Chapter 714 Best Defensive Player

After the game, Raptors coach Casey attended the press conference together with Ying Xiong and Jeremy Lin.At the press conference, Casey admitted that it was Ying Xiong's outstanding performance that helped the team finally win the first game of the series at home.

When a reporter asked Ying Xiong if he was sure of winning the championship, Ying Xiong said that the championship has never been so easy to get, and he has the confidence to compete for the championship, and he does not think that winning the championship is justified. As it should be.

On April 4, the second game of the series between the Raptors and the Nets will continue at the Air Canada Center Arena.In this game, for the Nets, if they don't want to return to the home court with a total score of 22:2, this game needs to be won.

In this game, the Nets made a change. Bogdanovic, who was blown up by Ying Xiong in the last game, was replaced by Markell Brown.

For the Nets, if the lineup remains unchanged, there seems to be no possibility of winning; and changing the lineup can eventually bring a glimmer of hope, although the hope is also very slim.

Markell Brown's task is to entangle the Raptors star Ying Xiong from beginning to end, in order to consume the opponent's physical strength.

But hope is beautiful, reality is cruel.Markell Brown has accumulated 3 fouls in the first quarter and can only sit on the court to rest.In the whole game, he was sent off for a total of 3 fouls in 6 quarters, which completely failed the wish of the Nets coaching staff.

In this game, the Nets still didn't have any chances, and they lost even worse than the previous game.Jack and Anderson, who performed bravely in the last game, were targeted by their opponents in this game and did not play a hot performance.

In this way, the Raptors won the second home game and led by a total score of 2:2 in this round of the series.

On April 4, the NBA officially announced the winners of the best defensive player of the season.The Chinese national player from the Toronto Raptors, Ying Xiong, beat Spurs defensive champion Kawhi Leonard, Warriors inside defensive pillar Draymond Green and other league defensive champions to win this honor.

This is the first time Ying Xiong has won this award in his career, and it also subverts the stereotype that "yellow people are not good at defense".And he is also the second outside player to win this award after Michael Jordan over the years.

For the Raptors and Ying Xiong himself, the situation in the team series is very good, and the core won the honor of the best defensive player, which can be described as "double happiness".

Ying Xiong is still very excited about receiving this award, and he attaches great importance to this award.For him, being able to win this award represents the official recognition of his defense.And his own award has a deeper meaning. The NBA finally admitted that people of yellow race can also win the "Best Defensive Player" award.

In the NBA, people of the yellow race have always been labeled as "poor defense" and "soft". With the birth of Ying Xiong, the people of the yellow race finally have a golden business card in professional sports.

On April 4, G26, the first round of the playoffs between the Raptors and the Nets, will be moved to New York.This game must be won for the Nets who are already behind by a big score of 3:0.Otherwise, the only thing waiting for them is to be out.

The outside world has long since paid no attention to the outcome of this round of the series.It's not because the Raptors have low attention, but it's true that the suspense in this round of the series is too small.

In the eyes of most media people, the probability of the Nets wanting to reverse and win is lower than that of winning the lottery.At most, they can steal 1-2 wins.The biggest possibility is that they were swept by the Raptors.

In this game, the Nets at home once again changed Bogdanovic back to the starting lineup.In the last game, they let Markell Brown start to deal with Xiong, and they were beaten stupidly.In this game, their coaching staff dare not be stupid again. Even if they can't win the game, they can't be mistaken by the outside world for their IQ problem.

The Nets back at home can be said to be working hard. In fact, they are working very hard, trying to win a victory over the Raptors who have won two consecutive championships in the past.However, the situation at the scene is that it is difficult for them to do so.

Deron is no longer the Jazz's Deron, and singles Joe is not the Eagles' singles Joe.Wanting to rely on a substitute player like Jack to fight against core players who are all No. [-] in the league during their playing years is tantamount to hitting a stone with a pebble.

The Nets have no match for Shang Yingxiong, and they can't even guard against DeRozan and Jeremy Lin.Therefore, even if they returned to the home court, the momentum was like a rainbow, and the referees were conscientious and well-organized, but they still couldn't change the result.

In the end, the Raptors made another victory in the away game, rewriting the total score of the series to 3:0.

The series fell behind 0:3. For the Nets, their journey to the playoffs this season has basically come to an end.

Fans of the Nets don't have much regret. Anyone with a normal mind can see that there is a huge gap in the strength of the two teams, which cannot be smoothed out by the fiery touch of one or two players.

If Ying Xiong and Bogdanovic switch, then the Nets will advance.But there is no such thing as if in this world.

The series leads the Nets 3:0, but the Raptors players and coaches don't see much joy on their faces.For them, winning the first round is not such a remarkable achievement.This team started from the summer operation with only one goal, which is the championship.

On April 4, the NBA officially announced the winner of the best coach of the season.Coach Steve Kerr of the Golden State Warriors received the honor.

Steve Kerr led the Golden State Warriors to a 67-15 record this season.This record helped them rank first in the Western Conference and second only to the Toronto Raptors in the entire league.

When the news came out, it was immediately fermented in the media circle.Some media reporters and NBA celebrities questioned the fairness of Cole being the best coach, on the grounds that Raptors coach Devin Casey led the team to the league's first record of 70 wins and 12 losses.

The NBA officially explained this situation. The main reason for their explanation is that after Steve Kerr served as the head coach of the Warriors, he improved the team's record of 51 wins and 31 losses last season to 67 wins and 15 losses. .

After learning the news, the Raptors players were also very angry. They collectively said that if they meet the Warriors in the finals, they must give each other a good look and vent their anger on Coach Casey.

Ying Xiong believes that after this incident, the concentration of these teammates who are a little tired of winning the championship can be improved, which is not a bad thing.

On April 4th, in the first round of the playoffs against the Nets in G28, the Raptors once again defeated their opponents away, swept the opponent with a total score of 4:4, and became the first to advance to the playoffs 0nd round team.
