NBA: Start the water cooler and reach the Hall of Fame

As time goes by, the NBA regular season awards are reduced to the last two heavyweight awards, MVP and best coach. However, at the end of the season, most media predict that this year's Bulls will become the regular season winners. The biggest winner, winning these two important honors.

Before the MVP was announced, the results of several other semifinals were also announced.

The Bulls defeated the Boston Celtics 4-2 in the second round. Doc Rivers chose to let go at the end of the season, intending to avoid the Heat's Big Three in the second round of the playoffs. However, God has eyes and avoided it. The Green Army, which started the Heat's Big Three, did not avoid the result of a second-round trip. Being taken away by the league's No. [-] team was considered a loss.

In competitive sports, people are afraid before the game even starts. This is a naked surrender without a fight, and psychologically they are a head shorter than the opponent. How can the team's strength be fully utilized in this way?

What's more, compared to the Big Three of the Heat, the Bulls, who reached 62 wins in the regular season, are not far behind. Rivers' capsize is not unjust at all.

In the West, the Dallas Mavericks, led by German tank Dirk Nowitzki, swept the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers 4-0. The result of this series was surprising!

Although the depth of the Lakers' lineup is not as deep as when they won the championship, the team's two core players, Kobe and Gasol, are still there. In the eyes of most people, they can at least compete with the Mavericks, even if they lose. Maybe he was reluctant to lose, but there was absolutely no way he could lose so easily!

Furthermore, Nowitzki has always been called a softie, which has caused most people to look down on him. A big man nearly seven feet tall, his main way of scoring is to act like a shooting guard on the outside. Shooting, how can we win the championship with this style of play?

And history also proves that whether it was the 06 finals or the first round of 07 when he was hacked, the hat of softie was firmly placed on the driver's head, which invisibly deepened people's impression of him.

As for another matchup in the Western Conference, the Thunder and Grizzlies fought fiercely for 7 games. Although the Grizzlies, led by the Black and White Bears, have never been considered a championship team, they are every championship contender. The team would have a headache when they saw it.

Want to win the championship?Okay, let me bite off a layer of skin first!

This sentence vividly describes the Grizzlies' position in the Western Conference. No team can say that they can securely win these beasts.

However, this round of the series was ultimately won by the more talented Thunder. In the series tiebreaker, Durant made 9 of 4 three-pointers and scored 39 points to lead the team through danger. This was also the first time in the career of the Thunder's three young players. Western Conference Finals.

After the opponents of the two conference finals were announced one after another, the NBA's best coach of the 2010-2011 season and regular season MVP were also announced!

Coach of the Season, Bulls Tom Thibodeau.

Regular season MVP, Chicago Bulls star, Derrick Rose!

Although most people thought that there was no suspense about these two awards, when the results were announced, it still became explosive news!

Because Rose has officially become the youngest regular season MVP in history by virtue of his record of winning the regular season MVP in his third year in the NBA!

And many media believe that this record will be difficult to break for a long time, because generally speaking, the teams that can get the No. [-] pick are some tank teams. They want to take a team that was still competing for the No. [-] pick two years ago. The team has been brought to the forefront of the league, and the number one pick is still very strong. This possibility is really small!

It is worth mentioning that the voting results for MVP and Best Coach were also announced at the same time.

MVP winner Derrick Rose received 121 of the 113 first-place votes, with a total of 1182 points and a scoring rate of 97.7%.

Li Kaiming appeared in second place on the ranking list. He received 3 first-place votes and scored a total of 643 points.

What’s next is even more speechless. During the offseason, LeBron James of the Heat, who formed an unprecedented Big Three and was known as the public enemy of all ugliness, actually received 4 first-place votes. The number of first-place votes was more than that of Li Kaiming. There are still more, but the second and third votes are less, and the total score is only 522 points!

This has to make people sigh. If James' media connection is the second in history, I am afraid no one would dare to claim to be the first in history!

At the age of 26, he has not even reached the peak of his career. He went to Miami to form the Big Three, did this kind of thing, and formed this lineup. As a result, he was not even ranked first in the Eastern Conference during the regular season, but he still got 4 first-place votes!

Li Kaiming even suspected that if the Heat won the first place in the league, reporters like MVP would really be able to give James...

If Anthony Davis, the thick-browed brother of later generations, is the "son of America", then it would be no exaggeration to call LeBron James the "father of America" ​​with this kind of treatment.

Just seeing this treatment, Jordan shed tears and Kobe was heartbroken. If you don't change, you are not Durant.

It is recommended that a portrait of James be added behind the statue of Lincoln on Presidential Hill in America, otherwise this would be unjustifiable.

In the voting rankings for the best head coach, the winner Thibodeau received 121 of the 76 first-place votes, and the second-ranked Wizards coach Flip Saunders received 31 first-place votes. It can be seen that many people believe that Sanders can bring the Wizards from the bottom of the Eastern Conference to the third place in the Eastern Conference, and he is worthy of being the best coach.

It's a pity that his opponent is stronger than him, and the record of leading the team to the first place in the league is too hard.

After the MVP was announced, Li Kaiming immediately called his good senior to congratulate him on winning the first MVP of his career.

It can be seen that Rose was also very happy after winning the MVP, and he talked more on the phone.

“Come to me in Chicago after the season is over and we’ll celebrate then!”

Hearing Rose's kind invitation, Li Kaiming's mind immediately flashed to the scene of drinking with Rose. He had a strong sense of immersion and his temples began to hurt!

So he immediately changed the subject, "Celebration is necessary, but I think aspiring young people like us should do something that can let our ideals fly during the offseason!"

"for example?"

"Like training together?" Li Kaiming said into the phone with a questioning tone.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and then Ross's answer came.

"Okay, I'll come find you after I finish the playoffs!"

After receiving a positive answer, Li Kaiming hung up the phone and showed a speechless expression to the black man next to him who was dancing with excitement.

"I said, can you be more normal? Why don't you just ask Senior Ross to train together? I'm so happy that you're back to your ancestors!"

Elliott Williams, who was jumping up and down next to him, rolled his eyes and then patted Li Kaiming on the shoulder.

"You kid don't understand. Although I am also a direct disciple of Senior Ross, our relationship is not as good as the two of you. If I invite him to train together, he will most likely reject it. If I ask you to take action, then bring me with you." Me, that’s different. I really want to learn ball-handling skills from him. He has made great progress in controlling movement in the few years he has been in the league. Being able to train with him will definitely help me a lot!”

Li Kaiming shook his head and turned to glance at Williams, "A person with such great skills is sitting in front of you and you don't want to learn from him. Do you have to imitate Derrick Rose in a roundabout way?"

"Oh! My good brother! You really know how to joke! Should I learn from you? What should I learn? Learn how to dunk from the free throw line or rush in and dunk Dwight Howard on the backcourt? Or how to stand up against Kevin Garnett's defense? Outside line? Just let me go directly to God!"

Hearing Williams' complaints, Li Kaiming also burst into laughter!

Not to mention it's true, his style of play completely matches his physical fitness. It's really unrealistic for Williams to learn from him. Relatively speaking, Rose is indeed a good role model.

Of course, while the NBA playoffs are in full swing, the NBA's recruitment plan is also proceeding in an orderly manner.

In mid-to-late May, the results of the lottery draw also came out.

What is shocking is that the Timberwolves, who have a 25% probability of being picked first, actually missed out on the No. 8 pick and only got the second pick. The No. [-] pick was taken by the Clippers, which ranked eighth in probability!

What's even more ridiculous is that the No. [-] pick drawn by the Clippers does not belong to them, because in a trade after the All-Star Game last season, they used Baron Davis and this year's first-round unprotected pick. Draft pick acquired from Cavaliers for Mo Williams!

In this transaction that was originally an exchange of two junk contracts, it was precisely because of the Clippers general manager's enthusiasm that he gave the first-round pick to the Cavaliers without any pick protection, allowing the Cavaliers to successfully obtain the 2011 draft. No. [-] pick!

When seeing this result, Li Kaiming held a moment of silence in his heart for the Clippers owner!

If I were the boss, I would strangle the general manager!Even looking at history, this deal is very explosive.

It is worth mentioning that the New Jersey Nets have won the lottery pick for two consecutive years. It seems that the Nets have been stuck with the third pick in this life. It is recommended that they change the team to another city. New Jersey is obviously not a good lottery pick. place.

Of course, as a draft candidate from the NCAA, this year's NCAA finals is also something that Li Kaiming must pay attention to.

It is a pity that his alma mater, the University of Memphis, did not even make it to March Madness after losing its two absolute cores of him and Elliott Williams. This makes Li Kaiming a little regretful.

This year's top seeds in the four NCAA divisions did not enter the semi-finals. This is the first time since 2006. Butler University, which was defeated by Li Kaiming and others last year, won the Southwest Division championship again this year and entered the semi-finals for two consecutive years. It is a pity. Losing to the University of Connecticut in the championship game, Coach Stevens' dream of a college championship was shattered again.

After the NCAA finals are over, the entire American basketball circle has only one focus left, and that is the NBA conference finals and finals.

The Big Three of the Heat beat Derrick Rose in the Eastern Conference finals, and eventually won easily 4-1 and entered the finals. In the Western Conference, the German tank Nowitzki finally showed his fangs, averaging 32 points per game and leading 40+ points in two games. The team swept the Thunder 4-1 and reached the finals for the second time in their career.
