Chapter 746 [Award Announcement, Huge Changes]

As predicted by the experts, the Suns played the Lakers without pressure, and they won comfortably at home to take a 2-0 lead.

They played the same way they did against the Lakers in the regular season, blocking the box with 122 defenses on the defensive end, trapping Kobe Bryant in the low post to force him to split the ball, or allowing Lakers players to shoot from mid-to-long range.

After Smush Parker was scrapped, the Lakers' most accurate starting three-point shot was Artest, shooting 36.1% from the field and averaging 1.8 shots per game. It was followed by Kobe Bryant with a shooting percentage of 35.7% and 2 shots.

On the Suns' side, it rains three-point play, and the starting bench has shooters who shoot more than 40% from three-point range, and they can also create a lot of open space and easy shooting opportunities.

Guo Xu and Roy can both switch between having and not having the ball, Marion and Xiao Si can help their outside teammates create opportunities through air cuts and empty baskets, and the Suns have ways to score in positional battles and counterattacks.

The Lakers lost by 38 points in the first game, and the Suns made 20 three-pointers as a team.

In the second game, "Zen Master" Jackson decided to defend Guo Xu alone and guard against others, but Guo Xu scored 47 points and 6 assists, shot 9 three-pointers, and blew up the Lakers' three No. 1 positions and Vujasic.

Many Lakers tried to defend Guo Xu alone, and Kobe Bryant also defended for a few rounds, which was completely ineffective.

Guo Xu will run without the ball and run with Kobe Bryant in a small and big game, looking for inside cover to get rid of. Kobe Bryant finally caught up and found that Guo Xu passed the ball to Roy and asked him to hold the ball and single-handedly pick up Ellis, which was also misplaced.

ESPN experts commented on the game: "There is no suspense for the Suns to win the championship this season, they are an all-star team, the starting four are super scoring, and no team can defend against it." ”

Barkley commented on Roy. "Rookie Roy, who the Suns traded for the Timberwolves, is a great one, with a style that fits the team's system and can replace Joe Johnson. I don't think Roy is worse than Joe Johnson right now, he's always played very smart. If he is given enough shots, he can become a player who averages 20+ per game. ”

A lot of the media began to boast about Roy, his popularity has steadily increased, the regular season awards have been announced, and he has no suspense to be elected Rookie of the Year.

He played 29 minutes and averaged 15.2 points, 3.7 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal per game while shooting 47.1% from the field and 37.7% from three-point range. The only rookie who has played more minutes than Roy is Bobcats' small forward Adam Morrison, whose efficiency is completely incomparable to Roy's.

As Jordan's handpicked rookie, Bobcats management has high hopes for Morrison. The coaching staff focused on developing him, averaging 11.8 points, 2.9 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 29.8 minutes per game, shooting 37.6% from the field and 33.7% from three-point range.

Just because a player performs well in the NCAA doesn't mean he can become a star in the NBA, because the intensity of NCAA games is too low. Morrison was able to calmly take the ball and play singles with skillful technique at university. After entering the NBA, the tall swingman is close, and it is difficult for him to find a familiar rhythm with the ball.

The class of 2006 rookie was so miserable that he couldn't even make up two rookie rookie rookie roster sets, and Morrison was selected for the Rookie of the Year team, but there was really no competition.

The best rookie second team is a group of rookies who do not have double-double scoring data, like Walter Herman, Guo Xu does not have this person in his memory. Lowry was named to the second team, averaging 7.7 points and 3.8 assists per game while shooting 43 percent from the field, and he often played in garbage time.

The Sixth Man of the Year was the Bulls' Ben Gordon, who averaged 19.6 points, 3 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game while shooting 45.5 percent from the field and 41.3 percent from three-point range. He was the team's second-highest scorer behind Jason Richardson with 20.2 points, but he was a real bench and only played 26 starts.

THE 191CM TALL BEN GORDON'S STYLE OF PLAY TENDS TO BE THE NO. 2 POSITION, AND IF HE PLAYS WITH HIM, HE WILL HAVE TO LET HIM, AND HE WILL HAVE TO PLAY AT THE MAIN POINT GUARD, SO HE IS NOT SUITABLE TO START, UNLESS THE OPPONENT IS THE NUGGETS.

The Most Improved Player award was won by the Spurs' Danny Granger, who was just a fringe man with the 76ers, became an important rotation player after joining the Spurs and was promoted to a starter in the second half of the game, and got better and better. He averaged 13.3 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 29 minutes per game while shooting 45.3 percent from the field and 40.4 percent from three-point range.

Bruce Bowen is getting older, and Spurs management is considering trading him out of the team in the summer in exchange for young players to bolster the roster and focus on developing Granger as a starting small forward.

As long as there is a better replacement, the Spurs management is not a soft-hearted person, and in Guo Xu's previous life, they packaged Oberto to trade Bowen and traded young small forward Richard Jefferson from the Bucks.

D'Antoni won the Coach of the Year award again, which was a surprise, and if he won it again in the future, he would be able to match many famous names in his career three times.

This year, the Suns have played a record record, and if there is no award, it will appear that the selection is biased, and D'Antoni is stained with the light that Guo Xu cannot win the MVP.

The Defensive Player of the Year was won by Garnett of the Timberwolves, and this is the second time in his career that he has won the Defensive Player of the Year award, which is a different fate from his previous life. The last time he failed to compete with Guo Xu for MVP in 2004, he got this consolation prize.

Garnett has the best defense, and it would be a big joke if reporters voted for the Nuggets' Camby. Camby's solo defense is often blown up, he doesn't play, and Nene and Martin are more efficient defensively. When Camby leaves, sooner or later, people will find out that the defensive efficiency of whichever team he goes to will decrease, and the Nuggets will greatly improve their defensive efficiency with his departure.

But now, a lot of people believe that Camby is a defensive stalwart, and even some coaches think so.

Best Defensive Team: Kobe, Bruce Bowen, Garnett, Duncan, Marcus Camby.

Defensive second team: Hinrich, Kidd, Tyshawn Prince, Josh Smith, Ben Wallace.

The Suns, who rank 7th in the league in defensive efficiency, were not selected, and the players were generally a little short in playing time and had poor defensive stats, so people ignored them.

The regular season MVP was won by LeBron James.

Best Team 1: Guo Xu, Kobe, James, Duncan, Stoudamire.

Second team: Arenas, Nash, Nowitzki, Garnett, Yao Ming.

Three: Billups, Wade, Anthony, Boozer, Dwight Howard.

After Guo Xu watched the results of the awards, he felt that it would be difficult for the Heat to form a big three in the future, and the historical trend would change dramatically.

Wade didn't have a championship in 2006, didn't have an FMVP, didn't prove himself, but James won the regular season MVP first and reached the Finals. There is a gap between the current status of the two, will James still be willing to go to Miami and play brother basketball with him?

In addition, the Raptors have played poorly this year, and Bosh's excellent stats are like brushes, and unless he proves himself in the playoffs, at least until the second round, it will be difficult to get the evaluation of "giant".

If you don't play brother basketball, it will be really difficult for James to win the championship, don't look at him winning the MVP and entering the Finals, his current personal ability may not be stronger than Kobe.

Although the Lakers can't beat the Suns, Kobe Bryant's performance in the playoffs is very eye-catching, and his ability has reached the peak of his career, averaging 30.3 points, 5.7 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game, shooting 46.9% from the field and 35.7% from three-point range.

The Lakers' offense is better than last season, and they play very smoothly, and they can't win because the Suns' offense is more powerful.

In order to beat the Suns, the Lakers coaching staff repeatedly studied the game footage and practiced offensive and defensive tactics. They don't want to lose, it's just that it's acceptable to lose in the series, and they don't want to be swept by the Suns for two years in a row.

Being beaten by the same team many times in a row will affect the mentality of the players, and it will be more and more difficult to win in the future.

On the 12th, the third battle between the two sides will be played in Staples......
