Godfather of the NBA: Cutting Curry and creating a dynasty

Earlier this season, the Clippers signed Shane Battier, which was a very important signing.

As we all know, Battier is a very mature wing 3D player.

At the same time, his physical fitness is very outstanding, and he can completely top the No. 4 position.

Speaking of it, his role positioning is very similar to that of Pickled Pepper in the early days.

This is one of the reasons why Yang Li wants to get him to the Clippers.

Battier, together with Artetus, two flanks to defend the gate, the biggest role in the Clippers is to pass and lead.

Pickled Pepper, Xiaoka, Butler, these three will be the top wing players in the future.

If you want to grow up quickly, in addition to having a professional training team, you must also need experienced seniors to guide them.

Battier and Artest are the two teachers who are most suitable for them in the league.

One is the Kakashisen race and the other is the Kaisen race.

However, in the Heat team in the previous life, Battier who joined in the 11-12 season was definitely a very important member.

Battier's most outstanding round of the series is the finals!

It is no exaggeration to say that Battier in the finals is the fourth person who contributed the most to the team besides the Big Three.

Yang Li snatched him away, but it really took away a big tube of blood from the Heat.

The Heat's opponent in the second round of the series is the Indiana Pacers.

In the first game against the Pacers, the Heat easily won the game and took a 1-0 lead.

However, there is another sad news.

Bosh suffered an abdominal strain late in the game and missed the remaining six games of the series.

Yang Li also felt dazed when he heard the news.

Dude, do it all over again, Bosh is still injured?

Because of Bosh's absence, the Heat played very hard.

In the previous life, after Bosh was injured, Battier acted as a firefighter and replaced Bosh to do a lot of defensive work.

In this round of the series, Battier averaged 29.3 minutes per game, second only to James, Wade and the main point guard Chalmers.

Although Battier averaged only 3.8 points per game, it was because he put all his energy on the defensive end.

Battier filled the void left by Bosh and fended off David West's offensive firepower.

In the end, relying on the outstanding performance of James and Wade, the Heat defeated the Pacers in the tiebreaker.

Of course, there is another important reason for winning. Yang Li not only drew blood from the Heat, but also from the Pacers.

In 2010, Yang Li cut off Paul George, making the Pacers have to retreat and choose Aminu.

Aminu also averaged 6.7 points and 4.5 rebounds per game this year. As a sophomore, his performance is quite satisfactory.

But compared to Paul George's outstanding performance of 12.1 points and 5.6 rebounds in his previous life, Aminu is not enough.

This year, Yang Li grabbed Leonard again and did not let the Pacers get George Hill.

But the good thing is that the Pacers used this pick to draft Marcus Morris.

Together, Aminu and Morris can catch up with a Paul George.

But the lack of George Hill is indeed a flaw, so it is reasonable not to have played the Heat.

Another set of matchups in the Western Conference semifinals also reached the tiebreaker.

In the end, the Los Angeles Lakers were superior and eliminated the San Antonio Spurs.

Kobe has played in countless conference finals, and he has long been used to it.

But Paul is very excited, because this is the first time he has touched the floor of the Western Conference Finals since entering the NBA!

183 The masked man can safely and boldly tear off his mask this time, and walk into the Western Conference Finals with his head held high.

Before the start of the conference finals, the NBA officially announced the results of the MVP voting.

Stephen Curry was successfully elected, this is the first time in his personal career to win the mvp trophy.

Ranked second and third are LeBron James and Kevin Durant, respectively.

This result obviously exceeded the expectations of most fans.

But the reason given by the NBA official is very sufficient.

In terms of statistics, Curry is indeed not as good as James and Durant, but the Clippers' record this year is really good.

54 wins and 12 losses, with a winning rate of 81.8%.

In the absence of the main center and last season's +fmvp Yao Yao, Curry led the team to the league's first record.

Compared with last year's mvp Rose, Curry performed better this year and led the team better.

Therefore, this mvp trophy was given to Curry, which fully meets the selection criteria.

This result really made Yang Li unexpected, he thought that this mvp would still belong to James.

But after thinking about it, the hook has not yet started sponsoring the league, and the president is still David Stern, which seems reasonable.

According to the logic that last year's mvp was Rose, this year's mvp should be Curry!

This year's best coach was naturally given to Yang Li.

The results of leading the team are here, and Yang Lizhen can't justify not giving it to Yang Lizhen.

The best general manager was given to Kupchak.

Because he was the one who made the deal that stunned the league for Paul this year.

The deal was a great success.

Last season, they were swept out by the Los Angeles Clippers in the second round, and this year they went directly to the Western Conference Finals.

In the Western Conference Finals, their opponent was the Los Angeles Clippers that swept them.

This year's Western Conference Finals is also a battle of revenge for the Lakers.

On May 5, the two teams ushered in their first match.

This year's Western Conference Finals Los Angeles Derby detonated the global audience.

Before the first game started, the ratings were already about to break the nba single-game ratings record.

After this round of the series is over, the ratings will definitely hit a new high.

The first is the starting lineup of both sides:

The starting lineup for the Lakers is:

Center: Andrew Bynum.

Power Forward: Pau Gasol.

Small Forward: Matt Barnes.

Shooting guard: Kobe Bryant.

Point guard: Chris Paul.

For the Clippers, the starting lineup is slightly inferior to that of the Lakers:

Center: Hassan Whiteside.

Power forward: Paul Millsap.

Small forward: Paul George.

Shooting guard: James Harden.

Point guard: Stephen Curry.

In the entire starting lineup, only the striker is slightly stronger than the Lakers.

The two guards are slightly inferior to the Lakers.

Needless to say, the center position, Bynum is the center of the second team this year.

Compared with Da Baibian, a first-year NBA rookie, Bynum's advantage is too great.

At the beginning of the first quarter, the Lakers wisely chose to focus on the inside.
