I'm good at basketball too

Chapter 143

The best defensive team, Li Ran originally thought that he was sure, if not in the first team, he would be in the second team.

Unexpectedly, he was not selected at all.

Blocks and steals are areas that Li Ran is not very good at right now. His two data are 0.8 and 1.1 respectively.

And his role in the Nuggets' defensive system has not been realized by most people in the league.

All-Defensive First Team: Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett, LeBron James, Dwight Howard and Chris Paul.

All-Defensive Team Second Team: Ron Artest, Shane Battier, Raja Rondo, Tim Duncan, Dwyane Wade.

And the honor of DPOY was finally snatched from Garnett by Sparks.

There is quite a sense of inheritance. The old rebounding king and DPOY stepped down from the altar, and the new generation of defensive gates took over the scepter in his hand.

The Most Improved Player was acquired by Pacers' new core Danny Granger, whose scoring average soared from 19.1 points per game last season to 25.8 points per game this season.

Although the number of shots has increased by a full four times, his efficiency has not declined at all.

The best coach is undoubtedly won by George Karl.

The Nuggets led by him have improved from 50 wins and 32 losses last season to 69 wins and 13 losses this season, which is not a small improvement.

The best sixth man was won by the Mavericks' Jet Terry. He averaged 19.6 points per game, second only to the German King's 25.6 points, and is one of the Mavericks' most important scoring points.

In the end, of course, is the most important MVP.

The top three in this year's MVP rankings are LeBron James, Kobe Bryant and Carmelo Anthony.

詹姆斯场均得到28.4分7.6篮板7.2助攻，带领骑士获得66胜16负的战绩。

Bryant averaged 26.8 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game, leading the Lakers to 66 wins.

Although Anthony's scoring average has declined this season to less than 23 points, the Nuggets' record is the first in the league.

"2008-09 NBA Most Valuable Player - LeBron James."

With the announcement of David Stern, Ah Tan still won the first MVP trophy in his career just like in history.

In the case of teams with similar records, player data is the most important basis.

James, who has the highest usage rate of the ball and is also the most comprehensive, finally won the vote.

After the honors have been divided, the playoffs are also in full swing.

In the West, the Nuggets played against the Hornets, the Lakers played against the Jazz, and the Spurs played against the Mavericks in the first round.Mosaic vs. Blazers.

In the East, the Cavaliers are against the Pistons, the Celtics are against the Bulls, the Magic are against the Numbers, and the Eagles are against the Heat.

Li Ran was concentrating on warming up before the match on the sidelines.

They have all the home court advantage this playoffs, which is determined by their first record in the league.

The distribution of host, host, guest, guest, host, guest, host is much more reasonable than the 232 in previous years.

After all, playing at home is a huge advantage that cannot be ignored.

George Karl is not worried about the outcome of this series. In the words of McGrady, he is already thinking about his opponent in the next round.

It's not that George Karl is arrogant, but that the Nuggets are amazing against the Hornets.

All this is because of Li Ran.

After Li Ran got better at defending, his defense against Paul can be called my natural enemy.

As long as Paul is locked up, the Hornets are a mess.

The progress of the game was exactly as George Karl expected, and because Li Ran was playing in the playoffs for the first time, he used too much force, and even gave up attacking, and devoted all his energy to defending Paul, which led to the final result of the game. . . .

ugly.

The Nuggets, who have the No. [-] record in the regular season, played against No. [-] in the Western Conference at their home court. They were killed in the first game of the series.

Li Ran, who completely gave up on offense and only loves me, played 36 minutes and scored 8 points, 18 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks.

This is the first time since he entered the league that he has scored less than ten points since the beginning of the regular season.

But it's all worth it.

For the Nuggets, the exchange of Li Ran and Paul is something they can't wait to see.

Because without Paul, with David West alone, the Nuggets can handle him with a lot of people.

Anthony went all out, scoring a game-high 32 points.

Billups had 22 points and 10 assists.

O'Neal also chatted with the old man about being a teenager. After entering the playoffs, the old Shark finally showed his sharp teeth that he had sharpened all season.

18 points, 11 rebounds and 3 blocks.

The unlucky Paul met Li Ran who was in another state of full firepower. He only made 18 of 5 shots in the game, and only scored a pitiful 13 points, 5 assists and [-] turnovers.

In this case, no matter how explosive the other Hornets players are, they will not be able to save the team's fate.

110-82, the Nuggets gave the series a good start with a 28-point victory.

Although Li Ran only existed as a pure defensive vanguard in this game, his successful defense against Paul made Curry very excited.

Some people, the more they lack something, the more they like it, such as dunking, such as defense.

The Hornets were beaten all over their heads, but Byron Scott had nothing to do.

A similar scene had already appeared in the regular season. Byron Scott was helpless at the time, but he felt that his team should not be unlucky enough to meet the Nuggets in the playoffs.

Happened to meet.

In the second round, Li Ran followed suit.

Paul's mentality was almost broken, but his little tricks had no effect on Li Ran.

In the second game, Paul scored 15 points, but made two more turnovers.

7 turnovers is almost unimaginable for Paul, who is known for his stability.

The Hornets were once again crushed by the Nuggets without any suspense.

李然这场比赛11分15篮板，帮助球队98-79，17分再胜一场。

The two unsuspecting victories let the whole league know that the goal of the Hornets in the first round should be to win if they don't get swept.

However, will the Nuggets, who have already played aggressively, satisfy the humble wish of the Hornets?

the answer is--

will not!

When they came to New Orleans, the Nuggets took advantage of the victory and pursued. This time, George Karl specifically asked Li Ran to increase his investment in the offensive end.

After Li Ran's sharp knife on the offensive end was thrown into the attack, the Hornets were completely defeated.

Paul, who originally returned to the home court and wanted to win back a city to avoid being swept, saw the point difference at halftime, and his heart was cold.

Obviously a good buddy with a good relationship, you are so crazy to stab me in the waist?
As a member of the Banana Boat Brothers, Paul looked at Anthony, who scored 22 points in the half, and secretly complained in his heart.

However, another person is more hateful than Anthony.

That damn zero!
In the first half, Li Ran changed his low-key attitude in the previous two games, and rushed to the inside of the Hornets when he got the ball.

In just halftime, David West had fouled four times.

Coupled with the locked Paul, it can be said that Li Ran single-handedly defeated the core duo of the Hornets in this game.

In just halftime, the point difference was already approaching [-] points.

Wait, this plot seems familiar?
