The first round of the playoffs was all over, and Nowitzki won the regular season MVP.
At this time, the selection of regular season MVP is relatively normal, and the best player on the best team is usually elected.
Although the Dallas Mavericks were defeated in the first round of the playoffs, they are the team with the best regular season record and are far ahead of the second-place Suns.
Nowitzki's award was not too controversial.
Marcus Camby was elected DPOY (Defensive Player of the Year). Camby's statistics are very gorgeous, averaging 11.7 rebounds, 3.3 blocks and 1.2 steals per game. The data is very comprehensive.
However, many experts believe that Camby's defensive effect is not as good as the data reflects. The improvement of the Nuggets' defensive efficiency relies on Li Yan's tireless defense changes.
"Wolf King" Garnett is a staunch supporter of Li Yan. He admires Li Yan very much: "Li's defensive ability is great. He can control the overall situation. To be honest, he can also defend from 1 to 5. Li Yan's game The style is full of passion and iron-bloodedness.”
The Sixth Man of the Year is the Suns' "Brazilian Lightning" Leandro Barbosa, who averaged 18.1 points per game and shot 43.4% from three-point range.
The Most Improved Player belongs to the Warriors' Monta Ellis. Ellis's impact is very strong, and he thrived under the training of Nelson.
Best lineup:
Steve Nash, Kobe Bryant, Dirk Nowitzki, Tim Duncan, Amar'e Stoudemire;
The best period was dominated by the Western Conference, which shows that the Western Conference is strong and the Eastern Conference is weak.
All-Pro Second Team:
Allen Iverson, Tracy McGrady, LeBron James, Chris Bosh, Yao Ming;
The Eastern Conference stars finally appeared in the second team. "Little Emperor" LeBron James and "Dragon King" Chris Bosh were successfully selected.
In the West, the "answers" Iverson and Tracy McGrady occupy the two backcourt spots, and the center position is the "little giant" Yao Ming.
Yao Ming averaged 25 points, 9.8 rebounds and 2 blocks per game this season. His performance was impeccable, and Yao Ming's dominance is unquestionable.
What affects Yao Ming and Stoudemire's competition for the first team is his attendance rate. Yao Ming has only played 48 games this season, while Stoudemire has played in all 82 games.
Best three-team lineup:
Li Yan, Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Garnett, Dwight Howard.
Li Yan's name appeared in the best third team, which made Chinese fans ecstatic.
Comrade Xiao Li's experience is so legendary. It only took him more than half a season to go from "Water Cooler Manager" to "The Best Team". This is just like cheating.
In addition, "Melo" Anthony was also selected for the third team. Many fans believed that Anthony had a chance to hit the first team, but the "punch at Madison Garden" greatly damaged the image of "Melo".
However, the Nuggets fans themselves felt that Anthony's punch was a good one. Whether it was a coincidence or not, at least Li Yan's take-off began at that time.
It is worth mentioning that with the successful selection of Bosh this season, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony, and Chris Bosh in the "03 Draft" were also selected as the best The lineup, Platinum Generation lives up to its reputation.
…………
Among the four groups of conference semifinals, the game between the Suns and the Nuggets attracted the most attention.
The Suns and Nuggets are the two teams with the highest scoring averages per game in the league's regular season, and their game rhythms are very similar.
Although it is always said that defense wins championships, the "surging" offense is the fans' favorite.
The Spurs and Pistons' finals with the lowest ratings in history is proof of this. The tight defense and slow-paced battle for position made the fans sleepy.
Come on, if you have to watch endless confrontations, why should you watch the NBA? Wouldn't unrestricted fighting be a better option?
Predictions before the game showed that the support rates between the two sides were very close, with the Suns still beating the Nuggets.
The Nuggets have Iverson, Anthony and Li Yan, one in the second team and two in the third team, but the Suns also have Nash and Stoudemire!
You know, the combination of Nash and Stoudemire is the best in the league!
You have DPOY Marcus Camby, and I also have Super Six "Brazilian Lightning" Barbosa.
The most important thing is that the Suns' individual defense is very strong. La'Gar Bell and Shawn Marion are both top defenders.
Boris Diaw, last season's Most Improved Player, also has the ability to go from one to five.
Evenly matched duels; offensive battles; Mars hitting the earth, the fiery atmosphere in China on the other side of the Pacific is even worse than that in the United States.
After the Rockets were eliminated, Li Yan and the Nuggets pinned the expectations of all Chinese fans.
All Chinese sports media that could afford it sent reporting teams, which resulted in the number of Chinese media at the pre-match press conference in Phoenix almost rivaling that of local media.
Li Yan was also shocked by the momentum of the domestic media. Good guy, didn't I go abroad?
The domestic media praised Li Yan to the sky. In their eyes, there was nothing that Li Yan could not accomplish. Li Yan was synonymous with miracles.
Li Yan was not in a hurry, but when he saw his teammates preparing for the game, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Carmelo Anthony is showing Nene his "triple threat" with a smile.
Kenyon Martin and JR Smith were chatting passionately, and their hands were moving with the ball, but judging from their lewd expressions, it was definitely not basketball.
Allen Iverson was late for practice...
The Nuggets have been so successful recently that they actually didn't take the Suns seriously.
The night before the game, they went to a famous local nightclub in Phoenix to play games.
Although Li Yan also went, can this be the same? I have it, do you have it?
