Healthy basketball, starting from eating the old Lakers F4

On the morning of May 5, the third day before the Bulls advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals, the league officials finally announced the regular season MVP preview.

Three candidates for regular season MVP this season were announced - Duane, Kobe and Wade.

In the past, the regular season MVP was announced during the second round of the playoffs.

But the problem is that James, the regular season MVP last season, not only failed to show the strength that a regular season MVP should have in the Eastern Conference semifinals series, but was ravaged and mercilessly humiliated by Du En.

In the offseason, he even brought his talent to the South Coast with the honor of second consecutive MVP, and formed the Big Three with Wade and Bosh.

Such a cowardly move undoubtedly discredits the honor of regular season MVP.

Not to mention, when the Heat had no salary space, James took the initiative to announce in the media that he was jumping out of his contract and leaving the Cavaliers to join the Heat. This was undoubtedly a treasonous move against Tiangang for the team owner.

With such a big thing happening, league officials naturally have to carefully consider the selection of the regular season MVP and adjust the announcement time of the regular season MVP.

Of course, the three regular season MVP candidates this season are all very successful, and they all reached the conference finals.

However, for most fans, it is not an unexpected secret who will win this year's regular season MVP.

In Barkley's words: "Dunn led a group of rookies to achieve the best record in the Eastern Conference. If he is not the MVP, who deserves the MVP?"

When the league officially announced the answer on the evening of the 13th, it was indeed as everyone expected.

The league's official staff came to the Chicago United Center, and Duan dressed up to attend the regular season MVP award ceremony and press conference.

It is worth mentioning that there were 118 judges participating in the regular season MVP selection this season, and Duane received 116 first-choice votes.

In other words, Duane is only two votes away from becoming the unprecedented unanimous MVP.

It's a pity that these two votes were given to Kobe and Wade respectively.

One is the boss of the defending champion team, and the other is the head coach of the Big Three. Their statistics and team leadership performance are indeed very good, so it is not surprising that they won the first choice vote for MVP.

However, this season, Duen led a rebuilt team to the first place in the Eastern Conference, and also won the scoring title. His other statistics are also very comprehensive, which makes Duen even more remarkable.

Moreover, comparing James' record in the previous two years, Duan should have won the third regular season MVP long ago.

The vast majority of the judges knew that Duen not only met the requirements of MVP in terms of statistics, but also in terms of record, honor, and strength.

Therefore, there is no reason to give up the regular season MVP to others this season, even if the NBA is a Negro League.

By the way, after Duan won the regular season MVP, not only the Chicago fans were happy for Duan, but also the outside media seemed to be excited.

Overnight, hundreds of large and small media across the United States rushed to report on Duan, and some media focused on the upcoming Eastern Conference Finals.

Even though the Bulls' next match was the Heat, which easily defeated the Celtics 4-2 with the Big Three configuration, many media still believed that Dunn had the opportunity to create a miracle and lead the Bulls to the finals.

Many media compared Jordan with Dunn, saying that after Jordan returned to the NBA, it only took him a year and a half to win the championship again.

Although Dune did not retire after winning four consecutive championships, but chose to rebuild. However, he reached the Eastern Conference Finals last year. It is time for him to return to the finals stage this year and win the championship in a very short time like Jordan.

Although Jordan has retired, the legend of Jordan is still everywhere in the NBA. Coupled with basketball, anything involving Jordan will get a lot of traffic.

At this moment, Du En is also a giant with its own traffic.

Whenever someone uses Duan and Jordan to create a topic, the number of people who get wind of it will definitely not be less.

For a time, this year's Eastern Conference Finals attracted far more attention than in previous years.

When G1 of the Eastern Conference Finals started, the enthusiasm of the American audience was suddenly ignited.

It's a pity that the Heat are equipped with the Big Three after all.

Although the Bulls' rookies performed well in the first two rounds, it was really not enough to meet the Heat's Big Three who were at their peak, plus a group of veterans who were going crazy for championship rings.

As for Dunn, the new regular season MVP, he also met James, the previous regular season MVP.

Perhaps influenced by the outside media, James tried his best to defend Duen. Even if he didn't take action himself, he still had to limit Duen's scoring.

Perhaps the league officials have already stated that they will not interfere in the game at will.

Therefore, when the game officially started, James was immediately entangled with death.

In terms of physical talent, James is indeed at a historical level, and when James puts all his efforts and even uses dangerous and dirty moves to defend, few people in the league can remain unaffected.

No matter how good Du En's physical fitness is, even if he wears a breastplate, he still needs to adapt to the intensity of defense.

Of course, after the start of G1, the defensive scale was tested, and the Bulls quickly increased their defensive intensity.

In general, the Bulls and Heat made great defensive moves, but the referees were basically even-handed and didn't blow the whistle much.

In the first two rounds of the playoffs, the Heat's Big Three averaged more than 25 free throws per game. Don't let the star whistles be too obvious. But in the Eastern Conference Finals, even though Wade kept holding the ball and getting inside, the number of free throws in a single game was only in single digits.

The same goes for James. Stern had already criticized James for bringing his talents to the South Coast. In this Eastern Conference finals, Stern had no intention of specifically helping.

However, later in the series, Stern made an exception.

Unlike usual, the referee did not help James or the Heat, but chose to help the Bulls and help Duane.

This is mainly because the Heat, who have a clear division of labor and want to win, are really fierce.

Wade completely penetrated the Bulls' defense in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Whether it was Evans, who relied on talent to defend, or Bradley, who relied on skills and experience to defend, Wade was able to handle them easily, over and over again.

The Bulls also tried to use George to lead Wade, but Wade easily passed him.

As for the Bulls' interior, Ibaka and Milicic have good size and athletic ability, but they just can't deal with Wade.

To be honest, even if Duen were to defend him against Wade at his peak, he would not be able to defend him every round.

If the Bulls want to limit Wade's scoring, they can only attack in advance.

But the problem is that Wade can't pass the ball, and the Heat are still equipped with the Big Three.

To put it bluntly, no matter whether Wade was the boss or the second boss in his peak period, as long as he teamed up with other stars, there would be no solution.

Wade's game is very simple, pick and roll, break points, or directly put the ball into the basket, or help his teammates score easier goals.

It was this point that Wade couldn't handle, and the Bulls could only be beaten passively.

Throughout the series, Wade played extremely efficiently. Even without the star whistle in the past, he still averaged 29.2 points per game.

In addition, Wade also has 6.9 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 2.0 steals and 0.7 blocks.

In the Heat, in addition to Wade, who performed brilliantly, Bosh, who followed closely behind, also scored 21.4 points, 9.7 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks, making him the second leader of the championship team.

As for James, his offensive data is indeed not very good, but his defensive performance is quite good.

整体打出了12.6分6.8篮板3.2助攻1.8抢断1.8盖帽的数据，因为确实没占用多少球权，整体45.2%的命中率也不算太差，倒也算得上是攻防一体。

After all, James is facing off against Duane. From the fact that James averaged 25+ points per game in the first two rounds, it can be seen that James is not without scoring ability.

He just made sacrifices in this Eastern Conference finals and used defense to help the Heat establish a winning advantage.

Du En was indeed stalked by James and consumed a lot of energy.

最终在数据上，也就比韦德好了那么一点，只有32.4分7.5篮板5.0助攻2.5抢断2.0盖帽而已。

The scoring data looked good, but it was because in the next two games, the league saw that the Bulls couldn't handle it anymore. For the sake of ratings, the league gave Duan a separate star whistle.

Otherwise, in this series, Duan's scoring average should be less than 30 points per game.

But even so, the Bulls only won one more game than normal. In the end, they were defeated by the Heat 2-4, and their playoff journey once again stopped in the Eastern Conference Finals.

By the way, after losing in G6 of the Eastern Conference Finals, Curry, Harden and others all looked gloomy, as if they could cry at any time.

The Bulls also stopped in the Eastern Conference Finals last year, but at that time Ben Gordon and Josh Smith were standing in front of the media and cameras. As substitutes and rookies, they didn't have much emotion.

But this year, as the main force of the team, he participated in every game of the playoffs, until he faced the overwhelming aggression and pressure of the Heat's three giants in the Eastern Conference finals.

They also knew that their lack of ability on both offense and defense was holding Duan back, preventing the Bulls from making further progress.

They even had a premonition that the Heat might step on them and win this year's championship.

However, as one of the losers, Du En was not willing to just do this as a stepping stone.

At the end of the game, Dunn generously hugged and talked to Wade, Bosh, and James, encouraging them to compete for the championship.

After the game, Duane praised Wade and the other Heat Big Three.

"You know, Dwyane is my brother and this guy is incredible.

I personally think he is Jordan who is five centimeters shorter!

He has already achieved success in the league. He was assisted by Shaq before, and this time it is LeBron and Chris.

LeBron is more talented and defensive than Scottie, and I believe he can assist Dwyane in winning many championships.

Chris has more offensive skills than Dennis, and Chris can do more for the team.

You should have heard that they not only want to win 6 championships, I believe they have the opportunity to become the greatest trio in NBA history! "(End of chapter)
