Chapter 357 The Best Defensive Player (3/5, Ask for a Monthly Pass)

Chapter 357 The Best Defensive Player (35, ask for a monthly pass)

Tang Tian said one reason, but he didn't say another reason why he wanted the Lakers to win.

The Thunder are basically eliminated by the Grizzlies, and it will be difficult for them to come back if Westbrook can't come back.

This is not necessarily good news for the Spurs.

Under the premise of winning the championship, the Heat are their last opponents.

All the opponents before this were used for hot hands and looking for status.

The Clippers' playoffs last season and this season's regular season have proved that they are a chicken in front of the Spurs.

The encounter between the two teams in the semi-finals was probably 4-0 again.

If they played a group of chickens before advancing to the finals, then the Spurs will not be able to get up, and the hope of winning will be very small.

We must know that the Spurs played so well against the Heat last year, which has a lot to do with the anxiety they played against the Thunder before.

Now that the Thunder are eliminated, the Lakers are the best replacements.

After all, although a healthy F4 is a bit older, its strength is still there.

The game between the Clippers and the Lakers is still playing, but it is estimated that there are still a few days left.

The Spurs don't need to travel away because they have home court advantage, they can just train with peace of mind in San Antonio.

As soon as he sat down in the locker room at the end of the day's training, Tang Tian received a text message.

It's from the league office.

"Tang Tian, ​​congratulations on becoming the NBA's best defensive player in the 2012~2013 season. You can choose the following ways to receive it. 1. We will deliver it to the team by express delivery; : "Olympic Tower" Building, 645 Fifth Avenue, New York."

This kind of text message is already very familiar to Tang Tian, ​​the difference is the content.

Best Defensive Player!

It was really hit by Popovich, Tang Tianzhen became the best defensive player.

"Oh! I know! I know!"

Not long after Tang Tian received the text message, Ginobili shouted in the locker room.

Just now the alliance announced the news.

Tang Tian won 60 of the 121 first-place votes, with a high vote rate of 30%, beating Gasol Jr. (13%) and James (9%), and was successfully elected as the 2012~2013 NBA season's best player. Good defensive player!

Since statistics are available, the fifth best perimeter defensive player in history!

This time, his name has been clearly imprinted in the history of the NBA!

"I knew you could do it, Best Defensive Player!"

Ginobili shouted and walked towards Tang Tian, ​​and the others followed suit before realizing it.

Tang Tian's performance and statistics this season are very eye-catching, and he deserves to be selected as the best defensive player.

It's just that because outside players have a low probability of winning awards, they were a little worried before.

Now that the results are out, their worries are completely unnecessary.

Moreover, 30% of the votes is considered relatively high, and it is very difficult to be an outside line.

"Don, tonight's lunch, no, you have covered all the dinner."

At this moment, Dio came over and put his shoulder on him and said.

"No problem, it must."

Tang Tian said with a smile.

There was a wave of small celebrations in the locker room.

After the celebration was over, Tang Tian asked Carl to book a restaurant for him to eat, and then took out his mobile phone to reply to the alliance.

He will choose to hold the award ceremony at home, which is the opening of the first game of the next round of the series.

The main reason for choosing to be at that point is naturally to boost the morale of the team.

Time flies, and a few days pass in a blink of an eye.

The first round of the NBA playoffs has all been played, and all of them are within 6 games.

Except for the Heat and Spurs who have already advanced.

In the East, the Bulls went straight to 2-2 and eliminated the Nets 4-2.

Jimmy Butler had an eye-catching performance in the series. While he was defending against Joe Johnson, he also averaged 12 points per game, which is a significant improvement.

The Nets were more embarrassed. He spent money on a super lineup, but was eliminated in the first round in the end.

The Pacers beat the Hawks 4-2, and Lance Stephenson's growth made up for the team's only flaw, making them look competitive.

The Knicks also successfully eliminated the aging Celtics 4-2.

After playing a surprising regular season, Anthony has the opportunity to once again lead the team and James in the playoffs to start a brother basketball duel.

In the west, the Thunder lost to the Grizzlies 1-4 and were unfortunately out.

Westbrook's absence was the main reason for the Thunder's loss.

The Grizzlies have also become the only team to achieve both a black seven and a black eight since the implementation of the 7-game 4-win system.

In the remaining two matchups, the Warriors also achieved a black six and successfully overthrew the Nuggets.

The Lakers also lost two straight sets, achieved Black Friday, eliminated the Clippers 4-2, and advanced to the Western Conference semifinals.

Except for the Spurs, the other three teams in the upper half of the Western Conference all encountered dark horses...

Popovich's open mouth is really poisonous.

With the technology of the first round of playoffs, the matchup between the East and West semifinals will also be released.

In the east, the Heat will compete with the Bulls, and the Pacers will face the Knicks.

In the west, the Warriors will play against the Grizzlies, while the Spurs will face the challenge of the Lakers.

Among these four matchups, the Spurs and Lakers are the most attractive matchups.

One is the defending champion, while the other has a poor record in the regular season, but the lineup is also a championship configuration.

On paper alone, this is really about to stage Mars hitting the earth.

On May 5, just one day after the end of the series between the Lakers and the Clippers, the entire Lakers team flew to San Antonio one day earlier.

The Lakers arranged the team's daily shooting drill in the afternoon.

Coach D'Antoni seems to be in a very good mood.

Since the team traded for Livingston and CJ Miles, the team's rotation has finally been complete, and the running and bombing he wanted has finally started.

And in the first round, they also eliminated the Clippers, the most important rival in the same city.

This performance is enough for him to stay with the Lakers.

Kobe also seemed to be in a very good mood. After he followed Tang Tian's advice, he played more efficiently than before.

The Lakers' record has improved, but his numbers haven't dropped much.

After training, Bryant was soon surrounded by swarms of reporters.

"Last year, the Lakers lost to the Thunder in the Western Conference semifinals. Now they are going to usher in a stronger Spurs. Does the team have confidence?"

"Of course, we are also stronger than last year."

"Don just won the best defensive player, and you will play against him in the next game. What do you think? We know that you did not perform very well against him during the regular season." The reporter went on asked.

"Maybe I should learn Popovich's way of speaking, and I stand on the court and watch?"

Kobe was really in a good mood, and this answer amused the reporters.

"Okay, just kidding, Don has played really well this season, and he deserves that (best defensive player), but for me, the stronger the defensive player, the better I am in the game. excited."

Kobe always looked so confident.
