Chapter 774 The Grand Story Inspired by MVP
Two days later, the same venue, the same opponent, the Pistons lost to the 76ers.
This game met all the conditions for the Pistons to lose.
High-intensity confrontation reduces their hit rate and makes them unable to play high-quality offense——√.
The star broke out and continued throughout the game, without giving the Pistons any chance—√.
Make full use of the home court advantage, causing the Pistons to kill multiple times——√.
The 76ers' win is very formal. This is the classic routine for all teams in the league to win against the Pistons. In the past few years, they have lost many games that meet the above conditions.
"It's a textbook game," said Cheeks, an on-site commentator at the Wells Fargo Center. "You can see some of the tricks of beating the Pistons. Not every team can use it like the 76ers did tonight."
In the first two games of the series, the Pistons won one and lost one.
This has accomplished their original goal, they knocked out the 76ers' home court advantage, and returned to Auburn Hills with a big score. What could be more enjoyable than that?
In the West, the Lakers who lost Game 1 were as conscious as the 76ers, but their victory was overwhelming.
O'Neal alone knocked many of the king's insiders off the court, and Kobe Bryant's unstoppable 40 points in a single game. McGrady responded with 35 points, but unfortunately, he should have stood up in the stalemate. Peja, who had a single-point blast, was completely restricted by Rick Fox to only score 10 points, showing the world for the first time that he must shrink in the big scene.
"You can't imagine how good Rick's defense was tonight!"
Before the start of the game, the outside world agreed that Peja's presence would make the Lakers' perimeter defense lose sight of one another.
The strength of the Kings lies in Dirk Nowitzki on the inside, Tracy McGrady and Peja on the outside, all players who can average 20 or even 25 points per game. If the three points are fired at the same time, the Lakers will definitely be overwhelmed.
Unexpectedly, Peja has entered an inexplicable downturn since the Western Conference Finals.
Including the first game won by the Kings, it was also achieved by Divac's high position support, Nowitzki's accurate outside three-pointer and McGrady's amazing 28 points and 13 assists. Going to the pit, but not worthy of the outside world's expectations of him, scoring 45 points on 13% shooting.
Tonight's game is a continuation of the first game, and critics pointed out: "If the Croatian continues to play like this, the Lakers will soon shift the focus of defense to T-mac and the German. At that time, their scoring will be more troubled. , and what caused all this is the inexplicable downturn of the Croats."
The smoke in the east and west is getting stronger, and neither of these two rounds of the series looks like it will go as smoothly as the first round and the semifinals.
The young king is ready to go, and the 76ers with two super giants inside and outside have not found the most suitable way to play until now-maybe they will never find it-but they only have [-]% to [-]% combat power after working together Under the circumstances, he still showed the strength to shake the piston.
At this time, another message appeared.
This year's MVP winner.
The MVP discussion has been going on for months, and seven people have entered the discussion.
Mo Mengchen is the most vocal in public opinion. His fan base, media support, and team record are all good, but his personal data is a little bit worse.
Compared with last season, this season, his scoring has dropped a lot, averaging only 17 points per game, but he still has 8 rebounds and a staggering 13 assists.
He is the leader in assists and the leader in rebounds among all guards. Although his average of 17 points per game is not much, considering his nearly 60% shooting rate, this is a frightening statistic under closer inspection.
However, in the past two years, Mo Mengchen has set super high standards. His statistics can stand the test, but his impact is not great, and the Pistons' record is the third in the Eastern Conference. Therefore, despite the loud voice, Lei The sound is small.
The second is O'Neal. Up to now, some people think that last season's MVP should be given to him, and this season should be given to him as compensation.
However, O'Neal performed poorly for a period of time during the season. Even Kobe in the team could not be suppressed. Coupled with those speechless performances in the game against the arch-enemy Pistons, his voice has been declining.
The second is Kobe. Apart from being young, there is nothing to blame. He played an MVP-level regular season.
Iverson and Duncan of the 76ers have been viewed with colored glasses because of the existence of each other, and the voices of these two people are the smallest.
Hill, skip it.
In the end, this season's MVP crown fell to Penny Hardaway.
His team leadership record is not the best, and his personal data is not the best, but he is the only player who leads a team with a single core among all MVP contenders.
Hardaway averaged 28 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists per game this season, shooting 48% from the field, leading the team to third in the league and second in the Eastern Conference.
He may not be the best MVP pick, but he's the least controversial.
Hardaway won the MVP matter, the attitudes of all parties are completely different.
New York media: The king of New York is crowned today, and we have a bright future!
The Detroit media offers a hypocritical well-wish: Congratulations to Pence.
Before the media in Los Angeles complained to OK, O'Neal himself jumped out: "I don't know what an MVP is, but I know that MVP will not suffer a hard fight in the first round, let alone be swept by opponents in the semifinals."
Just as the world was shocked by O'Neal, and when the media in New York and Los Angeles were about to start a war of words about who was the MVP, Iverson also joined the battle.
His words were not as harsh as O'Neal's, but the dissatisfaction was almost written on his face: "Pence is great, he won the MVP, but I won't congratulate him, I don't want to say more, I just don't congratulate him!"
Originally, it was all media quarreling, and the players complained occasionally and it was over. O'Neal and Iverson went off the court successively to fight each other, and the media would naturally focus on the other party.
Mo Mengchen, who had the loudest voice, was surrounded by reporters.
In order to let himself have a few days to live in peace, Mo Mengchen had to give a reply.
He heard the complaints from Iverson and O'Neal, but he only had blessings for this matter: "Pence deserves his name, and I have no complaints. I wish him a speedy recovery and we will fight again next season."
Mo Mengchen seldom complimented his opponents. In this case, to recognize Penny's MVP is to admit that the opponent is better than himself. The media did not expect him to say that.
Mo Mengchen's words greatly increased the favor of New Yorkers, and also made them temporarily forget the wounds that Dor.Mo had left on them.
The New York media quoted Dor.Mo's words with great fanfare, writing: "This is the actual ruler of the alliance for the past two years. His mind and vision surpass everyone."
An exasperated O'Neal continued to blast the media: "Now Dor.Mo's words can be used as the bible? Don't you guys know that he is the most hypocritical guy in the league?"
Obviously, O'Neal spent too much energy on the rumors of the outside world. The battlefield of the Western Conference Finals was transferred to Sacramento. The two teams fought again. The Angry Sharks should have played a glorious battle to prove themselves, but he failed. .
In order to limit his performance, the Kings frantically sent 18 fouls on him. O'Neal made 30 of 9 free throws from the free throw line.
O'Neal was impatient because he missed a free throw and clashed with Kobe, who wanted to take over the game.
For the Kings, McGrady scored a triple-double of 30+10+10, Nowitzki scored the second highest 25 points in the team, and Bibby's explosion was the most surprising. His speed simply solved Fisher. Rhythm scored 18 points against the Lakers.
This was a speechless fiasco. No one expected that the mighty Lakers would suffer such a defeat in an away game.
They lost by 32 points.
When Phil Jackson faced the media, he said sadly: "We are not a championship team. Which championship team will lose to the opponent by 32 points in the playoffs?"
O'Neal, who performed poorly, was mocked all over the world.
The ridicule of the New York media is the most vicious and famous: "Whether Dor. Mo is the most hypocritical person in the league remains to be verified, but Shaq is undoubtedly the most bragging guy in the history of the NBA."
Combined with this game, and the cause and effect of this ridicule, O'Neal successfully made himself the protagonist of the classic story of "pretending to be loud but being rough" in NBA history.
The same end to participate in the tearing, Iverson only said that sentence, and then he proved himself in the third game against the Pistons.
"Maybe this is the strongest form of the 76ers."
"The AI in its prime and the TD who is fully committed to coordinating offense and dominating defense."
In this battle, Iverson scored 50 points and 4 assists, and Duncan scored 22 points and 20 rebounds. They were the only two players in the 76ers who scored in double figures. The team defended with all their strength, and they defeated the Pistons in Auburn Hills.
Making Mo Mengchen's 40+ triple-double an empty cut also made the direction of the Eastern Conference finals more confusing.
Iverson, who scored 50 points, did not forget to make up for O'Neal in the West: "I just want to prove that I am not bragging, I just think I am the better one!"
His performance was impeccable, scoring 50 points in a single game in Auburn Hills, and it was still in the playoffs, except for Penny.
It's just that when he came to this point, he backhanded O'Neill with a knife, but the shark was caught off guard.
The media once again launched a round of ridicule against O'Neill.
The two rounds of the series are 2 to 1, and the direction of the story is still unknown, but the stories that happened in these three games have surpassed many series.
The successive losses made O'Neal shut his mouth obediently. Both the Lakers and the Pistons need to reorganize.
