Chapter 772: Awards continue, and fight again for Green Kai

The second round of the playoffs is on the horizon, but the league's major regular season awards are also the focus of fans.

The attribution of ROY should be in no suspense.

Although Brandon Jennings has a 55-point performance in a single game, and he once dragged the first-round series to G6 with Al Horford in the playoffs, he averaged 20+5+5 per game in the regular season, and was known as the No. 1 James-Tyrek Evans, there is still no one who is enough to compete with the new leader of the Kings for the best rookie position.

The best rookie first and second teams were also announced.

The Rookie of the Year team is: Darren Collisson, Stephen Curry, Tyrek Evans, Ty Gibson, Brandon Jennings.

The Rookie of the Year Second Team are: DeJuan Blair, Jonny Flynn, James Harden, Jonas Jerebko, Marcus Thornton.

Judging from the lineup alone, the league's small ball style has become more and more obvious, otherwise there would not be a spectacle of four point guards appearing in a burst at the same time, and the best rookie is not the best team, but it also represents the future development direction of the league.

Judging by the list, the future trend of the alliance can already be vaguely predicted.

MIP is also not much suspense, Aaron Brooks has grown from a role player to a leader for the Rockets, and he has indeed taken on the responsibility of moving forward for the Rockets with injuries to Yao Ming and Maddie.

Judging from the data, his average of 18+3+2 per game is indeed a well-deserved leader of the Rockets. Even if the Rockets failed to make the playoffs in the end, it did not prevent Little Black Bean from being selected as the most improved player.

The ownership of SMOY should have been in suspense, but Ginobili won it the year before last, and Jason Terry also won it this year, and it seems that only Jamal Crawford, who averages 17+ per game, is suitable for this award.

It has to be said that Woodson's transformation of the 6 is reasonable, and in the position of the sixth man, Crawford did play extremely efficiently.

Then the most talked-about, and at the same time the most controversial, award was finally announced at the end of the first-round series.

In the end, Mike Woodson still couldn't get one step closer to the road to his own class, and he lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Mike Brown, who finished second in the league, and unfortunately failed to complete the three-game COY.

If you think about it, this is also a matter of course, from 60 wins to 73 wins, it is naturally a qualitative leap, but from 73 wins to 75 wins, it still lacks a little convincing.

Despite the addition of a 27-game winning streak and a league-best 34-game winning streak, more credit is being given to the strength of the Hawks' roster itself.

The full-level number has always been so awesome, and it is as super a god as a player.

Of course, black fans have come out again to brush up on their presence, and they feel that this is his X's racism, and if Mike Woodson's skin color is white, the league will definitely not skimp on three consecutive COY.

I don't know how Mike Brown, who is also dark-skinned, felt when he heard this, anyway, Mike Woodson was in a good mood, he smiled and said in front of the media: "Mike Brown deserves COY, I'm happy for him!"

Egghead is not a fool, his mind is quite clear, it is useless to complain at this time, it is better to use a real Eagle dynasty to write a strong stroke for his coach.

The results are always the most convincing!

Of course, while Black Bread won COY, it basically meant that this year's regular season MVP was out of suspense.

As is customary in the league, the COY and MVP awards will not be given to the same team at the same time, unless it is a team that breaks the league's history record like last year's 73 wins.

And since the COY in the 09-10 season gave black bread, the MVP basically won't fall into the hands of others.

Ruan Erniu's bold words at the beginning of the season were once again advanced, and he will continue to win MVP+D-POY+FMVP this season.

To be honest, at the beginning of the season, there were countless people who said that the Celestial Empire was arrogant, even though the Eagles won 73 wins last season, there are still many media who look down on Ruan Erniu, thinking that the Wild Bull has become arrogant and will soon fall.

But a season has passed, and in terms of team honors, Nguyen Er Niu has 27 consecutive wins at the beginning of the season, the longest 34 consecutive wins of the season and the league's best record of 75 wins and 7 losses.

In terms of personal honors, Erniu also has a record of 50+ consecutive games surpassing Jordan and Kobe, a personal record of 72 points in a single game, and a historical scoring record of 36+ per game in the season. (Before that, only Wilt Chamberlain, Elgin Baylor, and Michael Jordan had done it.) )

Well, there is no suspense for MVP, and D-POY is also difficult to escape from Erniu's control in previous media predictions.

After all, he is the second in this season's rebounding king + blocking king + steals list, and according to the league's current attitude, it seems that it is not surprising to praise Ruan Erniu as the first three-time D-POY in history.

As for FMVP?

If the Celestial Empire leads the Eagles to successfully defend the title and establish a dynasty, then the chances of this honor being lost are almost zero, and Kraft Nguyen is a worthy leader in the Eagles, and no one can replace his role.

More than half of the major awards for the 09-10 season have been announced, although there are still MVP and D-POY, as well as the best defensive team, the best team for the first team, and the second team have not been announced, but for Ruan Erniu personally, his harvest is close at hand.

However, after a season, the Celestial Empire could not be careless, and in the following month, he had to lead the team to 12 victories before finally establishing the Eagles dynasty that countless fans have been waiting for.

On May 1, 2010, the Atlanta Eagles welcomed the Boston Celtics at the Philips Center.

Needless to say, the Hawks won the Eastern Conference championship in the 07-08 season by stepping on the shoulders of the Green Triumvirate, and finally reached the Finals and won their second championship trophy in team history.

In the glorious championship history of Green Kai, Bob Pettit also defeated the Celtics in the 57-58 season to win the NBA championship, if it was not interrupted by the Hawks for a year, Green Kai is very likely to complete the great feat of ten consecutive championships that year.

New hatred, old hatred, there is no compromise between the Atlanta Hawks and the Boston Celtics, only fighting!

The starting line-up that Celtic fielded tonight is:

C Kendrick Perkins

PF Kevin Garnett

S.F. Paul Pearce

SG Ray Allen

P.G. Rajan Rondo

And on the bench of Green Kai, there are also Tony Allen, Glen Davis, Rasheed Wallace, Michael Finley, Maguire Daniels and other good players.

Among them, former Mavericks leader Michael Finley was cut by the Spurs at the end of March and eventually joined the Boston Celtics as a free agent.

There were no changes to the starting lineup on the Hawks' side:

C Ruan Er Niu

PF Josh Smith

S.F. John Salmons

SG Joe Johnson

PG Goran Dragic

After the opening ceremony and the mat performance, the two starters walked to the center of the court, and after a sparkling high-five, Nguyen Erniu and Garnett came to the center circle at the same time.

The two Taurus don't say anything and give each other a death glare.

As the referee threw the basketball in the air, the G1 battle between the two sides officially began.

Garnett took the lead in the basketball with his height and reach, Rondo held the ball in the backcourt, dribbled past half court, and Dragic immediately stepped up to the defense to create pressure on Rondo.

Rondo dribbled the ball upfield, blocking the claw machine with his arms while looking for an opportunity.

Garnett took the initiative to lift up to cover Rondo, who used the cover to shake off the claw machine and took advantage of the pick-and-roll substitution to hold the ball past the eclipse.

Rondo made it to the box, and the Hawks were left with the last basket keeper.

"Whoosh!"

Rondo flew into the air first and wanted to open the scoring with a throw, but he clearly underestimated Erniu's bounce speed.

"Bang!"

Ruan Erniu came first, jumped high, and fanned the ball out of the sideline like a volleyball dunk.

From the beginning of the game, the two sides did not have any temptation, and directly dragged the game into the most direct fierce confrontation.

The ball was sent out on the sideline, Paul Pearce held the ball in the half, and singled Salmons with a 18-foot back-to-back on the wing, the Salmon's defense was no problem, but Pierce's back-to-back skills were better.

Shoulders, backs, half-turns, tentative steps, feints to shoot.

After Salmons was shaken off, Pierce calmly stepped back and shot and hit the opening shot.

The claw machine controlled the ball through half the court and then sent the ball to the hands of the embarrassment.

Erniu and Lunar Eclipse were both raised at the same time as cover, Embarrassment walked to the side of the Eclipse, Ray Allen's defense was not top-notch, but at least he did not lose position, when Embarrassment held the ball and hit the wing, Garnett, Ray Allen and Rondo actually killed together.

Embarrassed Sen did not force a shot, but casually distributed the ball to the outside of the claw machine, the claw machine was also not greedy, in the face of Pierce's supplemental defense, he received the ball and passed, and sent the ball to the unguarded Salmons in the bottom corner.

Salmon catches the ball and shoots.

"Brush!"

Also in it!

The Hawks successfully overtook the score, and the Celtics' defensive tactics also began to show their beginning.

They have done a much more thorough job of packing the ball carriers than they did in the Rivers era, and Bob Thibodeau did not take over the role of his own to change the existing defensive tactics of the Green Kais.

In Rivers' era, he was the coach in charge of defense, so in Thibodeau's view, the Green Army can only defeat the Atlanta Hawks if they continue to deepen their defense.

The so-called veteran coach has his own insistence in his heart, and it is clear that the Hawks' three-point shooting is the best in the league, but Thibodeau firmly believes that joint defense can effectively cut off the connection between players and players, and in the playoffs, the Hawks' three-point shooting will also decline sharply due to the increase in defensive intensity.

As long as he is like the Chicago Bulls, do a good job of guarding against Ruan Erniu, and don't give him the opportunity to launch an offensive and defensive transition at the first time, the Atlanta Hawks will definitely be able to be defeated.

However, imagine that among the current Celtics team, who can really do a good job of delaying a pass or breaking through with the ball?

Perkins?

In the past three seasons, he has been doubted by Erniu countless times.

Glenn Davis?

Big baby can outrun the bull?

Garnett?

Pulling out Green Kai's defensive hub, the Hawks are not randomly wreaking havoc on Green Kai's interior, not to mention, Garnett can stop Ruan Erniu's impact?

Again, this is a false proposition.

As for the severely degraded Rashid Wallace, he may not even be able to outrun the big baby, let alone Nguyen Erniu.

Halfway through the first quarter, as the defensive intensity of both sides increased, the shots of both sides began to play hard.

This is not good news for Green Kai, although the Celtics do not suffer in terms of their backcourt rebounding protection, but in the offensive and defensive conversion, Green Kai really can't outrun the Atlantians.

As Ruan Erniu won the backcourt rebounds again and again, and then held the ball past Perkins, when the front court was 5vs4, fans in front of the TV had to admit that compared to Perkins, Noah was young, but he could really run.

Garnett's defense is very good, but Ruan Erniu in the impact state is too terrifying, in the first quarter of the game alone, he directly held the ball more than once to complete the violent dunk between people, even if Garnett was desperate to pull people with malicious fouls, he did not pull down Ruan Erniu in the rapid impact.

What's even worse is that while Ruan Erniu was impacting, it also attracted Lu Kai to further shrink the defensive line, so the Eagles' outside shooter group once again gained a big vacancy.

With Salmons, Dragic and even the Eclipse all hitting three-pointers one after another, even if the poor outside touch in the first quarter did not affect the overall situation.

At 26:33, the Hawks took a seven-point lead in the first quarter.

"That's your response?" said Ruan Erniu gave Garnett a special shrug before leaving the court.

"Fxxx, you dog XX of the Celestial Empire, you are only worthy of XX to eat XX. "Garnett has always been a Yellowstorm guy.

His so-called trash talk has always been full of low-level fun, and Ruan Erniu replied disdainfully: "Are you left with these poor words? Celtic can't win the championship, and you will always be a LOSER!"

The two quarreled while leaving the game, and it was not until the referee blew T as a warning that the two were finally separated.

The silence of the regular season can only show that Green Kai is paddling, and when it comes to the playoffs, they once again show that hideous expression.

Trash talk, no matter how high or bad it is, is effective as long as it can continue to affect the psychology of the opponent.

However, Ruan Erniu, who has played in the league for three seasons, has long been accustomed to hearing all kinds of racial discrimination and ninth-rate words, and it is not a simple matter to easily shake his heart.

The second quarter started quickly, and the Celtics, who didn't take advantage of the starting lineup, found a chance in rotation time as Tony Allen managed to freeze Jamal Crawford.

The Gram-6 has an excellent offense, but Tony Allen has been the most efficient man on the outside line for two consecutive seasons.

It can be said that the defensive hub of the entire Celtics is Garnett inside and Tony Allen outside, and when these two people are on the court at the same time, Green Kai has the league's best defensive efficiency.

Crawford's shooting continued to hit iron, and Green Kai also took this opportunity to overtake the score, Rashid Wallace's movement speed on the defensive end did decline significantly, but against a Chris Anderson, it seems that it doesn't need too fast movement speed, but on the offensive end, Wallace showed off a straight arm shot and hit several shots against Anderson.

Woodson immediately called for a long timeout, and he was quite unhappy with the performance of the Hawks off the bench.

Ruan Erniu was immediately substituted, which was an immediate substitution, and Green Kai also replaced Garnett.

On the offensive end of the Eagles, Bibi held the ball on the outside, Ruan Erniu raised the top arc, and Bibi immediately sent the ball over.

Garnett had no choice but to pounce because Rashid's movement speed was simply not enough.

Is it useful to pounce on it?

Ruan Erniu did not hesitate, and immediately chose to pull out the ball as soon as he got the ball.

"Brush!"

Erniu's straight-arm shooting is not as high as Rashid's, and he is also better than Rashid Wallace in terms of ball speed and stability.

In the next round, Ruan Erniu shot Garnett in almost the same position, and hit a three-pointer again, and the Hawks overtook the score.

The confrontation escalated, but the Hawks held on to the lead in the second quarter.

Thibodeau's prediction was not wrong, as the intensity of the game increased, the Hawks' three-point shooting rate was indeed declining, but this did not give Green Kai the opportunity to counterattack, if necessary, Ruan Erniu alone could play an explosive performance in a short period of time, and no player on the Green Kai side could actually contain the Hawks leader.

In other words, in the entire league, there is no player who can actually form a strategic level of suppression of Ruan Erniu on the defensive end.

The 75-win Hawks have long been studied by other teams in the league and fans around the world.

One of the most popular theories now is that it is possible for any team to copy the Eagles' tactics if they are given another Kraft Nguyen.

That's right, a three-point shooter can be copied, a joint defense strategy can be copied, and even a second-in-command with the ability to lead a weak team like Yu Yusen can be found, but it is too difficult to find another Ruan Erniu.

The so-called historical players themselves have great irreproducibility, and a certain existence in the dark seems to focus care on the person of the Celestial Empire.

At 28:28, the two teams ended up tied in the second quarter, and the first half ended, and at 54:61, the Hawks continued to maintain a seven-point lead.

The Celtics' defensive strategy is inherently problematic, but unfortunately, their opponent is the Atlanta Hawks led by Nguyen Er Niu.

When Mike Woodson was asked in an interview at halftime about why his team was able to maintain the lead in the first half, Egghead replied with a smile: "If you see that the situation is not right, send Kraft on the pitch. ”

This statement is obviously plagiarized from Mike Brown, but the fact is that the Cavaliers can't do without LeBron James, and the Atlanta Hawks can't do without Ruan Erniu.

On the Hawks commentary bench, Dominic Wilkins and his old partner Bob Rushburn said something very philosophical: "There are always people who can't be judged by common sense, and Kraft Nguyen is outside the Celtics' cognition." ”
