You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 736 As long as there are MVPs, too many will overflow (758)

In Game 2 of the semifinals, Kyle Lowry caused some trouble for the 76ers.

Lowry is a counter-pull master, a master switcher, and can always lay up on the fast break or himself.

In the first half of Game [-], Lowry showed an unbelievably wide field of vision for his height.

The assists he sent out were mainly "found" rather than "created".

Because of his height, he is not good at pick-and-roll cuts, so Valanciunas, a European white bear who has been playing pick-and-rolls since childhood, is awkward when he is on the same court; because of his height, he is not good at long passes in the middle of breakthroughs.His organization method mainly comes from finding open teammates in the counterattack, or finding teammates in the penalty area when moving in high positions.His organizational expertise lies in vision and passing range, but if he encounters a tough and tall defensive team and his teammates can't make room, and he needs to single out the space like Paul, he will be dazed.

Therefore, the 76ers prescribe the right medicine, and the players headed by Wei Xia blocked and stuffed his passing route.

When he can see the opportunity, he plays the ball quickly, but when he can't see the opportunity, he has a tendency to stick to the ball.He's not alone, but he can't turn the ball around with a simple pass the way Kidd did.

In the second half, the Raptors counted on Lowry to rebound diligently with Rondo and the inside.

The offense that the Raptors most want to see is Lowry rushing forward after catching the rebound, because this is his most sure method of organization; in a positional battle, he has no reliable way to create except for the occasional surprise return pass.

He's not a player who can perform miracles.

In the first half, Lowry's shining performance caused some trouble for the 76ers.

However, Wei Xia deliberately passed the ball today, protected rebounds, and pursued comprehensive statistics one-sidedly.

At halftime, the reporter asked him if his halftime triple-double was proof that he could be as versatile as LeBron if he wanted to.

Wei Xia shook his head slightly, "Of course not, I don't want to prove such a boring thing, it's something young people do, I won't do it."

Wei Xia didn't want to admit it, and the reporter didn't force it.

In the second half, Wei Xia maintained a wide range of all-around performance, scoring a triple-double of 33 points, 14 rebounds and 11 assists, leading the team to victory.

This time, Dwayne Casey shut up.

The gap between the 76ers and the Raptors is too big, no matter what kind of demands he puts on Wei Xia.In the game, the 76ers had enough space and time for Wei Xia to brush up the data limited by Casey.

Coach Casey deserves to be Song Xianggong in the league, he is so kind.He can be more aggressive. For example, Wei Xia will never score 100 points in the playoffs.Or, he just can't average a triple-double by the end of his playoff run.

As long as he can do this, Wei Xia will dare to admit cowardice.

Coach Casey's face is not thick enough to force others to do what he wants, so Wei Xia can only meet his requirements time and time again.

"I don't want to emphasize anymore, this season's Wish represents the highest level in the world." Jay Wright reiterated Weixia's strength every night, "He is the source of the strength of the 76ers. He is the source of our belief, courage, hope, and all cores."

Wei Xia remained humble and said: "I am just an ordinary member of this great team."

Is it really ordinary?
A day later, the league announced the winners of the regular season awards other than the MVP.

One of the most surprising awards is DPOY.

Wescha defeated big favorite Joakim Noah.

With a 6% vote advantage, he was elected DPOY for two consecutive years.

The Chicago media complained a lot. They believed that Noah had encountered the "rule of giving way to superstars".

They turned Noah into the Bob McAdoo (Bob McAdoo C) of the year. This person won the scoring champion for three consecutive years in the 70s.So they voted Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who led the team in the regular season, into the MVP.

Since then, this phenomenon has been referred to by the media as the Superstar Make Way Rule.

When two superstars compete for the same honor, if the difference is slight, then the more prestigious person will win the honor.

Of course, this is all voted by the media. Sometimes the media doesn't understand football so well, so accidents will happen.

The reasons why Wescia and Noah serve as defensive gates are similar.

They all support the existence of the team's defensive system with one person's strength.

Noah is an insider, while Weixia is an outsider. In terms of influence, Noah is above Weixia.However, Wei Xia also used his personal defensive radiation to alleviate Rondo's defensive problems after a serious injury, and Cousins ​​often didn't know who to defend.

Relatively speaking, Noah worked harder and paid more. He may be a better answer.

But since the media gave Wei Xia, there is naturally a reason for the media.

Wei Xia will never be troubled by this. Compared with last year's scoring leader and DPOY's stunning performance that only Jordan can complete, this year he is more at ease.

In addition to DPOY, he also continued the record of being selected for the double first team.

At the same time, his teammate DeMarcus Cousins ​​was also selected to the best team with a strong attitude.

There is one more piece of evidence that Weixia's teammates are better than James.

LeBron James has never had a teammate!
As for why Wade was a regular in the best team before the team, Bosh was the top power forward in the East, but after the team, only LeBron James was the only beauty.

Game3
The 76ers head to Toronto, led by two All-NBA selections.

The scenery of the Northland allowed them to play freely. Cousins ​​​​played the best data since the start of the playoffs, with 40 points, 19 rebounds and 6 assists.

Wei Xia scored triple-doubles in two consecutive games.

The offense has Cousins, so he pays more attention to the comprehensive data, 22 points, 11 rebounds and 15 assists in a single game. If this continues, he is the king of assists per game in this round of the series.

The 3-0 situation fell in front of the Toronto people.

They looked at what happened in front of them, as if resigned to their fate, the fans left the field silently.

The gap in strength is too big, fighting spirit, desire and support from fans are irrelevant.

Coach Casey is still looking forward to the plan to win a game: "We will fight for the dignity of the North!"

There is only one game left for them to defend their dignity, and the 76ers don't want to ruin their playoff winning streak in Toronto.

Game4, Wesha continued to record his triple-double, Cousins ​​didn't feel good, but the Raptors were unlucky, and Hayward fired.

Tonight, Hayward won the only 30+ in eight playoff games.

Outside the three-point line, Hayward made 7 of 6 shots, 34 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, and was elected the best player in the game.

Wei Xia got an economical triple-double of 15+11+12.

Three triple-doubles in four games, the average data in the semifinals just reached a triple-double, and the average assists per game surpassed Rondo, becoming the assist leader in this round of the series.

On the night of sending the Raptors out of the playoffs, Wei Xia attended the press conference and only slightly mentioned his performance: "My triple-double was not deliberate. I believe everyone who has watched the game will think so."

"Cough cough!"

Cousins ​​next to him sprayed water on the table.

The reporters at the scene all laughed, and everything was said in silence.

Wei Xia is different from superstars who must take revenge. Even if everyone knows that he is proving it to others, he will not admit it.He said verbally that this kind of thinking is very naive, and this kind of speculation is very unreasonable, but the actual actions can't deceive people, he just cares about it.

Defeating the Raptors made the 76ers the first team in the semifinals to advance to the conference finals.

Two 4 to 0, they showed the dominance of the regular season.

At this point, all that's left is to wait.

They have to wait for the Miami people to go on the stage last year, and they have to be in that position, and they will personally unseat the Miami people from the throne, so that it can be considered revenge.

The situation in the east is as intertwined as in the west.

The Spurs and the Warriors in the West are fighting hard, and the Thunder and the Grizzlies are also fighting anxiously.

In the east, there is a fierce battle between the Heat and the Pacers.

All the 76ers have to do is wait peacefully at home, waiting for the Heat to send the Pacers away.The Pacers' rising star Paul George was not as amazing as last year in this round of the series, but their teenager, Lance Stevenson, who seemed to have taken medicine, provoked the No. 1 league.

The most classic scene is Stevenson blowing into James' ear.

That shot was actually captured by the camera.

James, who has ruled the league for two years, did not expect that someone would dare to pluck out his beard. Of course, he would have to be punished slightly, but the aging of Miami is clearly visible, and it is not so easy to deal with the Pacers.

Before the results of this group of semi-finals came out, another result that had troubled fans for a long time came out.

Wei Xia was elected the regular season MVP of the 2013-2014 season.

This is an inevitable result. Since the 76ers won 71 wins, no one can compete with Weixia.Kevin Durant, who was struggling with the Grizzlies, was certainly not happy. He ran with the Grizzlies again and fell to No.2 again.This year, he didn't even count as a narrow defeat, Wei Xia won more than 95% of the votes.

After 2012, Wei Xia won the MVP again.

His second personal MVP.

In the MVP acceptance speech, the first sentence he said was: "Thanks to the great creator, thanks to its will, I can be where I am today. I am proud of this, everyone, from today, I have as many MVP trophies as Kobe."

Because of this sentence, Kobe bombarded him with text messages for a week.

The content of the text message is probably that he feels that he still has a chance to win another MVP in the future, so that Wei Xia should not be too happy too early.

Kobe bombarded Wei Xia with hundreds of text messages.

Wei Xia only replied one, the content is as follows:

"Dear Kobe, I already know your intentions, I know your plan, even though you are weak and strong, you are still my role model, I respect you from the bottom of my heart, please accept my tribute. At the same time, please allow me to express my superficial personal opinion. I personally think that winning one MVP trophy is a blessing from God. Holding two is a blessing from God. Insatiable greed will only arouse the jealousy of ghosts and monsters. Therefore, I advise you to cultivate your moral character in the future and don't rush for success. In the end, because your enthusiasm is so hot that I often lose sleep, I made up my mind to temporarily put your mobile phone number on the blacklist, and it will be canceled after a week. Please forgive me—Wish who loves you forever.”

Pull the blacklist?This kind of fluff is simply contempt for Kobe's IQ.

Kobe changed his mobile phone number and continued to harass, but he came to one, and Wei Xiafeng came to another.Come two, seal a pair.He played hard, and Wei Xia also practiced the hand speed to quickly blacklist harassing calls, although it was useless.
