Chapter 454 Targeted by the whole world
The Spurs achieved 63 wins in the regular season, and the Mavericks won 60. They are recognized as the only team in the West that can challenge the Timberwolves.

It is just that these two teams, in the same state, meet in the playoffs, and they are bound to fight in the dark.

In seven games and four overtime games, none of the games has a difference of more than 5 points.

Ginobili's game 6 lore and Game 7's critical moment foul made the German tanks score two plus one, experiencing the joys and sorrows of heaven and hell.

After seven games, the Mavericks defeated the No. [-] Spurs in the Western Conference.

After Game [-], Nowitzki and Duncan hug each other.

Neither of them said anything, they just patted each other on the shoulder to show encouragement.

We both know that the game is over here and it's time to meet the Timberwolves.

Strictly speaking, they are all challengers.

The Timberwolves are the rulers of the West. They won 70 games in the regular season and have no defeat in the playoffs so far.

Just looking at this string of numbers, you can feel their strength.

Now, the Mavericks who emerged from the Texas Civil War are about to challenge the Timberwolves.

The Pistons and Cavaliers in the East also went through seven battles, and the Chosen One failed to achieve a comeback in the end.

The series played seven games, and the Cavaliers lost.

Although he didn't have the last laugh, the combat power James showed made people think about his future.

He is only in the third grade and has just turned 21 years old. It is not surprising that anything will happen to him in the future. Sooner or later, he will stand on the top of the mountain and look down on the sentient beings of the league.

时间：2006年5月24日晚上21:00。

Location: Target Center, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA.

Background: The Timberwolves won all eight games in the first two rounds of the playoffs and advanced to the Western Conference Finals.

On this day, the NBA officially announced that Bai Weidong was elected as the regular season MVP of the 2005-2006 season.

Bai Jidong became the second player in this century to win the MVP for two consecutive years.

"From the moment you entered the league, the NBA had faces from Asia for the first time, and you showed your talents to the world. This is the second time I have given you this trophy, and I believe it will not be the last. "David Stern said to Bai Jidong with a benevolent expression and an extremely magnetic (sissy) voice.

Bai Jidong endured for a long time without laughing, took the trophy from Stern, grabbed the trophy with one hand and swung upwards, the audience cheered.

"Dedicate applause to our MVP, White Wolf!" The DJ incited, and the fans immediately went into a state of madness.

Enjoying the cheers, Bai Jidong took the trophy off the court under everyone's gaze, handed it over to the staff for safekeeping, and then returned to the court to prepare for the match.

The Mavericks have a lot of acquaintances in the team, and they have also played against each other in the regular season. Everyone knows each other.

There may be some targeted secret tactics, but it will not change the overall situation.

Both sides sent their starters.The Timberwolves are the starting five in the regular season.

The Mavericks are Dirk Nowitzki, Devon Harris, Jason Terry, Josh Howard, and Desagina Diop.

"Welcome to the sports night brought by ABC TV. I'm Mike Breen." Breen said: "This Western Conference will be narrated by me and my partner, Hubie Brown, who you are all familiar with." comment."

"Mike, this is your first time commenting with me, right?" Brown had white hair, and he was just an ordinary old man thrown into the street.

Looking at Brown's resume, he knows that he is not easy at all.

Beginning in the 60s, Brown began to mix in American high school basketball, and entered college basketball in the 70s. Later, he directly coached the ABA's Kentucky Colonels and led the team to win the only ABA championship in team history.

After the merger of the two major leagues, Brown took up the NBA coach.

Last year, after Brown resigned from the team due to physical problems, he became a broadcaster.

"Hubby, this battle has drawn the attention of the entire West, what do you think?" Brin asked.

Brown talked eloquently: "Then I will start with the eliminated Spurs and Suns."

"The Spurs are good at playing positional warfare, and they control the rhythm very well. They make full use of the offensive rounds and can grasp the rhythm of the game very well." Hubie said delicately, "The Suns are good at playing fast-paced games and make full use of Barbosa. , Mario and Diaw's speed, Nash's passing, Lagabel's defense, Stoudemire's finishing ability."

Finally, Hubie's topic returned to the Mavericks: "The Mavericks are more like a combination of the two. Jason Terry has crazy performances, Harris has a solid offensive position, and handing the ball to Dirk is also a good choice; In terms of defense, their coach Avery Johnson is a complete paranoid and is extremely good at training the team's defense. Coupled with Dampier, Stackhouse, Josh Howard and others, the Mavericks undoubtedly have the strength to attack the Timberwolves. "

Hubie's words blew the calf into the sky.Brin didn't know what to say: "So, you are optimistic about the Mavericks?"

"Yes, the biggest advantage of the Mavericks is that they have already experienced blood and fire. The Timberwolves have a smooth journey. No team has brought them enough threats. I think this is a manifestation of dominance and their flaw. You can’t find a problem without failing,” Brown said.

If possible, Bai Jidong is very willing to sit down and chat with Brown about the saying "If you haven't failed, you can't find the problem".

For Bai Jidong, he would say that they have failed 15 times in the regular season, but there is no team that makes them fail No. [-] times. It's not that they don't want to fail, but that there is no team that can make them fail.

It is useless to talk more, it is better to speak with actions than to quarrel with him.Bai Jidong wiped his face with a towel, ready to go on stage.

Josh Howard walked to his side, "MVP, I will treat you well."

"Why is this so embarrassing? This is my home stadium, so I should entertain you. Don't overwhelm the host." Bai Jidong leaned closer to Howard's ear, "40 points, how about it?"

"Hmph, try it if you can!" Howard said coldly.

It may be because he hasn't played for a long time, but Olowokandi's attention is not concentrated enough. He won the ball by jumping, and also moved the ball to his own position, but he didn't choose a good position.

Like a galloping motorcycle at full speed, Terry took the racket away from Hardaway's hands, quickly caught up with the basketball, and directly dribbled the ball to attack.

Bai Weidong switched defenses in front of him, and Terry stepped back and hit a jumper.

"MVP, this is a gift for you!" Terry said, and ran back madly, with his hands outstretched, making a jet gliding gesture.

Bai Jidong smiled wryly, what happened today?Why are they all rushing at him.

Bai Jidong looked at Olowokandi and said, "Look at your good shot."

Olowokandi didn't want to stay and be scolded, so he ran back quickly.

Bai Jidong caught up with him and wanted to say a few words to him, but Olowokandi turned to avoid him.

Because the formation is fixed, Bai Jidong can't mess up the formation just to talk trash, so he can only stay where he is, "Your greeting gift is good, I accept it."

"There are better ones, just wait and see." Howard was crazy like a two hundred and five.

Hardaway dribbled the ball all the way up the frontcourt, instead of matching up too much with Harris, he asked Garnett to play a pick-and-roll.

Garnett stepped forward to get stuck and quickly ran to the basket.

Hardaway was involved in defense, and hit the ground with one hand at the right place.

Garnett received the ball comfortably, pressed Diop's body to throw, and came out of the basket.

Olowokandi hit the offensive rebound, Bai Jidong squeezed away Howard, and grabbed the rebound from a group of seven-footers.

Bai Jidong took the ball without retreating, and directly threw the ball upwards.

Garnett took off in place, grabbed the ball and dunked.The two completed their cooperation and retreated at the same time.

Hardaway ran over and said, "KG, you owe me an assist!"

"I slipped my hand just now, and I will return it to you." Garnett said.

"How?" Hardaway asked.

Garnett said: "I will grab an offensive rebound and pass it to you, and you pass it to me, and I will shoot directly."

Great plan, great idea.Hardaway clapped his hands and praised: "You are so smart, you don't look like you haven't gone to college at all."

"Penny, it's best not to say such things in front of two people who haven't gone to college." Bai Jidong said.

"No offense, don't mind." Hardaway backed away.

"If I knew I would have gone to college, what is this?" Bai Jidong was always shot for no reason because of his education.

Harris will advance and stop at the periphery. The whole world knows that he is very fast. Hardaway is also planning to prevent shots and not to prevent sudden bursts.

Harris wanted to break through his defense, but the tactics were already running.

This is a tactic that pulls the space and hands it over to the core singles.Simply put, it's a "you all go away, give the ball to Dirk, and go when the pass is over" tactic.

The weak side has been emptied, and Nowitzki has the ball at the waist and is facing Garnett.

Garnett's hands are one low and one high, preventing breakthroughs and preventing shots.

Nowitzki slowly came towards the basket, took the ball with both hands and moved down, with a touch of his footsteps, he suddenly made a shooting action.

Nowitzki's shooting ability is well known in the world, and even Garnett was deceived by this action.

Garnett was shaken, Nowitzki immediately let his body, dribble straight to the basket.

With only one dribble, no one can keep up with the big strides of the seven-footer.

Olowokandi, who was helping to defend, was too slow. Nowitzki's ball had come to the edge of the basket, and he was about to jump. How could there be time?You can only watch the ball fall into the basket from the front of your eyes.

"My friends, this is the German egg tart I gave you, please accept it!" Nowitzki took another look at Bai Jidong: "White Wolf, oh no, MVP, what do you think of the taste of the egg tart?"

Come again
Bai Jidong suddenly felt that the whole world was targeting him.

"What do you mean by these people? What do you mean by calling me MVP? Although I am indeed an MVP, it makes me uncomfortable when they call me that." Bai Jidong complained to his teammates.

Hardaway said: "Since you are a legitimate MVP, then put on your MVP posture, show your MVP strength, and teach them a lesson. Only in this way can they respect you."

"It makes sense, people who have gone to college are different." Bai Jidong completely agrees with Hardaway's words.
