The Pope of Basketball Community

In Game 6, the Grizzlies won 97-93 at home, dragging the series into a tiebreaker.

After adding Eddie Jones, the Grizzlies strengthened, and their regular season record only ranked sixth because of player injuries. Team boss Baron Davis only played 54 games in the regular season, scoring 18 points, 4.4 rebounds, 9.1 assists and 1.6 steals.

After returning, Davis is still the physically strong, omnipotent bearded man, like an enhanced version of Deron Williams. However, the Grizzlies' hidden dangers are also obvious. His style of play is prone to injuries, and once his physical fitness declines, he will be useless.

In this series, Davis relied on his physical advantage to bully Tony Parker; Gasol was also a match against Duncan. Both are very comprehensive, can score and are good at planning, but Gasol's rebounding is slightly inferior. .

The Spurs' advantage lies in the No. 2 position. Ginobili defeated Jones and Battier in three games, and the Spurs won them all.

Ginobili's performance was average during the regular season, but entering the playoffs, the demon sword was unsheathed. He averaged 18.4 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3 assists per game, shot 48.4% from the field, and was hard to defend on his breakthroughs.

In Game 7, the Grizzlies relied on zone defense to stop Ginobili. Battier and Miller scored three-pointers in a row to help the Grizzlies turn the tables and lead by 15 points entering the final quarter.

At the critical moment, newly joined veteran Finley broke out and hit three three-pointers in the final quarter to help the team catch up with the score.

Bruce Bowen also performed well. The Spurs used a zone defense strategy. Bowen defended Baron Davis several times in the middle. The practice of preventing breakthroughs but not shots made the bearded man uncomfortable. Davis's shooting has always been unstable. He shot 42.6% in the regular season and only 44% in the playoffs. He became a blacksmith in the critical final quarter.

In the last minute, Duncan singled out Gasol, turned and hit a throw, leading the score.

In the next round, Duncan assisted center Muhammad who received the ball on a baseline cut and dunked, leading by three points.

The Grizzlies' final attack was completed by Miller, and the three-point shot missed the basket due to Bowen's interference.

With a total score of 4-3, the Spurs advanced to the Western Conference Finals with difficulty.

During the game, regular season awards were announced.

Hornets point guard Chris Paul overcame Bogut to become the Rookie of the Year, averaging 16.8 points, 4 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game.

The Lakers' Monta Ellis averaged 10 points per game and performed well. He was selected to the Best Rookie Second Team.

Odom was elected the Sixth Man of the Year. He averaged 26.2 minutes per game, 12.3 points, 8.2 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1.1 blocks. He is extremely efficient, shooting 48.2% from the field and 37.2% from three-point range. He has gorgeous statistics, but there is a lot of controversy when he wins the award.

Anyone who scores more points in the fourth quarter of other teams will receive comments such as "real thigh", "big heart", and "king of the final quarter". Odom was evaluated as a "brush" because he often appeared in garbage time...

In fact, Odom is the culprit of the Lakers' frequent massacres. Originally Yang Rui also let Diop play, but he and Diaw, the two old Diop kids, couldn't shoot well and couldn't break the zone defense together. Later, Yang Rui simply reused Odom in garbage time to prevent the fans from running out early. Odom and Ellis play pick-and-rolls, which can make the garbage time offense smooth.

Yang Rui doesn't care about the doubts from the outside world. The Lakers are so good. What if a person of Odom's level can only play as a substitute in the team? Should Odom be allowed to play more than ten minutes in the second and third quarters of every game?

The Most Improved Player is Gerald Wallace of the Bobcats. His statistics have more than doubled this season. The Wizards don't need him to score, but the Bobcats need him to take on some offensive tasks because they have fewer attack points.

The best defensive player went to Artest of the Bulls. The Bulls are a team with a balanced offense and defense, and he is the team's defensive expert.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Artest should have been suspended for the Auburn Hills Palace game last season, not playing for a year, and then his condition declined.

Now, he has been with the Bulls and has played 82 games. He is in excellent form, averaging 18.8 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.2 steals and 0.7 blocks per game.

Selected for the All-Star Game.

All-Defensive First Team: Kidd, Kobe, Artest, Bowen, Duncan.

Second team: Billups, Prince, Kirilenko, Garnett, Camby.

There is nothing wrong with Yao Ming being on the best defensive team. Even if his defensive statistics are very good, he can suppress most of the opposing centers and his shooting rate is less than 45%. In the low post, except for O'Neal, almost no one in the league chooses to hold the ball alone. Pick Yao Ming. O'Neal can only play in the low post and has no choice.

Miraculously, Camby, who is very poor in single defense in the penalty area and is often beaten from behind by his opponents, was selected to the All-Defensive Team just because he is the best shot blocker.

Ben Wallace is out this season, and there are really not many options inside. Camby has double figures in rebounds and is the leader in blocks. People cannot ignore him.

What's even more amazing is that Garnett was selected to the second team defensively. What's the reason? Although the Timberwolves often stop after three quarters, the Wolf King leads the team to catch up? Although the scoring is pitiful, they will try to use up 24 seconds in every round so that their opponents cannot score many points?

The Timberwolves' offense looks like defense, and the pace is unbearably slow. They only average 77.3 shots per game, score 91.7 points, and concede 94.3 points.

It seems good, but in fact, if the offensive and defensive rhythm is this slow, an NBA team can limit the opponent's scoring average to less than 95 points per game. In Yang Rui's previous life, in the 2003-04 season, the Pistons' pace was similar to that of the Timberwolves, and their opponents averaged only 84.3 points per game.

The Rockets during Van Gundy's era were better defensively than the Timberwolves. Even in the 2006 season when Yao Mai was injured and did not make the playoffs, the Rockets relied on a crawling transition between offense and defense and only lost 91.7 points per game.

The most important honor of the regular season, MVP, was won by Yao Ming as he wished. He only led Kobe by 29 points in the selection, which was a weak advantage.

He averaged 23.2 points, 12.8 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 0.5 steals and 2.5 blocks per game, shooting 48.4% from the field, 36.5% from three-point range, and 85.3% from free throws.

Kobe ranked second in the MVP voting, averaging 26.3 points, 5 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 1.3 steals per game, shooting 48.3% from the field, 34.7% from the three-point range, and 86.8% from the free throw line.

Comparing the statistics of the two, Kobe Bryant is not inferior to Yao Ming at all. Yao Ming's award was also very controversial. Kobe fans cursed the shady case on the Internet.

The NBA's official explanation is: "The Lakers can achieve the best record of 70+ wins for two consecutive seasons. Yao Ming's empty shots, support, and offense at the basket are all very critical. He is the core of the Lakers' interior."

The Komies were dissatisfied because Kobe Bryant was okay. "The Lakers can achieve the best record of 70+ wins for two consecutive seasons. Kobe's singles, breakthrough points, and defense are all very crucial. He is the core of the Lakers' perimeter."

In fact, the election of Yao Ming was the intention of president David Stern. The result of the league meeting and discussion was of course to further develop the Chinese market.

Chinese fans will definitely be very happy to win a Chinese MVP. Next, the league will prepare to arrange the "China Game", play "China Red" during the Spring Festival broadcast for Chinese fans, and launch jerseys with Chinese characters.

For the long-term interests of the league, Stern made a decisive decision. Kobe had already won the MVP last season, so it was no big deal to win one. His popularity had already been boosted.

All sports media in China reported the results. The leaders of the National Sports Administration called Yao Ming to congratulate him. The fans were crazy with joy. This means that Yao Ming stands at the top of the basketball pyramid.

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

Second team: Billups, Wade, Artest, Duncan, O'Neal.

Third team: Iverson, Pierce, James, Marion, Bosh.

A strange thing happened again. It was not that Garnett was not selected for the All-NBA Team, but Carmelo Anthony, who averaged 26.5 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game and helped the Nuggets reach the playoffs, was not selected for the All-NBA Team.

There are also many players who made it to the playoffs who put up good numbers but lost. Arenas and Stoudemire of the Wizards; Joe Johnson of the Hawks with 20.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 5.1 assists; Ray Allen of the Celtics with 21.4 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.4 assists; Carter, who missed 15 games with the Raptors, etc... ...all lost to James, who is ranked 11th in the Eastern Conference.

James and the Cavaliers have been fishing in the regular season for three consecutive years, and the league has still shown its determination to win James.
