Standing pretty old

Chapter 866 Awards Announced, Western Conference Finals Begin

The regional finals are just around the corner, and the individual and collective awards for the 12-13 season have also been announced.

Rookie of the Year Award was awarded to Damian Lillard of the Portland Trail Blazers.

With an average of 19.0 points, 6.1 assists and 3.0 rebounds per game, he is indeed the best performer among the current rookies.

However, his offensive efficiency is only average, and his average shooting rate of about 42% per game is far from efficient.

In a vertical comparison with previous years, Lillard's performance is not amazing.

The position of the best sixth man was won by JR* Smith. For this award, the only competitor with Smith is Isaiah Thomas of the Clippers.

Under the Clippers system, Jr. is now averaging 14.9 points, 6.3 assists, and 1.1 rebounds per game.

It is a pity that JR* Smith in the contract year is so fierce. As the sixth man of the Knicks, Smith averaged 18.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 2.7 assists per game. Performance is indeed better than the little assassin.

In the selection of the Most Improved Player, Kawhi Leonard of the Clippers also suffered a narrow defeat.

Kawhi, who averaged 15.8 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 3.6 assists per game this season, lost to the Pacers' Paojiao.

Paul George's personal data is 17.6 points, 7.4 rebounds, 4.1 assists per game, and his 41.9% shooting rate is actually far lower than Kawhi's 50%. From the perspective of offensive efficiency, Kawhi's performance is undoubtedly better .

But Pickle is now the face of the Pacers, and the transformation from a role player to a head player is enough to help Pickle win this year's MIP.

ROY, SMOP, and MIP are all attributable, and the next award to be announced is naturally COY.

Ruan Erniu had won the best coach last year, but his record of 74 victories and 37 consecutive victories still gave him a good chance to win this award again. Following his mentor Mike Woodson, he became the second head coach of COY in league history.

Then a controversial scene occurred.

COACH-R failed to accomplish this feat, because the league announced that the voting results showed that the best head coach belonged to the Nuggets' George Karl.

It's surprising, but it doesn't make sense to say it.

After all, it dragged the Nuggets team, which was predicted by various media in the summer, to the fourth place in the Western Conference. Judging from the shabby lineup of the Nuggets, George Karl won this award. It is also well deserved.

It is a lie for Er Niu to say that he has no regrets, but the alliance must consider the issue of benefit distribution.

If all the awards were given to one family, then others would not be able to play, especially now that the whole world knew that Ruan Erniu was going to win the MVP again.

MVP is the last award to be awarded. Prior to this, the Los Angeles Clippers, who had already kneeled three times in a row, finally ushered in their first season individual award - D-POY.

Ruan Erniu won the fourth D-POY of his career with unanimous votes, tying Ben Wallace's 4 times, and officially became the player who won the best defensive player in league history and tied for the first place.

To paraphrase a famous saying of Ah Fa's father-in-law: "Actually, I am not the one who will get this award, who else will get it?"

Relying on his unique rebounding ability, plus his strong performance in various defensive statistics such as steals and blocks, Ruan Erniu finally won his fourth D-POY trophy in his career.

In an interview, Ruan Erniu sincerely opened a joke and said: "Thanks to those teammates who missed people on the court, I will not name them specifically, you know, you always have to help defend in a large area, and the defensive data will not be too big. Difference."

After the announcement of the best defensive player, the most suspenseful award of the year, that is, the results of the selection of the most valuable player were finally announced.

At the MVP press conference, Manniu already had to rely on his assistant to help carry the Podolov Cup.

In addition to the previous three MVP trophies, Ruan Erniu has also won the MVP trophy for the fourth time in his career, and it is also the second consecutive MVP trophy in his career.

Four MVP trophies have brought the two bulls one step closer to the legend. In front of the bulls, there are only Michael Jordan and Bill Russell who have won 5 times, and Kareem Kareem who has won 6 times.

Ruan Erniu, who was already familiar with attending the MVP press conference, thanked all those who should be thanked, and said at the end of the press conference: "With such a group of outstanding teammates, I think I can win a few more MVPs!"

The speeches made countless people despair, and James was the most injured among them. The Chosen One felt that he might continue to accompany him.

It must be unfortunate to be in the same era as a guy like Kraft Nguyen.

Not getting the MVP is bad enough. Once the Heat meet the Clippers again in the finals, there is still a high probability that they will be defeated. This is a complete tragedy.

Well, Elgin Baylor is smiling and waving to LeBron James!
The individual awards were settled, and the Clippers, who were first depressed and then rose, won the D-POY and MVP trophies at the last moment. In terms of team awards, the Los Angeles people's winning route is roughly the same.

First the All-Rookie Team:
First round: Anthony Davis, Damian Lillard, Harris Barnes, Brad Beal, Dion West

Second Team: Andre Drummond, Michael Gilchrist, Kyle Singler, Jonas Valanciunas, Tyler Zeller
The only qualified player in the Clippers team is naturally chasing dreams. It's a pity that Green's importance to the Clippers cannot be fully reflected in statistics.

As a substitute on the 4th and 5th positions of the team, Green has completed the defense and certain support tasks very well, but the guy who voted with his feet will never see it, otherwise Tony Allen would not have ranked him several times. Not on the best defensive team, even if it is a second team.

The Clippers, who regrettably lost in the best rookie game, did not miss the best defensive team.

In terms of the best defensive first team, Tony Allen, Serge Ibaka, LeBron James, Chris Paul, Ruan Erniu, Tyson Chandler, and Joakim Noah were selected at the same time.

You read that right, defense for a while is worthless these days. What is the difference between being selected with 7 players and being dealt with cheaply?
The original intention of the alliance is to share the rain and the dew, but the result is neither fish nor fowl.

Wen Wu is the first, Wu Wu is the second, to put it more vulgarly, if the high-end cake is turned into a low-end big giveaway, the damage to the award itself will be too great.

In terms of the best defensive second team, Avery Bradley, Mike Conley, Tim Duncan, Marc Gasol, Paul George, and Kawhi Leonard were successfully selected.

Hey, if the best defensive team this year doesn't have a few substitutes, you're embarrassed to say hello.

Fortunately, in the selection of the best team, everything finally returned to normal.

Best team:
Ruan Erniu, Kevin Durant, LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, and Chris Paul were selected together.

There is one thing to say, although Kobe's defense has declined seriously, but in the second position, there is really no data better than him in the 12-13 season, including James Harden who has become the team leader.

Best Second Team:
Tim Duncan, Blake Griffin, Carmelo Anthony, Russell Westbrook, Tony Parker.

Basically, there is not much to question. Although Griffin's leadership performance is not outstanding, his style of play determines his superstar status.

Best three teams:
Dwight Howard, Marc Gasol, Paul George, James Harden, Dwyane Wade.

As soon as the third team came out, reporters from the San Francisco area immediately came out to complain. There is no reason for the Golden State Warriors, who have reached the top eight in the Western Conference, to not even get a spot.

According to objective analysis, the data of David Lee and Stephen Curry are not bad, but they are selectively forgotten!

After the cake is divided, the game continues.

Ruan Erniu led his team to usher in the San Antonio Spurs in G1 of the Western Conference Finals.

On May 2013, 5, US time, the Staples Center was full of hustle and bustle. When it came to the Western Conference Finals, many Hollywood stars came to the arena to watch the game.

Fans of Tianchao watched the live broadcast of the game through the TV lens, and the most eye-catching ones were the three beautiful daughters of a generation of action superstar, Sylvester Stallone.

Although many people expressed their willingness to become Stallone's son-in-law, the problem is that most of them don't even have the perseverance to learn English well.

The Spurs fielded little change in their starting lineup tonight:
C Thiago Split
PF Tim Duncan
SF Danny Green
SG Gary Neal
PG Tony Parker
The defending champions in the home game also did not come up with ingenious tricks, and the lineup remained the same:
C DeAndre Jordan
PF Ruan Erniu

SF Kawhi Leonard

SG JJ* Reddick

PG Chris Paul
DeAndre Jordan easily outscored Splitter in the scrimmage, and Paul sprinted into the half court after getting the ball.

Er Niu received the basketball at the top arc, Duncan hesitated for a moment, and Man Niu immediately chose to pull it out.

"brush!"

Man Niu is getting more and more comfortable bullying Deng Daidai now. As he gets older, even if Daidai chooses to lose weight, his speed will definitely decline, while Erniu is at his peak at this time.

On the offensive end of the Spurs, Parker held the ball across half court and chose to go straight to the basket after a high post and Duncan's pick-and-roll. Jordan Jr. emptied Splitter and rushed up. Although he did not directly block Parker, he still blocked the Gaul sports car. Projection route.

"boom!"

Parker hit the iron, and Erniu took advantage of the situation to get the backcourt rebound and sent a long pass, but Danny Green judged the path of the ball and intercepted the ball.

Duncan received a pass in the frontcourt, sent a support ball near the free throw line, and Gary Neal made a three-pointer from the bottom corner.

"brush!"

hit!

The two sides came and went in the first quarter of the game, and they blossomed on the offensive end, and each made achievements.

Not only did the starters perform well, but during the rotation time, the substitutes of the two teams also played equally well.

Here, Isaiah Thomas succeeded in attacking the basket in an instant, and Ginobili hit a three-pointer from the outside with a crooked shooting method.

Here Ray Allen made a three-pointer against the defender, and there Matt Bonner shot an ANSWER-BALL in the top arc, not to be outdone.

From the perspective of teleportation talent, the Clippers are undoubtedly better, but the Spurs just have a way to bite the score, making the game full of suspense.

At the end of the first quarter, at 31:32, the Clippers at home only led by one point, and did not establish a 10+ advantage in the first quarter as they did in the previous two rounds.

The playoffs are actually the same as Du Jie.

Every round, the opponents the team encounters will be stronger.

This strength is often not only in terms of strength, but also psychological factors.

For example, the Rockets positioned themselves as attackers when they met the Clippers; the Grizzlies were slightly better, but they also lacked the determination to win; the Spurs were different, they had the attitude of winning from the beginning of the game.

It can only be said that the core structure of GDP has remained unshakable for many years, and the Spurs, who are used to seeing strong winds and waves, have this confidence.

The second quarter started quickly, and it was still in the rotation time. This time, Boris Diaw of the Spurs stepped forward.

Brother Diao's body is already getting fatter now, but this guy who drags his slippers and drinks coffee and can defeat the top bully in the Suns' training is still a difficult guy.

At least rookie Draymond Green has been teased twice in a row, almost in exactly the same way.

Hit from the back, turn sideways, take a tentative step, feint, then take a tentative step, and make a move...

The dick with the floor is here to make trouble, and he really has a way to put the ball in the basket.

It is also a player whose data cannot reflect the value. Brother Diao's floor flow skills are indeed worth learning in pursuit of dreams.

Green, who was getting more and more anxious, also moved more on the defensive end. Thibodeau replaced Green in the subsequent official timeout and replaced him with Bulls.

Er Niu put his arms around Green's neck and said, "Calm down, now is not the time, understand?"

Would a smart person like the Celestial People not know about Green's major defensive problems?
Do not!
He knows it all!
But championship teams naturally need villains and scavengers.

From this point of view, Erniu has no reason to stop Green's large-scale actions. Controllable violations are definitely the team's weapon, but the premise is that it is controllable.

If it is not necessary to damage the immediate combat power, the gain will outweigh the loss.

Brother Diao has no temper with Green, but it doesn't mean he can take advantage of Er Niu. The 4th D-POY is not just talking about it.

Dior's steps are gorgeous, but he immediately looks clumsy when facing Erniu.

The Celestials first gave the Gauls a big hat on the defensive end, and then used their speed on the offensive end to continuously eat dicks and lose their temper.

Off the court, Green was immediately amused, shouting loudly while waving a towel to cheer for the team leader.

Ruan Erniu, who helped the little brother get back the field, then led the team to play a wave of 11:1 attacks, which established the G1 victory in the second quarter.

In the subsequent half of the game, the two sides maintained a high-intensity confrontation, but in the end the Los Angeles Clippers successfully won the game by virtue of the score advantage opened in the middle and late part of the second quarter.

105:112, the Clippers took the lead at home.

With 48 points, 19 rebounds, 4 blocks, 3 steals and 2 assists, Ruan Erniu is undoubtedly the MVP of the game.
Whether against Duncan or Dior, the Bulls have maintained an extremely strong ability to suppress.

Popovich has maintained multiple rotations from start to finish.

It's just that the boxing is afraid of being young. Facing a group of talented people like the bulls, the Spurs always give people a sense of powerlessness. This is not much different from the Thunder when they are healthy.
