The league announced the second award - the Best Sixth Man Award of the 2010~2011 season.

The award was eventually won by Lamar Odom, who averaged 14.4 points, 8.7 rebounds and 3 assists per game this season, his best overall stat in the past three years.

It's just a little ironic that this year he has become a bargaining chip to be traded.

With an incredulous expression in front of the camera and a choked up Odom, he can be called one of the most poignant images of the season.

However, it can be regarded as a blessing and a curse, and Odom finally won the "Best Sixth Man" this season!

Speaking of which, there is another embarrassing thing, Odom has been called a talented player since he entered the league in 99, and he was even called a "left-handed magician" when he was on the Heat, but so far, he has not won a big data king, nor has he won major awards, including the best team, this "Sixth Man of the Season" is the first time he has been recognized by the league.

It's just when he's at another low point!

***

The Knicks eliminated the Heat 4-0, waiting for the Bulls and the Celtics to split the winner, because the Celtics and the Magic ended a little late, they are only in the fourth game now, the current big score Bulls lead 2-1, if the Bulls can go on the next trip, then they are only one step away from qualifying!

Chicagoans say it's impossible not to get excited.

Like the fans of the New York team, the Chicagoans have been waiting for the team to return to the Eastern Conference Finals for n years, and this year their hopes have finally grown, and this year, they will not only make it to the Eastern Conference Finals, they are more likely to make it to the final finals!

Since the basketball god left Chicago, the city has never entered the Finals, but fortunately, all the wait is worth it, with the rise of the "Windy City Roses", this team has the strength to compete with all the strong teams this year, and their performance in this year's playoffs did not disappoint, and now they are one win away from entering the Eastern Conference Finals, and the opponent of the Eastern Conference Finals is the Knicks who were beaten by them in the regular season!

"Chicago's time is coming!"

After the Bulls successfully won the fourth game of the series, the entire Chicago local newspaper was completely excited, and the score was 3-1! They still have home advantage in the next game, how can they lose?

All the fans didn't believe they could lose, and the Chicago Bulls didn't disappoint them, as they won their fifth game of the series at home and eliminated the Celtics 4-1!

The Chicago Bulls won the last spot in the East to enter the Eastern Conference finals, and the Bulls also returned to the Eastern Conference finals after 13 years!

"Our goal is to win the championship!"

"Rush! Chicago, this time, we're going to rise beautifully! ”

"No one can stop us, whether it's the Knicks or any team, this year's championship is definitely ours!"

It's just that after entering the Eastern Conference finals, the appetite of Chicago fans has also become bigger, and the call for winning the championship is several times greater than before!

The Western Conference Finals spot was also officially confirmed, and the Ohrah Horma City Thunder and the Dallas Mavericks became the final opponents of the Western Conference Finals.

Both teams are new faces on the Western Conference Finals stage in recent years!

In addition, the two teams in the east also entered the finals after n years, so this year's East-West finals were jokingly called "the subversion of the times" by the media!

"From last summer to now, the entire league has undergone earth-shaking changes, as many as 10 superstars have changed their teams, including LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony and Yi Jianlian and other top ten stars in the league in recent years, their careers have come to a fork in the road, and it is also because of the choice of these stars that this league has ushered in a new era, the four teams in the Eastern and Western finals last year, the Cavaliers and the Bucks, as well as the Lakers and the Suns, none of the teams can even make it to the finals this year, What's more, three of them didn't even make it to this year's playoffs! ”

"And with the transfer of most superstars, with the fall of last year's power, the NBA has ushered in a new powerhouse this year, the New York Knicks and Chicago Bulls in the East, the Ohrahoma City Thunder and the Dallas Mavericks in the West have become the new powerhouses of the league in the chaos!"

"Regardless of who wins the championship this season, one thing is for sure, times have really changed!"

……

The four new giants also caused a lot of discussion before the start of their respective finals, and it can be heard from these positive discussions that fans across the league are looking forward to seeing these new teams rise!

This is also normal, the original NBA, LeBron James entered the finals for 8 consecutive years from 2010 to 2018, and played against the Warriors in the finals 4 times in a row.

From this aspect, it can be seen that no matter how delicious the gluttonous feast is, if you eat too much, you will always get bored.

For NBA fans, the change of dynasty and the suspense are far more interesting than the pattern of two dominances.

For example, in this year's playoffs, the four teams in the East and West are all fresh faces that they have not seen before, and none of these teams really has said that they will definitely win the championship, the Knicks are restrained by the Bulls, the Bulls and the Mavericks are evenly matched, the Mavericks are easy to hang the chain at critical moments, and the Thunder are too young, and none of the teams have an absolute championship.

"Which two teams will make it to the finals?"

"Which team can be the new king of the NBA?"

ESPN held a roundtable with two questions, one is which team will eventually make it to the Finals, and the other is which team will be the new king of the NBA.

The five experts who came this time obviously supported the teams were all different, and the five people came up with 4 answers, anyway, all the possible scenarios were said, but there were three experts who supported the Bulls to fight from the East, only two experts thought that the Knicks would come out of the East, and on the West side, more experts believed that the Mavericks could break out of the West.

"Although this team always disappoints people at critical moments, compared to the Thunder, this team obviously has the ability to go further this year, the three little guys of the Thunder team have grown well enough, but I have to say that their time has not yet come, and they still need some time to grow!"

The performance of the Thunder's "three less" this year is amazing, the team spent three years to select three talented little guys, and quickly completed the rebuild, which is something that is being discussed within the entire industry, they made the playoffs last year, and even reached the Western Conference Finals this year, which is also big enough, but it will take some time to win the championship, in the opinion of many experts.

"So, which team can be the new king of the NBA?"

The round table moved on to the second question.

The answer to this question is one less, except for the Thunder, the other three teams have been mentioned, and the most mentioned of them is the Bulls!

No way, this team is too fierce this year, from the head coach to the core players to the team members, almost all in their best periods, and they finally won the long-lost 60 wins, only one less than the Spurs, they are almost the best in the West, and now the Spurs are eliminated, they have all the remaining home court advantage, and because of this, this Bulls team will be favored by so many experts, and no one doubts how good they are at their home court this season!

In their opinion, the Bulls at home are almost invincible!

Judging from the configuration of the only Heat team that knocked out the Bulls one after another in the regular season, what the Bulls are afraid of is the multi-giant team, but unfortunately, among the remaining teams, except for the Knicks, no team can be called a multi-giant team!

What's even more regrettable is that the only multi-giant team, the New York Knicks, was beaten by the Bulls in the regular season!

"The Bulls will have a good chance of being the ultimate champion!"

……

The results of this roundtable quickly became a hot topic online:

"Hahahaha, even if these experts have a bit of brains, no matter how you look at it, this year's Chicago Bulls are indeed the most promising team to become the championship!"

The most exciting, of course, are the Chicago Bulls fans.

"I remember last year when the pundits said we couldn't make it to the first round of the playoffs! The result? It's not like I've been slapped in the face! In my opinion, this year's Thunder are the most favorable contenders for the championship! ”

The most upset are the Thunder fans.

This year's Thunder had their best record as they relocated from Seattle to Ohrahomma, and they haven't had time to get excited! At this moment, he was quickly poured a basin of cold water, who can stand this?

There are also unhappy New York Knicks fans, but the team's record has improved, and their brains have improved a lot, they realized that the Knicks and the Bulls were indeed restrained in the regular season, so they did not take the initiative to provoke trouble, but they buried their unhappiness in their hearts, waited for the Eastern Conference finals to begin, and took out this unhappiness to cheer for the Knicks!

***

The Eastern Conference Finals began in the midst of all the excitement.

The first game of the series was played at the home of the Chicago Bulls, who had a better record!

Unlike the New York fans who are waiting for their home stadium to arrive, Chicago Bulls fans can already cheer on their teams on the sidelines tonight.

"Damn the Knicks, are you ready to be eliminated?"

"Yi is probably the star I want to see in this stadium the most, because this team is really not our opponent!"

"Haha, thank you for eliminating the Heat, now it's our turn to knock you out!"

At the same time as the New York Knicks entered the scene, there was a lot of ridicule on the sidelines, and then it never went down.

Except for Yi Jianlian, all the members of the Knicks team are obviously in a tense mental state today, most of the players in this team are experiencing the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time, and they are facing the Bulls team who beat them up in the regular season on a bigger stage, and it is strange that they are not nervous!

However, this is a common problem for every player, Yi Jianlian believes that as the game progresses, the big guys' bodies are moving, and their mentality is naturally not so nervous!

The entrance ceremony of the Bulls' home players took place shortly after, and because it was the Eastern Conference Finals, Yi Jianlian could clearly feel that the entire audience welcomed the Bulls players more warmly.

With the appearance of Derrick Rose, the entire stadium was directly engulfed by the sound wave.

Derrick Rose has really grown up, and his every move from the exit has a domineering "I'm the boss of this arena".

Yi Jianlian looked at him like this, and couldn't help but think of the first game of this guy's career, when he met the Bucks, he made Derrick Rose, who was still a little at the time, angry enough, and the young Rose at that time had already shown his talent and potential, but no one thought that he would grow to such a point in three years, right?

"Hey, Yi, this time, I'll be the last winner!"

After the opening ceremony, Derrick Rose took the initiative to run in front of Yi Jianlian to greet him.

There is a very interesting news: because of the rise of Derrick Rose, he has become a strong contender for the regular season MVP this season, but Yi Jianlian has also completed the feat of averaging a triple-double per game this season, so that the suspense of winning the regular season MVP has continued to this day, so there are many media who have made up a lot of news that Yi Jianlian and Derrick Rose are incompatible, but in fact, Derrick Rose will come forward to say hello whenever he meets Yi Jianlian, regardless of whether he is at home or away. It's ridiculous that these reporters deliberately ignore this phenomenon and still have their noses and eyes on it.

Yi Jianlian also remembered that when LeBron fans and Kobe fans tore each other apart, they also made up a lot of gossip about the bad relationship between these two people, and finally described the two of them as mortal enemies with a common hatred, but as a result, LeBron's third decision was to finally join Los Angeles, the City of Angels, and Kobe Bryant also sent a special message to congratulate, which slapped the faces of I don't know how many fans.

There are also LeBron and Durant, LeBron and "Dream Chaser" Green, in short, as long as there are players with gossip conditions, these reporters and fans will create all the conditions and arrange some hostile stories for them that are more exciting than books, but in fact, these hostile parties can go to nightclubs together in private!

Yi Jianlian and Derrick Rose are just another target for these idle reporters and fans.

It's just that this matter has really happened to him, and Yi Jianlian is still a little speechless!
