In the sixth game of the Celtics' home game, Yao Ming went crazy at the beginning, and hit consecutive turnaround jumpers in the low post.

The data has dropped, the efficiency has not dropped, and Yao Ming's shooting touch is still there. The Celtics were forced to let Garnett defend Yao Ming, Yao Ming passed, and Jamison and Mo Williams on the perimeter played a blocking and pick-and-roll cooperation, tearing apart the Celtics' defense by breaking through and misalignment.

McBrown only arranged for James to drop the ball to Yao Ming on the side, and then with Anthony? Parker waits for a three-point chance on the side. In the first two games, James made a lot of mistakes and was counterattacked by opponents, and now after the tactical adjustment, his mistakes have also decreased.

In the end, the Cavaliers successfully defeated the Celtics 105-94, and the overall score was 3-3.

Yao Ming had 24 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks. Jamison had 18 points and eight rebounds. James contributed a triple-double of 23 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists.

The Cavaliers won on rebounding, and the Celtics had the league's lowest rebounding this season, and they didn't protect the basket enough, bringing in Rashid? Wallace is also a master who is not good at grabbing rebounds. On the other hand, the Cavaliers are all rebounding masters on the inside, even if they are not masters, they are also masters.

Back at home, the Cavaliers defeated the Celtics 98-93 in a tiebreaker to eliminate their opponents 4-3 and enter the Eastern Conference Finals.

Yao Ming, Jamison, and James are still the keys to winning. James has an elbow injury, reduced his shots, is very active on the defensive end, passes the ball to his teammates, and his defense of Pierce is also a big reason for the win. The Celtics are out of the tournament for the second season in a row.

Zhou Xuan called to congratulate Yao Ming, of course, he wanted to be optimistic about his buddy winning the championship more than the Lakers.

This season's All-Defensive Team, All-Defensive Team, Rookie Team and other honors were also awarded.

LeBron? James and Dwight? Howard received a perfect score in the poll, while Kobe? Bryant, Kevin? Durant and Dwayne? Wade was also able to enter the All-NBA First Team by an absolute landslide.

Second lineup Cameron? Anthony, Dirk? Nowitzki, Amal? Stoudemire, Steve? Nash, Delon? Williams.

Third line-up: Tim? Duncan, Paul? Gasol, Andrew? Boggart, Joe? Johnson, Monta? Ellis.

Ellis was named to the All-Star team for the first time, and he's really played well this season. After not making the playoffs for two years in a row, Paul was finally defeated. There were three inside linemen in the third line, which was a little controversial, but the fans just watched it.

The Defensive Player of the Year was won by Howard. Landry, who moved to the Kings from the Rockets, took the Sixth Man of the Year. The Most Improved Player award was won by the Rockets' Aaron? Brooks gets. Best Rookie is Kings Tyrek? Evans, he averaged 20+5+5 per game, and his all-round level was comparable to James in his rookie season.

All-Defensive Team Howard, Gerrard? Wallace, James, Bryant, and Rondo were selected for a while.

Duncan, Yao Ming, Josh? Smith, Sephorosa and Wade were selected for the second team.

Yao Ming's selection to the defensive lineup for the first time in his career was a highlight. His defense in the restricted area is really not bad, relying on his huge body to interfere with the opponent's shot, even if it can't be covered, he can force the opponent to dodge and play.

The Cavaliers are among the top three in the league in defensive stats this season, and Yao Ming has been instrumental as a starting center, and although his movement speed has been criticized, people have finally recognized his ability, and he is also ranked fifth in the Best Defensive Player Awards.

On May 18, the Lakers vs. the Suns, Zhou Xuan and his new coach D'Antoni met again.

D'Antoni wanted to watch the game between the Suns and the Lakers, so he came to Los Angeles and called Zhou Xuan by the way to see how he was recovering from his injury. Zhou Xuan invited him to meet at Mitchell's house and cook himself.

This is Mitchell's suggestion, there will be fans asking for autographs when you go out to eat, and it is not good for Zhou Xuan's legs, it is better to meet at home and be quiet.

D'Antoni has a good appetite and also loves Chinese food. After tasting Zhou Xuan's craftsmanship, he smiled and said, "I have long heard that you like to cook, and it is really extraordinary to taste it." ”

"I have a lot of hobbies." Zhou Xuan said proudly.

"Will your legs be fully recovered during the training camp?"

"Surely." Zhou Xuan smiled.

"That's good, it's smart that you chose to go to Phoenix for surgery, I'm really afraid that you won't be able to play in the new season." D'Antoni laughed.

Zhou Xuan thought about it and decided to say what he thought. D'Antoni is too stubborn in some ways, and he always wants to run away.

"Coach, I can play fast-paced and I can settle for positional battles, that's easy to say. The problem is that the Knicks' current lineup is not very suitable, the interior speed is not very fast, and will Harrington renew his contract? Zhou Xuan asked.

"Do you think the Knicks are playing and shooting right now?"

Zhou Xuan said: "I think the Knicks should strengthen their defense. The Warriors have had a long losing streak this season, either because we have problems with the offense, or because we don't defend, Anthony (Randolph) has great quality, but the low post defense is very poor, I watched a few Knicks games, on the surface he can score, but the person who actually withstands the opponent's offense is Milicic. As long as Maddie is on the perimeter, the defense drops a notch, and it's almost impossible to win. Corunna (Azubuuk) and Toni (Douglas) did a lot better. ”

D'Antoni frowned, he had always been obsessed with running and bombing, and he had paid the price for it, and he still had no regrets.

Looking back on 2008, when D'Antoni first came to New York, the first thing he wanted to convince others was to make the center at the time, Eddie? Curry was on the pitch. Why didn't he let Nate? Robinson to the center? It's not defensive, but it's incredibly fast.

Whether the material in his hand was potatoes or tomatoes, D'Antoni didn't care. He doesn't care about Curry's fat frame, questionable professionalism, or fat man's penchant for slow offense and defense. In D'Antoni's world, as long as you don't follow his way, no matter how you do it, no matter how you do it, any other way will be regarded as a provocation.

D'Antoni's wisdom as a coach shouldn't have been questioned, and the guy had a 267-172 record before coming to New York. Achievements are achievements, but his stubbornness is another matter.

"You think my system is bad?" D'Antoni asked.

He wanted to cultivate Zhou Xuan into a core like Nash, but he didn't want to cause any disagreements. Next season is his best chance to prove himself, and if he doesn't make the playoffs, he'll have to go.

"It's not bad, it's flawed. I think the good play of the Suns back then had a lot to do with the defensive players on the team. Right now, the Knicks are short of defensive players. I've been teammates with Sean [Marion], he's been a big role on the defensive end, Jackson is good defensively, and the Warriors can't do it this year because of the two of them leaving. Of course, that includes me. I'm confident that I'm better defensively than Rondo, and it's a shame that guy was selected to defend for a while. ”

"You want the team to bring in defensive players in the summer, right?" D'Antoni smiled, feeling that Zhou Xuan was a bit of a big name. "When Nash was in the Suns, he wouldn't talk to me about who he wanted to be his teammate."

Zhou Xuan disagreed, and said with a smile: "I have already won the championship, and now the only goal is to win the championship again, not the playoffs." If you want to win the championship, of course you need a lineup that can win the championship, and I am good at analyzing, and I will say what comes to mind. Coach, we are now in the same boat, sharing honor and disgrace, will my proposal still harm you? If the Knicks are made into another Suns, they will just go through the playoffs. Now that both teams in the East have a Big Three, and both the Cavaliers and Celtics are very protective and defence-oriented, can we win on offense? ”

"Of course I know that, but it's hard to find players who defend well. Can I tell you a little bit of the insider, in the summer we are ready to chase Amare? Studamayre, when you play pick-and-roll with him, three pitchers on the outside are very strong. I need you to do as well as Nash. ”

"I'm definitely better than Nash, I'm a lot better defensively than him, and I'm younger, so as long as my legs are okay, I'm fine with breakouts." Zhou Xuan said with a smile. He sighed inwardly. Isn't this still the sun's set? But it doesn't hurt to yourself, Stodameyer is very powerful. Looking at the attack power and impact power, there are few people in the alliance who are stronger than him. Zhou Xuan can't object to this trade, he hasn't played a game for the Knicks, he has no status, and now it's impossible to convince D'Antoni, not to mention that Xiao Si has a relationship with D'Antoni? The only problem for Stoudamire is that the offense is strong and the defense is weak, but the Knicks should have no problem making the playoffs next season, and as long as the two of them are there, it will be difficult to deal with.

He and Nash are completely different personalities, so it's no wonder that he won the All-Star Game and the Finals MVP in his rookie season. D'Antoni thought to himself. He had a high opinion of Zhou Xuan, and at this moment he also felt a domineering spirit from Zhou Xuan.

Nash obeys the arrangement and will not contradict the coach, and some thoughts will be hidden in his heart. Like when the Suns brought in O'Neal, Nash didn't say anything. Change tactics and he will play as required.

What about Zhou Xuan? D'Antoni guessed that if O'Neill were to be brought in, he would have stood up against it. What is not good for the team, he dares to speak.

People with such a personality are more like leaders, and they can also hold people in the locker room. Instead of being angry, D'Antoni liked Zhou Xuan more. Zhou Xuan also guessed some things to behave like this, the Knicks spent so much money to poach him, by no means to let him be a role player, but to train him to be the first core. In DeAni's system, the point guard has always been the centerpiece.

D'Antoni asked: "We traded David Lee and Curry out, and you don't have two helpers, will you feel sorry?" ”

"I don't regret it at all, especially David Lee, thank God for sending him away." Zhou Xuan said with a smile.

"Huh?"

"Without him, where did I play super stats last season? This dude will make the opponent very happy when he defends, and I'm going to go crazy if I am a teammate. Curry and I overlapped positions, went up and defended together, and then we were gone. ”

"Ha Luha, I'm relieved when you say that."
