This Forward is Not Serious

The game between the Celtics and Knicks was not as intense as imagined.

The Celtics played very tough, but their toughness did not have much effect in front of the Knicks.

To sum it up in the simplest sentence: The Knicks are ridiculously strong right now.

Originally, Richardson's injury was a big hidden danger, but in the end, he was directly replaced by Prince, who had a very high attendance rate.

This biggest risk was avoided in one fell swoop.

And in the previous buyout free market, they also signed Francisco Garcia, a Dominican shooter who grew up in New York.

The 31-year-old veteran sacrificed most of his salary to chase his championship dream.

His addition also guarantees the Knicks' seemingly thin backup small forward.

And don't be surprised. In fact, Garcia is not the only one who wants to go to the Knicks at this year's buyout deadline, but the others have not been able to reach an agreement.

For a 6-star team, a team that can see the championship base at a glance, it would be strange if the veterans didn't all sharpen their heads and dig in.

So up to now, the Knicks have led the Celtics 3-1.

And the next game is at the Knicks' home court. If nothing else happens, the Knicks will also finish the game within five games like the Nets.

The most exciting New York Derby is about to take place.

It can be said that the Eastern side is basically booked, but the Western side is really passionate about playing.

Let’s talk about the Spurs and Lakers first. They are the first conference semifinals to start.

But until now, they have not come to a conclusion.

After 6 games, the two teams tied at 3-3!

Both sides will usher in a life-and-death tie-break!

The performance of this Spurs team so far has been incredible.

Although they performed well in the regular season, no one really thought they could play so well!

In addition, the game between the Thunder and the Mavericks was also extremely fierce.

After five games, the Mavericks lead 3-2.

In the Battle of Tianwang Mountain, Durant performed extremely well, but was unable to withstand Westbrook's defense at the critical moment and was too suffocated, and the Thunder ultimately lost.

Westbrook's performance is actually not bad, but there are always a few rounds where he suddenly loses power.

This is nothing in normal times, but in a real competition between strong teams, sometimes the outcome of the game depends on those few key rounds.

…

Two days later, the Celtics and Knicks game started first.

What people didn't expect was that the Knicks overturned at home!

The Celtics showed a more mature mentality than the Pacers. Pierce and Garnett's desire to win in desperate situations also drove Howard.

In the end, the Celtics made a comeback in the away game, changing the score to 2-3.

Moreover, the next game is at home for the Celtics, and the previous game that the Celtics won was also at home.

This time the suspense of the series begins again.

If this really drags into a tiebreaker, the outcome will really become a 50-50 decision.

This result also gave the Nets, who were ready to start their trip to the Eastern Conference Finals... at least two more days of rest.

At the end of the training session that day, a bunch of people were talking and laughing in the locker room.

"Tyson, how long has it been since you shaved?"

Deron looked at Chandler with a curious expression.

He had a beard, and Chandler had a beard.

Therefore, the two usually have some exchanges in this regard.

For example, how to maintain your beard and what style is most suitable.

Lin Ying heard the exchange between the two and turned his eyes curiously.

Because Chandler's beard wasn't short before, he didn't pay much attention to it, but looking at it, it was indeed a hundred million points longer.

"Are you going to imitate Dirk in growing a beard?"

Lin Ying teased with a smile.

"how do you know?"

Chandler looked at Lin Ying with curiosity.

Yes, it's right.

But this is interesting.

Nowitzki is probably starting a trend of growing beards.

If the Nets can win the championship this season, there will only be more people with beards in the future.

This is quite interesting to think about.

"Lin, which team in the Western Conference do you want to play in the finals?"

Chandler and Lin Ying chatted and asked.

Lin Ying stared at Chandler carefully for a while, then nodded.

After checking his eyes, although Chandler definitely looks like a general on stage, he shouldn't be at Durant's level.

"I hope to play a game with the Lakers."

Before Lin Ying could answer, Delong spoke first.

The three of them chatted and really didn't care who asked whom.

Deron's answer is very true, he must want to play against Paul.

"I want to play Mavericks."

Chandler's next answer was a bit harsh.

He was abandoned by the Mavericks, and he also wanted to prove himself in front of Yao Ming.

"Thunder."

Lin Ying also gave his own answer.

Although he feels that currently, the probability of the Thunder being the four teams is the smallest.

This was the year in the history of the Spurs that they reached the Finals. If it hadn't been for Ray Allen's winning three-pointer, the Spurs might have been able to break the curse of being unable to win consecutive championships;

The Mavericks are the defending champions. After Yao Ming's comeback, their combat effectiveness has quickly rebounded. Don't think that there is a possibility that they will not defend the title. On the contrary, the possibility is very high;

Not to mention the Lakers. After failing to win the championship in 2008, Kobe was very scary in 2009, and the current situation is very similar to that time.

But this question is about thinking, of course he hopes to compete with his former partner and veteran general on the stage in the finals.

"Okay, if you have time to think about this, why not think about how to beat the Knicks in the next round. Our opponents will be much stronger."

However, Lin Ying quickly spoke again.

In fact, judging from the current performance, the strength displayed by the Knicks is the strongest among all teams.

Even if they are confident in themselves, the Nets are evenly matched against them.

…

One day later, before the G6 game between the Knicks and Celtics started, the league took the lead in announcing the winner of the regular season MVP.

The competition between the East and West is in full swing, and fans' attention to this result has not diminished.

Especially since several popular candidates have not been eliminated and have performed well, the buzz is actually getting louder and louder.

Finally at this time, the results came out.

The one who finally won the regular season MVP was... Lin Ying!

*MVP voting results:

Lin Ying: 30.8%

James: 23%

Kobe Bryant: 19.2%

Durant: 12.8%

Howard: 5.2%

Nowitzki: 3.3%

Duncan: 1%

…

The results of this vote are very similar to last year's, but the final result is reasonable.

The league's first record, the data is not the best but not much worse. Coupled with Lin Ying's good image, this MVP is expected.

Moreover, if you do the math, this is already Lin Ying’s 6th season!

Although he is not the kind of man who shows his absolute talent as soon as he enters the league, it is his turn!

But this result means that Lin Ying has officially become the third player after Jordan and Olajuwon to win MVP and DPOY in the same season!

The legend is officially born!

But like last season, this also caused huge controversy among fans.

"Didn't we agree on the Nike alliance? Why has it changed?"

"LinK shoes have already opened up in the North American market. Compared with Nike shoes, they are more affordable and of good quality. There are also several popular models such as LinK-1, LinK-3, and Link-6, but some people only choose them. Just ignore it.”

"I think LeBron should win the MVP no matter what this season. Record doesn't mean everything. Look at the Knicks' record after Bogut came back. If Bogut had not been injured, the Knicks would be firmly first in the league, and LeBron Brown’s numbers are significantly better.”

"Shit, Lin's performance this season is not outstanding? Does it have to be 27+7+7 to win the MVP? Look at the Nets. Deron is now the top three point guard in the league, and Chandler is the top inside player. Zakajia is the king of cakes, and even Johnson has regained his peak feeling. Isn't it the meaning of MVP to make the people around you better?"

"I couldn't agree more. Wade has almost become a second-rate guard, and Bosh has almost become a tool player. The total data of a team is limited. If there are many players and the data is good, then there is only one possibility: steal The data of teammates."

"Wade obviously has a knee injury, okay? Where is Bosh? The numbers are good with so many players, which shows that he is strong. He is the best scoring team, the best assist team, the best defensive team, all abilities He is the best on the team, shouldn't he have good statistics? Is it the original sin to have good statistics?"

"Then last season's MVP should be given to Lin? If Johnson hadn't been injured? This assumption is meaningless."

"Can Johnson compare to Bogut?"

"The league officially announced that Lin is the regular season MVP of the 2012~2013 season." A comment from "Lin Ying Fan Reset Version No. 1 Fan".

"That's because the reporters were blind. Just like Roy Hibbert said, it was obviously Stern who looked too ugly for the sake of flattery."

"Lin is the MVP." Comment from "Lin Ying Fan Reset Version No. 1 Fan".

"Durant is even more qualified to be elected MVP than Lin. In my heart, LeBron is the MVP."

"Lin is the MVP." Comment from "Lin Ying Fan Reset Version No. 1 Fan".

"%￥#@（*!"

…

Lin Ying learned the news at the end of training.

At that time, he returned to the locker room late because of extra practice. As a result, he was surrounded by his teammates as soon as he entered the door, and then a group of people poured water on his head that had been prepared in advance.

Listening to their shouts of MVP, he realized what was going on.

And there’s a reason why teammates are so excited.

Just like some fans said on social media, Lin Ying is making his teammates better.

And he won't deliberately collect statistics. The most typical one is G5. If it weren't for that mysterious basketball falling into his arms, his first triple-double in this playoff career would have been postponed.

Even from Butler to Crowder, Lin Ying is not stingy with the team's young players.

Coupled with his diligent training, the charm of the court is full again.

It's like playing basketball with your idol. Why wouldn't you be happy if your idol wins an award?

After the fuss was over, Lin Ying sat down and turned on his phone, only to find that there were many text messages and phone calls from familiar people.

There are 10 missed calls from Durant alone.

"Damn it, the guy who stole my MVP, answer my call quickly. I will train with you this summer, and you will pay for all the food!" - Durant;

"Congratulations on reaching the peak of your career. I look forward to meeting you in the finals." - Kobe Bryant;

"You are already better than me, and you will be a role model for all Chinese players." -Yao Ming;

"They told me the news. I knew you would do it." - George Carl;

"I miss the days of playing with you, becoming mvp is just the beginning for you." - Nash;

"Honey, what do you want me to wear tonight?" - Swift.

cough!

Lin Ying saw the phone and put it away.

It was at this time that he had time to calm down and face the fact that he won the MVP.

For players, the weight of regular season MVP is comparable to that of core championships.

So for Lin Ying, this is another substantial honor in his career.

Excited?

Exciting for sure.

But not particularly excited.

In the final analysis, it is because I have been mentally prepared before.

And now he cares more about the championship than the MVP.

However, you must show off when you win the MVP.

"Let's go, let's take you to have Chinese food! I'll let you know what a Man-Han Banquet is tonight!"

Lin Ying put down his phone and stood up, then spoke.

When he opened his mouth, he immediately received a burst of cheers from his teammates.

Lin Ying treated them to a meal before the start of the season, and they felt pretty good.

This time it sounded like something very interesting, so how could they not be interested?

…

One day later, the Knicks and Celtics played Game 6 at the North Shore Garden Arena in Boston.

The Celtics played with great momentum, beating the Knicks 8-0 in the opening game.

But soon, the Knicks, led by James, tied and overtook the score.

James' desire to attack was particularly strong tonight.

The Celtics showed their toughness and kept holding on to the score.

But as the game entered the fourth quarter, their physical fitness began to inevitably decline, which made them unable to stop James' performance.

James scored 17 points in a row in the final quarter and directly took away the Celtics.

And unlike that year when he scored 25 consecutive points to defeat the Pistons, his 17 points included 2 three-pointers.

Compared with that time, his offensive methods are obviously richer and more difficult to defend.

At the end of the game, James scored a huge triple-double with 40 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists.

It's hard to say that his performance has nothing to do with the previous MVP selection.

4 to 2.

It was a little more difficult than expected, but the Knicks won in the end.

In this way, the matchup in the Eastern Conference Finals is also announced, Knicks VS Nets!

The long-awaited conference finals derby is coming!

According to the fans' algorithm, the 6-star Knicks will face the 4-star Nets, the real number one in the league will face the fake number one in the league, the MVP in the hearts of "fans" will face the MVP announced by the league, the Kings will face the new challenger...

No matter which way you say it, the most anticipated series of this round is finally here!

On the same day, the tiebreaker between the Spurs and the Lakers in the Western Conference also came to its final conclusion.

With Paul's difficult rebound shot against Duncan at the last minute.gif, the Lakers eliminated the Spurs 103-101 and advanced to the Western Conference Finals!
