MVP - MostValuablePlayer, as the name suggests, the most valuable player. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 The INFO award has always been the most important and valuable award in the NBA.

To elaborate, the MVP is also divided into regular season MVP, All-Star MVP and Finals MVP (ABA has also had playoff MVP awards in history, which was eliminated in 1976 with the merger of the leagues.) Winners include superstars such as Dr. J and Gilmore Gilmore), where All-Stars are entertainment and have little value, but the regular season and Finals MVPs are a great compliment to star evaluations.

On May 4, 2004, before the opening game of the Rockets' home game against the Lakers, league president David Brown. Stern personally came to the scene for Rockets superstar Tracy. McGrady presented his first career regular season MVP trophy. His 25th birthday is just 20 days away, and the young superstar has won the MVP trophy early and is on the pinnacle of his career.

(Quick Knowledge: When it comes to the selection of regular season MVPs, in addition to the two major elements of team record and personal data, we should also consider some topical topics at the time.) In 06 years, Nash's personal data and record were lower than Nowitzki's, but due to the injury of Nash's teammate Stoudemire, Lao Gin led the team to a good record without star support, received a large number of sympathy votes, and finally succeeded in winning MVP. Judging from the situation in this book, Maddie's data is excellent, the Rockets have a good record, and they have turned from a team outside the playoff circle to the first in the league in two years, and the topic is also very strong. So Maddie's election is a matter of great expectation. ）

Through the last game, Tomjanovic knew very well that the guard line formed by Maddy and Billups against the Lakers was quite reliable, and the winner and loser were on the inside. If the Rockets don't lose against the Shark Postman's superstar duo, they can win the game. However, the Rocket's interior ability is still insufficient, and he can only discharge Yao Bo and Wang Ao's four-person rotation, which depends on other players to help the inside players fill the hole.

The Zen master also knows that the Lakers' advantage is on the inside. The immature Yao Ming can't defeat the sharks who have just reached the decline period, and the newcomer Bosh can't fight against Ma Long. He also laid out a strategy to focus on the inside.

Contrary to the expectations of the two coaches, both sides focused on the inside line at the beginning, and you played back and forth to 17-15, and the new MVP couldn't bear it and suddenly broke out. first shook off Kobe Bryant and pulled out three points, then assisted his teammates one after another, and broke through Fox to dunk directly, and the Rockets overtook the score in one fell swoop. In the last second, Maddie made a crazy three-pointer to the whistle, contributing 12+3+4 in the first quarter, most of which came from the second half, and the Rockets led 23:31.

The Lakers tried to launch a counterattack in the second quarter under the leadership of Kobe, Kobe beat Maddy and made 2 fouls in a row, and Tang Shuai hurriedly let Maddy go to rest. But the Lakers pressed the gourd to float the scoop, Maddie went down to rest, and Billups drove it again. Chauncy hit a three-point jumper and then assisted Wang Zhizhi and Oku to hit three-point shots in a row, leading the Rockets to a wave of three-point rain. And Turkoglu was still rubbing salt in his wounds, and he also hit a three-pointer at the end of the second quarter. At 46:61, the score difference is getting wider and wider.

At the end of the second quarter, Yuan Fei whispered to Tang Shuai for a long time, and Lao Tang decisively followed his advice. After the third quarter of the battle, Lao Tang did not hesitate to announce a new tactic and use Jordan's rule against Kobe!

(Quick fact: Jordan's rule was the Pistons' defensive strategy against Jordan's Bulls in the '80s.) It is divided into two: one is to defend Jordan to death; The second is to let go of Jordan to defend the other players of the Bulls)

The pistons of the year had Joe. Dumas is a talented defensive specialist, and the Rockets also have Maddy, a superstar defensive player (Maddie was stuck in the second half of his career and was very lazy defensively). Maddie didn't hesitate to take on the responsibility of defending Kobe.

In the third quarter, Malone finally couldn't bear it anymore. He beat Bosh and grabbed three more rebounds, making two of them. Bosh, on the other hand, won with skill, pulling Malone beyond the free throw line to create space for his teammates to break through, and Maddy took advantage of the situation to break through multiple times to disrupt the Lakers' defensive line. In addition to Maddie's excellent defense, there is also a focus on the inside to take care of the defense, and other outside players also harass Kobe from time to time, making it difficult for Kobe to shoot, and only scored 2 points on 1 of 3 shots in this section. The Lakers barely recovered a little bit in this quarter, 70-84.

In the fourth quarter, the Rockets style turned, Jordan's Law 2.0 version, and Kobe Bryant was put to prevent F3. The opponent in front of Kobe Bryant became Reid, who had a mediocre defensive level, and Kobe Bryant was so happy that he immediately reached out for the ball. And the Rockets went around to cut off Kobe's passing route.

"Hmph, you want to cut off my pass? I'm going to make a layup myself! Kobe Bryant freehand made a feint to pass Reed, pretending to release the ball in the dribble, but in fact, he collected the ball and then dribbled away Yao Ming, but in the end, the layup hit was slightly unbalanced and missed.

"This goal is so exciting, if you can score it, it will be the top ten goals of the day!" CCTV's commentator Zhang Weiping commented.

But Tang Shuai and Yuanfei laughed, just to ask Kobe to fight like this. The third quarter provoked his fighting spirit, and the fourth quarter plunged him into the desert of individual singles, this is the application of Jordan's rule!

Kobe Bryant hit a series of singles, and he made 2 of 6 shots in the first half quarter. Thanks to O'Neal's stable performance, he made consecutive shots to narrow the difference. Last 5 minutes 90:98.

The Zen master finally couldn't bear it anymore and called a timeout, and scolded Kobe Bryant: "Every player has to play tactics seriously for me when he plays, and if you want to play a hero alone, you will be calm and calm on the bench if you want to sit on the bench more!" ”

(Note: The relationship between Kobe Bryant and the Zen master was very tense in '04.) The Zen master's daughter was sexually assaulted in college, and Kobe Bryant was deeply involved in the Eagle County sexual assault case in the 03-04 season, which caused the Zen master to have a certain prejudice against Kobe. After the relationship between the two eased)

The competitive Kobe Bryant really listened patiently. He stopped a single from Maddy when he came on the court, and O'Neal also interfered with Yao Ming's rebound, and the Lakers defended this offense. Attacking Kobe Bryant was not strong, and after attracting the help defense, he gave O'Neal an assist. After the two succeeded, they high-fived, and they were only 6 points apart!

Billups immediately assisted Yao Mingzhong on a shot. The Lakers once again handed over the relatively large Malone to single Bosh, but Bosh did his best to defend this ball. Bryant grabbed the rebound in the front court and made up for it, narrowing the 94-100 gap to 6 points again.

MVP woke up, Maddie took over the game again, he made Kobe Bryant foul 4 free throws in a row, and made O'Neal foul to play 2+1. With less than 1 minute left at 96:107 after the free throw, the Rockets sealed the win early.

O'Neal contributed 25+11, Malone also scored 20+11, and only Yao Ming got 18+10 double-doubles. But the Rockets won as one, Maddy 8 rebounds, Billups 5 rebounds, Oku 8 rebounds, Wang Zhizhi 5 rebounds, Bosh 5 rebounds, and finally the Rockets won the Lakers 8 rebounds. This was a real surprise for Lao Tang.

As for Maddie? 29+8+10 is a normal level of performance for Xinke MVP. If Maddie wants to prove his MVP qualities, Kobe Bryant will continue to fight with him as a litmus test.
