On Monday, May 2, 2005, the NBA League announced the Defensive Player of the Season (DPOY) awards:

Ben Wallace of the Pistons won the award again.

This is the third time Big Ben has won the award, and the critics have recognized it.

This season, Ben Wallace ranks second in the league in defensive efficiency, second only to Duncan.

This statistic is a general reflection of the player's influence on the defensive end, and Ben Wallace is indeed an interior player with excellent performance on the defensive end of the big data sample.

The award-winning Big Ben was wearing a Pistons tracksuit during the interview, and he still had the same explosive head on his head.

In recent years, Ben Wallace has maintained this look during the playoffs, which is a habit he has developed with the Knicks.

Hairstyles can certainly affect a person's temperament, and Ben Wallace, who is somewhat raunchy, looks like a tough guy.

However, when giving his acceptance speech, Big Ben was still relatively modest:

"I'm very happy to get this award, but unfortunately this year there is one less strong competitor."

"I'm very happy with the form of the Pistons, this is our second season with a full roster, and everyone is confident of winning the championship."

Big Ben didn't gossip too much about Larry Brown's desire to leave due to his health.

With the Pistons at the match point, he just wants to put more energy into tonight's game.

The New York media followed with two sour voices, Artest won the award last year, but this year he knocked himself down with a right hook, otherwise this award may still belong to the Knicks.

After Sunday's game, the score was 4:0, and the Knicks easily swept the Nets.

Lee Woo won the victory, Kidd and Carter did not lose, and the series ended with a "Lee Woo Praise".

"Black Mamba" Vince Carter, unlike the previous title of "Flyer", the nickname given by Li You seems to be cooler, at least the Nets fans like it.

At 111:96, in the G4 game, the Nets held on to the end, and Kidd was also recognized by Li You.

After three games and the last battle of honor, Kidd played 41 minutes, 9-of-20, 4-of-10 from beyond the three-point line, 3-of-4 from the free throw line, and scored 25 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal and 4 turnovers.

Carter also continued his Mamba spirit, shooting 6-of-22, 0-of-4 from beyond the three-point line, 11-of-12 from the free-throw line, and chipped in 23 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 2 turnovers.

The hit rate was less than forty percent, and the lone hero Carter was pressed to death by Li You in the last game.

The Nets couldn't save the game with 40 free throws, but in short, the referees did their best!

In addition to reporting on the awards, several mainstream media outlets in New York also provided Li You's comments on the first-round competition.

Although the win was easy, Li You did not belittle his opponent, and praised again in an interview after the match:

"The Nets' spirit of doing their best and never giving up is something that all teams can learn from, and I have nothing but respect for such an opponent!"

"If the series goes on a few more times, maybe Kidd will be able to find his shooting touch beyond the three-point line."

"There's more to basketball than just scoring, Kidd is a better gamekeeper than I am, and he's a good playmaker."

In the last game, Carter's performance was really stretched, and there were few goals in the sports battle, except for free throws or free throws, so Li You did not force X.

In his post-match interview, Carter thanked Lee Yow:

"It's great to play against the defending champions, it means a lot to us!"

"Like Lee said, I don't care about my stats, and I don't count my shots in detail on the court."

"I always believed I could hit the next shot, and unfortunately I let the fans down in the last two games."

"But I'm not going to change my style of play, I'm going to keep shooting whenever the team needs me."

Carter, who joined the Nets, has obviously matured a lot because of the small half of the season with the Raptors.

Although there were arguments on the court, Carter would not complain about Li You's defensive actions off the court.

With a gentle smile on his face, Carter, who lost, was ready to go on vacation, but he knew that he had a bad reputation, and subconsciously drew a pie for Nets fans:

"This is my first season with Kidd and we will stay here until we win the championship for the city!"

Kidd, who won the "Lee Woo Kwa Praise", was not as optimistic as his teammates, he had already lost so much that the sports media did not believe his words.

Just as Philadelphia fans don't believe that Iverson led the team to defeat Lee Yow and reach the Finals to win the championship, Nets fans have long lost trust in Kidd.

However, the award-winning Kidd still has to say something arrogant, after all, he is a big star, and although he lost the game, he can't lose it:

"I hope the team can continue to strengthen, the first season of the partnership has not been able to deliver more talent, but the new season will be even better"

Every year in the playoffs, New York fans will get into a state of self-satisfaction, and the first round of games is not enjoyable, especially G4, where there are too many free throws and Carter is too iron.

As the first team to advance to the semifinals, the Knicks were given nearly a week of rest.

Just like Li You predicted, after returning to the home court, the Bulls also bottomed out, winning two games in a row, and the series score came to 2:2, and the Cavaliers were going to prepare for the battle of Tianwang Mountain.

After satisfying his bad taste, Li You returned to Manhattan on the second day.

Recently, he was planning how to pretend to be X, and the United fans were still protesting, and Li You felt that the acquisition should at least make the gang feel "full of awe".

Pretending to X is also a technical job, and it was not until this time that Li You felt that his knowledge was not enough, so he took advantage of the team's vacation to simply discuss this issue with Ivana.

On the evening of No. 2, at home on No. 82 Street, looking at the food on the table, Li You was a little helpless.

Cereal toast was popular in New York for a while, and then what kind of healthy cuisine was there.

But when it comes to physical health, the taste of food is not very good, those who have no money join in the fun, and those who have money have begun to change their recipes and follow the trend.

In the past, every dinner party was an opportunity for Li You to improve his meal.

I didn't pay attention to the menu at home for half a month, and Li You realized that he had to eat "leaves" tonight.

Ivana was recently in charge of her father's apartment project, and she had trouble with the early publicity.

Although real estate prices in New York are still rising, many people are more cautious about real estate after Wall Street's warning.

Don's project is famous, but Wall Street experts are more authoritative.

I don't want to disappoint my father, Ivana and Don Don are airborne, and everyone in the workplace will respect the two on the surface, but inadvertently at work will make them a stumbling block.

The hard-working Ivana also has a lot of problems with this, she has just graduated, and according to the original plan, she does not want to take over the business of the group too soon.

But since my father married his third wife, the other party seems to be planning to have children, and the brothers and sisters have some careful thoughts.

After introducing her difficulties, Milinda, who was across the table, gave advice from a lawyer's point of view:

"Honey, you don't have to dwell on these little things."

"If the pre-sale of the apartment project does not meet expectations, the sales result is exaggerated."

"Hunger marketing reassures consumers and makes it easier to get financing."

"It's a tool that all developers use, so you don't have to worry about the follow-up."

Milinda, who "eats grass", wore a home T-shirt, and after giving Ivana an idea, she also beckoned the other party to enjoy the food together.

Ivana is still a little entangled, she has just taken over the project for less than a year, although she has learned about her father's operation, and she is worried that she will cause trouble for the family.

Under current New York State law, it is a crime to induce sales through fraudulent means, and it is a felony to sell a high-priced apartment for a profit.

Kim eats her own special dinner, and although she can't see any changes in her figure yet, she still gets more care after confirming that she has a child.

As if seeing Ivana's tangled question, Kim, who was sitting next to Milinda, raised his head and added in a low voice:

"Both federal prosecutors and district attorneys have discretion to decide."

"In the face of special groups, I mean celebrities, political parliamentarians, and so on, cases sometimes go through the Attorney General."

"At this time, there is too much room for maneuver whether to prosecute or not, so don't worry that such propaganda methods will be punished."

Kim, who was still wearing a ponytail at home, was very serious when talking about work, and noticed that Ivana was silent and secretly stepped on Li You.

Ivana has lost weight recently, and after tying up her hair, she can see the collarbone below, Li You knows the girl's thoughts, and says in a firm tone:

"If you have trouble in the future, the solution is actually very simple, and I will donate to the Manhattan District Attorney campaign."

"Milinda can also help with a donation, and if you can't solve the problem, according to the process, if the prosecutor wants to prosecute, you need to call a grand jury."

"When it really got to this point, I asked Nacho to help, he has helped Axes Capital solve a lot of problems in the past few years, and we have a lot of experience."

Li You is so sure, naturally because a pre-trial motion can make a bunch of moths, Ivana is not used to this way, and Tang Qude has long been in a state of "not worrying about debts".

Of course, Ivana has considered this kind of hunger marketing and propaganda, but she has never been able to make up her mind.

The house in New York is not worried about selling at all, and Tang knows that he is just assigning homework to his children, and it is up to him to judge how many marks he can score.

With a smile on her face again, Ivana made up her mind, nodded and smiled at a few people, and talked about the future itinerary again:

"Honey, when are we leaving for England?"

Li You hasn't planned how to install X yet, and he lacks experience in this area, but the day to complete the acquisition is getting closer:

'We should be able to get a 75 per cent stake in Manchester United by mid-May and if it's fast enough, we can go to Manchester by the end of June at the latest.'

The three of them quickly chatted about the new experience that was about to be ushered in.

Milinda has to take care of Kim, and before going to bed, Ivana is lazily lying in Li You's arms, and the bathtub is full of bubbles, just covering the plump white greasy on her chest.

was teased and her body was hot, Ivana took the initiative to kiss, and slowly straddled Li You.

The figure became more and more slender, and while Li You held the plumpness, he began to whisper in his ear:

"How about a few more cars? I haven't been paying attention to UK real estate, so I have time to help me look at the news in this regard. ”

Ivana, who was gasping, gave Li You a white look, at this time she didn't have the heart to talk about this, opened her somewhat swollen lips, and sent an invitation:

"I just had an iced coffee, and we have a lot of time to talk about these issues tonight."

After a whisper, Ivana noticed her waist being held, and laughed coquettishly before snorting.

The water was rippling, Li You hugged Ivana, and once again leaned into the other party's ear and encouraged:

"It's okay to slow down!"

On May 3, the Cavaliers and Bulls were once again on the radar of commentators.

Whichever team makes it to the semi-finals will face the defending champions.

LeBron James has been average on the two roads, and his inconsistent projection has magnified his flaws against the Bulls' shrinking defense.

Not long ago, the NBA announced the Most Improved Player (MIP) award for this season:

The Clippers' Bobby Simmons managed to win this award!

As a second-round show, it is naturally very difficult to win the award, but James feels a little regretful, and he also has the opportunity to win this award.

In terms of votes, Wade and James were evenly matched, Prince was also nominated, and in the end, the award was won by Bobby Simmons.

In this regard, although LeBron James was a little dissatisfied, in an interview, he said beautiful words:

"Bobby's personal efficiency and stats have improved a lot, and he deserves to win the award."

'Every player who has put in a lot of effort deserves respect and I just want to congratulate him because I know what he's done to improve himself.'

James was a little nervous about tonight's battle on Tianwang Mountain, he didn't expect the other party to really be able to win two games in a row, and he didn't have the confidence he had before when answering questions:

"We're going to stick to the coaching staff's tactical set-up, because it's my first time in the playoffs and it's a bit nerve-wracking to be on a big scene like this."

"I believe in my teammates, the Cleveland fans, and we're going to bring victory to the city."

After saying this, James returned to his composure, and he knew that he should speak boldly at this time, not only to cheer himself up, but also to encourage the team.

If James is still worried about the evening game, then Howard is a pure "fun man", and he enjoys the attention that the playoffs bring and the respect of the fans.

As for losing, Howard never thinks about that, he just wants to share his happiness:

"Cool! Going through this for the first playoff time in my career, I suddenly felt like a dream come true! ”

"Match adjustments? Tactical arrangement? No, now we prefer to enjoy the game. ”

The Yahoo Sports reporter looked at Howard with some helplessness, and after a season of interviews, he found that the other party really seemed to be a "big boy".

James has an age-appropriate maturity, and Howard is indeed more like a child in comparison.

Van Gundy did not stop the players from being interviewed, and even took the initiative to chat with sports reporters about the game plan in the afternoon:

"We can't make another mistake, two away games, Hinrich responded from beyond the three-point line, and if necessary, the team will adopt a strategy of early packing."

Although he is back on the same starting line, Van Gundy has also seen big scenes as a champion coach, and he also showed a confident look when he said this.

After coming to Cleveland, it took a lot of energy, Van Gundy became even more bald, and even with assistant coach Thibodeau, his head was bald.

The two successful bald men are the biggest confidence of the Cavaliers, and the sports reporters have no objections, and they all follow the fart.

After acquiring the Cavaliers, Gilbert is also happy with the current roster and coaching staff.

Heading into the playoffs in his first season at the helm, the online loan mogul is also a bit inflated.

Although he does not interfere in the specific operation of the team, Gilbert also helped to blow X before such a key game:

"We have the best coaching staff in the league, and we have the most potential roster in the league."

"The Chicago Bulls have five championships, but in a few years, the Cavaliers will catch up."

"The combination of LeBron and Howard will dominate the league in the future, and they will be as successful as Lee!"

The stage has been set up, and the night's game was broadcast by ABC, and the battle of Tianwang Mountain between the two budding teams has attracted a lot of attention.

In key games, Hinrich and Ben Gordon erupted, with the former firing from beyond the three-point line and the latter propping up the offensive firepower of the rotation.

In terms of rebounding, the Bulls' Tyson Chandler also played a huge role, and after coming off the bench, he always contributed some frontcourt rebounds.

In the face of the opponent's outside shooting, the Cavaliers did not panic, Van Gundy calmly commanded, and James kept attacking the basket.

The home-court advantage played a role, and the Bulls were unable to open up the point difference for a while.

The game was deadlocked until the fourth quarter, and the Cleveland fans in attendance became more and more nervous.

With 7.9 seconds left in the game, 101-104, the Cavaliers didn't score a point in the final minute.

After a timeout, the sideline ball was played, and the moment he received the ball on the left flank, he immediately attracted a double encirclement.

At the critical moment, Hinrich gave the ball to the bottom left corner in time, and substitute defender Jane took Ro Pargo to receive the ball and threw it without adjustment.

Amid the exclamations of Cavaliers fans, the basketball hollowed into the net with only 5.2 seconds left in the game.

At 104:104, on the bench, Van Gundy asked for a timeout, and the assistant coach had already arranged the final attack.

According to the Knicks' custom, Van Gundy encouraged James loudly at this time:

"Adjust your breathing, calm down, LeBron, pick up some shots!"

"Whether it's a shot or a breakaway, you have plenty of time to make the move."

James nodded, this was his moment, his long-awaited big scene was finally here!

Under the watchful eye, the front court kicked off, and after the sideline ball was issued, with the help of Gooden's cover, James received the ball at the top of the arc.

Perhaps because he was too nervous, James, who had increased his speed, turned and stepped forward, stuck his position, and released the ball with his left hand.

Coach Skels, who was on the sidelines, immediately gestured to walk and shouted repeatedly, but the referee did not say anything, and the game time passed quickly.

James shook off Nocioni behind him, broke through to the basket and jumped before throwing the ball to the rebound with his left hand.

Watching the basketball slam out of the basket, the Cavaliers fans in the front row screamed, and when the game was about to enter overtime, a big hand was on the basketball.

The final hum sounded, the basketball also fell into the basket, and the stadium boiled instantly!

Howard, who completed the rebound, didn't look at the referee at all, regardless of whether the goal was valid or not, laughed and rushed to the technical table, jumped up and shouted to the fans:

“This is my house！”

Pounding his chest with his hands, Howard shouted as he raised his hands in the air.

Running near the technical desk, LeBron James first regretted, then surprised, and finally heard Howard pretend to be X yelling, and was a little depressed for a while:

"I'm the main character"

On May 5, Howard defeated the Bulls, and the news that the Cavaliers got the match point sparked heated discussions among the melon-eating masses.

In this crucial game, James was 11-of-25, 1-of-4 from beyond the three-point line, and 10-of-14 from the free-throw line, scoring 33 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and 4 turnovers.

Although Howard eventually became the hero of the team, ball critics also gave praise to James' performance:

"The Chosen One is cashing in on his talents!"

The New York Post has already begun to warm up for the next round of the Cavaliers-Knicks game.

Van Gundy returned to New York as the head coach of the Cavaliers, and newspaper columns began to add to the drama.

Lee has ramped up his training in recent days, and he likes to work on his core in the water to better work on his core.

The award for the best coach will be announced after the MVP, and this year Popovich will most likely receive the award.

At the Talitown Training Center, after the afternoon training session, Stadameyer was still actively giving interviews to the media.

In the first round, in order to find Gasol's form, Stoudemire's playing time was affected, and there were not many outstanding performances.

Naturally, Stoudemire himself will not complain about this, but the agent has recently spoken out frequently that his players should get more playing time.

This is indeed a reasonable demand, but such an arrangement is not in line with the planning of the coaching staff, and the first round of games is used to warm up, and Gasol is more important.

The New York Times reporter loved Stoudemire's explosive style of play, and also talked about last night's game in an interview:

"Amare, if the Cavaliers advance, the Knicks' interior may be tested more."

"How would you rate rookie player Dwight Howard? He just became Mr. Key for the Cavaliers last night. ”

Stoudemire was a little disdainful, not just Howard, who didn't even bother to pay attention to the black man Bakaat in the first round.

After winning the championship and being selected as an All-Star this year, Stoudemire was very inflated at this time, and he was unceremonious to comment on the star:

"Maybe he's got a lot of physical talent, but I know the rookie and he needs more time to hone his skills."

"In a couple of games during the regular season, Howard didn't show a lot of skill and he had some problems with his physical coordination."

"I'm not worried about the Cavaliers' interior combination, I'm sure I'll dominate the opponent!"

“.”

Teammates brag in front of the sports media, chatting about the first-round game, and from time to time covertly belittled Black Mambakat, Prince saw that such a scene was not good to say, and continued to practice shooting.

Defending Carter is not just Li You's business, in some rounds, Prince will also help defend when he seizes the opportunity, which limits the opponent's shooting percentage to less than 30%.

It's just that most sports reporters prefer to watch the excitement, and the performance on the defensive end is still more bragging about Li You.

Players who struggle for contracts will take the initiative to practice shooting, not seeking to become a marksman, and a shooting rate of more than 30% is considered to be up to the mark.

Lee, who was being interviewed by several Yahoo Sports outlets, didn't say much about the last round.

There was no discussion about the Knicks' opponents in the next round, and everyone was more interested in the recent moves of some lawmakers.

"Arizona lawmakers and several House members intend to push the Clean Sports Act this year."

"The Drug-Free Sports Act was introduced last month, and it is said to have been blocked, Lee, do you think these two bills will be in favor of the NBA?"

The Yahoo sports reporter who asked the question actually had bad intentions, and many questioned Li You's medication, and whenever the outrageous record appeared, the sports reporter would come to life again.

In this year's regular season, Li You broke a number of records, and although these humble records will not improve their status in history, they are also eye-catching.

It is true that the players did not speak, but some agents are always yin and yang, and Mark Battlestein, as Lee You's agent, had to speak out to refute the rumors.

started working at the moment before the MVP award was about to be announced, and Li You naturally didn't give the other party a good look:

"I believe that the two bills will eventually pass the two sessions, and every year when I go to the White House, I will discuss this issue with Mr. President."

"Everyone knows that drugs can damage the image of sports leagues, and I have always supported the decision of President David Stern."

"In fact, it is already a norm for me to be checked after the game, and there is no need for special reporting, because the New York media know that as long as the league asks for it, I will usually cooperate as soon as possible."

Several reporters from Yahoo Sports were a little embarrassed, of course they knew that a few years ago, everyone suspected that Li You was "full of doping in his urine", and then he slowly got used to it.

However, for the sake of the news, everyone can only lean up, Li You saw the other party retreating, shrugged his shoulders, and no longer embarrassed the other party:

'I've said more than once that scoring is the easiest thing for me and I think I've proven that over the years.

"35+5+10, this is not my upper limit, you all know that aesthetic fatigue will affect the selection, and many times, I also have to take care of the mood of the football critics."

"Thank you to everyone for voting for me this year, and I regret that I didn't have a strong contender this season."

Talking about the upcoming awards, everyone began to pat on the back again, and before the interview ended, the ESPN reporter finally asked questions about the next round of the competition:

"Lee, the Cavaliers got the match point, and they have a good chance of reaching the semifinals at the moment."

"LeBron James has been great in the series, how would you rate his progress this season?"

is also an increase in efficiency, and Li You certainly knows that the sports media have been comparing James with himself recently:

"It only took one season to adapt to the league's rivalry, and LeBron has already begun to cash in on his talent."

"But unfortunately, he can't replicate my experience, and Coach Van Gundy has the right system for the Cavaliers, but they still have a few years to settle."

“.”

On May 6, the NBA league announced the 2004~05 Most Valuable Player Award (MVP):

Li You of the Knicks team won the Little Bronze Man again with an absolute advantage!

The New York media was boiling again, and in addition to the excitement, there was also a feeling of "invincible is really lonely" in everyone's hearts.

There was only one game that night, and the Cavaliers who came back to Chicago didn't give their opponents another chance.

At 102:91, the Cavaliers won the game and eliminated the opponent with a big score of 4:2.

At the end of the game, the United Center arena booed James, but the latter didn't care and came to the sidelines to hug Van Gundy passionately.

Coach Skells complained in front of the media that the referee was blind and James walked in the last game.

After receiving a $15,000 penalty for his penalty, Skels continued to express his displeasure by not shaking Van Gundy's hand after tonight's game.

Public opinion from the outside world did not affect James's good mood, and the chosen son hugged the champion coach and said loudly:

"Coach, this is our time!"
