The invincible kryptonite of basketball

"Don't worry, it's the same as the last time it was sprayed on me."

Ginobili said at this time, last time Green sprayed him all over by mistake.

The person was chosen, and the champagne was ready. Tang Tian and Duncan each held a champagne and stood at the door. Ginobili went to the office to find Popovich.

The teammates behind him tried their best to hold their laughter, Tang Tian turned to look at Duncan.

The expression of the "Stone Buddha" is rare at this time, and if it wasn't for Dio's proposal, he probably wouldn't do such a thing in his life.

Footsteps gradually came from outside the door, and the two began to shake champagne.

Footsteps came from far to near, and the voices of Popovich and Ginobili soon reached the door.

The lock is turned and the door is opened.

"Champagne!"

Following the shouts of their teammates, both Tang Tian and Duncan let go of their thumbs that were blocking the bottle, and the champagne poured directly onto Popovich.

Before the old man understood what was going on, he was already wet in an instant...

"Coach, congratulations on winning the best head coach."

Tang Tian's reaction was relatively quick, and he said directly and quickly.

The teammates behind him also whistled and applauded.

Only then did Popovich realize what he was doing.

"Whose idea?"

He walked into the locker room, but with a straight face, looking a little angry.

The locker room fell silent.

Is this overkill?

It seems a bit, although Popovich is usually very close to them, but after all, this is not a special occasion like winning the championship.

No one spoke, and since it was done, the team members were ready to bear the burden.

Dio was about to speak at this moment.

"Remember to use red wine next time you do this kind of thing, I like that taste better."

But Popovich suddenly said with a smile the next second.

This old man is not angry at all, he is teasing them!

237+ Chapter [-] The next contract has been settled (two in one chapter)

When Popovich spoke, the atmosphere in the locker room became relaxed again.

Although he is getting older, Popovich is still so skinny.

Popovich looked back at Duncan at this time, with a strange look in his eyes.

Duncan turned his head in embarrassment. This was probably the first time in his career that he was shy.

The current alliance is not like it was later, there is a special awards ceremony, and the alliance will announce the results of some awards at regular intervals.

This time, in addition to announcing the best coach, it also announced the ownership of the best defensive player and the most improved award.

Tyson Chandler finally ended Dwight Howard's three consecutive reigns over the best defensive player, and also defeated Ibaka, who had an eye-catching performance this season, to win this award for the first time in his career.

It's very interesting to say that he didn't win the Mavericks' championship season last year, but he won the Knicks right away.

But this season he's made an immediate difference to the Knicks' defense.

The Knicks rank second in the league in forcing turnovers, 2th in field goal percentage and 10th in points allowed.

This is in stark contrast to last season's Knicks defense.

Chandler deserved this award.

"Serge is more worthy of the best defensive player. You can't deny him just because he has done so well in the past."

"Twitter giant" Durant complained for Ibaka in the first place.

Although Ibaka's scoring and rebounding averages are not as good as Chandler's this season, he averages 3.7 blocks per game, making him the league's leader in blocks.

There is nothing wrong with Durant's fight against injustice this time.

However, Chandler's score of 311 points is only 294 points more than Ibaka's 17 points. Anyone who wins the award is justified. It can only be said that Chandler has better luck.

The ownership of the best defensive player is controversial, but it is relatively small. The results of the Most Improved Award really attracted a lot of saliva.

The award was eventually picked up by Ryan Anderson of the Magic.

He averaged 16.1 points and 7.7 rebounds per game this season, a significant improvement from last season's 10.6 points and 5.5 rebounds.

He also got 24% of the vote.

The Most Improved Award is highly competitive this year, and it is well deserved. In theory, there will not be so much saliva.

But the problem was with someone else.

Jeremy Lin.

To say that the Knicks can advance to the playoffs this season as the seventh in the Eastern Conference, apart from Chandler's joining, the person who should be most grateful is Jeremy Lin.

Because of consecutive injuries, the Knicks were once unavailable at the back line.

Jeremy Lin, who was on the verge of being laid off, suddenly emerged at this time, and staged the "Linsanity" that shocked everyone and once swept the world.

It is no exaggeration to say that Jeremy Lin is more popular than Tang Tian this season.

上赛季在勇士2.6分1.2篮板1.4助攻，这赛季在尼克斯场均14.6分3.1篮板6.2助攻。

If you really want to count, Jeremy Lin should be the winner of the Most Improved Award.

But as a result, he only got 8.39% of the votes in the Most Improved Award, ranking sixth among all players.

"This is the most incredible poll I've ever seen, man, he started Linsanity! Now you're telling me he's sixth?"

"This result is true. Although considering his number of appearances and his defensive disadvantages, sixth is too..."

"I remember that the league pushed him before, thinking that he was the best candidate for the Most Improved Award, but now this is the result?"

"Perhaps an early consolation prize?"

"Hey! You have to understand that the votes are selected by media reporters, not designated by the league."

"Are these journalists all for nothing? Or do they make decisions with their asses?"

"They obviously use their brains, buddy, it's just that you don't understand. You probably haven't noticed that Anderson is white, and Jeremy Lin is yellow."

"The second Ilyasova is also white, and the third Pekovic... Even though they are not white in the United States, but man, you probably have the key to the problem."

"This is a sensitive topic, stop discussing it!"

"It's not fair, sports competition should not be mixed with these elements!"

"Now you have to greet those reporters. Although I don't want to admit it, how many of them do you think think highly of a yellow man?"

"It really makes people angry!! ┻━┻︵╰(‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻"

"I'm a little worried about the godfather now. He performed so well, will he also suffer the same treatment in the selection of the best rookie?"

"It is very possible that although Irving's performance is outstanding among rookies this year, considering that Tang is in the Spurs, he should also be competitive, but Lin's treatment makes people have to worry."

……

No one dared to bring up the racist word explicitly, but the talk was pretty close.

Even for Yao Ming back then, the whistle problem he encountered in the league was obvious.

Even TNT commentator Steve Kerr has used discriminatory language in commentary.

The fans were very excited, but Tang Tian was very calm.

The United States is different from China. There is indeed a problem of discrimination here, but in the final analysis, the strong are respected.

Not to mention Cole, O'Neal also said "Toy-inchee" to Yao Ming.

But what happened later?

Cole publicly apologized, O'Neill became a famous Yao Ming, and cherished each other with Yao Ming.

The most fundamental reason is that Yao Ming conquered Cole and O'Neal with his strength, and also conquered American fans.

It may be more difficult to be yellow, but if one day he can dominate the league like Michael Jordan, even the homeless on the street will have a lot of respect for him.

This is America.

Game [-] of the Spurs-Mavericks series continues in San Antonio.

This time the Spurs didn't give the Mavericks a chance at the beginning of the game. After they opened up the space on the offensive end, they frequently hit the basket.

The Mavericks' collapse was the same as in the second half of the first game, starting from the inside collapse.

In the end, the Spurs beat the Mavericks 108 to 91 at home, and then turned the big score into 2-0 after another victory.

Terry's off-the-board tricks didn't work.

After the two games were over, the two sides moved to Dallas to continue the next two games of the series.

There are many playoff games where 0 to 2 came back. Terry continued to cheer for the team in front of the media before the game.

"I've been through this in my career, it's not a problem at all, we go home, we forget the first two games, the series is just getting started for us here."

Terry's mouth is still a bit big, but with the rise of Tang Tian, ​​Ginobili's comeback, and the addition of Dior, the Spurs' offensive and defensive balance is much stronger than he thought.

Although the Mavericks played tenaciously at home, they still lost 93 to 105.

Carlisle has made adjustments in this game. Yi Jianlian, who didn't get a chance to play in the first two games, missed most of Heywood's playing time in this game. He also hit a three-pointer and played well on the defensive end. He played in 1 minutes Time scored 10 points, 5 rebounds and 3 block.

However, the strength gap between the two teams cannot be changed by changing role players.

For the defending champions, the score of 0 to 3 speaks for itself. They are going to follow in the footsteps of the Heat.

NBA历史上，自从实现7场4胜制以来，一共出现过14次0比2翻盘，8次出现1比3逆转。

But there has never been a team that has come back from 0 to 3.

To put it bluntly, a reversal from 0 to 3 means three consecutive losses followed by four consecutive victories.

Since it can win four games in a row, why will it lose three games in a row?

This is the playoffs, unless the opponent's core is injured, otherwise the probability of this event happening is very small.

The Mavericks' elimination is basically a certainty.

Terry didn't open his mouth again this time.

As a team on the brink of elimination, every player will have a lot of pressure inside.

Not to mention they are still the defending champions.

"This is the best team in the league, and I believe they can do it."

Only owner Mark Cuban still maintains confidence in the team.

As the owner of one of the most basketball-loving players in the league, his confidence has never been less.

This, you can see from his clothes.

On home game day, he puts on his blue Mavericks T-shirt.

It was the jersey that he thought would bring luck to the home team.

When he gave his championship speech last year, he also said that this jersey brought them luck.

He also wore it tonight, and brought his most precious and precious daughter to the scene.

The fans in Dallas are still enthusiastic. Among the top three in Texas, the fans here are the most enthusiastic and hardcore.

Carlisle made some changes in the starting lineup tonight, and he put Mahinmi directly in the starting lineup.

Heywood didn't play well in the first few games, but Mahinmi performed well, and this is an active change.

Mahinmi's movement speed and scoring ability are stronger than Heywood's. Carlisle's adjustment is ready to play offense with the Spurs.
