Chapter 300: Regret Defeat (1st Update)
The Magic's next opponent was nothing different from what was expected, and the Heat didn't cause any difficulties for the Celtics.
But at this time, the biggest awards of the year were announced.
In the 09-10 season, the score of the regular season MVP was announced, and LeBron James won by 6 points over Howard, who missed the MVP despite being in the first team and the best defensive team.
This time the voting score was close, James' advantage was very small, and Howard almost won the regular season MVP.
When interviewed, Howard was very calm:
"It was a disappointment for me to lose the MVP, I thought I could get it, whether it was in terms of team record, average per game or whatever, I did well enough."
"But I don't get upset because there's another MVP waiting for me."
These words were said by Howard after discussing with Qin Yang.
The regular season MVP has been decided, no matter how dissatisfied it is at this time, it is useless, and Howard's best option is to let go of this matter and then take revenge in the playoffs.
Otherwise, how could Howard have said such a thing.
Round 2:
In the East, the Magic play the Celtics and the Cavaliers play the Hawks.
In the West, the Lakers take on the Jazz and the Suns play against the Spurs.
The race hasn't started yet, and the warm-up has already begun.
Major media and experts began to evaluate the probability of each team's promotion, and the fans and melon-eating people were also very happy to watch.
Eastern.
The Magic team against the Celtics is recognized as a strong match, both teams are very strong, the Magic team has Howard and Qin Yang, Vince Carter is also in good shape, and the other players are not weak. However, the Celtics' big three are very strong, plus Rajon Rondo and Rasheed Wallace, and if the Celtics play well, it will not be a problem for them to win the championship.
In contrast, the game between the Cavaliers and the Hawks is simpler.
The Hawks are very strong, but compared to the Cavaliers, eighty percent will be eliminated, and the Hawks can't defend themselves with LeBron alone.
Westward.
The Lakers vs. the Jazz are not much of a problem. The Jazz are very strong, but compared to the Lakers' lineup, the Jazz's defeat will be expected. The three-high lineup, Artest, Kobe, this kind of lineup is simply desperate.
The Suns vs. the Spurs, there are a lot to watch.
The clash between two teams with very different styles, one is the team that leads the small-ball and bombardment tactics, and the other is the old powerhouse of the league who started with defense, and the clash between the two teams' style of play is very attractive.
But no matter which team it is, they were very calm before the game.
No one deliberately says anything, belittling opponents or anything like that, it's stupid to do that.
Even if there is a conflict on the field, after the game, he will smile and say that the things on the field can stay on the field, and it will not affect the friendship off the field, which is not necessarily true, but it is not false.
It's stupid to lead the battle before the game, unless you have a brain problem, or you have a grudge yourself.
The media deliberately misinterpreted the words of many stars to lead the war, and no one was fooled.
However, before the game, the Celtics really had someone to spray.
In an interview with the media, Rajon Rondo said:
"Celtic will win, and that Chinese is not a superstar at all, this series, I will let everyone know what his true strength really looks like!"
You say your team wins, that's fine, all the players say that.
But...... You say other people rubbish, who gave you the courage?
Liang Jingru?
Qin Yang also showed a trace of anger when he was interviewed, and said sarcastically:
"I expect him to show me the archetype, like defending me all over the court, and I can't ask for that, so I can try to shoot 100 threes and how many shots can I make?"
"By the way, is this going to be my new three-point record?"
Qin Yang had a needle hidden in his words.
Rajan Londo said that he would make Qin Yang show his original form, and Qin Yang sprayed directly, if you have the ability, you will defend me, and when the time comes, I will beat you out with a three-point shot.
is also a point guard, Rajon Rondo almost does not defend Qin Yang.
This is not surprising, Qin Yang's height is more than ten centimeters taller than La Jianlong, such a height difference, Qin Yang can calmly shoot three points, and there is almost no need to worry about being disturbed.
This season, all the teams that used point guards to defend Qin Yang died very miserably.
La Janelondo is no exception.
Therefore, Qin Yang dared to say this.
Real man, don't be cowardly!
Qin Yang's defense of Rajan Rondo is not false, but if Rajan Rondo defends Qin Yang, it will be blown up. This point is really not a long brain.
The point guard of the alliance, Qin Yang is not targeting anyone, it can only be said that everyone here is rubbish.
Born misplaced, that's how arrogant it is.
The pre-game turmoil between the Celtics and the Magic team attracted a lot of fans, and in this case, on May 1, Amway Arena, the first playoff game of the second round, the Magic team hosted the Celtics.
In this game, the pressure on Celtic is high.
The Magic team is difficult to deal with, and it is a well-known fact that the Celtic Big Three are older and not as dominant as before, and it is difficult to play against the Magic.
In fact, Celtic's dominance this season has been mediocre.
In the first ball, Qin Yang broke through directly with the help of cover, pulled Jian Rondo to assist in the defense, and Kevin Garnett and defended it, but it didn't work. Qin Yang hit the board directly from a medium distance.
If it was Kevin Garnett five years ago, Qin Yang would have safely chosen to pass.
Because Kevin Garnett's speed was too fast at that time, the help defense was very powerful, and it was second to none in the league, but now Kevin Garnett's speed is more than one percent slower.
Qin Yang made an easy move.
No stress.
The only pressure is the force exerted by Rajan Rondo when his body makes contact, interfering with Qin Yang's shooting feeling and interrupting Qin Yang's shooting rhythm.
It's something that a lot of defensive players do.
Qin Yang is already very familiar with it.
The Celtics offense is still the same old routine, Qin Yang followed Rajan Rondo, and took a step closer to the air, but Rajan Rondo didn't dare to shoot, grinding and chirping and waiting for a good opportunity.
I didn't dare to vote like this, Qin Yang was not polite, and he began to be lazy crazy.
Barnes followed Ray Allen like crazy, Petrus was close to Paul Pierce, Howard and Gortat were also very tightly defended inside, and Rajon Rondo didn't pass the ball at all.
Qin Yang kept retreating.
Where Rajonrondo stepped on the line at the three-point line.
At this time, the most amazing scene of this playoffs appeared.
Rajon Rondo dribbled, there was no one within two meters, Qin Yang was close to the basket, let go of Rajon Rondo two more steps, the Celtics players ran wildly, but they didn't get a chance.
There is no way for Rondo to take a step forward directly, and Qin Yang will also move forward.
Rajon Rondo jumped up to shoot, a position within a meter of the three-point line, which was already considered close to the basket, and Blandonbass shot an amazing percentage in this position.
But Rajon Rondo made a move, and struck with a bang.
This big iron broke the hearts of the Celts.
Qin Yang turned around and got the rebound.
Amway Arena was filled with banter.
Rajonlondo's face darkened, and he couldn't speak.
But an even more embarrassing scene is to come.
