595. James' ambition, brutal playoffs (13,000 words)(1/4)
After David Stern's voice came out of the TV, the lounge became quiet.
Then, everyone started cheering wildly!
Artest screamed excitedly: "I buy Ga or buy Ga, boss, you have really made three consecutive MVPs!"
Although everyone gathered, they were also discussing this matter.
But in fact, not many people think that Zhang Hao can complete the three consecutive MVPs.
That's too difficult, and it only happened three times in NBA history.
Chamberlain and Russell in the Ancient Basketball Era.
Modern basketball knows Bird.
No one else.
The Magician was originally possible, but in the 1987-88 season, the media cast MVP to Jordan, who had only 50 wins in the team, but did not win 62 wins in the team. Therefore, the Magician had MVP three times in four years, but failed to complete three consecutive MVPs.
Although the roar was lively this year, when Supersonic players were interviewed and asked about MVP, they all said that Zhang Hao was an MVP, but in fact no one had much hope, including Zhang Hao himself, even if it was operating hype, they thought that "the key is to participate."
At least it’s necessary to make people know how hard he has played this season and how good he has performed, right?
If Wang Po sells melons, then sells melons...
I actually got it!
The teammates saw Zhang Hao's expression of surprise on his face with wide eyes and quickly looked for the camera... As a result, Zhang Hao's expression returned to normal again, with a feeling of "I knew it would be like this"...
...
Garnett won the first Best Defensive Player Award in his career with 49 first votes and 31.9%. He finally can compete with Duncan in his personal regular season awards. Not counting as a playoff award, both of them have one-on-one defense best defensive player in the regular season.
When the two entered the NBA, there was Zhang Hao in the NBA. In this case, these are the biggest awards that the two can win.
But tonight, no one cares about this...
Zhang Hao surpassed Larry Bird and the Magic, tied with Jordan and Chamberlain, and tied for third place in history with 4 regular season MVPs, tied for third place in history. There were only Russell's 5 regular season MVPs and Jabbar's 6 regular season MVPs!
Zhang Hao got 52 of the 125 first votes, less than Nash's 71, and two first votes were obtained by two No. 21 respectively.
This year, it can be said that the two of them have been in the best form since the NBA on the 21st, but it has become the most tragic background.
Although Zhang Hao lost the first vote than Nash, Zhang Hao got 73 votes in the second vote!
That is, 125 voters voted for Zhang Hao, and they were either the first or the second vote!
Nash only got 19 second votes, and 33 second votes were separated by Duncan, Garnett and Kobe.
The first vote is 10 points, the second vote is 7 points, the third vote is 5 points, the fourth vote is 3 points, and the fifth vote is 1 point.
Zhang Hao was 190 points behind Nash's first vote, and the second vote was 378 points more than Nash!
Although Nash scored a total of 123 points in the third and fourth votes, Zhang Hao still beat Nash's 966 points with a total score of 1,031 points, winning the 2003-2004 regular season MVP!
This news caused a sensation in the basketball world!
Today, when basketball's influence is increasing day by day, it is not just the basketball world, but the entire sports world's attention is focused on Zhang Hao.
In the sports industry, the more powerful it is, the fewer people can do it.
The NBA has truly become a great major league. It is recognized that the NBA merged the ABA in 1976, and the number of teams was enough. The top basketball players across the United States gathered together, and it was called the modern basketball era.
In the modern basketball era, only Larry Bird was able to complete three consecutive MVPs.
Now, Zhang Hao has accomplished this great achievement!
...
...
"After waiting for a long time, I knew it would be him. It was too lonely for me to stay in this position alone. Unfortunately, the Lakers delayed his growth. Now, he has finally done what he should do...
That's right, that's what he should do. I know his feelings very well. It's not very special for him to get a three-game MVP. It's not so exciting for me and him."
Originally, the reporter wanted to stimulate the big bird, but the big bird began to show off again, and was pretended to be the big bird!
MVP-level superstars who are playing in the playoffs cannot be avoided. There have been reporters who have been squatting at the locations of these superstars and have been ready. When the award is announced, different questions will be immediately asked according to the results.
Nash was shaking his hands during an interview. Can he be snatched away from the MVP?
"...He deserves the MVP, but I think I deserve it this year, and I will definitely get it next time!"
Nash had no choice. First, he recognized Zhang Hao's strength, and finally made a harsh statement and ended the interview.
Duncan praised in an interview, Garnett and Kobe refused to be interviewed, and McGrady said that there are always people who are special...
Garnett, who had already advanced to the second round, was really angry. He won the best defensive player. As a result, Zhang Hao had three consecutive MVPs, and he, the best defensive player, had no presence at all.
The MVP-level superstars in the East have a very perfunctory attitude, and Nash is generally more perfunctory, because they are now in the most tragic first-round matchup in history!
Nash was very sad and angry, but he could only put aside these negative emotions. Otherwise, it would be possible to be blacklisted by the Bucks, who won 51 in the first round, which is a real shame that it is right that he did not get the MVP.
The media and fans, when it comes to the playoffs, they don’t pay much attention to the 50-win team, unless there are balloon stars on this team.
Like the Hawks, a few years ago, they won 50 years and played until the second round, but no one paid attention to them. The Hawks themselves couldn't stand it and chose to rebuild. Finally, they found that it was very difficult to rebuild a 50-win team.
In fact, even in the team history, I have never won 50 wins.
If you can win 50, it is actually very different. At the very least, it has reached the lower limit of strength with the top strong teams!
There are indeed teams with early 50 wins and teams with early 60 wins and teams with top 50 wins and there are also teams with top 50 wins and counterattacks. Both are extreme. In most cases, teams with top 60 wins and teams with their strength advantage steadily defeated teams with top 50 wins and the big scores will not be particularly disparity.
The Pistons are now in a situation and have always had strength advantages, but the teams in the lower half of the Eastern Conference are very different from those in the lower half of the Western Conference. The Bucks are ready to make a counterattack at any time. If the Pistons are careless and underestimate the enemy, if they do not do well in handling key balls, they are likely to be defeated by the Bucks.
The Bucks are eighth in the Eastern Conference. Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes, just do it.
On the contrary, as the league's number one, the Pistons are under greater pressure without performing a crushing performance.
However, Nash has also seen big scenes. He has played in the Finals twice and has rich experience in the playoffs!
Just like G1 almost opened, Nash thought of a way to complete the reversal when D'Antoni adjusted his ability on the spot. Now, Nash has also put away his grief and anger at not getting the MVP, turning this grief and anger into motivation!
In the evening, Nash scored 19 points and 12 assists in the battle with the Bucks, leading the Pistons to steadily defeat the Bucks 114-101, and tied the score 3-2 to get the match point!
...
Zhang Hao watched the live broadcast of the game between the Pistons and the Bucks, and also watched some comments and analysis... He remembered that the media had a lot of differences in his opinion about Nash who ran and ran.
Zhang Hao can understand the difference. Unlike in the original time and space, Nash here led the team to the finals early.
So even the Pistons, which played the run and bomb, was the most popular favorite to win the championship in the playoffs.
The Pistons have taken the initiative and won one of the remaining two games. Unless they are particularly unlucky, they will be able to advance after winning the Battle of Tianwang Mountain.
As the number one in the Eastern Conference, the Pistons played so hard that the other three sets of series were naturally not much better.
After the Pistons and Bucks, the battle between the Bulls and the Sixers started.
This year's playoffs, Sports Illustrated's comments on the playoffs gathered in the 95 generation's essence.
Among them, the series of Bulls and 76ers is the essence of the essence.
Iverson, Raheem, Duncan, McGrady, the 1996th and 1997th two No. 1 picks and 1997th three-times are competing in the same field, as well as Ben Wallace, the super defensive master who lost the 1996th, and Van Horn...
Moreover, the two teams have good lineups this season, with enough substitutes, strong strength, and willing to accommodate each other and cooperate tacitly.
For the 76ers, Duncan and Iverson both took the initiative to sacrifice their shooting rights and data to make Raheem play better, which is to deal with the Bulls.
Kobe's playing style is characterized by Duncan. Kobe may not be as strong as Duncan, but the two compete in the same game. Kobe almost always collapsed the defensive system built around Duncan, and Duncan could not respond on the offensive end.
At this time, Rahim came. Rahim played as power forward. Duncan returned to the basket, Duncan protected the rim, and Rahim came to assist in defense... When playing as a small forward, Rahim was well-off in defense, but when he arrived at the power forward position, his defense was really good, his movement speed was enough, his defense was enough, and his body was also very good...
In the eyes of both teams, they are the opponent's biggest opponents in the East, and they have been trying to improve themselves and can suppress the opponent.
The Bulls are jealous of Ben Wallace, and are also looking forward to Ben Wallace's supplementary defense and assisting defense to put greater restrictions on Iverson.
In their perception, if the 76ers' role player lineup had not been aging last season and fell into a salary crisis, if it weren't for the Bulls' internal strife, how could the Nets be the turn to enter the Finals?
But after an offseason, the East now forces the two teams to meet in the first round.
In previous years, the 76ers played against the Bulls. Even if the Bulls were obviously at a disadvantage, the 76ers were not easy to play, because no one could compete with Kobe.
When the two teams performed comparable in regular season, in the playoffs, the 76ers were basically suppressed by the Bulls.
But now, Rahim joins, and this is there!
In terms of strength, Rahim is definitely not as good as Kobe, and Rahim has a much more single function.
But that's exactly what the Sixers need to deal with the Bulls.
This time, the 76ers challenged the Bulls' Tianwang Mountain game away. With Duncan's 14 points, 16 rebounds and 6 blocks, they competed with Ben Wallace's 11 points, 15 rebounds, 3 steals and 3 blocks; with Iverson's 21 points, 7 assists, Raheem's 26 points, 10 rebounds, and Van Horn's 11 points, Snow's 7 points, 5 assists, and a combination of Plan B...
After 2 hours and 26 minutes of the game, the 76ers defeated the Bulls 99-91 away, won the Battle of Tianwangshan away, and took the home advantage!
...
The Heat and the Cavaliers are of the same strength, but the Heat will always handle key balls better.
Talent appears in Wade!
This season's regular season, Wade averaged 14 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists per game, which was quite outstanding, competing for the Rookie of the Month with Bosh and Hinrich in the Eastern Conference.
Although his strength is not very strong, the difference between genius and ordinary players can already be reflected in Wade. Not to mention ordinary players, even his teammates, like Eddie Jones and Malone, are not as capable of finding opportunities at critical moments.
To be continued...
