Chapter 1061: 1061. Convincing the Media!

  Yao Ming averaged 23.5 points, 10.5 rebounds, 2 assists and 2.5 blocks per game. He defended Howard with an average of 14.5 points, 9 rebounds, 1.25 steals and 1.75 blocks per game.

  Liu Xiu can only pray for Brother Yao from the air, if the Magic team is really so accurate all the time, really, no one will be able to help!

  The Pistons can still hold on to the big score, purely relying on Yao Ming's huge advantage when facing Howard.

  In addition to the competition, the current hot topic is the regular season awards that are constantly being announced.

   Hornets general manager Jeff Bauer won the Best Manager Award; Rockets' Granger won the Most Improved Award.

  The Sportsmanship Award was won by Grant Hill, who has been in full attendance for two consecutive seasons.

   The best sixth man was won by Jason Terry of the Mavericks.

  After Terry gave up the starting lineup to Kidd last season, he devoted himself to scoring off the bench. This season, he averaged 19.6 points per game. He once averaged 20+ points per game in the early part of the season... and won 113 out of 115 first-place votes.

  The remaining two first ballots were taken away by outlaw lunatics.

  Outlaw fanatics ranked second with two first votes and 14.1% of the score.

  A few years ago, the performance of the extrajudicial lunatic this season can definitely surpass the best sixth man. It is rare to see a substitute who performs well on both offense and defense, but now all teams are paying more and more attention to the substitute.

  Terry played as a substitute, just like Raheem ran to play as a substitute at his peak a few years ago, it was completely cheating!

  The best coach, Maurice Cheeks of the Trail Blazers defeated Mike Brown of the Cavaliers and won the best coach of the season!

   This is the third time Morris Cheeks has won the award in his coaching career, tying the historical record of 3 best coaches held by the magic operator and mad scientist!

  The awards that have not been announced in the regular season are only the best rookie, MVP, and DPOY awards.

  …

  Go back to Portland for a night of rest, May 1st, a new month is here.

  The Mavericks and the Rockets will have two days off after the first 4 games, and they will play Tianwangshan tomorrow.

  The Trail Blazers will take another day off today, and will start training tomorrow. The training direction is to adjust the tactical system according to the situation encountered in the first round.

There is a big difference between the regular season and the playoffs. Some of the aspects they played well in the regular season did not play well in the first round. The rules are the same, but the penalty scale is different. Some offensive methods need to be reduced or reduced. give up.

  But on the defensive end, there is more space to operate, and it's time for Bu Shuai and Mark Jackson to play.

  However, most of the teammates continued their holidays. Liu Xiu, Kwame Brown, Gasol Jr., Outlaw Fanatic, Hill and other core members of the defensive end were called to discuss the adjustment of the defensive end.

   With the level of effort in preparing for the game, Liu Xiu feels that they are heading towards surpassing the Lakers' best record in the playoffs of 15 wins and 1 loss.

  When he asked the coaching staff if they had this idea, the coach replied without hesitation: "We go for this every year, including last year."

   On the second day, on May 2, the league announced the Rookie of the Year award.

Westbrook of the Hornets and Greg Oden of the Grizzlies both received 52 first votes and 62 second votes. Both of them accounted for 30.95% of the total points. Rookie of the Year.

   Prior to this, there were only Dave Cowens and Geoff Petrie in the 70-71 season, Kidd and Hill in the 94-95 season, Francis and Brand in the 99-00 season.

   This is the fourth time in NBA history.

  But not two players selected in the same session won the best rookie at the same time. This is the first time in NBA history.

  Liu Xiu focused all his attention on the rookies before, forgetting that the emperor who averaged 13 points, 9 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 0.9 steals and 3.3 blocks per game is also a rookie!

  The most triple-double rookie since the Big O, and the first rookie block leader since Ball, they both won the best rookie, causing heated discussions.

  At night, the Mavericks defeated the Rockets 93-82 in the battle of Tianwangshan, making the big score 3-2!

  Although Hamilton, Granger, and Varejao showed full resilience, the Mavericks have been able to firmly suppress the Rockets.

   Liu Xiu watched the live broadcast of the game and remembered the "help" the Cavaliers brought to the Trail Blazers.

  Sometimes you need such a strong and difficult opponent to help you improve.

  The Rockets are the Mavericks' destined people.

   On the 3rd, the Trail Blazers began targeted training.

  The coaching staff agreed with Liu Xiu, thinking that the Mavericks should advance to the second round, and they decided to start training with the Mavericks as their preparations.

  If the Rockets really come back 4 to 3, that would be even better.

   Judging from the current situation, although the Rockets are difficult to play, they are just difficult to play.

   The Mavericks are obviously more horizontal!

   On the 4th, the G6 game day between the Mavericks and the Rockets has arrived, but today people's attention is not on them.

  The mosaic army's style of play, people's desire to explore after seeing their game is really not as good as facing a bunch of mosaics.

  Today is the day when the regular season MVP and DPOY are announced!

   The Trail Blazers are also very concerned about this day. They have a popular candidate for the best defensive player-Kwame Brown.

  This is the first time in the history of their team that someone has become a candidate for the best defensive player.

  After the morning training, the Trail Blazers players and some coaches huddled in a lounge in the Willamedy Garden training hall, waiting for the awards to be announced.

   At 12:00 noon, the live broadcast of US cable TV sports began. After Joke made an opening remark in his sharp voice, he began to introduce several popular candidates for the best defensive player.

Artest of the Raptors, Garnett of the Bulls, Howard of the Magic, Kwame Brown and Liu Xiu of the Trail Blazers, James of the Cavaliers, Kobe of the Lakers, Oden of the Grizzlies, Bynum of the Rockets, Duncan of the Spurs, Iguodala of the 76ers... Liu Xiu feels that there are so many candidates for the best defensive player this year!

  Anyway, the leader in rebounds, blocks, and steals are all on the list.

The comprehensive defensive highlights of the major candidates were shown on the TV for two minutes. Everyone’s defense was extremely good. Taller looks better.

After the highlights were played, Joke opened the box, took out the envelope, opened it, looked at the name on the letter and read: "Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of the NBA Defensive Player of the Year award in the 2008-2009 season is... from the Portland Trail Blazers Kwame Brown of the Patriots!"

   The lounge is boiling instantly!

  Everyone gathered around to congratulate the champion of parallel imports, while the butcher, Birdman and others made a treat for the champion of parallel imports.

  The details of the votes were posted on the TV.

  Averaging 29 minutes per game, scoring 8 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2 assists, 0.9 steals and 3 blocks, Kwame Brown won 77 of the 115 first-place votes and won the best defensive player with 41.2% of the total points.

  Howard got 27 first ballots and ranked second with 22.6% of the total score.

  Liu Xiu is very confident that Kwame Brown will win the best defensive player this year. If someone on the Trail Blazers has the conditions to win a certain award, then the probability of winning the award will be very high.

   73 wins, the media have to give some awards to his teammates and coaches, if it weren't for Terry who didn't talk about martial arts and went to the game to grab the best sixth man, the extrajudicial fanatic would also get this award.

   Otherwise, wouldn’t it appear that the warden is too powerful…

   He had to rely on so many powerful teammates and coaches for him to lead his team to 73 wins.

   But such a big gap in the number of votes surprised him.

This means that most people think that he should win the award based on the defensive performance of the Trail Blazers this season and Kwame Brown's defensive role. Take down the DPOY!

   The third vote was James, who got 6 first ballots and ranked third with 14.7% of the total score.

   Liu Xiu saw that he also got the first vote, and he was in a good mood. The master did not have the first vote this year, but Ariza had the first vote this year.

   Didn't pay attention to the number of votes anymore, the warden went up to congratulate the parallel import champion.

   Just as everyone was happily discussing **** the number one player in parallel imports after the season ended, a "I even bought Karma" resounded throughout the lounge.

  Everyone looked at the source of the voice. It was Grant Hill, the mildest and most polite man in the team.

  What's wrong with this guy?

  Everyone saw Hill staring at the TV in a daze, and put their eyes on the TV.

  The highlights are playing on the TV screen, Liu Xiu's.

  Next to the text - 2008-2009 regular season most valuable player.

   Not a 'candidate'!

   is the highlight that will be played after winning! Just now after the champion of parallel imports won the best defensive player award, he also played a long video alone like this!

   Soon, screams resounded through the lounge, and everyone went crazy!

  Everyone looked at Liu Xiu...the warden was stunned.

   This is the first time I saw such a warden!

  Before, after Liu Xiu won the award, although she didn't hold back when she turned on the disco mode, she was able to forcefully pretend to be aggressive in front of everyone at the beginning, maintaining a calm and casual expression.

  Anyway, in his cognition, his disco mode is behind people.

  This time, I really can't hold back!

   Another regular season MVP! 4 consecutive MVPs! Refreshed the longest consecutive MVP record of 3 consecutive MVPs held by himself, Russell, Chamberlain, and Bird!

  …

James, played in 81 games, averaged 28.8 points, 7.6 rebounds, 7.8 assists, 2 steals and 1 block per game, shooting 49% from the field, 34.4% from the three-point range, and 71.2% from the free throw... Got 21 first votes, with 20.45% The proportion of the total score ranks third.

Kobe, played 80 games, averaged 31 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.7 steals, and 0.5 blocks per game, shooting 51% from the field, 40.2% from the three-point range, and 86% from the free throw line... Got 28 first votes, with 27.14% The proportion of the total score ranks second.

Liu Xiu, played in 82 games, averaged 32.7 points, 7.9 rebounds, 7.3 assists, 2.86 steals and 1.06 blocks per game, shooting 51.9% from the field, 41.6% from the three-point range, 2.9 three-pointers per game, and 91% from the free throw line...Get With 66 first votes and 34.2% of the total points, he won the MVP of this season's regular season.

Liu Xiu, Kobe, James, the difference in votes between the three is not big. In terms of the number of votes received, Kobe and James both got more votes than Liu Xiu, but Liu Xiu got more first votes, relying on the fact that the two competitors had two votes. Double or even triple the number of votes for the first place, stealing the MVP!

  Joke After the awards were announced, the basketball world shook!

   This is considered an 'upset', but Liu Xiu won the MVP, so not many people think it is strange.

  73 wins, scoring champion, stealing champion, 180 clubs, first place in triple-double list, three 10+ consecutive victories... This season Liu Xiu's personal data and team performance are very, very good.

   Just because he has been the MVP for 3 consecutive times, not many people put him in the discussion of MVP winners.

   Even the media people who voted for him didn't mention Liu Xiu much when predicting the MVP winner.

  Therefore, a strange situation has emerged—the media people who voted for Liu Xiu are more likely to ‘vote as they wish’.

Some experts and reporters who were invited to vote felt that Liu Xiu had performed at the MVP level, and that Liu Xiu was the best performer this season, but they felt that not many people voted for him who had already been the MVP for 3 consecutive times, and then they voted for the 3rd consecutive MVP. One vote was given to him... Everyone felt that he was the special one, and they didn't tell others.

  When the mentality of the voters was known to the fans, instead of making people think they were unprofessional, on the contrary, many passers-by felt that the warden was too strong!

   This has convinced the media!

   You must know that even if you are the MVP for 3 consecutive times, the Trail Blazers are still the role of 'villain', and the warden is still the leader of the villain.

   And the warden actually asked the media who targeted him to vote for him when he felt that he could not get the MVP!

   There are so many such reporters and experts, so many that they exceed half of the voters, so many that Liu Xiu's "jedi reversal", "big upset", and 4 consecutive MVPs!

   On Liu Xiu's side, the whole team went crazy, and the fans went crazy with joy. Outside the Willamedy Garden training hall and the Rose Garden arena, they all entered the celebration mode of huge crowds of people again.

  The media went crazy too. The result of this vote was beyond everyone's expectations, and the votes were voted by everyone again... Hype first!

   The stars who are playing in the playoffs have different reactions.

  The Silver Horn King praised Liu Xiu in an interview with the media, Yao Ming also started the boasting group mode, and Wang Zhizhi praised a wave more implicitly...

   Some people are different. James, who has already defeated the Celtics 4-1 and advanced, refused to be interviewed.

  This time he couldn't keep the smiling face that a courtesan should have...

   Kobe, at night, he soared 44 points, 18 rebounds and 4 assists, leading the Lakers to a 113-91 slaughter against the Nuggets. The Lakers advanced to the second round 4-2.

  18 rebounds, Kobe's career playoff rebounds record high, before he had 16 rebounds in a single game in the 2001 playoffs against the Kings.

   Beast was not so lucky. The day before yesterday, the Magic lost to the Pistons 91-97 in G5.

  Tonight, not even one of the first votes was received. The mentality was greatly affected and the very unhappy Beast made 5 of 11 shots and 3 of 9 free throws. He only scored 13 points, 9 rebounds and 2 blocks.

  Yao Ming made 9 of 14 shots, plus 6 of 7 free throws, scored 24 points, 16 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, leading the Pistons to a 91-78 victory over the Magic.

   4 to 2, the Pistons advanced to the second round!
