Healing Basketball

Chapter 1061 1061. Convince the media!
姚明场均23.5分10.5板2助攻2.5盖帽，把霍华德防得场均14.5分9板1.25抢断1.75盖帽，也挡不住对方外线靠三分场均拿到近40分。

Liu Xiu can only pray for Brother Yao from the air, if the Magic team is really so accurate all the time, really, it won't work for anyone!

The Pistons can still hold the big score, purely relying on Yao Ming's huge advantage when facing Howard.

In addition to the competition, the current hot topic is the regular season awards that are constantly being announced.

Hornets general manager Jeff Bauer won the best manager award; Rockets' Granger won the most improved award.

The Sportsmanship Award was won by Grant Hill, who has been in full attendance for two consecutive seasons.

The best sixth man was won by Jason Terry of the Mavericks.

After Terry gave up the starting lineup to Kidd last season, he devoted himself to scoring as a substitute. This season, he averaged 19.6 points per game. He once averaged 20+ points per game in the early part of the season... and won 115 out of 113 first-place votes. .

The remaining two first ballots were taken by outlaws.

Outlaw Fanatics ranked No.14.1 with two first votes and 2% of the score.

A few years ago, the performance of the extrajudicial fanatics this season would definitely surpass the best sixth man. It is rare to see substitutes who perform well on both ends of the offense and defense, but now all teams are paying more and more attention to substitutes.

Terry played as a substitute, just like Raheem ran to play as a substitute at his peak a few years ago, it was completely cheating!

The best coach, Maurice Cheeks of the Trail Blazers defeated Mike Brown of the Cavaliers and won the best coach of the season!
This is the third time Morris Cheeks has won the award in his coaching career, tying the historical record of 3 best coaches held by the magic operator and the mad scientist!

The awards that have not yet been announced in the regular season are only three awards: Best Rookie, MVP, and DPOY.

...

Back to Portland for a night of rest, May 5st, the new month is here.

The Mavericks and the Rockets will have two days off after the first 4 games, and they will play Tianwangshan tomorrow.

The Trail Blazers will take another day off today and start training tomorrow. The training direction is to adjust the tactical system according to the situation encountered in the first round.

There is a big difference between the regular season and the playoffs. Some of the aspects they played well in the regular season did not play well in the first round. The rules are the same, but the penalty scale is different. Some offensive methods need to be reduced or reduced. give up.

But on the defensive end, there is more room to operate, and it's time for Bu Shuai and Mark Jackson to play.

However, most of the teammates continued their holidays. Liu Xiu, Kwame Brown, Gasol Jr., Outlaws, Hill and other core members of the defensive end were called to discuss the adjustment of the defensive end.

With this level of effort in preparation, Liu Xiu feels that they are heading towards surpassing the Lakers' best record in the playoffs of 15 wins and 1 loss.

When he asked the coaching staff if they had this idea, the coach replied without hesitation: "We go for this every year, including last year."

On the second day, May 5, the league announced the Rookie of the Year award.

Westbrook of the Hornets and Greg Oden of the Grizzlies both received 52 first votes and 62 second votes. Both of them accounted for 30.95% of the total points. Rookie of the Year.

在此之前，只有70-71赛季的戴夫-考恩斯和乔夫-皮特里、94-95赛季的基德和希尔、99-00赛季的弗朗西斯和布兰德。

This is the fourth time in NBA history.

But not two players selected in the same session won the best rookie at the same time. This is the first time in NBA history.

刘秀之前对新秀的注意力都放在龟龟身上，忘了场均13分9板0.9助攻0.9抢断3.3盖帽的大帝也是新秀！

The most triple-double rookie since the Big O, and the first rookie block leader since Ball, they both won the best rookie, sparking heated discussions.

In the evening, the Mavericks defeated the Rockets 93-82 in the battle of Tianwangshan, making the big score 3-2!

Although Hamilton, Granger, and Varejao showed full resilience, the Mavericks have been able to firmly suppress the Rockets.

Liu Xiu watched the live broadcast of the game and remembered the "help" the Cavaliers brought to the Trail Blazers.

Sometimes you just need such a strong and difficult opponent to help you improve.

The Rockets are the Mavericks' predestined relationship.

On the 3rd, the Trail Blazers began targeted training.

The coaching staff had the same opinion as Liu Xiu, and felt that the Mavericks should advance to the second round. They decided to start training with the Mavericks as their preparations.

If the Rockets really come back 4 to 3, that would be even better.

Judging from the current situation, although the Rockets are difficult to play, they are just difficult to play.

The Mavericks are obviously more aggressive!

On the 4th, the G6 game day between the Mavericks and the Rockets arrived, but today people's attention is not on them.

The mosaic army's style of play, people's desire to explore after seeing their game is really not as good as facing a bunch of mosaics.

Today is the day when the regular season MVP and DPOY are announced!
The Trail Blazers are also very concerned about this day. They have a popular candidate for the best defensive player-Kwame Brown.

This is the first time in the history of their team that someone has become a candidate for the best defensive player. If the parallel import champion wins the award, it will make team history. He is only 27 years old and has a retired jersey.

After morning practice, the Blazers players and some of their coaches huddled in a lounge in the Willamette Gardens practice facility, waiting for the awards to be announced.

At 12:[-] noon, the live broadcast of American Cable Sports began. After the joke made an opening remark in his sharp voice, he began to introduce several popular candidates for the best defensive player.

Artest of the Raptors, Garnett of the Bulls, Howard of the Magic, Kwame Brown and Liu Xiu of the Trail Blazers, James of the Cavaliers, Kobe of the Lakers, Oden of the Grizzlies, Bynum of the Rockets, Duncan of the Spurs, Iguodala of the 76ers... Liu Xiu feels that there are so many candidates for the best defensive player this year!

Anyway, the leader in rebounds, blocks, and steals are all on the list.

The 2-minute comprehensive defensive highlights of the major candidates were shown on the TV, and everyone’s defense was extremely good. Of course, this group of people also defended very well. It is better to find pictures from excellent people than a group of scumbags. Taller looks better.

After the highlights were played, Joke opened the box, took out the envelope, opened it, looked at the name on the letter and read: "Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of the best defensive player award in the 2008-2009 NBA regular season is...from Portland Kwame Brown of the Trail Blazers!"

Instant boiling in the living room!

Everyone gathered around to congratulate the champion of parallel imports, while the butcher, Birdman and others treated the champion of parallel imports to treat guests.

The details of the votes were posted on the TV.

场均打29分钟，拿到8分8.2板2助攻0.9抢断3盖帽，夸梅-布朗拿到了115张第一选票中的77张，以41.2%的总得分占比拿下最佳防守球员。

Howard got 27 first-place votes and ranked second with 22.6% of the total score.

Liu Xiu is very confident that Kwame Brown will win the best defensive player this year. If someone in their Trail Blazers has the conditions to win a certain award, then the probability of winning the award will be very high.

With 73 wins, the media had to give several awards to his teammates and coaches. If it wasn't for Terry who didn't talk about martial arts and ended up grabbing the best sixth man, the extrajudicial fanatic would also win this award.

Otherwise, wouldn't it appear that his warden is too powerful...

He had to rely on so many powerful teammates and coaches to lead his team to 73 victories.

But such a big gap in the number of votes surprised him.

This means that most people think that he should win the award based on the defensive performance of the Trail Blazers this season and Kwame Brown's defensive role. Take down the DPOY!

The third vote was James, who got 6 first ballots and ranked third with 14.7% of the total score.

Liu Xiu was in a good mood when he saw that he also got the first vote. The master didn't have the first vote this year, but Ariza got the first vote this year.

Instead of paying attention to the number of votes, the warden went up to congratulate the parallel import champion.

Just when everyone was happily discussing how to kill the number one player in parallel imports after the season ended, a sound of "I buy Karma" resounded throughout the lounge.

Everyone looked at the source of the voice, and it was Grant Hill, the gentlest and most polite man in the team.

What's wrong with this guy?
Everyone saw Hill staring at the TV in a daze, and put their eyes on the TV.

Highlights are being played on the TV screen, Liu Xiu's.

Next to it is the most valuable player of the 2008-2009 regular season.

Not a 'candidate'!
It's the highlights that will be played after winning!Just now after the champion of parallel imports won the best defensive player award, he also played a long video alone like this!

Soon, screams resounded through the lounge, and everyone went crazy!

Everyone looked at Liu Xiu... the warden was stunned.

This is the first time I saw such a warden!
In the past, after Liu Xiu won the award, although she didn't hold back when she turned on the disco mode, she was able to forcefully pretend to be aggressive in front of everyone at the beginning, maintaining a calm and casual expression.

Anyway, in his cognition, his disco mode is behind people.

This time, I can't hold back anymore!

Get the regular season MVP again! 4 consecutive MVPs!Refreshed the longest consecutive MVP record of 3 consecutive MVPs held by himself, Russell, Chamberlain, and Bird!

...

James, played in 81 games, averaged 28.8 points, 7.6 rebounds, 7.8 assists, 2 steals and 1 block per game, shooting 49% from the field, 34.4% from the three-point range, and 71.2% from the free throw... Got 21 first votes, with 20.45% ranked third in terms of total score.

Kobe, played 80 games, averaged 31 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.7 steals and 0.5 blocks per game, shooting 51% from the field, 40.2% from the three-point range, and 86% from the free throw... Got 28 first votes, with 27.14% ranked second in terms of total score.

Liu Xiu, played in 82 games, averaged 32.7 points, 7.9 rebounds, 7.3 assists, 2.86 steals and 1.06 blocks per game, shot 51.9% from the field, 41.6% from the three-point range, 2.9 three-pointers per game, and 91% from the free throw line...Take With 66 first votes and 34.2% of the total points, he won the MVP of this season's regular season.

Liu Xiu, Kobe, James, the difference in votes between the three is not big. In terms of the number of votes received, both Kobe and James have more votes than Liu Xiu, but Liu Xiu got more first votes, relying on the fact that the two competitors have two votes. Double or even triple the number of votes for the first place, stealing the MVP!

After the joke announced the awards, the basketball world shook!
This can be regarded as an 'upset', but Liu Xiu won the MVP, and not many people really think it is strange.

73 wins, scoring champion, stealing champion, 180 clubs, No. 10 in triple-double list, three [-]+ consecutive victories... This season Liu Xiu's personal data and team performance are very, very good.

Just because he has been the MVP for 3 consecutive times, not many people put him in the discussion of MVP winners.

Even the media people who voted for him didn't mention Liu Xiu much when predicting the MVP winner.

Therefore, a strange situation has emerged-the media people who voted for Liu Xiu are more "voting as they wish".

Some experts and reporters who were invited to vote felt that Liu Xiu had performed at the MVP level, and that Liu Xiu was the best performer this season, but they felt that not many people voted for him who had already been the MVP for 3 consecutive times, and then they voted for the [-]rd consecutive MVP. One vote was given to him... Everyone felt that he was the special one, and they didn't tell others.

When the mentality of the voters is known to the fans, instead of making people think they are unprofessional, on the contrary, many passers-by feel that the warden is too strong!
This has convinced the media!

You must know that even with the 3 consecutive MVPs, the Trail Blazers are still the "villain" role, and the warden is still the leader of the villain.

And the warden actually let the media against him vote for him when he felt that he couldn't get the MVP!
There are so many such reporters and experts, so many that they exceed half of the voters, so many that Liu Xiu's "jedi reversal", "big upset", and 4 consecutive MVPs!

On Liu Xiu's side, the whole team went crazy, and the fans went crazy with joy. Outside the Willamedy Garden training hall and the Rose Garden arena, they all entered the celebration mode of huge crowds of people again.

The media went crazy too. The result of this vote was beyond everyone's expectations, and the votes were voted by everyone... Hype first!

The stars who are playing in the playoffs have different reactions.

Silver Horn King praised Liu Xiu in an interview with the media, Yao Ming also started the boasting group mode, and Wang Zhizhi praised a wave more implicitly...

Some people are different. James, who has already defeated the Celtics 4-1 and advanced, refused to be interviewed.

This time he couldn't keep the smiling face that a courtesan should have at all...

On Kobe's side, at night, he soared 44 points, 18 rebounds and 4 assists, leading the Lakers to a 113-91 slaughter against the Nuggets. The Lakers advanced to the second round 4-2.

With 18 rebounds, it was Kobe's career postseason rebound high. Before that, he had 01 rebounds in a single game in the 16 playoffs against the Kings.

There was no such good luck for Beast. The day before yesterday, the Magic lost to the Pistons 5-91 in G97.

Tonight, he didn't get a single first vote, and his mentality was greatly affected, and he was very unhappy. He made 1 of 11 shots and 5 of 9 free throws. He only scored 3 points, 13 rebounds and 9 blocks.

姚明14投9中，外加7中6的罚球，拿到24分16板2助攻2盖帽，率领活塞队以91比78大胜魔术队。

4 to 2, the Pistons advanced to the second round!
