Chapter 866 [Impossible to blame, huge controversy]
In the second round, the SuperSonics defeated the Mavericks and swept the Mavericks 4-0 to advance.
The SuperSonics gave the Mavericks a headache just by the matchup of players, and mismatches often occurred on the court during counterattacks. Yang Jian was responsible for guarding point guard Steve Nash, and Billups was responsible for guarding shooting guard Marquis Daniel.
Just like that.
When Yang Jian faced Nash during the counterattack, he could rely on his strength to crush the breakthrough. When Nash was far away, he would make emergency stop jumpers and step-back jumpers. Nash did not have the ability to block shots, and he could not even close his eyes to defend. Yang Jian could do whatever he wanted.
It's just a slight interference.
Michael Finley and Daniels can mainly defend Yang Jian in positional battles, but they can't help but stare blankly during quick counterattacks. If they double-team Yang Jian during the counterattack, there will definitely be one person free who can catch the ball and shoot directly.
With Gerald Wallace and Manu Ginobili on the court, the SuperSonics' fast break was even sharper. Yang Jian attracted double teams and had many Gerrard dunks, alley-oops and windmill dunks.
Performance.
Finley failed to score in double figures in the two games he was guarded, Nash was bombed, and Antoine Walker struggled every game. The Mavericks relied on Nowitzki and Jamison to score, and could not pose any threat to the Sonics.
Both lost by 24 points.
Walker will definitely be traded this summer. Nelson can't tolerate him anymore. He only played 28 minutes per game in the series. Rookie Josh Howard looks more reliable than Walker. This fat guy doesn't know how to do anything except confront people.
Take the jump shot and hit the iron.
Walker entered the game after averaging 12.2 shots per game, 9.8 points, 8.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists, shooting 36.1% from the field, 10% from three-point range, and 57.1% from free throws. He averaged only 1.5 free throws per game, with a true shooting percentage of 38.2.
%, so low that he is the number one blacksmith.
The Mavericks suffered a disastrous defeat, and coach Nelson was to blame. It was time to dismiss the team.
Nash is a free agent this season, and the Mavericks management is unwilling to renew his contract. He is indeed a defensive black hole, with obvious advantages and disadvantages. It will be difficult for a team with him to win the championship.
The SuperSonics received a lot of praise after the game. Netizens believed that they were going to win the championship again and were so strong that they made their opponents despair. Many teams were beaten by the SuperSonics and had to rebuild, and there were not many strong teams in the Western Conference. Before the start of this season,
The Mavericks are the team predicted by the media to be the most promising team in the West to challenge the SuperSonics.
Yang Jian was the best player in the playoffs again. He scored 50 points in two games against the Mavericks and completely dominated the court. His average playing time in the playoffs was only 33.6 minutes, which was a little lower than in the regular season, but his statistics were
Stronger.
At this time, the regular season awards were announced, which caused huge controversy.
The Rookie of the Year award was won by LeBron James of the Cavaliers alone, and many fans expressed their disbelief.
Looking at the data, James and Carmelo Anthony are not much different. Compared with the record, the Nuggets are sixth in the Western Conference, with an increase of 26 wins. The Cavaliers are at the bottom of the league, winning only 17 games. Compared with the head-to-head record, the Nuggets beat the Cavaliers twice, and Anthony
Averaging 20 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2 assists per game, James averaged 13 points, 8.5 rebounds and 6 assists per game.
The player from the bottom team actually won the Rookie of the Year award, and the player with a better record did not win the award. What is the law? In the past, the NBA did not select the best rookie according to this standard. It depended on a combination of data and record.
Moreover, this time the league will not engage in any drama about the two winning Rookie of the Year together. Obviously the two people's statistics are very close, which is more reasonable than when Grant Hill and Jason Kidd won the award together.
This was a completely poorly concealed suppression of Anthony. After seeing the result, Melo almost exploded with anger and turned into a bitter melon by the minute.
Anthony became the only player in NBA history to win the Western Conference Rookie of the Month award every month, but did not win the Rookie of the Year award in the end. This was clearly a default decision. Nuggets fans were very angry and posted online expressing their disapproval.
fair.
This is just the beginning. It will be even more unfair in the future. If you don’t believe me, try watching Anthony do a crab walk for a layup?
No one from the Sonics was selected to the All-Rookie Team, and no one had a chance to perform.
The Best Sixth Man is Mavericks forward Antoine Jamison, who averaged 15.2 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1 steal per game. Jamison has changed from the Warriors' boss to the sixth man. He doesn't want to receive this award at all. It's serious.
Sliding sign.
The Most Improved Player is Trail Blazers power forward Zach Randolph, who averaged 20.1 points, 10.5 rebounds, 2 assists and 0.8 steals per game. This is the most uncontroversial award. Fatty's statistics are very beautiful.
The Coach of the Year award was equally controversial and went to Bulls coach Bob Weis.
The Bulls have the second-best record in the league and are very successful this season. However, their record is not much improved compared to last season. Bob Weiss' tactics are not very good either. Their on-the-spot response is poor and they were reversed by their opponents many times in the final quarter.
Eagles coach Nate McMillan has a higher voice because the Eagles' record has improved the most. Both of them have served as assistant coaches for the Sonics, and coaches in the Sonics department are beginning to rise to prominence.
The best defensive player is Pacers forward Ron Artest. After he joined, the Pacers' wing defense has become super strong. He doesn't look good but can attack and defend. He is a recognized defensive expert.
The controversy is that many people think that Jermaine O'Neal's defensive statistics are better. Why didn't he win the award? In fact, O'Neal's defense is indeed not that interesting. If he wins the award, what will Duncan and Garnett do?
All-Defensive First Team: Kidd, Yang Jian, Artest, Garnett, Ben Wallace.
Defensive second team: Eric Snow, Doug Christie, Andrei Kirilenko, Tim Duncan, Yao Ming.
Kobe provided an attribute point, and he should have been selected for the All-Defensive First Team. The Lakers' record was last, and the overall defense was a mess. Of course, Kobe would not be selected. Yang Jian entered the first team for the first time.
The Lakers were rebuilt under the leadership of Yang Jian, and Kobe's success to this point is certainly related to him. However, Yang Jian often struggled on the defensive end, and his selection was controversial. People think that he should win the MVP again rather than join the defensive team.
.
Yang Jian was a little speechless. Under his defense, many role players were able to score the highest scores in a single game of their careers, and his defensive rating actually improved. It can be seen that the league will not let him continue to win the MVP award, but is using this method to give him points.
compensate.
What's even more outrageous is not that Yang Jian was selected, but that Yao Ming was selected for the second defensive team. Yao Ming's defense was actually recognized, which is so rare. But this illustrates a problem, Yao Ming cannot win the MVP.
The final regular season MVP was the most controversial. The winner was Tim Duncan of the Spurs. He didn't even win the Western Conference Player of the Month award this season, and this honor was taken by Yang Jian.
Duncan averaged 23.4 points, 12.4 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 0.9 steals, and 2.7 blocks per game, with a field goal percentage of 50.1% and a free throw percentage of 62.9%. His data is completely incomparable to Yang Jian, and is on the same level as Yao Ming.
In terms of record, the Bulls beat the Spurs, but Yao Ming lost to Duncan.
The reason Duncan won the award is that the Spurs are led by him alone and there is no second All-Star player on the team.
This explanation is reasonable, and Duncan's record is also justified. But the fans don't buy it, especially Yang Jian's fans. They think the only reason Yang Jian cannot win the MVP again is because he has won too many awards. He won three data kings
, is he not better than Duncan in achieving the best record? The two are not players of the same level at all.
Duncan provided Yang Jian with an attribute point, which Yang Jian got by witnessing history. In fact, Duncan's history was also changed by the butterfly effect. He should have had two MVPs, and they won consecutively. This year's winner was Garnett.
Garnett did not provide attribute points, and the Timberwolves' lineup changes have nothing to do with Yang Jian.
All-NBA First Team: Yang Jian, Kidd, Garnett, Duncan, Yao Ming.
Best Second Team: Tracy McGrady, Ray Allen, Stojakovic, Elton Brand, Shaquille O'Neal.
Best third team: Chauncey Billups, Sam Cassell, O'Neal Jr., Nowitzki, Ben Wallace.
There is also a lot of controversy in the best team. Kidd averaged only 15.5 points per game and shot 38.4% from the field, but he was selected for the first team. What's wrong?
Some people were dissatisfied with Tracy McGrady being selected for the second team. The Magic's record ranked second to last in the Eastern Conference. He is the only player who did not make the playoffs but made the All-NBA team. The league's intention of promoting him is too obvious.
