One Thousand Nine Hundred and Eighteen Thousand One?
The Bulls have become the dominant team in the Eastern Conference. Either Sun Ce looks down on... or he looks down on the Raptors. He has never seen DeRozan play well in 3D when he plays double-guaranteed, and he has never seen DeRozan play well. When Vince plays well, of course, we can also look forward to seeing if the Raptors can make a splash when they meet the Bulls in the Eastern Conference Finals...
Now the 76ers probably have no chance to stop the Bulls. They were unable to stop the Bulls last season, and now the gap is even wider. The only hope for the 76ers now is the free market with the skyrocketing salary cap in the summer. They have multiple contracts expiring. Able to sign two maximum salaries with starting salaries exceeding $25 million.
Shortly after the game between the Bulls and the 76ers, the first game of the series between the Warriors and the Spurs that Sun Ce really valued began.
The score in the first quarter was 34-37, with the Warriors trailing by 3 points at the start.
The two teams' offense in the first quarter felt like a fight between gods. Sun Ce compared his team's starting lineup... Anyway, it was the Grizzlies who couldn't play, because the defense of the two teams was not bad, but it could be said that Played top defense!
Draymond Green and Duncan are equally matched.
What happened next was beyond Sun Ce's expectation. Rondo + Diaw + Ginobili, with a pitcher and a pie-shaped inside man, actually had a great fight with the Warriors' five small players led by Curry and Iguodala. Even prevail!
It wasn't until Harden came on the court in the middle of the second quarter that the situation was stabilized.
Curry is a bit restricted. It is difficult to shoot three-pointers. He has no rebound guarantee when trying to make waves. His mid-range jumper is not easy to use. Except for occasional opportunities, most of the time when he shows his tendency to make mid-range shots, he is blocked. Very dead.
But Harden is different, Guy is not as strong as him! This season, Harden is already the heaviest shooting guard in the league. His speed, flexibility, and explosiveness are all top-notch, and his overall physical fitness is not inferior to Wade's.
From the second half of the second quarter to the first half of the third quarter, Harden led the team to keep the score tight. Finally, Harden survived Curry's CD time. In the second half of the third quarter, Curry made 3 three-pointers. In 3, Curry's performance directly disrupted the Spurs' defense. In this half quarter, the Warriors went on a 16-9 run and overtook the Spurs by one point, 87-86.
Then, the Spurs didn't know what to do, just like they had for the past decade or so. What they were good at, although Rondo was the None of the shots were made, giving Rondo a chance to counterattack.
This time, after encountering a fierce blow from Curry at a critical moment, the Spurs did not regain their momentum.
In the end, with Harden's 39 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists, Curry's 28 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists, and Draymond Green's 11 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals... the Warriors defeated the Spurs 117-110. ,
Won the first win of the series.
"Brother, the Spurs are so unlucky that they encountered an outbreak among primary school students."
Listening to Zu Ge's evaluation of this game, Sun Ce nodded: "Yes, the Spurs do not lose to the Warriors in regular performance, but no one can compete with Harden in anxious games, and no one can compete with Curry in key goals. , Guy was miserably guarded by Iguodala tonight..."
The 72-win Warriors...the Spurs who have paid the luxury tax for the first time in many years and whose regular strength is not inferior to their Grizzlies...Sun Ce feels that this year's Western Conference Finals will have a headache.
But that is all for the future. After watching the game, Sun Ce took a bath and went to bed early to recharge his batteries. Knowing that Sun Ce would have a game tomorrow, Zu Goose got into bed and fell asleep quickly...
Nothing happened overnight, and on the second day, May 2, the first game of the series between the Grizzlies and Thunder arrived.
In the morning, the Grizzlies conducted two tactical training sessions. In the afternoon, they had a rest and did not do too much training.
Although they don't have much time for targeted training, the other side has even less time, and the Grizzlies coaching staff is confident.
By noon, the NBA officially announced the Best Rookie and Best Defensive Player awards.
Towns of the Timberwolves won the Rookie of the Year award without any suspense. Although Porzingis, Russell, and Okafor, who only played 50 games, all performed very well, and Porzingis even more so. It can be described as dazzling.
But compared with Towns, who averaged 18 points, 11 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.7 blocks per game, the brilliance of others was overshadowed.
This is a center who has no suspense and will be 20+10 all year round. Such data has only been achieved by Cousins since Howard's back injury collapsed!
In comparison, Russell is a potential stock, Porzingis is dazzling but remains to be seen in the long term, and Okafor was abandoned after the All-Star weekend... There is really no one who can compare with Towns.
What was then announced was the final personal finale award for the best defensive player of the season.
Sun Ce and his teammates have been waiting in the lounge since the morning training, waiting for the awards.
"I shouldn't be able to win this award. The Warriors are only a little bit behind us..."
Sun Ce did not have high expectations, lest the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
"Third brother, as you said, what if you see a ghost?" Randolph said, picking his nostrils.
"..." Sun Ce watched Randolph's movements and silently moved his seat away from this guy.
His teammates are obviously more concerned about winning awards than Sun Ce.
Because they are now followers tied to Sun Ce's thighs, the more honors Sun Ce gets, the more proud they are. Although it is expected that Sun Ce will not get the best defensive player this year, it is unlikely to complete the crazy achievement of winning MVP+DPOY in a row. As Sun Ce said, the Warriors are not bad, not only not bad, their Grizzlies' performance in the regular season this season is only 1 point better than the Warriors. If the Grizzlies' score last season is a full score of 100 points, this season they should have 99 points, and the Warriors have at least 98 points!
But, what if?
At 12:05, Paul George, who was operating the computer, pressed F5 frantically. I don't know how many people on the NBA official website were refreshing the webpage at this time. It seems that the server is about to crash. It took a long time to refresh the page.
When Sun Ce's nickname appeared on the cover of the NBA official website, there was silence in the lounge for two seconds, and then crazy cheers broke out!
Although they hoped to see Sun Ce win the award, they didn't expect that Sun Ce really got it!
While others were cheering, Sun Ce looked at the webpage that Paul George had opened...
He, Sun, received 33% of the votes, surpassing Draymond Green's 27%, DeAndre Jordan's 19%, and Leonard's 17%...
"Winning MVP+DPOY consecutively? Fuck you..."
