Chapter 683 [Four times in a row, well deserved]
Soon, the Suns won two games in a row at home, leading 2-0, winning the first game by 17 points and the second game by 18 points.
Guo Xu's stats are 25 points and 22 assists, 27 points and 17 assists.
Basketball experts analyzed that Guo Xu played very smart, scored not much, and had a terrifying number of assists, with a shooting rate of more than 60% in both games, and a terrifying efficiency. If he is catch-and-shoot and the Clippers big man can interfere with the distance, and he breaks through, the two weaknesses of slow interior movement will be caught.
It's a law of physics that big men move slower than small people, and even black players with super explosive power can't get away with them. Carman is not a black man yet, and the Clippers want to prevent Guo Xu from breaking through, so they can't let Carman and Brand play together.
If the two don't play together, the Clippers' low-post strong attack, the advantage of frontcourt rebounding is gone, and playing small-ball tactics is tantamount to falling into the rhythm of the Suns, and there is no possibility of winning at all.
The Suns beat the Clippers on the outside, not including Guo Xu, he singled out Cassel and Livingston to break through easily, and wrapped Guo Xu, and he threw three points to his teammates or hit the restricted area.
Bell, James Jones, Blake, Ariza, and Kukoc can all catch the ball and shoot three-pointers, and Guo Xu himself is the strongest three-point player in the league.
The Clippers only relied on three people to shoot three-pointers from the outside, Cassel, Mobley, and Radmanovic didn't shoot much.
Dunleavy is an old-school coach who doesn't like three-point play, even though many teams are now experimenting with small-ball, with the Clippers averaging just 13.6 three-point attempts per game.
Many people predict that the Suns are likely to sweep and advance again, and after Guo Xu defends seriously, the data comprehensively suppresses the opponent's point guard, and he is more difficult to defend than he focuses on scoring after attracting the ball.
Dunleavy began to doubt himself, feeling that it was a mistake to trap Guo Xu, and he seemed to be able to fight a dozen without wrapping it, and the trapping was equivalent to surrendering the gun, and he was directly killed by the outside line of the sun that bloomed at more points.
In the previous life, the remnants of the Suns led by Nash were able to eliminate the Clippers, relying on three-point shots, and there was almost no interior defense. Now Vallejo and Haslem will not let the Clippers players do whatever they want in the restricted area, and the difference in strength between the two sides is obvious.
The regular season awards were announced one after another, and Guo Xu set a new historical record, winning the regular season MVP for the fourth time in a row, and he deserved it, and no one competed.
Not only did he win the best record in the league, but he was also the best player in a single season since Chamberlain, the second player in NBA history to average 40+ points per game in a single season, and a super shooter with 450+ three-pointers in a single season.
With such a series of records in front of him, the fans' eyes were almost blinded, and Guo Xu was unanimously elected again. Even James, who averages a quasi-triple-double per game, has a big gap with Guo Xu, with an average of more than 10 points less per game. The other two 30+ players were fishing in the regular season and elbowing by the Suns in the first round of the playoffs.
Best Team 1: Guo Xu, Nash, James, Nowitzki, O'Neal.
Best Second Team: Billups, Kobe, Duncan, Brand, Yao Ming.
Best three: Arenas, Wade, Anthony, Pau Gasol, Ben Wallace.
There was some controversy in the selection of the squad this time, because there were too many players with good statistics, and many stars were not selected for even three teams.
For example, Richard Hamilton of the Pistons, who averaged 20.1 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game, shot 49.1% from the field, and the team had the first record in the East and could not be selected to the best team because Wade was much better than him.
Another example is Carlos Boozer of the Cavaliers, with double-double data and a good record, but there are too many strong insiders this year. If Stoudamire and Marion can play, Gasol and Anthony will also be difficult to select.
The biggest controversy is that Iverson, who averaged the most points per game of his career, was not selected to the All-Star team because the 76ers did not make the playoffs when the roster was widely favored, and Iverson looked more and more like a cancer.
This caused strong dissatisfaction among Iverson fans, saying that the 76ers did not enter the playoffs because the AI teammates were too scummy, and the 76ers must make a big change in the summer and trade him for a strong partner.
Ben Wallace was selected to the three-time team based on his team record, and his statistics dropped slightly from last season, averaging 7.3 points, 11.3 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.8 steals and 2.2 blocks per game.
He's the worst stat on the All-NBA team, but pundits boast about how tough he is defensively and the spiritual leader of the Pistons, as if he has the most credit for the team's best record.
Kobe Bryant was only selected for the second team and not many people questioned it, the Lakers' record is too much worse than the Hawks' ratio, Nash averages less than 20 points per game, but the tactical role is very critical, and he is also known as the "poor man's version of Jason Guo".
Guo Xu held a press conference when he accepted the award, and his thoughts were simpler than last year. "Actually, who else can win this award if I don't win it? I scored 101 points. ”
Other than that, he has no special feelings, good and bad, everything can be explained by 101 points. The press conference was not short, Guo Xu answered a lot of personal questions, and by the way, he also promoted "Kung Fu Panda" released in June.
The Rookie of the Year was won by Chris Paul of the Hornets, and the advantage of being drafted by a bad team is that he has the ball, and Paul has become the boss of the Hornets, and the statistics crush other rookies.
It is worth mentioning that David Lee was selected for the rookie team with a double-double of 10.2 points, 10.4 rebounds and 1.7 assists, squeezing Bogut, who averaged 8.6 points, 7.6 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game, into the second team.
One is the last rookie in the first round, and the other is the champion, and the performance is difficult for Lakers fans to accept.
This result in Kobe Bryant lying down, and a group of fans said that he was a teammate. Lakers fans feel that Bogut was favored by everyone in the draft, and there is no reason why he is a parallel trade when he is not inferior to Duncan in the 2004 Olympics.
Guo Xu can make young teammates stronger, everyone doesn't think it's unusual, David Lee's data is better than in college.
The best sixth man is Hawks guard Jamal Crawford, who became the "sixth man" in advance, can play on the court, and has outstanding individual ability.
It is difficult for Barbosa to win the sixth man honor in his life, although the Warriors play at a fast pace, but Byron Davis and Joe Johnson have played a particularly long time, and Barbossa has played more time after Fisher was sent away, and there is no ball data.
The most improved player is the Raptors' guard Mike James, who averages 21.3 points and 5.8 assists per game.
The Coach of the Year award went to the Pistons' Philip Saunders, who replaced Larry Brown and the Pistons improved their record a lot to finish first in the East. Because the Pistons went home in the first round last season, it seems that he is more successful.
The best defensive player was Ben Wallace of the Pistons, and the short and poor offense gave that the benefit of the reporters who voted for him was particularly impressed with his defense.
This year's All-Defensive Team has six more selections. Jason Kidd, Kobe, Kirilenko, Bruce Bowen, Raja Bell, Ben Wallace.
Defensive second team: Billups, Prince, Duncan, Garnett, Camby.
Every year there is a lot of controversy about the defensive lineup, and this year it was especially big.
Kidd was cut down by Guo Xu for 70+, or for a while?
Kobe Bryant elbowed Josh Howard, or for a while?
Who did Camby prevent? Isn't the Nuggets' defense the bottom of the league?
Of course, the fans of this group of people all said that it was very reasonable, the best defensive team was selected by the coach, and others can know the ball better than the coach?
There is no controversy that Guo Xu is not selected for the defensive lineup, and the league does not dare to let him in.
But in the playoffs, his defense is really not leaky......
