Chapter 162: Elimination of the Green Army and the MVP of the regular season
"Wang Chao scored 49 points to help the Magic team defeat the Celtics to take the lead in the match point, with a total score of 3:1, and the Celtics were on the verge of being eliminated."
After the game, Wang Chao responded strongly to Pierce, didn't he say that he was going to start a counterattack? I'll wait! ”
The Magic team, which leads by a big score of 3:1, has a probability of successfully advancing to the Eastern Conference finals as high as 97% in terms of the odds offered by Spinach, while the probability that the Celtics can complete the Jedi comeback and reverse the situation is only 3%.
The harsh reality has forced many Celtics fans to recognize the current situation, and some have even begun to discuss whether the Green Army should break up the Big Three as a bargaining chip and build a new roster around the newly rising Rondo rebuild.
The Big Three have been formed for three years, but they haven't even been able to enter the finals once, which is really unreasonable, and the Big Three of the Green Army were originally gathered for the championship, if they can't win the championship, I'm afraid some of them need to prepare for the next.
This refers to Kevin. Garnett, as the only superstar in the Big Three, Garnett's personal accolades can be described as a lot of money, regular season MVP, best defensive player DPOY, best team, first defense to get soft, these honors Pierce and Ray. Aaron's two tied together can't compare to him.
Because of this, Garnett's desire for a championship is far greater than that of the other two, after all, after reaching his level of personal achievement, the only way to improve his status in history is to win an NBA championship.
As one of the best power forwards of the past decade, Garnett has always been held steady by Duncan because he didn't even have a championship.
What Garnett thinks, I'm afraid only he and his agent know.
But the Celtics' defeat is already a certainty.
On May 11th, the fifth game of the series, the Celtics, who were unwilling to fail like this, set off the most ferocious counterattack, which did have a lot of effects, and the Magic team, which did not want to play with the Celtics, chose to avoid the edge for the time being, even if they lost this game, they did not want their players to be injured in the process of fighting with each other, after all, the playoffs have reached the division semifinals, and once the main force is injured, it is likely to affect the Eastern Conference Finals and even the finals.
The Celtics, who stubbornly won a game, still lost the sixth game of the series, with a total score of 4-2, and the Magic defeated the Celtics in the playoffs for the third consecutive season and successfully advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals.
Throughout the series, Wang Chao and Howard on the Magic team's side played at the same time, Wang Chao averaged 30.2 points, 4.7 rebounds and 7.3 assists per game, and Howard averaged 21.8 points, 12.7 rebounds and 3.2 blocks per game.
On the other hand, on the Celtics' side, the Big Three's six games have been unsatisfactory.
Paul. Pierce had 18.3 points, seven rebounds and 3.8 assists, Ray Allen had 15.7 points, four rebounds and three assists, and Garnett had 13.7 points and eight rebounds......
It turns out that the days of belonging to the Big Three are really over.
In the following seasons, the Celtics were still one of the giants in the East, but at that time, the real core of the Celtics had become Rajan. Rondo.
Wang Chao doesn't know if there is no successful case of the Celtics' Big Three winning the championship, James will still stage a decisive drama and bring his talent to the South Coast to form the Heat Big Three, but in any case, after these three years, the Celtics no longer have the previous super combat effectiveness, even if the 11-12 season returns to the glory and the Heat team in the Eastern Conference finals seven games are not of any reference significance, at least compared with the current Magic team, they are no longer opponents.
……
The Magic's opponent in the East showdown did not have any suspense, and it was the Cavaliers who eliminated the Hawks 4:1.
There's no Jamal for the best sixth man. Crawford's Hawks themselves are weaker than the original, although the Cavaliers' elderly Big Three are worrisome in combat, but there is a saying that the Cavaliers are still a little stronger than the same period in the original history, Carter is a former All-Star player even if his state declines quickly, and he also averaged 20+ points per game last season, so it is impossible to lose his combat effectiveness immediately in just one season.
Carter, who entered the playoffs, averaged 15.7 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game, which is better than nothing.
However, the Cavaliers are lucky to be able to reach the Eastern Conference finals, and if they meet the Celtics in the division semifinals as they did in their original history, then James will most likely still be beaten by the three old hooligans of the Green Army.
Judging by the fighting power displayed by the Celtics and the Magic in the division semifinals, the Cavaliers are really no match.
Even the Celtics can't beat it, let alone the Magic.
However, the popularity of the Eastern showdown between the Magic and the Cavaliers is quite high, after all, it involves two groups of highly watched matchups.
One is the clash between Wang Chao and James, two of the most powerful forwards of the new generation.
The other is the duel between Howard and O'Neal's new and old generations of champion centers.
There is actually nothing to say about the matchup between Howard and O'Neal, O'Neal has long been disqualified to be compared with Howard at the end of his career, but fans who have always believed in the lethality of the big shark basket are sure that even if he is over 38 years old, as long as O'Neal is serious, Howard is not an opponent at all, even if the physical strength cannot withstand the four quarters of the game, as long as Howard can be suppressed in a certain quarter or even a certain period of time, the Cavaliers' money is not in vain.
And O'Neal has also shouted before that the 70-win Magic team is not as good as the Lakers during the three-consecutive championship period of the OK combination.
So now there are many people who eat melons who want to see what kind of performance O'Neal will have when he personally plays against the 70-win Magic team and the Super Magic combination.
As for Wang Chao vs James, it is obviously the hottest matchup right now, second only to the 24vs23 that has been laid out for a long time in the league.
James just won the first regular season MVP of his career last season, and Wang Chao also won the first Finals FMVP last season.
The two also happen to be relatively close in age, James entered the league a year earlier than Wang Chao, but his age is one year younger than Wang Chao.
James' accolades are higher than Wang's, but at the age of 27, Wang Chao already has two championship rings and an FMVP, so it's hard to say which of the two sides is more successful.
Before the start of the Eastern Conference Finals, the season awards announced by the league also made Wang Chao's honor a qualitative leap.
In the 2009-10 regular season MVP selection, Wang Chao became the first regular season MVP from China in the history of the league with 35.2% of the votes.
James, as the biggest rival of Wang Chao, received 32.7% of the votes, narrowly missing out on the second regular season MVP trophy of his career by 2.5%.
In fact, anyone can see that James is on the ballot, although the two can be said to be equal in terms of personal data, but in terms of team honors, James was far behind by Wang Chao, after all, the Magic team won 70-12 in the regular season, but the Cavaliers only had 59 wins, which was not as good as last season.
If James can win the regular season MVP in this way, then the shady scene is too exaggerated.
Although the league during Stern's tenure will engage in some commercial gimmicks and even favor superstar players in terms of blowing penalty rules, it is really not to the extent that it completely reverses right and wrong for the sake of profit, otherwise the Finals No. 24 vs No. 23, which has been fried for so many years, will not have been unsuccessful.
Therefore, even though James has the bias of the voting of reporters in the United States, there are still many reporters who vote for Wang Chao, so that Wang Chao surpassed James in the vote rate and successfully won the regular season MVP.
It's just that in this way, James is even more embarrassed.
Everyone is a good player of the new generation, you have an MVP, you have me, you have a scoring champion, not only do I have two, but the championship that can most affect a star's historical status, you don't have it, I already have two.
All of a sudden, the pressure came to James's side.
After all, as the champion of 03 and the chosen son, James is considered by many to be the "emperor" destined for the King's Landing Alliance!
What is Wang Chao?
Not only did he enter the league a year later than James, but he was also a second-round rookie, which is completely different from James, who is the top pick.
is such a mud leg, but in just a few years after joining the league, he has achieved corner overtaking, and his personal honor is equal to James's while winning two more championships than James.
How can this not be angry?
On the day the regular season MVP was announced, James did not appear in the public eye all day, and even a day later, when a reporter captured James, it was obvious that the other party's gloomy face could be seen.
James was really in a bit of a hurry.
Wang Chao's existence is like the child next door in elementary school, no matter how good you are, you will be hit to the ground.
"We have to win the championship this year!"
James realized that if he lost to Wang Chao again this season and missed the championship, or even worse, the Magic team successfully defended the title and Wang Chao got the third championship ring of his career, then he would really be ridden by Wang Chao.
It's not just James who is unhappy.
In Oklahoma City, Durant turned off the TV, and the expression on his face was not much better than James'.
"That guy actually won the regular season MVP, damn it......"
failed to beat Wang Chao in the competition for the scoring title, which made Durant very unhappy, and therefore hated Wang Chao, after all, in the last few games, Wang Chao obviously intended to brush up on points and grab the score with him.
If it weren't for Wang Chao, Durant would have been able to win the points crown in the third season of his career and successfully establish his popularity in the league.
Durant didn't think about the last few games at all because he scored first, which caused Wang Chao to also brush up on high scores, and attributed the reason for not winning the scoring title to Wang Chao, and now seeing that Wang Chao not only played well in the playoffs, but also won the regular season MVP, how could Durant, who has never had a big heart, swallow this breath?
Durant, who was sitting on the sofa and sulking for a long time, thought about it, and immediately skillfully opened the computer to log in to his vest and start a series of operations on the Internet.
"Wang Chao doesn't deserve to be the regular season MVP at all, the Magic team can achieve a 70-win record because the overall strength of the team is strong enough, and he has Dwight who has just won the best defensive player in a row, in contrast, James can lead the team to the Eastern Conference finals and deserve to be MVP!"
Posting a tirade online, Adu's face was beaming with a smile.
……
The league announced the season awards, and the Magic were undoubtedly the biggest winners, Wang Chao was named the regular season MVP, Howard was named the best defensive player, and Jamal was named the best defensive player. Crawford, as in history, was named Sixth Man of the Year in '09-10.
As for the other awards, there was no suspense about the best rookie, and he was beaten by Kings guard Terek, who averaged 20+5+5 per game. Evans captured.
The Most Improved Player award went to Rockets guard Aaron Aaron. Brooks.
The best coach is, of course, Stan, who led the team to a 70-12 record. Van Gundy.
There were six grand prizes, and the Magic won four of them, which is not an exaggeration to describe as the biggest winner.
On May 15, the regular season MVP award ceremony was held at the home of the Magic, Amway Arena in Orlando.
Wang Chao, who was dressed in a straight suit, had a bright smile on his face, handsome and compelling.
All members of the Magic team attended the award ceremony, Wang Chao's compatriots, Da Yao of the Rockets, and the United Arab Emirates of the Nets also came. Nash also came to the scene in person to send blessings to Wang Chao.
Nash's presence in person was really a bit unexpected by Wang Chao.
You must know that Nash is not idle at all, after the Suns defeated the Trail Blazers in the first round to advance, they easily swept the Spurs 4:0 in the second round, and are now actively preparing for the Western Conference Finals with the Lakers, the first game between the two teams will start on May 17, so Nash has to fly back to Phoenix immediately after participating in Wang Chao's award ceremony.
Wang Chao and Nash have always had a good personal relationship, and the two have the same agent, Bill. Duffy, to be exact, Bill. Duffy's contact information was still told by Nash.
Wang Chao, who took the stage, made an award-winning speech according to the speech prepared in advance, and like most awards, he thanked his family, friends, team, and teammates for their support and help.
Wang Chao was very calm throughout the whole process, and he didn't choke up in the middle of his speech or was so moved that he couldn't cry.
There is no way, Wang Chao's regular season MVP is really not very difficult to win, and the process can even be said to be quite easy, and there is really no mental journey to talk about.
Even in Wang Chao's view, this regular season MVP is just the beginning of his ungodly career, and he will continue to receive various honors in the next few seasons, such as regular season MVP, finals FMVP, scoring champion, and even assist king......
The so-called strongest in history is gradually formed under the accumulation of these top honors.
Wang Chao, who has a system, will definitely go through this stage, and even continue to surpass various top stars in the history of the league, until he surpasses Michael, the world-recognized basketball god. Jordan, become the new god of basketball.
Of course, along the way, there will inevitably be all kinds of fierce competition, leaving behind the corpses of losers, and those stars who should be radiant will also be overshadowed by their own light.
Not to mention the future, there is far more than one star affected by Wang Chao now.
James, who was robbed of the second regular season MVP by Wang Chao, Durant, who lost the first scoring title in his career, and the Big Three of the Green Army who failed to win the championship are all among them.
