Chapter 381: Winning MVP (First Update)

D'Antoni has no tactics other than running and shooting.

And whether it is Howard, who can't pass the ball, or Gasol, who can't defend well, they can't meet his requirements in the game against the Spurs.

The points on the field were almost pulled apart, and he could only hug his chest, cross his waist, and even change his posture to vent on the sidelines.

At halftime, the Lakers were already 44-60 behind the Spurs by as many as 16 points.

In the second half, the Lakers' offense and defense still did not improve.

Kobe Bryant finally couldn't hold back the power of the Mamba in his body and began to take over the team's offense.

He had a good hand tonight, and back-to-back hits helped the Lakers close to the point gap at one point.

But on the Spurs' side, Tang Tian, Leonard, and Green flipped in succession.

He had already done his best to confront Tang Tian, and he was even more powerless in the face of the three of them.

In the end, the Lakers had another game of iconic losses.

Bryant scored 20 points in the second half and also scored 28 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists, but the Lakers still lost 86-106.

Fans who haven't watched the game will say that their teammates can't do it, but those who have seen the ball know that D'Antoni was blown up by Popovich in this game.

By the fourth game, the situation had not changed.

After the Lakers' biggest weakness was caught by Popovich, it was like a poisonous snake being caught by seven inches, and even the highly poisonous black mamba couldn't make waves.

Although Bryant won the game from the beginning and scored 35 points to set a new series high, the Lakers still lost 91-104.

When a person's strength is against the sky, he can ignore the tactical suppression and turn the "five-person" basketball game into a one-person game.

But the 35-year-old Bryant has clearly lost that ability.

After losing these two home games in a row, the Lakers, who fell behind 1-3, were basically powerless.

The good news is that the next game is in three days' time, so they can get back in shape and think about how to make adjustments.

It was also at this time that the league announced some other awards for the 2012~2013 season.

The Knicks' J.R. Smith received 72 first-place votes, with a high percentage of 44.65% of the vote, beating the Clippers' Jamal Crawford and the Warriors' Jarrett Jack to be voted the Sixth Man of the Season.

He played 80 games off the bench this season, averaging 18.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.3 steals per game, and was the key to the Knicks' eventual second-place finish in the East.

This award is well deserved.

And one of the interesting things is that, perhaps inspired by Tang Tian's previous events, he also chose to accept the award ceremony before the start of the fifth game of the series.

Two days later, Game 5 of the series between the Knicks and Pacers kicked off at Madison Square Garden in New York.

The Knicks were down 3-1 before and the situation was unfavorable.

In the end, Smith scored 17 points and three steals to help the Knicks beat the Pacers 85-75 at home to tie the score at 2-3.

After the match, there was a heated discussion among fans on social media.

Fans even summed up a "Tang Tian's Law" like summing up the "Law of True Fragrance" in the future.

The law means that anyone who receives a prize at home in the playoffs can help the team win.

Because Tang Tian is the first implementer, it is also called Tang Tian's law, and the current probability is 100%.

And this law continues.

The day after the Knicks won the game, Game 5 of the Heat-Bulls series kicked off at the American Airlines Arena.

Ahead of the start of this game, the league announced the attribution of the MVP of the season.

James averaged 27.1 points, 7.9 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 1.9 steals and 0.8 blocks per game in the season, once again beating Durant and winning the MVP.

He received 120 of the 121 first-place votes and nearly became the first unanimous MVP in league history.

With the Heat on a 66-win streak and the second-all-time 27-game winning streak on a season-break, James' stats are no worse than Durant's, and the MVP is not as controversial as last season, but deservedly so.

After winning this MVP, he also became the second player in the history of the league to win the MVP for the second time after Abdul-Jabbar.

Previously, when he was a Cavaliers, he also won the MVP in the 08~09 and 09~10 seasons.

And James' choice is to claim the award at home in this game.

James delivered his acceptance speech after receiving the award.

Compared with last year's touching, there is a little more calmness in his demeanor.

After thanking everyone, he also added a morale-boosting message at the end.

“…… This honor belongs to the whole Heat team, I can't get this without them, this is the best team in the league, this time we have no reason to lose again, we want to get back the championship that belonged to us, and I will bring the second championship trophy in the history of the city! ”

James's words were full of pride, which attracted a tsunami-like cheer from the scene, and the decibels broke through the sky.

With James's character, he will pay attention to proportions when he speaks, maintain his image in place, and will not say such words that may be slapped in the face.

But it is clear that nothing is absolute.

After failing to win the championship for three years as a team, he has been cornered.

If he develops a three-point shooting and then reaches the peak of his personal strength, coupled with a strong lineup like the Heat, he can't win the championship, then his historical evaluation will definitely fall to the bottom.

Therefore, if he does not succeed, he will become a benevolent, and he is also trying to inspire a stronger self.

James' acceptance speech boosted the morale of the Heat, who slaughtered the Bulls 115-78 at home to eliminate their opponents 4-1 and advance to the Eastern Conference Finals first.

At the end of this game, Tang Tian's law was once again verified, and the probability of 100% continued to be maintained.

Here, the Heat became the first team in the East and West to reach the division finals.

The other teams, the Pacers 3-2 Knicks, the Grizzlies 3-2 Warriors, and the Spurs 3-1 Lakers.

Later in the game between the Heat and Bulls, Game 5 of the Spurs-Lakers series kicked off at ATT Arena.

The Spurs' home court, which won the first two games relatively easily, and this one is a home game, which is a great opportunity for the Spurs to advance.

But veteran Steve Nash was the X-factor tonight.

He dreamed of returning to the top of the game, shooting 7 of 8 from beyond the three-point line, scoring 25 points and 11 assists, helping the Lakers narrow 106-103 victory over the Spurs and bringing the series to 2-3.

"I had a video call with Bella and Laura before tonight's game, maybe they gave me a touch, thank God."

After the match, "Son of the Wind", who was interviewed on the sidelines, had a relaxed expression and even attributed tonight's victory to his two twin daughters.

Compared with the other Big Three, he, a 39-year-old veteran, is the least stressed in the team.

To be able to play a game like this is more of a relief and happiness for him.

ps: Thank you for the leader of the Phantom Feather Alliance! Thank you very much!
