I really play basketball

Chapter 187
The league finally awarded Dpoy to Ewing. In terms of statistics, he averaged 23.9 points, 11.0 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per game.

比场均21.3分9.9个篮板2.9个盖帽的莫宁强那么一点点，比场均27.6分10.8个篮板2.9个助攻1.7个抢断3.2个盖帽的上将差了那么一点。

But the Knicks restricted opponents to only 95.1 points per game, ranking second in the league.

The sixth Hornets in the league and the No.12 Spurs in the league are a bit far behind.

In the Bay Area, Lin Xing was stunned when he heard the news.

"This... the gorilla also has a heavyweight personal honor?"

Although Ewing is one of the four major centers, he still overwhelmed Mourning.

But in his previous life, when it came to honor, he didn't care what he wanted.

There is no MVP, no championship, and even as the boss of the iron-blooded Knicks, the team's defense is either first or second every year.

But looking at his entire career, he doesn't even have a Dpoy.

Even Mourning later pressed the shark and took two Dpoy.

Ewing has none of the four major centers, which is a bit outrageous to be true.

If you want to find the reason, there are probably two.

One is that Ewing has too many opponents, let alone the other three of the four major centers.

Not to mention pure strength and the record of fighting each other, but only one personal data, he can't compare with those three.

So in the 90s, there were often bizarre scenes——

Ewing leads the Eastern Conference first and second, and the statistics are not bad, but after the end of the season, the pork of honor is divided.

Not to mention MVP and Dpoy, the best team and the best defense team don't have his share.

Just say that last season, the Knicks tied with the Eagles for the first place in the East and third in the league with 57 wins.

As a result, the three centers of the best team are Dameng, Admiral and Shark...

And, last season the Knicks ranked first in the league in defense.

As a result, the best defensive team, the first team is a big dream center, and the second team is a general.

Secondly, it is the league's contempt for Ewing.

Take last season as an example——

The problem of the best team is actually not a big problem, after all, the best team needs to combine data performance and record.

The problem with the best defensive team is even bigger. In terms of defensive statistics, even if Ewing is poor, he is not much worse than Dameng and Admiral.

Isn't the best defense in the league worthy of the best defense?

But this year, the league has given Ewing respect.

"It's all right now, the gorilla is also backed up..."

However, the gorilla only survived for a day.

It's not that the Knicks lost to the Pacers again, but that the league officially announced the ownership of the best team and the best defensive team the next day.

The best lineup, Lin Xing, Danzi, Kemp, Ma Long and General.

The second team of the best team, Stockton, Penny, Pi Er, Barkley and Sharks.

Three teams, Payton, Rock Richmond, Schramf, Cedric Ceballos and Big Dream.

emmm... no Ewing.

But still the same sentence, the best team is not a big problem. After all, the personal data performance of the three major centers is much better than Ewing.

The problem is the best defense.

The first team of the best defensive team, Lin Xing, Danzi, Pi Er, Horace Grant and generals;

Second team, John Stockton, Payton, Nate McMillan, Derek McKay and... Dikembe Mutombo.

"What, I am a Dpoy, not selected for the best defensive team?"

Not to mention Lin Xing, even Ewing's face changed in surprise.

Immediately ran to the NBA headquarters to find trouble with the league.

The operation of Dpoy not being selected for the best defensive team in this wave of the league is really a bit insulting to Ewing.

Isn't this saying: Ewing, this Dpoy, was rewarded to him by the league?
This is even more outrageous than the later Dpoy who was the second defense center...

But to talk about trouble with the alliance?Don't be kidding, the Knicks are not welcomed by the league.

If you go to trouble the alliance again, isn't it just looking for shit?

Riley hurriedly stopped him, this matter, just like this...

In the Bay Area, Lin Xing started a team and a defense.

This time, he was selected as a defender.

Regardless of the first team or the first defense, the partner at the guard position is Danzi.

then……

"The best lineup is announced, and Star and Michael are teaming up at the back line."

"The Best Defensive Team is announced, and Star and Michael are teaming up at the back line."

In Chicago, Danzi just wanted to ask: Why is there such a Stalin everywhere?

But he didn't have time to ask, because the Bulls vs. Magic's G3 immediately started.

In this game, Danzi still tried his best, making 31 of 16 shots and scoring 40 points.

But the Bulls still lost, because the Sharks made 10 of 8 free throws and [-]% of their free throws made the Bulls unable to cut into the Sharks.

Sharks cannot be cut, which means that bulls cannot restrain sharks.

With a score of 110 to 101, the Bulls returned home and lost another game, trailing 1-2 in the series.

Immediately afterwards, there was a battle between the Knicks and the Pacers.

Ewing, who won the Dpoy trophy but lost the best defensive team, had mixed feelings.

As a result, after the game was over, Ewing couldn't be happy at all.

Because the Knicks lost, although they only lost by 2 points, a loss is a loss.

This also means that the Knicks were defeated by the Pacers and fell behind 1 to 2.

Reggie Miller, who couldn't stretch his hips in the last game, scored 26 points and 11 rebounds in this game, which is very tough.

After the game, the New York media was also worried: "We won't be eliminated by the Pacers, right?"

You know, last year's Eastern Conference Finals, these two teams played until the tiebreaker.

Although the Knicks won, but in G5, in the fourth quarter, Reggie Miller scored 25 points in a single quarter.

At Madison Square Garden, strangling himself.

Facing such a Reggie Miller who doesn't agree with each other and makes no sense, Knicks fans are still a little worried.

Lin Xing wanted to say: Don't worry, this year's Knicks really can't beat the Pacers.

The reason is that Lin Xing is not familiar with the future direction.

But this Knicks team against the Pacers has little advantage on the inside, but has a lot of disadvantages on the outside.

In other words, compared to last season, the Knicks this season have gone downhill.

No wonder, Riley left New York after this season.

The upper limit of the Knicks is here. If you don't leave at this time, are you waiting for the saliva of the New York fans to completely drown yourself?

……

The next day, it was Warriors vs. Sonics G3.

The game was moved to Seattle, Key Arena, Lin Xing is also very familiar with it.

On the one hand, he must come four times a season. On the other hand, before he entered the NBA, he often came to this arena to watch Payton's games.

Playing in a familiar arena, although there are boos in his ears, Lin Xing has no pressure.

No pressure, no pressure, the Warriors lost this game.

It's not that I lost to the offense——

On the offensive end, Lin Xing had 27 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists, Xiao Chong 19 points, Madman 17 points, and Chris Gatlin also scored 15 points.

Add Mullin's 11 points, Rodman's 9 points, Kerr and Dale Ellis' 6 points...

In this game, the Warriors directly scored 122 points, which is not a lot.

The loss is due to the defense——

The madman's defense allowed Schramf to score 39 points. Because Schramf went berserk, Lin Xing also failed to watch Payton, and Payton also scored 47.6 points and 21 assists with a 8% shooting rate.

Plus Kemp's 33 points, and Sam Perkins, who came off the bench and hit 4 three-pointers.

In this game, the Warriors allowed the SuperSonics to score 127 points.

In the end, with a score of 122 to 127, a game was lost.

After the game, Old Nelson didn't lose his temper.

It's not that he doesn't care about losing a game, but that he doesn't pay much attention to defense.

It is normal to lose a game because of defense.

As far as the Warriors' unsystematic defense has been defending very well, that is a strange thing.

The next day, Game 3 of the Rockets vs. Spurs.

The Spurs won and pulled back a game away.

上将的表现也没问题，15中10砍下29分9个篮板4个助攻4个抢断1个盖帽。

but……

对面的大梦32中19轰下了43分，还有11个篮板4个助攻5个大帽。

If it weren't for the teammate's poor performance, the Rockets would have won the match point.

Still the same sentence: The general is still the RBQ of the big dream, although the Spurs won.

What Lin Xing was concerned about was: Why did Dameng score 2 points higher than Danzi in this round?Just leave it to me to take the rhythm alone, right?
……

In G4 of the Bulls vs. Magic, Danzi scored 36 points and the Sharks made 20 of 7 free throws.

As a result, the Bulls pulled back another victory, 2-2.

In G4 of the Knicks vs. the Pacers, the two sides faced each other and abused each other defensively.

But the Knicks were so overwhelmed by Ewing's offense that no one else could stand up except Ewing.

反倒是步行者，2米24的大中锋里克·施密茨爆发了，砍下25分11个篮板2个大帽，兑掉了25分8个篮板3个助攻1个抢断1个盖帽的尤因。

Reggie Miller scored 4 three-pointers and 21 points, leading the team to victory and leading the series 3-1.

After four games, it was unexpected that the Pacers were the first to widen the gap.

After that, it was the turn of the Warriors.

In the G4 battle, the Warriors changed their original defensive matchup.

Lin Xing switched his defense to Detlef Schramff, because the old Nelson suddenly discovered that the German was the greater threat to the Supersonic offensive end.

As a result, this adjustment has really achieved results.

Schramf was only 15 of 5 shots defended by Lin Xing, which directly collapsed the Sonics' offensive defense.

Investigate its origin——

The offenses of Payton and Kemp are somewhat unstable, and the only stable scoring point for the Sonics is Schramf.

They always habitually find Schramf when they can't break through the opponent's defense alone, or throw the blame to Schramf.

In many cases, Schramf, who took over the pot, can really get the ball in. I have to say that he is worthy of being the senior of the old driver.

But in this game, against Lin Xing's defense, the Germans failed.

Without his insurance for the Supersonics, the offense would be out of order.

Fighting and fighting, the Warriors took a big lead.

The game was won so easily.

3 to 1, the Warriors got the match point.

In the fourth game of the Rockets vs. Spurs, the Spurs won again.

In this game, the admiral was finally able to interact with Dameng. Dameng defended him with a score of 16 for 6, and he defended Dameng with a score of 24 for 9.

Relying on defense, the Spurs pulled another round, and the series was tied 2-2.

……

公牛vs魔术的G5，丹子39分，但鲨鱼23分22个篮板4个助攻2个抢断5个大帽。

Seeing these 22 rebounds, you should understand what the Bulls' inside line was exploded in this game.

Although the Sharks made 19 of 9 free throws, the Magic still won by relying on rebounds.

3 to 2, they got the match point.

In the following G6, Danzi, who had a high score, was finally stopped for a game.

In this game, he scored 19 of 8 and only scored 24 points.

The Bulls also lost the most critical G6, with a total score of 2 to 4 in the series, and were out...

"The Bulls were eliminated, and that's the end of Mike's first season back."

At the end of the game, the commentator Mike Breen was very sorry.

But it's useless to regret, who made the Bulls' inside line too weak?

After the game, Nick Anderson, who had been defending Danzi, repeated Lin Xing's words like a parrot——

"The 45th Mickey is not as good as the 23rd Mickey!"

On the other side, the Pacers, who led the Knicks 3-1, were pulled twice in the next two games.

The series therefore entered the tiebreaker, and in the tiebreaker, Reggie Miller scored 3 points with 29 three-pointers.

Cooperating with the iron-blooded defense built by Larry Brown, the Pacers eliminated the Knicks with a total score of 4 to 3.

The New Yorkers bid farewell to the big stage of this season's playoffs.

After the tiebreaker, Pat Riley finally announced——

"I have decided to resign as head coach of the Knicks immediately and resume free agency!"

As a result, the alliance shook...

……

Warriors vs. Supersonics in G5, just like in G4, Lin Xing switched to defend Schramf, and did not give the Supersonics a single chance from the beginning to the end.

In this way, with a total score of 4 to 1, the Warriors eliminated the Sonics and reached the Western Conference Finals.

"It's still you who are more skilled, but trust me, Si Da, we will be back next year."

After the game, Payton first admitted that the Warriors were the stronger one.

After that, they released harsh words that they will make a comeback next year.

To be honest, Lin Xing believed it.

Although in the past two seasons, the Sonics played like a pseudo-strong team, and they were either eliminated in the first round or the second round of the playoffs.

But the original historical line, next year, they will reach the finals.

It is impossible for them to enter the finals without any reason. It can only be said that there is a reason for their strength in the Supersonics next year.

……

The Warriors were waiting for the Rockets in the Western Conference Finals, and the Rockets didn't let the Warriors wait too long.

After being pulled twice by the Spurs, the series was tied 2-2.

G5, the big dream has started abuse again.

30中16，42分9个篮板8个助攻1个抢断5个大帽。

还防的上将15中7只得到22分12个篮板1个抢断3个盖帽。

Without an assist, he also held 7 turnovers.

111 to 90, the Spurs lost miserably.

G6 is still Dameng's unilateral abusive general.

25投16中，39分17个篮板3个助攻2个抢断5个大帽。

防的上将17中6，只得到19分10个篮板4个抢断1个盖帽。

Although there are still 5 assists, 6 turnovers directly make these 5 assists useless.

After six games, the Rockets defeated the Spurs 4-2 and advanced to the Western Conference Finals.

For a time, the voices of the whole United States were——

"Facing the general, in six games, Dameng averaged 35.3 points, 12.5 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.3 steals and 4.2 blocks per game. The state is simply explosive."

"A dream that even the general can't stop, how can a warrior stop it?"

"Maybe the Western Conference Finals has not yet started, but the outcome has already been decided."

The entire United States is touting the Rockets, and the Warriors are under great pressure.

Old Nelson is indeed having a headache. What can he do to stop such a big dream?
