During the break, the major awards of the regular season were announced one after another, and Patrick Ewing was named the MVP of the regular season. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Many fans were upset about Michael Jordan, and last season's MVP went to Karl Malone, which was snatched up by Ewing this season. Fortunately, choosing MVP is not like evaluating All-Star starters, if it is more popular, Ewing and Malone together are not Jordan's opponents.

Ewing led the All-NBA first team and squeezed O'Neal, who had only played 60 games, down. If it weren't for O'Neal's absence too much, the Lakers might be able to compete with the Knicks for the best record, with or without a fat man, it's two teams.

Alan Houston squeezed out Pippen, who had only played 44 games, and was named to the All-NBA Third Team, which was also a breakthrough in his life.

The depressed man was Jeff Van Gundy, and the best coach award went to Larry Bird of the Pacers, who was being abused by the Knicks, but he was going to be second.

The award was voted on by sports journalists from the United States and Canada. Each judge voted for the first, second and third place coaches. Coaches will receive 5 points for each first-place vote, 3 points for second-place votes, and 1 point for third-place votes. The coach with the highest final score receives the award.

Van Gundy's score is not high, and it is clear that in the eyes of sports reporters, the Knicks' improvement on the offensive end is not Van Gundy's sudden enlightenment, but the credit of new assistant coach Yang Rui.

In other awards, Suns interior Danny Manning beat Starks to win the Sixth Man of the Year.

Eagles power forward Alan Henderson won the Most Improved Player award.

Eagles center Dekembe Mutombo became the best defensive player.

The Rookie of the Year was won by Spurs interior Tim Duncan without any suspense. He's a recognized super-rookie, and this season he was named to the All-Defensive First Team and All-Defensive Second Team, which is very rare for a player to make his debut at the top of his game.

The most surprising thing for Yang Rui is that Ewing was also selected for the second team of the best defensive team, his defensive ability is actually not as good as before, and the good defense of his teammates on the outside is the key to winning.

The Knicks' defensive statistics are not bad, and someone needs to be selected to show that Bowen is a rookie, Oakley and Ben Wallace are substitutes, and finally use elimination, and the honor falls to Ewing, the most popular. In this era, the selection of the best defensive team is no longer very reliable.

Since he was going to the Pacers to play on the road, the award was given to the star at home, and Ewing had to be late to deliver his acceptance speech.

Ewing's selection as MVP boosted the Knicks' morale, and they pressed the Pacers at the beginning of Game 3 to win 118-97 and lead 3-0 in the overall score. Ewing had a great performance with 22 points, 15 rebounds and 5 assists.

Larry Bird had just accepted the Coach of the Year trophy before the game, and then he was disgraced, and he couldn't do anything with the Knicks.

Bird once played small-ball tactics in the second half and fought for speed with the Knicks, but the result was to disrupt the rhythm of the team, and the Pacers were not good at fast-paced games at all.

In the fourth game, the Pacers lost morale and did not take a single lead in the whole game.

Star player Miller sleepwalked, shooting 5-of-14, 2-of-6 from three-point range and 4-of-5 from the free-throw line, finishing with 16 points, 2 rebounds and no assists, and he was already the team's top scorer.

The Knicks won 95-81 and easily swept 4-0 to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals first.

Van Gundy was interviewed with confidence high, referring to the next round: "The Knicks are the best team in the league this season and we have the quality to beat anyone, any team, including Michael Jordan. ”

The reporter asked: "How many games do you think the Bulls will use to advance?" ”

Van Gundy said: "I think tomorrow the Bulls will sweep and advance, the Heat are not strong, we were eliminated last season because of that brawl, and if you want to win a championship, you need strength, not violence on the court." ”

Unable to eliminate the Heat on the court to take revenge, Van Gundy did not forget to disgust the opponent, and now the Heat are down 0-3 to the Bulls, which is also a series of huge disparities.

At the press conference, Bird and Miller, who are known for their "big mouths", could not say a word of madness. If you lose, you lose, not by trash talk, and you can get back face with witty words.

It's been another nightmare series for Reggie Miller, and the only good news is that he's out on the Pacers' home court and won't be booed away by the fans.

Yang Rui does not sympathize with Miller, but all poor people must have something to hate.

There is a price to be paid for being high-profile, especially a guy like Miller, who is not invincible and bites people everywhere like a mad dog.

Miller's career peak was 24.6 points, 3.6 rebounds and 3.8 assists, which is common in any era, and Miller didn't have any honors, scoring titles, MVPs, etc., and his biggest success was to make three All-Star teams.

The reason why Miller is famous and hated by Knicks fans is the "Miller moment".

The earliest Miller moment was Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Pacers and New York in 1994. The Pacers trailed by 12 points heading into the fourth quarter, and New York mascot fan and director Spike Lee went crazy trash talk at Miller, resulting in Miller scoring 25 points in a single quarter, including five three-pointers, to turn the game around.

After making the final three-pointer, Miller demonstrated by making his famous choke lock at Spike Lee.

On May 7, 1995, in the first game of the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Pacers trailed the Knicks by 6 points, with only 18.7 seconds left in the game.

After that, the Pacers fouled, the Knicks missed two free throws, Miller got the rebound and caused the Knicks to foul, he hit both free throws, and then the Knicks Ewing missed the shot, and the Pacers narrowly beat the opponent by 2 points.

These are the two biggest flashes of Miller's career, every year and his Pacers are abused out, I don't know why, they are taken out and blown and blown.

Always losing made Miller's personality distorted, and he gradually became a famous troll in the NBA. He always throws things like "Do you know why I'm paid so much, that's the gap?" after he scores. "You go back and practice again" and other trash talk.

Funnily enough, none of the Knicks sprayed Miller this time around, because most of the time, Miller was against Bruce Bowen. Miller saves a lot of spitting, what's the point of spraying Bowen? He's just a blue-collar worker with no data.

The Knicks fired back in the most direct way possible, sending the Pacers home for fishing.

Yang Rui suspects that he has caused another butterfly effect and changed history, and no one may boast that Miller is Jordan's "lifelong enemy" in the future. In Yang Rui's previous life, Miller had only played Jordan once in the playoffs in his career, and that was this season. It's a pity he missed it.
