One Thousand Six Hundred and Thirty-Four. Unanimous MVP

On May 3, Sun Ce got up early and took Zu Ge to San Francisco again.

This is the first time in his career that Sun Ce feels so powerless!

The first two games were won with difficulty, and the next three games were lost three games in a row.

It has never been so difficult before. Compared with the first round against the Mavericks, this year is even more difficult!

Because the Warriors are young, in this series, Sun Ce watched the Warriors get better and better!

This is a team with the strength to compete for the championship, but Sun Ce felt that his team had lost the dominance of the previous two years, and it was the Warriors who played the dominance.

As for the Warriors' head coach Mark Jackson's rigid rotation and stubborn tactics, these aspects are gradually not available to the Grizzlies.

Mark Jackson's rigid rotation and stubborn tactics do not mean bad!

The reason why he is so stubborn is that his rotation is a good regular rotation, and his tactics are a good regular tactics. He is unwilling to take risks from the bottom of his heart, and the regular rotation and tactics are very good. This is the core reason why Mark Jackson is unwilling to take risks.

When Curry played so well, using the threat of outside shooting to drive the Warriors' offense, and the Warriors' offensive tactics were executed very well, it was too strong!

Any tactical system, in its ideal state, must be invincible, the key is feasibility, player configuration, and execution.

Like Pat Riley's five James tactics, that is definitely invincible.

But James is James, there is no second one. Evans is called the point guard James, but the gap between Evans and James in his fifth year of his career is still quite obvious. James in his fifth year of his career has almost the defensive ability of the best defensive team, and he is already a stable first-team player.

Every superstar in NBA history is unique, even Kobe, who is most similar to Jordan, is actually completely different in details.

The Warriors' tactical system is good. Most of the tactics of Steve Kerr, who took over the Warriors in the original time and space, were inherited from Mark Jackson's tactical system. The Warriors players are selected around this system. The players are strong, have good execution, and are smart, especially Curry. Mark Jackson once said that Curry's style of play would ruin the team. Curry also held back those dissatisfactions in the playoffs, but led his teammates to fully support Mark Jackson's coaching, and did not fight internally because of the loss of the first two games.

The Warriors, who gathered together for victory,

have already become champions!

Facing such an opponent, Sun Ce had to admit that without Randolph, they had a slight gap in strength with the Warriors. It might not be big, but in the playoffs when both sides have already figured out each other's games, a little gap is fatal!

Because Randolph made up for the lack of inside attack ability, and it was just to supplement this point. When Randolph was not there, they must have thought of ways to circumvent this point. Randolph came back, and the efforts made to circumvent this point and the progress in other aspects may have less effect, or even regress.

But if Randolph can play, and can play at 80% of the level of last season, they will not be able to make up for that little gap.

Because that little bit is fatal, the three losses were all due to that little bit.

Every time Sun Ce loses, the media sighs that the Grizzlies are only a little bit behind.

This time when he goes to San Francisco, Sun Ce is ready not to come back.

It can be said that it is a do-or-die battle. If he wins, he will drag it to the seventh game, and if he loses, he will go fishing in Los Angeles for the No. 24 player to see.

During the flight, Zu Ge was still chirping as before, but the content of the conversation was different. When he went to San Francisco last time, Zu Ge was talking about the Warriors players, and even when he came back, he was talking about other series, but this time, Zu Ge was talking about what happened to her at school.

Obviously, Zu Ge didn't want Sun Ce to be too nervous. At this time, he relaxed moderately and transferred the pressure. Zu Ge wanted to help Sun Ce in the best way possible.

In fact, Sun Ce himself, playing until now, except for the feeling of powerlessness that he is not strong enough, the pressure is not as great as before the start of the series.

At that time, Sun Ce was not aware of the specific situation of his team in the playoffs, and was worried about the uncertainty of the Warriors, who were about to start their dominance in the next season in the original time and space. Complex emotions filled Sun Ce's mind.

But now, Sun Ce understands the specific strength of his team. It is very clear that they lack dominance in the playoffs without Randolph, and their defense is not that good. If they really defend, their offense cannot be maintained, and this is what Randolph can do.

Sun Ce also understands the Warriors. They are very strong! The championship has already emerged.

Curry may be stronger than the same period in the original time and space, and Harden, although he cannot play the role of Klay Thompson's top 3D player, his strong offensive ability when Curry needs to share the pressure is far stronger than Klay Thompson. This is a player who is about to become a superstar, and any team that gets him is a treasure.

Although Thabeet only plays 24 or 25 minutes per game, he is a threat at the basket on offense and a rim-protecting player at close range and under the basket on defense. He can even interfere with mid-range and long-range shots when defending against pick-and-rolls. Although he can't be taken back, the Warriors have gained a lot from his patient training for four years.

When the strength of the two teams is in front of him, Sun Ce doesn't feel the pressure anymore. There is nothing he can do about it.

Of course, it's not that there is no chance. If they perform exceptionally well and the other team performs averagely; or if they perform normally and Curry doesn't continue to soar, they still have a chance to win.

You may need to gamble on luck, but luck is part of strength.

In such a clear situation, Sun Ce's mentality is particularly stable.

This is the calmness that a quasi-three-time MVP, two-time champion and two-time Finals MVP should have. He did not deliberately adjust his mentality in this regard, but after winning so many honors, he naturally had such a mentality. The more others think they are going to be finished, the calmer he is.

…

…

As the first round of the playoffs progresses, some teams have gone fishing, while others are still fighting.

The Bulls and Spurs swept their opponents and advanced to the second round on May 1. The suppression of the first place in the East and West over the eighth place is very obvious.

Jimmy Butler is popular again in this playoffs. In the series against the Spurs, Jimmy Butler played 4 games, averaging 22.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals. The Jazz legend and current Suns coach predicted that Jimmy Butler will become an All-Star player next season.

However, the general argument is that Jimmy Butler is likely to have the strength of a real All-Star player next season, but it is much more difficult to be selected as an All-Star frontcourt in the West than in the East.

There are also teams that advance on No. 2. The 76ers defeated the Raptors 4-1 to advance to the second round, giving the Raptors no chance to continue struggling.

DeRozan "stole the show" in this series, averaging 21 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists per game, which looks pretty good.

However, the hit rate is 35%, 100 shots in 5 games, 35 shots, averaging 7 of 20 shots!

The Heat also defeated the Knicks 4-1 to advance to the second round. Dragic also emerged in this series. In the only game the Knicks won, Dragic scored 20 points and 3 assists in the final quarter. When the Knicks were 8 points behind in the third quarter, he led the team to a score of 32-22, making a strong comeback.

Although the Knicks only won this game, Dragic became popular and showed his completely different characteristics from Nash. He is a point guard with excellent single defense and scoring priority, and is completely different from Nash's organizing guard.

The only undecided game in the East is the series between the Nets and the Pacers. The Nets lost the decisive battle and fell behind 3-2. The veteran team will return to their home court to play the sixth game with the young team.

In the West, except for the Spurs' advancement, the other three series were all played 3-2.

The Lakers lead the Mavericks 3-2, not because they won the decisive battle, but because the Lakers won the fourth away game. However, the Mavericks won the fifth game in Los Angeles. The Mavericks will return to their home court to try to drag the game to a tiebreaker.

The Trail Blazers lost their home advantage and won the fifth home game after falling behind 1-3. They will visit Oklahoma City again with a big score of 2-3.

The series that have not yet been decided in the first round are all duels between popular and strong teams.

The series can be played to this point, and there is no question of whether you are familiar with the opponent's playing style. Both sides have a clear understanding of each other's strength.

Now, the two sides are competing for status, grasp of game details, and tactical response at critical moments.

…

At noon on May 3, the Grizzlies arrived at the hotel in San Francisco, and the NBA officially announced the most important award of this season's regular season - the regular season most valuable player.

This award is important, but it is indeed the least suspenseful award. None of the 125 voters abstained from voting. Sun Ce relied on his crazy performance in the regular season. Although his record was only ranked sixth in the league, he received all 125 first-place votes and became the first player in NBA history to win the regular season MVP with unanimous votes!

The performance in the first round of the playoffs will indeed affect the voters' views. Bill Walton, a Time Warner commentator who has the right to vote, tweeted after learning that Sun Ce was unanimously elected MVP: "I was very hesitant when I voted. I almost didn't want to vote for the lord. Fortunately, I didn't ruin this great moment."

Sun Ce is different from the first time he won the MVP. He has won two championships. Although the Grizzlies were at a disadvantage in the first round of this playoffs, as a superstar who has successfully won two championships and is only 24 years old and is on the rise, the commentators, media, radio hosts, etc. who have the right to vote all voted for him!

Sun Ce was unanimously elected as the regular season MVP. This is not a big deal. MVP is MVP. When discussing historical status and strength, it is difficult to regard this as part of the ranking or strength. It is more useful as a topic of conversation among fans and more useful for media hype.

Because this is only a single season comparison, it is difficult to say how much advantage Sun Ce has over James' 70 wins and Jordan's 72 wins in the regular season this year, because they are not in the same season and are not compared in the same environment. The two MVPs are James' peak year and Jordan's strongest year after the three consecutive games. It is difficult to say who is greater.

However, although it cannot be used to enhance historical status, after all, at Sun Ce's stage, MVP has reached the point of competing in quantity, but at this moment, it has a significant effect on boosting the confidence of their Grizzlies players!

At this time, the media hyped up Sun Ce's dominance in the regular season, giving the Grizzlies players a belief that their team has the strongest MVP!

Now for the Grizzlies, the series with the Warriors is a battle of form, which cannot be controlled. No one expected Curry's high three-point shooting rate in the past two games, and Sun Ce could not have imagined that Klay Thompson, Beverly, and Tony Allen would take turns to defend. Curry did not even have a cylinder, but he could shoot 8 of 12 three-pointers.

Although Sun also lost his shooting cylinder in the playoffs, he was much taller than Curry, a recognized "177 cm" player, and was much less affected.

The Grizzlies have always done a good job in controlling the details of the game, otherwise they would not have lost by a single digit when Curry scored 45 points in the last game.

Similarly, the Warriors also controlled the details very well, especially in the third game, seizing the opportunity of the Grizzlies' three consecutive missed shots and locking in the victory in one fell swoop.

Tactical response at critical moments... Both teams did not do well, and it was difficult to affect the performance of the other side.

Now, it's all about form and morale!

The Grizzlies' morale has been greatly affected by losing three games in a row. The news that Sun Ce was unanimously elected MVP was announced today, which greatly inspired the fighting spirit of the Grizzlies players!

Before the MVP award was announced, several other awards were announced.

The Best Manager was won by the Bulls, who got Griffin. It is definitely more profitable to trade Boozer and two draft picks for Griffin than to trade Paul for James. Paul is at least a strong candidate for the first team and the first defense.

The Best Sixth Man was won by Nowitzki, who averaged just 20 points per game. He became the team's scoring leader as a substitute. This is the second time in NBA history. The last time was Ricky Pierce, the Bucks' leading scorer in the 1989-90 season. Ricky Pierce's average of 23 points per game is the highest average score of a substitute in NBA history.

With such performance, Nowitzki won the Best Sixth Man without any suspense.

The substitute averaged 20 points per game, which has only appeared three times in NBA history. In addition to these two people, another person is also the best sixth man, the Suns small forward Eddie Johnson in the 1988-89 season.

The best rookie McCaw received 79 first-place votes and won the title steadily. Although his reputation as a brush has been revealed, the team's record of averaging 17 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists and 2.2 steals per game is only 19 wins and 63 losses, the last in the league, but there is really no player in the 2013 class who can be picked out to beat McCaw in the rookie year.

The Most Improved Award was won by Knicks player Goran Dragic, who averaged 21 points and 7.4 assists per game. The 27-year-old Dragic played the best performance of his career so far.

…

After Sun Ce won the MVP, Sun Ce did not rush to hold a press conference, asking the team to wait. If the next sixth game is lost, he will receive the award while fishing.

If he can win the sixth game, he will return to the home court to present the award to boost morale!

After going through so many things this year, although Sun Ce is extremely eager to win, his heart is still full of immature thoughts like a teenager, but for this series, he can accept it calmly, whether he wins or loses.

But, fight, you must fight with all your strength!

Both sides are familiar with each other... Sun Ce is going to make the other side unfamiliar with him tonight!

Anyway, it has come to this point, Sun Ce is also going all out, screw him!

After the pre-match meeting in the morning and the basic tactical training, today's pre-match preparations are over, just waiting for lunch, rest in the afternoon, and play the sixth game with the Warriors at 7 pm.

At noon, another major award of the regular season was announced.

The NBA officially announced that Heat center Tyson Chandler won the 2013-2014 season's best defensive player with 25% of the votes, beating Noah with 22% of the votes and Duncan with 21% of the votes.

Paul George ranked fourth with 14% of the votes and missed the best defensive player.

The fifth is Hibbert, the sixth is Ibaka, the seventh is Anthony Davis, the eighth is Thabeet, the ninth is Jordan, and the tenth is James.

When Sun Ce was reading the news on his phone during lunch, he saw this vote rate. It's really amazing in the past two years. When Howard was at his peak, he always got 80 or 90 first-place votes. Now, the first-place votes are extremely scattered, and the top three are almost the same.

What makes Sun Ce most upset is how Duncan got 24 first-place votes again. Although Duncan didn't get the first-place vote when voting for MVP, he ranked third with 21 second-place votes. Except for Sun Ce who got all the first-place votes, only Rose and Evans MVP scored higher than Duncan.

But looking at Duncan's average of 15.2 points, 10 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2 blocks in the regular season, and 21 points, 11 rebounds and 4 blocks in the first four games against Kanter and Marvin Williams... It doesn't seem to be a problem.

Sun Ce thought about it, if he remembered correctly, in the original time and space, Duncan was still in the third lineup and second defense in the next season... The strongest point among them was Duncan's defensive efficiency. Sun Ce had a very impressive statistic. Except for the 08-09 season, 09-10 season, and 10-11 season, which were the transition period of his playing style, Duncan failed to limit the opponent's score below 100 points per 100 possessions. Even the year he retired and could not maintain an average of 10 points per game, he limited the opponent's score to 99 points per 100 possessions when he played, and that was achieved in the small ball era.

After lunch, Sun Ce played table tennis for a while to help digest his food. While playing table tennis, he was thinking that it would be great if his personal defense could be improved.

Without Gasol, Larry Sanders and Randolph's inside defense combination, Sun Ce deeply felt the shortcomings of his defense! Relying on teammates is not a bad thing, but it is really powerless when the team has problems!
