Chapter 874 [Impression flow, milestone]
In the second game between the two sides, the Lakers' fast break was not as good as the Suns, and they were slightly inferior to the triangle offense, and they were 17 points behind in the first half.
In the third quarter, Xiao Si and Guo Xu cooperated with pick-and-roll, Guo Xu broke into the bottom line again and again to attract double teams, and passed the ball to Xiao Si in the middle to dunk or rely on the opponent to force the attack at close range.
Xiao Si is the best recovering player who has undergone minimally invasive knee surgery. He still has super explosive power. Even Bogut is not good at blocking his shot, and the speed of the shot is not fast enough.
The Suns led by 30 points into the final quarter, and both sides sent a substitute match. Jordan Jr. played as the center and played throughout the quarter, happily scoring 8 rebounds, scoring 4 points, 12 rebounds and 2 blocks in the whole game.
After the game, experts expected that the Lakers would be swept out by the Suns, which is rather cruel. The two teams are in the same division and played eight games in one season.
The next day, Guo Xu made the headlines, and the results of the selection of major regular season awards were released. Guo Xu won the most important personal honor for the player in the regular season MVP, which was the fifth time he was elected in his career.
He averaged 34.4 minutes per game, scored 23 points, 3.2 rebounds, 15 assists and 2.1 steals, shot 50.6% from the field, 44.4% from three-point shooting percentage, and 91.1% from free throws.
His shooting percentage once again entered the "180 Club", ranking first in efficiency value of 31.4, slightly better than James with 31.1.
He ranked tenth in scoring per game, first in assists, third in steals, averaged 3.6 three-point shooting averaged 3.6 in the league, third in the league in three-point shooting percentage, and first in the league in real shooting percentage of 65.6%.
Guo Xu's high-end data is always outstanding. There are only four outside players with real hit rate in the top ten, and the other three are Ray Allen, Nash, and Calderon.
LeBron James's data is also very beautiful, averaging 28.4 points, 7 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game, but his scoring efficiency is not as good as Guo Xu and his record is not as good as Guo Xu. The league cannot send him MVP.
If you give MVP to others this year, you will be angry if you have 6 billion yuan.
Is MVP still called the MVP award if it is not given to the best players? When the Suns set their best record in history in 2007, Guo Xu did not have five consecutive games. Fans said that the league gave one James, and they dared not give another second one.
Guo Xu led the first team of the best team, and the other four were Wade, James, Stadameer, and Dwight Howard.
Best second team: Paul, Roy, Pierce, Duncan, Yao Ming.
Best three teams: Billups, Joe Johnson, Bosh, Nowitzki, O'Neal.
How fierce is the competition for the best team of players this year? The Spurs, ranked third in the Western Conference, failed to be selected for Parker 20+7, and Kobe was ranked second in the scoring list, and the team's record is too poor.
The Grizzlies' two major inside players, the Hawks' Nash's data is not bad, and the record is also good, so they are not selected.
The Nuggets' Cameron Anthony made the playoffs, averaging 23.1 points, 6.8 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game, but failed to make it into the third team because the selection depends on the position, and there are too many forwards with good record.
O'Neal was selected for the best third team by picking up the bargain. In fact, Al Jefferson's data is more qualified to be selected, and the Timberwolves have a better record. Unfortunately, this is a world that looks at faces. When the judges think of Jefferson's image, they think he no longer exists, and the same is true when choosing the All-Star.
The Best Team was also controversial. Wade scored the best data in his career, but the Heat failed to make the playoffs. The reason why he was selected for the First Team was that his efficiency value was as high as 30.4, ranking third in the league.
The two defenders have stronger data in one round, and Paul, who has an efficiency value of 30, can only be selected for the second team.
Kobe's failure to even make the third team is also directly related to his low efficiency. With a very high ball possession rate, his efficiency is only eighth in the league, 24.4.
The best defensive player was awarded by Dwight Howard, and he deserved it. Not only did he have a good defensive data, he could also guard the penalty area.
The other four players on the best defensive team were Rajon Rondo, James, Artest and Garnett.
Defensive second team: Chris Paul, Wade, Prince, Valaijo, Duncan.
The defensive lineup has always been controversial, such as Spurs veteran Bruce Bowen was selected for the first time last season.
What is Bowen's level in last season? He averaged 30 minutes per game, scored 6 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.7 steals, and 0.3 blocks. His pace was slow and fast, but in the impression of the judges, he defended well, so he was selected.
Bathir, who was a famous 3D player in Guo Xu's previous life, received much lower evaluations on the defensive end because he was not famous enough on the defensive end and even played as a substitute in the Lakers.
As for the Celtics' substitute point guard, the real defensive man Tony Allen, no one knows him yet, who is that?
To put it bluntly, the defensive lineup is an impression. Paul and Wade, who did not make it to the playoffs, were selected for the second team of defensive teams, but no one was selected for the Suns, who had the best record, which aroused the dissatisfaction of many fans.
In fact, this is normal. The Suns lost a lot of points overall, and they killed their opponents by attacking. Moreover, their regular season record is so terrifying that they affect the competitiveness of the league. In order to balance, the president hopes to use the prize as an incentive for other players.
The best rookie is Bulls point guard Derek Ross. Although he did not make the playoffs, his statistics are very good, averaging 16.8 points, 4 rebounds, and 6.3 assists per game.
It is worth mentioning that Ross also won the nickname "Ro Buchuan" by Chinese fans this season because he rarely passes the ball to his power forward teammate Yi Jianlian.
No one in the Suns was selected for the Best Rookie Team, and the data was not pretty enough. 10 players in both lineups averaged double-digit points, and in 2008 it was worthy of being the first year of the draft.
Love averaged 11.8 points and 10.2 rebounds per game, and Eric Gordon was only selected for the second team with 16 points and 2.8 assists, which shows how strong the rookies are.
The sixth man in the best man was won by Jason Terry, who averaged 2.3 three-pointers per game, and his overall shooting percentage was lower than Ellis, and actually had higher scoring efficiency.
The fastest-progress player award was won by the Bucks' Ramon Sessions, averaging 14 points and 5.1 assists per game. He was one of the rookies after the second round last season. After the Bucks sent Mo Williams away, he became the team's starting point guard.
The Best Coach Award was won by Mike Brown of the Cavaliers, and under his coaching, the Cavaliers won the first record in the Eastern Conference. Guo Xu won the MVP, but D'Antoni had no chance to be elected as the Best Coach for the third time, and it was also for the sake of balance.
Guo Xu held a press conference and said that he was very happy and hoped to receive more honors in the future.
The regular season MVP and the finals MVP are both the highest honors that star players desire. Generally speaking, the regular season MVP winners have higher value because they are both strong team cores and have good results in leading the team. FMVP is generally a member of the championship team, but may not be the strongest player in the league, such as the FMVP obtained by Leonard and Iguodala.
Jordan won a total of 5 regular season MVP trophys in his career, namely in 1988, 1991, 1992, 1996, and 1998. Guo Xu was only 28 years old on November 24 this year, but his honor tied Jordan, who retired for the second time.
Only Jabbar is ranked ahead of Guo Xu. He has won 6 regular season MVPs, but the selection criteria in that era are different from now. Jabbar once won MCVPs even if he failed to enter the playoffs.
The third match between the Suns vs. Lakers was played in Staples Arena. The Suns only won 12 points in this game. The Lakers players have good defense and have problems with their own offense. Joe Johnson and Ellis both became blacksmiths. Odom scored 20 points, 11 rebounds, and 4 assists. It was useless to perform well.
The headlines of the day came from another series. The Rockets' results touched the hearts of Chinese fans because the inside core Yao Ming was injured and was reimbursed for the season.
