Chapter 583 The opponent in the second round
Iverson really tried his best, but these teammates were getting worse every year, and Billy King was helpless. After Larry Brown led Philadelphia to the finals by luck, the tactical system of four and one is already the most conventional system in Philadelphia. No matter which coach comes, not to mention the championship, at least the playoffs are still stable.
Philadelphia started this season really badly, and once ranked last in the league. However, with the strength of this tactical system, Iverson entered the All-Star Game, and then did not give any chances to the competitors in the remaining games, and successfully entered the playoffs.
Iverson didn't feel much sad about spring and autumn. Although he had not devoted much energy to it before, he was still the most deadly person on the court.
The other rounds of the Eastern Conference matchup were also decided. The Heat eliminated the Knicks, which was considered a small unpopularity, because the Knicks had European doubles this season, and they were sent home by the Heat in seven games? It's not scientific.
The Knicks fans were a little disappointed. They actually wanted to see the Knicks and the Bulls meet in the second round, but before the second round, they were sniped by the Heat in the first round.
In this series, the Heat successfully restricted Parker, but the Knicks were unable to restrict Wade. Although Wade's shooting percentage was only early forty percent in this series, it was enough.
Barnes is the biggest contributor to the Heat's victory over the Knicks. Parker, who defended in seven games, was really crying and calling for his parents. Although Milicic has huge advantages in other inside players except Odom, unfortunately Milicic is alone and can't stand it.
Wade has entered the Rookie All-Nice Team before and many people think that his name is not worthy of his name, because his place can be given to Hinrich or Ford, but Wade averaged 22 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists in these seven games, and is the number one hero for the Heat's victory. Of course, you can't deny Eddie Jones and Barnes' restrictions on Parker. Parker only had 14 points in this round of the series, far lower than his average score of 20 points.
Parker won the fastest-progressing player with his performance this season, but this award is really toxic. It is hard for anyone to take it in the first round of the playoffs, or he can't even enter the playoffs. If you don't believe it, just look at McGrady, O'O, Arenas, and Jaylen Ross. The winners of this award in recent years are more sad than the other.
Because the other first rounds are not over yet, the Bulls have a rest time of nearly two weeks.
However, at the NBA headquarters, there is still a debate about the ownership of MVP.
"I still think Kevin Garnett is more suitable because he has played in the peak form this season."
"I support Tim Duncan, the opponent is the most stable player in the league. No matter which team he is in, his performance will not shrink."
"Although Bruce has taken it twice, there seems to be nothing unreasonable for three consecutive MVPs. You can't ignore the other party just because he is a Chinese. If this is the case, then the Asian market developed by NBA will shrink greatly. Bruce's number of fans is the number one person in the sports world."
…………
Stern listened to the arguments of several subordinates and didn't say anything because he had not yet made a conclusion. The best rookie Anthony and James actually decided to give this award to James before playing in the season, because the other party was strongly promoted to fight against Li Lei. In addition to Nike's momentum, James naturally started much higher than other rookies in nature.
"Okay, don't argue, everyone vote. Which side gets half of it, which side is the regular season mvp this year."
Voting? Those who supported Garnett and Duncan all rolled their eyes. Sixty percent of the people present supported Li Lei. Although the other party was not an American, his strength and influence were beyond Duncan and Garnett's reach. Stern had already given the award to each other in disguise.
As expected, Li Lei's support is the majority. Stern's mood is very complicated. If the Bulls continue to play like this, it will be easy to turn the NBA into an oligarchy game, because Li Lei alone can beat several superstars of the opponent, which is too terrifying. If Li Lei leaves the Bulls next season, is it a better choice? For example, go to the next team to prove himself? Regardless of whether Li Lei can win three consecutive championships this season, his current position as the No. 1 player in the NBA is still very stable. With the records he set, if you want to break it, you can't do it without a certain amount of time.
So what if James was hailed before the draft? He led the team alone in the rookie season and won the No. 1 pick. Although many people on the Internet say that it was because Li Lei's teammates were better than James, these guys were all selectively blind. Before Li Lei came, the Bulls were worse than the Cavaliers. Although Brand and Fizell were not low in the rankings, they were just fine.
So to a certain extent, Li Lei has the same starting point as James, but Li Lei's style of play means that he is easier to achieve than James. Although James' style of play is very exciting, the team does not win the ball. Sometimes this style of play cannot even make a ticket back. Anyone who understands Cleveland understands what is.
In other matchups in the East, the Pistons and the Celtics finally eliminated their opponents and entered the next round. They will face off directly in the next round, with Larry Brown and Jim O'Brien calling the dark side.
In the West, the second round of the match was when the Kings beat the Timberwolves and the Lakers beat the Grizzlies, which was also criticized for being shady because the Bulls and Lakers' opponents were not on the same level as other competitors.
But who can blame? The Bulls are the first in the regular season this season, while the Lakers are the second in the regular season. Isn’t it normal for them to encounter teams that are easy to bully in the second round of the playoffs?
