Wang won the Coach of the Year tomorrow, and the Kings are killing all sides in the playoffs, and the momentum is very strong, and it looks like they will take the Kings back to the Western Conference after many years.

In the other group of Western Conference semifinals, the Lakers and Suns are slightly anxious.

It stands to reason that the Suns are not as strong as the Lakers, and the structure of the Suns is more aging, while the Lakers are good offensively and defensively, and Kobe Bryant is at his peak.

But the two teams are too familiar, the Suns are in good shape this season, Nash is rejuvenated, in the second game in Los Angeles, he sent 18 assists and 0 turnovers in the whole game, and led the Suns to a high score of 127 points, replacing defense with offense, defeating the Lakers away and tying the series to a 1-1 draw.

Kobe Bryant was obviously dissatisfied with the team's defeat at home, and pointed out after the game that the team did not pay enough attention and targeted arrangements from the tactical level to the mental state of the players, and even they didn't know that Xu Yong, a young rookie of the Suns, was such a high-quality wing who could run, jump, shoot, and hold the ball!

Chinese fans are excited about Xu Yong's performance, if the Suns can beat the Lakers, then the Western Conference will continue to stage the Chinese derby!

After the first round, all the awards were basically released.

Best Defensive Player, the league gave the award to Dwight Howard.

Dwight Howard played in 82 games this season, averaging 18.3 points, 13.1 rebounds and 2.7 blocks on 61.0% shooting per game, becoming the league's rebounding king + block champion, third overall record in the league and second in defense.

Last season, Howard averaged 20.6 points, 13.8 rebounds and 2.9 blocks per game, and won the league's rebounding and blocking kings at the same time, and this season Howard is still the league's first player in these two statistics. The only players in NBA history who have been able to win both rebounding and blocking in a single season are Bill Wharton, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Olajuwon and Ben Wallace, but they have never won back-to-back titles.

In addition, Howard became the first player in NBA history to be both rebounding and blocks in a single season, ranking first in shooting percentage this season.

There is no doubt that Howard took over the crown of super center, and Yao Ming is called the two super centers in the league.

The Most Valuable Player was awarded to LeBron James in the league.

James' performance is as comprehensive and top-notch as ever: 29+8+7 beast-level data, 6 weekly bests + 4 monthly bests, and the only thing that is criticized may be the appearance and playing posture that idol drama fans don't favor.

In order to be able to play against a super center like Howard in the playoffs, the Cavaliers brought in a helper for James "Big Shark" O'Neal last summer, but the team's chemistry after the start of the season went wrong, and the Cavaliers lost three of their first six games, and played one and a half months with a record of only 15-7, outside the top three in the East. In the case of the team's problems, the "little emperor" James began to rely on his own efforts to help the team out of the predicament, since December 28, 09, James has dominated the NBA official MVP list, unprecedented 15 consecutive weeks of victory.

The topic of whether James has surpassed Kobe Bryant to become the first person in the league has been debated all season, but one thing is implementation, and the little emperor is indeed surpassing Kobe. On March 20, James achieved the 15,000-point mark in the Cavaliers-Bulls game, surpassing Kobe Bryant to become the youngest Mr. 15,000 points, and the little emperor improved Kobe's record by more than two years at the age of 25 years and 79 days.

James gave an MVP speech, thanking his coach, his parents, and a group of people who supported him, while also expressing his vision for a championship.

Currently, the Cavaliers are in the East, leading the Heat 2-0 in the first round, followed by a 1-1 draw between the Magic and the Celtics.

On May 8, the Kings came to Houston for a G3 battle against the Rockets.

On May 10, the Kings were in Houston to complete the G4 battle with the Rockets.

The Kings failed to win both games in Houston, and the Rockets defeated the Kings 98-87 and 94-91 respectively to tie the series at 2-2 with the cheers of the home fans.

Wang Tomorrow feels that it is a pity, if he can win one of the two games, the next games will be more favorable to the king.

But it's a pity that the Rockets have the advantage of being on the home court, and they are better than the Kings in all aspects, especially the inner twin tower combination of Yao Ming and Millsap, which is very stable.

As soon as G4 ended, the King left Texas and returned to Sacramento to prepare for G5.

As soon as I returned to Sacramento, Marvel had good news.

"Iron Man 2" was a great success, and the box office momentum is very strong, and the global box office has reached 290 million, which has only been released for a few days, and the film scheduling rate continues to rise, and it has become the first place in the North American box office and the global box office last week, dominating the film market.

The global box office of Marvel's turnaround "Iron Man" is only 580 million, and according to the current situation, it may even surpass the previous work "Iron Man".

This means that Wang Mingming, as one of the shareholders, will receive a lot of dividends from the investor of the film.

At the same time, the value of Marvel's shares in Wang Mingming's hands has skyrocketed, and compared with his original investment, he has already made a profitable transaction, and if the market appraisal price at this time is followed, Wang Mingming is worth hundreds of millions.

However, after all, Wang Ming only regarded movies as his side investment, and his main focus was still on the field, burning a large number of brain cells in order to deal with Team Rocket in the G5 battle.

On May 13, in Sacramento, the players of the two teams played again after a three-day break.

Yao Ming played a dominant performance in a few games, averaging 29.8 points, 14.5 rebounds and 2 blocks per game, Tyson Chandler and Marcin Gortat were ravaged in turn, especially Gortat, who basically played no more than 10 minutes and received 2 or 3 fouls.

When Gortat was in the Magic before, he was Howard's substitute, fighting against the power-type inside, and he thought he had a lot of experience, but in the face of Yao Ming, who had a stable chassis, good skills, and solid movements, there was really no way.

Whether it is a hook hand after receiving the ball in the low post, or a jump shot with a slight hint of backwards when he turns, Yao Ming's offensive rhythm has been grasped.

Just like the 30-year-old Olajuwon, Yao Ming has reached the peak of athleticism and technical and tactical level at such an age.

Chandler also felt bad, and he didn't have any bright spots on the court except for the first stunner.

"You have to go around the front and defend!"

Before the G5 game, Wang Tomorrow once again emphasized the defense of Yao Ming, the defense of Millsap is focused on defensive breakthroughs, and Yao Ming is simply "It's better not to let him receive the ball." ”

Tyson Chandler and Marcin Gortat had ugly faces, and the two centers defending Yao Ming were deeply unwilling in their hearts.

.......

The Arco Arena is full.

The bald referee, the black referee, and a referee who looked a little thin, the three of them got together, the bald referee was the referee on duty, and he walked onto the court with the ball.

G5 battle, two teams who drew 2-2, this battle, no matter who it is, is a key battle.

Everyone was aggressive, and there were no superfluous words, and after the kickoff, it was directly dry.

In the most violent first quarter, Rocket Millsap took the lead.

Under the glorious light of Yao Ming, Millsap's performance has always been average, but in the mouth of Chinese fans, he has won the title of "perfect second master".

Millsap's ability to handle the ball is increasing day by day, and he is much more powerful than he was during his time with the 76ers.

And the mid-range shooting ability of the half-volley basket is a big killer.

Wang tomorrow arranges the right defense for him, and would rather let him shoot than let him break through easily, he breaks through the ball, which is one of the core tactics of the Rockets.

Millsap was very aggressive, and after reading the Kings' defense, he hit back-to-back shots.

He then made a high-quality cover for Brooks, who hit a 3-pointer.

The Rockets were dominated by anti-visitors, and G5 started with an 11-3 start.

At the end of the timeout, Bosh broke through to the basket and caused a kill, and Millsap received a foul, which took a certain demoralization hit.

Bosh hit both free throws to put the Kings up 5-11.

Yao Ming showed his strength in the low position, shook Chandler and scored with a small hook.

Gallinari hit a mid-range 2-pointer to give the Rockets a five-point lead.

The two sides switched to the bench to fight.

Wilson Chandler's breakaway dunk became the first player to score off the bench for both teams, and he followed up with an assist for Gallinari's three-pointer from beyond the arc to give the Rockets a 10-point lead.

The Rockets' ferocious offense in the first quarter was very different from the previous games, and surprised a group of commentators.

Fans also noticed the difference, and in Houston, the two teams played super defensively, often going without scoring for several rounds.

DeRozan's breakthrough caused the Rockets to foul, Artest insisted on hitting the inside, and the Kings got more free throws, slowly recovering a little point, and the first quarter ended with the Rockets trailing by seven points at 23-30.

In the second quarter of the game, the Kings' outside shooters made a group of efforts, and Cosby, Yudri and others hit 3-pointers one after another.

The various interspersed runs arranged by Wang tomorrow to cover the shooters make the Rockets players tired, and there will always be some empty spots.

The Kings seized the opportunity and blasted a wave of 12-0 to overtake the score in one fell swoop.

Just like in the fourth quarter of Game 1, the Kings can always find this kind of wave of opportunities and then turn the tide on the court in an instant, scoring explosively, much higher than the Rockets.

This is also determined by the difference in the styles of the two teams, the Rockets are more stable, and the Kings are more energetic.

The Rockets are behind, the rhythm is a little biased by the Kings, Brooks is a good player at hitting the basket and shooting scrambles, but when it comes to controlling the rhythm, the entire Rockets don't seem to have this person.

This is also the shortcomings of the Rockets that Wang found tomorrow, at least the Kings team will never collapse, with Kidd in control, the players' offensive and defensive rhythms are very comfortable.

Adelman replaced Yao Ming, and the players consciously slowed down.

At this point, the Rockets recovered some points and trailed the Kings by five points at halftime, 49-54.

"The Kings are more like a whole than the Rockets, in the half-court offense, both inside and outside, the Rockets played well in the first quarter, and there were some problems in the second quarter, especially some mistakes, which buried the advantage on the court in vain." An ESPN expert commented, while continuing to point out the tactical differences between the two sides.

"The Rockets still rely on the twin towers to drive the whole, and there are more strong insides, while the Kings are mostly blocking and stealing offenses interspersed with running without the ball."

Arco Arena, home team dressing room.

Wang tomorrow will break down the tactics of the Rockets in the first half in detail.

In fact, there is nothing to analyze, it is nothing more than about Yao Ming and Millsap's defense, Millsap is slightly better, Yao Ming's defense has restrained the Kings too much energy.

"Shelling is also a way of thinking, but shelling I need you to take advantage of the situation."

Wang Mingming was talking, and suddenly his words changed, and he talked about the artillery tactics.

"The change of rhythm is still secondary, the key is not to make mistakes, the Rockets defense is not weak, once there is a mistake, it is tantamount to creating opportunities for others, inside and out, it is a point difference."

The Kings' counterattack was fast before, but it had not yet reached the point of shelling, and the main reason was that Tyson Chandler's movement speed did not have much advantage.

The words "follow the trend" are too abstract, even a master of field control like Kidd is a little confused after listening to what Wang Tomorrow said.

"Look at your understanding!" Wang pretended to be forced tomorrow, and then it was up to the players to understand it themselves.

He just wanted to send a signal that he was in favor of the bombardment, so he added later: "I think our offensive tempo can be faster!" ”

It's not interesting to fight with rockets for protection, and you can't prevent it, so it's better to play a few more rounds and get more points.

Kidd said it was received.

In the third quarter, the Kings made 6 3-pointers, and the game exploded with a 35-20 shockwave.

At the end of the third quarter, the Kings led the Rockets by 11 points, 89-69.

The Rockets' scoring was not much different from the previous games, but defensively, it was made full of holes and holes by the Kings.

Yao Ming was also helpless, he got a double-double of 19 points and 12 rebounds at the end of the third quarter, but the opposite side got more points than him.

Wang will be the subject of the fourth session of reporters.

"That's right, scoring more points than your opponents is the essence of basketball, and no matter what, that rule doesn't change, and luckily we scored more points than them."

The Rockets didn't have the explosive power to score, and the difference was 20 points, which was equivalent to giving away the game.

After struggling for half a quarter in the fourth quarter, and seeing that the game score could not be recovered, Adelman decently replaced the fringe player and announced his surrender.

In the end, the Kings defeated the Rockets 116-95 at home, won the G5 battle, and also won the match point.

This is also the first rout situation since the series of the two teams, according to the previous four games, basically in a relatively anxious state, and at worst, it is not until the end of the fourth quarter that you can see the clues of victory and defeat.

This result surprised many experts, and the Rockets were cut by 116 points, which shows that the Rockets' defense has become a huge problem.

"They've made too many 3-pointers, they've had an extraordinary touch tonight, they're playing well, but the series isn't over yet, see you in Houston."

Millsap mentioned 14 three-pointers from the Kings as a team, while offering an invitation to fight, somewhat unconvinced.

But I unconsciously remembered that in the days of the 76ers, at that time, Coach Wang Mingming emphasized three-point tactics very much, and even when the entire league did not pay attention to three-point shooting, he had trained players to shoot three-pointers, which was his consistent style.

He silently thought to himself, should he also practice a three-point shot to deal with the increasingly blurred positional boundaries in the future?
