  Chapter 620 First round sweep + 6th MVP

   Also in Los Angeles, David Robinson is in the same mood as the postman, bad.

  When Postman joined the Lakers last year, he thought his chance to win the championship had come, but the fact that he was slapped loudly.

  The only thing that can comfort him is that he chose the Lakers at the time, while Ewing chose the Suns. Now that Ewing has retired, he has no chance at all, and he still has a chance.

  Gary Payton is in a much better mood than the Postman and Robinson. Although the 25% chance of winning is not as good as the Suns, it is not bad.

   But he was only slightly better than the two postmen, and he was still in a bad mood.

I chose the Blazers at the beginning, no, I was pushed to the Blazers by Dameng's bastards. I didn't expect the Blazers to hurt two big insiders at the beginning of the season, which caused a serious rotation problem in the insiders, which affected record.

   Now the media is more optimistic about the Suns, which is why he is in a bad mood.

  If he had gone to the Suns back then, the championship would definitely have been secured, but unfortunately, he was played by a few **** from Dameng.

  …

  This afternoon, Pharaoh held a party at home and invited his teammates and their families to come and have fun and relax.

  He found an opportunity to call the four main players aside, including Nash, Stoudemire, Joe Johnson, and Marion, and chatted with them.

   "How are you, satisfied with your own data?" he asked.

   The four of them were embarrassed for a while, old K, what do you want us to say? Say we are satisfied, that is impossible, say we are not satisfied, does that mean that we are not satisfied with you?

   Lao Wang didn't give them a chance to speak at all, and said with a smile: "This season's situation is a bit special. From next season, I will allocate some shots to you. What do you think?"

   "Old K?"

  The four of them looked at each other in blank dismay.

They still know that this is Old K's team. Even if Old K is willing, I am afraid that the management and coaching staff will not be willing, nor will the fans of the Suns. Even if Old K is the leader of the league, the league will not would like to.

  Old Wang then changed the subject, his purpose was to comfort a few main teammates in this way before the start of the playoffs.

   Because of his existence, the statistics of these main teammates have been suppressed, which will have an impact on their future, and he understands this.

   It has always been for this reason that if his team has too many young players, the lineup will be very fluid.

   Unless, like when he was in the Lakers, he finds a few veteran players who can still play, and the lineup is more stable, so that he can win three consecutive championships.

  He is a little worried now that once Stoudemire, Joe Johnson, and Marion win the championship, they will have the idea of ​​leaving the Suns.

   Nash is better. He won the second assists title in the Suns this season, and his desire to attack is not too strong.

   On the 16th, the league officially announced some personal honors.

  The king of all statistics, Pharaoh won three items alone, the assists king was won by Nash, and the steals king was won by Baron Davis.

  In addition, D'Antoni won the honor of the best coach by virtue of his coaching performance this season and the Suns' first record in the league.

  DPOY was given to Ron Artest of the Pacers, the best rookie is LeBron James, and the best sixth man is Antoine Millison.

   At the same time, the alliance announced that the MVP winner will be announced before the second round.

  No. 17, the first round starts.

  The Suns took Mosaic lightly in the G1 game, winning by 30 points and getting off to a good start.

  In the next three games, the Suns completed a sweep of Mosaic, the first in the league to reach the second round.

   On May 1st, it was the day when the league announced the MVP winner.

  The media is very concerned. If this year's MVP is given to the old K, it means that the league has really changed the policy of the past few seasons, and the old K will really return to the top of the league.

   At 10 am, the MVP winner was announced, Wang Tiejun.

   This is his sixth MVP, and the fifth was in 2000. After three years, he finally regained this hard honor.

  Suddenly, countless congratulatory calls and text messages flooded in, overwhelming his phone.

   In addition, the system gave him a symbolic reward of 300 points.

   On May 2, the second round begins.

   At this time, the first round of the Eastern Conference has not yet been played. The Heat and the Pelicans have three draws and will tie the game on the 4th.

  In the West, the second round is the Suns against the Lakers, and the Timberwolves against the Trail Blazers. The former has home court advantage.

  The Lakers also used six games to defeat the Kings by a big score of 4 to 2, and it was a bit difficult to win.

   Both the Timberwolves and the Trail Blazers eliminated their opponents with a big score of 4 to 1, which is relatively easy to win.

  In the East, the Pacers will play against the Pistons, and the Nets will play against the winner of the Heat and Pelicans in the second round.

  No. 2, Phoenix West Arena, Suns vs. Lakers, second round G1.

  Last year, the Suns and the Lakers had problems in the Western Conference Finals. O'Neal was injured and suspended, which caused the Lakers to lose in the Finals, while the Suns suffered even greater losses. At the same time, it also caused huge economic losses to the league and the TV broadcasters of the Finals.

   Then at the All-Star Weekend, the old K and O'Neill's wife reported another scandal of "going alone to have sex".

  In order to avoid the violent incidents of last year's Western Conference finals, this time, the league sent a supporter. President David Stern came in person to sit in the American West Arena.

   Of course, he is also here to present the MVP trophy.

  The game started at 8:30, and at 8:00, the two sides announced the starting lineup.

   Lakers: O'Neal, Karl Malone, Devin George, Kobe, Fisher

  Sun: Wang Tiejun, Amare Stoudemire, Marion, Joe Johnson, Nash

  At the commentary table of CCTV, Zhang Reasonable analyzed: "After two months of injury, Stoudemire came back and started directly. This should be a good recovery.

  For the Lakers, Rick Fox, the original main small forward, suffered a lot of injuries. He didn't have much chance this season. He averaged only four minutes per game. He might retire after the playoffs.

How to say about Devin George's strength, the breakthrough ability is average, but the second offensive awareness is very strong, the three-pointer is okay, but the overall is not stable enough, the convulsion type player is actually more suitable as a substitute, the Lakers have no better now, You can only let him play the main force.

   On the defensive end, his basic defensive skills are average, he is often forced by others, and occasionally he will stage some soul-stirring caps, but the overall defense is not good, which is why he can only serve as a substitute for Fox for several seasons. "

  Su Qun continued: "Director Zhang, what chance do you think the Suns have in this series? Although the Lakers' regular season is not good, the strength of the Big Four teaming up is indeed very strong."

  Zhang Lili smiled and said: "Don't be intimidated by the four of them. The postman is no longer a superstar. He is not a giant. The general is old and worse than the postman. The real giant is the OK combination.

   Even O'Neill is actually in a state of declining from the peak, and the tonnage is basically out of control.

  However, the OK team has broken through the state of inconsistency. They could maintain a superficial relationship before, but now the relationship on the surface is very stiff. I think it is questionable how much cooperation they can play. "

   "MVP! MVP! MVP..."

   At this time, the two sides started to play, and when Pharaoh finally played, the audience began to shout.

  David Stern stood in the center of the field, waiting for Lao Wang with a smile on his face. The moment the two shook hands, the surrounding media cameras flashed continuously.

   "Congratulations, old K."

   "Thank you, Mr. Stern."

Although David Stern let go of Lao Wang's hand, he did not present the trophy immediately, but continued: "Old K, I hope the next playoffs will be a perfect game, you will not let Am I disappointed?"

  Old Wang smiled and said, "I hope so too."

David Stern sighed secretly. Old K had two things that did not satisfy him. One was nationality and the other was violence. If there were no these two issues, everything would be perfect. He would definitely be in front of Old K’s name. Named the God of Basketball.

   But the old K hit people on the court again after the All-Star, which made him very disappointed. Now he only hopes that LeBron James can grow up as soon as possible.

   Then he took the Maurice Podolov Cup from his assistant and handed it to Lao Wang.

   "Boom!"

  When Lao Wang raised the trophy to the fans of the Suns, the cheers of the entire American West Arena reached its peak.

   At this moment, too many people are greedy! Envious! jealous!

   Right at the scene, O'Neill, Kobe, Karl Malone, and David Robinson were envious and jealous.

  Kobe is fine. After all, he is still at his peak, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. As long as old K gets old, it will be his time.

  But O'Neal has begun to fall from the peak, but has not won the MVP yet, so the mood is very complicated.

   But postman Malone is in the worst mood. He has already decided to retire if he doesn't win the championship this time. As for the MVP, forget it, let's not have that dream.

  But thinking that this is the sixth MVP of old K, and he can't get any, he feels very depressed and feels like vomiting blood.

  The old super center, Admiral David Robinson, is in the same mood as the postman.

  In addition to the scene, there are many people in front of the TV who are in the same mood as them.

   After the awards ceremony, when Pharaoh passed by the Lakers bench, he saw Kobe, O'Neal, Postman Malone, and David Robinson, the super F4 lineup of the four giants. This lineup may be gone next season.

   Seeing Kobe staring at the trophy in his hand, he handed it over and said: "Kobe, I already have five, and I have no place to put them. This is for you."

   "..."

  Kobe opened his mouth and didn't react in an instant.

  Hearing this sentence, the postman, David Robinson, and O'Neill were also in a daze. They looked at the trophy and didn't react.

  The people around who heard this were also silent and looked over.

   "Old K, stop pretending in front of me! What's the use of what you gave me? I can take it myself." After reacting, Kobe said sternly.

   "Then you can only wait for the chance for the judges to feel tired of me." Lao Wang laughed and walked over after finishing speaking.

"Humph!"

   Kobe was so angry that his nose bleeds.

   At 8:30, the game officially begins.

  Pharaoh and O'Neal stood opposite each other.

   After Lao Wang returned from the ban, the two have not met because of O'Neal's injury. This is the first time the two have met on the court since the Western Conference finals last season, and they stood together again.

  He estimated that O'Neill now has a tonnage of almost 160 kilograms. Is this O'Neill his opponent?

"Snapped!"

  The moment the ball was thrown and reached the peak, he soared into the air and took the lead to push the ball away.

   Suns offense.

  At the free throw line, Pharaoh just stopped there.

   O'Neill had a headache and hurriedly blocked the lower side.

   Right wing, after Stoudemire went out, the postman stood outside the right waist of the paint area, and most of his attention was on the high position. If there is any trouble, he will definitely go in to double-team immediately.

  But now he has old arms and legs, and his knee injury is very serious. I don't even count on how fast he can help defense.

   "Oh, Kobe defended Nash himself?" Su Qun said in surprise.

   "This is to destroy the organizational function of the Suns." Zhang Reasonable said quickly.

   Seeing Kobe standing in front of Nash, Joe Johnson, who was outside the right-wing three-point line, hurried over and set up a pick-and-roll for Nash.

  Nash pulled to the right, but was followed by Fisher, but at this moment, he suddenly made a backhand pass, and the ball flew to the high position of Lao Wang.

  The pass was very sudden. The postman on the right waist didn't react immediately, and the double-teaming of the help defense was a bit slower. When he reacted, Lao Wang on the free throw line had already received the ball.

   "Squeak!"

The next moment after catching the ball, amidst the ear-piercing sound of sneakers rubbing, the swing of the club step was activated. Taking the right foot as the axis, he quickly leaned on O'Neal to complete a right turn without dribbling. He was holding the ball with his left hand while his right elbow was turning around. In the middle, the card held against O'Neal, landed with his left foot, and broke into the paint area with one step, completing a breakthrough against O'Neal.

  He took another step with his right foot, and after the second step, his figure exploded. While walking in the air, his left arm was raised high like a battle axe, and he slashed hard at the basket.

"boom!"

  The violent basket explosion sounded instantly.

"what!"

   Fierce cheers immediately resounded throughout the American West Arena.

   "Oh, **** ho..." A live commentator kept yelling.

   "The Sun King easily breaks the bench for a tomahawk split. Now I wonder, who's the bench?"

  Another live commentator asked a question to all the home fans.

   "O'Neal!"

  There was a huge response at the scene, and then there was a loud laugh.

"Ha ha…"

  Zhang Lili and Su Qun laughed and fell on the commentary booth.

  The embarrassing O'Neal ran to the front court and rushed directly to the basket. Nuo Da's weight gave him a strong impact while moving. Even if the speed is not very fast, it is difficult to block him head-on.

  Pharaoh did not block, but circled forward, blocking the space for O'Neal to receive the ball.

Kobe reached out to Fisher after crossing the center line. With his position in the Lakers, his position as the outside core of the three-peat dynasty and the last two championships far surpassed O'Neal's position in the Lakers. Fisher had no idea of ​​​​resisting. , uploaded immediately.

   On the right wing, Kobe took the ball, faced Joe Johnson, and made a gesture of pulling away. He wanted to single out.

  But the Suns didn't give him a chance to play singles. Instead, they put up a two-one-two defensive formation, and Marion immediately rushed over from the free throw line.

  Joe Johnson is three centimeters taller. The height advantage is not great, but the tonnage advantage is great. He is 109 kilograms, and Kobe is now 101 kilograms.

But just when he wanted to use the tonnage advantage to block Kobe and create a double-team opportunity for Marion, Kobe suddenly turned around and leaned against him, and then started the club step. Under the swing, he quickly completed a left turn and broke through from the right. The ball reached the three-point line.

   Marion's double-teaming direction was Kobe's left side, and he failed to complete the double-teaming, so he quickly turned and turned down, preparing to intercept Kobe halfway.

  But Kobe made an emergency stop for a jumper and scored two points.

"brush!"

   Splashes appeared and two points were hit.

  Zhang rationally said with a smile: "Kobe averaged 28 points per game in the regular season this season, shooting 45.8% from the field, which is a bit worse than last season's performance. Apart from off-court reasons, it shows that his knee injury still has an impact on him."

"Yes, his scoring in the first round was about the same as the regular season, only 0.5 points more, but his shooting percentage dropped by two percentage points. He doesn't belong to the rare playoffs like old K Jordan. His efficiency and scoring are higher than the regular season. Superstar of the competition." Su Qun said.

  The Suns attacked, and Lao Wang fell to a high position again.

   "The Iron Army pulled O'Neal out of the basket, made full use of his mobility, and created breakthrough space for his teammates, which made the Lakers a headache!" Zhang Reasonable laughed.

   At this time, Nash pulled to the left wing, made a pick-and-roll with Marion, and after throwing off Kobe, he began to break through with the ball from the wing.

  Devin George switched defenses, Kobe's speed was not as fast as Nash, and his speed couldn't keep up with Nash at all.

  Seeing that Nash threw off the defense and rushed to the paint area, O'Neal, who was below the free throw line, could only choose to take a step back to the basket.

   Nash rushed directly to the basket with the ball, O'Neal could only retreat directly to the basket, and at this time the high-ranking Lao Wang rushed down.

  Nash threw himself in front of O'Neill, the ball in his hand had already flown towards Pharaoh, and Pharaoh caught the ball, kicked his feet suddenly, and immediately took off.

   "Shut him!"

   This scene instantly reminded countless Suns fans of the G5 game in the Western Conference finals last year, so, the next moment, there was a neat and loud shout in the West West Arena.

   Also at this moment, Wang Tiejun, who was flying in the air, pressed down on O'Neal with his left hand, holding the ball in his right hand like a tomahawk, and slashed down instantly.

"boom!"

  Amidst the violent basket explosion, O'Neill fell down.

"Roar!"

   The American West Arena was like an explosion, and tsunami-like shouts rang out.

   "Yeah yah yah..."

   "Dunk! Old K dunked O'Neal! He dunked O'Neal..."

  The two on-site commentators started screaming frantically.

   "It's great! It's great..." Su Qun shouted excitedly.

   "Haha..." Zhang Reasonable laughed happily.

  On the Suns bench, Zhu Fangyu and a group of substitute players were excitedly waving white towels and yelling at the court.

  Under the basket, Pharaoh looked down at O'Neal under him, but dismissed it, turned around, and celebrated with his teammates.

   "Hohohoho..."

   O'Neill was lying on the floor, panting like a cow.

"brush!"

   Extra penalty hit, 2:5, the Suns lead by 3 points.
