Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 692 Award attribution
May 5th was not a holiday in the simple era of 20. There would be no overwhelming dog food stuffed into your mouth, and you would not be forced to buy gifts by your girlfriend or daughter-in-law.

Ah, what a time!

On this day, after the Trail Blazers experienced a tiebreaker and eliminated the Jazz, they only rested for 1 day, and they will usher in the first game of their Western Conference finals. They will welcome the Warriors who have rested for 7 days at home.

It has to be said that the rest time of the Warriors is indeed a bit long. However, during these 7 days, the Warriors have not been resting all the time. They have also been training and other methods to maintain their own state.

However, this alone is not enough.

Due to the regular season record problem, the Warriors lost their home court advantage, and the Blazers sitting at home undoubtedly increased their chances of winning.

Speaking of records, the awards for the regular season were a bit late this season, and they were finally announced during the last round.

The announcement of this year's awards undoubtedly attracted a lot of attention.

Due to the overall lagging record and data, Li Weisi's MVP voting rate this year is only 19.9%, ranking second, only 0.8% behind Elvin Johnson, who is ranked third.

As for the winner of the MVP, it is naturally Michael Jordan who led the team to the league's No. 31.5, won the scoring title in the regular season, averaged 6 points, 5.5 rebounds and 35.7 assists per game, and had a [-]% voting rate.

It is worth mentioning that this is also the second MVP that Jordan has won. It can be said that in the MVP award alone, Jordan has already caught up with Li Weisi, and the next big honor is only two FMVPs away.

In addition to the ownership of the most important MVP, Dpoy still belongs to Dennis Rodman.

To be honest, there is a huge controversy about this award. Since the Warriors' defensive efficiency has actually declined this year, there are many voices saying that this award cannot be given to Rodman.

Unfortunately, it may be the lag of the news, or Rodman's image is too popular, which led to Rodman finally winning by less than 1% in the voting results, and David Robinson ranked second. Got 27% turnout.

In addition, Dumars and Erwin Robertson are also above 20%, and the competition can be said to be quite fierce.

In addition, the most important best team, a team: Li Weisi, Jordan, Barkley, Karl Malone and David Robinson.

Second Team: Elvin Johnson, Drexler, Mullin, Wilkins and Patrick Ewing.

Three teams: Kevin Johnson, Joe Dumars, Bernard King, Worthy and Olajuwon.

All-Defensive First Team: Dumars, Jordan, Rodman, Buck Williams and David Robinson.

The defensive second team is: Stockton, Dumars, Pippen, Larry Nance and Olajuwon.

Rookie of the Year was awarded to Derek Coleman of the Nets, and Most Improved Player was awarded to Petrovic of the Nets.

After joining the Nets, Petrovic soared from an average of 7.6 points per game to an average of 18.7 points and 3.3 assists per game. It can be said that the most improved player deserves his name.

As for the best rookie lineup, the team is: Dee Brown, Gary Payton, Dennis Scott, Derek Coleman, Lionel Simmons.

Second team: Mohammed Ulf, Tyrese Mays, Kendall Gill, Willie Burton, Felton Spencer.

Finally, there is the best sixth man, which belongs to former Warriors general Detref Schramf, who also came out of the Warriors.

After coming to the Pacers, Schramf averaged 16.1 points and 8 rebounds per game this season.

Coach of the Year went to Phil Jackson, who won the honor in his second year in charge.

At 19:30 in the evening, the game officially started.

"Welcome to watch the first game of the NBA Western Conference Finals on time, the Trail Blazers vs. Warriors at home..." Dick Stockton said passionately to the camera, still speaking in his familiar voice.

"Billy, for tonight's game, which side do you prefer?" After briefly introducing the situation of the game, Dick Stockton turned the topic to the commentator beside him, Billy Cunningham .

Hubie Brown, who had partnered with Stockton for two years before, had switched to TNT before the end of the season, so that in the playoffs, the TV station invited Cunningham to continue to partner with him.

In fact, Cunningham and Stockton can be regarded as old partners, and they have been commenting together in the past two years, but there are fewer games in the commentary. The main reason is that Hubie Brown and Stockton have played together in the past two years. The partner is more praised by the audience.

In fact, Cunningham's professional knowledge is no worse than Brown's, and even better.

High school superstar, North Carolina, No. 87 pick, was selected into the NBA Hall of Fame, has won championships as a player and as a coach, and even invested in a Miami team in [-], and this team was the Heat .

It can be said that in terms of comprehensiveness, he is even more comprehensive than Larry Bird.

This is such a person, if you say that he doesn't know how to play football, it is tantamount to saying that he is a fat man who doesn't know how to play football.

It’s just that although Cunningham’s commentary is also the top in the country, people seem to like Hubie Brown more in comparison. One of them is that Cunningham is a bit unobjective, especially when he is commenting on the Warriors. It is simply the biggest Li Chui!

"Of course it's the Warriors!" Sure enough, when Cunningham opened his mouth, Li Chui's smell was so strong.

"Why do you say that?" Stockton asked knowingly.

"We all know that the reason why the Warriors have a poor record is inseparable from West's injury. In addition, judging from the performance of the playoffs, the Warriors only lost one game in total in the two rounds, and they are in good condition. Performance, it can be seen that there is still a huge gap between the Blazers and the Warriors." Cunningham talked eloquently.

"But the regular season record of the two teams is 3:2, and the Blazers have the upper hand! Does this mean that the Blazers still have the strength to fight?" Stockton continued.

"The regular season is different from the playoffs, and the head-to-head record doesn't mean much. The playoffs and the regular season are not the same kind of competition. It can be said that the performance of the regular season cannot be used as an evaluation of the playoffs. A proof of performance."

"Then how many games do you think the Warriors can use to win this round of the series?" Stockton said without hesitation.

"6 games, 5 games if you're lucky!" Cunningham said confidently.

"Are you so confident?"

"Of course, the strength of the Blazers this season will not be much stronger than the Lakers!"

"That's it! Then let me wait and see!"
