Chapter 747 MVP is enough, too much will overflow (7/58)
In the semi-final Game 2, Kyle Lowry caused some trouble for the 76ers.
Lowry is an expert in pushing and counterattacking, a conversion master, and can always make layups in fast attacks or by himself.
In the first half of the second game, Lowry's vision was incredibly wide in terms of his height.
The assists he sent were mainly "found" rather than "created".
Because of his height, he is not good at pick-and-roll inward cutting, so Valanciunas, a European White Bear who has played pick-and-roll since childhood, was very awkward when he was on the same court; because of his height, he is not good at long passes on the way through the breakthrough. His organizational method mainly comes from finding open teammates in counterattacks, or finding teammates in the penalty area when moving at high positions. His organizational expertise lies in vision and pass range, but if he encounters a tough and tall defensive team, his teammates cannot make room and need to squeeze out space with one-on-one challenge like Paul, he is stunned.
Therefore, the 76ers prescribed the right medicine, and the player led by Wei Xia blocked and stuffed his pass route.
When he sees an opportunity, he takes the ball very quickly, but when he can't see it, he has a tendency to stick to the ball. He is not alone, but he can't run the ball with a simple pass like Kidd.
In the second half, the Raptors hoped that Lowry would work hard to compete with Rondo and rebound with the inside.
The attack that the Raptors most wanted to see was Lowry to quickly advance after grabbing the rebound, because this was his most confident organizational method; when he entered the positional war, he did not have a reliable way of creating except for occasional surprise return passes.
He is not a player who can create miracles.
In the first half, Lowry's shining performance caused some trouble to the 76ers.
However, Wei Xia deliberately passed the ball today, protected the rebound, and unilaterally pursued comprehensive data.
At the end of the half, the reporter asked him whether the triple-double at halftime was proof that he could be as versatile as LeBron as long as he wanted.
Wei Xia shook her head gently, "Of course not. I don't want to prove that such a boring thing is something that young people do, I won't do it."
Wei Xia was unwilling to admit it, and the reporter did not force her.
In the second half, Wei Xia maintained an all-around performance with a wide radiation range, scoring a triple-double of 33 points, 14 rebounds and 11 assists in the whole game, leading the team to win.
This time, Dwyne Casey shut up.
The 76ers are too far from the Raptors, no matter what request he makes for Wei Xia. In the game, the 76ers have enough space and time to allow Wei Xia to brush out the data limited by Casey.
Coach Casey is worthy of being Song Xianggong in the league, so kind. He can be more vicious. For example, Wei Xia will never score 100 points in the playoffs. Or, he must not maintain a triple-double average at the end of the playoffs.
As long as he can make such a joke, Wei Xia will dare to admit defeat.
Coach Casey's face is not thick enough and cannot force others to do so, so Wei Xia can only meet his requirements again and again.
"I don't want to emphasize anymore. Wish this season represents the highest level in the world." Jay Wright reiterated Weisha's strength every night. "He is the source of strength of the 76ers, and he is our faith, courage, hope, and the source of all cores."
Wei Xia kept saying modestly: "I am just an ordinary member of this great team."
Really ordinary?
A day later, the league announced the winners of major regular season awards outside the MVP.
The most surprising award is DPOY.
Weisha defeated popular Jockin Noah.
He was elected DPOY for two consecutive years with a 6% vote.
Chicago media complained that Noah had encountered the "rule of giving way to the superstars."
They turned Noabbi into the Bob McAdoo C of that year. He won the scoring champion for three consecutive years in the 1970s. In his most prosperous year, he had the chance to be elected as an MVP, but the players who were still simple at that time purely thought that the MVP was to be cast for the strongest person. So they led the team to Jabbar, who stopped in the regular season, and shot into the MVP.
From then on, this phenomenon was called the media's law of giving way.
When two superstars compete for the same honor, if the gap is subtle, then the more prestigious person will win the honor.
Of course, this is all media voting. Sometimes the media doesn’t understand football so much, so accidents can occur.
The reasons why Weisha and Noah are used as defensive gates are similar.
They all support the team's defensive system with one person.
Noah is the inside, while Wei Xia is the outside. In terms of influence, Noah is above Wei Xia. However, Wei Xia also used his personal defensive radiation to alleviate Rondo's defensive problems after a major injury, and Cousins often didn't know who to defend against.
Relatively speaking, Noah worked harder and paid more, and he might be the better answer.
But since the media gave it to Wei Xia, there is naturally a reason for the media.
Wei Xia will never worry about this. Compared to last year's scoring performance, which was both the top scorer and DPOY, which was only completed by Jordan, this year he is more at ease.
In addition to DPOY, he also continued his record of being selected for the Double First Team.
At the same time, his teammate DeMarcus Cousins was also selected for the best team with a strong attitude.
There is one more evidence about Wei Xia's teammates being better than James.
LeBron James has never had a teammate!
As for why Wade was a regular player in the best team before joining the group, Bosh was the top power forward in the East, and only James was the only one after joining the group. Wade deteriorated year by year, and Bosh was disgraced because he repeatedly faced pure centers and won a single game with a reputation, but few people mentioned it.
Game3
The 76ers headed to Toronto under the leadership of two best-ranked candidates.
The scenery of the North allowed them to let go. Cousins played the best data since the start of the playoffs, with 40 points, 19 rebounds and 6 assists in the game.
Wei Xia won a triple-double in two consecutive games.
Cousins is the offense, so he pays more attention to the comprehensive data, with 22 points, 11 rebounds and 15 assists in a single game. If this continues, he will be the king of assists per game in this round of the series.
A 3-0 situation fell in front of Toronto people.
They looked at what was happening in front of them, as if they had accepted their fate, and the fans left the court silently.
The strength gap is too big, and fighting spirit, desire and the support of fans are irrelevant.
Coach Casey is still looking forward to winning a game: "We will fight for the dignity of the North next!"
Leaving them the opportunity to defend their dignity is only one game left, and the Sixers do not want to ruin their playoff winning streak in Toronto.
Game 4, Wei Xia continued to play his triple-double. Cousins felt bad, but the Raptors were very unlucky and Hayward opened fire.
Tonight, Hayward won the only 30 in eight playoff games.
Outside the three-point line, Hayward made 6 of 7 shots, 34 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists in the game, and was selected as the best in the game.
Wei Xia got an economical triple-double of 151112.
Three triple-double in four games, and the average data in the semi-finals just reached a triple-double, surpassing Rondo by average assists, becoming the assist king in this round of the series.
On the night of sending the Raptors out of the playoffs, Wei Xia attended the press conference and mentioned her performance slightly: "My triple-double is not intentional, I believe that anyone who has watched the game will think so."
"Ahem!"
Cousins beside him sprayed a table of water.
The reporters at the scene laughed, everything was silent.
Wei Xia is different from a superstar who is vindictive. Even if everyone knows that he is proving it to others, he will not admit it. He verbally said that this idea is very naive and that this kind of guess is unreasonable, but actual actions cannot deceive people, so he cares very much.
The defeat of the Raptors made the 76ers the earliest team to advance to the division finals in the semi-finals.
Two 4-0, they showed dominance in the regular season.
At this point, there is only waiting.
They have to wait for the Miami people to come to the stage last year, and they have to be in that position, and they personally take down the Miami people from the throne, so that they can be considered revenge.
The situation in the east is as staggered as in the west.
The Spurs and Warriors in the West fought hard, and the Thunder and the Grizzlies were also anxious battles.
In the east, there is a fierce battle between the Heat and the Pacers.
All the Sixers have to do is wait safely at home and wait for the Heat to send the Pacers away. Pacers' rising star Paul George was not as stunning as last year in this round of the series. Instead, their young player Lance Stevenson, who took medicine, provoked the league's first player in various ways.
The most classic scene is Stevenson blowing into James' ear.
That lens was shot by the camera.
James, who had been ruling the league for two years, did not expect anyone to dare to pull his beards out of his mouth. Of course, he had to punish the big commandments, but Miami's aging is clearly visible, so it is not that easy to deal with Pacers.
Before the results of this semi-finals appeared, another result that had troubled fans for a long time was released.
Wei Xia was elected the regular season MVP for the 2013-2014 season.
This is an inevitable result. Since the 76ers won 71 wins, no one can compete with Wei Xia. Kevin Duran, who is fighting hard with the Grizzlies, is not happy. He ran with him again and fell to second place again. This year, he can't even lose, and Wei Xia's vote rate exceeds 95%.
After 2012, Wei Xia won the MVP again.
His second MVP.
In his MVP's award speech, the first sentence he said was: "Thank you to the great Creator, thanks to its will, I can have today. I am proud of this. Everyone, from today on, I have as many MVP trophy as Kobe."
Because of this sentence, Kobe bombed him for a week with text messages.
The text message content is probably because he feels that he still has a chance to get another MVP in the future, so that Wei Xia should not be too happy too early.
Kobe bombed Wei Xia hundreds of text messages.
Wei Xia only replied one, the content is as follows:
"Dear Kobe, I know your feelings, I know your plans. Although you are disabled and strong, you still have my role models. I respect you from the bottom of my heart. Please accept my tribute. At the same time, please allow me to express my shallow personal opinion. I personally think that if you have one MVP trophy, you should be satisfied. Holding two is a blessing from God. Insatiable will only arouse jealousy of ghosts and monsters. Therefore, I advise you to cultivate yourself in the future, and never be eager for quick success or instant benefits, or to burn yourself. Finally, because your enthusiasm is too hot, I often make me insomnia. I made up my mind to temporarily put your mobile phone number on the blacklist and be lifted in a week. Please forgive me - Wish who loves you forever."
Blacklisting? This trick is simply despising Kobe's IQ.
Chapter completed!
