Chapter 558 Regular Season MVP
The Raptors are preparing for the battle in full swing.They are still very relaxed, because they sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, no matter which team is promoted, they have home court advantage and psychological advantage.And after the series with Boston, their self-confidence is unprecedentedly high, and they have absolute confidence to face any opponent.

For the Pacers, after they won the crucial Tianwangshan battle, they won the away game in G6 two days later, thus successfully advancing to the second round.Their opponent in the second round is the No. [-] Raptors in the East.

For the Pacers, if they can pick an opponent, the defending champion Heat and the Raptors, the league's No. [-] regular season team, will naturally choose the latter.The reason is simple, because of experience, but also because of the number of superstars.No matter how good Ying Xiong is, there is only one person after all. In last year's playoffs, he showed a terrifying personal ability.But as a result, the Raptors still lost the series.The Pacers don't have the Big Three configuration like the Heat, but in terms of overall defense, they don't lose to any team.

The Raptors are not afraid of the Pacers. The two teams played against each other in the regular season, and they took advantage.The Pacers' inside and outside defenses are strong and balanced, but like the Celtics, their offensive threat is not enough.Of course, the playoffs are different from the regular season after all. Taking the regular season as a reference, the value and significance are not as great as imagined.

The first game of the second round of the playoffs between the Raptors and the Pacers will be played at the Air Canada Center, the home of the Raptors, on the evening of May 2.The Raptors with the better regular-season record will have home-court advantage.

On May 5, the NBA officially held a press conference at the Air Canada Arena, home of the Raptors, officially announcing that Chinese basketball player Ying Xiong will win the 6-2012 regular season MVP.This is the first time in Yingxiong's career to win the MVP of the NBA regular season, and he is also the first player in the history of the Raptors to win this award.

Ying Xiong won the regular season MVP trophy and became the first player in China and even in Asia to win this award.

2012-2013赛季，应雄场均可以得到33.3分8.5个篮板5.5个助攻2.9个抢断1.4个盖帽，投篮命中率53.5%，3分命中率43.0%，罚球命中率83.2%，率领着猛龙队打出了68胜14负的联盟最佳战绩。他的表现，获得常规赛MVP是当之无愧的。

In this MVP voting, Ying Xiong won 121 of the 120 first-place votes, with a total of 1207 points, which is only one vote away from completing the first-place vote Grand Slam.

Ying Xiong won the MVP of the regular season, and his influence in the United States is unimaginable.You know, Asians, especially yellow people in East Asia, have always been labeled as "smart, not good at sports". It is very special for a black man to win the MVP, which symbolizes the highest personal honor in the regular season.

Many active NBA players and retired celebrities sent congratulations, and major sports media reported the matter.Ying Xiong won the MVP of the regular season. For the NBA, it has a great impetus to their globalization strategy.You know, his country has the largest population in the world.

Ying Xiong received the regular season MVP trophy from NBA Commissioner David Stern.Under countless cameras and video cameras, Ying Xiong, who was wearing a black suit, had a happy smile on his face.For him, this is his milestone moment.

At the press conference, Ying Xiong delivered his acceptance speech: "I will never forget where I came from, where I was born, and where I grew up. I come from a small county called Nanming in China. I am the only child of my parents. To me For me, basketball means to be a young partner, let me live comfortably, and let me realize my dreams. I love basketball, but without my teammates and my coach, I can’t get to where I am today. Standing here, I would like to thank the team for trusting me so much and giving me the opportunity to show my abilities. I would like to thank my mentor in high school. Without you, Yingxiong would not be where I am today. Finally, I would like to thank my lover and thank you for your sacrifice , Your understanding, I owe you too much, I hope I can make it up for the rest of my life. I love basketball and the NBA, and I am honored to be the MVP, thank you!"

There was applause at the scene, and in China, a beautiful girl who watched this video on a computer was already in tears.

Ying Xiong's speech was modest and short, but meaningful.Everyone at the scene saw that tears had already filled his eyes.Of course, it was tears of excitement.

For Xiangxiong, winning the MVP of the regular season is certainly worth celebrating, but he knows very well that this season is far from over, and there are still more difficult battles waiting for him, and he will never back down.

On the evening of May 5th, at the Air Canada Center Arena, the first game of the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs between the Raptors and the Pacers will be held here.

The venue was already full. As the head star Ying Xiong won the regular season MVP night, no fans would like to miss such a game.

The Pacers are a hard bone. Not only the Raptors, but even the defending champion Miami Heat are unwilling to meet them.In fact, in the second round, everyone would rather play the Knicks.

Although the Raptors' appearance ceremony has been shown dozens of times in the regular season, the fans are still interested.Ying Xiong made his grand finale appearance, and the fans chanted "MVP" unanimously, and the shouting continued for a long time.

Ying Xiong was also very excited. It was hard not to be moved by such a scene.He is grateful for the love of the fans, and what he can do is to lead the team and repay everyone with a victory.

In this game, the starting lineup of the Raptors at home is: center - Valanciunas, power forward - Amir Johnson, small forward - DeRozan, shooting guard - Ying Xiong, point guard - — Jeremy Lin.Coach Casey did not put Bargnani, who performed well in the first round of the playoffs, in the starting lineup. He still let Amir Johnson, who is better in defense, play the starting 4 position as in the previous round.

The starting lineup of the Pacers in the away game is: center - Roy Hibbert, power forward - David West, small forward - Paul George, shooting guard - Lance Stephenson, point guard - George Hill.The Pacers' lineup is very stable. Since Granger was reimbursed for the season and stopped playing, the young Paul George has become the new core of the team.The team's starting lineup has almost no obvious shortcomings in terms of defense, and the defense on the inside and outside is extremely stable and excellent.

Ying Xiong quickly collected his emotions, and his eyes instantly became sharp and deep.As the leader of the team, he knows when and what to do.For the Raptors who are playing at home, this game cannot afford to lose.
