Johnson ran to the stands to make sure Fisher's shot had run out of time, and finally came back with his head in frustration.

Fisher used the same way Curry Sr. killed them last year.

The Mavericks, who lost, lost to the Lakers in F4.

Although the 3-4 score showed that there was not much difference in the strength of the two teams, and Fisher's final killer shot had a lot of luck, the Mavericks still lost.

Their quest to defend their title came to an abrupt end.

Sun Hao's expression was also full of helplessness.

No matter how much he can toss, he can't run to play inside.

And he also knows why the historical Lakers were able to reach the Finals.

Even with their internal contradictions, they were able to defeat most of their opponents by virtue of their talent alone.

If it weren't for that Pistons, the Lakers would have won the championship that year.

The game was over, and the fans cheered the Mavericks players with applause and cheers.

The Mavericks responded with their hands outstretched.

Losing is not the end of the world.

They also kept losing before last season.

It's a big deal, just win it back next season.

And knowing where to lose, targeted reinforcement, the chance of winning back is not small.

Johnson's mood looked depressed.

He was hell-bent on proving himself, but unfortunately he didn't succeed in the end.

After Sun Hao read it, he went over to comfort him a few words.

It's good for a rookie coach to be able to get the team to this point.

And after this defeat, Johnson should know that his stubborn character is not a good thing, and he should also find some shortcomings in his tactics.

I believe that next season, he will make some changes.

That's how the saying that failure is the mother of success comes from.

"It's frustrating not to be able to defend your title, but we'll win it back soon, and what doesn't beat you will make you stronger."

At the press conference after the game, Sun Hao was loud.

No one thought what he said was arrogant or anything, because he had done it before.

Of course, although Sun Hao said so, the complaints of fans in the forum after the game are indispensable.

"Hurry up and get the old Nelson back, I'm really tired of Johnson's misplaced singles!"

"Johnson is better suited to be an assistant coach than a head coach, and the Mavericks are all up to Son and Dirk this season!"

"I'm a Chinese fan, I think what you said is right, there is a book called "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in our country, if the old Nelson is compared to Zhuge Liang, then Johnson is Ma Yan."

"Johnson is too immature after all, I don't think he's a capable coach, but he's clearly not a good fit for the Mavericks team right now."

"Old Nelson, come back quickly, we are all waiting for you!"

……

Obviously, the blame for the fans' loss lies with Johnson.

On the second day, a reporter threw these comments to Sun Hao.

"Avery is a very talented coach, he contributed a lot to the team in the series that beat the Spurs last year, and he led us to a great result this past season, and it's not one person's responsibility, it's all of us."

Sun Hao defended Johnson in front of reporters.

Until Nelson Sr. returns, no one is better suited to the Mavericks than Johnson.

What he hoped for was the same as he had thought before, that Johnson would be able to rise up and prove himself again after his defeat.

Of course, that's all for next season.

At least after the loss, the upcoming draft and offseason will be important.

……

The Western Conference semifinals between the Mavericks and the Lakers played vigorously.

By the time they finished their seven games, the remaining sets of games had already been played.

On the Western side, the Timberwolves also beat the Spurs 4-3 in seven games to advance to the Western Conference finals.

It was also the first time in their history that they had reached the Western Conference Finals.

Garnett, who has been mired in 58 terriers in the past two years, can be said to have really raised his eyebrows this season.

In this way, the two sides of the Western Conference finals are also determined, the Lakers vs the Timberwolves.

With both sides playing seven games in the semi-finals, and luckily no one will miss out due to injury, this Western Conference final will surely be a sparkling game.

In the East, the Pacers also beat the Nets 4-3 and after seven games.

The two teams played very fiercely, but the game scene was not too good.

According to fans, Stern was shown in the opening game of the series opener, but has not been seen since.

On the other side, the Pistons beat the Wizards 4-2.

Although Yao Ming has a big advantage in the confrontation with Big Ben, Arenas is not Jordan after all, and he has not yet reached his personal peak.

And Anthony, who was sluggish in the first round, broke his rookie wall in this round.

In six games, he averaged 19.6 points per game and shot 44 percent from the field.

This performance made Detroit fans optimistic about the team's prospects again.

As a result, the two teams that had a strong smell of gunpowder in the regular season met in the Eastern Conference Finals.

On one side is the evolved version of the Pacers led by Carlisle, and on the other side is the Pistons Six Tigers led by Brown.

In terms of excitement alone, the East Finale may be even more interesting than the Western Final.

Before that began, though, the league announced the attribution of the third batch of awards.

All-Star Team, as well as MVP.

Best Defensive Team: Bale, Kobe, Artest, Garnett, Ben Wallace;

Best Defensive Second Team: Kidd, Bowen, Kirilenko, Duncan, Yao Ming;

Going one step further, Bale has finally entered the first team this year after being selected for the second team last year.

Yao Ming was selected for the defensive team for the first time.

Best Team for a while: Sun Hao, Kobe, Garnett, Duncan, O'Neal;

Second Team of the Year: Kidd, Maddy, Peja, O'Neal Jr., Big Ben;

Three best teams: Reed, Kassel, Artest, Nowitzki, Yao Ming;

Compared with last season, the competition for the best team can be said to be more intense.

Nowitzki was forced into three by O'Neill Jr.

And from this, it can also be seen that the pattern of the east being strong and the west being weak is changing.

Of course, the most important thing is that Sun Hao, in the fourth year of his career, was selected for the best team for the first time!

For him, this is definitely a big breakthrough in personal honor.

After the All-Star team, the announcement was followed by the honor that all fans paid the most attention to, the regular season MVP.

In the end, Garnett was elected the regular season MVP for the first time in his career with nearly 35% of the votes!

This past season, he averaged 24.2 points, 13.9 rebounds, 5 assists, 1.5 steals, 2.2 blocks per game, and only 2.6 turnovers.

And he's shooting 50.5 percent from the field, which is an excellent statistic for a power forward.

It is no exaggeration to say that Garnett's performance this year can really be described as perfect.

In addition, the Timberwolves' record this year is the first in the West, and this MVP can be said to be well deserved.

However, he did not win easily.

The second MVP was Sun Hao, who received more than 28% of the vote.

If it weren't for the Mavericks' regular season record loss, coupled with Garnett's perfect play, this MVP would be his.

In addition to that, both Duncan and O'Neal Jr. received close to 15 percent of the vote.

This can be said to be the most fierce and competitive in recent years.

While fans are still debating the results of these awards, the regional finals of the East and West have already begun.

In the East, the Pacers and Pistons gave fans a "you think this is a low score, but I can be lower" game.

72-67, both teams rebounded 40+ points, and only one person scored more than 20 points, Anthony on one side and O'Neal Jr.

It's a crazy game.

According to fans, Stern, who came to the scene, never appeared on the sidelines after watching half of the game.

In the Western Finals, the Lakers took a 97-88 lead.

O'Neal shot 9-of-16 from the field and 9-of-11 from the free-throw line to finish a team-high 27 points, 18 rebounds and 5 assists.

Bryant had a relapse and finished with 23 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists on 9-of-20 shooting.

I don't know what happened in the last two days, but the Lakers at least look a little more harmonious than they did in the semifinals.

Sun Hao, at this time, had already started special training with Nowitzki and Bell in the "Evolution House".

Although one of them is second in MVP and the other has just been selected for the defensive team, the quality of the season still pushes them to get stronger.

Sun Hao began to focus on improving his passing ability.

As his three-point threat grows, his passing will have to keep up.

At the very least, he'll have to work in the direction of a badge.

Bale, for his part, continued to build his defense.

On top of the best defensive team, there is also a best defensive player.

It's hard to get the best defense for an outside player, but you have to have a dream.

Moreover, the two little guys of Durant and Curry are running again.

What's more, they came together.

It seems that after training together last year, the two have formed a deep friendship.

At this time, the happiest person probably belongs to Sun Yue.

Sun Hao was right to let Baker take him out for a spin before, and after experiencing the whipping of society, Sun Yue can't wait to become stronger now.

These people from the Evolution House have a lot to learn.

Looking at Sun Yue, who was running here and greeting there, Sun Hao finally had a feeling that his efforts were rewarded.

Although Sun Yue was more of a "bear child" before, his personality was actually very extroverted.

That's why he's been able to get a ring with the Lakers in history.

With the strength of his history, it is not easy to stay in the team.

When Sun Hao's training was in full swing, the finals in the east and west also had results one after another.

In the West, the Timberwolves came back on fire in the second game, 89-71.

But after that they had a big problem.

One of their outside cores, Kassel, is injured.

Although he barely came back and played 26 minutes in the third game, he was directly reimbursed for the season after that.

This made a fundamental change in the series situation.

The Lakers eventually defeated the Timberwolves 4-2 to advance to the Finals.

Garnett's dream season ended in the divisional finals.

On the eastern side, the defensive battle on both sides made people really enthusiastic, and some people were drowsy.

The two sides played six games, with an average score of 70+ and a maximum of 85 points.

This can be regarded as an unprecedented "experience" for fans of both sides.

It's no wonder that Stern can't stand it.

This kind of game is indeed a bit low to watch.

In the end, it was the Pistons who were even stronger, defeating the Pacers 4-2 and advancing to the Finals.

In this way, the two sides of the Finals are also finalized, Pistons VS Lakers.

It's the same as the two sides in history.

When Sun Hao saw this result, he suddenly had a hunch that Anthony was likely to be at the peak of his debut.

After all, even if rookie Anthony is not as consistent as Hamilton, the bench Kobe Bryant's Pistons have one more Starker House.

"Dirk, let's go to Los Angeles and watch the game!"

Before the finals, Sun Hao greeted Nowitzki.

Nowitzki nodded without hesitation.

For him, being able to act with Sun Hao can do anything.

Of course, now they are different from before, and both of them go with their families.

Their appearance also attracted a burst of media attention.

The two are now the hottest twin stars in the alliance, and they both bring female companions, and there are a lot of gossip topics.

Before the start of the game, Sun Hao also opened a small bet with Nowitzki, betting on who can win, and those who lose will have supper after watching the game.

Nowitzki is optimistic about the Lakers, after all, F4, and also eliminated their team.

In fact, this is also the opinion of most of the media.

Just like last year, there's no reason why a team that comes out of the West can't win against a team in the East.

And they are different from Sun Hao's open-eyed, in their opinion, the Pistons are a real civilian team.

Except for Ben Wallace, who was selected as an All-Star this season, the rest are ordinary players, and the offensive core is just a rookie.

Sun Hao is naturally optimistic about the Pistons.

After the game started, the Pistons quickly surprised most people.

The Lakers, who defended them in a single quarter, scored just 17 points.

Not only was Kobe Bryant entangled by Prince to death, but even O'Neal couldn't play against the double Wallace on the inside.

Although, Anthony's play was not good, but Billups stepped up.

In the end, the Pistons defeated the Lakers 89-77 and won the first victory in the Finals.

Sun Hao won a supper for himself.

And after watching this game, he felt more and more that his previous judgment was right.

Because of this year's finals in history, FMVP is not Hamilton, it's Billups!

In other words, Hamilton, as the team's leading scorer, didn't play well in the finals.

Then after replacing Antonica Stark House, its impact is actually similar.

Even, it can be said that there is a high probability that it will be better.

In the second game, 95-90, the Pistons scored another game on the road.

In the third game, 88-68, the Pistons returned to their home court and directly broke the Lakers' mentality.

On June 13, in the face of the Lakers' final counterattack, the Pistons held their ground and defeated the opponent again 88-80, and the finals came to an end.

As a result, it was even more exaggerated than Sun Hao imagined.

The Pistons, it swept the Lakers directly......
