Mountain Peak System: a Path to NBA-Chapter 638 - 218: Wild East, Consecutive MVPs! (Only 1 update today because it’s Ah Qiao’s birthday)_3
This season, the only slight regret is that the incompetent league awarded the Defensive Player of the Year to Howard, who is currently being bullied by Orlando fans, the media, and the team's management.
Qin Yue wasn't surprised by this.
After all, with three DPOY trophies to his name already, David Stern, who has always been good at balancing things, had to give other stars of the current era a share of the spotlight.
And on the award day, Curry from the Warriors was also elected Sixth Man of the Year for two consecutive years.
This season, Curry's improvement mainly showed in his control of turnovers.
Although Curry's reduced turnovers on the court were indeed related to Qin Yue always snatching the ball from him and whipping him like Green in later years to play off-ball...
Compared to his rookie season, Curry's ability in passing and ball control has improved significantly this season.
Especially when Qin Yue helped him create mismatched opportunities.
This deadly baby-faced assassin has already become a headache for all opponents.
Additionally, this year's Rookie of the Year was shared by the Kentucky twins, Cousins and Wall.
The Most Improved Player was awarded to Lowry, who switched to the Pacers camp.
Thibodeau was elected Best Coach, just as Qin Yue remembered.
The results for the All-NBA teams and All-Defensive teams selection were as follows:
All-NBA First Team: Howard, Qin Yue, Durant, Kobe, Rose.
All-NBA Second Team: Yao Ming, Nowitzki, James, Wade, Paul.
All-NBA Third Team: Stoudemire, Duncan, Anthony, Roy, Westbrook.
All-Defensive First Team: Howard, Qin Yue, Iguodala, Kobe, Paul.
All-Defensive Second Team: Chandler, Garnett, Wallace, Tony Allen, Rondo.
The usual controversies surrounding the All-NBA selections this year mainly focused on whether Anthony or James deserved a spot on the Second Team.
Since the regular season records of the Knicks and Heat were close, if only looking at personal stats, Anthony, who played 'brother basketball' in Miami, clearly outperformed James, who had to be restrained at every corner with the Knicks. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
But Anthony, never favored by Stern, ultimately lost out in the evaluation due to his "gang-like image" that Stern dislikes so much.
As for Kwame Brown, who made significant personal progress this year but gained nothing in the selection?
"It's a conspiracy! This is definitely a conspiracy!" Brown said: "How come in the eyes of the judges, I'm not as good as that damn Tyson Chandler?"
Actually, Brown might not believe it if you told him.
In Qin Yue's view, this was the fairest episode for the NBA.
Because, judging by their defensive impact on the court, no matter how good Brown's stats look, they're not as important as Chandler's influence on the Mavericks.
According to the schedule, the Warriors will next face the Lakers in the Western Conference Semifinals.
Before the match, out of the seventeen experts invited by ESPN, only one believed the Lakers could defeat the Warriors through a Game 7 win.
Although compared to last season, this Lakers only lost Lowry.
But with the decline of players like Odom and Battier year by year...
Facing a strong Warriors team, even the most devout Kobe fans can only pray for Kobe to perform as a celestial god descending in consecutive games.
"I know a lot of people don't believe in us."
Before setting out for Oakland, Kobe said in an interview, "But since the game hasn't started yet, we can't be afraid of failure, because being afraid of failure means you've already lost the qualification for victory."
...
PS: Today is Ah Qiao's birthday, so I need to have dinner with family tonight, resulting in this short and weak chapter. I hope readers can understand.
