NBA: James wants to team up with me

Chapter 237: The second regular season MVP in his career, infinitely close to unanimous votes!

It's a pity that things like pot are usually placed directly on your head, without asking whether you are willing or not, and whether you are wronged or not.

Ray Allen has to take the blame, but he has to take it. He can't let James, who averages 38+8+8 per game, take the blame.

On the other hand, Mo Williams is the most reasonable person to take the blame for. His reputation is well-deserved. When his shooting percentage is only 37%, this guy doesn't pass the ball. His average of 16 shots per game is second only to the Cavaliers. James's, although his scoring average is well-deserved second in the Cavaliers, his efficiency is too low.

No matter how the pot-sharing conference goes, it has become an established fact that the Cavaliers were defeated by the Magic. It is still far away when James can win the championship.

If stopping in the second round of the playoffs caused 10,000 points of critical damage to James, then the subsequent announcement of the voting results for the regular season MVP by the league was undoubtedly an inhumane act of last-minute damage.

There is no suspense. Wang Chong was elected as the Most Valuable Player of the 38-2008 regular season with 09% of the votes. His first choice rate was as high as 99%, which was infinitely close to being unanimously elected. Only a few people voted for James as their first choice. .

James, who monopolized most of the second-place votes, ended up in second place with 21% of the vote, Kobe ranked third with 18%, and the fourth MVP was Wade with 17%.

The above four people captured more than 90% of the votes.

Although it had been clear before that the regular season MVP this season was most likely Wang Chong, who led the team to a record of 73 wins and 9 losses, but when the results were announced, I couldn't help but feel a sense of loss, especially after being defeated by the Cavaliers. The moment shortly after the Magic were eliminated was heartbreaking.

This means that in circles, James will usher in another fruitless season.

In addition to the announcement of the regular season MVP, the league also announced the results of other season awards.

Howard was undoubtedly elected as the Defensive Player of the Year and has a high probability of monopolizing this award in the next two years.

The Best Sixth Man Award was won by Jason Terry of the Dallas Mavericks. He averaged 19.6 points per game this season, which is higher than most starting players in the league.

The Most Improved Player Award was awarded to Danny Granger of the Pacers. He averaged 25.8 points per game this season, ranking seventh in the scoring list, which is surprising.

The Rookie of the Year is No. 1 pick Derrick Rose.

被尼克斯选中的罗斯在这支联盟垫底球队展现出了极强的个人能力,场均数据达到了19分4篮板7助攻,远比他原本在公牛队当选最佳新秀时候的16.8分3.9篮板6.3助攻要高。

As for the Best Coach Award, the winner is Cavaliers head coach Mike Brown.

In fact, if you look at the performance of the team, Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau led the team to the best record in history of 73 wins and 9 losses, and is more suitable for the best coach award than Mike Brown.

It’s just that there are very few cases of consecutive best coaches in NBA history. Thibodeau was already elected as the best coach last season. Even with a record of 73 wins and 9 losses this time, he still failed to achieve consecutive best coaches.

After the season awards are announced one after another, the focus of the league is the Eastern and Western Conference finals.

The showdown in the Eastern Conference finals is Bulls vs. Magic.

The Western Conference Finals is the Lakers vs. Mavericks.

The two matchups in the Western Conference in the second round are the Lakers vs. Rockets and the Mavericks vs. Spurs.

In the original 08-09 season, there was a duel between these two groups. The result was that the Mavericks swept the Spurs 4:1, and the Lakers and Rockets struggled to win after seven games.

The Mavericks and Spurs, who were supposed to meet in the first round, met in the second round this time. The situation did not change much. The Mavericks still won easily.

The duel between the Lakers and Rockets was not as intense as it originally was.

No way, Artest, who was supposed to be with the Rockets and steadily contributed 15.6 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists in the series, went directly to the opposite Lakers. The strength of the two teams waxed and waned. How could the matchup be as evenly matched as it was?

The score between the Lakers and Rockets was fixed at 4:2, but the good news is that the games between the two teams were not so close and intense. Dayao was not injured due to playing too hard, and actually played all 6 games. Averaged 21 points and 11 rebounds.

Wang Chong also didn't expect that Dayao didn't miss the playoffs. This should have directly affected Dayao's career, making it difficult for him to come back later, and he finally had no choice but to retire. The injury was perfectly avoided.

Injury originally involves a lot of luck. It doesn't mean that you will definitely get injured if you have to do it again.

This may be great news for Dayao and even Chinese basketball, because as long as Dayao can stay healthy, he has a good chance of playing in the 2012 London Olympics.

After all, in 2012, Yao was just 31 years old and in his prime as a basketball player.

Of course, Dayao's injury itself is a high probability event. The excessive weight puts too much burden on his ankles. At the same time, the high-intensity NBA games are also constantly consuming his already weak body.

It is only possible for Dayao to play in the 12 London Olympics. Maybe Dayao will suffer more serious injuries next season than the original 08-09 playoffs, so we can't have too much hope for this and just let it happen. good.

It's not that Wang Chong has never thought of giving Dayao some advice to reduce the possibility of injury, but by the same token, professional trainers and nutritionists definitely know more than Wang Chong.

But if Dayao wants to play a dominant enough performance in the league, his current weight is essential.

Many people believe that after Yao loses weight, he can imitate the playing style of Gasol or Nowitzki. With his height, technical level and shooting ability, he can definitely do it.

But this is just a theoretical inference. No one knows whether things will develop as smoothly as imagined, but it is an established fact that Dayao's dominance has reached its peak after gaining weight.

Moreover, even if he loses weight, it does not mean that Dayao will not be injured. Injuries are a matter of probability. If he does not gain weight but gets injured, some people will say that Dayao is too light to adapt to the NBA. Intense confrontation leads to injuries.

Therefore, Wang Chong actually can't give anyone any advice, just let nature take its course.

In the Western Conference Finals between the Lakers and the Mavericks, there is a high probability that there will be no suspense in the outcome. Although the Dallas Mavericks led by Nowitzki have always been one of the strong teams in the Western Conference, they are obviously not as powerful as the Lakers, who are currently the only team in the Western Conference. Still inferior.

Although the Eastern and Western Conference finals have not yet begun, in fact, there is basically no suspense in the finals showdown. Just like last season, it is still the Bulls vs. the Lakers.

Whether the Lakers can defeat the Bulls in the finals and avenge last season has become the final and biggest suspense of the 08-09 season.

Just as the major media predicted.

In the Western Conference, the Lakers did not put in much effort to deal with the Mavericks. With 4:1, the winner of the Western Conference finals was decided easily.

Kobe averaged 34 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists in the series, fully demonstrating the offensive firepower of the league's strongest shooting guard after Jordan.

Although Nowitzki, the core leader of the Mavericks, also averages 27 points and 9 rebounds per game, there is obviously a big gap in scoring with Kobe. Besides, Kobe is not the only one on the Lakers.

保罗.加索尔18分12篮板,奥多姆12分9篮板,拜纳姆8分7篮板。

The Lakers' three high-end players completely dominated the paint and outrebounded the Mavericks. The Lakers' victory over the Mavericks also gave local Los Angeles fans some confidence.

Many Lakers fans can't help but feel uneasy when they think that they will face the Bulls, who have a record of 73 wins and 9 losses in the regular season, in the finals.

But in fact, the Lakers' dominance this season is not much worse than that of the Bulls. The Lakers' regular season record is 65 wins and 17 losses, which is only 73 games behind the 8-win Bulls. Taking into account the difference in competitiveness between the East and the West, the record The gap may be even smaller.

Moreover, during the regular season, the Bulls and Lakers also tied at 1:1. The two teams really met in the finals, and the outcome was still uncertain.

The Western Conference finals will be decided quickly, and there is not much difference in the Eastern Conference finals.

The Magic are indeed one of the few in the Eastern Conference that can cause some trouble for the Bulls, but the real trouble they can create is actually very limited.

No matter how strong Howard is, he can't completely suppress Garnett. After all, Garnett is just old, not dead.

Not to mention Garnett of the Bulls, originally in the 08-09 season, the Big Three version of the Celtics met the Magic in the second round of the playoffs. At that time, Garnett was unable to play due to a season-ending injury, and the Magic Facing the lack of a superstar, the Celtics struggled hard and took seven games to win.

At that time, many people felt deeply regretful. If Garnett had stayed healthy, the Magic would never have been a match for the Celtics. After all, Garnett, as the absolute defensive core of the Celtics, had a very high tactical status, and his absence would not be good for the ball. The overall strength of the team has a huge impact.

The current Bulls team, not only is Garnett very healthy, but the overall strength without Garnett is also obviously stronger than the Celtics of the Big Three. Wang Chong alone can rival Pierce + Ray in terms of offensive firepower. Allen two people.

The result was that the Magic, like the Mavericks in the Western Conference, only won one game in the entire series. They were eliminated by the Bulls with a score of 1:4 and stopped in the Eastern Conference Finals.

The victory of this game is somewhat similar to the Bulls' loss to the Celtics in the second round. It was a game that the Bulls strategically gave up after they had already won two games and had an absolute advantage in order not to defeat their opponents. It's urgent.

Wang Chong attaches great importance to the championship in this playoffs. He knows better than anyone what a shame it is to be the runner-up with 73 wins. In order to ensure a stable championship, he will not allow any accidents to happen.

Regardless of whether his steady approach is effective, at least so far, the Bulls still maintain a fairly healthy state, with none of the main players injured and all players in full strength.

Entering the finals in this state, Wang Chong couldn't think of any possibility of losing to the Lakers.

Compared with the inside line, Garnett + Gasol + Millsap's inside line is not necessarily inferior to the three high inside lines of the Lakers.

Compared with the perimeter, the Bulls have Wang Chong and Billups on the perimeter, while the Lakers only have Kobe Bryant who can do it.

Even if his match-up ability is directly better than that of the team's core player, it is difficult for Kobe to surpass Wang Chong. In other words, many people have already believed that Wang Chong is stronger than Kobe in the previous confrontations, including in the Olympics. of.

With no advantage in all aspects, the finals have not yet begun, and many media have begun to badmouth the Lakers. The outside world generally believes that the winning rate between the Bulls and the Lakers is 73, and the Lakers only have a 3% chance of winning.

Including gambling companies, they also gave odds of 1 to 6, indicating that they are optimistic about the Bulls defending their title.

On June 2009, 6, the much-anticipated first game of the NBA Finals finally began.

The Bulls sit at home and wait for work to meet the challenge of the Lakers.

The first game of the finals is still in the trial stage, and the starting lineups sent by both teams are all regular starters.

For the Bulls, Billups, James Jones, Wang Chong, Garnett and Marc Gasol.

The Lakers' starting lineup is Fisher, Kobe Bryant, Artest, Pau Gasol and Bynum.

At the start of the game, the Bulls won a jump ball to start their offense.

After Billups dribbled the ball past half court, he passed the ball to Wang Chong immediately. Wang Chong received the ball without any ink. Facing Artest's defense, he directly forced a breakthrough and accelerated into the penalty area with the ball. Then, facing Pau Gasol's defense, he made a pull-up jump shot. Artest and Gasol attacked him one after another and hit the shot steadily.

The Bulls fans on the sidelines immediately cheered loudly.

The game has just begun, but Wang Chong is already on full fire, and his strong desire to attack can be seen.

The Bulls made a big move as soon as they came up. Although it was a bit unexpected by the Lakers, they still had to make moves.

The Lakers attacked, and Kobe used Gasol's pick-and-roll screen to catch and shoot from mid-range.

Tied at 2:2.

However, Wang Chong was determined to compete with Kobe on his personal ability. In the next round, he continued to attack with the ball and scored from behind in the mid-range.

4: 2.

Not to be outdone, Kobe broke through with the ball and caused a defensive foul on Gasol, making 2 of 2 free throws.

4: 4.

Most of the viewers in front of the TV looked at this scene and felt that it seemed familiar. The two teams seemed to have had this kind of situation in the previous matches. The two top scorers refused to give in to each other and directly Compete for scoring ability.

What was the result of that confrontation?

Some fans were trying to remember, and on the bench, Lakers head coach Phil Jackson's expression was already very serious.

Others may not remember it, but how could he not remember it as the head coach of the Lakers?

Kobe Bryant and Wang Chong basically never won against each other.

It's not that Kobe is not strong enough, it's just that Wang Chong is obviously better than Kobe in terms of offensive firepower and stability.

With a height of 2 meters, Wang Chong is destined to be easier to attack on the court than Kobe. What's more, even without the height of an inside center, Wang Chong's shooting is still the most accurate player in the league. Even if he doesn't add one or two words, it will be nothing. A sense of dissonance.

Phil Jackson has great trust in Kobe's personal abilities, but even so, he doesn't think there will be any good results from Kobe's split with Wang Chongbiao. (End of chapter)
