"Wonderful game, congratulations to you, this season is your season again." Paul Westphal congratulated Jiang Dongbing in a very graceful manner.

This game was certainly not exciting for the SuperSonics, who were beaten quite miserably, but for the Grizzlies, it was a very exciting series.

"Thank you, Paul, your strength is also impressive." Jiang Dongbing originally wanted to have a business exchange, but after he said these words, he suddenly felt that it was not the same. Instead, it sounded like he was teasing the Supersonics.

Westphal didn't think much, waved his hand and said: "There is still a huge gap between us and the Grizzlies."

"Congratulations in advance on winning this year's championship, and congratulations in advance on winning this year's Coach of the Year award."

Jiang Dongbing could only express his gratitude, and then returned to the locker room with the Grizzlies generals.

There was also no suspense in the first round of the playoffs between the Lakers and the Timberwolves. The young Garnett was not able to lead the Timberwolves to defeat the Lakers.

The current Timberwolves are not complete. Apart from Garnett, there is only one Szczerbiak in their lineup, and their overall strength is far inferior to that of the three-headed wolves.

However, being able to reach the playoffs with such a lineup is actually enough to prove Garnett's ability. The Timberwolves signed Garnett with such a high salary, and it's not just out of their minds. It's because Garnett really has this ability.

value.

The first-round showdown between the Trail Blazers and the Suns turned out to be somewhat unexpected. Everyone originally thought that the Trail Blazers would sweep the Suns lightly, but as a result, the two teams actually played five full games. It was quite difficult for the Trail Blazers to win.

, almost defeated by the Suns.

The showdown between the Jazz and the Spurs looks like a match between two nursing homes. The average age of the players on both sides is the largest in the league.

In the end, the Jazz won the series with a big score of 3:1 and got a chance to advance.

The Spurs' strength is now at least one level lower than last season. Elliott was reimbursed in the first half of the regular season, and young general Avery Johnson was reimbursed in the second half of the regular season. They directly lost two of the team's main outside players, even if

Popovich has great abilities, but he is also a clever woman who cannot make a meal without rice, so she can only suffer from the Jazz's crotch.

Since then, the four teams in the Western Conference semifinals have been announced, namely the Grizzlies, Lakers, Trail Blazers and Jazz, which are the top four teams in the Western Conference regular season. There have not been any upsets.

Against an experienced team like the Jazz, Jiang Dongbing didn't take it too seriously. The experience also meant that the Jazz players were older. In the fierce playoffs, it was difficult for them to maintain their best performance for a long time.

state.

The Jazz's lineup has almost no changes from last season. If there is any change, it may be that the tactics deployed by head coach Sloan have increased the proportion of three-point shots on the offensive end.

The original Jazz was undoubtedly one of the most traditional teams in the league? But with the rise of the Grizzlies, Sloan is not the kind of person who clings to the past, and the Jazz themselves have a good three-point lineup? Of course not.

Miss this last chance.

Can this season really be the Jazz's last ditch effort? If the Jazz still fail to win the championship this season, let's not talk about the Grizzlies in the future? Even the Lakers, who are becoming more and more mature, have absolutely no hope of defeating them.

Before the game, Jiang Dongbing also studied the Jazz's lineup. This year, in addition to the old trident, Sloan gave Brian Russell, a small forward, a high shot right.

This small forward has a three-point shooting percentage of about 40%? The offensive threat is still very high.

Is Hornacek a top three-point shooter? Stockton's three-pointer is not bad, which means that Sloan has created a top outside three-pointer lineup.

In addition, Sloan also placed many three-pointers on the bench.

Even without even having to play this game, Jiang Dongbing knew that this round could be said to be a three-point battle.

But just having good three-point accuracy doesn't actually bring victory to the team? If you want to win in the end, you still have to work hard on defense. Obviously the Grizzlies' defense is much better than that of the Jazz.

The Grizzlies easily won the first two home games of the Grizzlies, and beat the Jazz in both games by more than 20 points.

Brian Russell, the outside attack point that Sloan relied heavily on, was directly blocked by Jackson and Kirilenko. His three-point shooting percentage in the two games was even less than 30%.

This is the true intensity of the playoffs. Many players perform well in the regular season, but once they reach the playoffs, their true colors immediately appear. Some players have no sense of presence in the regular season, but they show off in the playoffs.

, players like the latter can often sign big contracts relying on their heroic performance in the playoffs.

After two games in the second round, the regular season honors were officially announced. There is no doubt that the Grizzlies will have another bumper harvest this season.

The Grizzlies won a lot of honors last season, but compared to this season, they pale into insignificance.

First of all, the honor of Coach of the Year was undoubtedly won by Jiang Dongbing. As a head coach who led the team to 80 wins in the season, if he does not win the Coach of the Year, then this award will not be available in the future.

It is necessary to issue it.

Since then, Jiang Dongbing has once again completed an amazing record, becoming the first head coach in NBA history to win the title of Coach of the Year!

Since the COY award began in 1962, no head coach of any team has won COY consecutively. Now that Jiang Dongbing has set this record, it will be the highlight of Jiang Dongbing's coaching career.

But don’t look at Jiang Dongbing’s COY victory now, but if he wants to win COY for the third time in a row, it is almost completely impossible, even if Jiang Dongbing leads the Grizzlies to maintain a complete victory next season and also win a complete victory in the playoffs.

The chances of winning the championship are slim.

Theoretically speaking, COY will not be re-elected, that is, the Grizzlies' record this year is too amazing, and it is unjustifiable not to give it to Jiang Dongbing, so this history-breaking thing happened.

In addition to Jiang Dongbing's COY, Jackson once again won the honor of regular season MVP this year. As the leader of the Grizzlies and the leader of a team that won 80 games in the regular season, no one would question Jackson's MVP award.

It is not uncommon in BA history to win consecutive regular season MVPs. King of the Rings Russell, Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Moses Malone, Big Bird, Magic, and Jordan have all won the honor of consecutive MVPs.

Now Jackson has squeezed his name into the queue of these historical superstars, and his career is already perfect.

However, like Jiang Dongbing, Jackson's chances of winning the regular season MVP for the third consecutive time are not great, unless he can have a blowout in terms of statistics next season.

Jackson's personal data is a flaw, mainly because he scores a little less. There is nothing that can be done about it. Jackson's potential is there. Even if he trains to the limit, his limit is just these scores. It is difficult to be like Jordan, who can score every season.

Both scored more than 35 points.

Now that he has won the regular season MVP, plus the previous All-Star MVP, as long as Jackson can win the Finals MVP this year, then he will truly have a Grand Slam this season. Judging from the current momentum, a Grand Slam will happen.

The probability is extremely high.

…

The best team can be said to be the most eye-catching award for a player group besides MVP. As a result, the Grizzlies were also eye-catching. Two people were selected for the first team.

Jackson and Billups once again proved their status in the league at their respective positions.

The selection of this best team is actually similar to the current All-Stars, which are divided into three positions, namely center, forward and guard.

David Taillon was successfully selected to the second team, confirming his position as the second center in the league.

O'Brien was selected to the third team and became one of the top forwards in the league.

A team has four players selected to the All-NBA team, which is another unprecedented feat. The Grizzlies have once again accomplished something unimaginable for other teams.

There are a total of three best lineups, that is, fifteen players, which roughly represents the fifteen strongest players in the league. Considering that there are now a total of twenty-nine teams in the league, it means that on average two teams can have one.

All-NBA player.

As a result, the Grizzlies occupied four spots as a team, which can clearly explain why the Grizzlies are so powerful.

The best defensive player is DPOY. This time it was finally won by David. Last season's DPOY was Mourning. This season David's defensive performance in all aspects was obviously better than Mourning. In the end, he won the selection.

He defeated Mourning with a relatively slight advantage and won the first valuable solo honor in his career.

There were two All-Defensive teams, and the Grizzlies also won a big victory. Jackson and David were selected to the first team, and Billups and Artest were selected to the second team.

Although Artest was suspended, the suspension was at the end of the season, so it did not affect his participation in the selection of these honors.

It may be because of the suspension. Otherwise, with Artest's defensive level, he may not be able to enter the defensive first team.

The two guards on the defensive team this year are Kobe and Payton. Jiang Dongbing doesn’t think Artest’s current defense will be worse than that of Kobe or Payton.

There are a total of ten players in the All-Defensive Team, and the Grizzlies got four more players selected, which shows how terrifying this Grizzlies defense is.

DPOY got it, two defensive first teams, two defensive second teams, it is not an exaggeration to say that such a defensive lineup is the strongest in NBA history.

In addition, David also won the Most Improved Player Award. Generally, this award does not attract much attention, but this award is enough to prove David's transformation and progress since this season. Compared with David during the Clippers period, he is completely different.

people.

Now the Clippers owner Sterling is probably regretting it. If he had known that David was so powerful, let alone Brad Miller, even if the Grizzlies had more chips, he would definitely not do this.

transaction.

After Miller arrived with the Clippers, it can't be said that he played poorly. He averaged 17 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists per game, which was not bad by any means. However, he couldn't produce a chemical reaction with Ricky Davis. The two players worked hand in hand.

Coupled with Uncle Bao, the result was only ninth place in the Western Conference.

But Sterling is also open-minded, and he also knows very well that if David is really allowed to stay with the Clippers, David will definitely not be able to perform like this. Jiang Dongbing is still amazing enough, and other head coaches may not be able to do so.

Such ability.

The Rookie of the Year award is shared by Francis of the Rockets and Brand, the top pick of the Bulls. Since most of the Grizzlies' rookies this year are on the bench, they will definitely not be able to compare with these two in terms of statistics.

However, they didn't win the Rookie of the Year. All the rookies the Grizzlies got this year were selected to the All-Rookie Team, and they were all rookies.

In addition to being named the Rookie of the Year, Ginobili also won the honor of Sixth Man of the Year, which is even more valuable than the Rookie of the Year.

In terms of statistics, Ginobili's statistics are actually worse than those of his competitor Rodney Rogers. Under normal circumstances, Rogers of the Suns wins the Sixth Man of the Year award with an average of 13.5 points per game.

Although Ginobili's scoring was not as good as Rogers', his shooting percentage was much better than Rogers'. In addition, the Grizzlies' horrific record was also a bonus. In the end, Ginobili rewrote history and took the shot from Rogers.

Stealing the honor of SMOY.

What is a super harvest? The Grizzlies have truly had a super harvest this season, truly achieving half of their regular season honors.

It's not even appropriate to say that half of the team is in the league. The Grizzlies took almost all the valuable honors.

After receiving so many honors, Jiang Dongbing was certainly happy, but he was also a little panicked. The strength of the Grizzly Bear had reached its limit, and Jiang Dongbing knew better than anyone else that prosperity must inevitably decline.

In the third game of the second round of the playoffs, the Jazz's home court, in everyone's opinion, the outcome of this game will definitely be that the Grizzlies continue to defeat the Jazz without any blood.

In fact, the result of the game was indeed the same, but the injury of a Grizzlies player directly added countless suspense to this year's championship game.

David was injured, and the Grizzlies' center was actually injured.

In the defensive round of the second half, David defended Malone who was breaking through with the ball. When he fell, he stepped on Malone's feet and left the field injured.

Jiang Dongbing sat on the sidelines and watched it clearly. Malone was really not to blame for this goal. He did not step in maliciously.

The importance of David is self-evident. This is Jiang Dongbing's weapon specially used to limit O'Neal. But now he is injured. Not to mention the outside world, even Jiang Dongbing himself is a little panicked.

Without David, will the Grizzlies still have such a big advantage against the Lakers? Obviously not.

The only thing Jiang Dongbing can do now is to pray that David's injury is not serious and will not affect the next game against the Lakers. As for this series with the Jazz, it actually doesn't matter whether there is David or not. The Grizzlies can still sweep the Jazz.

Promotion.

After the game, the team doctor's examination results were not optimistic. David would have to rest for at least half a month!
Chapter completed!
