On May 17, the NBA officially announced the biggest suspense of the season. Garnett successfully counterattacked Nowitzki and won the mvp trophy, which represents the highest personal honor, in the witness of all teammates and the media. Media revealed

In the details of the selection, Garnett is only 29 points ahead of Nowitzki, which is the smallest gap in the MVP selection in recent years.

Throughout the season, Garnett averaged 22.3 points, 12.3 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 0.5 steals, and 2.5 blocks per game, shooting 48.4% from the field and 85.3% from the free throw line.

Compared with the previous two seasons, the improvement in data is not particularly obvious. The main reason is the improvement in record. The Eagles improved from 54 wins to 68 wins, and the defensive efficiency ranking rose from 17th in the league to 6th in the league. They were built with him as the core.

His "line attack" can be called a killer move. Even the old coach K of the Dream Team is studying it. These are Garnett's highlights.

Nowitzki ranked second in the MVP voting, averaging 26.8 points, 10.2 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game, shooting 48.3% from the field, 37.7% from three-point range, and 87.8% from free throws.

Statistically speaking, Nowitzki is even half a step ahead of Garnett; he led the team to 67 wins in the Western Conference, which is even more valuable than the 68 wins of the Hawks; and Garnett changed teams to join a team that was ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference last season.

A strong team, with Paul and Joe Johnson, will have good results.

German fans and Mavericks fans also complained about Nowitzki, believing that the league was biased in the selection of this award.

In this regard, a group of experts have published articles explaining why Garnett is the MVP.

"KG still affects the game in an all-round way. He made the team's defense impregnable in his first year with the Eagles. No matter which five players are on the court, they have a cellular awareness and know their specific defense.

What is the goal, knowing which players should be helped to double-team, how to rotate defense, how to defend the opponent's pick-and-roll and squeeze through the screen. Garnett's energy and passion inspire his teammates to work hard and pay attention to every detail.

And his single defense, screening, sweeping help defense inside the three-point line and selfless spirit set the tone for the team. Last season, the Eagles did not have a player in the league's top 30 in defensive efficiency. This season, the Eagles

Except for Diaw, the other four of the team's starting five are all among the top fifteen in the league."

Experts say that Hu Nong Hu Nong fans are okay, but in Ke Yan's opinion, it's all nonsense. The improvement of the Eagles' defense is not unrelated to the tactical adjustments, Paul, Joe Johnson's own progress, and Battier's joining. It is entirely attributed to

Garnett is the one who hates him.

Ke Yan made a statement in advance, "I would rather honor the players." First of all, it gave Garnett a certain degree of bonus points; Nash won two MVPs, and the league did not want foreign players to play three consecutive games. This may be the reason; Garnett is more comprehensive offensively and defensively, and his style of play

It's more likable, and the outside world's inability to accept Nowitzki's "softer" style of play may also be the reason, right?

Nash, who led the Suns to a record of 61 wins and 21 losses, ranked third. This season, Nash has increased his personal offense, averaging 18.6 points and 11.6 assists per game. The data is better than the previous two seasons. However, Joe has not won three consecutive MVPs.

The things that have been accomplished and the achievements of this Suns team are not enough to support Nash to win such an honor.

Duncan, Kobe, and James are ranked 4 to 6 respectively. Their personal performances are all impeccable. If they lose, they will lose on the team's performance.

Kobe Bryant completed three consecutive scoring titles, but compared to Westbrook, he did not have the consciousness to achieve a triple-double. If he had a "301010", he might be able to compete.

However, for Kobe, the Sharks reached the conference finals for three consecutive seasons after OK broke up, while the Lakers went into decline step by step, which was even more painful than not being able to win the MVP!

The Heat lead the Cavaliers with a big score of 3:1; as long as the Hawks can kill the last drop of blood of the Pistons, they will most likely win the Eastern Conference finals.

Before the start of the G5 game, Ke Yan also emphasized this point to the players. For the new mvp Garnett, this is a very tempting encouragement.                             Update @

This is the first time in Garnett's career that he has the opportunity to touch the floor of the Finals!

The comments before the game were one-sided, with everyone optimistic that the Eagles would advance.

After 4 games in the series, it can be said that both sides know the basics. Both teams have their own rhythm of the game. (This chapter is not over yet!)

Chapter 238 The wheel of history finally begins to deflect

, teams that have a high chance of winning once they incorporate the game into their own game mode; they also lack the kind of super giants who can single-handedly fight back the headwind situation. Garnett and Paul may be half of it, but in this regard

Compared with some other shining names, his ability is slightly lacking.

In comparison, the Eagles' star players are of higher caliber, their lineup is thicker, and Ke Yan's coaching level is also above Sanders'; while the Pistons' advantage lies in the tacit understanding of their core players, their stronger will to fight, and their ability to fight tough battles.

The result was as predicted by the experts. The Hawks took the lead at the beginning. However, what everyone did not expect was that in the first quarter of the game, the Hawks' best performer was Chris Paul, who had been "struggling" in the series.

In order to better implement Ke Yan's "bombardment" tactics and better fit his offensive philosophy, Paul only gained a total of 10 pounds in the first two seasons after entering the league. No matter how strong his core strength is,

When the tonnage cannot keep up, Paul is really not able to withstand heavy point guards. And Billups of the Pistons can be said to be the best player in the league at using his height and strength to suppress small guards.

Perhaps it was Garnett winning the "mvp" that stimulated Paul. Subjectively, Paul believes that the Hawks are his team, and Garnett's arrival should be his mentor, mentor, and leader. He is the Hawks.

"The Right One".@essence\/书馆*First update~~So in this game, Paul played more resolutely. After the pick-and-roll, he chose to play small and big to train McDyess and Rashid Ward.

Raishi; on the defensive end, Hamilton was even more fierce in chasing him!

This adjustment completely disrupted Sanders' plan. The Pistons failed to respond to Paul's outburst and watched helplessly as the opponent scored 13 points in a single quarter.

At 32:20, the Eagles established a 12-point lead in the first quarter and were one step closer to victory!

In the second quarter of the game, Barea, Joe Johnson, and Diaw worked together and continued to show their strength. After playing only three minutes, they opened the point difference to 17 points, forcing Sanders to replace the main players and shoulder the task of chasing points.

There is only one day of rest between g4 and g5, which is slightly disadvantageous for the Pistons, whose lineup is relatively thin and needs more main players to play; but the Pistons have no retreat. If they lose this game, the team will have plenty of time to rest!

It was under this situation that the Pistons cheered up and used the highest intensity of defense to chase points. ***, who was hired from the Spurs in the summer, played the role of Ben Wallace, constantly expanding the defense and attacking everywhere.

Filling the position; leaving the inside completely to Rasheed Wallace.

The Pistons played a 9:2 run in less than three minutes, narrowing the point difference to 10 points. Seeing that the situation was not going well, Ke Yan switched back to the main lineup to stabilize the situation.

At halftime, the Eagles led by 9 points at 58:49!

"The Pistons' chicken-blood effect won't last long. If they maintain their lead, their passion will be worn away soon! Come on!" In the locker room, Ke Yan analyzed the Pistons' current situation. In a life-and-death battle, long-term

Being behind in the score and not being able to catch up is a torture for the players' mental state. As long as they can withstand the opponent's counterattack in the first half of the second half, this game and this series will be a sure win!

In order to stop the Pistons' counterattack, Ke Yan also made adjustments in personnel scheduling. Weber started for Diaw@ to strengthen defense.

The progress of the game was as expected by Ke Yan. At the beginning of the second half, the Pistons once again used a pressing defense to limit the Eagles' offense.

But ***'s defensive deterrence and mobility are at least two levels worse than Ben Wallace's. Paul, except that he is not as strong as Barea, is better than the Puerto Rican in all other aspects. The Pistons' defense can't hold it back.

Barea, but couldn't hold Paul back.

The Eagles held on to their lead. In the second half of the third quarter, the Pistons' defensive formation began to loosen. No matter how strong their will was, these tough guys finally fell down in the face of absolute strength and continuous consumption. "Conquer"

.

Promotion is just around the corner. The Eagles players did not hesitate at all and played extremely hard. They all want to advance directly in front of the home fans!

At the end of the third quarter, the Eagles extended their lead to 17 points, just one step away from promotion!

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, both sides were rotating players; but just two minutes into the game, Sanders sent Billups and Hamilton on to start the chase. (This chapter is not over yet!)

Chapter 238 The wheel of history finally begins to deflect

Attack, trying to narrow the score difference and bring back the suspense of the game!

However, due to lack of rest time, the hard-hitting man cannot hold back. The two players hit the iron continuously after taking the field, unable to play their own roles.

At this point in the game, everyone knows that the Pistons are doomed! Yuga and Zhang Lili are already discussing the prospects of the Eastern Conference finals.

"Yesterday's game, the Cavaliers lost to the Heat at home 88:99. So, the Hawks' opponent in the next round is the defending champion Heat. This game is also interesting. The two sides tied 2:2 in the regular season. It should be

They are evenly matched opponents." Zhang Li checked the information and said.

In this year's playoffs, O'Neal performed well. In the first round, he easily controlled Howard, preventing the Magic from making many tactics. In the second round, he faced the Cavaliers, who were weak inside, and easily defeated them.

A wave of beautiful data. This also made many fans feel that O'Neal "played dead" in the regular season and was still the same domineering shark in the playoffs.

"But I think if necessary, coach Ke Yan may, probably, use the shark-cutting tactic. After all, his coaching philosophy is in the same vein as coach Nelson. And shark-cutting is also the original creation of coach Nelson!" Because the game has already been won.

With the game in hand, Yuga and Zhang Heli were in a more relaxed state as commentators and were able to talk about the upcoming series in a joking tone.

"This may really be the key, because who among the Eagles has the ability to defend? Milicic is barely one. So they will definitely kill the shark!"

Zhang Lili predicts that Ke Yan will be slapped in the face every day, and this time is probably no exception. To deal with the Heat team in front of him, unless there are any special circumstances, if it goes on normally, use the shark-cutting tactic to count Ke Yan losing.

The point difference has been maintained at around 15 points. The Pistons players have been working hard to chase points. They can also narrow the point difference a little by relying on their hard work, but they will soon be overwhelmed by a wave of counterattacks by the Eagles.

In the end, the Hawks defeated the Pistons 104:91 and won this round of "meat grinder battle". They eliminated the Pistons with a big score of 4:1 and successfully advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals!

The moment the game ended, the sky was full of ribbons and fireworks, and the Phillips Center was in a boil. All the Eagles players jumped up from the bench and came to the center of the field to celebrate the victory crazily.

Ke Yan stepped forward and wanted to shake hands with Sanders, but Garnett got there first. Sanders was Garnett's mentor, and Garnett's relationship with him far exceeded his friendship with Ke Yan.

After waiting for a while, Ke Yan could only awkwardly walk back to the home team's coaching bench when he saw that the two people were still chatting.

This scene was also recorded by the on-site photographer and used as a behind-the-scenes footage after the game.

At the press conference after the game, Sanders generously blessed the Eagles: "In this game, Ki arranged for Paul to play the main offense, which caught us off guard. Their overall strength is the strongest in the league, and they are the best in every game.

If someone can stand up and deserve the win, I think they are the favorites to win the championship."

Ke Yan was interviewed: "I can't remember how many times I lost to the Pistons. Every time I met the Pistons, I was under great pressure. As a result, I met the Pistons in the playoffs for two consecutive seasons. Fortunately,

The result is good this time. They are our strongest opponents in the east. After winning them, I have nothing to be afraid.

Reading between the lines, Ke Yan didn't take the Heat seriously.

"The Hawks' opponent in the next round is the Heat. Are you confident that you can lead the team to defeat their opponents?"

"have."

In the conference semifinals, only the Suns and Spurs remained unfinished. The other three groups all had a 4:1 score. Now, attention is focused on Madison Square Garden. The much-anticipated 2007

The draft lottery drawing ceremony is held here.

Both the first-round pick and the second-round pick were given away in Battier's trade. Ke Yan was left without a pick and watched the lottery ceremony simply to relieve his boredom.

Luo Yin, the best rookie in the 2007 season, helped the Trail Blazers win the No. 1 pick with a very low probability. He felt that he was going to partner with Oden. Luo Yin shouted out on the spot, feeling that the championship was waving to him.

Luo Yin, Aldridge, and Oden, these three young people all have the potential to become All-Stars, plus Webster and Channing Fletcher. (This chapter is not over yet!)

Chapter 238 The wheel of history finally begins to deflect

Jack, the future of this young guard is a (shang) piece of (bing) light (n) bright (ying)

The Seattle SuperSonics, who were deeply involved in the "relocation controversy", got the second pick. Compared with the previous second picks, the SuperSonics were the most relaxed. It was just Durant or Oden, whoever fell down would be selected.

The relationship between Ray Allen and the team has been broken, and Lewis is also determined to test the free agent market. Whoever pays more money will go with him. What will usher in the Sonics must be reconstruction. Whoever joins the Sonics will get unlimited firepower.

The right to train yourself.

After a bad season, the Timberwolves won the third overall pick. This result is not good, but they can choose Conley to strengthen the team's point guard position. The combination of Conley, David and Lee Bynum is actually promising in the future.

But there’s no telling what Wolf Guan’s IQ is!

The Grizzlies and Celtics, two teams with no bottom line, did not get the ideal picks. One is fourth and the other is fifth! Whether they can pick the cornerstone of the team at this position depends on it.

own vision.

The Bucks, Hornets, Knicks, Bulls, and 76ers ranked 6th to 10th.

After the lottery ceremony, Larry Sander called Ke Yan and asked him if he had any thoughts about the draft.

Each team has got its own pick, some are satisfied with it, and some are dissatisfied with their pick and want to make a deal. At this time, there is already room for maneuver.

"Except for the No. 1 pick, I don't want anything else." Ke Yan shook his head and joked.

"If I give you the remaining two years of 12 million in your contract, I wonder if Paul Allen would be willing to negotiate?" Larissander said with a smile.

Ke Yan's eyes lit up: "What a great idea. If I win the championship this year, Paul Allen can't give me a big contract? Luo Yin and Aldridge have such potential, that's great! Let's talk to them?"

These days, there is no precedent for exchanging a coach with draft picks, but even if there were, no one would trade with the No. 1 pick! Even if the target is Ke Yan.

Larry Sander said that there is room for maneuver, and it is nothing more than a late first-round or second-round pick. The best options available for this position are Gasol and Sessions.

Gasol will not land in the NBA immediately this season, and he won't be able to count on it for a while; Sessions is the point guard that the Hawks are most in need of, which is not necessary for Ke Yan.

"Ki, originally I shouldn't have said this to you at this time. But there are some things I have to inform you in advance." Larissade suddenly became serious.

"Hmm, tell me?"

"The boss asked us to clear Hassell's contract as much as possible this summer," Larissand said.

Hassell has three years left on his contract worth 12 million, which is a huge burden for the Hawks whose salary is likely to exceed the luxury tax threshold. They can only try to trade to a team under the cap.

But other teams won't be so kind as to take a junk contract for you. Unless you give compensation, either a high-quality contract or draft picks.

".

.

.

talk later."

Keyan had already anticipated this situation.

It's okay for the boss to say that he should pay the luxury tax, but in reality, he must save every penny he can. Dolan, Buss, and Cuban are the only ones who don't take the luxury tax seriously.

If you work for other bosses, even if you create a "cosmic team", you will have to dismantle it sooner or later.

This is the ecology of the alliance!

Ke Yan led the Hawks to counterattack the Pistons, and the Heat attacked the Cavaliers. Historically, both teams that met in the Eastern Conference Finals were blocked from the Eastern Conference Finals.

In the west, the wheel of history has also turned!

Although Horry knocked Nash off his feet, which resulted in Stoudemire's G5 suspension and helped the Spurs win G5; but in the two games of G6 and G7, the little bully with full anger points continuously scored 3712 and 3412.

, with Duncan. Nash and Richardson on the outside teamed up to destroy the Spurs' outside line, helping the Suns reverse the series after losing the battle at Tianwangshan and become the final winner!

Ke Yan looked incredulous when he received the news. (This chapter is not finished yet!)

Chapter 238 The wheel of history finally begins to deflect

, the Suns actually defeated the Spurs?

"Isn't this strange?" Seeing Ke Yan's reaction, Wang Lifan was a little puzzled.

Didn't Ke Yan himself often say that the Bulls and Horses are a first-rate team? Is it unusual for the Suns to defeat the Spurs?

"You don't understand~" Ke Yan reached out and rubbed Wang Lifan's head, then took her into his arms, "After defeating the Pistons, all my preparations were against the Spurs, but now tell me that my opponent is

Suns."

"It should be good for you, right?" Wang Lifan raised her head and looked at Key Yan. She knew very well what this championship meant to Key Yan.

"The immediate situation is unpredictable; but in the long run, it should do more harm than good," Ke Yan said.

Historically, due to another loss to the Spurs this year, the Suns sought changes, dismantled MSN's lineup, and traded Marion for O'Neal to counter Duncan. Now that the Suns have killed the Spurs, there is no need for them to make this deal.

.

The Suns, Heat, Celtics, and some other teams will all go in a completely different direction from history. For Ke Yan, a time traveler, this means that his advantages are getting smaller, and it also means that the challenges will become greater.

Come bigger...
