Chapter 262: Award Selection, Longing for Opponents! (The update postponed due to fever brings!) )

Two days later, the Eastern Conference semifinals G2 match between the Hornets and the 76ers continued at the Spectrum Center.

Before the start of this G2 game, the NBA officially announced the list of winners of the major awards in the 13/14 season.

This year's regular season MVP was unsurprisingly won by Kevin Durant.

Under Stevens, Durant had a phenomenal regular season this year, averaging 33.1 points, 7.8 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game for the Thunder.

In terms of performance on the court alone, Durant is indeed the first active player in the NBA this season.

It's a pity, even with the blessing of the regular season MVP......

can't change Durant's image of Dick Silk that has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

At the press conference held by the Thunder for him, Durant who hoped that Scarlett Johansson would give him a photo album......

It took less than a few hours to succeed before the league regretted sending him this year's regular season MVP.

New York, NBA Headquarters.

While watching Durant's MVP acceptance speech on TV, the new league president Mark was stunned.

At this moment, Mark did not understand and could not understand......

So what's so good about Scarlett Johansson that deserves Durant to kneel and lick her again and again on such a high-profile occasion?

No!

You're a decent NBA regular season MVP!

Can we not teach those children who want to play basketball on this occasion?

Shortly after Durant delivered his acceptance speech, the New York media vividly presented the image of the new MVP to the world with a cartoon:

I saw that on the left side of the comic, the "widow sister" in an evening dress was holding a dog chain in one hand and a bone in the other.

On the right side of the comic, Durant, who is wearing a Thunder jersey with the word "MVP" written on the jersey, is in the image of a licking dog, wagging his tail while kneeling and licking the high heels of the "widow sister".

On the 10th.

As soon as this cartoon came out, the entire NBA collectively broke the defense.

Because as the new MVP of the NBA, Durant almost single-handedly lowered the image of the NBA regular season MVP in the minds of American fans.

At this moment, if there is a regret medicine in this world......

No matter what kind of shady scene it will be said afterwards, Mark will definitely send this year's regular season MVP to others under the pressure of public opinion.

In addition to the regular season MVP, this year's best coach was also won by Thunder Major Coach Stevens.

Over the years, as Wang Shuo has surpassed Auerbach in the minds of most people, the NBA official has long acquiesced to the unspoken rule that Wang Shuo will not participate in the selection of the best coach.

This season, Stevens led the Thunder to a successful victory in the West in the regular season, and under the premise that Wang Shuo did not participate in the best coach selection, he led the Thunder to the best record in the league.

It's just that after Stevens successfully proved his coaching ability with his coaching experience with the Thunder......

The pressure also suddenly fell on the Celtics and LeBron James.

In this life, there is no James on the Internet who dares to speak hard, and James can't win the championship because his teammates and coaches can't do it.

In fact, in Wang Shuo's previous life, James's fans also had no reason to dump the pot that James could not surpass Jordan to his teammates and coaches.

Because if Wang Shuo remembers correctly, before he crossed over, there were as many as 33 All-Star players who had worked with James alone.

This data ranks first in NBA history.

In addition, the number of first-team, second-team, first-team, and second-team players that James has worked with also ranks first in history.

Admittedly, when it comes to career honors, James has never been the first in league history.

But in terms of the quality of his teammates, he is definitely a well-deserved "GOAT".

Secondly, in terms of the quality of the head coaches he has worked with in his career, James is also the first person in history.

Because Mike Brown, Mike Malone, Tyronn Lue, and Spoelstra will all use their future coaching experience to prove that they were the best head coaches in the NBA before Wang Shuo crossed.

Among them, especially Spoelstra, who was thought by James to not understand basketball at all during the Heat period, will become a god in the hearts of countless neutral fans in the future......

Because in the future, in the minds of most fans, even if you let Spoelstra coach the homeless people outside the Heat Arena......

Spoelstra could also develop him into a qualified NBA player.

But here's the bizarre thing......

Even though he's worked with so many great teammates in his career, James doesn't think he'll ever play for a superteam in the future.

And most absolutely, in James's opinion, in his long career, he has never met a head coach who can fully exert his dominance.

In terms of the coaching style of Brown, Malone, Lue and Spoelstra......

What these four coaches are good at is how to bring out the dominance of their biggest stars on the field.

Therefore, let's just say, is there a possibility......

James simply doesn't have the dominance of his own fantasies, and the strength of his fans' fantasies?

In the NBA, there are players who, the more you dig into his career, the more you feel like he's so strong that he doesn't look like a human at all.

Like Michael Jordan.

And some of the players ......

The more you dig into his career, the more you feel like it's not worth its name.

On the 10th, in addition to the regular season MVP and the best head coach, this year's Defensive Player, Rookie of the Year, Sixth Man of the Year and Most Improved Player were won by Leonard, Mike Carter Williams, Louis Williams and Klay Thompson, respectively.

This season, Leonard was elected as the DPOY and deservedly so.

In the high-level defensive data given by the NBA official, Leonard has many statistics that are among the best.

In addition, the Hornets' visible improvement in defensive quality during the regular season also provided strong support for Leonard's award.

In the community, after Leonard was successfully elected as this year's DPOY, people couldn't help but sigh again about Wang Shuo's star-making ability.

The only fly in the ointment is that even though Wang Shuo's image in the eyes of the world is already terrifying......

The vast majority of fans don't think that Wang Shuo can bring the "great" LeBron James.

In addition, the results of the 13/14 Team of the Year and the Best Defensive Team are as follows:

Best Team 1: Yao Ming, Griffin, Durant, Harden, Curry.

Second Team of the All-Tournament: Gasol Jr., Anthony, Leonard, Kobe, Wade.

All-Star Three: Horford, Love, George, Westbrook, Rose.

All-Defensive First Team: Horford, Iguodala, Leonard, Westbrook, Rondo.

All-Defensive Second Team: Gasol Jr., Serge Ibaka, George, Klay, Beverley.

It is not difficult to see from the results of this year's Team of the Year......

NBA officials have begun to accelerate the replacement of new and old league stars.

In this year's best team, Griffin, Harden and Curry are all members of the 09 Super Platinum Generation.

This season, Curry, who played in a total of 72 games for the Hornets in the regular season, averaged 29.8 points, 6.0 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 2.0 steals and 0.1 blocks per game.

He shot 49.1 percent from the field, 42.5 percent from three-point range, and 90.5 percent from the free throw line.

In addition, he has made a total of 345 three-pointers for the Hornets this season, changing his career three-point shooting total to 1,667.

According to Curry's current average three-point shooting efficiency per game, the American media predicts that Curry is very likely to surpass Ray Allen in the 17/18 season and rank first in the NBA's all-time three-point shooting list.

In this regard, although Curry himself said in an interview that he cares more about whether the team can win than excel......

But Wang Shuo still saw through his careful thinking, and encouraged him in private: "Personal data is also an important part of testing the quality of a football star.

If you can hit 5,000 three-pointers before you retire......

In the future, when people mention three-point shots, your name will become a revered presence in the world. ”

In Wang Shuo's previous life, James's passing ability could be embarrassingly blown to the historical level, isn't it because his assist data is beautiful enough?

It turns out that for the vast majority of cloud fans who only look at post-game data, personal excel is so deceptive.

In this life, compared to a more beautiful shooting percentage panel, Wang Shuo obviously expects Curry to greatly surpass the Curry in his memory in terms of total three-point shots.

And in the coming years......

Objectively speaking, as long as Curry dares to throw ......

Even if he averaged fifteen three-pointers per game, Wang Shuo would not stop it.

Because no matter how Curry feels in the game, the Hornets have enough strength to cover him for him in most of the games and let him play in Xia Jiba.

And......

Don't let Curry incarnate as a "Mamba" at the peak of his theoretical career......

Wang Shuo can't wait until he is old and frail before letting him pick off the pass button, right?

After the results of the NBA's major awards are released......

On the evening of the 11th, the Hornets at home lived up to expectations in the G2 game of the Eastern Conference semifinals with the 76ers, rewriting the score of this round of the series to 2-0.

The plot of this G2 battle is almost exactly the same as that of the G1 battle.

During the game, the Hornets players strictly implemented the "Harden" tactic formulated by Wang Shuo before the game.

Offense, Harden wants to score can.

But the Hornets didn't give him a chance to lead his teammates with passing.

In addition, back up, whenever the opportunity arises, the Hornets players will take turns calling out Harden on offense.

In fact, Harden, who is willing to defend seriously, is not as bad as people think.

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

Once Harden consumes too much energy on the defensive end, who will the 76ers rely on to score?

Of course, when Harden is dumb, the 76ers also have Holiday and Louis Williams to share the offensive pressure.

But neither of these two brothers is the offensive engine of this 76ers team in theory.

Wang Shuo's strategic intent in this series is very clear.

That is to turn this Eastern Conference semifinals into a series of stars on both sides through tactical set-up.

As long as the 76ers' players can't go crazy through Harden's tandem on the court, the Hornets will be invincible in this round of competition for the hard power of the two sides.

After the first two battles of the series......

Harden, who didn't even have the heart to go to a nightclub, was extremely depressed.

However, it turns out that in the NBA, where miracles happen, self-help people do get the favor of God.

On the 14th, after the series between the 76ers and the Hornets was moved to Philadelphia, the 76ers players who did not give up because of the big score of 0-2 finally broke through the Hornets' iron bucket formation.

In this game, because the referee's penalty scale is more favorable to the 76ers, who will complete the offense by breaking through a lot of points in the game, it will be more difficult for the Hornets to block the gap between Harden and his teammates like in the previous two games.

In this regard, Wang Shuo, who had been prepared for a long time, was not obsessed with continuing to fight with the 76ers for bayonets in the game.

But what ......

On the evening of the 14th, all the Hornets couldn't find the crosshairs in shooting, and one was more Ariza than the other.

For the game, the Hornets shot just 10-of-41 from beyond the three-point line, in stark contrast to the 76ers, who shot 20-of-45 from beyond the three-point line.

Fortunately, a day later, in the G4 game in Philadelphia, the Hornets, who had regained their touch in the game, successfully won the G4 game against the 76ers through attack.

In fact, even if the series is more than the opposite, the Hornets have the advantage.

It's just that in order to reduce the possibility of the 76ers upsetting in the game, Wang Shuo will choose to fight with the 76ers for bayonets.

A day later, when the two teams returned to Charlotte for the G5 game, the Hornets, who led 3-1 and held the match point, did not give the 76ers any more chances......

On this night, Harden's performance was still brave.

He shot 7-of-19 from the field, including 5-of-14 from three-point range and 17-of-18 from the free-throw line, totaling 36 points, seven rebounds and seven assists for the 76ers.

But on the premise that Curry, Klay, Leonard, and Paul combined for 85 points......

Harden's performance on this night was not enough to make up for the absolute gap in hard power between the two teams.

By making fouls, Harden has managed to create foul crises on the Hornets' interior in four of these series.

But the 76ers failed to seize the opportunity to extend the advantage that Harden brought to them.

Because with the exception of David Lee......

You can't expect Tristan Thompson to blow up the Hornets' interior line, right?

In Wang Shuo's previous life, he has not been able to cooperate with a top interior player who has both offense and defense, which is undoubtedly a big regret of Harden at the peak of his career.

Ha?

Aren't you saying Embiid is a top-tier interior liner?

Well......

Embiid in the regular season is really good.

But is there a possibility that Embiid in the playoffs has never been tough?

On the evening of the 16th, the Hornets successfully advanced to this year's Eastern Conference Finals with a score of 4-1.

And in the other round of the Eastern Conference semifinals, Spoelstra also had the last laugh in the showdown with Mike Malone.

In this series, Westbrook's inconsistent outside shooting became the main reason for the Cavaliers' loss.

In the game, under Spoelstra's arrangement, a lot of joint defense was used to target the Heat of our turtles, which effectively limited its hand-to-hand cooperation with Griffona's domineering and freewheeling in the regular season.

I have to say......

In his past and present life, Spoelstra was one of the best head coaches in the NBA during this period.

Because although all NBA head coaches know that joint defense is the best solution against this Cavaliers.

But in the actual game, without the Heat's well-trained and their excellent team discipline......

Even if you know the final answer, you won't be able to solve the problem like this Heat.

As a joint defense specialist, Spoelstra is good at joint defense.

But how many people know how much effort Spoelstra spent on cultivating the playing habits of this Heat player in order to make his tactics perfectly executed on the court?

Before Wang Shuo crossed over, the more you dig into the personnel composition of that Heat team, as well as the career experience of most of the players on his team before joining the Heat, the more you can't help but want to sigh:

Spoelstra already has the demeanor of a generation of grandmasters in terms of making the best use of things and making the best use of talents.

According to the schedule, the Eastern Conference Finals between the Hornets and the Heat will start on May 20.

In this series, Wang Shuo is looking forward to more than anyone how Spoelstra will use his cards to play against this Hornets.

As the saying goes, when you meet an opponent in chess, you will meet a good talent.

Although it may be a bit arrogant to say so.

But after being invincible for too long, Wang Shuo also expects someone to cause him some trouble and make it difficult in the game.

After all......

The journey to win the championship is too easy, but it doesn't show his Wang Shuo's strength.
