Legend of Tomorrow

In the second game between the two sides, the Lakers' fast break was not as good as that of the Suns, and their triangle offense was also slightly inferior. They fell behind by 17 points at halftime.

In the third quarter, Stoudemire and Guo Xu used the pick-and-roll to show their strength. Guo Xu rushed to the baseline again and again to attract double-teams. He passed the ball to Stoudemire in the middle to dunk or rely on the opponent to force a shot from close range.

Stoudemire has recovered the best among players who have undergone minimally invasive knee surgery. He still has super explosive power. Even Bogut can't block his shots because the bounce speed is not fast enough.

The Suns entered the final quarter with a 30-point lead. Both sides sent substitutes to compete. Jordan played the entire quarter as center and happily grabbed 8 rebounds. He finished with 4 points, 12 rebounds and 2 blocks.

After the game, experts predicted that the Lakers would also be swept out by the Suns. This is relatively cruel. The two teams are in the same division and have played eight games in a season.

The next day, Guo Xu made the headlines, and the results of the regular season awards were released. Guo Xu won the regular season MVP, the most important personal honor for a player, and was elected for the fifth time in his career.

He averaged 34.4 minutes per game, 23 points, 3.2 rebounds, 15 assists and 2.1 steals, shooting 50.6% from the field, 44.4% from the three-point range, and 91.1% from the free throw line.

His shooting percentage once again entered the 180 Club, ranking first in efficiency value of 31.4, slightly better than James's 31.1.

He ranks tenth in points per game, first in assists, third in steals, first in the league in three-pointers made at 3.6 per game, third in three-point field goal percentage, and first in the league in true shooting percentage of 65.6%.

Guo Xu's high-end statistics are always outstanding. Only four outside players are in the top ten in true shooting percentage. The other three are Ray Allen, Nash, and Calderon.

LeBron James' statistics are also very good, averaging 28.4 points, 7 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game, but his scoring efficiency is not as good as Guo Xu's, and his record is not as good as Guo Xu's. The league cannot award him the MVP.

If you give the MVP to someone else this year, 6 billion pot secrets will be angry.

Is it still called the MVP award if it doesn’t go to the best player? In 2007, when the Suns achieved the best record in history, Guo Xu did not have five consecutive games. Fans said that the league gave James one, and they did not dare to give another one.

Guo Xu leads the All-NBA first team, and the other four are Wade, James, Stoudemire, and Dwight Howard.

Best second team: Paul, Roy, Pierce, Duncan, Yao Ming.

Best third team: Billups, Joe Johnson, Bosh, Nowitzki, O'Neal.

How fierce is the competition for the best player team this year? The Spurs, ranked third in the Western Conference,

Parker was not selected with 20+7, and Kobe, who ranked second in the scoring list, was not selected. The team's record was too poor.

The Grizzlies' two major insiders and the Hawks' Nash have good statistics and a good record, but they were not selected.

The Nuggets' Carmelo Anthony entered the playoffs, averaging 23.1 points, 6.8 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game. He failed to make the third team because the selection was based on position and there were too many forwards with good records.

O'Neal missed out and was selected for the All-NBA Third Team. In fact, Al Jefferson's data is more qualified to be selected, and the Timberwolves' record is better. It's a pity that this is a world based on appearance. When the judges think of Jefferson's image, they treat him as if he doesn't exist. The same is true when selecting All-Stars.

The best team is also somewhat controversial. Wade scored the best data of his career, but the Heat failed to make the playoffs. The reason why he was selected to the first team was that his efficiency value was as high as 30.4, ranking third in the league.

The two guards in the first team have stronger statistics, and Paul, with an efficiency value of 30, can only be selected for the second team.

Kobe's failure to even be selected for the third team was directly related to his low efficiency. With a very high possession of the ball, his efficiency value ranks only eighth in the league, 24.4.

The best defensive player went to Dwight Howard, and he deserved it. Not only did he have excellent defensive statistics, he could also guard the penalty area.

The other four players on the All-Defensive Team are Rajon Rondo, James, Artest, and Garnett.

Defensive second team: Chris Paul, Wade, Prince, Varejao, Duncan.

The defensive lineup has always been controversial. For example, Spurs veteran Bruce Bowen was selected for the first team last season.

What was Bowen's level last season? He averaged 30 minutes per game, scoring 6 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.3 blocks. His footwork was extremely slow, but in the judges' impression he defended well, so he was selected.

Battier, who was a famous 3D player in Guo Xu's previous life, received a much lower rating on the defensive end because he was not well-known on the defensive end and was a substitute for the Lakers.

As for the Celtics' backup shooting guard and the real defensive slugger Tony Allen, everyone still doesn't know him. Who is that?

To put it bluntly, the defensive lineup is a flow of impressions. Paul and Wade, who did not make the playoffs, were selected for the second defensive team. The Suns, which had the best record, had no one selected, which caused dissatisfaction among many fans.

In fact, this is normal. The Suns lost a lot of points as a whole and relied on offense to kill their opponents. Moreover, their regular season record is so terrible that it affects the competitiveness of the league. For the sake of balance, the president hopes to divide the award into one point as an incentive to other players.

The best rookie is Bulls point guard Derrick Rose. Although he did not make the playoffs, his statistics are very good, averaging 16.8 points, 4 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game.

It is worth mentioning that Rose also received the nickname Luo Buchuan from Chinese fans this season because he rarely passes the ball to power forward teammate Yi Jianlian.

No one from the Suns was selected to the All-Rookie Team, and the data is not good enough. Ten players in both lineups averaged double figures in points per game, making 2008 a great year for the draft.

Love averaged 11.8 points and 10.2 rebounds per game, and Eric Gordon only made the second team with 16 points and 2.8 assists. This shows how strong the rookies are.

The Best Sixth Man Award was won by Jason Terry of the Mavericks. He averaged 2.3 three-pointers per game. His overall shooting percentage was lower than Ellis's, but he was actually more efficient in scoring.

The Most Improved Player award went to Ramon Sessions of the Bucks, who averaged 14 points and 5.1 assists per game. He was a pick a few picks after the second round last season. After the Bucks sent away Mo Williams, he became the team's starting point guard.

The Best Coach Award went to Mike Brown of the Cavaliers. Under his coaching, the Cavaliers won the first record in the Eastern Conference. If Guo Xu wins the MVP, D'Antoni will have no chance of being elected as the best coach for the third time. This is also for the sake of balance.

Guo Xu held a press conference and said that he was very happy and hoped to receive more honors in the future.

Regular season MVP and Finals MVP are the highest honors star players desire. Generally speaking, regular season MVP winners have higher gold content because they are the core of a strong team and have a good record leading the team. The FMVP is usually a member of the championship team, but it may not be the strongest player in the league, such as the FMVP won by Leonard and Iguodala.

Jordan won a total of 5 regular season MVP trophies in his career, namely in 1988, 1991, 1992, 1996, and 1998. Guo Xu was only 28 years old on November 24 this year. This honor tied him with Jordan, who retired for the second time.

The only player ahead of Guo Xu is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. He has won 6 regular season MVPs. However, the selection criteria in that era were different from today. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar won the MVP even if he did not make the playoffs.

The third game of the Suns VS Lakers was held at Staples Arena. The Suns only won by 12 points. The Lakers players defended well, but their own offense had problems. Joe Johnson and Ellis both became blacksmiths. It didn't help that Odom had an eye-catching performance with 20 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists.

The news headlines of the day came from another series. The Rockets' result touched the hearts of Chinese fans because the core insider Yao Ming was injured and ended the season.

Yao Ming sprained his ankle halfway through the third game. The injury has been diagnosed as a fracture in his left foot, and he can only rest in the playoffs.
