"Who will be the MVP of the season?"

Before the start of the Eastern and Western Finals, the NBA officially started the warm-up for the regular season MVP.

This season's regular season MVP, the final three candidates are Doon, James and Wei Shao.

In his first season back a year after his retirement, Doon led the Bulls back to No. 1 in the East.

Coupled with the gorgeous statistics of 27.6 points, 7.4 rebounds, 8.1 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.1 blocks per game in the regular season, there is indeed a great possibility of winning the regular season MVP under normal circumstances.

It's a pity that the alliance invited Doon to return, and the most fundamental purpose was to support the newcomers.

Doon knows this, and the vast majority of people in the alliance understand it.

It's like Jordan in the last three consecutive periods, who would have had a chance to be a three-time MVP.

But the league still chose to divide the pork, and gave the MVP in the middle to Karl Malone, who also had gorgeous statistics and led the team to good results.

In other words, this season's James is indeed worthy of the regular season MVP, and there is no problem with the data and record.

Data has always been James' advantage, especially the other two giants of the Heat have declined, which makes James stand out from the crowd.

The record also led the team to second place in the East, and if Doon does not return, the Heat will still be first in the East.

Plus, James has always had an edge in the selection.

The rookie didn't lead the team to the playoffs in his first season, but he was able to rank ninth in the regular season MVP, and no matter what the record after reaching the playoffs, the top five on the perennial MVP list is not something that ordinary people can do.

It's just that this season, when the Thunder was injured for a period of time by the big boss Durant, Wei Shao not only skyrocketed in personal data instantly, but also basically inefficient in terms of team performance, the impact of Durant's absence, and played a very high winning rate.

This kind of unbelievable and jaw-dropping performance is indeed worthy of the recognition of the regular season MVP.

The most important point is that Wei Shao is younger than both Doon and James!

And being young means more potential business value!

As we all know, the NBA is a business league.

And in order to be able to unite various partners and make more money, the NBA often gives major awards to younger and more promising players in the league.

Therefore, the possibility of Wei Shao winning the regular season MVP this season is also very high.

If the Thunder can meet the Bulls in the Finals, then the Bulls will face up against a historic powerhouse with two MVP-level supergiants.

At that time, whether you win or lose, it will be very topical and can attract the attention of a large number of fans.

……

The words are divided into two ends, when the outside media and fans are hotly discussing who will win the MVP of the regular season, the Eastern Conference Finals G1 is also slowly unfolding in the United Center.

As early as the regular season, the Bulls players showed with practical actions that the Heat were not at the same level as them.

In tonight's game, the Bulls players confirmed that once again.

Not long after the start of the first quarter, the Bulls relied on Curry's two three-pointers to pull the gap away.

It wasn't long before Doon responded with a high post pass to the bottom corner, who also hit a three-pointer.

The Heat had no one to respond to the three-point shot in a short period of time, so they could only play their best transition offense, trying to keep pushing the speed so that both sides did not have the physical strength to shoot steadily, and then they could erase the Bulls' shooting advantage.

The problem is that instead of being a slow-paced team that focuses on positional warfare, the Bulls are extremely good at playing fast breaks.

The Heat Big Three, who are gradually getting older, and the Bulls, who have a large number of rookies and are relatively young overall, are undoubtedly playing a big knife in front of Guan Gong.

Within a few rounds of the two teams' fast breaks, Doon scored four points on 2-of-2 shooting with the help of a transition offense.

Heat head coach Eric Spoelstra saw that the difference between points could not be opened, and the main force of the Heat was wasting his physical strength, so he hurriedly called a timeout and said a while.

'We have to be more aggressive, and when we defend, we have to press up with our whole body.

It's not enough to just reach out and interfere with the opponent's shot, your hands, your arms, your thighs have to be tightly attached.

Don't be clean, don't feel like you're getting close enough! What I want is, negative distance!

Your hands can be on their waists, thighs, arms, and even necks!

As long as it's not a push, it's not an elbow, it's not a kick, the referee won't blow it.

When Doon and Stephen Curry are running off the ball, we can reach out and pull him! Rest assured, the referee will only pay attention to the ball carrier.

When a shot misses on the court, our guy is stuck under the basket and can pout his ass against the Bulls' interior player to get a favorable rebound.

Our people can reach out and wrap their arms around each other's arms, and secretly use force to squeeze away from their opponents.

If you're up against the little one, we can even reach out around each other's necks!

In short, we have to be aggressive, we have to be more defensive and protect the rebound.

If it's just an attack, you know, we're probably not their opponents.

It is only by playing against them that we can disrupt their shooting rhythm and feel and defend one round after another.

Only when everyone can't attack, protect more rebounds, can we win this difficult game! ”

Coach Spo passed on all the iron-clad defensive experience he learned from Riley, the god operator, to the Heat players.

Of course, these lessons have been repeated over and over again by Coach Spo several seasons ago, and he has been tirelessly emphasizing them to the Heat players.

It is also because most black players are lazy, and because of drugs or lifestyle factors, it is not easy to stay focused.

That's why he, the head coach, needs to emphasize the importance of defense and rebounding again at this time.

After the timeout, the Heat's defensive quality and aggressiveness improved by several notches, and Curry, who had not yet developed a muscle, was pushed down without the ball and fell for several rounds.

On the Bulls' side, the opportunities for outside shots have been greatly reduced, and they can basically only rely on interior players to pull out as cover to create opportunities for outside teammates to shoot in open positions.

The problem is that the off-ball physical confrontation that was not blown at all before made the Bulls' outside shooter's shooting feel drop rapidly, and after the timeout, the Bulls hit iron for three consecutive rounds, and the difference was narrowed to less than 5 points in a blink of an eye.

The Heat put on a posture where defense is king, and seeing this battle, Doon took the initiative to dribble in the backcourt, and then took the opportunity to gesture to his teammates.

After halftime, Doon dealt cards to Curry who ran without the ball, and Ibakara, who was inside, came out to cover Curry who ran to the bottom corner.

Doon passed the ball to Ibaka and gave it to Curry, and he immediately cut to the basket.

Naturally, the Heat couldn't let go of Doon because of Ibaka and Curry, but just as Bosh and James turned their heads to wrap Doon, Curry, who got the ball, shook it and passed the ball to Ibaka.

In fact, after Curry passed, he was slapped on the head by Wade, but the referee didn't blow it.

But this round, thanks to the referee didn't blow it. Ibaka received the ball and immediately stepped to the basket, and the step was a two-handed dunk.

It is worth mentioning that Wade turned and went to the basket to kill back, almost completing the hat from behind Ibaka.

Thanks to the fact that Ibaka is still in his prime, his physical fitness is not bad, and the speed is quite good, otherwise this ball is really at risk of being capped for empty baskets.

"The Bulls have the best starting lineup in the league, and no matter how much the Heat adjust their defensive strategy, they can't stop the Bulls from scoring!"

"The attraction of Doon and Curry is so strong, the Heat need ten people to have a chance of guarding this Bulls!"

"It's not enough for an MVP to be strong enough, it's important to be able to improve his teammates!

With a combination of without the ball, Doon can play his true strength at any time, and most of the time, Doon chooses to improve his teammates!

There's no doubt that Doon is the MVP both in the regular season and right now! ”

After the Bulls sacrificed the Princeton system, no matter how much the Heat improved their defense, it didn't help.

The Heat itself has limited defensive resources, not to mention that when the ball reaches Doon, Curry, and Xiaoka, they can all hold the ball and play alone, and they also have a good shooting percentage.

And once someone gets the ball and attracts the bag, it is naturally with the help of the Princeton system, continue to pass to the opponent who is given in the open position, and rely on the simple ball score to open the difference.

At 24-31, at the end of the first quarter, the Bulls had built a seven-point lead. (End of chapter)
