On May 5, the divisional semifinals between the Celtics and Wizards kicked off at the MCI Center.

Before the game, many fans were worried about whether the Wizards, who had been resting for 9 days, would affect the state of the game because of the long rest.

As it turned out, the fans' fears were not unreasonable.

Because on this night, Jordan, Hamilton, and Arenas hit only two of the first ten shots of the three combined.

However, at the end of the first quarter, the Celtics were 17-21 down against the Wizards who felt so badly.

Under the guard of Artey, Pierce, who can always play iron on the court in various positions, did not hit any of the first seven shots in the first quarter.

As for the absolute core of this Celtic team, the black-skinned and fat Bird "Volute" is interpreted with strength, what is called the template of Bird, and the "Dark Supreme Skin" can't be controlled.

In the playoffs, when Jordan, who put away the giggling, decided to seriously match up with Walker on the court, in a trance, Boss Joe found that the defensive "volute" guy didn't need him to invest much at all!

Anyway, he will be iron himself.

In the playoffs, there is no need to be sucked by Gasol like Boss Joe in the regular season.

Facing the Celtics, who had neither a big center nor a top rebounder, Gasol grabbed 14 rebounds in the first half alone.

In addition, on the sidelines, Wang Shuo also found the reason for the sluggish popularity of this Celtics team through subtle observation.

Although there is no evidence, in Wang Shuo's opinion, this Celtic team is 100% infighting.

On the court, the Green Army players, led by Kenny Anderson, clearly have a problem with the Green Army twin stars of Pierce and Walker.

Since making the playoffs, Walker and Pierce have combined for more than 15 three-pointers per night......

To be honest, if other Green Army players can have no opinion, then in Wang Shuo's view, it can only show that the temper of other players in the Celtics is not ordinarily good.

Yes, in another decade or so, in the NBA, there will be a pair of brothers called "Splash", who can throw the same as Pierce and Walker at this moment.

But here's the problem......

People "Golden State Lavin" and "Golden State Owen" are accurate!

After the first round of the playoffs, if Wang Shuo is not wrong about the technical statistics tonight, the three-point shooting rate of Walker and Pierce together is not even 30%!

That's it, who gave your brothers the confidence to dare to throw 15 three-pointers from the outside in a game?

Liang Jingru?

In fact, many people have a certain misunderstanding of Walker and Pierce in the future.

That is, because of the former's obsession with three-pointers, he mistakenly thinks that his athleticism is not good.

will be considered to be incapable of breaking through due to the latter's later size.

In fact, at this point in 2002, Pierce and Walker were quite capable of impacting.

In the regular season, the two guys combined for more than 10 times a game.

Moreover, both of these goods have a decent finishing efficiency under the basket.

In Wang Shuo's opinion, as long as these two brothers can optimize their playing style a little and increase the proportion of sudden shooting in the "combination of sudden throwing", then they are definitely a pair of Wang Bang combinations.

In addition, the head coach of this Celtics, Jimmy O'Brien, was also clearly born 20 years early.

In the second half of the game, when Wang Shuo saw that the Celtics took the initiative to remove Tony Barty, the only rim protector in his team, and instead played five hours of death composed of Eric Williams, Walker, Pierce, Derk, and Anderson......

For a moment, Wang Shuo really thought that he was facing an NBA team twenty years from now.

You may not believe it, but the tallest player on the court in the Celtics' lineup is 203 cm Walker.

Moreover, what is braver than the future Warriors is the two small guards in the Celtics lineup......

The height is only "183" cm.

Blessed are the Spanish fans who came from Barcelona to Washington tonight to support Gasol at the MCI Center.

Because Gasol, who has his hands in his pockets tonight, doesn't know what an opponent is at all.

On the court, the Wizards and Celtics' perimeter players are frequently helping out for their own reasons.

In the three-second zone, Gasol, who scored a full 20 points on two offenses alone tonight, just wanted to thank nature every time he grabbed a rebound.

Oh, behold this gift from nature!

In the end, 78-90, with Gasol's 36 points and 24 rebounds on this night, the Wizards successfully won their first game of the divisional semifinals with the Celtics.

On May 8th, the G2 match between the two teams continued at the MCI Center.

In this game, Walker and Pierce fully learned the lessons of the previous game.

The pair believed that the Celtics failed to win the last game because they didn't throw enough "big smart" on the outside, and shocked the world again in the G2 game.

In the whole game, the two brothers, who combined to fire a total of 22 times from outside the three-point line, successfully drove the other players on the court crazy, and also became the number one contributor to the Wizards' victory on this night.

Compared with the G1 game, the Wizards' outside feel has warmed up in this game.

Unfortunately, due to the good form of his teammates, Gasol, who only played 25 minutes in this game, only scored 18 points and added 17 rebounds.

It is worth mentioning that in this game, Joe Johnson, the newcomer selected by the Celtics this year, also had a fierce argument with Pierce and Walker on the court.

All right.

Now Wang Shuo understands why the Celtics will trade Joe Johnson next season.

Because obviously, it is impossible for normal people to fit into this Celtic team, which is already extremely happy.

On May 10, when Wang Shuo led the team to Boston to prepare for the team's G3 game with the Celtics tomorrow night, the NBA officially announced the major awards of the 01/02 regular season.

Jordan won the regular season MVP of the season without any suspense.

At the same time, Jordan, who won the regular season MVP at the age of 39, also successfully set a new NBA record for the oldest regular season MVP.

Boston, in an interview, Jordan, who was telling reporters one second that he was not mentally prepared to win the regular season MVP, took out the manuscript he had written in advance and gave a speech about success the next second.

Of course, this regular season MVP will not have any impact on Jordan's historical status.

After all, as the first person in NBA history, Jordan's historical status has no room for improvement.

Only, for those who want to surpass Jordan, or even compare themselves to Jordan......

The impact is slightly more than 100 million points.

In addition to Jordan, on the 10th, Wang Shuo, who won the NBA Best Coach of the Season, also set a number of records in one fell swoop:

The youngest best coach in NBA history.

The first foreign coach in NBA history to receive this honor.

The first NBA all-time All-Coach of the Year.

As the so-called reality does not need logic, but the selection of awards does.

Because of the need to find a proper reason for the 39-year-old Jordan to still have a season triple-double on the NBA stage, and the Wizards "overnight" from the bottom of the belly to a championship team......

So, this season, Wang Shuo, who led the Wizards to the top, got the first vote of all the judges when the judges selected the best coach.

No way.

The judges wanted to give their first vote to someone else.

But what's the matter, in addition to the absolute strength on the field, Wang Shuo also got an off-field weighting from Stern?

This season, in Stern's view, the most important reason why the NBA was able to get rid of the decline and bottom out is because the Wizards pulled back the suspense of the championship.

and the slam dunk contest that was saved by Wang Shuo's ghost idea.

In addition, Stern has the heart to support a young coach like Wang Shuo who likes to play offense, so this time the best head coach was given to Wang Shuo, and there was also a reward and recognition for his outstanding contributions to the NBA.

Boston, when it was learned that Wang Shuo was unanimously elected as the best head coach of the season, whether it was D'Antoni, Brown, or Ma Long, they all felt that they were stained with Wang Shuo's light.

After all, the title of Best Head Coach Assistant with full votes is quite a stepping stone when going out to interview for a head coach in the future.

Can......

D'Antoni and Malone are also forgotten.

But honestly where does Mike Brown know......

Before Wang Shuo crossed over, he was the first best head coach in NBA history.

In the future, Brown will become the first full-vote head coach of the year because he led the Sacramento Kings to break the 16-year pendulum curse.

In the NBA, it is very difficult to win the award of best coach when you have been the head coach of a strong team.

Because in the eyes of your peers, leashing a dog crown does not mean that you are strong in coaching.

Wang Shuo loves the feeling of winning awards, but also the feeling of constantly making history.

So if he has the opportunity in the future, he will definitely start his "nomadic dynasty", lead different teams, form different lineups, and win the championship!

In Boston, at Wang Shuo's award press conference, a reporter asked him what he thought of being elected NBA Coach of the Year with a full vote.

In this regard, Wang Shuo replied after two seconds of silence: "It deserves it. ”

Reporter: You're really not modest at all, huh?

Then, a reporter asked him the secret of the Wizards' success this season.

Wang Shuo deliberately sold a pass and said, "This is a secret, I will reveal the answer at the right time." ”

Finally, the reporters brought the topic back to this year's playoffs, asking Wang Shuo how confident he was to lead the Wizards to the Finals.

After a pause, Wang Shuo said, "Unfortunately, you have to ask God this question, but I think you are lucky. ”

Reporter: What do you mean?

Wang Shuo added: "Because at this moment, God is sitting in front of you. ”

Reporter: "......"

After the press conference, Wang Shuo's interview quickly became a hot topic among fans.

However, fans of the Washington Wizards retorted to Wang Shuo: "Wang is talking nonsense at all!"

Because in Washington, God can only come second, and He is first! ”

Washington fans, who have always been wronged, can be said to be proud of themselves this season under the leadership of Wang Shuo.

Fans in Washington love Wang Shuo's momentum that is not afraid of the sky and the earth, and anyone dares to be scared.

Of course, it is mainly because of the good record of the Wizards this season, as a fan of the Wizards, everyone has enough confidence to speak.

On the 10th, Wang Shuo's limelight even overshadowed Boss Qiao, who was not as high as Wang Shuo in the eyes of reporters, because the speech was too long.

As expected by Wang, after Jordan won the regular season MVP and he was voted the best head coach, Stern really gave Ben Wallace the best defensive player.

According to the "conscience", although Ben has played well this season, whether it is the team's defensive efficiency or the individual defensive efficiency on the field, it is "obvious" that Artai is the one who deserves to be the best defensive player.

But, this is the NBA under Stern.

The benefits can't all be given to you wizards.

After all, on the 10th, in addition to Jordan and Wang Shuo, in the Wizards, Gasol also took the best rookie of the season.

In addition, the Sixth Man of the Year and the Most Improved Player of the 01/02 season were won by Collis Williams and O'Neal Jr. respectively.

The results of the 01/02 Team of the Year and the Best Defensive Team are as follows:

First Team of the All-Tournament: O'Neal, Duncan, Jordan, Kobe, Kidd.

Second Team of the All: Big Ben, Garnett, Webb, Maddy, Iverson.

All-Match Team 3: Gasol, Nowitzki, Carter, Payton, Nash.

All-Defensive Team 1: Big Ben, Duncan, Artey, Kidd, Payton.

All-Defensive Second Team: Mutombo, Garnett, Jackson, Christie, Kobe.

The results of the award selection are released, and some people are happy and some are worried.

Artay, who failed to win the Defensive Player of the Year, was named to the All-Defensive Team for a while, and squeezed out Garnett's spot for the best defensive striker.

Thanks to the Wizards' previous more team-focused publicity, and the league's intention to cooperate with the Wizards to dilute the over-hype of Jordan, Jackson was also successfully named to the All-Defensive Second Team.

Gasol, who has become the light of Iberia, has become the biggest winner of the 01 rookie, and with his excellent performance against the 76ers, he squeezed out Mutombo and became the brightest star in Jordan's "deputy".

As for the only player in the big four quarterbacks who fell to the third line......

Anyway, at this time, who is "special" is embarrassed.

On the 11th, the wizards who won the award selection went to the next city at the North Shore Garden Arena.

On the court, the award-winning Wizards players were firing on fire, trying to prove that they deserved the accolades.

And the Wizards players who didn't win the award are even more desperate.

For example, Hamilton, who has been in C this season and has never paddled.

In the end, the score of this G3 battle was 113-91.

After three consecutive losses, the Celtics, who fell behind 0-3 with a big score, have basically been eliminated.

Because in the NBA, there has never been a precedent for a 0-3 comeback.

Even before Wang Shuo crossed......

The Celtics, who also have a pair of happy twin stars at the guard, also failed to turn the tables around.

On the 13th, the Wizards did not give the Celtics any chance, and at the end of the first quarter, they led 38-15, and even the fans of the North Shore Garden Arena chose to leave the court early.

As the game progressed, the more frustrated the Celtics players were, they just wanted to end the game quickly.

After a long spicy chicken time, 119 to 74.

The Wizards, who won 4 consecutive games in the divisional semifinals, successfully advanced to this year's Eastern Conference Finals!

In Washington, the local media, which is becoming more and more Wang Shuo, have complained about this: If the wizards continue to fight like this, the package tickets that everyone bought this year are not cost-effective at all! (NBA packages generally include the regular season and playoffs)

Look at the Nets next door, every round of the series is full, and that set of tickets is called a value!

In New Jersey, the Nets, who are preparing for the battle with the Pistons, just want to say "hehe" to the local media in Washington at this moment.

Because if you could, do you think the Nets would be willing to play every series so hard?

On the 14th, after leading the team back to Washington, he looked at the Nets, who had played 2-2 with the Pistons in the first four games of the series......

One thing to say, Wang Shuo really wants to complain about Byron Scott.

How did this product do it, with this net team with such a strong strength on paper, and this group of rookies in the east fought back and forth?

After watching the video, Wang Shuo came to his senses.

Boy......

It's just that Larry Brown hits and beats with Iverson's brainlessness......

Why did Scott dare to use Kidd as Iverson?

In Wang Shuo's previous life, he could always hear many people boast to him about how good Kidd's physical fitness was, how suitable he was for performing individual singles on the court, and how suitable he was for serving as the team's scoring core.

However......

This group of people really hadn't seen Kidd play at his peak.

Yes, Kidd's physical fitness is really good.

But have you ever considered the fact that Kidd's career, the highest points per game in the playoffs is just over 20 points?

Yes, Kidd can casually play against the opposing defender.

But, do you know that Kidd's career basket finishing rate will be more than 5 percent?

Oh yes, did you know that Iverson and Paul, the two "183s", have a higher finishing rate than Kidd?

Also, did you know that Kidd shot just 40 percent from the field in his career and 39.1 percent from the field in the playoffs?

No, I haven't watched Kidd's game, and I don't even know Kidd's strengths and weaknesses, how dare this group of people say that Kidd is suitable for being a sub-core?

If you don't blow it or black it, as far as Kidd's "equal" feel with Rubio, sometimes even if you put him on an empty basket, he dares to throw it to you.

Heaven is fair.

While giving Kidd a top-notch body and a perfect brain, he also ruthlessly deprived him of all kinds of touches when attacking.

In Wang Shuo's view, Scott's brainless offensive tactics of relying on Kidd to fight and launch can only be described as stupid.

Because Jason Kidd, even if he doesn't rush abruptly, he can connect the team on the court and organize the team's offense.

In this Nets team, the overall ball quotient of the players in the team is very high.

If Wang Shuo is in charge, he will definitely arrange for this Nets team to play Princeton and maximize the role of Kidd's commander on the court.

However, no matter how much Wang Shuo wanted to complain about Scott in his heart, the more stupid this thing was, the better it would be for the Wizards.

Because now, the Wizards, who are the first to advance to the Eastern Conference finals, can wait for the Nets and Pistons to peck each other, and then wait for work and win the ticket to the finals in one go!
