Chapter 639: Best Lineup and Tie-Break
"I'm really not ready to stay, watch the game of the East Finals?"
Ruan Er Niu dropped his friends off at the airport, and the last one to go was Russell Westbrook. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"I'm so jealous, brother, so get ready to go back and practice hard, and I wish you another championship in the finals."
One day, I will appear in front of you with the MVP trophy held high!"
Erniu smiled and said, "That's a matter of time, I said, I'm waiting for you in front!"
Just after the announcement of the most suspenseful and heavyweight award of the season, the league announced the best team 1, 2 and 3 of the 08-09 season shortly after:
First Team of the Year: Nguyen Er Niu, Dirk Nowitzki, LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade.
All-Team Second Team: Dwight Howard, Tim Duncan, Paul Pearce, Brandon Roy, Chris Paul.
All-round team three: Yao Ming, Pau Gasol, Cameron Anthony, Joe Johnson, Chauncey Billups.
The list was largely unexpected.
Although there is still controversy in individual positions, on the whole, it is relatively fair.
The balance between individual strength and team results is convincing.
The second round of the playoffs is also coming to an end at this time.
In addition to the Atlanta Hawks, who swept their opponents twice and advanced to the Eastern Conference finals in advance, the Denver Nuggets also followed closely behind, eliminating the Dallas Mavericks with a score of 4:1 and becoming the second team to advance to the division finals this season.
Nowitzki averaged 34.4+11.6+4.0 per game, slightly better than Cameron Anthony's 30.0+6.8+3.4, but the game was more than just a matchup of the main players.
At least two points, the Mavericks were blown up by the Nuggets.
First of all, of course, Billups unexpectedly beat Jason Kidd, even though this has already been seen in the first two games.
Billups finally beat Kidd's 12.8+6.2+5.6 with 21.6+7.2+3.6.
After this series, Jason Kidd, who holds the league's second-highest salary, was hacked to the point of being incomplete.
Of course, the most ridiculed by everyone is Mark Cuban, the boss who is wronged.
Anyway, since he let go of two-time MVP Steve Nash, he has been in the turn of people until now, and as long as the Mavericks don't win a championship for a day, Cuban will always be the object of ridicule.
Another point that was completely blown up was in the center position.
Dampier, the "second center" who plays an average of 21 minutes per game, is actually not an absolute mainstay, but neither he nor Brandon Bass on the bench can stop the wreaking havoc of the samba beast - Nei Hilario.
The Sambas, who averaged 16.0+6.8+2.6 per game, completely exploded Dampier with an average of 3.0+3.8+0.6 per game, and Brandon Buss, who averaged 10.8+4.4+0.8 per game.
In terms of the best sixth man, JR Smith also defeated Jason Terry, who averaged 15.2+3.2+2.4 per game, with a data of 16.6+3.4+3.4+3.4.
With such a comparison, it is reasonable that the Nuggets can defeat the Mavericks 4-1.
The Denver Nuggets made it to the Western Conference finals first, but the worst of the rounds was Allen Iverson, who was looking for his next home.
If the regular season record is not enough, then the playoff results are undoubtedly the most convincing thing.
The swap between Iverson and Billups only proves one thing: the latter is more of a champion, while the former has never proven his ability to lead the team after leaving Larry Brown's system.
Of course, the outcome of the game in the lower half of the West was already guessed halfway through, but the fierce competition in the first half of the West was difficult for anyone to predict.
As of G6, the Houston Rockets and the Los Angeles Lakers played 3:3, and Aaron Brooks became the hero of the Rockets, he completely exploded the Lakers' No. 1 position, with an average of 18.0+2.6+2.4 per game, and continued to play the role of a giant.
The crucial G7 battle has become the most classic game of this round of the series.
In the first quarter of the game, the two sides continued to fight iron, and the Lakers stood up to score not Kobe, Gasol, and Odom, but Ariza at the third position.
After Radmanovic was traded, Ariza quickly secured the Lakers' starting No. 3 spot with his defensive performance, and the two-bull UCLA alumnus seized the opportunity to turn his fortunes around.
In the first quarter of the game, Ariza shot 3 of 6, 2 of 3 three-pointers, and 1 of 2 free throws, scoring 9 points and 2 rebounds, becoming the player with the most points in a single quarter in the Lakers.
If it weren't for Da Yao's consecutive 15-foot shots in the first quarter, maybe the Rockets would have trailed by a wide margin in the first quarter.
At 16:22, the Rockets, who trailed by 6 points in the first quarter, still had a chance, but the Lakers also had no way back tonight.
In the second quarter of the game, Kobe Bryant was still under the care of Artest and Battier, but he still had a bad hand, and only made 1 of 5 shots.
And the Rockets' bench team, Vaughan Weaver, had a brilliant performance in this quarter, shooting back-to-back shots and shooting 4-of-6 for the Rockets to score a quarter-high eight points.
Yao Ming and Gasol were back and forth in this quarter, each contributing points to the team.
Lamar Odom and Bynum played at the same time, so that the Lakers still ended the second quarter with a one-point lead at 28-29.
At the end of the first half, 44:51, the Rockets trailed by seven points.
But after the start of the second half, it was a sudden change.
The rocket finally has a chance of its own.
The first is that Andrew Bynum was fighting for a rebound in the backcourt, and accidentally stepped on Pau Gasol's foot, causing him to be injured by Pachuria, and the old injury recurred, and he had to end tonight's game early.
This time, no one came forward to say that the rocket was dirty.
Because the slow motion shows that Bynum accidentally stepped on Gasol's foot, and the Rockets, led by Da Yao, gradually chased the score disadvantage.
At this time, the Black Mamba fell into a strange circle of singles again, shooting 2 of 6 in the single quarter, 1 of 2 three-pointers, 1 of 2 free throws, and only 6 points and 2 rebounds.
Yao Ming played dominant statistics in the quarter when Bynum was off, shooting 5 of 5 in a single quarter, 3 of 3 free throws, and cutting down 13 points and 4 rebounds.
Brooks, who was silent for half the court, also returned like a hero, shooting 3 of 5 in a single quarter, 2 of 2 three-pointers, scoring 8 points, and injecting fuel into the Rockets' take-off with Yao Ming.
At 26:18, just after the third quarter, the Rockets overtook their opponents by 70:69, a one-point advantage.
Phil Jackson's lack of on-the-spot command has once again been revealed, and while Adelman on the other side is no better, the momentum has now shifted to the Rockets.
In the crucial fourth quarter, the two sides were locked in a fierce battle.
Bryant and Artest continued their passionate collision in the first two games, and neither side was able to be the team's scoring point.
This is undoubtedly beneficial to the Rockets, abolishing Artay, Da Yao and Brooks are still the first and second scoring points in the team, but after the Lakers lost Kobe, it was equivalent to the Lakers losing the first scoring point on the court.
In the fourth quarter of G7, the two sides fought until the last moment.
At 88:89, with the Houstonians still one point behind, Brooks stepped up again, and after Battier sent the sideline ball, he neither gave the ball to Yao Ming, nor passed it to Artest, who was relatively better positioned, but shot directly against Jordan Farmar's defense.
"Brush!"
Hurry up and make a sharp three-point, and the red indicator lights up the moment before the ball goes in.
Goals count!
At 91:89, the Rockets narrowly defeated the Lakers by two points and successfully advanced to the Western Conference finals, while last year's Western Conference champion Lakers ended their 08-098 season in disbelief.
After the game, Kobe Bryant refused any interview, he never imagined that his season full of revenge and desperate to get his fourth ring would end like this.
However, Kehei was not ready to let him go like this, and someone immediately tweeted: "Last year, a certain poisonous snake robbed the MVP of the Celestial Empire, and this year he was defeated by another Celestial Empire!"
This is definitely not the Celestial Empire, otherwise it should be said: "Heaven is good for reincarnation, who will be spared by the sky!"
