basketball never sleeps

Chapter 141 Why is it always you?

On May 6, most teams in the first round of the playoffs had already decided the winner, leaving only the Rockets and Seattle in the tiebreaker.

There is no suspense in the Eastern Conference. The top four teams in the regular season, the Heat, Pacers, Pistons, and Celtics, all ended their battles within 5 games.

In the Eastern Conference, where the strengths and weaknesses are clearly divided, it is difficult to achieve the following trick of defeating the superiors.

Not to mention the Heat, a special case that was underestimated by most people due to Ou's injury, the 76ers in the bottom half were originally the team that people had the highest hopes for, but their performance against the Pistons in the playoffs was a disaster.

Iverson had the highest efficiency in the playoffs since he entered the league, shooting 46% from the field and 41% from the three-point range, averaging 31+10 points per game, but he still could not lead the team to win.

The culprit, Weber, successfully proved that he... was old. Facing the double-Wallace defense, his shooting percentage was just over 40%. Counting free throws, he averaged 19 points on 19 shots per game.

As for his interior defense, needless to say anything else, Ben can average 13 points per game which proves everything.

You know, when Mo Wen was still with the Pistons, even most of the team's training games couldn't get this score.

The Western Conference, Suns, Spurs, and Mavericks also won their opponents cleanly.

The Rockets should be the only team that has a chance to defeat this year.

They don't have anyone inside who is suitable to fight against Yao Ming. Although starting center Jerome James is of decent height and weight, he can only use his body to play and he directly turns into a foul maniac in front of Yao Ming. Basically, he can only go for most of the game.

In the end, he had no choice but to let Milicic guard Dayao, which slightly reduced Dayao's efficiency.

Milicic has not been successfully transformed by Larry Brown, and it is still very difficult for him to top Yao, but after all, he has learned defense from his brother, and with the lower body practiced in boxing, he will not be as easy as others.

Eaten alive by Dayao.

The Sonics win mainly rely on their perimeter.

The rivalry between Ray Allen and Tracy McGrady has become the biggest highlight of this series. The two have played almost every game and both averaged 30+ points per game.

But without looking at the data, looking at the game, everyone can clearly tell that Ray Allen is the better player.

In terms of offensive efficiency, Ray Allen, who prefers to shoot three-pointers, is slightly better, but defensively, the two are at the same level in this series.

Before the start of the playoffs, Tracy McGrady's back injury recurred, coupled with the bad defensive habits he had developed in the Magic for a long time, which caused him to give up this series and devote more energy to the defensive end.

The Rockets' ability to persist until the tiebreaker was entirely based on Yao's 65% field goal percentage and 70% true shooting percentage.

People with this kind of terrifying efficiency are the backbone of the team. If you don't act too obviously, it will be difficult to lose the game.

However, Xiao Fan felt that Tracy McGrady had more experience in the playoffs and his scoring ability was more stable, so he focused his offensive focus on the outside in the playoffs.

It’s ridiculous. Tracy McGrady has more playoff experience than Yao, but does the experience of losing in the first round have any reference value?

Before the start of G7, Dayao, who had been playing very depressed, called Mo Wen and asked him what he should do to help the team win.

The advice given by Mo Wen was the same as in the regular season: let him be selfish and try his best to play by himself whenever he has the chance.

Xiao Fan also called his brother to discuss the Rockets' next step.

Fan, who easily swept the Nets with his two shots from the outside, said he wanted to play from the outside without even thinking about it.

When discussing tactics, Dayao rarely expressed his opinion that he wanted to increase his shots to attract more defense for his teammates, but Xiaofan, who received the first-round pass secrets from Dayan, still politely refused.

He even expressed that he would continue to do more for Tracy McGrady.

Originally, everyone thought that this G7 would be a very fierce game.

But because of Tracy McGrady's cold touch, the Rockets fell behind by 10 points in the first quarter.

In the first half, Tracy McGrady took 19 crazy shots and hit 6 of them. Today, Yao Ming, whose shooting percentage was as high as 88%, only took 9 shots. Thanks to the basketball fans who know the game, most of them play basketball to exercise. Otherwise, the hospital's

The cardiovascular and cerebrovascular department doesn’t know how many clients it should add.

At the end of the third quarter, the Rockets fell behind by 20 points. Xiao Fan finally woke up and focused on inside tactics with Dayao as the core.

But the little time left and Dayao's limited physical strength could no longer support the Rockets' comeback.

Leaders of many domestic units and companies breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the Rockets lose.

Fortunately, we lost, otherwise both teams would have played, and the employees under me would find excuses to take leave every day, and they would almost be unable to find enough people to work.

After the game, Fan, who had just finished handling the Rockets matters, ran to Miami, not far from Houston, to meet his brother and teacher Pat Riley for dinner.

At the dinner, Xiao Fan asked Pat Riley his question, why are the Rockets, who also use outside tactics and have inside deterrence, worse than the Heat, who had a truce with O'Fatty?

"Making the outside line, um, have you asked Stan? Now the Heat's offensive tactics are generally not in charge of the coaching staff, but the Chinese one. If you ask him, you might as well ask the Chinese one."

Riley looked at Xiao Fan with a bit of fun. He didn't mind revealing the team's secrets to his former disciple. After all, Fan and Xiao Fan were also brothers, so they wouldn't stab him in the back.

"ha?"

Xiao Fan looked at his brother in disbelief.

Da Fan nodded shyly.

"Actually, we have similar tactical concepts, but the kid's commanding effect on the court is more effective than my shouting off the court. Therefore, after we discuss it before the game, the task of organizing the offense is usually handed over to him."

"My coaching experience in the NBA over the past two years is that you have to learn to delegate authority, and then you can have the energy to do everything you need to do well."

Looking at Da Fan, who half exuded the aura of a strong man and the other half looked like a loser, Xiao Fan scratched his head in confusion as he was the baldest person in the room.

He had heard a rumor before... Most of the truly top coaches handed over the offensive tasks to the team's most talented people, while they only focused on defense. The Nets the year before last, the Pistons last year,

This year's Heat proves this statement.

So the question is, where will he find a point guard like Kidd last year, Billups last year, and Mo Wen this year?

Oh, by the way, wait, Chinese, he remembered that Yao Ming uncharacteristically proposed to increase his shot volume before the tiebreaker.

If he remembered correctly, Yao and Mo Wen seemed to have a very good relationship.

That is to say...

At the end of the first round, the ranking statistics for each award were finally completed.

Okafor, who averaged 15+10 per game, deservedly became the [Best Rookie of the Year]; the [Best Sixth Man] was won by first-year Ben Gordon. Although Ricky Davis's data was slightly better than him,

But he averages 10 minutes more playing time per game than Ben Gordon, and his data is too poor.

The [Most Improved Player Award (MIP)] was shared by Mo Wen and Wade.

Both men's statistics have grown by leaps and bounds this season.

Mo Wen's statistics have gone from averaging just over 10 points per game last season to now averaging 20+10 points per game. His statistics are better than Nash, who is the favorite for MVP, and cannot be ignored. Wade has averaged 16+ points per game last season.

5+5 turned into 27+6+5 this season is enough and exaggerated.

Generally speaking, the Rookie of the Year or All-Star awards can be shared, but sharing among the Most Improved Players is indeed the only one since the founding of the NBA.

But if you do a little analysis, this operation is reasonable.

But after this award was confirmed, there was no suspense about the best manager of the year.

Select Wade, switch to Mo Wen, and poach Ao Pang.

To be honest, this operation is more amazing than putting together the logo.

The [Best Coach] award was completely taken away by D'Antoni. In fact, no one knows whether Nash or D'Antoni played a greater role in the rise of the Suns. But even if the score is average, the remaining credit is enough for D'Antoni to win this award.

After all the side prizes have been distributed, the main event remains.

There was no surprise that Ben won the "Best Defensive Player" award. The opponent he competed with was Bowen, who had no statistics and was out of the ordinary. If Ben could lose, he would be really sorry for his muscular body.

Mo Wen's name appeared in the best defense and best lineup.

Defensive first team: Larry Hughes, Bowen, Duncan, Garnett, Ben;

Defensive second team: Wade, Mo Wen, Prince, Kirilenko, Camby.

He squeezed out Kidd and became a member of the defensive second team.

And in the selection of the best lineup

Best first team: Nash, Iverson, Duncan, Shaq, Nowitzki;

Best Second Team: Wade, Mo Wen, James, Garnett, Stoudemire

Ray Allen, who originally occupied a place in the second team, was kicked to the third team by Mo Wen.

The MVP selection also came to an end subsequently.

The media who originally thought O'Brien was qualified to compete for MVP saw the Heat sweep the Nets without him, and they realized how strong the Nets really are.

Seeing Mo Wen holding a bunch of trophies and calmly taking photos in front of the media, Wade suddenly felt that the trophies in his hands were not so fragrant.

The MIP has you, the second defense has you, and the second team also has you.

How old are you(How old are you?)
