Chapter 360 Highlights!
Curry held a press conference. Presti and the Hornets players all supported him on the spot. Curry stood on the stage to receive the trophy. He was choked up before the reporters. MVP is the highest honor for a basketball player. Curry never thought that he would be able to win him one day.

Adjusting his emotions, Curry said: "I am a little nervous. This is a great honor. First of all, I want to thank my Lord Jesus Christ, thank you for giving me the talent to play this sport, and thank you for giving me the constant support of my family. At this moment, I am Your humble servant. Words cannot describe how important my faith is to me in this sport and in my self-knowledge.

Then Curry thanked his family and his younger brother, and then Curry continued: "I never thought that one day I could pick him up. Please allow me to invite our teammates. Without them, I can't pick him up at all. This is the honor of our entire Hornets!"

When Curry's voice fell, all the Hornets players who came to this press conference, including the management, stood up, stepped onto the stage, and stood behind Curry!At this time, there was thunderous applause!It makes sense that Curry is liked by so many people!
Then Curry thanked Presti and said: Presti, you chose me, you saw my potential, and now I think back to what you said to me alone, it’s still so unbelievable, you took a risk and chose a skinny kid from a small school.I want to thank you for your trust in me, and even more for your training in me!We've been going all these years, it's been crazy, I just want to thank you, I can't say enough more thanks for your decision! "

After that, Curry thanked his teammates, management, etc. one by one!Curry thanked almost everyone in the Hornets!

After the press conference, the reporter caught Paul George and asked: "Curry's voting score is only slightly higher than yours, and finally won the MVP! How did you feel when you saw Curry holding it up?"

After the Hornets achieved a historic record, the popularity of the Hornets has reached its peak. No matter which media it is, they always want to catch some heat, especially once they dig out some contradictions of the Hornets and get some news, it will definitely increase the traffic!

But when Presti built the culture of the Hornets, he put harmony first. The current players of the Hornets, except for Jimmy Butler, were all good men in their previous lives!And even Jimmy Butler kept himself safe before reaching that ability, not to mention that now the Hornets need attention and attention, and they need a record!
Paul George said with a smile after hearing this: "Of course I have feelings. Curry deserves his name! The reason why I played well this season is that Curry's involvement in defense is a very important reason. I am happy for him!"

Then the reporter asked various topics, trying to provoke conflicts, but Paul George answered them perfectly.The reporter was a little disappointed, but did not intend to give up, and then went to interview Curry, and Curry said with a smile: "George has a lot of credit for my MVP. Without him, I can't play so comfortably. He has given me a lot of defensive pressure. The arrows of the opposing team are all defended by him. Can you imagine me defending the No. 1 position like Russell or Paul?"

Then Curry said: "Paul George will definitely win the MVP next season!" The reporter left disappointed, and the atmosphere inside the Hornets was far better than he imagined!

The Eastern Conference teams played equally fiercely in the playoffs!The Knicks finally beat the Celtics 4:2!I have to say that the Celtics and the Lakers are facing the same problem this season. The team is too old and can't keep up, which leads to poor defense.

Garnett is 37 years old!He is no longer the defensive deterrent in the penalty area. Now he is slow, and the speed of the defense can't keep up. Pierce is already 36. He plays on the floor. The offense is okay, but the defense is very good. He can't stop Anthony's attack at all!

On the contrary, the Knicks are strong and strong, center Chandler, the defense of the penalty area is full of deterrence, although power forward Stoudemire is not as brave as before, he can also hand over the data of 19.8 points per game, and there is also a super sixth man JR Smith!Of course, the more important thing is that there is a kaleidoscope Anthony!Although Anthony's singles often hurt the team a little in the regular season, they are very useful in the playoffs!When the team enters a scoring drought, Anthony can always succeed in singles!

The other game was much easier, the Heat beat the Bulls 4:1!Although Rose has not been reimbursed this season, Rose, who was affected by injuries, played somewhat mediocre under the heavy siege of the Heat, but there is no way, the current Bulls play is one person playing four defenses!Although iron-blooded defense, except for Rose, who has almost no independent offensive ability, the Bulls' offense is driven by Rose!

Therefore, the Heat focused on pinching Rose. In the end, except for the accident of winning, Rose averaged 21.5 points, 5 rebounds and 5.8 assists in the four games he lost. It looked good, but his shooting percentage was only 37.9%.
On May 5th, the much-anticipated Western Conference finals match began!The tiebreaker between the Thunder and the Hornets last year was impressive, and it was not rated as the most exciting Western Conference Finals in 19 years!And this season is still the Hornets and Thunder, the difference is that this year's Hornets have achieved a historic 10-win regular season record and become even stronger!

Before the game, the media commented: "If there is anyone who can hinder the 73-win Hornets, then only the Thunder! The Thunder can't lose to the Hornets in all configurations. The only worry is whether the Thunder's substitute can last during the rotation period!"

Of course, some media said: "The Hornets are stronger this season! They are much stronger than last year. In this offseason, the core of the Hornets' championship has not been dismantled, but has strengthened several positions! The Thunder can win two games at most!"

·······
Presti said modestly in an interview before the game: "The regular season is different from the playoffs. In terms of the ability to attack at critical moments, it is clear that the Thunder will not lose to any team! Our players must go all out to win the game!"

Hornets starters: Curry, Thompson, Paul George, Green, Davis.

Thunder starting: Westbrook, Matthews, Durant, Ibaka, Jordan Jr.

Although the Thunder didn't have much reinforcement this season, the chemistry between them is better, and the cooperation is getting better and better. Presti knows the heights these players can reach in their previous lives, and their tacit cooperation will be a very scary thing!
并且这个赛季杜兰特场均28.1分7.9篮板4.6助攻，命中率高达51％，生涯新高！而威斯布鲁克场均23.5分6.7篮板9.2助攻命中率46％同样生涯新高，进步最大的詹姆斯哈登已经能拿下21.3分4篮板6助攻！伊巴卡和小乔丹这对内线搭档更是再上一层楼，限制对方命中率联盟第一！

The Thunder win the jump ball, Westbrook leads the left side of the frontcourt, Ibaka plays a low post, and hits Green after receiving the ball!This season, Ibaka not only improved his mid-range shooting percentage, but also increased his low-post singles, turning around and throwing shots!Got it!

Green's defense has not evolved to the top level, and the ball is too deep, it is really difficult to defend!
The Hornets attack, Curry leads the frontcourt to Green, and Green holds the ball in the middle, waiting to run against him!Davis dropped low to attract defense, Curry, Thompson, and Paul George ran!Thompson went around the space, caught the ball and made a swing, Ibaka made up directly and gave up Green!Pass the ball back to Green immediately!

Green was emptied as soon as he came up!Resolutely vote!Miss!Westbrook got the rebound and counterattacked!Really fast, can't catch up, hit a layup! 4:0
Curry takes the top of the frontcourt and lands, Davis picks and rolls in the middle, and Green's bottom corner is ready to slip to the bottom line!Curry attracted Jordan to switch defenses and passed the ball to the middle.Davis takes the ball to face Westbrook!There is a height advantage, directly gain two points!With 4:2!

In fact, it would be better for Davis to cut the ball down, because Davis's long two-point shooting percentage is not high, but facing Westbrook, with such a height advantage, he is still decisive!
Westbrook went to the frontcourt, and Durant came out to catch the ball!After getting the ball, Jordan came over to cover!With the help of cover, move sideways one step and shoot directly!There are too!The Thunder's tactics are very simple, that is, the offense is Shuang Shaolun!Of course, this tactic is also extremely effective. With the two offensive strengths of Westbrook and Durant, there is no need to play too complicated!
Green organized at the top of the arc, Curry came over, hand-to-hand to catch the ball, and wanted to make a shot, but this time Westbrook quickly squeezed over, Green immediately slid down, Ibaka helped defend, and then split the bottom corner Thompson, Thompson caught the ball and shot directly without the slightest hesitation!Have!

This ball is actually not a good opportunity, but for Thompson, it is the same whether there was a defender the year before last.
The Thunder attacked, the Hornets defended man-to-man, Thompson defended Westbrook, and Curry played against Matthews!Curry's physical condition is too bad to defend Westbrook. Although Thompson is hard to defend, he can delay and slow down the speed!

Jordan came over to pick and roll Westbrook, who forced his way into the basket from the left, and the Hornets shrank.Man-to-man can also shrink the penalty zone. In fact, the biggest shortcoming of the Thunder is the outside projection. In fact, it is really no wonder that the Thunder has no tactics, offensive constipation, lack of space, and lack of independent offensive ability. Don’t expect to be able to use it in singles.
Davis moved forward, while Thompson chased from behind, and the two double-teamed!Westbrook's vision is very good, and Matthews immediately points to the outside line!After Matthews received the ball, Curry quickly returned to his position, but obviously Matthews didn't pay attention to Curry, so he got up and pulled it up!Miss!

Facing the defender and pulling directly, this is a giant planet. In his previous life, Matthews was such a confident player, and he often hit giant planets!And often on top!Sometimes pit, sometimes god!

Davis took the defensive rebound and gave it to Curry. When they beat the Nuggets, Presti let the team practice high-post delay tactics!

At this time, Curry quickly led the frontcourt to the top of the arc on the right. Green was behind Curry and decisively used his physical advantage to delay Westbrook!This made it impossible for Westbrook to go back and continue to defend Curry. At this time, Curry can face Jordan directly, and Jordan will fall into the disadvantage of not being able to keep up with Curry in speed and mobility!
At this time, Westbrook gave up Green and went back to defend Curry!When Westbrook went to pounce on Curry, the Thunder's inside line was empty, and at the same time Green was emptied. Even if Curry didn't single Jordan, he could still give the ball to Green who was running down!

At this time, even if the Thunder players wanted to defend, only Matthews, who was weak, was alone to face the difficulty of attacking from both sides. Green was watching and Paul George was ready to catch the ball. Then Curry chose to step back and directly hit a large three-pointer! !

Here Westbrook leads the frontcourt and continues to Durant!Durant moved to the left position with the ball, facing Paul George, continuous crossover!Change direction drastically, shake the space, and rush in!Although he went in, Paul George was still chasing after him!Green also came quickly to help defend!Immediately outside Ibaka!

empty!Ibaka takes the ball and makes a three-pointer!Hit! !

This season, Ibaka's three-point shooting percentage is 35.1%, which is a good shooting percentage, but he only throws 0.7 per game!Very few shots!Forcing Ibaka to take a three-pointer this season has proved the success of the defense!So Presti has no plans to change tactics!
Hornets battle, Curry slowly dribbled to the frontcourt to protect the ball, while Green and Paul George also followed Curry slowly, seemingly doing nothing, but at the top of the arc on the left, Paul George and Green also stopped at the same time and suddenly set up a cover. It was like a single high-post delay, and the Thunder players barely reacted.

The tacit cooperation between Paul George and Green helped Curry create a very good screen opportunity. At this time, Westbrook was blocked. It is almost impossible for him to defend Curry first by bypassing Durant and then by Green. At the same time, because the timing of the screen was very sudden, the Thunder's two insiders, Jordan and Ibaka, had no time to react to the delay.

Westbrook stepped forward to defend Curry's shot, but because it was a double screen, it was too difficult to make up the defense. Even though he tried his best to bypass Paul George's screen and go up to make up, Green's screen was another wall.

This is also a new tactic, high-position double-delay tactics, of course they are all designed for Curry!Only a sharpshooter like Curry can play such a tactic!Thunder is a little confused at this time!Did not interfere with Curry's shooting twice in a row!
Westbrook leads the frontcourt, Durant stands at the top of the arc on the left, and Jordan goes to cover!Break through screen left!Thompson went around the screen and chased after him, because Jordan didn't have a threat to shoot, so Davis was standing under the basket at first!At this time, Westbrook rushed, and Davis stepped forward decisively, forming a flank attack!
The hit was given to Jordan, and the connection from Westbrook and Jordan, Jordan who took the ball took two steps to catch the ball and wanted to fly a dunk!At this time, Green had already come over and stood up!Snapped!Green was knocked out of the bottom line, beep!Whistle, offensive foul!Hornets right to the ball!

The Thunder fell into a scoring drought and immediately called a timeout!
