Don't talk trash to him.

Chapter 179 Regular Season MVP Announced
During the battle between the Pacers and the Wizards, in Game 5 of the most focused matchup between the Nuggets and the Lakers in the first round of the Western Conference, Kobe's "double buzzer-beater" came as expected.

Originally, his "double buzzer beater" happened in Game 4 against the Suns. After the two "buzzer kills", they took a big lead of 3-1. Just when everyone thought that Kobe was going to stage a "black seven", the Suns won the next three games in a row and eliminated the Lakers with a big score of 3-4.

At this moment, you can't tell which is No. 8 for the Lakers and which is No. 1 for the Magic.

This "double buzzer beater" also became the last victory for No. 8 Kobe.

But this time, after Kobe's "double buzzer beater", the Lakers won Game 6 again, defeating the Nuggets 4-2.

The original Nuggets were ranked third in the Western Conference and lost to the sixth-ranked Clippers.

Now the team has changed, and the Allen Iverson trade has been brought forward, but…

They still couldn't escape the fate of being "overcome by the weak".

The fate of the "Golden Double Guns" seems to have been hinted at this.

The management of the Nuggets is quite weird. Allen Iverson and Carmelo Anthony want to use pure offense to defeat their opponents. If they fail to defeat their opponents, the Nuggets will collapse themselves.

But this style of play has been proven many times in the past that a single offense cannot win a championship.

Even though the record looked good during the regular season, when the playoffs came and the defense intensity increased, the Nuggets, whose offense was limited, could not find any other way to limit their opponents, especially in the sixth game of the series. With their backs against the abyss, everyone on the Nuggets was under a lot of pressure, and the offense was slow to open up. At this time, they had no other way but to continue to speed up the pace of offense, so they messed up the rhythm, and the Lakers eventually won the game effortlessly.

With the Lakers' victory, the top four teams in the Western Conference have been decided. The next round of the playoffs:
Lakers vs. Suns, Mavericks vs. Clippers.

Currently, both teams have finished the first two games, with the Mavericks leading the Clippers 2-2.

Although Brand was able to compete with Nowitzki, his teammates were not. The Clippers were killed twice by the Mavericks' outside shooting. In the second game, Brand scored 2 points and 31 rebounds, but he failed to help the team win even one game.

The Lakers and the Suns tied 1-1.

The Suns, who had been waiting for the Lakers for four or five days, easily won the first game of the series, but Kobe went crazy in the second game, and how to defend the crazy Kobe became a problem. With Kobe's performance of 34 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, the Lakers took away the home advantage from Phoenix.

Judging from the situation, there will be more upsets, and the Los Angeles media was overjoyed.

The Lakers fans, who had made the few Clippers fans angry for a whole season, can finally launch a crazy counterattack.

Things like "There are differences between the lower dogs and the lower dogs", "My background is the same as yours", "Your move is not as good as mine", and so on and so forth.

It's no wonder that the Lakers fans fought back so fiercely. This is the first time in so many years that the Clippers fans have shown their anger. They were not idle either, and vented all their emotions on Kupchak.

You are the general manager and you just do some work. Didn't you see what happened between Yao Ming and Houston? Why don't you step in and take the opportunity to bring Yao Ming here?

In fact, the Los Angeles media has already made an effort, criticizing the Houston media from various angles for "eating Yao Ming's food, wearing Yao Ming's clothes, and looking down on Yao Ming" in order to leave a good impression in Yao Ming's mind.

They are well aware of the current situation:

The pressure from the Houston media made it impossible for Yao Ming to agree to sign the contract with a pay cut, which would have made him a real "softie".

Such an image will definitely be criticized by domestic fans.

In fact, some domestic fans are already cursing.

There is nothing wrong with Yao Ming's humility, but Su Wan's attitude is too tough, which makes him look a bit awkward.

Under such circumstances, how could Yao Ming possibly give in to the Houston media?

The Los Angeles media is very clear about Alexander's character. He is the kind of boss who will not offer a maximum salary until the last minute.

The high probability is to match the contract offered by other teams.

Anyway, as the parent team, they have the priority right to renew the rookie contract after it expires.

And in this way, the maximum salary contract matched by the Rockets is only the highest salary that other teams can offer. Other teams cannot trigger the "Bird Clause", so they can still save millions of salary space every year.

In short, the abacus is working very well.

But judging from the fact that when Yao Ming was renewing his contract with Nike, he immediately switched to Reebok in the face of the humiliating offer from the other party, and he was unwilling to turn back even if Nike offered him a bigger contract later, it can be seen that Yao Ming has his own backbone.

The main thing is to make Yao Ming feel that the Rockets look down on him.

This is also the direction that Los Angeles media is working towards.

Kobe's personal performance so far this season, his ability to lead the team into the second round and even to a 1-1 tie with the Suns in the first two games of the series, have made the Los Angeles media believe that as long as Yao Ming comes, the Lakers will immediately have a new "OK" combination!
To be honest, some Lakers fans don’t even care whether Kobe can continue to create miracles. They know very well that Yao Ming is the future, and they are paying attention to the movements of the Lakers management every day.

This is the basic situation in the West.

After talking about the West, let's turn our attention back to the East. The Pistons and the Heat met in the semifinals. Shaquille O'Neal met the "Double Wallace" again. Wade's battle against Billups and Hamilton were the two focuses of this series and the winning points for both sides.

Whoever can do better in these two aspects will win the game.

In the three games that have been played between the two teams, the team that performed better in these two aspects won in the end.

The Heat currently leads 2-1.

On the day when Shaquille O'Neal vowed to win Game 4 of the series and then return to the Heat's home court to eliminate the Pistons in Game 5, the league announced the winner of this season's "Defensive Player of the Season Award."

Artest, who had been talking about this matter since the beginning of the season, got his wish and defeated Ben Wallace with 41.3% of the votes, who received 34.5% of the votes, and became the final "Defensive Player of the Season".

He also became the first small forward in NBA history to win the "Defensive Player of the Season Award" twice.

At this historic moment, Indiana media published articles to celebrate Artest's achievement of "historical first". And from being suspended to winning the "Best Defensive Player Award" again, Artest is now considered a representative of inspirational players.

Ben Wallace was very unhappy because his image was stolen. In the fourth game of the series, he showed his might and stole the Heat players' attention 4 times in one game, helping the team to change the score to 7-2.

After the game, he said bluntly: "I've had my trophy stolen by that rat once, and now it's the second time. I don't understand where I'm behind. Is it because I don't keep talking about wanting to compete for the Defensive Player of the Year award like he does? When did the league need players to be able to shout slogans?"

Artest was not intimidated at all and immediately posted on Facebook: "Someone who is not convinced can come to the Eastern Conference Finals to find me. I will be waiting for you there. I hope you will show up and I will tell you why I am the best defensive player of the season!"

The atmosphere became tense, which made Ben Wallace full of energy in the next game against the Heat. However, the Pacers were not the only ones who wanted to go to the Eastern Conference Finals. Shaquille O'Neal also had a debt to settle with Suwan, and his desire for the Eastern Conference Finals was no less than that of Ben Wallace.

therefore……

He exploded!

In the fifth game of the series, the "decisive battle", Shaquille O'Neal returned to his peak and scored 33 points and 14 rebounds. He fouled the "Double Wallace" 7 times in one game and almost destroyed the Pistons' inside line by himself.

Thanks to his outburst, the Heat won the extremely important fifth game and took the match point early.

But the Pistons' tenacity is not exaggerated. In the sixth game of the series, the Pistons, who were fighting a "back-to-the-wall battle", instead aroused an even more tenacious fighting spirit, allowing Shaq, who had played bravely in the previous game, to score only 16 points, and the Heat's overall score was also controlled below 80 points.

In the end, the Pistons used an extremely classic "Piston-style winning teaching" to change the score to 3-3.

The first "Game 7" of this season is about to come.

And the day before this game, the Dallas media suddenly started to hype up Dirk Nowitzki to win the regular season MVP this season.

First, the Mavericks swept the Clippers 4-0, and Dirk Nowitzki scored 40 points in the fourth game, helping the team to reverse the game by 10 points when other players were in a slump;

Second, the day for announcing the regular season MVP is approaching, and they have to stir up the hype first.

result……

The next morning after the Heat fought the Pistons for an overtime and finally defeated the Pistons 99-91, the official announced the winner of the ultimate award, the regular season MVP:
It's not Dirk Nowitzki, it's Suwan!

"With 40.5% of the votes, Suwan won the regular season MVP for the first time in his career!"

"It only took him two years to collect all four MVP awards!"

《At 20 years and 10 months old, the youngest regular season MVP in NBA history was born, but there is an even more exaggerated record waiting for him to break! 》

……

All major media outlets reported the news as soon as possible.

The Dallas media is done with it!

Wasn’t it agreed that whoever wins the regular season game will be the final regular season MVP?
Why don’t you all keep your promises?

The Dallas Morning News sarcastically said: "Everyone just wants to witness the birth of history, but ignores the real winner of this award. This season's Dirk Nowitzki is definitely the most unjustified regular season MVP loser in NBA history!"

Su Wan didn't expect that he would become the final winner of the regular season MVP.

He had stopped thinking about it a long time ago.

But now, seeing his name written on the official bulletin board of the league, Su Wan was not humble.

"Since more media people think I should win this award, I will prove why I am this year's regular season MVP!"

When the reporter asked him if he had read the latest reports from the Dallas media, Suwan shook his head and asked directly, "What happened to them?"

The reporter told him: "They think you stole Dirk's regular season MVP trophy with the help of media opinion. Dirk is the most unjustified loser in the regular season MVP in NBA history."

Huh~
Su Wan chuckled lightly.

Although he thinks Dirk Nowitzki is also qualified to win the regular season MVP this year.

But if we say that he was wronged, then where should Michael Jordan in the 96-97 season be placed?

And if David Stern hadn't insisted on "blacklisting" Jordan as the regular season MVP, Jordan would have been able to unlock the achievement of winning the regular season MVP for three consecutive years. This loss is not just as simple as a regular season MVP.

It really can be described as a loss to the grandma's house.

The reporter felt from Suwan's chuckle that he actually disagreed with what the Dallas media said. He asked knowingly: "If the Pacers made it to the finals, would you want their opponent to be the Mavericks?"

Su Wan said: "It couldn't be better!"

After finishing the interview with the reporter, Su Wan suddenly found that Irene had sent him a private message on Facebook. When he opened it, he found it was a web link.

It can’t be something weird, right?
Su Wan clicked on it curiously and found it was a news report.

That’s it?
Su Wan felt bored at once, but when he enlarged the picture, he found that it was an interview with Shaquille O'Neal.

Among them was talk of him becoming the eventual regular season MVP.

"I think this award should go to Dirk, there is no doubt about it!"

"We all know where the Mavericks ranked last season and where they ranked this year!"

"The Pacers had a lot of changes in the summer, but they are the defending champions and their core lineup has not changed. It is not easy to think that this team has become the best in the league just because some key players have left. This is all thanks to Suwan. So why do I only have one regular season MVP trophy?"

"When the Lakers won three consecutive championships, we lost some players every summer. But we won three consecutive championships. Since Suwan became the final regular season MVP this year, I think the league should also give me two regular season MVP trophies. Otherwise, I can only think that this is the league's preferential treatment for Suwan!"

These words were quite harsh, directly labeling Su Wan as being favored by the alliance.

If Su Wan can't tear off this label, he will become a person who is taken care of by the alliance in the future.

So he immediately reposted the report on his Facebook and said directly: "Let me tell you why you only have one regular season MVP, Shaq, because after the Lakers' last two championships, everyone thought the Lakers had another regular season MVP, and that was Kobe Bryant!"

"Also, don't forget to mention it in the history books. When you were on the Lakers, you only had one season to get the Lakers to the top of the Western Conference. It took you four years to do this, until Kobe grew up. You were able to do this, which is another proof that you can't live without Kobe!"

"So admit it, Shaq, you are nothing without Kobe!"
