Chapter 248 Four consecutive championships

In the first round of the playoffs, the powerful Wizards easily swept the 76ers without Jiang Dalin even making a move.

Because the 76ers only have one Allen Iverson.

The 76ers couldn't stand it once this group of young people who had grown up in the Wizards over the past year showed their strength.

There is no doubt that Allen Iverson is still a very good scorer. It is not a shame to be under Jiang Dalin.

But the 76ers no longer have the defensive capabilities they had in 2001!

So I can no longer help him with defense.

Then there is Iguodala as a rookie. It can be seen that his physical talent is undoubtedly outstanding, but...

After all, he is still a rookie, and his entire style of play is a "weakened version" of James...

Moreover, this is still talking about Iguodala at his peak. Now that he is in the playoffs, it would be good if he can keep up with Hamilton.

It's a pity that he didn't complete this task very well...

Allen Iverson averaged 31.5 points per game, but unfortunately he still couldn't bring the 76ers a victory.

Everyone can see that it is obviously impossible for the 76ers to go back to 2001.

And can't get back to the top...

You can imagine the result waiting for Allen Iverson...

The era of Allen Iverson with the 76ers is coming to an end.

The Wizards swept the Pacers again in the second round.

4-0!

McGrady has made this team's offense more intense, but the team's chemical reaction is gone, and McGrady's style of play is a wing single with the ball for a long time.

Not only will it not make your teammates better, it may also make their bodies cooler.

However, it can be seen that Artest and McGrady are indeed very threatening on offense and defense. If there is more "human shield" inside, the Pacers will really be able to play in the new season...

Just look at the data and you will know that for the Pacers, one player scored 30 points in three games, one player scored 20 points, and there was also one game where four players scored 15 points, with seven players scoring in double figures.

It's a pity that the only reason is that the Wizards are obviously stronger and have better chemistry.

If there's ever been a better time to see that this Wizards team is absolutely invincible, it's probably now.

Awards were announced one after another, and Ben Gordon won the "Best Sixth Man Award."

This is also the first time in NBA history that a rookie has won this award. It can only be said that the combination of the entire Bulls lineup and Ben Gordon's own style of play allowed Ben Gordon to win this award very smoothly.

The poor combination with Hinrich, as well as his own super scoring ability, and the fact that he does not need to adapt to substitute rotation time defense, allow him to perform well from the beginning, unlike other rookies who still need to adjust...

Anyway...

In the end Ben Gordon won the award!

Scott finally won the best coach award, which is the second time he has won this award in the past four years...

The league originally didn't want to give this award, but Larry Brown's interference prevented Scott from receiving the best head coach award last season, which caused a lot of criticism.

Because it’s proven…

Even if this Wizards team is very strong, not just anyone can win the championship with it.

Actually, this is really a misunderstanding by the media outside.

Or maybe I think too much of Larry Brown...

The more salty a head coach is, the more likely he is to lead this team to win the championship!

Of course, who would have thought of it!

Larry Brown is still handsome!

The Most Improved Player is Zach Randolph of the Trail Blazers.

It was given to Arenas last year, and it undoubtedly belongs to him this year...

To say that Randolph is really ruthless, he has a lot of troubles off the court, but if he wants to get 20 plus 10 on the court, it is still easy.

Of course...

The most impressive thing is that the Trail Blazers management sent away O'Neal and dismantled the inside team, but they were still able to produce a 20 plus 10 power forward...

Jiang Dalin won the best defensive player in the second season of his career. When the Wizards encountered injuries, they really relied on Jiang Dalin to take advantage of the situation in the paint, averaging 4.5 blocks per game. Jiang Dalin also relied on this performance in a single month.

With an exaggerated number of blocks, he won the final "Block King", and his defensive performance this month was so impressive that he undoubtedly won the final "Best Defensive Player Award".

Of course, some media believe that the league gave this award to Jiang Dalin just to give the regular season MVP to Steve Nash.

The best defensive team is still the same group of regulars. The Wizards only have Jiang Dalin on the first team.

But this just shows that everyone on this team relies on Jiang Dalin for defense.

It is another affirmation for Jiang Dalin to win this award.

Speaking of which, if he really gets the "Best Defensive Player Award" and "Regular Season MVP" in the same year, he will completely surpass Jordan and Olajuwon and become the first player in the NBA to win two awards in the same year.

Players who have won this award,

One thing that these media really guessed correctly is that the league really gave the "Regular Season MVP" award to Steve Nash. Of course, this is also expected for Jiang Dalin!

That's the same sentence...

The league loves newcomers!

Although Jiang Dalin is only in his fourth career season...

But in fact, he is already a complete old man...

Even if he reaches new heights this season, he is still an "old man."

Next up is the All-NBA lineup…

In the selection of the best team, Kobe and O'Neal were selected for the first team, and the other three were Jiang Dalin, Tracy McGrady, and Steve Nash;

Yao Ming was selected to the second team, and the other four were Tim Duncan, Nowitzki, Allen Iverson, and Wade;

The third team is LeBron James, Stoudemire, Ray Allen, Shawn Marion, and Ben Wallace;

This is the third consecutive year that Jiang Dalin has been selected to the best team.

Shaquille O'Neal still grabbed a forward position with him.

But this season's Shaquille O'Neal's scoring average has dropped significantly...

Averaged 25 points and 11 rebounds per game.

Although he had trained hard with Kobe before, he was getting older, and it was really difficult for him to maintain his peak period for a long time at his size.

If nothing else, the soles of my feet cannot bear it.

In the finals, the Wizards could no longer maintain a complete victory and lost to the Celtics at home in Game 2.

The reason for losing this game is similar to the loss to the Lakers in the first game of the previous Finals.

It's all a problem with the Wizards' own touch.

But also after this game...

The Wizards successfully won three games in a row.

Won the game easily.

For the Celtics, they have really reached their limit.

And if Jiang Dalin really wants to say it, they themselves never thought that they could reach the Eastern Conference finals this season.

Really, let’s talk about Jiang Dalin again. If he hadn’t beaten all the strong teams in the Eastern Conference, to be honest, how could the Boston Celtics rise this season?

Let's put it this way, Jiang Dalin single-handedly set the entire eastern region back three years.

All the Eastern Conference players who grew up were killed by him!

Compared to the Eastern Conference, the Western Conference playoffs are a bit more wild.

As mentioned before, the Spurs, originally ranked third in the Western Conference, fell to fifth in the Western Conference.

From here you can see how crazy it is.

After the Phoenix Suns emerged this year, their momentum has been extremely fierce, easily sweeping their opponents in the first round.

Speaking of which, for the league that just changed its rules this season...

Many teams cannot adapt to a team that shoots three-pointers so fiercely.

In addition, Steve Nash and Stoudemire are really the kind of combination that meets each other late.

It takes no time at all for two people to get along.

D'Antoni's "fast break" system greatly catalyzed the chemical reaction between them.

Let’s put it this way, what does it mean to meet the right person at the right time? Just look at the Suns.

The Lakers also happily eliminated their opponents 4-0.

As mentioned before, this is a team that even Jiang Dalin is a little afraid of. Their only opponent now is the Wizards.

Of course, they will definitely not be the Wizards' opponents.

However, as long as they can endure it for one year, they will have no opponents after the Wizards are definitely disbanded next year, and they will also win their third championship trophy.

Although I'll be late, I'm here anyway.

The worst thing is Tim Duncan and the Spurs...

This is obviously impossible...

But there is no way. Jiang Dalin's rise is destined to make some people become foils.

Let’s not talk about others…

Look at the "OK" combination of the Lakers, this is the team that originally won three consecutive championships, but suddenly became a great foil for the Wizards and Jiang Dalin.

To be honest, one of the reasons why Jiang Dalin can now be compared with those historical stars is definitely because of the opponent OK Group.

A stronger foil can show the strength of the winner!

There is no doubt about this!

Then the Rockets, third in the Western Conference, eliminated their opponents, and Yao Ming and Shaquille O'Neal met in the second round of the playoffs.

Entering the third season of his career, Yao Ming has already scored 23 points and 10 rebounds, which is almost the same as Shaquille O'Neal's data.

It is for this reason that most media are saying that the Wizards are not the only one that the Lakers have to overcome in this year's playoffs. The Rockets are also one of the difficulties that they need to face up to.

The Sonics, fourth in the Western Conference, met the Spurs.

Letting the Spurs defeat them proves that in the playoffs, a team with just two shooters as its core will definitely not work no matter how well it performs in the regular season.

Ray Allen was very frustrated after the game. Originally, after this season, he was selected to the best third team. He thought something different would happen. He had expectations for the playoffs.

I just didn’t expect that…

This expectation is obviously a bit too optimistic.

Didn't even get past the first round.

The Suns and Spurs were originally supposed to meet in the Western Conference Finals this season, so the teams met in advance.

What has to be said is that this encounter originally allowed Stoudemire to average 36 points or more per game. It was also after this round of playoffs that there was a saying in the world that "Stoudemire defeated Tim Duncan in the playoffs."

An explosive statement.

In fact, judging from the playing style of the entire team.

Stoudemire's outburst was more like Popovich's intentional act.

This guy deliberately let go of Stoudemire and let him take shots constantly, because the Suns' victory in the regular season relied entirely on three-pointers.

Such a team allows them to rely on 0 Stoudemire and two points, and the possibility of winning is slim...

Anyway, that’s what Popovich thought, and it worked.

In the end, the Spurs eliminated the Suns with a score of 4-1.

So ends a magical year in Phoenix.

On the other side, the Western Conference semifinals between the Rockets and the Lakers went as everyone expected...

This was an inextricable series, and the two sides fought like crazy.

The Lakers won two home games and then immediately lost on the road.

After the 2-2 tie, no one expected that the Rockets would win the battle at Tianwang Mountain, but it was a pity that...the Rockets lacked experience.

Let the more resilient Lakers complete the comeback.

In the end, it was a pity that the Lakers were eliminated.

After this game, the "OK" combination really realized that the league was indeed changing.

Their opportunities are getting less and less. If they don't succeed this season, then next season... with the momentum of Yao Ming and the Rockets' growth, they are really not sure if they can kill them again...

But this year...

Opposite is Jiang Dalin. They really have no hope of winning.

It's not that they gave up on themselves, but...

After losing so many times, who’s mentality will not be affected?

But one thing everyone knows, if any team can defeat the Wizards in the playoffs, it must be the Lakers!

In the Western Conference Finals, the Spurs and Lakers met again.

O'Neal playing against Tim Duncan is like Jiang Dalin playing against O'Neal.

I don’t know if it’s because of restraint, but I just can’t beat him anyway.

Tim Duncan can stand up to others, but he just can't stand up to Shaquille O'Neal.

The Lakers' current series actually has the same result as all their previous series with the Spurs...

The fatal flaw in the center position doomed the Spurs. O'Neal showed off his power every game and scored ancient monster-level statistics. He shot 65.3% from the field and scored 28 points, 15.8 rebounds, 3 assists, 0.4 steals and 3.4 blocks. He dreamed of returning to his peak.

.

Kobe shot 46.2% from the field and scored 27 points, 5.6 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.8 blocks, which was also eye-catching.

The "OK" combination of the Lakers has achieved such efficiency, it is really difficult for other teams except the Wizards to compete!

Including the Spurs with Tim Duncan.

4-2!

The Lakers entered the finals again. This is the fourth consecutive year that they have come to the finals to face the Wizards.

Jiang Dalin really felt when he saw them...

So familiar!

There is almost no need to test the formation of troops on both sides, it is just all kinds of mutual strife!

Just as we thought at the end of the last finals, although the Lakers entered the finals again, they have grown to the point where there is no room for improvement.

Compared to them, the Wizards have grown in another year.

This time there was absolutely no stopping power.

The Wizards easily swept the Lakers 4-0 and won the championship trophy at Staples.

When David Stern came out with the trophy, he had only one thought in his mind: This Wizards team must be dismantled this year!
