Chapter 928 [Infighting, Veteran]
In the Eastern Conference matchup, the Nets swept the Hornets in the first round and the Hawks in the second round to advance, which went very smoothly, and their lineup completely crushed their opponents. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The Pacers' road to promotion was quite thrilling, knocking out the Knicks 4-3 in the first round and beating the Heat 4-3 in the second round.
It's not that the opponent is strong, it's that the Pacers are weaker than they were in the regular season and are dying on their own.
The mid-term Pacers trade in Evan Turner and also signed former star center Andrew Bynum in free agency and seems on track to make a championship shot.
The 26-year-old Bynum was cut midway through a conflict with the Magic. When the Magic signed Bynum in the summer, they thought they had taken advantage of it and picked up a star at a low price, but this guy had a problem with his brain at all, his training was lazy, and he was not enterprising.
As his strength grew, so did Bynum's arrogance and ambition. "Bryant hindered my growth." Bynum described the 2011-12 season at the peak of his career.
Bynum's negative attitude on the defensive end and on the training court has caused headaches for the Lakers coaching staff. It turns out that if you leave Kobe Bryant and no one scolds him, this is a waste, and you can't control yourself at all.
The Pacers signed Bynum to a $1 million contract, which was considered a double win at the time, adding depth to the roster and more importantly, not allowing the Nets and Heat to be strengthened.
After joining the Pacers, Bynum played a total of 26 minutes, contributing 23 points and 19 rebounds, after which Bynum was exempted from the game due to a knee injury.
In the 2011-12 season, Bynum played for the Lakers, averaging 18.7 points and 11.8 rebounds per game, both career highs. Since leaving the Lakers, Bynum's basketball career has gone downhill, his Pacers career ended miserably, and perhaps his NBA career is coming to an end.
Bynum isn't the worst thing about the Pacers yet.
In March, American gossip media reported that the Pacers players had infighting, which turned out to be George and Hibbert playing a three-P bed battle with a woman, and the internal and external duo clashed, and finally turned face. The contradiction between the two directly led to the Pacers' performance in the second half of the game falling like a free fall.
The Pacers, who have been competing with the Nets for the top spot, have lost 12 of their 19 games since March. If it weren't for the early lead, they would have been overtaken by the Heat.
The reason for the widespread media coverage is that the Pacers' internal conflicts have become public, and Hibbert has blasted his teammates for being selfish to the media, and the finger is suspected of pointing at the team's number one star, Paul George.
As the core of the team, Paul George averaged only 17 shots per game, which is really not selfish.
David West broke the news that George and Hibbert didn't like each other, and the two had completely turned their faces.
Before the end of the regular season, the Pacers' infighting escalated again, with rumors that Lance Stevenson and Evan Turner had beaten each other in practice, and although the generals denied it, a message from reporter Buckner confirmed that the clash between the two players did exist.
Hibbert is undoubtedly the "culprit" of the Pacers' infighting. Because he was dissatisfied with his lack of offensive scenes, he bombarded his teammates, which soon caused an uproar in the industry.
The mentally retarded behavior of the "Black Tower" is tantamount to an incomparably powerful bomb that detonates in the locker room. The already sensitive and fragile trust between the players was instantly wiped out because of self-harming remarks.
Heading into the playoffs, Hibbert won't be playing.
The psychological imbalance led him to drift away from him on the pitch. He still hasn't figured out that he is actually unqualified on the defensive end, unable to prevent defenders from breaking through, blocking and dismantling outside the three-point line, and averaging only 3.4 rebounds per game in the playoffs, such a low efficiency is simply an unforgivable report card for a 218cm center.
On the offensive end, Hibbert shot 31% from the field in his first five games and averaged 6.4 shots per game, which is another huge shame for the center. People all over the world can see that Hibbert is not a scorer at all, but he himself is caught in a vicious circle of demons, always trying to prove himself.
It wasn't the fans who insulted Hibbert, he really became "Gao Yuanyuan".
Because he didn't get much from his teammates, Hibbert began to fight against the whole world, publicly applauding Stephenson's mistakes in Game 5 of the first round, receiving four fouls in just 12 minutes, and being directly abandoned by coach Vogel in the second half.
Self-inflicted, not to live, Hibbert's days in the walkers are probably numbered.
In addition to talking about the Pacers, the news always pulls the Kings into infighting, and James and Wang Jun have refuted the rumors several times to no avail, which is what fans of other teams like to see.
There are also media who regard Vucevic as a super center with the ability to take 20+10, just like James and Wang Jun influenced him to come out. I've seen too much of this kind of news, and Vucevic really wants to leave the king and break into a team that can be the boss, and he was brainwashed.
In the Kings, Vucevic will never be able to be the heart of the offense, and the defense is always scolded, who doesn't want to play in a happy environment?
After two rounds, the major awards of the regular season were selected.
The Cavaliers' Oladipo was elected Rookie of the Year, averaging only 13.8 points, 4.1 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game, shooting 41.9% from the field, which is already the most eye-catching performance of this rookie, with only three averaging more than 10 points per game.
Jazz point guard Tre Burke ranked second, averaging 12.8 points and 5.7 assists per game while shooting just 38 percent from the field. This is really a small year for the draft.
The best coach is Popovich, and the Spurs are the top favorites to win the championship this season, with the first record.
The most improved player was Suns point guard Dragic, who averaged 20.3 points, 3.2 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game while shooting 50.5% from the field and 40.8% from three-point range. After returning to the Suns from the Rockets, he became a star, the heart of the team.
The Rockets have become a laughing stock, shouting that there are no good point guards, and good guards have sent them away, leaving Starkey who can't organize.
The Sixth Man of the Year was the Clippers' Jamal Crawford, whose presence with Irving left Bledsoe with little chance to play and was forced to switch to the Suns.
The Defensive Player of the Year was won to the Warriors' Joakim Noah, and the Warriors' overall defense has moved up a notch this season. Noah is not only able to defend, but also has good playmaking ability, and was selected to the All-Star Game this season.
James and Wang Jun were both selected to the All-Defensive Team, and the team conceded the third-lowest points per game, and there seemed to be little to prove that they were good defensively.
Hibbert was named to the All-Defensive Second Team, which is outrageous. A person who can't even protect the backcourt rebound, doesn't know where the defensive excellence comes from.
The Pacers' really good interior guard is Ian Masimmy, who has the height, reach, and speed of movement.
Chris Paul of the Nets was elected MVP of the regular season, relying on the best record in the East and good statistics, averaging 18.7 points, 4.2 rebounds, 10.7 assists and 2.5 steals per game, ranking first in the league in assists and steals.
Since entering the league in 2005, Paul has won three assists and six steals, which has earned him a six-time defensive selection.
First Team of the All-Tournament: Paul, Wang Jun, James, Durant, Noah.
Second team: Parker, Harden, Love, Griffin, Aldridge.
Team three: Lillard, Irving, Paul George, Randolph, Al Jefferson.
Most of the players in the best team are players from the class of 2005 onwards, and Wang Jun is already a veteran in the league.
