Chapter 570 [Fantasy Results, Lakers Surprise Soldiers]
Yao Ming lifted the trophy, and at that moment, his face, illuminated by the flash, was still frozen in the emoji a hundred years later.
Seeing the Chinese compatriots standing on the podium, Yang Rui was also full of a sense of accomplishment.
Yao Ming is not the strongest star in the NBA, he is flawed, but he deserves to be elected MVP this year, at least much more reasonable than Yang Rui's previous life.
In the previous life, the NBA actually let Nash win the MVP for a second consecutive year, and the Suns only had the third record in the West, how weak would the other candidates be? How systematic does a championship team have to be for this to happen?
There are a total of 11 consecutive MVP winners in NBA history, and only Nash has never made it to the Finals.
Poor defensive weaknesses aside, Nash is also not good at efficiency, ranking only 14th, behind Billups. If you combine the efficiency value and the team's record, the MVP of the year should be Nowitzki. The Mavericks are second in the West with 60 wins, and Nowitzki ranks first in the league with 28.1 efficiency points.
If Nash has helped the team a lot, then what's the deal with Paul? Paul 2007-08 season 21.1 points, 4 rebounds, 11.6 assists and 2.7 steals, assist king plus steal king, shooting rate of 49%, the team rose from 11th in the West to 2nd, only one win away from the first, failed to win the MVP.
This year, Yao Ming ranks third in the league in efficiency, behind Nowitzki and James, and Kobe Bryant ranks seventh.
In the future, many people will evaluate Yao Ming, and they will mention his high emotional intelligence, thinking that he can gallop in the NBA, and he will mix well after retiring, which is inseparable from his ability to speak.
Emotional intelligence is a person's stone, no matter what time it is, it has the function of throwing stones to ask for directions.
When receiving the MVP trophy and giving a speech, Yao Ming showed his talking side. He thanked not his family, coaches, and fans the most, but Kobe Bryant and reporters!
Thanks to Kobe Bryant for helping the Lakers locker room harmony, Yao Ming's words are as if the two are half-brothers who have been separated for many years and finally met, and they laughed like embarrassment.
Thanks to journalists, the MVP winner is voted for by hundreds of journalists across North America. Each judge voted for the best players from 1st to 5th. Players will receive 10 points for each first place vote, 7 points for the second vote, 5 points for the third vote, 3 points for the fourth vote, and 1 point for the fifth vote, with the player with the highest cumulative score being elected.
In other words, Yao Ming is the most appreciated player by reporters in the regular season, and if Kobe and Comey are not convinced, blame the reporters.
Many reporters are guided and manipulated by the league, and everyone knows that there are unspoken rules, does Kobe Bryant dare to blame David Stern?
The Best Coach Award was also voted for by North American journalists, and Yang Rui was successfully elected. The other two candidates have an obvious gap with him, and the fans will not agree to the final award.
Yang Rui led the team to break the record record, scoring an average of 121 points per game and an average net win of 23 points per game.
Even if it is a reporter who has just entered the industry, he can only call out the name of an NBA coach, and it must be Yang Rui.
With 5 Best Coach Awards and 2 consecutive Best Coach awards, Yang Rui has achieved fantastic results.
When he gave his speech, Yang Rui had nothing to say, he realized that his road to the Lakers was about to reach a bottleneck, and he would not be able to win the best coach award in this team in the future, even if they created the best record in the league next season, because the NBA has repeated rules and regulations.
And, too much, the Lakers' presence has affected the competitiveness of the NBA, and Stern will not provide them with some implicit conveniences like he has done in the past two years. Otherwise, it will discourage other teams and be detrimental to the long-term development of the NBA.
Yang Rui had an idea that he would have to leave the Lakers when the contract expired at the latest, even if Yao Ming was here. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to set an even more terrifying record of honor.
He hasn't figured out which team to go to, and it's safe to assume that he doesn't want to leave California.
The media reported the results of the awards, and there was a lot of controversy about who was the strongest among the active players. In terms of coaching, Yang Rui is already recognized as the first, and the honor can prove everything.
Even if it is Auerbach, people think that he only has more championships than Yang Rui, and it is only a matter of time before he is surpassed, there is no suspense.
On May 24, the Lakers host the Spurs.
The pre-game comments were one-sided, everyone was optimistic about the Lakers to advance, this season the Spurs looked weaker than last season, not only the departure of guard Tinsley, Duncan also failed to average 20+10 per game for the first time in his career, and he looked like his form had declined.
From 2004 to 2007, it should have been the peak period of the Spurs, but because of the existence of the Super Lakers, they were much inferior. In the last round of the series, the Grizzlies played a tie-break, and the Spurs players only had one day off, and they were also at a physical disadvantage.
The result was just as predicted by the experts, with the Lakers taking the lead from the start. What they didn't expect was that the main attacker in the first quarter arranged by Yang Rui was Iguodala, and for Popovich's deployment, he did not rely on cover on the side, cut the basket again and again, and relied on his body to play.
Iguodala has gained weight to 102 kilograms this season, and he is full of muscle, and his muscle lines are more exaggerated than James's. The most amazing thing is that after he became muscular, he did not affect the shooting touch, and his three-point shooting in the right corner and 70 degrees was good, which was an improvement compared to last season.
Bowen was in charge of defending Kobe, and Iguodala singled out Ginobili to bring out his physical advantage. Yao Ming responded inside, sharing the ball from close range, the opponent was difficult to block, and Iguodala received the ball without dribbling, and directly hit the basket like Marion.
After scoring eight points, the Spurs replaced Bowen to defend Iguodala and Ginobili to defend Kobe.
The Lakers became Kobe Bryant's main offense, and after the players pulled away, Iguodala was still able to play, and scored three more goals in the face of Bowen's defense.
Iguodala has become stronger with the Lakers, stronger than Yang Rui in the same period in his previous life.
In the 76ers, his nickname is "Little AI", but his playing style is completely different from Iverson, and his swingman teammates are poor, and no one can teach him skills.
After joining the Lakers, Iguodala and Kobe Bryant practiced against each other for two seasons, not only with the technical breakthrough of the face frame, the ability to pass, but also the ability to play back. He learned from Kobe Bryant in his back-to-back play and enriched his arsenal.
Last year, Iguodala was a heads-up with a frame-based, relying on speed and bounce to create a mobile chance, and most of the stop-and-go jump shots. This year, he'll be able to use his strong body to get close to his opponent and take a quick turn to get past him. Even if you can't pass people directly in one step, Iguodala can rely on explosiveness and resist people to make a strong layup.
Iguodala's regular season statistics are average, averaging only 12.5 points, 4.8 rebounds and 3 assists per game, but the shooting rate is as high as 50.6%, and the three-point shooting rate is as high as 35.3%.
Bowen and Ariza belong to a type of defensive player, and Iguodala is used to it when he often goes head-to-head with his teammates on the team. Bowen has average confrontation ability, relying on anticipation, movement, height, and arm span to limit opponents, and is afraid of a muscular man who plays with his back.
The current Bowen is not as dirty as in his previous life, and there are not so many small movements and steps. Since entering the league, he has only injured Rodman, not even a malicious foul, and has never been suspended.
In his previous life, the Spurs met the Kings in the first round this season, and everyone was optimistic about the Spurs, who had the best record in the league, and swept the promotion, and as a result, the Kings' Bunch-Wells series played a super data of 23.2 points and 12 rebounds, with an average shooting rate of 62.5% per game, and led the team to win two games.
The weakness of the Spurs this season is that they can't defend the muscular man from the outside, and in Yang Rui's previous life, they were eliminated by the Mavericks 4-3 in the second round, and the anti-Stackhouse did not do well.
Iguodala became a surprise player, scoring 15 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist in a single quarter, and the Lakers beat the Spurs 37-20.
Popovich was also dumbfounded, in the regular season, Iguodala was just the Lakers' fourth point of attack.
