Legend of Tomorrow

As predicted by experts, the Suns had no pressure against the Lakers and easily won consecutive games at home, leading 2-0.

Their play style was the same as against the Lakers in the regular season, with a 122 zone defense blocking the penalty area, double-teaming Kobe in the low post to force him to score, or allowing Lakers players to shoot from mid- to long-range.

After Smush Parker was eliminated, Artest was the most accurate starting three-pointer for the Lakers, shooting 36.1% and averaging 1.8 shots per game. Followed by Kobe, shooting 35.7% from the field and hitting 2 shots.

The Suns play a three-point game. The starting substitutes all have shooters with a three-point shooting percentage of over 40%. They can also create a lot of openings and easy shooting opportunities.

Both Guo Xu and Roy can switch between with and without the ball, while Marion and Stoudemire can create opportunities for outside teammates through air cuts and clearance from the basket. They can score points in Sun position battles and counterattacks.

The Lakers were defeated by 38 points in the first game, and the Suns made 20 three-pointers.

In the second game, Zen Master Jackson decided to guard Guo Xu alone and strictly guard against others. As a result, Guo Xu scored 47 points and 6 assists, hit 9 three-pointers, and defeated the Lakers' three No. 1 positions and Vujacic.

Many people on the Lakers tried to defend Guo Xu alone, and Kobe also defended him for several rounds, but it was completely ineffective.

Guo Xu will run without the ball with Kobe, looking for inside cover to escape. When Kobe finally caught up, he found that Guo Xu passed the ball to Roy and asked him to challenge Ellis with the ball. That was also a misplacement.

ESPN experts commented on the game and said: The Suns have no doubts about winning the championship this season. They are an All-Star team. The starting four have super scoring ability. No team can guard them.

Barkley commented on Roy. The rookie Roy acquired from the trade between the Suns and the Timberwolves is very good. His style fits the team's system and can replace the original Joe Johnson. I think Roy is no worse than Joe Johnson now. He always plays very smart. If given He has enough shooting opportunities and he can become a player averaging 20+ per game.

Many media began to praise Roy, and his popularity steadily increased. Regular season awards were announced, and he was elected the best rookie without any suspense.

He played 29 minutes, averaging 15.2 points, 3.7 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal per game, shooting 47.1% from the field and 37.7% from the three-point range. Among the rookies, only Bobcats small forward Adam Morrison has played more minutes than Roy. His efficiency is completely incomparable to Roy.

As a high-ranking rookie handpicked by Jordan, the Bobcats management has high hopes for Morrison. The coaching staff focuses on cultivating him,

He averaged 29.8 minutes per game, 11.8 points, 2.9 rebounds and 2.1 assists, shooting 37.6% from the field and 33.7% from the three-point range.

Just because a player performs well in the NCAA does not mean he can become a star in the NBA, because the intensity of competition in the NCAA is too low. In college, Morrison could calmly take the ball and make moves, using skillful techniques to play in singles. After entering the NBA, once the tall swingman got close to him, it was difficult for him to find a familiar shooting rhythm with the ball.

The overall rookie class of 2006 was so miserable that they could barely make up two All-Rookie lineups. Morrison was also selected to the All-Rookie First Team, and there was really no competition.

The Rookie of the Year second team is a group of rookies whose scoring statistics are not in double figures, such as Walter Herman, who Guo Xu does not remember. Lowry was selected to the second team, averaging 7.7 points and 3.8 assists per game, shooting 43% from the field. He often played garbage time.

The best sixth man is the Bulls' Ben Gordon, who averaged 19.6 points, 3 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game, shooting 45.5% from the field and 41.3% from the three-point range. He is the team's second scoring point, second only to Jason Richardson with 20.2 points, but he is indeed a substitute and only played 26 starts.

Ben Gordon, who is 191cm tall, prefers the No. 2 position in his playing style. If he plays with Hinrich, Hinrich will have to defend the shooting guard, so he is not suitable for starting unless the opponent is the Nuggets.

The Most Improved Player Award went to Danny Granger of the Spurs. He was just a marginal player in the 76ers. After joining the Spurs, he became an important rotation and was promoted to the starter in the second half. The more he played, the better he got. He averaged 29 minutes per game, scored 13.3 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists, shooting 45.3% from the field and 40.4% from the three-point range.

Bruce Bowen is getting old, and the Spurs management is considering trading him out of the team in the summer to replace him with young players to strengthen the lineup and focus on training Granger to make him the starting small forward.

As long as there is a better replacement, the Spurs management will not be merciful. In Guo Xu's previous life, they packaged Oberto and traded Bowen, and exchanged young small forward Richard Jefferson from the Bucks.

D'Antoni won the Best Coach Award again, which was an unexpected surprise. If he wins the award again in the future, he will be comparable to many famous players three times in his career.

The Suns have a record-breaking record this year. If there are no awards, it will appear that the selection is biased. D'Antoni is taking advantage of Guo Xu's inability to win the MVP again.

The best defensive player was won by Garnett of the Timberwolves. This was the second time in his career that he won the best defensive player award, which was different from his previous fate. The last time he failed in the MVP competition with Guo Xu in 2004, he got this consolation prize.

Garnett is really capable of winning the best defense. If reporters voted for Camby of the Nuggets, it would be a big joke. Camby's single defense is often beaten. If he doesn't play, Nene and Martin will be more efficient defensively. When Camby leaves, people will sooner or later discover something magical. Whichever team he goes to, the defensive efficiency of that team will decrease, while the Nuggets' defensive efficiency will greatly increase with his departure.

But now, many people believe that Camby is a defensive warrior, even some coaches think so.

All-Defensive First Team: Kobe, Bruce Bowen, Garnett, Duncan, Marcus Camby.

Defensive second team: Hinrich, Kidd, Tayshaun Prince, Josh Smith, Ben Wallace.

No one from the Suns, which ranked seventh in the league in defensive efficiency, was selected. Players' playing time was generally a bit short and their defensive data was also poor, so people ignored them.

The regular season MVP was won by LeBron James.

All-NBA first team: Guo Xu, Kobe, James, Duncan, Stoudemire.

Second team: Arenas, Nash, Nowitzki, Garnett, Yao Ming.

Third team: Billups, Wade, Anthony, Boozer, Dwight Howard.

After reading the award results, Guo Xu felt that it would be difficult for the Heat to form the Big Three in the future, and the historical trend would change dramatically.

Wade had no championship, no FMVP, and had never proven himself in 2006. However, James won the regular season MVP first and reached the finals. There is a gap in their current status. Will James still be willing to go to Miami and play brother basketball with him?

In addition, the Raptors have played very poorly this year, and Bosh's outstanding statistics are like a brush. Unless he proves himself in the playoffs, at least reaching the second round, it will be difficult to obtain the evaluation of a giant.

If he didn't play brother basketball, it would be really difficult for James to win the championship. Even if he won the MVP and entered the finals, his current personal ability may not be better than Kobe's.

Although the Lakers couldn't beat the Suns, Kobe's performance in the playoffs was very eye-catching, and his ability reached the peak of his career, averaging 30.3 points, 5.7 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game, shooting 46.9% from the field and 35.7% from the three-point range.

The Lakers' offense is better than last season and they play very smoothly. They can't win because the Suns' offense is more powerful.

In order to defeat the Suns, the Lakers coaching staff repeatedly studied game videos and practiced offensive and defensive tactics. They don't want to lose, but losing in the series is acceptable. They don't want to be swept by the Suns for two consecutive years.

Being defeated by the same team many times in a row will affect the players' mentality, and it will become more and more difficult to win in the future.

On the 12th, the third battle between the two sides will start at Staples...
