Chapter 626 2009~2010 Season MVP

The current big score between the Suns and the Mavericks is somewhat unexpected.

Because regardless of paper strength, first-round performance, or even coaching ability, the Mavericks have the upper hand.

However, after watching the game between the two teams, you will find that the Suns are better than the Mavericks in one aspect.

Sense of space.

As mentioned before, Frye and others increased the sense of space on the court.

On the other hand, for the Mavericks, when O'Neal is on the court, the team's offense can only be launched from the inside.

Otherwise, if O'Neal followed him and ran back and forth on the court, it would be better not to play.

So this looks more like a battle between "small ball" and "big ball".

Judging from the current situation, the more advanced small balls have the upper hand.

In G6 of both sides, Sun Hao and the Warriors players watched the live broadcast.

The game was played at America's West Arena, home of the Suns.

Playing away from home, the Mavericks' only goal is to drag the game into a tiebreaker. At that time, they have the advantage of home court and will have a greater chance of winning.

So at the very beginning of the game, the Mavericks showed a strong desire to win, and O'Neal also hoisted Camby up in the paint.

However, after the game entered the second half, the Suns gradually took away the momentum of the game as before.

Especially the scene where O'Neal is not out when he is on defense, and it is not like not to go out, which makes Mavericks fans indescribably uncomfortable to watch.

In the end, Johnson, the head coach of the Mavericks, had to take O'Neal off the court and let Nowitzki play the five position, playing his favorite small lineup.

This did have some effect, and the Mavericks were in a stalemate with the score until the final decisive moment.

In the last quarter, the scene of O'Neal sitting on the bench made people sigh.

Prior to this, other than being "hacked", when else would O'Neal have experienced something like this.

Even fans can basically conclude that O'Neal should not be too far away from retirement.

And what's even more uncomfortable for Mavericks fans is that even if they did this, the Suns still won G6 in the end.

4-2, the Suns unexpectedly eliminated the Mavericks and advanced to the second round of the playoffs.

In sharp contrast to O'Neal's lonely figure in the fourth quarter was Nash's reaction after the game.

At the end of the game, Nash's eyes were completely red.

In the past few seasons, they had a better lineup but always exited early. As a result, this year they had a worse lineup and beat the Mavericks.

It really corresponds to the sentence in the NBA advertisement: where.amzing.happen.

In this case, they will encounter the Warriors in the next round.

In the post-game handshake, Nash and Nowitzki, old friends, hugged each other tightly for a long time.

Nowitzki patted his back and touched Nash's head like Sun Hao did.

Time is really the most invisible thing. In the blink of an eye, eight years have passed since they played together.

How many eight years can a person have in this life?

Nash eliminated the Mavericks team led by Nowitzki, and then they will play against the Warriors team led by Sun Hao.

For him, this playoff journey is really interesting.

The Warriors and Suns have determined their opponents here, and the remaining three groups of conference semifinals are also being announced.

The remaining matchup in the West is the Clippers VS Trail Blazers.

The Spurs brought a lot of trouble to the Clippers, but the Clippers still won relatively easily 4-1.

As the defending champion, Kobe and this Clippers team are currently the strongest in the league in terms of strength and tacit understanding.

On the other side, the Nuggets suffered an upset from the Trail Blazers.

James' performance is still outstanding, and he has gradually formed the "James System" style of play with high ball holding.

At this time, the Nuggets' shortcomings are also obvious. Iverson's strength has deteriorated and he is no longer qualified to play the role of the second leader.

Even more deadly than Iverson are Ben and Marion. These two were completely injured in the matchup with Horford and Aldridge.

Especially Ben, he can be described as almost helpless against Horford.

Of course, the most exciting performance came from Roy. In the G6 game, he scored a 0.8-second countdown and directly carried the Nuggets out.

The name Yellow Mamba has also become known to more people after this series.

In the Eastern Conference, the two semifinal matches are Bulls VS Wizards and Celtics VS Magic.

Compared with the west, the results in the east can be said to be no big surprise.

The Bulls easily defeated the Bobcats. Although the Wizards had a back-and-forth with the Pacers, Yao Ming's dominance in the paint still helped the Wizards have the last laugh.

The Celtics played seven games with the Heat on a daily basis, and in the final tiebreaker, the Heat were beaten to advance.

After the game, Wade's eyes had an indescribable sense of confusion.

More and more fans feel that Wade is really likely to leave Miami next season.

On the other side, although the Magic are without Turkoglu, Howard's dominance is still strong, and the Hawks have caused them limited trouble.

And this is really the best year for Howard.

Because he finally doesn’t have to fight Yao Ming anymore! !

In the past few years, he was not about to be beaten, but he was really beaten to the point of being autistic.

Before the start of the Western Conference semifinals, the league announced the second batch of awards for the season, Best Rookie and Best Defensive Player.

These two awards belong to Tyreke Evans of the Kings and Howard of the Magic.

Evans became the fourth player in the NBA to score 20+5+5 in his rookie season, which is the same as in history.

Howard completed Dpoy's three consecutive games.

It is worth mentioning that Oden ranked third in dpoy's selection.

Although he didn't win the award in the end, it was already a recognition of his performance.

You must know that he is on Nelson's team!

If in the past, people said that the center of Nelson's team could have a chance to participate in the dpoy competition, others would think you were joking.

After the announcement of these awards, the league's division semifinals also began one after another.

The Warriors have the best record in the regular season and have home court advantage in all division series.

In the first game, they showed their absolute advantage.

The Suns' biggest space advantage in the game against the Mavericks is basically of no use against the Warriors.

If it were Oden before he lost weight, then Oden would indeed be in the same situation as O'Neal before that he was neither going out nor going out.

But now, Oden has lost weight and his movement speed has increased significantly, so he can get out.

Coupled with Ibaka's excellent defensive ability, the Suns' advantage is no longer an advantage.

On the contrary, the Warriors' fast-paced style of play made it difficult for the Suns, whose average age was relatively high.

To put it in a very vivid way, in Nash's eyes, the Warriors look like the original Suns.

And the Warriors also have a defense that the Suns didn't have at the beginning.

It can be said that the Warriors are completely an upgraded version of the Suns.

Anything the Suns can do, the Warriors can do better.

The result of such a matchup can be imagined.

Relying on their desire to win, the Suns won a victory at the hands of the Warriors, but in the end they were eliminated 1-4.

The two-round series was both 4-1, and the Grizzlies and Suns they defeated were not bad in terms of strength or playoff performance.

It can also be seen from this that the strength of this Warriors team has indeed reached a certain level.

The Warriors were the first team to advance from the conference semifinals, and the other three conference semifinals were relatively anxious.

Especially for the Trail Blazers and Clippers, the Yellow Mamba battled the Black Mamba, and the fans were hooked.

After waiting for almost four days, the matchups for the remaining groups in the Eastern and Western Conferences came out one after another.

The Clippers and Trail Blazers received the most attention. In the end, the Clippers were superior and eliminated the Trail Blazers with a score of 4 to 2.

Although the Trail Blazers lost honorably, Roy and his youth army can be said to have left with their heads held high.

In comparison, the fight in the east was even more brutal.

The game between the Bulls and the Wizards reached a tiebreaker. Although the Wizards were weaker overall, Yao Ming's presence really allowed them to fight over the top.

However, at the end of the game, Yao Ming still found himself in a difficult situation.

Especially in the tiebreaker, the Bulls took advantage of their home court to fully explode, while the Wizards basically only got beaten.

In the end, the Bulls eliminated the Wizards 4-3 and reached the Eastern Conference Finals.

At the end of the series, the entire Chicago fan base was in a frenzy.

This is the first time they have reached the conference finals since Jordan retired!

According to local media reports, Chicago entered a "sleepless night" on the night the team reached the conference finals.

One can imagine what Chicago would look like if Paul led this team to the finals or even win the championship.

This is the "sequelae" Jordan brought to the city of Chicago.

And Paul fans are also going crazy, their CP3 finally touched the floor of the Eastern Conference Finals!

Of course, Guangdong fans are also excited, because this is also the first time Yi Jianlian has played in the conference finals.

They can even see the encounter between "Guangdong Gang" Sun Hao and Yi Jianlian in the finals!

On the other side, the game between the Celtics and Magic was also extremely fierce.

Although Howard no longer had to face Yao Ming, he met another guy who made him uncomfortable, Perkins.

Facts have proved that Rivers' coaching is still something. He has always let Rasheed Wallace and Garnett start before.

But against the Magic, he decisively let Perkins start.

Perkins doesn't work well against skilled insiders, but he can still play a big role against Howard, a "rough brother".

This may not seem to have a big impact, but in a matchup with a similar strength, this kind of detail is actually enough to determine success or failure.

At the end of the game, another 4-3, the Celtics eliminated the Magic and successfully advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals.

In this way, both sides of the East-West showdown are revealed.

Eastern Bulls VS Celtics.

Western Clippers VS Warriors.

No matter which group these two teams play against, people are full of expectations.

Just before the start of the conference finals, the league announced the third batch and the most important season award: the regular season MVP!

One of the people with the highest voices this year is Paul of the Bulls. After all, the Bulls have the best record in the league. Paul also had a heroic performance of 22 points, 5.6 rebounds, 11 assists and 2.8 steals.

The second is Sun Hao of the Warriors.

Some people can see it with the naked eye, but when you look at the data, you'll see, good guy, averaging 26.2 points, 5 rebounds and 9.6 assists per game, shooting 51% from the field and 44% from three-point range.

Then, there is Kobe Bryant of the Clippers.

Although the Clippers' record is 2 games less than the Warriors, Kobe's average of 27.2 points, 6.2 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game is not inferior to Sun Hao.

Then, apart from these three, there is a fourth person that many people can’t think of.

Because he is Sun Hao's teammate "Little Coach" Durant.

Durant also averaged 25 points, 7.6 rebounds and 3 assists per game.

Although the statistics of James, Anthony and others this season are also very gorgeous, after all, the team's record is a bit disappointing.

Therefore, there is a high probability that the MVP candidate will be born among these four people.

When the final selection results came out, the votes were basically concentrated on these four people.

The one who finally got the MVP was...Paul!

After all, it was Sun Hao who paddled away the MVP.

But Paul deserves his MVP award.

The Bulls' performance so far this season can be described as perfect.

As the team leader, Paul is definitely the biggest contributor.

After touching the floor of the Eastern Conference Finals and winning the MVP, Paul can really be described as a winner in life this season.

Of course, honors are just the icing on the cake for players. Whether they can take the Bulls to a higher level, especially whether they can win the championship that players pursue all their lives, is the most important thing.

When the MVP selection results came out, Durant was madly complaining to Sun Hao.

"This MVP is really a joke. How can CP3 compare to you? The league is just for promoting newcomers!"

Durant is still so real.

"CP3 is still playing very well this season."

Sun Hao didn't pay much attention.

If he is given another chance to choose whether to compete for the MVP or help Curry and Durant grow, he will still choose the latter.

Because the MVP is in the present, but Curry and Durant are in the future.

"No, no, I have to find a reporter to talk about this. This is so unfair. I even think it's because of the sneakers!"

Durant remains aggrieved.

After all, Sun Hao is Adidas’ top player, and this alliance is Nike’s alliance.

Sun Hao coughed and hurriedly signaled Dulan to act recklessly.

If this was really something he wanted to fight for, he would have put pressure on Stern first without Durant.

The question isn't, so it's really not necessary.

If you really think about it, Durant has developed this season and Curry is on the right track. He will be more effective in the regular season next season.

No matter what, if you play for the Warriors, you will definitely win the MVP once.

"Why!"

Durant shook his head helplessly.

"I hope Chicago can reach the Finals now, because then everyone will know how ridiculous this MVP award is."

"No, I still hope Boston can advance to the finals. That guy who doesn't deserve to be called Kevin, I still want to teach him a lesson!"

Durant began to contradict himself as he spoke.

Sun Hao looked on with a wry smile and shook his head.

Durant is possessed by McGrady!

As for the Warriors, the Clippers may not be able to do well this year. It's really too early to think about the finals now.

But while he was smiling, his expression suddenly turned serious.

The complete Kobe and Clippers, at this level, he needs to go all out!
