Chapter 774 [Emotional intelligence comes first, fierce tiebreaker]

When Stephen Curry held a press conference and delivered his MVP acceptance speech, he said much more than Yang Rui and was filled with emotion.

It's a huge honor. When facing reporters, he held the trophy, expressed a little nervousness, and then thanked his family, wife, teammates, coaches, management and God.

Curry and Yang Rui learned to advertise, and specifically mentioned his younger brother Seth Curry.

"Growing up we've had a lot of tough fights. Every time I go head-to-head in the backyard, you give me a lot of trouble. I always joke that we could just play basketball all night. I know, there's a guy in the league. Big brother playing, having a dad who played in the league doesn't make it easy for you. I like your attitude, the sky is your limit. Go ahead, you've always been the pride of our family."

Seth was due to enter the NBA draft this summer, but after the season, he underwent surgery on his right shin, which will keep him out of pre-draft workouts with NBA teams and summer league thereafter.If Curry doesn't say these words, his younger brother is likely to lose the draft. Although he is good at shooting, his body is ordinary and he will suffer from confrontation.

Curry mentioned people in management and named many people, even equipment managers.This kind of little guy is ignored by most stars, but Curry has a good relationship with the staff.

Curry commented on every player on the team, especially thanks to Chris Paul, who taught him a lot; he also thanked Blake Griffin, saying that only by combining the inside and outside can we play the best basketball.

Even the three rookies who have just joined the team, Curry interacted with them a lot, talked about their characteristics, and wished everyone to play well in the future.

"I have to tell the story of me and my teammates this lengthy because we have a great memory, and what I've said before is just a few snippets of the journey. It all means a lot to us. How much sacrifice, how much sweat , how much persistence can get us to where we are today. It takes 15 people together. There is no room for one mistake in this formula, and we, none of them."

"We are all grateful. Thanks to the team behind me, if it wasn't for them, I wouldn't be where I am today. I want to mention everyone because I can remember who I fought with this year from the bottom of my heart. Thank you to each of you. I'm honored to be this year's MVP. Thank you."

Griffin didn't get more balls and didn't win the MVP this season, and I was a little upset.But after listening to Curry's testimonials, he felt much more comfortable and admired Curry a little.

Because he can't say it so well, there is a reason why Yang Rui put Curry in the position. His character is suitable for being a leader.

Griffin is more like a fighter, like Zhang Fei. When encountering problems, he is more prone to overheating than his teammates. This has happened many times in the game, but he is not the strongest now.

Many media want to stir up internal conflicts in the Clippers, dig up big news, and watch Curry compete with Paul and Griffin for the core position. Throughout the season, reporters like to ask the Clippers who is the boss.

All these people are disappointed.After Curry gave Rory's wordy testimonials, he thanked everyone and distributed the credit, saying that he just got a trophy by the luck of the team.

After the disappointment, the reporters had to change their goals. If they want to see infighting, they should keep their eyes on the Lakers.The character of the Clippers group can't be troubled.

Yang Rui's favorite thing about Curry is his high emotional intelligence.

In Yang Rui’s previous life, the success of the Warriors was closely related to Curry’s emotional intelligence. They have four superstars, including Durant, who has a negative emotional intelligence, and Draymond Green, who has a flamboyant personality. Internal conflicts can easily arise. , but the atmosphere in the Warriors team is excellent. It is Curry who brings his teammates together so well that even Green only listens to him.

Judging by his playing ability, Curry may be a little early to win the award, but looking at his overall ability, he definitely deserves the MVP.

The rest of the playoffs continued.The Eastern Nets swept the 4ers 0-76 and watched the battle with the Clippers. The other two rounds of the series were very intense.

The Cavaliers eliminated the Pacers 4-3 in a tiebreaker.

The lineups of the two teams competed against each other. The Pacers aimed at the shortcomings of the Cavaliers’ weak defense on the inside. Hibbert and David West took turns bombing. Outside George, Stephenson, Crawford, and George Hill have their own characteristics. , and can flank James near the penalty area without missing a three-point gap. The Cavaliers' three-point shooting rate throughout the series is terrible.

Inside contest, Bosh 11 points and 4.3 rebounds, Hibbert 22.1 points and 10.4 rebounds, 56% shooting.This series, Hibbert looks like the league's first center, Bosh was played doubt life.

The Pacers lost because of the lack of a superstar, and the final score was fraught. When they needed to make key shots, no one could guarantee the hit rate, while the Cavaliers had James, Wade, and the experienced veteran Ray Allen.

If it wasn't for James's triple-double and lore in the first game, the Pacers would have won two Cavaliers home games, and this round of series may not be suspenseful.

The Western Spurs eliminated the Thunder 4-3.

The reason why the Thunder lost is that the strength of the bench is too poor. Without a Harden, the Thunder lacks a strong offensive point.Once Er Shao's offense is blocked, the Thunder will not be able to open the situation.

The Spurs' strengths are Duncan and Parker. Ginobili averaged 11.5 points and 5 assists per game, shooting only 39% from the field and 30% from three-point range. He has become a role player.

Ginobili did not play well in the regular season, averaging only 11.8 points and 4.6 assists per game, the lowest score since his rookie season.

Kawhi Leonard has become the Spurs' surprise soldier. He has done a very good job defending Durant alone. He can also open up space on the offensive end, catch the ball and shoot. 12 percent from three.

Durant was still able to score high points, but had two games where he shot poorly.There are three games where Westbrook shot less than [-]% from the field, and the Thunder lost all of them, including the key home tiebreaker.

决战中维斯布鲁克23投8中，投篮命中率仅34.8%，三分球6中1，命中率16.7%，亮点是罚球18中17，砍下34分7篮板8助攻7失误5犯规。

Because the hit rate is too low and there are many mistakes, there are many people who say that Wei Shao killed Durant, but he actually blamed the Thunder substitutes.All the substitutes in this game only scored 5 points in total, all of which were obtained by veteran Fisher. The offense in the distal quarter could not be opened, and Durant was bored again. Wei Shao could only face double-teams and break through.

Fisher played 33 minutes and scored 5 points. Not only did he fail to strengthen the offensive power of the second unit, but he also lost the character of the Thunder team. Fans don't want to see this guy win.

Fisher, who played for the Knicks in just 13 games earlier this season, asked to part with the Knicks after suffering a knee injury because he wanted to return to his home in Los Angeles to be with his family.

In fact, he wanted to hug the thighs of Stoudamire and Anthony, plus seeing the Knicks lack a point guard, he went to get consistent playing time.

The Knicks recruited in the summer, and the lineup was not bad and seemed promising, leading Fisher to miscalculate the situation.But he soon found that the Knicks had no chance of winning the championship, and it was difficult to even make the playoffs, so he did not want to stay in New York.

Not long after the termination of the contract with the Knicks, Fisher joined the Thunder freely, saying that he had been very happy in Oklahoma City before, and the Thunder teammates were like his family.

The Knicks won't hire this guy as head coach unless they're crazy.
