Chapter 295: The Second Round Begins

The Bobcats are the team that worries them the most right now because of their playoff experience. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Speaking to reporters after the team advanced to the second round, James said: "They're strong, they're the regular season champions this season. And their core player, Jack Chan, has a Finals experience, which is pretty scary. ”

James is definitely not a person who likes to pick saliva, but his dislike for Chen Mo has gone deep into the bone marrow. And now, as long as the media talks about the Bobcats vs. the Heat, it must mention that the Heat were killed and swept by the Bobcats four times in the regular season, and every time such a remark gets into James's ears, it is like a slap in the face.

Therefore, when the reporter asked about the second round of the game, James impulsively said very sarcastic words to Chen Mo.

Such remarks naturally got into Chen Mo's ears, and the next day Thomas, the little broadcaster of the Bobcats, told Chen Mo this sentence, and Chen Mo just laughed it off.

And he deliberately avoided interviews with reporters during this week, he didn't want to have too much entanglement with reporters, he needed to maintain the most peaceful heart and the most focused state to face every next game.

The Bobcats and Heat will have to wait another week because the Celtics, Lakers, Spurs, and Mavericks are all in a tough battle with their opponents.

Because the game between the Bobcats and the Heat is still a bit far away, everyone's eyes are naturally on those old powerhouses.

Among them, the Lakers, Celtics, and Mavericks all won the battle of Tianwang Mountain at home, and their promotion should not be a problem. But the Spurs, the team that beat the defending champion to become the first team in the West in the regular season, seems to have a good chance of being blacked out.

They lost one home and then two more away games, returning to San Antonio 3-1 on aggregate, and won the fifth game thanks to Duncan Sr.'s hard-fought performance, and the next away game was very important for them, and this game was also dubbed "the battle of the catastrophe" by Chinese fans. The Spurs' game against the Grizzlies has become one of the most intriguing games of the first round right now.

But before the Spurs' battle of the Catastrophe, the man who had disappeared from everyone's sight for a few days said that he had to come back and grab a wave of cameras.

As a man who is always active in the headlines of mainstream sports media, Chen Mo has a buff that attracts attention, and naturally he will not disappear in the news for a long time because he actively avoids the media.

In fact, it was not because Chen Mo did anything by himself, but because the NBA officially announced the attribution of the major awards in the regular season.

The most improved player was unsurprisingly won by Chen Mo, and the best rookie was Blake Griffin, who was counted as this year's rookie because Griffin was reimbursed last season.

Howard, who averaged 14.1 rebounds and 2.4 blocks per game, was unsurprisingly named the Defensive Player of the Year for the third time in a row.

The best coach was won by Thibodeau of the Chicago Bulls.

In addition, Chen Mo was successfully selected for the first team, but Chen Mo of the best defensive team was missing.

The next most eye-catching thing is naturally the ownership of the regular season MVP, in fact, 9 percent of the media have speculated that the regular season MVP will belong to Chen Mo. The suspense is just what kind of score Chen Mo will be elected. This season's assist king, as well as the all-time best assist king in a single season, and the player who led the team to 68 wins, would be unreasonable if he didn't win the MVP.

The candidate for MVP, not surprisingly, is Chen Mo.

And when the NBA officially announced the details of the ballot, everyone was still taken aback.

Chen Mo was elected with 130 first votes, just one vote short of the unanimous vote. Chen Mo is the second person to achieve this record, the first being Shaq O'Neill in 2000.

Chen Mo's final score was 1,307 points, and he received 130 first-place votes and 1 second-place vote. In second place was Derrick Rose with 637 points, and James in third with 631 points.

There is a lot of speculation that if it weren't for Chen Mo, this season's MVP would probably be given to Rose.

In other words, Chen Mo's rise makes him the youngest MVP in NBA history instead of Rose.

And from a matter of fact, after Chen Mo's crazy rise, the person who lost the most was Rose.

His All-Star starting position this season was squeezed out by Chen Mo, and the first team was also lost because of Chen Mo, and the MVP he might get was also taken away by Chen Mo.

The MVP's awards are scheduled before the first game between the Bobcats and the Heat.

And after the news was announced, Ross posted on social networks that he was wearing a T-shirt with the words "I am the MVP" printed on it.

Chen Mo didn't want to pay attention to it, but the private messages given to him by his fans on social networking sites almost blew Chen Mo's mobile phone to death.

In addition, Falke also called Chen Mo and told him that it was best to respond on social networking sites. This is a great time to increase fan cohesion.

Chen Mo thought for a while, and then updated a status.

"There is still one vote left behind the first place ballot, which is a bit unsatisfactory. Thank you to my teammates, thank you to the coach, thank you to the boss, thank you to the fans, I will work harder next season and I will better get a good MVP. In addition, some fans want me to shoot more three-pointers next season and make more than 400 three-pointers in a single season. I've never thought much of this record, and if I did, it would make it 500+. ”

This season, Chen Mo hit 395 three-pointers, which is actually breaking the NBA regular season three-point shooting record. Prior to that, the most single-season three-point attempts in NBA history was Ray Allen's 269 in the SuperSonics in '05-06.

Chen Mo has increased this number by 126, but this is obviously not to the limit of Chen Mo, and naturally many fans hope that Chen Mo can increase this number to more.

Chen Mo's state was instantly reprinted and liked by many people, and his fans were naturally willing to see Chen Mo respond to Ross like this.

Since Ross started the All-Star voting, he has always had a sour heart towards Chen Mo.

Almost as soon as Chen Mo's status was released, Ross simultaneously released a status.

"I really hope to meet Charlotte Bobcats in the Eastern Conference Finals, it's a matchup I'm looking forward to. ”

Even before the second round began, Rose was already looking forward to a meeting in the division finals, which shows how bad his mental state is right now.

And Chen Mo didn't tear up with James before the second round, but tore up with Rose first. But it doesn't matter, after all, their goal is to reach the Finals, and the Chicago Bulls are also the opponents they must overcome before then.

Time flew by quickly, and when the Spurs lost 91-99 to the Grizzlies on April 29 and failed to bring the game back to the AT&T arena in San Antonio, they became the backdrop for the fourth Black Eight Miracle in NBA history. It is the second division champion to be eliminated in the first round of the NBA playoffs after the first round was changed to a best-of-seven system. The last time they were eliminated was the Dallas Mavericks, who lost to the Warriors who were put into the playoffs by themselves.

The Memphis Grizzlies' Black Eight Miracle brought the first round of the NBA's 2010-2011 playoffs to a close, and the second-round matchups were all in place.

The two matchups in the West are Lakers vs. Mavericks and Thunder vs. Grizzlies. The two games in the East are the Bulls vs. Celtics and the Bobcats vs. the Heat.

Among them, the Mavericks and Lakers won two games in a row after 2-2, and eliminated their opponents with a total score of 4-2 respectively.

These two veteran teams have met, and I believe there will be a lot to watch, whether the defending champions have any hope of defending the title, this round of the series is crucial.

In addition, the Thunder is 4-1 to advance, and the Grizzlies have already mentioned before, they have created a great Black Eight Miracle, but whether they can go further, they still need to withstand the test of the Thunder's group of young people.

Of the four teams in the Eastern Conference semifinals, three advanced comfortably. It remains to be seen whether the Bobcat is really as many media have said, and Toda has chosen a strong opponent for himself.

The Celtics, who have a big three, are indeed more worrying, they played very well in the regular season, and a wave of consecutive wins allowed them to avoid a first-round battle with the Magic hard steel, but after entering the playoffs, their performance was very difficult.

The Celtics looked very embarrassed in the two games in Atlanta, and will they be able to win the championship after a 4-3 run all the way to the championship like they did in their championship season?

The first game day of the second round of the game was on May 1, and there was a game in each of the east and west divisions on that day, in which the Bobcats vs. the Heat were the focus of the battle, and the other game was the Thunder vs. Grizzlies.

On April 30, Chen Mo took Ajiali home at the airport.

"Why are you here again. Chen Mo said helplessly: "I don't have much time to accompany you." ”

Jessica will accompany you in the first round, I'll accompany you in the second round, the divisional finals will give you a break, and the two of us will come together in the finals, how about it?"

Chen Mo rolled her eyes and said, "It seems that you are very familiar with her." ”

Ajiali stroked the hair of her sideburns and smiled proudly: "You're right, we are really familiar." She just took over the New York tournament recently, and the sponsor is my dad. In addition, at the scene of the event, she will cosplay the hero of the Picheng policewoman, and I planned the activities involving cos that day, and I talked to her for a long time. ”

Chen Mo wasn't curious about what the two of them would talk about at all, he just felt tired.

"Whatever you want!" is handsome and always teased, Chen Mo really has little experience in dealing with women, he can only charge with a gun.

Ajiali covered her mouth and smiled: "We have a good relationship, if you can make it to the finals, I will form a cheerleading team for you, and I guarantee that you are very satisfied." ”

Chen Mo didn't say much, he silently went to the kitchen to prepare dinner, Ajiali is another woman who is obsessed with hot pot, among the reasons why she came here this time, hot pot is a very important one.

Leeks come on, coriander increases desire, and the picture in the bathroom after the hot pot is simply not daring to look at it directly.

Because there was a competition the next day, Chen Mo was more restrained, but he still worked diligently until Labor Day.

Chen Mo got up early in the morning to go to morning exercises, he prepared bread for Agali, and also left her a ticket for tonight's game on the table.

There were no games for a week, the Bobcats had a very good rest, and the coaching staff had studied the Heat very thoroughly.

The Heat's strength lies in the strength of their Big Three, while their weakness lies in their lack of bench depth and weakness in the No. 1 position.

In the regular season, the biggest problem for the Heat in the face of the Bobcats is the loopholes in the two bottom corners, in the face of the Bobcats' small lineup's strong ability to drill the vacancy, Chen Mo's unpredictable passing, their back door is considered to be copied by the Bobcats.

The last time they met in the regular season, they had already found a rough way to deal with it. That is to use James to defend Chen Mo, and Wade to fill in the low post.

But the problem is that the Heat will naturally form three misalignments, James is a dislocation of advantages against Chen Mo, and Wade is a disadvantage to defend Gerard Wallace or Milicic. And if the Bobcats choose a regular lineup with a center, Bosh will have to grind with Kwame Brown, and if there is a small lineup without a center, Bosh will have to defend against Henderson or Jackson, which is not easy to guard.

In addition, if Chen Mo borrows the block to find the misalignment, he will definitely find Ilgoskas, with the lateral speed of Ilgoskas, he will be beaten into a sieve by Chen Mo.

Therefore, the Heat definitely don't have much chance to make a fuss on defense, and they have to make more fuss on offense.

Similar to the Heat's very troublesome Bobcats' offense, the Bobcats' offense against the Heat is also a headache.

The brainless fast break is definitely not good, and the connection between James and Wade is enough to blow everything up. If the brainless is fast, it is not difficult for the two of them to score 70 points together.

But falling into the position, James and Wade are two unsolvable points. When a team has at least two of them that can change the team's regular defensive formation, it's very difficult to deal with.

Jackson and Gerard Wallace's double ghost slam could seal one of the Big Three, but they have two more that strong for the Heat.

Therefore, this round of the series is still about the offensive efficiency of the two teams.

It can be said that no matter who is in the game, there is no certainty before the game.

The Bobcats have a bit of an edge in confidence, after all, they swept their opponents in the regular season. But who can say clearly about the playoffs?

Before the game, Heat head coach Spoisla directly showed weakness in front of the media, "They are strong, we were swept in the regular season, we will play the best of ourselves, do everything we have to do, it's enough." ”

Showing weakness before a game is a common tactic used by many coaches, which may make the opponent arrogant and underestimate the enemy, so as to take advantage of the game.

And Sloan seemed to have really been fooled, he said to reporters: "This is an opponent who has been swept by us, at least in terms of mentality, we have the advantage." I don't think the results of the playoffs will make much of a difference. ”

Sloan is very clear about the Heat's weakness, but the Heat can show weakness, but he can't. He has a lot of young players in his squad and they need confidence, and it's very unwise to show weakness without a fight to undermine the confidence of your own team. (To be continued.) )
