0616: [Playoffs]
The NBA's regular season MVP every season is a mouth-watering selection.
Because there are so many selection criteria, there are also many factors that can determine it.
This includes personal data, team records, teammates, height, weight, handsomeness, the number of times the photo has appeared in media headlines, and even whether or not it has received a "MVP" shout from an away crowd when a free throw.
Just like the annual Miss World selection, no matter who is chosen, someone will jump out and shout: Why not another person.
This year's situation is also complicated.
At the start of the season, LeBron James was unsurprisingly in the lead. His stats exploded, plus the team's record was in first place in the East.
However, after the All-Star break, the team's record plummeted, and the personal data also declined slightly.
At the same time, Li Zhen suddenly broke out. After winning the slam dunk king trophy, he was a different person on the offensive end, and he used to be very conservative in controlling his shots and shot selection. But now, he's the NBA's most unreasonable ball-handling offense.
The team's record also continued to climb in his crazy performances, and he struck the perfect balance with the team's rookie insiders.
The Knicks jumped from eighth in the East to second in the East.
After the All-Star break, they lost just 2 games in total.
This forced people to put him in the most prominent position.
Moreover, compared to last season. The Knicks' overall roster this year is younger, and the change is very thorough. In the first half of the year, he was able to lead the team to the top two, and his personal data has grown by leaps and bounds.
The selection of MVP is increasingly testing the fairness of the judges.
……
In fact, it is the selection of the best coaches that is also being put to the test.
Although Jamilin was the acting head coach, the team lost just one game after he took over Isaiah Thomas. He's got the league's best win percentage: You can't help but give him some credit for being able to take a team that lost a head coach to second place in the East.
But Jemilin's resume is too thin, and if he is suddenly given a trophy, it will seem childish.
As a result, some media outlets can only start talking. It is said that Isaiah Thomas left his successor with a perfect lineup and exquisite and gorgeous tactics.
The Knicks just need to follow the line set by Isaiah Thomas to be a superteam.
All of a sudden, the praise received by the Smiling Assassin came like a tidal wave.
Although he stepped down because of the scandal, his reputation was sublimated.
New York fans are deeply grateful to him, and many people even criticized it there: Why do you still have to put the gender card so dead in this era, people are free to fall in love, and what is it against. Isn't this the great love that Shakespeare sings about?
Perhaps Thomas himself could not have imagined that he could get so many voices of support from the Big Apple.
Jerry West was a little melancholy about this, and as a great trader, he was a little bit of a picker.
Moreover, deep down, he still disagrees with Isaiah Thomas!
……
The playoffs arrived as scheduled.
Derrick Rose will be the undisputed Rookie of the Year, who is already the brightest star of the Class of 2008 and has been praised by Adidas, and his commercials have been shown all over the world.
The name of Windy City Rose is getting louder and louder.
The Chicago Bulls also have some strong teams under his leadership.
They were aggressive and counter-attacking on the defensive foot.
However, their trip to Madison Gardens did not go smoothly at all.
Although Jack Lee kept declaring before the game that Derrick Rose was the best No. 1 position he had ever seen, in the game, Lao Lee's son still proved that his vision was problematic.
Derek Rose was restrained by Li Zhen.
Li Zhen is very good at defending speed guards, and when his bounce and talent are integrated, he has improved in an all-round way.
He was very good at dealing with Rose, who was not yet fully skilled.
Moreover, he also has a height advantage.
Rose, who is known for his explosiveness and bounce, was even attacked twice by Li Zhen when he rushed into the box alone.
When Rose's super engine was limited by Li Zhen, the Bulls' surging offense ran aground.
The Knicks entered the training mode, and Li Zhen continued to send shells to the restricted area to help Marc Gasol, Jordan Jr., and Yi Jianlian adapt to the atmosphere of the playoffs.
In the end, the top five newcomers in New York were fully trained and easily defeated the Bulls.
121:101。
There is no suspense about winning.
Spike Lee, a die-hard Knicks fan, triumphantly said after the game: "I was not even ready for it, and I was already in garbage time." ”
Such remarks are undoubtedly a stimulus for the young Chicago players.
So, in the second game they came back and showed more momentum.
However, they get even more vicious beatings!
It's good for young people to have momentum, but when you can't clearly judge the situation on the pitch, momentum can quickly become a double-edged sword that cuts your own veins, and the harder you try, the faster you lose blood.
This fully proves how valuable Li Zhen is.
As a young player, he can keep a cool head in the face of various adversities, and accurately analyze the opponent's loopholes, and then complete the key counterattack: this created the myth of the Knicks' counterattack back then.
And under normal circumstances, young and restless genius teenagers are hanged.
Stronger than Shackel O'Neal, hasn't he been shaved by the aging Olajuwon?
Derrick Rose now has the feeling of O'Neal's back then, obviously he is talented and has a unique impact.
However, Li Zhen can always defuse his attacks like a sponge, and wrap him in defense, leaving him with nowhere to go.
Before the game, the guys who claimed Rose was the Bruce finisher were no longer afraid to speak. Because of the current situation, Li Zhen is the Ross terminator!
The Bulls didn't get back into shape when they returned home, and the cheers of the home fans didn't change the Bulls' backwardness.
Because the newcomers of the Knicks are getting better and better.
Plus the consistent Li Zhen.
Derrick Rose was eliminated by the Knicks 123-99 on the night he lifted the Rookie of the Year trophy.
This is by no means a full stop for the young bulls.
However, they have to keep in mind the fact that the average Knicks are younger than the Chicago Bulls.
……
The Knicks were the first team to advance in the playoffs and eliminated their opponents with an average of 15.5 points per game.
They continued their invincibility after the All-Star break.
This puts a lot of pressure on the other teams in the east.
Especially the Cleveland Cavaliers, who are battling sixth in the East.
The nightmare of being swept away last season has been hanging in their minds, and they are starting to worry about it happening again.
Lately, a lot of voices have been circulating that LeBron's team is complaining about the team, and that he is likely to jump out of his contract in 2010 and leave his hometown where he was born and raised to help him become the Chosen One.
The Philadelphia 76ers, who are sixth in the East, are not for nothing.
In the playoffs last season, the Knicks eliminated Philadelphia in the first round, and even caused a dispute between the 76ers and the Cavaliers, and Cleveland thought Philadelphia was too weak and treated the game as child's play.
This year, they ran into it.
The Philadelphia Youth Army, led by Iguodala, fought extremely fiercely.
The most important thing is that Iguodala played fairly well in the regular season, but as soon as he met LeBron James, he broke out!
He actually played superbly, and even limited LeBron's play in the first game.
He wasn't so brave when he beat Li Zhen.
It was only in the last minute that Cleveland relied on a controversial penalty to hold on to the first home court: when James rushed into the box to shoot, the lights were already red, but the referee still made a valid decision.
Although the Philadelphia 76ers appealed many times, the league still upheld the original verdict.
In the second game, the 76ers played more vigorously.
The game went straight to overtime, but in the end, the Cavaliers won by experience.
But in the third and fourth games, the 76ers who returned to Philadelphia were not polite, and both games were won by difficulty.
As the Knicks go to rest from the fight, the Cleveland Cavaliers are in a heated up, and if nothing else, they could even play a full seven games.
In this way, no matter who ends up in the Eastern Conference semifinals, they will face a well-groomed and energetic Knicks.
The Celtics and Pistons are also in a scorching situation.
Although the Pistons have changed most of the time, they still maintain a good tenacity in the playoffs, and the two sides are currently tied 3-1, and the Celtics have the match point.
The Orlando Magic tied the Atlanta Hawks 1-3.
The Eagles' flying group posed a great threat to Orlando's semi-circle tactics, and the staggering athleticism of the forwards made Stan Van Gundy difficult to handle.
The point is that Swift continued to break out in a second spring after joining the Atlanta Flying Organization.
It's hard to believe that his IQ is among the best in the Eagles.
Moreover, after all, he is a person who has been ordered by Li Zhen. With the assistance of McBibby's lineage, the deer is really flying higher and higher.
Howard was having a hard time in this series.
Basically, there are no special cases.
The Eagles will cross the Magic hurdle this year and advance to the semifinals in a desperate battle against the Boston Celtics.
If there are no surprises, it will be another tie-break series.
When the playoff situation was so clearly laid out in front of him, Jerry West was overjoyed.
He thinks the team is so lucky that there won't be a luckier schedule than this. The top half of the tournament saw the Knicks enter the playoffs with a second-place finish in the regular season, avoiding all tough opponents and allowing their opponents to enter the fitness crisis first.
"Our chances of reaching the finals this year have increased dramatically!"
Jerry West excitedly reported to James Dolan.
James Dolan regained control of the team after Isaiah Thomas returned home.
But it seems that he is no longer so enthusiastic about basketball.
He has aged a lot.
If it weren't for the fact that the business couldn't be divided, he would have been sitting in federal court to fight a divorce lawsuit right now.
The adult world is too complicated. Many things are involuntary, he can't make decisions willfully, and he goes away with a person and ignores the world.
This is what he told Li Zhen 3 days ago: Don't get married! Don't get married! Don't get married!
Important things to say three times for the reason.
"Didn't we make it to the finals last year?" James Dolan asked flatly.
This embarrassed Jerry West.
He knew that Dolan was thinking of his ex again.
It's hard for him to explain to Dolan that the difficulty of the Knicks getting to the Finals this year is ...... different from how difficult it was to get to the Finals last year.
And even if it's made clear through a tirade.
People will also think that this is a team built by Isaiah Thomas himself. Jerry West is just a descendant!
It deepened Jerry West's idea of independence and autonomy, and he wanted to make this team better. He's going to make a better deal!
He has already begun to discuss this matter with Li Zhen.
He felt that the team needed to strengthen in which positions, which could be better, and which players overlapped...... He told Li Zhen all these thoughts.
However, Li Zhendu said to him: Don't worry, everything will fall into place.
Can Jerry West not be in a hurry?
No matter where the team goes now, it has nothing to do with him. From the boss to the fans, they are all missing the smiling assassin, he is very faceless!
……
Li Zhen doesn't know what Jerry West thinks, and he also has his own problems to headache now.
In March, he was already targeted by Swift...... Not Swift of Atlanta.
It's the country diva Taylor Swift.
She's been saying demagogic things on TV about how much she loves herself, and she can even give up her career for herself.
Moreover, she also got involved with Ms. Wang. When she walked on the red carpet one after another on Ms. Wang's brand, Li Zhen expected that things would not be so simple.
Sure enough, since April, Swift has frequently become a guest of honor at the Li Mansion.
At first, both sides were a little restrained.
In the back, Swift even took the initiative to move on Li Zhen, she would gently stretch out her feet at the dinner table. will also lie on Li Zhen's shoulder when there is no one and exhale Youlan .......
On two occasions, Li Zhen almost didn't tie up the heart ape.
But in the end, I remained calm.
What got him into trouble lately was when Miley Sellers got into a fight with Swift.
In fact, both of them have nothing to do with themselves, but the young post-90s generation can always quarrel on their own.
One said that the other party was not worthy of Li Zhen at all, so he knew that it was hot.
The other said that Swift was a and robbed people of boyfriends everywhere.
Both sides are like the main palace mother, but in fact... Li Zhen was dumbfounded.
Why can this be a quarrel?
Fortunately, the genuine blues girls are breezy and have seen a lot of the world, so there is no movement at all.
"Will you come with me to Saipan this summer?"
Li Zhen always gets text messages like Swift. It's often followed by sexy swimsuit photos!
Swift really flirts.
