After the Rookie of the Year award was presented, this season's Most Improved Player award also had a final result.

The Bobcats' Pascal Siakam is the winner of the Most Improved Player award this season with an average of 16.9 points, 6.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 0.9 steals per game.

Speaking of which, because the elite of the '18 draft is mainly concentrated in the first half, the Bobcats' rookies this year are not conspicuous, and compared with Mitchell, who almost won the "best rookie" last year, there is no comparison at all.

But Michael Jordan wasn't disappointed at all.

The reason is Siakam's growth!

He has grown into one of the league's leading wings this season.

Together with Kristaps Porzingis, who averaged 22.6 points and 7.4 rebounds per game, and Mitchell, who grew further after entering the second year, averaging 23.2 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4 assists per game, he formed the Bobcats' "Three Musketeers", and it is also his Michael Jordan's "God's Vision" masterpiece!

So, even if the Bobcats didn't pick the guy they wanted this season, and that guy was chosen by Michael Jordan, it was ......

So what?

Look at Siakam, look at Mitchell, look at Porzingis, and my Joe's gaze won't be proven?

Even if it's water this season, it's normal, who can pick up the treasure every time?

Li Wan?

Li Wan......

Plum......

Lee, you get me out!

Have you ever heard such a saying?

A draft life without mistakes is an imperfect life!

With these three guys selected by God's Vision, the Bobcats made it to the playoffs.

However, it is a pity that they bumped into Li Wan and Columbus.

Over the years, Li Wan and his team have gradually gained a nickname, called "New Team Killer"!

Those teams that have just made some achievements and finally made it to the playoffs from the rebuilding stage, after entering the playoffs for the first time, as long as they meet Li Wan, few teams will end well!

The only one who is getting more and more frustrated is the Bucks, "Brother Alphabet" led the team step by step to climb to the third place in the East when he was almost self-defeating, and even played the regular season MVP, ...... If the standard of the regular season MVP is Li Wan's performance this season, then he may have to go a little later, but if it is the standard of the regular season MVP in previous years, he can definitely enter the selection standard!

It is also for this reason that "Brother Alphabet" has become an inspirational model in the alliance.

He is the poster child of the Alliance's growing frustration.

The opposite of him is LeBron James!

Because at the beginning of the playoffs, "Brother Alphabet" was also beaten 0-N for a while, but he did not leave his parent team immediately, but chose to wait for his team to grow up, and achieved a zero breakthrough with his teammates.

On the other hand, LeBron James was beaten by Li Wan with a "0-n" with the Cavaliers, with a "0-n" run with the Heat, and then ran with the Warriors with a "0-4", and now runs the Lakers!

Two people face the same situation, but turn out to be different.

So......

Persistence is victory!

It's the best thing in sports, but LeBron James just doesn't care about it.

Well......

can't even compare to "Brother Alphabet", which shows how bad the LeBron James reputation is in this time and space!

This is really a wind comment that can't be changed by the media news that you have formed!

is also because Li Wan's team has ruined the dream of rebuilding too many teams, so the biggest attraction of this round of the series is actually ......

After the Bobcats are eliminated, will they have the idea of "going to the special basketball dream"?

Yes, that's the only suspense, and in the eyes of this group of experts, the Bobcats don't have a chance of winning.

And the first game of this series proved it:

With a 116-95 point difference, the Columbus Explorers easily won the first game of the series.

Li Wan only played 30 minutes and scored 57 points, of course, for Li Wan this season, this is a routine operation, so no one is surprised, the Columbus people feel unfinished, can't the other side resist for a while?

Surrender the gun so quickly......

They all want to send the "Ten Perfect Tonic Soup"!

The Columbus reporter on the sidelines saw all this in his eyes and couldn't help but say: "I'm very worried about the core of the Explorers in the post-Lewan era......

has seen such a performance, what kind of performance do latecomers have to play in order for them to leave such a lost shadow in Li Wan's heart.

In fact, this is really not an unfounded fear.

Look no further than New York!

The city that has seen Li Wanjun after coming to the world, what kind of desolation is it now...... Seriously, if it weren't for Li Wan playing an era there and his personal performance was impeccable, New York wouldn't be in a mess until now.

A man's mouth is tricky.

is like the brothers who read books, they dated Zhou Huimin, and if they broke up, they had to find at least a Wang Zuxian-level ......

Human nature is all the same.

Columbus people have struggled since childhood, and at the beginning they thought that it was good to have a team here, and they would definitely support it every day.

But after Li Wan "filled" them with explosive performances day after day, once the latecomers can't achieve such performances, it is easy for people to feel empty.

The performance of the three "musketeers" of the Bobcats is actually not bad.

Mitchell had 21 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists; Porzingis also had 24 points and seven rebounds; As for Siakam, the "Most Improved Player Award" this season, his performance was also similar to the regular season with 18 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists......

The Columbus Explorers did not specifically target any of them.

But this game is fighting, and gradually it enters "garbage time".

Mitchell and the three of them looked frustrated at the end of the game. They worked very hard to chase the score, but they couldn't catch up with Li Wan's shot alone......

This feeling of combining the strength of three people, but not being able to catch up with one person, is really bad, and it also makes them feel that their opponents cannot be defeated.

This feeling is not unique to this game, this feeling has continued for the rest of this series, Li Wan has averaged 58.5 points, 14.5 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game in four games, almost single-handedly overturning the Bobcats.

At the end of the fourth game of the series, when the final whistle blew, Li Wan hugged the "Three Musketeers" of the Bobcat team one by one, and sent the league's biggest lie:

The future is yours!

Well......

Maybe it's really theirs this time, because it's been 19 years now, and Li Wan, who entered the league in '07, has been playing this season for 12 years.

He entered the league at the age of 19 and is now 31 years old!

And Porzingis, the oldest of the "three musketeers", is only 24 years old...... 7 years younger than Li Wan......

Even if Li Wan can fight again, he should retire at the age of 41, right?

Well?

I don't know why Porzingis is in a cold sweat behind his back.

What if?

What if Li Wan wanted to rule this alliance for another ten years?

The media found that Li Wan just sat in his place very calmly after the series, as if he was ......

None of this is a big deal!

However, if you think about it, Li Wandu has been playing in this league for 12 years, not to mention the number of times he has swept his opponent in the playoffs, plus the opponent is still a youth army like the Bobcats......

It's actually quite normal that there aren't too many mood swings.

During the time Columbus entered the second round of the playoffs, the league also announced several other awards for the season:

The "Best Sixth Man Award" still belongs to Louis Williams, and since he went to the Clippers, he has started the mode of dominating the "Best Sixth Man" award as before!

To say that this guy is indeed a representative player of "off-peak travel".

He didn't play that well in the starting position, but when he was put on the bench for two or three minutes before he came on, he was in great shape right away, which ......

Ordinary people really can't explain it!

Well......

It's not an ordinary person, and it can't be explained, it can only be said to be a personal characteristic, like he can make two girlfriends exist at the same time, and both are willing to agree with Louis Williams to date each other......

That's what it's like!

The "General Manager of the Season Award" belongs to the Warriors' "Logo Man".

Although the summer trade was not led by the Warriors, they really made a profit, and their strength with Kevin Durant not only did not decline because of the departure of LeBron James, but because of the arrival of Kevin Durant, the team's system was more perfect, and the Warriors at this time can be said to be truly "doing their jobs"!

The "Coach of the Season Award" belongs to Malone of the Nuggets.

As the only "dark horse" this season, and there are no supergiants in the lineup, but this team has forced the Lakers with LeBron James and Chris Paul, Irving and Jordan Jr. behind.

This "Manager of the Season" really can't help but give them!

With the Columbus Explorers sweeping the Bobcats.

Several other sets of duels have also come to fruition.

The Raptors, like them, swept the opponent very easily, and the Bucks played five games against the Celtics, and finally defeated the opponent 4-1, and the most intense game was the Philadelphia 76ers and the Wizards.

The end result was 4-2!

is a bit unexpected from the outside world, the main reason is that Embiid did not play the dominance that the outside world thought he would have in the face of Howard, but Howard limited him well on the defensive end......

If it weren't for Wall's worsening ankle injury, I really can't say what the direction of this series would be.

Li Wan looked at his opponent in the next round, looked at Embiid's performance, and said in his heart:

Almost!

This guy will be manifested in advance!

Looking at the "Emperor" Embiid, who is rough and can play under the basket, is actually a "soft egg", Howard shows a tough side, and the more he hits, the more he hits, the more he goes out!

It is also for this reason that Howard is getting better and better, although they lost this round of the series, Howard got 17.4 points and 10.6 rebounds, which can be regarded as a small response to rumors that he is old.

See?

Dude fights these new generations, or catch one by one!

That is, there are not so many fans, plus there are a bunch of cerebral palsy things, otherwise, I am afraid that there are really fans shouting for me: The Wizards lost, but Howard did not!

The team went through a lot of ups and downs to reach the second round of the playoffs, which should have been a cause for joy, but after confirming the next round, Ben Simmons was not so happy in an interview.

Because......

Li Wan and the Columbus Explorers are their opponents in the next round.

In this round of games with the Wizards, his performance was actually very good, averaging 16.6 points, 7.8 rebounds and 8.4 assists per game, and in the case of Embiid's average of 21.4 points and 9.8 rebounds per game, he and Embiid really can't distinguish any "big and small kings"!

But as long as he plays against the Columbus Explorers, his statistics will definitely plummet "off a cliff", and he is very reluctant to give up his current reputation.

Many media think that he has grown a lot in the second season of his career!

When the second round starts, I'm afraid I won't see it.

Well, how to say it!

Ben Simmons is also "beaten" out of habit!

In the second round of the series, the first game between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Columbus Explorers came up, and the whole process was no different from what Ben Simmons had experienced before.

However, it's no wonder that the Columbus Explorers would do this, this is the playoffs after all!

Moreover, this trick is really good!

Ben Simmons' shot is as stiff as if he is not holding a ball in his hand, but a brick!

Seashell......

Barkley spotted Huadian: "Do you think it is not that Ben Simmons doesn't want to practice shooting, but that he can't practice shooting at all?" ”

As soon as this point of view came out, the usual Kenny Smith immediately showed a sudden realization, and in his opinion, it was really too likely!

So, the idea that Ben Simmons can't practice shooting came like this.

At the end of the game, Simmons shot 5-of-16 from the field, and he shot a total of 6 shots from mid-to-long range, and the shooting percentage was quite explosive 0-of-6.

Ben Simmons felt his head sink after the game.

The reporter asked Barkley's opinion: "Man, do you think you can practice shooting?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Ben Simmons was not happy at the time.

What is "Can I practice shooting?" ”

Isn't shooting the easiest technique in the world?

As long as you practice, it will definitely have an effect!

Can this be practiced?

He glanced at the reporter with disdain.

Wait!

Wait for my shot to blind you!

He decided that he must practice his shooting this summer!

His determination......

Li Wan didn't know, if Li Wan knew, he would definitely say: "There is a long way to go!" ”

In fact, Ben Simmons has no problem with his views on shooting:

Practice will definitely have an effect!

Just like LeBron James, when he was with the Heat, Pat Riley stared at him, allowing him to practice consistent shooting and maintain a good hand. But for people who feel stiff to the touch, this is the only way!

Once you don't have that much training, the shooting accuracy will definitely drop significantly.

This is also why the 37-year-old Ray Allen completed the "three-point tie" in the Finals, while the 39-year-old LeBron James's three-point shooting rate is only about 20% when he is shot.

This is really unpracticed!

Including Howard at the beginning, he also had a very stiff close-range shot, but he didn't stick to it in the end.

Because it takes shooting training day after day to maintain his hand, where does he have this time?

It's better to pick up two sets of iron to ensure the strength of your body, and then rely on your body to eat!

It's a common problem for people with physical gifts, and that's true for LeBron James, it's true for Howard, and now Ben Simmons.

He can solve most of the problems by relying on his physical talent, and if Li Wan hadn't been so targeted, infinitely magnifying his shortcomings of not having a mid-range shot, he would not have actually had the idea of practicing mid-range projection.

In the end, the Philadelphia 76ers also lost to the Columbus Explorers by 101-123, 22 points.

If you just look at the point difference, you can't tell if it's the Philadelphia 76ers or the series against the Bobcats isn't over yet.

Embiid wasn't very upset after the game because he ......

got 23 points, 12 rebounds and 3 blocks, and the performance was very eye-catching!

Played well and lost the game, for Embiid......

What's the difference between that and not losing?

Give me Li Wan, won't I win?

Well......

Embiid also has one of the biggest problems, that is, he has a lot of excuses, of course, this is not his problem alone, and several new generations have this problem.

The most explosive thing is "Brother Alphabet", the sentence "If you don't win the championship, even if you fail, then Jordan only has 6 seasons" is simply explosive.

He really didn't think that even according to his logic, Jordan still has 6 seasons, but he only has one season!

The so-called calmly accepting failure emphasizes calmness, rather than accepting failure!

When you feel that it doesn't matter if you fail, where is the motivation to pursue success?

In fact, this is the reason why many players can't go further.

Including a certain GOAT, who spent eight seasons proving that he didn't have the ability to lead a team to a championship alone, and then spent the rest of his career betting on basketball shortcuts, he was eager to succeed, but he came to the wrong conclusion in the face of failure.

He is not thinking about how to improve himself, but about improving the strength of his teammates.

If this team is not strong enough, then I will change teams.

As for the impact of the team change, it doesn't matter, just find a reason.

What "brother basketball", what "hometown basketball", there is really no reason, and he can still have a "school district room basketball", he feels that he is old, but he wants to continue to collect honors and consolidate his status, he can also have a "father and son basketball"......

But just like a man or a woman who wants to break up, he has countless reasons, and there are countless reasons to want to change teams!

But in the end, he only won 4 championship trophies.

Knowing that his hard power can't be compared, then find another way, the "411" project took office, but in the end, it made passers-by and fans feel more and more outrageous......

From this point of view, he really didn't play a good role model.

Everyone knows who started the pinnacle huddle!

So much so that in the later leagues, everyone's first reaction to losing was:

My teammates can't!

I never thought that I couldn't do it!

Until Jokic came out, but even so, the atmosphere has been formed, there are no shortcuts in basketball, but there are really shortcuts in the NBA!

But this plane is a little different.

Although it is still a "superstar", it is all about dealing with Li Wan, you must know that after leaving New York, the highest-level teammate around Li Wan is Chris Bosh, or Chris Bosh after a year of rest due to blood clots......

And then there's Carmelo Anthony, who is left with only the peak tail......

These guys who have scored in the second team are all relying on the team's record and Li Wan's data to contain them, and Li Wan won another "three consecutive championships" and began to impact the "two masters" of the "four consecutive championships".

The rest are the rookies selected by the team after Li Wan left New York.

Li Wan has long stopped taking the road of "huddle", but the atmosphere of this alliance has not changed, and the biggest reason is that Li Wan is too strong, and he doesn't want other supergiants who are idle to do anything can only try to snipe Li Wan through various "permutations and combinations".

It's just a pity......

They still haven't been able to do it!

Li Wan won another "triple championship" in this era of extreme grouping!

After the Columbus Explorers easily won the first game of the second round of the series, the league also announced this season's "Team of the Year":

"Best Team: Leewan, James Harden, Kevin Durant, Paul George, Embiid;

Best Second Team: Stephen Curry, DeRozan, Leonard, Anthony Davis, Jokic;

Best three teams: Mike Conley, Westbrook, LeBron James, Antetokounmpo, Oden; ”

Embiid made it to the "best team" this season, but he took advantage of the data, he is the most explosive player at the No. 5 position this year, averaging 25.4 points, 12.3 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 2.3 blocks per game!

But in terms of the role of the team, in fact, Jokic is above him, this is the real team hub, and it can even be said that in terms of the current role of Jokic in the team, without him, the current Nuggets team will immediately enter the rebuild, without a little nap!

The "three teams" belong to Oden, his data this year is not as good as in previous years, and there is a "20 plus 10" in previous years, but this year he averaged only 16.8 points and 10.2 rebounds per game.

However, the team's record is enough to make him selected.

His stats just aren't that good, but they still have an advantage over Green.

Green averaged 9.8 points, 7.6 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game, which is not bad for his "double-double", but Oden still averaged 2.5 rebounds per game!

Plus, Mike Conley is back on the list.

After coming to the Trail Blazers this season, he averaged 19.8 points and 7.6 assists per game, coupled with the team's record, allowing him to squeeze out Chris Paul and other No. 1 positions and successfully enter the "Best Team".

This is the second time the Ohio Four have been named to the All-Star team at the same time.

It is also for this reason that some media directly gave the topic: "Are the Ohio brothers the most dominant foursome in NCAA history!" ”

As a result, nearly 70% of fans agree with this statement.

Of course, the main reason is because of Li Wan!

However, even if Li Wan is not so strong, this lineup is still very capable of playing.

At least they've been in the league for so many years, which is rare for the NCAA to enter the league in the same year.

Take the "Florida Five" who competed with them in the 07 NCAA Finals, and now there are only Noah and Al Horford left, and even Noah suffered an injury this season, and he was slowly reduced to a bench player, but these three people were also selected for the "best team" together.

Reporters have searched through the entire history of the NBA, but they have not found such an evergreen combination as them!

Paul George appeared in the "best team" for the first time in his career, and the person he squeezed out was LeBron James.

After leaving the Warriors, LeBron James fell to the "best three" team for the first time in his career, and the last time he was selected only for the "best three" was more than a decade ago.

This has also become another proof of his declining form.

Seriously, it's good that the Lakers defeated the Nuggets 4-2 in the first round and entered the second round, otherwise ......

All right!

The current situation is not much better at all, because LeBron James, who faced the Warriors in the second round, gave the Warriors a 111-96 point difference in the first game.

The team was beaten the whole time, and there was no room for resistance!

Looking at it, it is not surprising that LeBron James is going to experience another sweep in this series.

Along with the "Best Team", there is also a list of "Best Defensive Formations":

"Best Defensive Team: Levan Lee, Gobert, Paul George, Smart, Antetokounmpo;

All-Defensive Second Team: Wiggins, Klay Thompson, Embiid, Green, Holiday ”

There hasn't been much change to this year's All-Defensive Team list, with Smart's presence in the "Defensive First Formation" being the biggest change.

However, this guy has really grown into an outside defensive iron gate that can give opponents a headache.

After announcing the All-NBA team, the Columbus Explorers continued to ravage the Philadelphia 76ers, and Ben Simmons lost the light in his eyes.

Although he had already experienced the same torture a long time ago.

But there are some pains that you can't get used to after going through them several times.

For example, in the game with the Columbus Explorers, the gang of people led by Li Wan tortured him.

It's not just defense, it's torture.

It's not just his form that destroys his game, it's also his self-confidence.

When he lost Game 3 of the series, Ben Simmons had the idea that I wasn't the worst "champion" in the world.

It's no wonder that he thinks so, it's just that he was hammered so painfully that he couldn't fight back at all.

This is really a difficult thing for Ben Simmons, who has never had any setbacks in basketball since he was a child!

The big score came to 3-0, and Columbus was one step away from entering the Eastern Conference Finals.

The league announced the "Best Defensive Player Award" for the season the following day.

"Brother Alphabet" won this award!
