Chapter 885: Seventh Crown, Surpassing Jordan

The end of the All-Star season means that the 14-15 season has passed 3/5 of the schedule, and as the trade deadline approaches, many teams are also making final reinforcements.

Despite the lack of shock-level transfers, there are some deals worth watching.

For example, the San Antonio Spurs, who have long lacked a high-quality No. 3 spot, finally learned the pain and traded George Hill + second-round pick from the Kings for Rudy Gay.

The Spurs are still going strong this season, but making the playoffs and winning the championship are not a concept.

For them, just adding a No. 3 spot is not enough, and by the summer of '15, they will most likely be chasing an inside superstar in free agency.

Only age is fair to any player.

Duncan is old, and it's unrealistic to expect him to hold up a piece of the Spurs' interior line.

Even without a historic player like Kraft Nguyen at the No. 4 position, it's time for the Spurs to step up.

In the final analysis, the biggest attraction of this season is the battle for the top spot of the season between the Clippers and the Warriors.

The final two months of the game will be crucial for both sides.

The Clippers didn't have much ambition for their regular season record, but if a dynastic team is plastered in the face, it must fight back.

The rivalry between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Golden State Warriors aside, it's not a matchup that can be won or lost in one or two games.

When it comes to the end of February, the most interesting news is Kobe Bryant's death glare, but this time, he is not targeting opponents, but teammates.

Here's how it happened, the Lakers just won their 14th game of the season and snapped a seven-game losing streak. But for such a result, Kobe, who is being reimbursed for the season due to a shoulder injury, is not very happy.

In the game two days ago, the Lakers fought hard in overtime to defeat their archrival Celtics.

After the game, when Jeremy Lin was interviewed by reporters on the spot, teammate Jordan Hill and others hooked up with him, and several people were happy.

But when this scene was seen by Kobe, Feixia unexpectedly put on a stinky face.

This scene happened in the latest episode of the famous talk show "Jimmy's Chicken Feather Show".

Looking at the picture of his teammates celebrating with emotion, Kobe's face stiffened and his expression was displeased, and this expression lasted for several seconds, even mixed with a hint of contempt.

Obviously, in Mamba's view, such a victory is really not worth celebrating.

teammates were not happy to win the game, so various interpretations spread instantly, and there are two more reliable statements:

1. Kobe Bryant himself was reimbursed for three consecutive seasons due to injuries, so he was depressed;

Second, Jeremy Lin's victory goes against the wishes of the Lakers management, and the Lakers have no hope for the 14-15 season, so they are already determined to be rotten.

In any case, it will be difficult for Shuhao to stay with the Lakers next season, and he and Kobe Bryant are simply not compatible.

Of course, there are also mean netizens who said directly: "Kobe Bryant was originally an All-Star, but now he is a cancer of the team." ”

The Lakers win is not something to celebrate, because this victory was not achieved under my leadership!

No one knew what Kobe Bryant really thought, but the death glare he gave to his teammates was recorded by the camera.

The 14-15 season enters the final stages of the regular season in mid-April.

In the end, the defending champions Los Angeles Clippers still had the last laugh, and they finished first in the league with a record of 68-14, beating the Golden State Warriors, who are second in the West and second in the league.

The Warriors have a good record, with a 67-15 record and a 2-2 draw in four meetings with the Clippers.

In the East, the Cleveland Cavaliers, who had just formed the Big Three, also failed to finish at the top of the league.

The Atlanta Hawks, who brought in new coach Mike Budenholzer, have risen to dominate the top spot in the East with a 60-22 record.

Blake Griffin finally has his chance to prove himself, and he is also one of the favourites for MVP this season.

In fact, among the players on the MVP shortlist this season, the most promising ones are Griffin and Curry.

The Warriors and Hawks have progressed phenomenally, so the team's core players must be strong contenders for MVP.

The Clippers' record has slipped from last season, and Erniu has three consecutive MVPs, so even if Kraft Nguyen's stats still explode and continue to dominate the scoring and rebounding lists, the league will not award him the most important Most Valuable Player award for the fourth time in a row.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that the Portland Trail Blazers are ranked fourth in the West with a record of 50 wins, ranking above the Grizzlies and Spurs with 54 wins.

It's not like the league is opening the door to the Trail Blazers, as the top team in the Northwest will automatically earn a top-four playoff spot.

In the 14-15 season, the playoff spots in the East and West were determined.

In the West, the teams ranked 1-8 are: Clippers, Warriors, Rockets, Trail Blazers, Grizzlies, Spurs, Mavericks, Daigo,

In the East, the teams ranked 1-8 are: Hawks, Cavaliers, Bulls, Raptors, Wizards, Bucks, Celtics, and Nets.

The Clippers had no pressure on the Pelicans in the first round.

Last season, the New Orleans Hornets changed their name to the Pelicans, and then the Bobcats immediately picked up the Hornets' name.

But changing the name can't change the strength, Ruan Erniu clocks out in almost every three quarters, and in the playoff intensity of the game, the Clippers still win with ease.

Anthony Davis must be praised, after all, he scored an average of 28+10 per game on the head of the two bulls.

Ruan Erniu couldn't help but say to Davis after the game: "The future is yours!"

In the eyes of many league stars, although Kraft Nguyen has not played a day in San Antonio, his routine is exactly the same, and he belongs to the type that can't even believe a punctuation mark.

The Clippers easily settled their first-round opponents, while the winners and losers of the other playoff games were decided in a short period of time.

On the eastern side, the higher-ranked teams beat the lower-ranked teams, but on the western side, there were two lower-ranked teams at the same time:

First, the Spurs, who ranked 6th in the bottom half of the West, overturned the 3rd-ranked Rockets 4:2.

The team with 54 wins can only finish 6th in the West, and the Rockets are only 3rd in the West with only 56 wins.

Besides, for a team like the Spurs, the regular season record is only a reference.

Second, in the upper half of the West, the 5th-ranked Grizzlies easily won the Trail Blazers 4:1, and many experts are calling for changes to the league's playoff ranking rules, and the current Trail Blazers do not have the strength of the top four in the West.

The list of semi-finals between the East and West has been released:

Top Half of the East: Hawks vs. Wizards

Bottom Half of the East: Cavaliers vs. Bulls

Top half of the West: Clippers vs. Grizzlies

Bottom half of the West: Warriors vs. Spurs

The Clippers will easily meet the Spurs in the Western Conference finals this year, but in the semifinals, it will be easier to meet the Grizzlies.

This is undoubtedly a very favorable situation for the defending champions, as they have never been stumped by the Grizzlies in the semifinals.

The biggest feature of the Grizzlies is that the overall strength is stable, and the core framework of the players has not changed.

In the era of small ball, they undoubtedly belonged to the standard minority, and the black and white bears held up their interior barrier, but the team's overall lack of offensive talent was never resolved.

The Clippers didn't give their opponents much of a chance, with the 4-1 Los Angeles being the first to emerge from the division semifinals, and they will await the winner between the Warriors and Spurs to compete for the Western Conference title.

The Spurs and Warriors fought until the last minute, and the Warriors, who have risen at an astonishing rate this season, came back to win.

After falling behind 3:2, the Warriors won two games in a row and successfully reached the Western Conference finals.

Among them, they played in the final quarter, replacing Bogut, replacing Iguodala, using PJ Tucker as the center, and the bold move of Harris Barnes to the No. 4 position was amazing.

The five-small lineup made surprise attacks on the Spurs in G6 and G7 in a row, and the results were clear at a glance.

PJ Tucker is boasted of omnipotence, rebounding, assisting, range, and defending from the No. 1 position to the No. 5 position, as if it were a Swiss Army knife.

The second half of the West is the final series to decide the winner, and in the upper and lower half of the East, the Hawks and Cavaliers both took the game away with a wave of 4:2 and successfully met in the East Finals.

The final roster for the East and West finals has been decided, and the awards for the 14-15 season are being announced one by one.

The Rookie of the Year belongs to Andrew Wiggins, and with an injury to Peter the Great, no one can compete with him for that position.

The most improved player was given to Jimmy Butler, from a role player to a Bulls leader, Butler proved with his own practical actions that looks are not important, players still need on-court performance to speak,

In other words, the aesthetics of Lao Mi are indeed very different from those of the Orientals.

Michael Jordan once felt inferior because he was ugly, and Jimmy Butler was simply abandoned by his birth mother because he was ugly.

But their appearance is not ugly in the eyes of many Asian people, and with the performance on the court, they even have a temperament bonus.

The position of the best sixth man went to Isaiah Thomas of the Clippers, and the little assassins were able to contribute 16+5 stats this season and shoot well from the field, and they deserved to win this award.

Mike Budenholzer, who gave the Hawks the best coach, was able to take the underdogs to the first place in the East and led the team to the Eastern Conference finals, and the former assistant coach of the Spurs department has indeed given a famous appearance this season.

The best defensive player is still not given to Erniu, and experts have given Kawhi Leonard, who has defended James in the Finals for two consecutive years, highly rated him, believing that he is an important fulcrum of the Clippers dynasty as the core of the Clippers' outside defense.

WITH KAWAII WINNING HIS FIRST D-POY, HE RIGHTFULLY CONFIRMED HIS POSITION AS THE CLIPPERS' THIRD BIG MAN.

Erniu also took the opportunity to praise in front of the media: "You still underestimate Kehuai, a player who can contribute an average of 18+ per game, the role of the team is not only reflected in the defensive end." ”

The highlight of the individual award is naturally put at the end, there is only one MVP, and the league's final choice is Stephen Curry, and Moe God is striding towards Curry.

At the same time as the individual awards were announced, the best teams were also announced.

In the earliest Rookie of the Year team, Jordan Clarkson, Nolens Noll, Nikola Mirotic, Andrew Wiggins and Elfried Payton were selected.

The second team includes Zach LaVine, Langston Galloway, Bojan Bogdanovic, Marcus Smart and Yusuf Nurkic.

There are basically no options that are too unexpected, and it is normal for Jabari Parker, Joel Embiid, and Aaron Gordon, who are ranked 2-4 in the draft list, to either suffer injuries in their rookie season or not be reused, and not play.

The All-NBA team that was announced afterwards was a big harvest for the Clippers, with a total of three members of the team making the list:

C Andre Drummond

PF Nguyen Er Niu

SF Kawhi Leonard

SG Tony Allen

PG Chris Paul

And in the second team, the Clippers also have someone selected:

C DeAndre Jordan

PF Tim Duncan

SF Anthony Davis

SG Jimmy Butler

P.G. John Wall

The alliance's intention to raise thick eyebrows is still obvious, otherwise it would not have forcibly put him into the third position of the second formation.

The last announcement is of course the list of the best teams:

Best Burst:

C Mark Gasol

PF Nguyen Er Niu

SF LeBron James

SG James Harden

P.G. Stephen Curry

Best Second Formation:

C Pau Gasol

PF Anthony Davis

SF LaMarcus Aldridge

SG Russell Westbrook

PG Chris Paul

Best 3 Formations:

C DeAndre Jordan

PF DeMarcus Cousins

SF Blake Griffin

SG Klay Thompson

P.G. Kyrie Owen

In order to divide the cake evenly, the alliance can be regarded as painstaking.

The first and second positions are basically indistinguishable, they are all two-way guards anyway, and the third, fourth and fifth positions are also not fixed, anyway, they are all frontcourt players, even if the position of this player is biased towards the inside, but he can still appear in the position of the third position.

Awards are awards, and what can really determine the game is the performance of both sides on the field.

The division finals were on the verge of a shake-off, with the Clippers facing the Golden State Warriors first.

Steve Kerr, who has been an assistant coach for three years, knows the Clippers too well, so the Clippers have been targeted quite seriously since G1, but they have survived the Warriors' three-board axe, and the Clippers have gradually found their rhythm in the game.

Curry and Thompson's three-point shooting is unlikely to last a full game, let alone a three-point shot, and the Clippers are also not short of shooters.

In the final quarter of the game, Kerr really sacrificed the "five small lineup" again, but the reaction speed of the Clippers was not slow at all, Dream Green replaced Jordan Jr. to play the No. 4 position, and Erniu went to the No. 5 position.

The Clippers, who are fast and fast, are still a cut above their opponents in terms of overall athletic talent, and the Clippers won G1.

In the following games, the Warriors also played extremely well, and the three-point rain shot the opponent to death without reason, but the long series, in the final analysis, still compares the heritage and strength of the two teams.

The biggest flaw in the Warriors' five-small lineup is the protection of rebounding, and this aspect is exactly what the Clippers with Ruan Erniu as the core are best at.

4:1, the Los Angeles Clippers reached the Finals.

The East also decided the winner over there, and James led the team to kill the Hawks with three shots and five divisions, and this was when Love was reimbursed for injury in the first round.

The Cavaliers, who reached the Finals, launched a final comeback, but unfortunately they made another bad news in G1, with Kyrie Irving suffering a stress fracture of his left knee in the game and being reimbursed for the season.

With two less of the Big Three, no one can stop the Clippers from winning the championship.

Even Adam Shaw is too lazy to manipulate the game without suspense.

4:0, the Clippers swept the opponent in the Finals to win the championship.

Ruan Erniu won the cup seven times in his career, won the FMVP seven times, and successfully surpassed Jordan.

LeBron James finished second overall in his career.
