I'm really good at shooting.

So Sun Hao made a bet with Nowitzki every day.

"If you are the MVP, you will move the secret base and your Holger to Dallas. We will change the training camp here. It will not be called the evolution cabin, but the evolution home!"

Although I don't know why he has to train with Sun Hao after winning the MVP.

However, since they all got the MVP, those details are not important.

He agreed.

Then, on this day, the league announced the final results of the MVP.

Nowitzki won 32.1% of the votes, defeated Duncan with 31.09%, and was elected as the MVP of the regular season in the 2002~2003 season by a very small margin!

This win is not a thrill, but a heartbeat!

San Antonio fans were offended.

You made my regular season champion, you made our MVP, and maybe even our... championship?

At this moment, a guy with an expressionless face made a "meow meow" expression.

Sun Hao was happy when he won the bet, but Nowitzki was even happier when he won the MVP.

Because of his appearance, Nowitzki's fate is much better than in history.

Nowitzki in history was overturned in 06, and was hacked for winning the MVP in 07, if it wasn't for 2011, he was a god.

As one of the top three power forwards in history, his career can only be described as miserable.

But now because of Sun Hao's appearance, history has changed.

In the fifth year of his career, Nowitzki won the regular season MVP!

It's completely impossible for Hei Ba or something. Apart from this MVP, he still has a chance to compete for the championship!

The future looks bright!

The fans of the old driver feel that they are all comfortable.

And this day also happens to be Sun Hao's birthday!

Back in the locker room after training, the Mavericks put Sun Hao's head in the cake, and prepared one for Nowitzki by the way.

As a result, the newly promoted "Splash Brothers" directly became Cake Brothers.

But, happy!

And Nowitzki is also preparing to receive the MVP trophy on the spot in the opening game of the Western Conference Finals, which will be an inspiring moment for the Mavericks.

Everything is developing in a good direction.

Two days later, the curtain of the regional finals officially kicked off.

Because there are only four teams left facing each other in two groups, the game has become an alternate mode.

The first day started with the game between the Wizards and the Nets.

The game attracted a lot of attention, and the result was unexpected.

In the first game of the Eastern Conference finals, the Wizards lost to the Nets 83 to 88.

The defense of this Nets team has been seriously underestimated.

In fact, the Nets this year in history are also a great defensive team. Their opponent in the Eastern Conference Finals is the Pistons.

That Pistons team wasn't the current one. That Pistons team already had four of the future five, except for Rasheed Wallace.

And the head coach of the Pistons was Carlisle, a well-known tactical master.

But it was such a team that was swept out 0-4 against the Nets.

Even looking a little further, the Nets also swept the Celtics to enter the Eastern Conference Finals.

The two labels of team and defense, the Nets have taken it to the extreme.

So in Sun Hao's opinion, the result of this match is not too surprising.

Although because of the potential hidden mission of [God's Inheritance], he also hopes that the Wizards can finally reach the finals.

But the Wizards really want to do this, and the difficulty they face is much greater than when they played the Celtics before.

Of course, he didn't pay much attention to that side, because their opponents in the Western Conference finals, the Spurs, also had the same level of defense as the Nets.

Especially the growth of Parker and Jackson, plus Ginobili, the sixth man who entered the league a year earlier.

The difficulty they face is also greater than when they played the Lakers.

But the fans didn't know this. The National Airline Center Arena on this day was already full of attendance.

Little Curry also came to the scene again.

As for whether he was coerced to come here because he missed the brightest moment of his father's career, or he came here to see Sun Hao, it is not known.

In the eyes of most fans, the Spurs, an opponent who was overthrown by him last year, can still jump?

Popovich, really ready to jump.

The two teams warmed up on the field before the game, and the reporter interviewed Popovich on the sidelines.

When asked what he thinks of the Mavericks, an old opponent who has become stronger, his answer is the same as that of the old Nelson before, full of saliva.

"In order to survive, the antelope has sharpened its horns, so will the lion be afraid?"

And he brought out his lion-antelope theory again, with the same provocative meaning in his words.

Although old Nelson's previous words were fabricated out of thin air, he actually knew Popovich very well.

Just because you don't say it doesn't mean you don't think so.

Popovich's words are actually equivalent to confirming what the old Nelson said before.

"A person's luck is good once, and it is very difficult to get better a second time."

And Popovich responded directly to Nelson's words by the way.

The good words between the two old guys added a lot of gunpowder to the Western Conference Finals, which had already attracted much attention.

Many fans even recalled the previous grievances between the two teams. Porter injured Sun Hao, Ferry injured Nowitzki, Sun Hao crippled Ferry, Bowen tried to step Sun Hao and was crippled...

The two teams are old enemies full of grievances!

Just like Germany and France, they are fighting every year, and they are so close, either I will kill you, or you will kill me, a proper feud!

Of course, this time it is obviously the Dallas people who have the upper hand.

Playing at home, and... well, there's an MVP award ceremony before the game.

League president David Stern was on hand.

His face was full of smiles.

If you want to ask him how the MVP is given to Nowitzki and the Mavericks, he must be happy.

The direction that Stern has been working on is to promote the NBA to the world.

And to do this, the most important thing for the game is to watch.

Just like movies, no matter how classic a boring movie is, its audience will not be too big.

This is why Marvel movies will be so popular in the future.

As far as the basketball game is concerned, it is naturally an offensive game, which is better than a defensive game.

So in terms of tendency, he is naturally inclined to attacking teams.

However, he will not blindly pursue offense, and he still understands the word too much.

If the blind pursuit of offense really turns an NBA game into an exhibition game, then it will definitely not work.

So how to balance offense and defense is a deep but critical knowledge.

Just like the current Mavericks, the offensive and defensive balance, full of viewing, is his favorite type.

But if you want to ask him if there is any shady scene in this MVP selection, then his answer is definitely not.

This is the result of the media evaluation, how could there be shady?

Under the attention of nearly [-] Dallas fans, Stern handed the MVP trophy, which represents the player's highest personal honor, to Nowitzki.

Nowitzki kissed the trophy, held it high above his head, and greeted him with cheers from his teammates and everyone on the scene.

This moment is the pinnacle of Nowitzki's career so far.

After the cheers fell, Nowitzki delivered his acceptance speech.

Perhaps influenced by Sun Hao's previous acceptance speeches, Nowitzki also came to thank Wulian.

He thanked everything from his family to the fans.

And he also specifically mentioned Duncan.

"Tim is a power forward at the same level as Mal Callon among the players I have played against. I need to work very hard to keep myself from being at a disadvantage. I respect and enjoy every match with him. bit."

Although the two teams became feuds, it did not affect the relationship between some players.

Just like between Sun Hao and O'Neal, and before Nowitzki and Duncan.

Sun Hao was also slightly touched after hearing this.

Both are the top three power forwards in history, but their styles are completely different. The playoff match between Duncan and Nowitzki actually lasted for a long time, and each time it was also very classic.

It's just that in this era at the beginning of the century, the swinging talents of the front and back are the most concerned.

He was still feeling emotional for Nowitzki's words, and the latter's next sentence wanted him to go on stage and kick this guy down.

"Now, it's time for us to welcome the first championship trophy that belongs to Dallas!"

This guy really doesn't have a long memory!

But don't say it, after saying something with personal feelings, the emotions of the fans at the scene were average.

But after the last sentence, the scene was already vibrating with cheers.

I have to say, this sentence is full of pride!

Of course, the Spurs will definitely not be happy.

Popovich had a dark face, and he was thinking about the championship before the series even started. This is really not taking the Spurs seriously!

He called the team together and said a word.

"Knock the shit out of them!"

This is really really pissed off.

After the opening ceremony, the two teams started to play one after another.

Mavericks, Sun Hao, Bell, Bodi Loga, Nowitzki, Dampier.

Spurs, Parker, Stephen Jackson, Bowen, Duncan, David Robinson.

Jackson is 2 meters tall. He is an all-around player. Although he does not have a signature one-handed trick, he belongs to the kind of player who can do everything and can play from the first position to the fourth position.

Of course, those positions are divided into several periods. During the Spurs period, his body was thin and he mainly played at the second position.

Accompanied by the cheers of the fans, Dampier continued his glory in the last round of the series, turning the ball back to the Spurs' half, giving the Mavericks the first chance to attack!

Sun Hao advanced to the frontcourt with the ball and stretched out his hand to make tactical gestures.

The Mavericks' streak of off-ball play ... didn't stand a chance.

The Spurs' defense has improved a lot.

Jackson's defense is underrated in this one.

At this time, he was thin and moved very fast. Coupled with his long arms, he was very good in single defense and cooperative defense.

Jackson has a bad temper and is a very standard thorn, but Popovich is willing to use him, which is not without reason.

Seeing that there was no chance, Sun Hao called Nowitzki to a high position and played the classic pick-and-roll between the two.

But after taking it apart, Duncan quickly jumped out, and Parker and Jackson quickly completed the defense change over there.

Sun Hao singled out Duncan, and it took a lot of effort to pass Duncan, but Parker switched back to him, and Duncan quickly returned to the basket to defend Nowitzki.

This burst of textbook-like help defense rotations prevented Sun Hao and Nowitzki from unsolvable pick-and-rolls.

In this year in history, the Spurs shot the Suns in the West, defeated the Lakers, overthrew the Mavericks, and finally broke the net to win the championship, relying entirely on hard power.
