron James. Because those people don't like LeBron James, they choose to slander the championship.

is indeed the case. After all, there have been many championships in NBA history with reduced seasons, but the fan media rarely belittles other championships in short seasons. Instead, he chose to crazily belittle the 2020 championship. Recently, LeBron James also responded to the remarks that criticized the 2020 championship with low value.

LeBron James said "I agree that many people say it's the purest form of basketball. Like, it's totally basketball. We all have the ability to do whatever we want in life, we make a lot of money and have all the channels, but that's gone away in the bubble. You can't just say 'I'm going to a restaurant' or 'I'm going to do this' - you can't do nothing. Everything in the bubble is about basketball'

" Obviously, we're talking a lot of off-court things out there, like social injustice and police brutality, but when the basketball part becomes When it comes to focus, that's all. In all the championships I've won, that level of concentration... Like, how long can you keep focusing to get the job done? You have all kinds of reasons to want to stay away from focus because you're used to a certain way of life and you're like, 'Go to hell, I don't want to make this, why am I here?' I can't have a meal, I can't make this, I can't meet my family, you can easily get rid of it, why are you there.' ”

At that time, the league had to postpone the regular season due to epidemic prevention and control issues. In order to keep the NBA event going on, the league chose Orlando to gather the players together and play the game, so as to avoid everyone flying around and causing trouble.

However, because it was a closed event, the rules at that time were also very strict. The NBA requires players not to leave Orlando closed zone at will. Once players leave and want to return, they must be tested and quarantined for a period of time. So, at that time, the campus staff, as well as NBA players, had to leave their homes and families for weeks or months while undergoing regular screening and testing.

Many teams have some problems, such as Lou Wei and others from the Los Angeles Clippers, were exposed to be unable to help but go out for dinner. It caused some trouble for the team and the NBA. Fortunately, the NBA's preventive measures were strict and the implementation was in place, so many difficult problems were avoided at that time.

The Lakers led by LeBron James defeated the Nuggets in the Western Conference Finals and easily defeated the Miami Heat after entering the finals. LeBron James was also successfully elected as the MVP in the Finals with his outstanding performance. With a 59% shooting percentage, he averaged 29.8 points, 11.8 rebounds and 8.5 assists per game.

In fact, the Lakers' championship value that year was enough to be included in the top ten NBA championships in history. Without unnecessary external interference, the player's mentality, physical fitness and ability are tested. The Miami Heat's ability to break through the East to enter the finals also proves that they have some strength to win the championship. However, the Lakers' substitutes that year were almost all the per capita starting strength level, and they were not something other teams could compete with.

Moreover, there are two superstars, LeBron James and Anthony Davis, McGee and Dwight Howard in the inside, Caruso and Pope in the outside, and forwards in the front.
