Add one, I'm not very good at fighting

When Carter is mentioned in the future, no one will ever tease him with words like "one second team, one third team".

In the final fmvp announcement session, fans were guessing whether the winner would be Carter or Yao Ming.These two people can be said to be qualified to take this fmvp.

Yao Ming's performance in the entire series was very stable, and he beat the Mavericks with no strength to fight back.

And Carter's three-point lore in Tianwangshan is indeed a big plus, and it is indispensable.

In the end, Yao Ming narrowly defeated Carter by 1 vote and lifted the 2006 Finals MVP trophy.

And this is the fourth consecutive year that fmvp has been arranged by Chinese players.

For four consecutive years, there have been no domestic players in the United States.

The person who won the championship seems to have changed, but it seems that it has not changed at all.

NBA is completely ruled by Chinese players!

Watching Yao Ming lift the trophy, watching the Chicago Bulls reach the top of the league again.

Derek Rose, a local basketball star in Chicago, was not very excited.

He turned off the TV and looked at the No. 1 Suns jersey hanging on the wall of his room.

What happened to that guy?

Rose picked up the phone and called Li Ang.

But it was still the same, for several days in a row, Li Ang's phone was still turned off.

Rose sighed as he recalled the litany of events that had happened to the Suns this season.

He really doesn't feel much about the Bulls winning the championship. The only thing he wants to see now is to see that guy come back as soon as possible!

In competitive sports, it is not easy to keep winning.

Although he had already made mental preparations, when Li Ang saw Yao Ming holding up the championship trophy on the TV, he still let out a long sigh.

Yao Ming's victory was the last consolation for Li Ang.

At least Li Ang didn't dislike the person who climbed to the top.

Seeing this, Li Ang picked up his phone.After turning on the phone, I ignored n missed calls and sent a text message congratulating Yao Ming and Carter on winning the championship.

Then, he turned off the phone again.

During this time, Li Ang was too lazy to communicate with the outside world.

After all... the feeling of suddenly falling from the top is really not good.

A year ago, before the start of the 05-06 season, people were full of expectations for this Suns team.

Although Jon Jonson and Richardson are gone, the fans believe that as long as the iron triangle of Li Ang, Nash and Jermaine O'Neill is still there, the Suns will still be a championship team.

All of Phoenix is ​​looking to the Suns to build a three-peat dynasty.

Li Ang's personal three-peat has been achieved, but the sun has not yet.

Not only the fans, but Li Ang himself is also looking forward to this season, because as long as he wins another championship, he will be able to unlock the Jordan copy.

As long as he wins another championship, Li Ang can seriously establish a dynasty in the same team.

After Li Ang's three consecutive championships, many people do not recognize this as a dynasty.

If they win the championship again this season, those sunspots will have nothing to say.

In anticipation of the fans, the Suns embarked on the journey of the new season.

In the first three games of the new season, the Suns had a three-game winning streak.

But the bad news appeared in the fourth game. Stoudemire suffered cartilage damage during the game and needed minimally invasive knee surgery. He is not expected to return until after the All-Star break.

After Jijisen, the Suns won the championship last season, which is equivalent to two missing.

But at that time, Li Ang still felt that this was nothing.

Anyway, Stoudemire came back after the All-Stars. Before that, he, Nash and Xiao Ao should be able to withstand it!

Li Ang might be able to withstand it, but Xiao Ao couldn't.

Because of Stoudemire's absence, Xiao Ao's pressure on the defensive end is very high this season.

He has to take care of defense and protect the basket.

On the offensive end, without the help of Stoudemire to share the pressure, Ao also played harder than before.

His playing time has increased, and he has done more work, which naturally consumes more.

A week before the All-Star Game, when the Suns team doctor evaluated Xiao Ao's body, he suggested that he take a period of rest.

But when the qualifying battle between the Suns and the Mavericks and Spurs was at a critical moment, Jermaine O'Neal was unwilling to give up.

And so, it happened.

In a game before the All-Star Game, Jermaine O'Neal suddenly fell to the ground clutching his knees while grabbing a rebound.

At that time, he still wanted to get up and continue the game, but after getting up, he felt that his knees were not working hard, and he even limped when he walked.

In the end, he was supported by Li Ang and Nash into the player tunnel.

The injury report after the game was chilling. O'Neal's left knee meniscus was damaged and surgery was required.

This means that O'Neal's 05-06 season ended early!

At the same time, there was another bad news-Stoudemire, who was originally going to return after the All-Star Game, has now become an indefinite truce because his recovery is not as good as expected.

The meaning of an indefinite truce is what the Suns doctor said to the team: "Amare will most likely not be able to return this season!"

It is true that the Suns have miracle doctors, but no matter how godly the doctor is, it is impossible for a team to completely eliminate injuries.

This is the same as driving, no matter how old the old driver is, accidents happen.

No matter how serious the author is, there are times when the pictures are deleted.

These things are hard to avoid.

Just like that, Li Ang and Nash looked at each other in blank dismay.

This Nima...

Fighting and fighting, how come all the teammates are gone! ?

After a quick operation, the starting five of the Suns who won the championship last season, now only Li Ang and Nash are left.

I'm afraid this basketball game is a bit exhausting.

Then, the Suns' starting lineup became: Nash, Raja Bell, Leon, Haslem and Kurt Thomas.

This leads to a problem, the offense that the Suns depend on for survival is not so sharp.

Kurt Thomas and Haslem are a type of players, they both belong to the blue-collar insiders with excellent defensive ability and tough style, but no independent offensive ability.

Their scoring ability is really urgent. Although they can occasionally steal a few by relying on mid-range shots, their offensive stability and range cannot meet the needs of seven-second offense at all.

Not only the seven-second offense, but also the V-shaped pick-and-roll can't be played.

If you want to play a V-shaped pick-and-roll well, you have to be like Stoudemire or Jermaine O'Neill, who can quickly roll down after the pick-and-roll, and can forcefully end the inside line of the offense.

Haslem and Thomas are good at ending others' offenses, but their own ability to end offenses is very urgent.

Like some people, belonging can only be endured but not attacked.

So in the few games after the All-Star Game, the Suns' offense was in a mess, and basically they could only rely on the personal abilities of Nash and Leon to solve the problem.

During that time, Li Ang also scored 40+ points in a row, but whenever Li Ang's score did not reach 40 in a game, the news in the newspaper would become "Li Ang 'only' scored 36 points".

The key point is that with so many points, Li Anghong may not necessarily win the game, which is very fucking.

No way, Jr. Colangino could only urgently trade Tim Thomas from the Knicks before the trade deadline as a supplement to the team's fourth position.

For this, the Suns paid the price of Nate Robinson and some extras from a trim trade.

After Little Tudou left, the Suns locker room also lost a pistachio, which made the already serious and depressing atmosphere of the Suns this season even more depressing.

Tim Thomas, as a firefighter who joined in the mid-term, fits the Suns' offensive requirements very well.

As a power forward, he has a good three-pointer. This season, he made 40% of his three-pointers!

But after playing for a while, everyone found that Tim Thomas couldn't change the Suns' plight.

Tim Thomas is pretty much nothing but [-]-pointers.

As the saying goes, too many skills don't overwhelm you.

Don't look at Thomas' 40% three-point shooting rate, which is very good-looking, but they are basically wide-open goals.

What the hell, how many super wide open spots can you shoot in a game?

As a woman, you can probably be anything but good looking.After all, no matter how good the job is and how rich the posture is, it is useless to be ugly.

But men can't do it. You don't even have a lot of tricks when you walk the rivers and lakes.

When Stoudemire was around, in addition to being able to shoot, he could also play with the ball by himself, and he could also eat cakes along the way, inside and out.

And Tim Thomas is basically an anti-aircraft turret, averaging half of his shots per game from outside the three-point line.

As for the end of the roll after the V-shaped pick-and-roll, Tim Thomas can't do it.

And Tim Thomas' defense was a disaster.

Stoudemire's defense has been trained by Mr. Tang for so many years, not to mention reaching the top level of the league, at least it is above the average level.

Stoudemire's poor defense in history is because he didn't play well from a young age.

And in this history, once Master Tang corrected his foundation and trained him from a young age, the effect came out.

But Tim Thomas is different. He has already passed the age of laying the foundation.

It's too late to train now!

Whether it is his defensive awareness, defensive enthusiasm or his own physical condition, he is not enough to make him a defender above the level.

Therefore, in addition to occasionally hitting open three-pointers in the Suns, he is not as easy to use as Haslem.

At least if Erhu has something to do, he will really go to it.

If a championship team wants to change the status quo, it really cannot be achieved with a few leftovers.

In the original history, the Lakers' robbery deal with the Spanish sister-in-law was just an example after all.

In this way, under the leadership of Li Ang and Nash, the Suns won 58 wins in the regular season and entered the playoffs as the third place in the Western Conference.

In fact, according to the original historical rules, the Suns should be ranked second in the West.

Although before the Suns, the top two with the best record in the Western Conference were the 68-win Mavericks and the 63-win Spurs.

But the original historical nba ranking rules are different from now.

In the original history, the two divisions of the NBA, East and West, were each divided into three small divisions, and No.3 in each division was the top three in each division.

Therefore, although the Mavericks won 06 wins in 60, because the Spurs are No. 1 in the Southwest Division, even with 60 wins, they can only rank second in the Southwest Division.

At that time, the Suns were No.1 in the Pacific Division, so according to the principle of the top position in the division, the Mavericks could only rank fourth after the Spurs, Suns and Nuggets.

It's funny enough that the 60-win Mavericks are behind the 44-win Nuggets.

Therefore, in the summer of 06, the league changed the rules, and the rankings are based purely on the record, regardless of the competition area.

In this history, because the Mavericks formed the whole-wheat toast combination last season and had an excellent record, Stern considered the possibility of a higher record but a lower ranking, so he changed the ranking one year in advance. bit rules.

Since the beginning of this season, the nba has been ranked purely based on record.

Therefore, the Suns can only rank third with 58 wins.

With the playoffs approaching, many people began to bad-mouth the prospects of the Suns.

Li Ang's pursuit of Jordan began to be hindered. Many people who didn't like Li Ang took the opportunity to jump out and said that Li Ang's three consecutive championships before was a bonus from his teammates.

No, once the teammates fail, they will immediately reveal their true colors.

A true goat will not lose his record because his teammates are not good enough!

Although this season's regular season, Li Ang averaged 33.7 points per game, second only to Kobe, ranking second in the league's scoring list.

Although this season's regular season, Li Ang played 22 times of 40+, 5 times of 50+, and 1 time of 60+, his performance in all aspects is not bad compared to last season.

Besides, being third in the Western Conference with 58 wins is not bad.

In some seasons, 58 wins can even be the first in the division.
