The Pope of Basketball Community

Basketball Pope 518, Chapter 518 [Honor Harvest, Blind Dog Eyes] -567 Chinese 124 to 99, the Lakers lead 2 to 0.

The Suns' scoring is lower than the average in the regular season. The swingman lineup set up by Yang Rui is very critical. Even Walton performs well in the zone defense system. His height can interfere with shooting well and he does not suffer in confrontations.

The swingman is not afraid of misalignment in any position, which is perfect for the Suns' small ball lineup. When facing big men, the Suns always have a speed advantage in running and bombing. The opponent doesn't even have a center, so the Suns' advantage is gone.

When Yao Ming and Rasheed were on the court, the Suns scored, but the Lakers' offense was better. O'Neal Jr. was the team's leading scorer and focused on the offensive end, so the defensive intensity dropped.

Back at home, D'Antoni tried to play with two defenders and reused Barbosa to strive for faster speed.

However, the shortcoming of weak offense in the Suns' position battle is still there. Once in the position battle, only O'Neal is good at covering. Marion is about the same size as Kobe and plays a guest power forward, so the quality of the screen is much worse.

In a positional battle, the Lakers have two towers inside, making it easier for defenders to run out of space. The Lakers' strategy against the Suns was positional warfare, which prevented the Suns from playing at the rhythm they were accustomed to.

O'Neal Jr.'s average playing time per game increased to 40 minutes in the playoffs, and his efficiency always dropped in the final quarter, but once he rested, he no longer had to play. Yao Ming played Hunter just for fun.

115 to 100, the Suns suffered another defeat.

In the fourth game, unwilling to be swept by the Suns, Nash took on the offensive task himself. Facing Jones in a one-on-one challenge, he made many shots and scored 38 points, 3 rebounds and 12 assists.

Marion scored 20 points and 11 rebounds, O'Neal Jr. scored 24 points and 8 rebounds, and Bell hit 5 three-pointers and also scored 17 points.

Relying on the trident to show off their power together, the Suns finally won the game 125-111.

In Game 5 in Los Angeles, Nash lost his touch and performed poorly, scoring only 14 points and 8 assists. Xiao Mo, who entered, scored 17 points and 5 assists, and his performance was not inferior to Nash.

The position with the greatest advantage failed to crush their opponents. The Suns' ending can be imagined. The Lakers won 1-98 and advanced to the Western Conference Finals with a total score of 4-1.

After the game, the Suns management was in a very pessimistic mood. There were four high-paid players on the team, and they could only trade them in the summer. They could not sign strong players. If they did not trade a good center, it would be impossible for the Suns to win the championship in the current situation.

On the other side, the Spurs advanced faster, sweeping the Grizzlies 4-0.

The Spurs' newcomer Muhammad is less offensive but has excellent defense and has become a qualified substitute for Duncan. The Spurs' outside offense has completely suppressed the Grizzlies, and someone has stepped up to score high points in every game.

Many people are optimistic that the Spurs can defeat the Lakers to advance to the finals and eventually defend their title. Their strength is also good.

The second round of the Eastern Conference was relatively fierce, and the winner has not yet been decided. Some awards for the regular season have been announced one after another.

The Rookie of the Year award was won by Bobcats center Emeka Okafor. In his rookie season, he scored 15.1 points, 11 rebounds, 0.9 assists and 1.7 blocks. However, the Bobcats have the worst record in the league and are the team with the worst record in the past 10 years. Okafor's shooting percentage is only 44.7%. This has led to many people being dissatisfied and thinking that Ben Gordon is the best rookie.

Ben Gordon, who joined the SuperSonics, averaged 31 minutes per game, scoring 16.9 points, 2.7 rebounds and 3 assists. He shot 41.6% from the field and 40.5% from the three-point range. His points, three-point field goal percentage, and number of hits were all. Ranked first among rookies. But he is the team's backup, Luke Ridnour.

Iguodala was selected to the All-Rookie First Team. He was the only player selected who averaged less than double figures per game because he was on the best team in the league, had a balanced offense and defense, and averaged 3 assists per game.

Yao Ming won the Most Improved Player Award and went from being a backup center to a star insider averaging 19.3 points, 11.4 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 2.3 blocks per game.

The Sixth Man of the Year went to Ben Gordon, who won this award in his rookie season.

He's proven himself, but it's more of a consolation prize after losing Rookie of the Year.

The best defensive player is Tim Duncan of the Spurs. Yang Rui was extremely surprised. In his previous life, this award belonged to Ben Wallace. The Knicks are so bad now, and Ben has been forgotten.

In Yang Rui's previous life, many people said that the league owed Duncan the best defensive player. He was never elected once. Now he has been elected twice, but he also lacks a regular season MVP, a finals MVP, and a championship ring. .

All-Defensive First Team: Wade, Kobe, Bowen, Garnett, Duncan.

Second team: Billups, Kirilenko, Battier, Brand, Camby.

This selection was very controversial. The Heat set a historical point difference record, but Wade was selected to the All-Defensive First Team.

In the Bulls, Artest was an expert in perimeter defense. Because there were too many small forwards, Brand was selected.

Camby was selected for the first time, relying on his good personal defensive data, but the Nuggets' overall defensive efficiency is at the bottom of the league, and Camby's individual defense is also very bad.

The Lakers conceded a lot of points per game, and it was already controversial that Kobe Bryant would be selected alone. Yao Ming couldn't be selected for the defensive lineup despite his good defensive statistics.

Kobe also won the regular season MVP as he wished, averaging 31 points, 4.6 rebounds, 6 assists and 1.6 steals per game. The scoring leader and best record deserve the title, with Nash of the Suns ranking second.

Yang Rui sympathizes with Nash's experience. He will definitely not be as successful as in his previous life. With the Lakers suppressing him, it will be difficult for the Suns to get the best record. Kobe himself is also more popular than Nash and will get more votes in the selection.

All-NBA First Team: Nash, Kobe Bryant, Nowitzki, Duncan, Yao Ming.

O'Neal's statistics are better than Yao Ming, averaging 22.9 points, 10.4 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.3 blocks per game. However, this year when the two sides faced off, the Lakers completely defeated the Heat. The Heat's record is only second in the Eastern Conference, and the judges are reluctant to let O'Neal enter the first team. If O'Neal is stronger and Yao Ming had super statistics in that game, what was he doing?

Second team: Wade, McGrady, James, Garnett, O'Neal.

Third team: Iverson, Carter, Marion, Brand, O'Neal.

James did not enter the playoffs, but was selected to the second team based on his super statistics, showing the league's determination to support him. However, none of the Wizards who entered the playoffs and reached the second round was selected.

The league will no longer praise the Wizards. It was a pure fluke that they eliminated the Pistons. The Trident is even better.

Yang Rui won the NBA Best Coach Award for the fourth time in his career and was almost unanimously elected. He broke the historical record, and David Stern went to Los Angeles and arranged a grand award ceremony.

In his speech, Stern mentioned the reasons why Yang Rui won the award: the Lakers averaged the highest score of 118.8 points per game, conceded 103.4 points, ranked first in the league in points difference per game at 15.4 points, and had the largest improvement in wins. These factors can be seen in his performance. Coaching skills.

Yang Rui gave a speech and said: "I am very honored to break the record and win this award. I feel that I have coached so well this season. In the words of the Internet, I have blinded many people's titanium alloy eyes."

Everyone in the venue laughed. The Internet is developing rapidly and everyone knows Internet lingo.

Yang Rui continued: "I am also a little worried. What results will I have to achieve next time to win this award? Some people say that I have used up all the character I have accumulated in my life. I don't believe it, because this award comes from behind everyone's back. Comeback. The Lakers have the best owner, thanks to Jerry Buss. They have the best manager, thanks to Mitch Kupchak, and we all did our jobs. Finally, thank you to the players, you are the best. .Let us win together!”

The Lakers have had a bumper harvest of honors this season. They have been very successful and are just short of the championship! 8)
