Chapter 470 Three companies!(1/2)
Walken Dean was very happy, but what happened later proved that he was...happy too early.
G4, the Nets lost.
Jokic still is, but in this game Jokic was like a fat little pig being run over all over the court.
Budenholzer speeded up, and Jokic obviously couldn't keep up with the speed on the court.
This was also the first time since he entered the playoffs that he struggled.
But it's not entirely his fault, because that's just the way he is.
This is more like a game between the coaches of both sides...
Budenholzer got the real pass from Popovich and beat Karl once.
2 to 2, both sides hit Tianwang Mountain.
Before Tianwang Mountain, Lu found Karl and told him some of his understanding.
Then when they arrived at Tianwang Mountain, the Nets made adjustments. Jokic basically stopped holding the ball in the low post and just stayed at the top of the key.
The advantage of this is that he can return to the backcourt at the first opportunity.
It's not a big adjustment, but it has a huge impact on the situation on the field.
In the end, the Nets suppressed the Hawks for the entire game, winning 106-88 and gaining match point.
This game also gave Karl a new understanding of Jokic's use.
Before Jokic improves his confrontation and skills under the basket, he can only "settle down" at the top of the arc.
Moreover, the coaching staff has also put it on the agenda to develop Jokic's low-post ability.
Before this, there were not many insiders who could provide support at the top of the key, including Sabonis, Divac, and Brad Miller.
But there are also differences in strength among these insiders. If Jokic can reach Sabonis's low-post strength, then no matter how well the Nuggets can operate in the offseason, they will definitely be able to reach the lower limit that Warken Dean expects.
Two days later, the Eagles' home court.
The Eagles, who were in dire straits, played a top-notch offense, but the Nets also played very well, and the two sides fought fiercely until the fourth quarter.
It is in this section that the weaknesses of team basketball are revealed, or the difference between the Hawks and the Spurs is revealed.
The Spurs' GDP was still a critical point with great certainty until the last moment, but the Hawks did not.
Whether it's Millsap or Horford, or Teague on the outside, they are all so different from Lin Ying.
Therefore, the decisive moment between the two sides can be described in one sentence: the superstar dominated the game.
115 to 105, the Nets defeated the Hawks in an away game, advancing to the Near East finals with a big score of 4 to 2!
Even without Johnson and Deron, Lin Ying still led this team to the conference finals!
And after 11 playoff games, Lin Ying averaged 35.1 points per game, which was even more exaggerated than his scoring performance in the regular season.
This is a performance that vividly explains what single-core is.
Shortly after the game between the Nets and the Hawks ended, the results of the other three groups of semifinals in the Eastern and Western Conferences were also released.
The Cavaliers are strong after a season of running-in. They defeated the Celtics 4-1. They only lost one game in the first two rounds.
But the bad news is that Josh Smith had his arm removed while fighting with Celtics insider Olynyk in the paint, and his arm was dislocated and ended for the season.
This casts a shadow over the Cavaliers' championship journey.
However, from the perspective of Lin Ying, a time traveler, this is already an acceptable result.
Historically, the Cavaliers also faced the Celtics this year, but it was in the first round.
Then it was Olynyk who removed Love's arm during the scramble.
A similar thing is happening now, except that the target has changed from Love to Smith.
In contrast, the Cavaliers at least retain the core lineup of the Big Three and are still very competitive.
Of course, this will be good news for the Nets. Without Smith sweeping around the basket, Lin Ying's scoring in the paint will become easier.
The Nets' chances of defeating the Cavaliers have obviously increased.
In the Western Conference, the Warriors defeated the Lakers 4-1.
This result is unexpected by many people.
But something that happened after the game gave a good explanation for this result.
The Lakers immediately announced that they had fired head coach D'Antoni.
The Lakers' defense throughout the series was appalling, allowing the Warriors to average 115+ points per game.
Although this Warriors team is the kind of team that can't help scoring points, the Lakers' defense is indeed a bit poor.
The Lakers' coaching selection for the new season will once again be a topic of concern to fans.
The semi-final matchup in this group was unexpected, while the other group was fierce.
After seven intense games, thanks to Durant's last-minute fadeaway from Duncan, the Thunder defeated the Spurs with a total score of 4-3 and advanced to the Western Conference Finals!
In two consecutive rounds, Durant contributed a decisive victory, and both were tiebreakers. This is the ultimate expression of his personal strength!
Even Buckley couldn't help but sigh at such a performance.
"If the Thunder can finally win the championship, Durant's name will be on par with Lin Ying."
It is worth mentioning that after being killed, Duncan seemed to have suddenly aged ten years.
Although he had been holding his anger for a whole season, it was finally released by Durant.
It was when he got up and walked to the locker room that he felt that he was getting older.
This result perfectly explains the saying: The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves in front, and the waves in front are beaten to death on the beach.
The NBA will be a world dominated by young people in the future!
In this way, the showdown in the Western Conference Finals is announced, Warriors VS Thunder!
Both teams are good at attacking, so the game will definitely be exciting.
…
The two sides in the East-West final have been determined, and the games will start one after another in two days.
But at this time, something that fans are concerned about will also be revealed.
MVP selection for the 2014~2015 season!
There are basically three people who have the loudest voices this season.
Curry, Durant and Lin Ying.
Among the statistics of the three, Curry is the weakest, averaging 23.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 7.7 assists per game, but he has the bonus of the Warriors' 67 wins.
Lin Ying's statistics are the most beautiful, averaging 34.1 points, 8.1 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game. This is no joke, but the Nets' 57-win record is also the worst among the three.
As for Durant, he averaged 32.7 points per game, 7.2 rebounds and 5.4 assists, and the Thunder's 61-win record was right in the middle.
Each of these three people has enough reasons to be elected MVP. It depends on how the fans define the meaning of MVP.
There are a thousand Hamlets in everyone's heart, and those thousand reporters will definitely value different things.
The final results are out, and the person elected as the MVP of the 2014~2015 season is... Lin Ying!
*Attached is the MVP voting results.
Lin Ying:30.6%
Durant:28.8%
Curry: 21.5%
James:8.23%
…
Although the victory was a bit thrilling, I still won.
After winning, Lin Ying also completed three consecutive MVP awards!
At this point, Lin Ying surpassed Jordan!
Throughout the entire history of the NBA, there are only three people who have accomplished this.
Two giant inside players from ancient times, Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain, and the other one is the "pressing king" Larry Bird.
Lin Ying became the fourth player in NBA history.
This also sparked heated discussions among fans on social media.
"Tell me louder, who is the legend?!" A comment from "Classic Lin Ying's No. 1 fan".
"Living legend! Well deserved, and Durant and Curry are also worthy of MVP. They made Lin's three consecutive games even more legendary!"
"A new era has arrived, and the battle between these three people will be very exciting for a long time to come!"
"LeBron is not old yet. If they want to become famous in this era, they have to go back a little bit!"
