Healing Basketball

  Chapter 864 864. The happiness of men

  After the end of the regular season, the major media hype was mainly about the stat king, the record, and the ownership of the major awards.

  As the most valuable personal award, the MVP belongs to this topic, which is the most hyped.

   Liu Xiu looked at the predictions of the major mainstream media.

This is very important, because the main force of voting is these large media, and they account for more than 40% of the votes. Experts, broadcasters, non-contract commentators, etc., and these people actually wear the same pants as those large media. At most, T.N.T prefers Nash, and ESPN prefers James.

  He synthesized the prediction lists of major media and determined the list of MVP candidates in the minds of the media.

Nash, played 80 games, averaging 19.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, 11.7 assists and 0.8 steals per game, shooting 54.3% from the field, 46% from the three-point range, 2.2 three-pointers per game, 90.6% from the free throw line, and a record of 59 wins 23 negative.

  Duncan played 82 games, averaging 22.5 points, 11.59 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 0.8 steals and 2.4 blocks per game, shooting 50.4 from the field and 63.7% from the free throw line, with a record of 65 wins and 17 losses.

  Kobe, played 80 games, averaged 32.9 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2 steals and 0.6 blocks per game, shooting 47.9% from the field, 38.3% from the three-point range, and 87% from the free throw line. He has a record of 50 wins and 32 losses.

  Yao Ming, played 80 games, not full attendance for the first time in his career, averaging 25.8 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks per game, shooting 55.2% from the field and 86.2% from the free throw line, with a record of 67 wins and 15 losses.

   Garnett, played 75 games, averaging 20.4 points, 12.8 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1.4 steals and 2.2 blocks per game, shooting 49.1% from the field and 80.1% from the free throw line, with a record of 62 wins and 20 losses.

   Nowitzki played 78 games, averaging 24.6 points, 8.9 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game, shooting 46.2% from the field, 41.6% from the three-point range, and 90.4% from the free throw line. He has a record of 60 wins and 22 losses.

  With six competitors, Liu Xiu feels like a fight between gods this year.

His data and record, MVP competition, is still very promising, 60 wins and 22 losses, averaging 36.25 points, 8.17 rebounds, 6.09 assists, 2.54 steals, 0.74 blocks, 47.3% field goal percentage, 36.2% three-point field goal percentage per game Scored 2.6 three-pointers.

   Also scored a season-high 30 times of 40+ in a single game.

  7 50+ times ranked second this season, second only to Kobe's 14 50+ times in a single game.

The 7 times of 50+ in a single game can also rank eighth in history. The first is Chamberlain's 45 times, the second is Chamberlain's 30 times, the third is Kobe Bryant's 14 times, the fourth and fifth are both Chamberlain's 9 times, The sixth and seventh are Chamberlain's 8 times, and the ninth is Kobe's 6 times last season.

   In addition to this, there is another 81 points and one 95 points.

  He felt that the biggest problem for him to compete for the MVP was Lian Zhuang and his identity as a Chinese.

  The same problem exists with Yao Ming, the four insiders, and the media are undoubtedly more optimistic about the two No. 21s.

  Nash originally had a high probability, but in the curtain call, he won the direct confrontation with Nash, and he also had an absolute advantage in the 4 regular season matches. Without him, Nash should have a higher probability of winning the prize than the two No. 21s.

   But even with these two problems, after reading the predictions of the media, Liu Xiu felt that he still had a high probability of winning the MVP!

  Other awards, the best defensive player, and the two No. 21s are the most likely to win the award.

  The best rookie, Roy locks no suspense.

  Best sixth man, Manu Ginobili and Lamar Odom enter the competition, it is tantamount to a massacre for everyone else…

  …

   After a day off, on April 22, the Trail Blazers started training for the playoffs in an orderly manner.

  Although the rival Nuggets only had 47 victories, none of the Trail Blazers dared to be careless. They fought against the miners twice, and they lost both.

   But preparations are not difficult. There are two key points—how to limit the double guns and how to deal with the Nuggets insiders.

  Early this morning, Liu Xiu ushered in a new teammate—Osella Harrington.

  The second-round champion of the 96 golden generation, a 206 cm, 107 kg inside swingman.

  In terms of strength, he had the ability to become the main rotation of a strong team during his peak period, and now he is at the level of a water dispenser administrator.

  Last summer, he signed a non-guaranteed contract with the Bobcats. Three months ago, he just turned 33 years old. When the contract was about to become regular, he was waived by the Bobcats and did not find a job after that.

  The Trail Blazers still have a 15th man spot, which is empty before March 31 without finding an ideal veteran.

  After the regular season, the Trail Blazers signed Osella Harrington on McDyess's recommendation.

   As a water cooler keeper with a player who takes over after an injury, Osella Harrington is good enough.

  It was only then that Liu Xiu found out that McDyess, Francis, and Osella Harnington had played together since childhood.

  McDyess, who is honest and stable, Harnington, who is full of envy and jealousy towards the "lucky" people in his words, and Francis, who has a bold personality.

  The Nuggets arrived in Portland in the morning, and also came to the Willamedy Garden Training Center in the afternoon.

  In the evening, Liu Xiu and Anthony made an appointment for dinner, but this time they did not bring their teammates.

  When we parted after dinner, Liu Xiu said: "Before this second, we were brothers, and then we will be enemies."

  Anthony replied: "Hmph, you don't have a chance to continue laughing this time. I must be the one who wins! Clean your neck!"

  Liu Xiu replied: "I'll see how you behave."

   After speaking, the two turned around and walked in the opposite direction until they felt that they could not see each other, then called a taxi to pick them up to return to the hotel and go home...

  The two of them had a great time playing, but if no one else was around, it would be difficult to play like this if you bring other people, it would be very… shameful.

  …

   April 23rd, the first day of the 2006-2007 season playoffs arrived.

  The outside world is very noisy, but Liu Xiu's side is extraordinarily quiet—a round of the series begins, and he has entered the mode of shielding outside interference, focusing on preparing for the battle.

At 5 o'clock in the evening, he watched a section of the playoffs opener between the Pistons and the Nets. With McGrady's 8 points in a single quarter, Richard Jefferson's 6 points in a single quarter, Kidd scored two rounds. The three-point pass scored 6 points and 3 assists...The Nets led the Pistons by 4 points 27 to 23 in the first quarter...I saw him call it a good guy.

  Is this going to be black?

   Billups was also unlucky. He met Kidd again.

   Carter played against McGrady, and his performance was not as outstanding as his cousin.

  Although I really want to continue watching, I have to start warming up.

  At the end of the warm-up, the staff who received his instructions came to tell him that the Pistons won by reversing the Nets 100 to 92.

Yao Ming scored 22 points, 19 rebounds and 4 blocks on 9 of 13 shots. Carter scored 21 points on 8 of 19 shots. Although not as many as McGrady's 31 points, it gave Yao Ming enough support. Lupus' 12 points and 6 assists...the Pistons won the game.

   Liu Xiu was very happy with this result, Yao Ming won, but I still have some regrets...
