The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 441 [The Hungry Wolf won the MVP again, the Clippers swept and advanced]

After the two games, important awards for the 2011-2012 regular season have been announced.

Ye Feng won the most valuable player of the regular season.This is also his third consecutive MVP award, and he has become the eighth player in history to win the regular season MVP three times or more.The previous 8 places were Kareem Abdul-Jabbar 7 times, Jordan 6 times, Russell 5 times, Chamberlain 5 times, Bird 4 times, Johnson 3 times, and Moses Malone 3 times.

And the only ones who can win the MVP for three consecutive years are Russell, Chamberlain and Bird.Now Ye Feng has also completed this "feat".He's only 24 years old, and unless he retires due to a serious injury in the next few years, he's locked into a Hall of Fame spot.He knows how to protect himself, has not been seriously injured, and it is unlikely that he will retire early.

Ye Feng averaged 24.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, 8.6 assists, 2.1 steals and 1.3 blocks per game, and his field goal percentage was 50.4%. It is well deserved to win this award, mainly because of the great record of the Clippers.The data is better than Ye Feng, and the only one with higher efficiency is LeBron James. He averaged 27.1 points, 7.9 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 1.9 steals and 0.8 blocks per game, and his shooting percentage was as high as 53.1%, which is simply abnormal.

In the MVP competition between James and Ye Feng, they chased after each other and refused to give in to each other. The final results were similar. Ye Feng slightly beat James with 974 points with 911 points, and Thunder Tranter ranked third with 812 votes. .Although the Nets have a good record, Howard's statistics have dropped, relying on the overall team, and only ranked fourth. No.5 is Kobe Bryant, who won the scoring leader.

The official also announced the winner of the best defensive player of the season. Ye Feng completed the reelection, beating Knicks center Chandler, Thunder power forward Serge Ibaka, and Nets Howard to be elected. The 121 game commentators and sports reporters seem to be willing to vote for Ye Feng, a superstar who gave up competing for the scoring title, is willing to defend and follow others on the perimeter, limit the opponent's shooting percentage, and maintain an oppressive off-ball position. It is very rare to be willing to do so.

It is worth mentioning that in this selection, players from the Lakers did not get even one vote.Even Kobe and Metta Shiping, who are known for their tough defense, were completely ignored by the commentators and reporters.

Magic power forward Ryan Anderson won the Most Improved Player Award. His progress this season is obvious. He averaged 16.3 points per game and 7.6 rebounds per game. These are his career highs.In addition, Anderson also made 166 three-pointers this season, which is the league's three-pointer.The combination of him and Brook Lopez ensured the Magic's inside competitiveness, and it did not become a weak team after losing Howard.

The best sixth man is James Harden of the Thunder.

The best coach is Avery Johnson of the Nets. The Nets have been on the rise since last year, and this year they have the best record in the Eastern Conference.Thibodeau is of course great, but he has already won the best coach twice and will not win again.

The Pacers Larry Bird was elected the best manager, and "Big Bird" became the first player in history to win the regular season MVP (1984-1986), the best coach of the year (1998) and the best general manager. big prize man.After several seasons of hard work and courage, the Pacers finally reproduced the demeanor of the league this season, and Bird contributed a lot.He selected Paul George, Tyler Hansbrough, and Roy Hibbert for the team, all three of whom are now integral to the team.

The best rookie was won by Kyrie Irving of the Cavaliers without any suspense.

The rookie first team this season. Kyrie Irving, Ricky Rubio, Kenneth Faried, Klay Thompson, Kawhi Leonard.The second team is: Chandler. Parsons, Iman. Sambert, Brandon. Knight, Derek. Williams, Tristan. Thompson.

Isiah Thomas performed well, but his playing time was too short to be selected.The same is true for Nets Marshawn Brooks.

The best team of the season was announced. Ye Feng, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Kevin Durant and Dwight Howard were selected for the first team, and the second team was Deron Williams, Derek Rose, Pau Gasol, Blake Griffin and Andrew Bynum, while Rajon Rondo, Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Love and Tyson . Chandler was selected to the third team.

The first team is undisputed, except for Howard, who are all offensive masters.Howard was named to the All-NBA first team for the fifth straight year. His numbers have declined, but there is no better center in the league.

It is a pity that Chris Paul and Dirk Nowitzki got nothing, and Westbrook, who played beautiful statistics, was not selected. His independent style of play has been questioned by people. Let go, relying on screens to launch a suicide attack to the basket. If there are statistics on blocked shots, he must be among the best.

For the best defensive team, Ye Feng was unanimously selected to the first team, and Ibaka, Rondo, Howard and Tony Allen occupied the other four places.Tony Allen's defensive ability has finally been affirmed, and no one will feel good playing against him.

All-Defensive Second Team: Tyson Chandler, Kevin Garnett, Josh Smith, Andre Iguodala, Chris Paul.

The Clippers are defending while guaranteeing the strongest offensive power. The difficulty can be imagined, so three people were selected.

Smith's defensive ability has also been affirmed. He is an important member of the Clippers' defensive system.It is worth mentioning that Iguodala squeezed out Kobe Bryant into the second team.This year Kobe has focused his energy on offense. His defensive statistics are not very prominent. His blocks and steals are not eye-catching, and he often misses people in defense or gambles on steals.Even Kobe's off-ball defense is not as good as before, and choosing him into the All-Defensive Team is completely impressive.And Iguodala was selected as an All-Star this year, and he is undoubtedly the best defensive player on the outside of the 76ers.

Ye Feng was once again selected into two lists. As long as he wins the finals and wins the MVP, he can score twice in the Grand Slam.Fans are waiting to see him succeed.At the same time, the record of the Clippers is also a topic of concern to people. Many fans hope that they can sweep their opponents to win the championship and complete the defense in the most aggressive way. This is a bit difficult, but the Clippers players are willing to try. They are now striving for every victory .

Smith and Tony Allen were selected to the All-Defensive Team, but the uniform team found it a little troublesome. The higher they are promoted, the harder it will be to renew their contracts at a low price this summer. There will definitely be many competitors poaching people.Tony Allen refused to renew his contract in advance. He just wanted to test the waters of the free market. With the honor of defending for a while, maybe a team will really pay him a high salary. If the salary is too high, the Clippers will not be able to follow up. .Smith also faces the same situation and can terminate the contract early.Now the Clippers' salaries are not as abundant as they were in the past two years. It is impossible to offer everyone a high-salary contract extension, and Thornton and Curry can only keep one.

If Tony Allen and Smith are poached, it will have a great impact on the Clippers, and their defense will become weaker.Having won the championship and experienced consecutive championships, the pursuit of players will inevitably change, just like McGee who left last season, wants a high salary, wants to be the boss, etc...

If these players want to leave, Ye Feng has nothing to do.He can think about it, and he didn't talk about these things with his teammates in the locker room. Everything has to wait until the end of the season.Of course, it can also be retained with a high salary. The decision still depends on whether the Clippers are willing to pay the luxury tax.

At least after the end of this season, the Gasol brothers, Love, Barnes, Thomas and others will definitely stay, and the Clippers can still guarantee their core strength.

Having won many personal honors, the morale of the Clippers was high. They chanted the slogan of sweeping in the team. It is definitely more difficult to sweep the Mavericks than to sweep the Jazz, but it is also possible.

As the first home game in the second round of the playoffs, it is crucial for the Mavericks, who are already two games behind.Terry said in an interview: "Tonight's game is Game [-] for the Mavericks."

No team can come back from a 0-3 deficit, so the Mavericks have to win this game if they want to keep any hope of advancing.

In the previous two away games, the Mavericks experienced the support of the Los Angeles fans for the home team. The scene can be said to be full of people, which also greatly encouraged the soldiers of the Clippers in terms of momentum.Now that they have finally returned to their home court, the Mavericks have begun to call on fans to cheer for the team and help the Mavericks win the next two home games together.

In order to better encourage fans, Mavericks owner Cuban also spent a lot of money to do work.As soon as they entered the arena, the Clippers players were shocked by the overwhelming Mavericks T-shirts.Before the game, free T-shirts were placed on more than 2 seats in the arena, with this year's slogan printed on the chest, and the blue sky is also the classic color of the Mavericks.With a uniform dress can create an image of impenetrable home court, Cuban painstakingly.

The fans put on T-shirts one after another, expressing their "loyalty" to the Mavericks.According to the usual practice of the Mavericks, before the start of the game, the big screen in the arena will automatically scan the fans. If there is a fan who has not changed into a T-shirt, the big screen will give a close-up. Then, at the request of [-] fans, The fan who gets caught will change into a T-shirt obediently, and everyone will cheer for him.Through such "carpet-style" capture, it can be guaranteed that when the game starts, everyone on the scene will be dressed in blue, creating a blue ocean.

For such an important battle, the Mavericks are ready.They want to defend the home field.

Unfortunately, the progress of the game quickly proved that relying on the encouragement of the fans is not as good as relying on his own strength. Ye Feng used the screen to break through and hit the inside line at the beginning of the game, causing two fouls by DeAndre Jordan and torturing the fans of the home team with jump shots. nerve.He found touch, which was a disaster for the Mavericks.

In the second quarter, Thornton and Curry partnered to continue to go crazy on the perimeter. The Mavericks' guards, like the Clippers, were able to make sudden shots. The difference is that the Mavericks are two veterans, and the Clippers are younger and more impactful.Little Gasol also started to attack cruelly today, hitting Seraphim with a height of 206cm, and played his own height advantage.

Little Jordan was troubled by fouls, Ye Feng returned to the field and began to ravage the Mavericks inside.When Haywood and Seraphim play together, the speed of the inside will be reduced to a very slow point, and the Clippers can easily play a quick counterattack.

After signing a six-year, $6 million contract, many people defined Haywood's contract as another rubbish signing for Cuban.Although the Mavericks repeatedly boasted Haywood's 5500+9 and 9-minute data on the BBR in the previous season and tried to prove that as long as he is given starting time, he is also a starting-level center for a strong team averaging double-doubles per game.But the question now is not how many points Heywood can score, nor how many rebounds he can grab, but whether he can give enough protection to the teammates on the outside who have good defensive awareness but are really unconscious on their legs and heels. He has never been good at, and he has not done well in the past.With an annual salary of nearly tens of millions, Haywood has now become the third substitute in the interior, playing only more minutes than Mahinmi, averaging 36 points and 4 rebounds per game.

In the third quarter, the Clippers hit a 12-2 shock wave, extending the score to 28 points, and the Mavericks were unable to resist.

快船客场121比97大胜。这场比赛，叶锋获得了19次罚球，命中了16个，得到了41分8篮板6助攻。他现在好像一打小牛就很来劲。

The Mavericks fought hard in the fourth game, and Thibodeau was not polite, and sent an offensive lineup, allowing Thornton to start and Ye Feng to partner outside.At the beginning, Ye Feng screened for Thornton and helped him create singles opportunities. Thornton shot very resolutely, and he shot when he had the ball. Marion followed Thornton. He can use his height advantage to shoot, and he can also rely on Deron's back to break through.

With such a small change, the Mavericks were caught off guard, and the defensive formation was completely messed up. When they thought of a defensive method, the score had already been stretched.

In the final analysis, the advantage of the Clippers over the Mavericks is still in the paint. The Clippers players will try their best to get to the basket. Players, Nowitzki is not known for his defense, it's no wonder he can withstand it.Deron Williams and Jason Terry can stand up and score, but the defense is terrible. With these two on the court, the Clippers' offense will be very easy.

In the fourth quarter, the Mavericks "handed over their guns" 5 minutes early.At the last moment, some home fans of the Mavericks began to applaud and congratulate the Clippers players. They are the real powerhouses in the NBA!
Losing to the Clippers is not a shame. Before the game, many experts analyzed that even the Bulls, who won the second three consecutive championships that year, have little chance of winning against the current Clippers. Ye Feng and Smith can prevent Jordan from becoming Kobe.

The Clippers can rest for at least 3 more days. In the same game, the Thunder and the Spurs drew 2-2.The Thunder used speed to break through the Spurs' defense, retaining the hope of advancing. The fifth game is extremely critical, and the Clippers can sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight again.
