I'm really good at shooting.

Chapter 699 Three consecutive MVPs! !
Sun Hao was taken aback when he saw this scene.

Duncan has also done this action in history, and it is also this season.

That was when they played G6 in the finals against the Heat. Before that game, the Spurs had already led by a big score of 3 to 2.

If G6 wins, the Spurs are the champions.

And in that game, the Spurs led the Heat by 10 points after three quarters.

Based on the lax performance of the Heat's Big Three at the critical moment, the Spurs had a great chance of winning the game.

It's just a pity that the Spurs themselves performed very mediocre in the last quarter. They only scored 20 points, and the Heat abruptly dragged the game into overtime.

The Heat once again had the upper hand in overtime, and on a similar play, Duncan did the same thing after missing a key putback.

That sentiment was completely understandable, as the Spurs lost their best chance when a great situation was reversed.

After that, it was true. The Spurs failed in the away tiebreaker, and finally lost the championship regrettably.

But the current situation is a bit different, this is only G1, and the Spurs are not reversed.

In theory, Duncan should not be so annoyed and frustrated.

But in fact Duncan did so, which can only show one thing, he is no less depressed now than he was then.

The reason why it is low is because there is no hope in sight!
Throughout G1, the Spurs couldn't limit the Lakers' scoring.

They can't defend, and their current offensive level can't match the Lakers. Coupled with the feeling of grabbing duckweed in the final quarter, Duncan's frustration is understandable.

In the end, the Lakers ushered in a good start by defeating the Spurs 121 to 104.

After the G1 game, the emotions of the Lakers fans were a little high.

For football watchers, what could be more satisfying than watching the home team defeat their opponents with a devastating offensive?

More importantly, this feeling is still going on!

Just two days later, G2 continued to play at the Staples Center.

The process of the game was very similar to G1. It can be seen that the Spurs played more focused and worked harder, but whether Popovich or the Spurs players, they still couldn't guess what the Lakers would "wear" every round , so they can often be seen in the game.

After all, the Spurs don't have a perimeter defensive leader like Green, and with their current lineup, they can't do the high-speed rotation of the Warriors.

The result is naturally predictable.

113 to 97, the Lakers made another victory, and the big score is already leading 2-0.

A very cruel reality for Spurs fans is that the scene of Sun Hao and Popovich spraying trash on the field should never appear, because there will be no need for it.

And the crueler thing is that they can't find a comeback point.

Indeed, the theoretical toughness of 101 knocks is full, but the problem now is that what they hit is a diamond, and the hammer will not break it even if it is broken!
However, the two sides came to San Antonio, and the Spurs narrowly beat the Lakers 3 to 104 in G101.

It can be seen from the score that the Lakers' offensive performance is a bit abnormal.

Sun Hao scored 41 points and Yao Ming scored 21 points and 11 rebounds. In terms of core performance, the Lakers have no major problems.

The real problem came from the role players, who combined for 35-of-7 shooting.

There is a problem with their own strength as role players, and it is also related to Popovich's defensive deployment.

After two games, he found that Yao Ming didn't take many offensive shots in this round of the series.

At first, he thought that Yao Ming's injury might have relapsed, but it turned out not to be.

He didn't find the reason, but he didn't look for it. According to his own strategy, he gave Sun Hao and Yao Ming certain scoring opportunities, and then restricted the scoring of other role players.

It sounded like suicidal defense, but it worked.

Harris' on-the-spot ability is average, which was reflected when he played the Warriors before.

So when he reacted to attack Yao Ming, it was actually too late.

Although the Spurs can't defend the Lakers, it doesn't mean that their own offense is not good.

In a duel between masters, a set of swordsmanship suppresses, but if the opponent finds a flaw, he may be killed by a single blow.

Popovich's sophistication and experience have been well demonstrated in this game.

The mood of Spurs fans after G3 also changed from cloudy to sunny.

1 to 2, if the Spurs can continue to show this characteristic, there is no chance of a comeback.

But after G4 started, the Spurs fans felt depressed again.

It's not that Popovich suddenly changed his mind and changed his defensive tactics, or that there was something wrong with the Spurs' performance.

Instead, the Lakers began to play rogue and unreasonable.

And after the game, Popovich said he was familiar with the plot.

Sun Hao, who scored 57 points, directly smashed the Spurs.

What kind of Spurs defensive system, what Leonard is, when Sun Hao is determined to score, they are all floating clouds.

Although Sun Hao's shooting percentage against the Spurs is actually not too high, but the Spurs' Neal and Leonard were both hit by 6 fouls and left the field.

It's such a tyrannical lethality.

And after the first three games, Sun Hao said that he seemed to have cheated Yao Ming, but it turned out that the time had not yet come.

When the time comes, it cannot be stopped.

111 to 101, after a fierce battle, the big score has come to 3 to 1.

Then, return to Los Angeles with such a score.

The Lakers didn't give the Spurs another chance. After a big victory, they sent the Spurs home 4-1.

It is a pity for Lakers fans that they still did not have the opportunity to meet the familiar G6 Sun.

What is uncomfortable for the Spurs fans is that the GDP in the fourth quarter of G5 was sitting on the bench, and Duncan's head wrapped in a towel made people feel distressed.

Popovich stared blankly ahead, not knowing what he was thinking.

In the end, he got up with a long breath, instantly giving off a very old feeling.

In fact, Yao Ming played as a support throughout the series, or it can be said that he did not exert his strength.

The Spurs lost, not because of Sun Hao, but more because of the overall loss.

Moreover, Popovich would not dare to abolish Sun Hao.

Even the rest of the Spurs wouldn't dare.

So in the end, it was a bit aggrieved to lose this game, but it was very helpless.

4 to 1, without bloodshed, the Lakers took the lead in the Western Conference Finals.

At this time, Lakers fans can really feel the distance from the championship to them.

The Lakers took the lead in breaking out of the division semifinals, and the remaining three groups of matches also ended one after another.

There is no suspense in the East. Although the Pacers and Eagles resisted fiercely, and the Pacers even scored a 2-4 score against the Bulls, in the end, the Eastern duo successfully broke through the encirclement and successfully joined the finals.

Then in the west, the game between the Lone Ranger and the Warriors was much more intense than expected.

Perhaps no one would have imagined before the game that these two teams would actually play another tiebreaker in this year's playoffs!
The Lone Ranger team is awe-inspiring.

They played a few times and looked like they were about to lose, but in the end they resisted and won the game.

If they hadn't met the Warriors, they might have reached the Western Conference Finals.

The final tie-break between the two teams has attracted much attention.

But this game was once again unexpected.

The old Nelson played the five juniors at the beginning of the game, and directly defeated the Mavericks.

Ibaka's excellent state left the Mavericks with little to do on the defensive end, and they were obviously lacking in physical fitness until the tiebreaker.

As a result, the Warriors directly sent the Mavericks out.

In the fourth quarter, Nowitzki sat on the sidelines with a long beard, and some scenes of white temples were mixed in, which was embarrassing.

Moreover, it is easy to think of Duncan in another group of conference semifinals.

The four power forwards at the beginning of the century, no matter how strong and persistent they are, their era will eventually pass.

After sighing, the fans immediately set their sights on the division finals.

As I said before, the Bulls Knicks on the east side, plus the Lakers Warriors on the west side.

The confrontation between these two groups is simply a cosmic collision!
No matter which group is facing each other, it is full of highlights.

Before the start of the conference finals, there is another thing that everyone pays attention to, and this year is also very suspenseful.

Regular season MVP!

Last season, Sun Hao won the regular season MVP with his extreme personal performance, but this year, it is not just a matter of personal performance.

In reality, the cores of the four teams that advanced to the division finals, except for the Bulls who are slightly inferior to Paul, the cores of the remaining three teams, James, Durant, and Sun Hao, both in terms of record and personal data. Definitely worthy of the MVP.

In terms of record, the Warriors are first in the league, the Knicks are second in the league, and the Lakers are third.

数据上，杜兰特场均28.3分9.3板3.7助攻，詹姆斯27.6分8板7.3助攻，孙昊32.5分4.1板8.7助攻。

Sun Hao, has a great chance to complete the MVP three consecutive Zhuangzhuang!
However, the record of the Lakers "drags down" him to some extent.

Although it is actually only a few wins, the league has always used the record as an important reference.

And there is a very important thing in history, that is, there are only three players with three consecutive MVPs, namely Russell, Chamberlain and Bird.

That's right, Michael here without me Jordan.

During the two dynasties of the Bulls, Jordan failed to complete three consecutive games, especially during the second dynasty, which is a pity for many fans.

Because your team is very strong and your personal ability is very strong, but it is possible that your opponent is also very strong.

The two people who stopped Jordan were Barkley and Karl Malone, who were in full swing at the time.

Now, there is nothing wrong with you saying that James and Durant are in full swing.

Especially Durant, after Sun Hao left the team, he still led the team to the first place in the Western Conference and reached the Western Conference Finals.

You can say that Curry replaced a large part of Sun Hao's role, but there is no doubt that Durant is the true core of the Warriors.

So no one really knows what the end result will be.

And before the final results were announced, a very interesting thing happened.

Before the final award is announced, the reporters will naturally interview the three popular candidates.

The answers of the three people are also very different.

The first is the No. [-] player James.

Facing the reporter's question, James' answer was as follows:
"It doesn't matter to me. No matter who the MVP is given to, it is the recognition of the fans and the media. If I can get that team, it will be a great encouragement to me and the team. If I can't get it, it means that others It is more worthy of this award."

Well, it's very James.

Then there's the No. [-] player Durant:
"Does this need to be asked? Sun is the only candidate. Before the start of the season, you thought the Lakers could play so well? And a player averaging 32 points per game, why not be elected MVP?"

And when the reporter asked why not him.

"If there is no Sun, this award should belong to me, we are the first in the league, but now he should belong to Sun."

This is the number one fanboy!
And from an ordinary person's point of view, it is even a bit incomprehensible, but from Durant's mouth, you will feel that there is nothing wrong with it.

Then when the reporter asked unwillingly if this was a match between the two teams and Durant deliberately poisoned milk, Durant looked at the reporter with a silly look.

This made the reporter feel a little numb.

In the end, it was Sun Hao's.

"I can't guess how the media will choose, but if I were to vote for this, I would vote for Kevin, the best player on the best team."

This wave of Sun Hao, invisibly, has a wave of business exchanges with Durant.

And in fact, these words are also Sun Hao's inner thoughts.

Because there is another point, among the three, Durant is actually the only one who hasn't won the MVP yet.

This season is Durant's best chance.

As for the future, if the Lakers run better and have a better record than the Warriors, then Durant really doesn't have many opportunities.

The answers of the three people also caused a lot of discussion among fans on social media.

Of course, this also makes fans look forward to the final selection results even more.

The day before the start of the conference finals, the league officially announced the selection results.

The votes of the three were very close, and even apart from the three, Paul also got a lot of votes.

In the final result, Sun Hao got 31% of the votes, beating Durant with 25% and James with 20%, and was successfully elected as the regular season MVP of the 2012~2013 season!

After receiving this award, Sun Hao also became the fourth player in NBA history to complete three consecutive MVPs!
After the result was announced, various people immediately congratulated Sun Hao.

"He deserves it." -James;
"I have said long ago that no one deserves this honor more than you! (50 words omitted)" - Durant;
"Late honor, the best player in history!" - Nowitzki;

"There is no doubt that Sun will become the first player in NBA history to complete four consecutive MVPs." - Sr. Nelson;

"Honor doesn't do justice to Sun's greatness, but it's well deserved and no one who lost to him felt it was unfair." -Paul;

"What else can I say? I don't seem to be here." -Jordan.
