271: The duel between the two heroes kicks off (4.7K(1/2)
"Yao, if Wei can be half as good as you, then he will be a perfect person."
The day after the Trail Blazers swept the Jazz, when Kobe saw Yao Ming in the locker room, he sighed.
"Did he say anything to you again?" Yao Ming smiled. Without asking, he knew that Wayne must have gotten into trouble with Kobe again.
"He actually told me to hurry up and said he was tired of waiting. Damn, I'll see if he can hurry up when the sun shines!"
Sure enough, Wayne swept the Jazz, how could he wait for the next round of games?
This guy Wayne is good at everything, he just has a big mouth.
"It's okay, he is joking with you. We will also win the Spurs today, won't we?"
"Of course! Winning a game for them is enough to give them face. 4 to 1. We are not gangsters like Wayne, so we only come to Gentleman Sweep."
What Kobe said was so true that Odang Dang next to him couldn't stand listening.
He was worthy of Kobe for speaking of losing in such a gentlemanly manner.
If it weren't for the sake of being brothers, Odang would have had to chat with Kobe for a while.
"By the way, Lamar, how is your little boy doing?"
Just as Odom was thinking about it, Nacai really came to him.
"Which one is smaller?"
"That was the one who got knocked down the fastest in Mount Auburn back then."
"Pfft, you're talking about Ron..." Odom almost couldn't hold back his laughter. It turned out that Yasuko's biggest impression on people was the fastest knockdown record in Auburn Hills.
He must send a text message later to kill that guy!
"He's... very good. Since he doesn't have to play in the playoffs anyway, he might go back to playing music. What's wrong? Why are you mentioning him all of a sudden?"
"Nothing, just asking casually. I think that guy is quite a man when we play against the Kings in the regular season this year.
Well, nothing. Everyone, our goal today is one, to advance to the Western Conference semifinals!
We don’t have to be number one in the regular season, but we must strive for number one in the rest!
Even the speed of promotion, we cannot fall behind!
Everyone, cheer up. Let Popovich's head move tonight!"
"Hey, move your head!" Everyone in the Lakers locker room echoed.
Well, he's such a damn gentleman that he can move people's heads at every turn.
Yao Ming shook his head, Wayne, Wayne, it's not good for you to provoke anyone.
You have provoked the most unworthy person in the entire league.
At this time, Wayne, who was sitting in the locker room, was smiling from ear to ear.
What is this called?
This is called killing someone with a borrowed knife!
Borrow Kobe's knife to move Popovich's head.
Anyway, there is still one round left before the Western Conference Finals, and Kobe's anger will have already dissipated by then.
Now let Kobe move faster, who will be the worst offender?
Spurs!
Wayne just doesn't want the Spurs to stay in the playoffs.
Especially when the Suns are about to play in the next round, Wayne is more likely to think about what the Spurs did back then, and the more he thinks about it, the more disgusted he becomes.
So, let him try the righteous judgment of the Hell Snake!
Tonight, well, I hope the Spurs can enjoy it.
Wayne was fucking the Spurs through the air.
Even if they don't meet in the playoffs, the old Vitch can't escape the clutches of Wayne.
There is no need to watch tonight's game between the Spurs and the Lakers. Thank God if the Spurs can lose within ten points.
What Wayne really needs to study tonight is the Suns game tape.
Although in the last game of the regular season, Paoer used his active confrontation to slightly contain Nash.
But the playoffs are certainly not that simple.
Although Nash has physical defects and was born with spondylolisthesis, he is actually a tough guy with a tough style.
In the original history, Nash was tortured in various ways in this year's playoffs, but he was still slightly injured and could not get out of the firing line, carrying the team forward.
Therefore, if you want to simply use your body to squeeze him in the playoffs, it is impossible to completely restrict that guy.
McMillan has also been under a lot of pressure recently. Although he swept the Jazz, he feels even more worried.
How to contain Phoenix Sun and make his hair volume plummet.
Just as the tension in the Western Conference semifinals was getting stronger and stronger, that afternoon, the league announced the results of this year's best defensive team.
Prior to this, the league had announced the winners of several regular season awards.
Donnie Walsh was the first to complain because this year's Rookie of the Year was awarded to the Pacers' Brandon Roy.
Last summer, his trade of Wayne for Roy + Ade was initially considered to be worthwhile.
Ade doesn't know it yet, but Roy has definitely shown the potential to become a superstar.
The only drawback is that Roy has only played 57 games this season, and injury risks are beginning to appear, which is incomparable to Wayne's attendance rate back then.
Although Wayne has never played all 82 games in his career, everyone knows that it has nothing to do with injuries...
The Best Sixth Man Award was awarded to "Brazilian Lightning" Barbosa.
Averaged 18.1 points per game and shot 43.4% from three-point range. Barbosa, the Sixth Man of the Year, deservedly won the award.
Speaking of which, facing Barbosa in the next round is also a challenge.
The Most Improved Player Award was awarded to Monta Ellis. It's a pity that the Golden State Gang's eight-year miracle will not be seen in this history.
As for the best defensive player, Marcus Camby, the "template" who made Wayne work hard to add shot-blocking attributes, got the award as he wished.
He averaged 11.7 rebounds, 3.3 blocks and 1.2 steals per game. His defensive statistics are really good.
But the real defensive effect, well...
Anyway, it was the reporters who voted. It can be said that Canby captured the psychology of those reporters.
In their view, if you block more shots, you will lose. This evil trend of voting based only on data will take a few years to get better.
None of the awards announced so far have anything to do with pioneers.
Just when everyone thought Wayne would get nothing like last season, a Trail Blazers player finally appeared on the list of the best defensive team.
The best defensive team, the guards are two old enemies, Kobe Bryant and Laja Bell.
The center position is naturally the best defensive player Marcus Camby.
The two forwards are Duncan and Wayne!
This is the first time in Wayne's career that he has entered the defense.
In fact, Wayne had a chance to enter last season, but the competition last season was indeed too fierce.
Kirilenko and Zitai occupied the forward positions for the first team, which resulted in players like Duncan and Harder being forced to settle in the second team.
Wayne can only regret losing the election.
This also directly led to Wayne winning nothing last season and not winning any regular season awards, which was in sharp contrast to the first year when he won N awards.
But this year, when he started to walk, Wayne jumped directly over the second line, took one step to his stomach, and pushed him for a while.
It's really top-notch.
The length is impressive.
Being able to join the defensive line during his rookie contract is something that only a person of Duncan's level can do.
Wayne's selection to the All-Defensive Team gave Trail Blazers fans a lot of confidence.
We have one of the strongest defensive forwards in the league, and the focus of the playoffs is defense. We are invincible!
D'Antoni smiled: "Fighting on defense? Sorry, Laga Bell is from the Suns."
Well, someone from the Suns actually stepped into the defensive line, which is really surprising.
Otherwise, this year's Suns are closest to the championship?
Because D'Antoni reluctantly brought in two people who could defend.
There is Raja Bell on the outside and Kurt Thomas on the inside. They are both masters who can defend and shoot.
Although they still can't make the Suns' defense directly rank among the league's top level, it is still better than before when they had no defense at all.
With Kurt Thomas at the fifth position, Marion can return to the third position, and the defense won't suffer so much.
Therefore, the sun is really confident this year.
Wayne looked at Laga Bell's name and touched his chin.
Perhaps, this year's Western Conference semifinals may not be as fun a battle as expected.
In the first round against the Jazz, it was basically like encountering a dead fish.
But in the second round, things really turned upside down, and I was sweating profusely in a hand-to-hand fight.
That night at Staples, Popovich looked livid.
He didn't know what happened, and he didn't know why Kobe was angry.
As soon as he came out today, Kobe put on his fierce grinning expression.
To be continued...
