NBA backer king

Chapter 620 First Round Sweep + Sixth MVP
Also in Los Angeles, David Robinson was in the same mood as the Postman, badly.

When Postman joined the Lakers last year, he thought he had a chance to win the championship, but the fact slapped him loudly.

The only thing that can comfort him is that he chose the Lakers at the time, while Ewing chose the Suns. Now that Ewing has retired, he has no chance at all, and he still has a chance.

Gary Payton is now in a much better mood than Postman and Robinson. Although the 25% chance of winning is not as good as the Suns, it is not bad.

But only slightly better than the two postmen, he was still in a bad mood.

I chose the Blazers at the beginning, no, I was pushed to the Blazers by those bastards of Dameng. Unexpectedly, the Blazers injured two big insiders at the beginning of the season, which caused a serious rotation problem inside, which affected the record.

Now the media is more optimistic about the Suns, which is why he is in a bad mood.

If he had gone to the Suns back then, the championship would definitely have been secured, but unfortunately, he was played by some bastards from Dameng.

……

This afternoon, Lao Wang held a party at home and invited his teammates and their families to come and have fun and relax.

He found an opportunity to call Nash, Stoudemire, Joe Johnson, Marion and other four main players aside, and chatted with them.

"Well, are you satisfied with your own data?" he asked.

The four of them were embarrassed for a while, old K, what do you want us to say?Say we are satisfied, that is impossible, say we are not satisfied, does that mean that we are not satisfied with you?
Lao Wang didn't give them a chance to speak at all, and said with a smile: "This season's situation is a bit special. From next season, I will allocate some shots to you. What do you think?"

"Old K?"

The four looked at each other.

They still knew that this was Old K's team. Even if Old K was willing, the management and coaching staff would not be willing, nor would the fans of the Suns. Even if Old K was the leader of the league, the league would not be willing.

Lao Wang then changed the subject, his purpose was to comfort a few main teammates in this way before the start of the playoffs.

Because of his existence, the statistics of these main teammates have been suppressed, which will have an impact on their future, and he understands this.

It has always been for this reason that once his team has too many young players, the lineup will be very fluid.

Unless, like when he was with the Lakers, he finds a few veteran players who can still play, and the lineup is more stable, so that he can win three consecutive championships.

He is a little worried now that once Stoudemire, Joe Johnson, and Marion win the championship, they will have the idea of ​​leaving the Suns.

Nash is better, this season won the second assists leader in the Suns, and his desire to attack is not too strong.

On the 16th, the league officially announced some personal honors.

The king of all statistics, Pharaoh won three items alone, the assists king was won by Nash, and the steals king was won by Baron Davis.

In addition, D'Antoni won the honor of the best coach by virtue of his coaching performance this season and the Suns' first record in the league.

DPOY gave Artest of the Pacers, the best rookie is LeBron James, and the best sixth man is Antawn Millison.

At the same time, the league announced that the MVP winner will be announced before the second round.

On the 17th, the first round will start.

The Suns took Mosaic lightly in the G1 game, winning by 30 points and getting off to a good start.

In the next three games, the Suns completed a sweep of Mosaic, the first in the league to reach the second round.

On May 5st, it was the day when the league announced the MVP winner.

The media is very concerned. If this year's MVP is given to Old K, it means that the league has really changed its policy over the past few seasons, and Old K will truly return to the top of the league.

At 10 am, the MVP winner was announced, Wang Tiejun.

This is his sixth MVP, and the fifth was in 6. After three years, he finally regained this hard honor.

All of a sudden, countless congratulatory calls and text messages flooded in, overwhelming his phone.

In addition, the system gave him a symbolic reward of 300 points.

On May 5, the second round begins.

At this time, the first round of the Eastern Conference has not yet been played. The Heat and the Pelicans have three draws and will tie the game on the 4th.

In the West, the second round will be the Suns against the Lakers, and the Timberwolves against the Trail Blazers. The former has home court advantage.

The Lakers also used six games to beat the Kings by a big score of [-] to [-], and it was a bit difficult to win.

Both the Timberwolves and the Trail Blazers eliminated their opponents with a big score of [-] to [-], which is relatively easy to win.

In the East, the Pacers will play against the Pistons, and the Nets will play against the winner of the Heat and Pelicans in the second round.

On the 2nd, the Phoenix West Arena, the Suns vs. the Lakers, the second round of G1.

Last year, the Suns and the Lakers had problems in the Western Conference Finals. O'Neal was injured and suspended, causing the Lakers to lose in the Finals, while the Suns suffered even greater losses. At the same time, it also caused huge economic losses to the league and the TV broadcasters of the Finals.

Then at the All-Star Weekend, the old K and O'Neill's wife spread the scandal of "going alone to have sex alone".

In order to avoid the violent incidents in the Western Conference finals last year, this time, the league sent someone to hold the lineup, and the president David Stern came in person to sit in the American West Arena.

Of course, he is also here to present the MVP trophy.

The game started at 08:30, at eight o'clock, the two sides announced the starting lineup.

Lakers: O'Neal, Karl Malone, Devin George, Kobe Bryant, Fisher

Suns: Wang Tiejun, Amare Stoudemire, Marion, Joe Johnson, Nash
At the CCTV commentary table, Zhang Reasonable analyzed: "Stoudemire came back from injury for two months, and started directly. This should be a good recovery.

On the Lakers side, the original main small forward Rick Fox suffered a lot of injuries. He has no chance this season and only averaged 4 minutes per game. He might retire after the playoffs.

How to say about Devin George's strength, the breakthrough ability is average, but the second offensive awareness is very strong, the three-pointer is okay, but the overall is not stable enough, convulsive players, in fact, it is more suitable to play as a substitute, the Lakers have no better now, so they can only let him play the main force.

On the defensive end, his defensive basic skills are average, he is often forced by others, and occasionally he will stage some soul-stirring caps, but the overall defense is not good, which is why he can only serve as a substitute for Fox for several seasons. "

Su Qun continued: "Director Zhang, what chance do you think the Suns have in this series? Although the Lakers' regular season is not good, the strength of the Big Four teaming up is indeed very strong."

Zhang Lili smiled and said: "Don't be intimidated by the four of them. The postman is no longer a superstar. He is not a giant. The general is already old and worse than the postman. The real giant is the OK combination.

Even O'Neill is actually in a state of decline from the peak, and the tonnage is basically out of control.

However, the OK combination has broken through the state of incongruity. Before, they could maintain a relationship on the surface, but now the relationship on the surface is very stiff. How much cooperation they can play, I think it is questionable. "

"MVP! MVP! MVP..."

At this time, the two sides started to play, and when Pharaoh finally played, the audience began to shout continuously.

David Stern stood in the center of the field, waiting for Lao Wang with a smile on his face. The moment the two shook hands, the surrounding media cameras flashed continuously.

"Congratulations, old K."

"Thank you, Mr. Stern."

Although David Stern let go of Lao Wang's hand, he did not present the trophy immediately, but continued: "Old K, I hope the next playoffs will be a perfect game. You won't let me down, will you?"

Old Wang smiled and said, "I hope so too."

David Stern sighed secretly. Old K had two things that did not satisfy him. One was nationality and the other was violence. If there were no these two issues, everything would be perfect. He would definitely put the name of the God of Basketball in front of Old K’s name.

But the old K hit people on the court again after the All-Star, which made him very disappointed. Now he only hopes that LeBron James can grow up as soon as possible.

Then he took the Maurice Podolov Cup from his assistant and handed it to Wang.

"boom!"

When Lao Wang raised the trophy to the fans of the Suns, the cheers of the entire American West Arena reached its peak.

At this moment, too many people are envious!Envious!jealous!

At the scene, O'Neal, Kobe, Karl Malone, and David Robinson were envious and jealous.

Kobe is fine. After all, he is still at his peak, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. As long as old K gets old, it will be his time.

But O'Neal has begun to slip from the peak, but has not yet won the MVP, so the mood is very complicated.

But the one in the worst mood is the postman Malone. He has already decided to retire if he doesn't win the championship this time. As for the MVP, forget it, let's not have that dream.

But when he thought that this was the sixth MVP for old K, and he couldn't get any of them, he felt very aggrieved and depressed, and felt like vomiting blood.

The aging super center, Admiral David Robinson, is in about the same mood as the Postman.

In addition to the scene, there are many people in front of the TV who are in the same mood as them.

At the end of the award ceremony, when Pharaoh passed by the Lakers bench, he saw Kobe, O'Neal, Malone the postman, and David Robinson, the super F4 lineup of the four giants. This lineup may be gone next season.

Seeing Kobe staring at the trophy in his hand, he handed it over and said, "Kobe, I already have five, and I have no place to put them. This is for you."

"..."

Kobe opened his mouth and didn't react for a moment.

Hearing this sentence, the postman, David Robinson, and O'Neill were also in a daze. They looked at the trophy and didn't react.

The people around who heard this were also silent and looked over.

"Old K, stop pretending in front of me! What's the use of your gift? I can take it myself." After reacting, Kobe said sternly.

"Then you can only wait for the judges to feel tired of me." Old Wang laughed and walked over.

"Humph!"

Kobe was so angry that his nose bleeds.

At 08:30, the game officially started.

Pharaoh and O'Neill stood opposite each other.

After Lao Wang returned from the ban, the two have not met because of O'Neal's injury. This is the first time the two have met on the court since the Western Conference Finals last season, and they stood together again.

He estimated that O'Neill now has a tonnage of almost 160 kilograms. Is this O'Neill his opponent?

"Snapped!"

The moment the ball was thrown up and reached the peak, he soared into the air and took the lead to get the ball away.

Sun attack.

At the free throw line, Pharaoh just stopped there.

O'Neill had a headache, and quickly blocked the lower side.

On the right wing, after Stoudemire went out, the postman stood outside the right waist position of the paint area, and most of his attention was on the high position. If there is any trouble, he will definitely go in to double-team immediately.

But now that he has old arms and legs, and a serious knee injury, he doesn't even count on how fast he can help defend.

"Oh, Kobe defended Nash himself?" Su Qun asked in surprise.

"This is to destroy the organizational function of the Suns." Zhang Lili said quickly.

Seeing Kobe standing in front of Nash, Joe Johnson, who was outside the right-wing three-point line, hurried over and set up a pick-and-roll for Nash.

Nash pulled to the right, but was followed by Fisher, but at this moment, he suddenly backhanded a back pass, and the ball flew to the high old Wang.

The pass was very sudden. The postman on the right waist didn't react immediately, and the double-teaming of the help defense was a bit slower. When he reacted, Lao Wang on the free throw line had already received the ball.

"squeak!"

The next moment after catching the ball, amidst the ear-piercing friction of the sneakers, the club swing started. With the right foot as the axis, he quickly leaned on O’Neal to complete a right turn. Without dribbling, the left hand held the ball, and the right elbow was stuck against O’Neal between the turns. His left foot landed, and he stepped into the paint area, completing a breakthrough against O’Neal.

He took another step with his right foot, and after the second step, his figure rose violently. When he was walking in the air, he raised his left arm high like a battle axe, and slashed fiercely at the basket.

"boom!"

The violent basket explosion sounded instantly.

"what!"

Intense cheers immediately resounded throughout the American West Arena.

"Oh ho ho ho..." A live commentator kept yelling.

"The Sun King easily broke the bench and made a tomahawk split. Now I want to know, who's the bench?"

Another live commentator posed a question to all the home fans.

"O'Neal!"

There was a huge response at the scene, followed by a shocking laugh.

"Ha ha……"

Zhang Lili and Su Qun laughed and collapsed on the commentary booth.

Annoyed, O'Neal ran to the frontcourt and rushed directly to the basket. Nuo Da's weight gave him a strong impact while moving. Even if the speed is not very fast, it is difficult to block him head-on.

Lao Wang didn't block, but went around to block the space for O'Neal to receive the ball.

After Kobe crossed the center line, he extended his hand to Fisher. With his position in the Lakers, his position as the outside core of the three-peat dynasty and the last two championships far surpassed O'Neal's position in the Lakers. Fisher had no idea of ​​​​resistance, and immediately passed it on.

On the right wing, Kobe took the ball, faced Joe Johnson, and made a gesture of pulling away. He wanted to single out.

But the Suns didn't give him a chance to play singles. Instead, they put up a two-one-two defensive formation, and Marion immediately rushed over from the free throw line.

Joe Johnson is three centimeters taller, so the height advantage is not great, but the tonnage advantage is great. He is 109 kilograms, and Kobe is now 101 kilograms.

But just when he wanted to use the tonnage advantage to block Kobe and create a double-team opportunity for Marion, Kobe suddenly turned around and leaned against him, and then started the club step. Under the swing, he quickly completed a left turn and broke through, holding the ball from the right and hitting the three-point line.

Marion's double-team direction was Kobe's left side, and he failed to complete the double-team, so he quickly turned and turned down, preparing to intercept Kobe halfway.

But Kobe made an emergency stop for a jumper and scored two points.

"brush!"

Splashes appeared and two points were hit.

Zhang Lili smiled and said: "Kobe averaged 28 points per game in the regular season this season, shooting 45.8% from the field, which is a bit worse than last season's performance. Apart from off-court reasons, it shows that his knee injury still has an impact on him."

"Yes, his scoring in the first round was similar to that of the regular season, only 0.5 points more, but his shooting percentage dropped by two percentage points. He is not one of the rare superstars like old K Jordan whose efficiency and scoring in the playoffs are higher than the regular season." Su Qun said.

The Suns attacked, and Lao Wang fell to the high position again.

"The Iron Army pulled O'Neal out of the basket, made full use of his mobility, and created breakthrough space for his teammates, which made the Lakers a headache!" Zhang Lili laughed.

At this time, Nash pulled to the left wing, made a pick-and-roll with Marion, and after throwing off Kobe, he began to break through with the ball from the wing.

When Devin George switched defenses, Kobe's speed was not as good as Nash's, and his speed couldn't keep up with Nash at all.

Seeing that Nash threw off the defense and came to the paint, O'Neal, who was below the free throw line, could only choose to take a step back to the basket.

Nash rushed directly to the basket with the ball, O'Neal could only retreat directly to the basket, and at this time the high-ranking Lao Wang jumped down.

Nash threw himself in front of O'Neal, and the ball in his hand had already flown towards Lao Wang. Lao Wang caught the ball, kicked his feet suddenly, and immediately took off.

"Shut him!"

This scene instantly reminded countless Suns fans of the G5 game in the Western Conference Finals last year, so, the next moment, there was a neat and huge shout in the West West Arena.

Also at this moment, Wang Tiejun, who was flying in the air, pressed down on O'Neill with his left hand, holding the ball in his right hand like a tomahawk, and slashed down instantly.

"boom!"

Amid the violent explosion of baskets, O'Neill collapsed.

"Roar!"

The American West Arena was like an explosion, and a tsunami-like shout rang out.

"Yeah, ah, ah..."

"Dunk! Old K dunked O'Neal! He dunked O'Neal..."

The two on-site commentators started screaming frantically.

"It's great! It's great..." Su Qun shouted excitedly.

"Haha..." Zhang Lili laughed happily.

On the Suns bench, a group of substitute players including Zhu Fangyu were excitedly waving white towels and yelling at the field.

Under the basket, Lao Wang looked down at O'Neal, but dismissed it, turned around and celebrated with his teammates.

"Hohohoho..."

O'Neill lay on the floor, panting like a cow.

"brush!"

An extra penalty hit, 2:5, the Suns led by 3 points.
