Chapter 362 Re-Elected MVP (Part 1)

D'Antoni has no tactics available except running and bombing.

Neither Howard, who can't pass the ball, nor Gasol, who can't defend, can't meet his requirements in the matchup with the Spurs.

The score on the field was almost pulled away, and he could only hug his chest, akimbo, or even roar and change his posture to vent on the sidelines.

After halftime, the Lakers trailed the Spurs 44 to 60 by as much as 16 points.

In the second half, the Lakers' offense and defense still did not improve.

Kobe finally couldn't hold back the power of the Mamba in his body and began to take over the team's offense.

He felt good tonight, and his consecutive hits helped the Lakers close to the point difference.

But on the Spurs side, Tang Tian, ​​Leonard, and Green went into battle one after another.

He had already tried his best to face off against Tang Tian, ​​and it was even more powerless to face the three of them.

In the end, the Lakers had another iconic loss.

Bryant scored 20 points in the second half and 28 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists in the game, but the Lakers finally lost 86-106.

Fans who haven't watched the game will say that their teammates are not good, but those who have seen the game know that D'Antoni was blown away by Popovich in this game.

By the fourth game, this situation has not changed.

After the biggest weakness of the Lakers was caught by Popovich, it was like a poisonous snake caught seven inches. Even the highly poisonous black mamba couldn't afford to splash the waves.

Although Kobe Bryant took everything from the beginning of the game and scored 35 points with a good touch to set a series high, the Lakers still lost 91 to 104.

When a person's strength is against the sky, he can ignore tactical suppression and turn a "five-person" basketball game into a one-person one.

But Kobe, 35, has apparently lost that ability.

After losing these two home games in a row, the Lakers, who were 1 to 3 behind, were basically powerless.

The good news is that the next game will be three days later. They can recover their physical fitness and think about how to make adjustments by the way.

At this time, the league successively announced some other awards for the 2012~2013 season.

JR Smith of the Knicks received 72 first votes, with a high vote rate of 44.65%, overpowering Jamal Crawford of the Clippers and Jarrett Jack of the Warriors, and was successfully elected as the season's best player. Good sixth man.

He played 80 games off the bench this season, averaging 18.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 1.3 steals per game.

This award is well deserved.

And a very interesting thing is that, perhaps inspired by Tang Tian before, he also chose to accept the award ceremony before the start of the fifth game of the series.

Two days later, Game 5 of the Knicks-Pacers series kicked off at New York's Madison Square Garden.

The Knicks fell behind 1-3 before, and the situation is unfavorable.

In the end, Smith scored 17 points and 3 steals, helping the Knicks beat the Pacers 85-75 at home and tied the score 2-3.

After the game ended, fans discussed it on social media.

Fans even summed up a "Law of Tang Tian" just like the "Law of True Fragrance" in the future.

This law means that anyone who receives an award at home in the playoffs can help the team win a victory.

Because Tang Tian is the first person to realize it, it is also called Tang Tian's law, and the current probability is 100%.

And this law continues.

Game 5 of the Heat-Bulls series kicked off at American Airlines Arena the day after the Knicks won.

Before the start of this game, the league announced the ownership of this season's MVP.

With season averages of 27.1 points, 7.9 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 1.9 steals and 0.8 blocks per game, James once again beat Durant and won the MVP again.

He received 120 of the 121 first-place votes and came close to becoming the first unanimous MVP in league history.

This season, the Heat won 66 wins, and the season was interrupted and there was a 27-game winning streak in history. James' statistics are not worse than Durant's. This MVP did not attract controversy like last season, but deserved it.

After winning this MVP, he also became the second player in league history to win the MVP for the second time after Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

When he was in the Cavaliers before, he also won the MVP in the 08-09 and 09-10 seasons.

And James chose to accept the award at the home court of this game.

After accepting the award, James delivered his acceptance speech.

Compared with last year's touch, there was a little more calmness in his demeanor.

After thanking everyone, he added a pep talk at the end.

"...This honor belongs to the entire Heat team. Without them, I can't get this. This is the strongest team in the league. This time we have no reason to lose again. We want to get back the championship that originally belonged to us. I will Bring the city the second championship trophy in history!"

James's words were full of pride, which attracted cheers like a tsunami, and the decibels pierced the sky.

With James' character, he will pay attention to propriety when speaking, maintain his image in place, and will not say such words that may be slapped in the face.

But obviously, everything is not absolute.

After three years of forming a team and failing to qualify for a championship, he has been cornered.

If his personal strength reaches the peak after developing a three-point shooting, coupled with a strong lineup like the Heat, if he still can't win the championship, then his historical evaluation will definitely fall to the bottom.

So if you don't succeed, you will be benevolent. He is also trying to inspire a stronger self.

James' acceptance speech made the Heat's morale high. They slaughtered the Bulls 115 to 78 at home, eliminated their opponents with a total score of 4 to 1, and took the lead in advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals.

At the end of this game, Tang Tian's law was once again verified, and the probability continued to be 100%.

Here, the Heat became the first team in the East and West to enter the conference finals.

For the other teams, the Pacers 3-2 the Knicks, the Grizzlies 3-2 the Warriors, and the Spurs 3-1 the Lakers.

Later in the Heat-Bulls game, Game 5 of the Spurs-Lakers series also kicked off at ATT Arena.

The home of the Spurs, it was relatively easy to win the first two games, and this is another home game. This is a great opportunity for the Spurs to advance.

But veteran Steve Nash was the X factor tonight.

He dreamed of returning to the top of the game, made 7 of 8 shots from beyond the three-point line, scored 25 points and 11 assists, and helped the Lakers narrowly beat the Spurs 106-103, tying the series to 2-3.

"I had a video call with Bella and Lola before tonight's game, maybe they gave me the touch, thank God."

After the game, the "Son of the Wind" who was interviewed on the sidelines had a relaxed expression, and even attributed tonight's victory to his two twin daughters.

Compared with the other Big Three, he, a 39-year-old veteran, has the least pressure on the team.

Being able to play such a game is more gratification and happiness to him.
