Chapter 745 742: The last chip away from the first place (5.5k votes requested)

After the first round of the series, when Wayne achieved the historic achievement of ranking first for both teams in five statistics and said "It's nothing", people started complaining that Wayne was simply the King of Versailles.

Even Bird King couldn't stand it, it was so pretentious!

But at this time, the fans just want to kneel down and say: "Brother Wei, we were wrong!"

Everyone thought Wayne was in Versailles, but now they realize that Wayne was just stating the facts.

Because Wayne proved with actual actions that it was indeed nothing.

No, Wayne did it again in the second round.

In the five-game series, he averaged 29.4 points, 12 rebounds, 11 assists, 2.2 steals and 2.8 blocks per game.

Both teams ranked first in five statistics.

In terms of scoring, Adu, who is closest to Wayne, averages 29.2 points per game.

In the original history, Adu averaged 30 points per game in the Western Conference semifinals, but because of this historical Western Conference semifinals, only 5 games were played, with Wayne defending Adu, and Adu even pulled in the last game.

As a result, points per game have also declined.

Wayne narrowly defeated the game by 0.2 points and occupied the top spot in the scoring list.

Averaged 12 rebounds per game, which is unrivaled. Ibaka, who is closest to Wayne, only averages 8.9 rebounds per game.

He averages 11 assists per game, which is very close to Gui Shao's 10.7 assists.

If Agui didn't pull in the fifth game and didn't pass so many inexplicable balls, Wayne's assists might not be as high as Agui.

But then again, if the Thunder didn't pull in Game 5 and Wayne didn't clock out early, his data would have been even better.

He averaged 2.2 steals per game, only 0.1 more than Turtle. He averaged 2.8 blocks per game, which was far better than Durant's 1.7 per game.

Although the three statistics of points, assists and steals, Wayne does not have an overwhelming advantage and is only slightly ahead of his opponents.

But in competitive sports, there is no difference between a little bit and a hundred million bits.

The highest is the highest. Wayne ranked first in five statistics of both teams in two consecutive rounds. This is a fact!

Such a record is unprecedented. Good guy, Wayne said that I would only come twice.

Moreover, if we talk about playing Mosaic in the first round, Wayne abused his skills to achieve such a record.

If we play against the Thunder in the second round, the value of this record will be very high.

He can beat Durant in scoring, beat Gui Shao in assists, and beat Ibaka in blocks and rebounds.

It's a miracle.

What Wayne said was nothing, it turned out to be true!

Sitting in the press conference hall, Wayne himself looked confused.

In five categories of data, no one from the two teams combined surpassed me?

Why are you so bad? You make me very sad!

I want to be low-key!

It can only be said that Wayne in the playoffs is really different from the regular season.

During the regular season, Wayne gave more shooting opportunities to his son, and his son lived up to expectations and won the scoring title.

But in the playoffs, Wayne is the undoubted first choice.

After all, in the more targeted playoffs, Wayne's offensive ability is better than Curry. This is an indisputable fact.

And because Curry mainly played without the ball after his comeback, allowing Wayne to be the main point guard, Wayne's assists have remained high.

While scoring by yourself, you also have to pass the ball to the team's second scoring point. Can this number of assists be too low?

As for rebounds, steals and blocks, because Wayne played much harder in the playoffs than in the regular season, these statistics are naturally high.

Facing a group of reporters in the audience, Wayne didn't know what to say.

Unintentionally, Versailles made people speechless. Unintentionally, Versailles made people speechless.

With the support of both teams ranking first in five statistics in two consecutive rounds of the series, people increasingly feel that Wayne is not far away from Mike Joe.

Many media even said that Wayne is only one championship away from being the first in history.

The first person in history is not like the scoring champion or MVP, he has clear selection criteria.

It just depends on the fans' reputation.

So in the eyes of many people, Wayne is now the number one player in history.

Because like Jordan, he dominated almost all opponents of his generation and set one inhuman record after another.

Of course, the record for the lowest score in the Three-Point Contest still belongs to Mike Joe.

However, Wayne's historical status depends on the results of the next games this season.

If Wayne fails to win the championship this year, everything will be in vain.

Because if Wayne fails to win the championship this year, it will be equivalent to him coming back to tell everyone: "I'm not that good after all."

Although the requirement of winning the championship is very demanding, if you want to become the first-level figure in history, how can you be less demanding?

After playing in the Western Conference semifinals, Wayne also set his sights on the Golden State Warriors.

In the game the night before yesterday, the Warriors had already turned the series score into 3-2.

If they win one more game, they can defeat the Spurs and successfully advance.

Wayne took a look at the Warriors' statistics and found that the Warriors trio was really not easy to mess with.

Paul is currently averaging 22.2 points and 9.5 assists per game, Green is averaging 21.4 points, 7.5 assists and 11.2 rebounds per game, and Thompson is averaging 31 points per game and shooting 50% from three-point range.

Man, it's a miracle that the Spurs can hold on until now.

Paul can hit the ball, Green can hit the ball, and Tang Shen is just a catch-and-shooter.

If it weren't for Aldridge's consecutive explosions and the best playoff performance of his career, the Spurs would probably be gone.

Although the series is not over yet, Wayne estimates that the Spurs will most likely kneel down.

It seems that this year's Western Conference finals will still be Warriors VS Trail Blazers!

Fate is so wonderful.

During training the next day, Wayne discovered that Artest had entered the weight room early today and came out after practicing until he was covered in sweat.

This whole season, Wayne has never seen Artest so serious and diligent.

Wayne thought Artest had also been infected by the atmosphere of the decisive battle before the Western Conference Finals. In the afternoon, Artest came to Wayne and said: "Come on, brother, in the Western Conference Finals, you play well, and I will play Green well!"

Wayne:? ? ?

Good guy, we have been training together for a long time just for Green!

Artest has to play against the Warriors, but he coughs when playing against other teams.

Only by playing against the Warriors can he show his greatest value.

Green did continue his previous style in the series against the Spurs.

For example, when an opponent's player falls down together, he or she will start to perform jujitsu on the spot without letting the player stand up.

Another example is, when blocking a teammate, just drop your shoulders and push the opponent away, etc.

Of course, the most serious one was Green's foul on Kawhi.

It was the third quarter of the second game of the series. Kawhi broke through with the ball and prepared for a layup. Naturally, Green jumped up actively and prepared to block.

However, seeing that there was no hope of blocking the shot, Green grabbed Kawhi's arm directly in the air!

You know, both of them were in the air at the time, and they were flying in completely opposite directions.

If you grab the opponent's arm so forcefully, it's easy to get injured.

Sure enough, Kawaii was knocked to the ground, which made even the old thieves tremble with fear.

If there was something wrong with Kawhi, there would be no need to play this game.

Well, now I know it hurts.

It can only be said that he is paying off debts for the things Bowen did back then.

Kawaii: Why do you want to pay me back for what Bowen did? Damn it!

This kind of foul is just the tip of the iceberg.

Many people on the Spurs have suffered from Green.

There is no way. After the Spurs let James Johnson go a few years ago, this team lacked a hitter role.

If you are bullied, you can only endure it.

The former evil master and old thief now finally understands the feeling of being evil.

And what Green did to Spurs players is very likely to happen to Trail Blazers players.

As the responsible captain of the security team, Artest has naturally been training intensively recently, striving to do a good job in security work and creating a safe, fair and sunny playing environment for everyone!

Wayne nodded approvingly, it's a good idea you have.

But mostly I'm worried.

You keep yelling at me to save you!

In fact, Wayne was completely overthinking this.

Although Artest was a scumbag at the beginning of the 21st century, now, Artest is a real villain.

There are really not many people who dare to compete with him.

That night, just as Wayne expected, the Warriors defeated the Spurs 118-106 in San Antonio.

Paul had 23 points and 11 assists, Thompson had 37 points, Green Green had 16 points, 12 rebounds and 7 assists.

The Warriors relied on their five-small lineup in the final quarter to completely dismember the Spurs.

As for the Spurs, there are actually not many people available this season, and the GDP is really old.

Parker averaged 10.8 points and 5.7 assists per game, and Ginobili averaged 6.5 points per game.

Duncan, who just won the trophy the year before last, only had 6 points and 3.8 rebounds in this series.

The Spurs seem to have a lot of rotation players, but in fact only Aldridge and Kawhi can play.

After the game, Deng Shu looked at the Warriors players celebrating their victory without saying a word.

People don't know at this time that this is Duncan's last game in the NBA.

From now on, the legend of eating T with a smile will no longer exist.

Of course, you don’t need to be too sad.

Because many years later, fans will probably receive this news: Unfortunately, Duncan was disqualified from the Hall of Fame and ejected from the venue because he laughed on stage.

After the game, the reporter found Paul. The Warriors leader has led the team to the Western Conference Finals for the second consecutive year.

And their opponent has long been determined to be the Trail Blazers.

Compared with last season, the Warriors have changed a lot, and the Trail Blazers have also changed a lot.

Reporters also asked Paul if he had the confidence to defeat the Trail Blazers again.

Pao'er's eyes were firm, and he knew that Brother Wei was watching TV.

So, he made a challenge to Wayne through the screen.

"A champion is still a champion until he falls, and we are still the strongest team in the Western Conference!"

Wayne looked at it and called him "good guy," a Western Conference champion who was stunned by you and made him look like a championship.

At this point, the matchup in the Western Conference has been determined.

In the end, the Trail Blazers and Warriors fought off a number of strong opponents, and the Western Conference Finals was still a sequel to last season.

Wayne looked at Paul, not feeling anything special yet.

But Curry looked at Paul and couldn't help but clenched his fists.

In the Western Conference Finals, it's time to fight hard again.

The next day, the NBA officially announced the selection results of this year's best defensive player.

Prior to this, several regular season awards had been announced, but none of them caused any uproar.

The Most Improved Player is C.J. McCollum of the Mavericks, the Sixth Man of the Year is Crawford, and the Rookie of the Year Towns.

Well, it was the 91 Mr. Tang who couldn't hit anyone and made his own European step layup.

No way, even though he was so embarrassed, he was indeed the best performer among this rookie class.

For the first three awards, the winners did not have enough celebrity seats, and the discussion they caused was only average.

But today's Best Defensive Player Award is very eye-catching.

Because the competition for this award this year is extremely fierce.

In addition to Kawhi, the DPOY winner last season, there are also new stars Chai Dan and Wayne, the return of the king!

The discussion has been very intense as to whether Kawhi will win consecutive awards, Green will start a new career, or Wayne, the former three consecutive DPOY, will regain his honor.

After all, all three of them made great contributions on the defensive end.

Kawhi and Green were both very nervous this morning, constantly checking their phones to wait for the results.

But Wayne is very calm, because in his opinion, no one else can take away this award!

At 11 o'clock at noon, Wayne, who was on his way to the arena, heard the ring of his cell phone, so he walked over and picked up the phone.

Sure enough, it was Patterson calling.

"Wey, best defensive player, best defensive player! Haha, you are now the person who has won the best defensive player the most times in NBA history, no one!

We will hold a press conference for you in the afternoon and award you the award.

Congratulations, as long as you come back, others will have no chance at all! "

Patterson's voice was filled with emotion, and Wayne just chuckled.

Kawhi and Green are both good defensively, but they both have shortcomings.

Only Wayne has no shortcomings on the defensive end.

As the top player this season, as long as Wayne does not stretch his hips, most people will be inclined to vote for him, so from the beginning, Wayne felt that there was no suspense about this award at all.

Won the DPOY trophy for the fifth time in his career, the most in history.

And if the next MVP is also obtained

5 regular season MVPs are enough to equal Jordan!

Far away in Auckland, Chai Dan looked at the final result of DPOY and covered his head in frustration.

For a player like him, DPOY is almost the ultimate honor that he can achieve in his life.

MVP, FMVP, these have almost nothing to do with Green.

But even this only thought was now destroyed by Wayne.

Green was very angry. He felt that his performance was not bad. Wayne won the award simply because he was famous.

Fortunately, the Trail Blazers and Warriors will meet in the playoffs next.

When the time comes, Green will use his own method to prove who is the best defensive player in the league!

In the afternoon, Wayne won his fifth DPOY trophy in the press conference hall.

As a DPOY in the first three consecutive years, he was able to win DPOY again as soon as he came back two years after retiring. It's almost fair to say that Wayne dominated this award.

I can give you this thing, but you can't steal it.

For this, Wayne emphatically thanked Curry. If he hadn't been targeted every day for several years, Wayne wouldn't have had so many opportunities to help defend and block shots.

In recent days, Wayne has also noticed that something is not right with Curry.

This guy has become very serious and has completely lost the funny atmosphere of the past.

And as the Western Conference Finals approaches, his state is getting worse.

Therefore, Wayne originally wanted to amuse the elementary school students with this joke.

Unexpectedly, after returning to the locker room, the primary school student still had a serious expression. He just congratulated Wayne and went to the training ground with the basketball in his arms.

Looking at Curry pushing out the door, Carter also shrugged at Wayne.

"It's been like this since the Western Conference semifinals. This is the first time I've seen my nephew be so serious."

Wayne recalled the scene last season when Curry took painkillers on the spot but still failed to lead the team to the finals.

"For him, this is his most important game. He will not let the fans here again fail."

Wayne smiled, followed him out with a basketball in his arms.

On the training ground, accompanied by a trainer, Curry was shooting wildly.

He knows very well that the Warriors are a more difficult opponent than the Thunder.

The Thunder is great, mainly because of its two young men. If the two young masters were pressed to death, the game would be over.

But the Warriors are different. They are a team with strong stars and a complete system.

Their defense is extremely fierce and their offense is very stable.

With the duo of Green and Paul, the Warriors' offense never seems to stall.

"I will never be inaccurate again in this series, Brother Wei." While shooting, the primary school student talked to Wayne.

In the last round against the Thunder, Curry's performance was generally impeccable. But there was indeed a game where it was iron-clad. Not only was it iron-clad, but it was also shot by Robertson.

Curry knows that this kind of thing must not happen when playing against the Warriors.

"I'm not worried about you missing the mark at all."

"Also, I won't let Chris Paul do whatever he wants."

"I know you guarded Durant at a critical moment. I don't doubt you at all, Stephen. Because you are the best player I have ever worked with." Wayne walked up and touched Curry's hand. head.

Now, what Wayne has to do is to make Curry forget last year's defeat and play this year's game with confidence.

Well, if Paul had been at the scene, he would probably have severed the father-son relationship with Wayne on the spot.

Sure enough, love will disappear!

"Well, this time, we will definitely win to the end and go to the finals!" Curry nodded vigorously, the two looked at each other and smiled, and then started shooting together to prepare for tomorrow's first game.

I don't know how long he had been practicing. Wayne was throwing and throwing when he suddenly heard a familiar call: "Wei, your daughter asked you to go home and read her a bedtime story."

Wayne turned his head, and sure enough, his wife was here.

"How did you come?"

"What's more, you haven't been home for dinner in a few days? My daughter misses you.

And your son, after you sent him to Los Angeles, did you really entrust him with full authority over Kobe? When will you take him home? "

"What!? In addition to Curry and Paul, I have a son? Damn, I almost forgot!" Wayne pretended to be surprised, while Sharapova shook her head.

Since my husband's comeback, his condition seems to have worsened again.

"Go home and have a good rest before you can play the game tomorrow. And you, Stephen, too."

After Sharapova finished speaking, she saw several trainers besides Wayne and Curry.

I thought to myself that it would be a bit embarrassing for Wayne to drag him home like this.

The famous Wei Zhanshen is actually a strict wife. If this news spreads, let others think.

Even though she was at home, Sharapova took the initiative during physical training.

But outside, you still have to give men enough face.

So, Sharapova picked up a basketball and stood on the free throw line: "Well, let's make a bet. If I score this ball, will you go home with me?"

Before Wayne and Curry could react, Sharapova was on the free throw line. With her back to the basket, she leaned back and threw the ball backwards toward the basket.

After all, he is also a professional athlete, so he still has some sports skills. The basketball hit the backboard and bounced into the frame. Sharapova raised her arms: "Let's go! I'm willing to admit defeat!"

Wayne spread his hands to everyone: "Hey, I can't help it, I'm a bit unlucky. You can continue practicing, I'll leave first."

After walking into the tunnel, Wayne kissed his wife.

"There is a game tomorrow and you can't go home to eat. Don't be angry."

"I'm not angry, I'm just worried about your health, silly. After this season, what are your plans? Will you renew your contract?"

Wayne shrugged, he could just keep fighting, there were many things he could do without fighting.

But the premise is to win the championship, which is the biggest purpose of Wayne's comeback.

"Besides, we're not done yet with this season."

The streets of Portland are brightly lit at night, filled with posters of Wayne and fans wearing No. 0 jerseys. The atmosphere of the Western Conference Finals is very strong.

Sharapova looked at the scene on the street, then turned to look at the co-pilot, shook her head and smiled.

Portland's hero fell asleep leaning against the car window tiredly.
