I'm really good at shooting.

Chapter 458 2005~2006 Regular Season MVP (First update!)

Last year's MVP selection was full of suspense, and Sun Hao, who won the votes in the end, won by a narrow margin. Compared with this year's selection, it is even worse.

The players with relatively high voices are (in no particular order):
Yao Ming, averaging 25.6 points, 10.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 2 blocks per game;

McGrady averaged 23.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.6 steals per game;

Anthony, averaging 24.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.1 steals per game;

Kobe, averaging 30.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.4 steals per game;

Nash averaged 15.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, 11.5 assists and 1 steal per game;

斯塔德迈尔，场均25分8.7板1.5助攻1抢断1.6盖帽；

詹姆斯，场均31.7分6.6板7.9助攻1.6抢断1.1盖帽；

Sun Hao, averaging 33.3 points, 3.6 rebounds, 7.2 assists and 1.3 steals per game;

The two major reference elements for MVP selection, data and record.

In terms of record, the rankings of these players' teams are Wizards, Pistons, Mavericks, Suns, Lakers, and Nuggets.

To sum up, there is generally such a feature: the record with data is not dominant, and the data with superior record is relatively weak.

"Don't ask me, I don't know who will be the MVP this year."

Even Barkley, who always likes to show off on the show, didn't place a bet this time.

Although the guesses in the forum are like guessing a lottery ticket of [-] million yuan, each has its own reasons, and it is impossible to say which one is more convincing.

The Lakers are preparing for the upcoming Western Conference Finals.

"Do you think you can be reelected?"

After the training, Sun Hao and O'Neal sat on the sidelines to rest and chat as usual.

"No."

Sun Hao gave his own answer.

"That's not the point, Shaq, I prefer Finals MVP."

After Sun Hao finished speaking, he added with a smile.

O'Neill was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud after being teased by Sun Hao.

But in fact, he would ask this question, and he also knew that it would be difficult for Sun Hao to win the MVP consecutively.

Although the data is extremely gorgeous, even with a performance of 81 points in a single game, the Lakers' record is relatively poor.

"If you really fail in the reelection, I will do my best to help you get the FMVP."

After laughing, O'Neill said seriously.

Sharks seldom speak like this, but it is also because of the rare, you can feel the firm determination.

That kind of arrogance that allows you to cut mountains and volcanoes, and I will go forward indomitably.

Sun Hao didn't say anything, just nodded.

No matter how difficult it is to win this championship, he and the Lakers will be determined!

The fans guessed very hard for a season. The good news is that on the second day, the league announced the final results of the MVP vote.

The end result was "unexpected".

However, judging from the comments of the fans after the game, it is also reasonable.

The MVP of the 2005~2006 regular season is... Yao Ming!
Although it is confusing, the most popular MVP can still be focused on three people: Sun Hao with the best statistics, Yao Ming with the best record, and Kobe who is not the best in statistics and record but has advantages.

The final result of the voting is also in this trend.

The winning Yao Ming got 26% of the votes, followed by Sun Hao with 23.6%, and Kobe Bryant again with 22%.

Nash, who ranked fourth, and James, who ranked fifth, received only 9% and 8.6% of the votes.

After the awards ceremony, Sun Hao immediately called Yao Ming to congratulate him.

64 wins, the best record in the league, and an average of close to 26+11+3+2 per game. Such a record and honor to win the MVP is indeed worthy.

Although he regretted not being able to win the reelection, Sun Hao also felt that this wave was not a loss when he lost to "his own" Yao Ming.

And he is also happy for Yao Ming from the bottom of his heart.

Yao Ming in history, due to injuries, fell down at his peak, leaving countless regrets.

So much so that in the future, when many fans discuss Yao Ming, because of lack of honor, they will appear such as "Who is stronger, Tyson Chandler or Yao Ming", "Yao Ming is completely dependent on his height, and he is not outstanding in terms of technology". class topics.

The same examples include Anthony, McGrady, Carter and so on.

But as long as you have watched the ball, you will know that the dominance of these players at their peak can occupy a place in the long history of the NBA.

This is also the fundamental reason why James made so many "decisions" in history.

Because when they retire, new fans have never seen them play, and they will evaluate them with statistics and honors during discussions.

Now that Yao Ming has the MVP guarantee, there will be fewer or no boring topics in the future.

The most direct proof is that after the results of the MVP selection came out, the country has exploded.

"The No. [-] Center in Active Service! "

The headline on the front page of the Basketball Herald is quite eye-catching.

"Yao next year! "

The title of the sports weekly is not far behind.

Even CCTV 5 made a documentary specifically for Yao Ming.

The excerpts of the documentary cover many highlight moments of Yao Ming's season from the beginning of the season to the end of the season.

They were obviously well prepared.

But if you ask the people from CCTV, they will tell you that actually... Sun Hao's is also done.

Yao Ming's sneaker endorser, AJ, also announced on this day that they would release an MVP commemorative sneaker in the summer.

Why does Yao Ming endorse AJ instead of Reebok?

Fertilizer water does not flow into the field of outsiders!

Jordan is the little boss of the Wizards!

Although the center does not sell shoes very much, but after all, the influence is there.

In domestic forums, the fans are already cheering.

"The Chinese players in the NBA, besides Sun Hao, there is my big Yao Ming!"

"Although it's a pity that Sun Hao didn't win the MVP for a second time, Chinese players have won it again!"

"When Yi Jianlian also wins the MVP, then the Chinese players will be awarded three yuan!"

"Haha, although I really want to say that you really dare to think, but everything is possible!"

"My Chinese men's basketball team has two MVPs! I can't wait to watch this year's World Championships with this restless little heart!"

"To win the championship, you must win the championship. The Chinese men's basketball team is double the world champion!"

"I was still hesitating, but now I have decided to send my 10-year-old son Wang Ergou to play basketball!"

"I have also decided, my son is 8 years old, Zhao Quandan."

"My son, 7 years old, Zhang Zhenlin."

……

The MVP talk continues, but for the four teams heading into the conference finals, all the focus is on the game.

The same goes for Sun Hao.

And one thing only he knows is that the following games will be more difficult than all the games in the past season.

Because he failed to win the MVP consecutively, his "MVP" aura came to an end.

In other words, his abilities in all aspects will be a little weaker than before, and it will become more difficult to defend his title.

However, his attitude is the same as that of O'Neill before him, regardless of the mountains and fires, he will move forward bravely.

The Eastern Conference finals started first, and the Wizards and Pistons were the favorites to win the championship. This game also attracted a considerable number of people watching.

According to ESPN, it was the most-watched Eastern Conference Finals in NBA history.

Although there is no Sun Hao, Yao Ming, who has just won the MVP, has exploded in domestic attention.

With the attention of Chinese fans, it is not appropriate if the ratings are not explosive.

Fans paid a lot of attention, and the game was extremely intense.

Take a closer look at the four teams that advanced to the conference finals. In fact, they are all offensive and defensive teams with superstars.

Last year, the Wizards were always at the bottom of the game against the Pistons because of the coaching level.

However, Carlisle's entry has transformed the team, and the original disadvantage has become an advantage.

This also allows the Wizards to always have an advantage over the Pistons in the game.

In the end, after four quarters of fierce fighting, the Wizards won a thrilling 97-91 and won the first victory in the Eastern Conference Finals.

姚明22分15板5助攻3盖帽，麦迪29分，汉密尔顿17分。

Anthony 26 points, Rasheed Wallace 19 points, Billups 17 points and 7 assists.

After you sing, we will appear.

The smoke of the Eastern Conference Finals has not yet cleared, and the battle for the Western Conference Finals will begin soon.

Like the Wizards Pistons, the Lakers Suns are also offensive and defensive, super giants.

And because of Sun Hao, the attention of the Western Conference Finals is only high.

On the day of the game, even if it was just a training session, the two teams attracted a lot of attention.

The training of the Lakers as the visiting team was in the morning, and Sun Hao was caught and interviewed by reporters after the training.

"D'Antoni and Nash were in the Warriors before, and you just defeated the Warriors easily. Do you think the team can easily win tonight?"

The reporter's first question was full of saliva.

"No, the Suns are a great team on both offense and defense, and Steve has found the best team for him in Phoenix, so my opinion is the exact opposite of yours, it's going to be the best team we've had going into the playoffs. Tough game."

"Then do you have the confidence to lead the team to victory?"

"Of course, we have only one goal this season."

"Defending?"

"Yes, defending."

Sun Hao showed his confidence without reservation.

The Suns' training was in the afternoon, just like in the morning. Nash, who is the core of the team, was caught and interviewed by reporters, and the questions he asked were similar to those in the morning.

"Are you confident you can beat them?"

When the reporter throws this question.

"They're doomed!"

Before Nash could answer, a man suddenly ran out behind him.

Taking a closer look, it was Tim Thomas who joined the team after the trade deadline.

Thomas wanted to go to the Lakers and was rejected. After switching to the Suns, he performed well. Now he is an important rotation for the team, averaging nearly 10 points per game.

"We are confident that we have adjusted to the best."

Nash looked back to see Thomas, nodded after laughing a few times.

Thomas is strong, but that mouth is a bit big like the former Suns star Barkley.

These interviews were also reported by reporters before the game.

Sun Hao revealed that the Lakers' only goal is to defend the title, and Tim Thomas boasted that the Suns will win.

These saliva made the already fierce competition more tense and attracted more attention.

During the warm-up before the game, Sun Hao and Nash just had a brief face-to-face meeting with each other.

After the warm-up was over, amidst the cheers of the fans at the scene, we entered the opening ceremony.

As the visiting team, the Lakers took the lead in introducing Payton, Sun Hao, Ariza, Walker, and O'Neal.

The Suns followed, Nash, Pietrus, Marion, Stoudemire, Kurt Thomas.

Both sides are regular starting lineups.

Amidst the cheers of the fans, Stoudemire jumped high and won the opportunity for the Suns to take the lead in attacking.

Nash took the ball to the frontcourt, glanced at Payton who was defending him in front of him, and waved his hand.

Stoudemire mentioned the high post as a pick-and-roll.

When it comes to pick-and-rolls, the fans talk about Marlon Stockton the most, and the future fans are Deron Boozer.

There is no other reason, because these two pairs are the proud disciples of pick-and-roll master Jerry Sloan.

But what is easily overlooked is the pick-and-roll between Nash and Stoudemire.

In the Suns' smooth offense, their pick-and-roll is the source of the team's tactics.

And the pick-and-roll tactics are simple to say, but complicated to say.

Generally, there are more up and down pick-and-rolls in the arena, that is, one inside and one outside after being disassembled.

But Nash and Stoudemire's pick-and-rolls are more changeable, up and down, and left and right.

For example, in this round, the two of them are left and right pick and rolls. After the split, the two cut in from the left and right at the same time.

The Lakers' defensive center of gravity is on Stoudemire's side, and Nash saw the last stop-and-go throw.

The ball goes over Walker's defense.

"boom!"

After rebounding, he wiped the backboard and fell into the net bag.

The Suns came out on top.

Phil Jackson looked up at the timer at this point.

5 seconds.

The Suns' offense only took 5 seconds.

The Lakers advanced to the frontcourt, and Payton was about to throw the ball to O'Neal inside.

Theoretically speaking, the Suns' internal strength is not much stronger than that of the Warriors, and O'Neal's hard work inside is the best way to play.

But before Payton lobbed the ball in, Marion had already put Ariza inside to help defend.

This choice also reflects the difference between the Suns and the Warriors.

Because the Warriors have no defense, the counterattack is very dependent on the speed of offensive and defensive transitions, so the defensive end does not dare to shrink the basket, but the Suns are different.

To use a vivid sentence to distinguish, the Warriors play counterattacks, while the Suns play more defensive counterattacks.

Payton quickly passed the ball to Ariza in the bottom corner.

It's a good pick, and Ariza also makes quick releases after the catch.

But at the moment when Ariza made a shot, Marion had returned to the defense and interfered with his shooting.

Don't be surprised, passing the ball takes time, especially from the top of the key to the bottom corner across a quarter of the court.

Of course, there is Marion's excellent personal prediction.

"when!"

Ariza's shot hit the box out.

The Lakers' first offense went nowhere.

And after the ball popped out, it was a long rebound, and several people near the Suns rushed over it almost at the same time.

Defensive counterattack, rebounding is the foundation.

Pietrus grabbed the rebound and turned to Nash.

Nash turned around and made a fast break, and the Suns immediately played D'Antoni's most proud V-shaped fast break.

As soon as Nash reached the front three-point line, Pietrus and Stoudemire had already followed up from the left and right.

Ariza saw that Payton had retreated to the basket, and directly rushed to Pietrus on the outside.

Nash faked a layup, changed hands in the air and passed the ball behind Stoudemire who followed up on the other side.

Stoudemire took the ball and jumped, and smashed the ball into the basket with a signature one-handed slam dunk.

4 is better than 0!

The morale of the Suns started like a rainbow!
The Suns' bench was also aroused by Stoudemire's dunk.

"They're doomed!"

Tim Thomas rushed to the sidelines at this time and shouted excitedly again.
