On May 4, 2014, the last game of the first round match was played, and all the semi-final matches were announced.
The Pacers, the top team in the East, eliminated the Hawks in a tiebreaker and narrowly passed the test. Their opponent in the semifinals was the Wizards, who easily defeated the Bulls.
Facing the Bulls who were short of major generals, the Wizards advanced very easily, but this process is not necessarily a good thing for them.
At least the Pacers won't be as easy to beat as the Bulls.
Another matchup in the Eastern Conference is the second-place Heat versus the Nets.
The Heat eliminated the Hornets very easily, while the Nets, like the Pacers, eliminated the Raptors in a tiebreaker and narrowly escaped.
In fact, in the predictions at the beginning of the season, the Nets were the only team in the Eastern Conference that could compete with the Heat. No one expected that their final ranking would be so low, nor did they expect that the playoffs would be so difficult.
Of course, no matter what, the Nets passed the test and came to the Heat.
This showdown is what many people want to see because it has a lot of gimmicks.
The Heat are the Big Three, and although the Nets are older, they can also be called the Big Five!
Garnett, Pierce, Deron Williams, Joe Johnson, Lopez, these five are all All-Star players!
Although Lopez is out for the season due to injury, the Nets still cannot be underestimated.
After all, they still have good role players like Kirilenko and Livingston who can step up.
So this game still attracts much attention.
Of course, as soon as the playoffs started, the general manager of the Nets found Deng Fang and wanted him to treat Lopez, but Deng Fang refused.
The reason given by Deng Fang was that it was difficult to cure.
Treating people takes a lot of money, and there is nothing I can do now.
Of course, if the Nets can reach the finals, then I can also think of a way.
In fact, Deng Fang didn't want to do this. This was a requirement of the system.
As the Warriors' lineup gets closer to its historical counterpart, the system's requirements become more and more stringent.
Players who are not opponents of the Warriors cannot be treated for injuries!
Because this will affect the playoff matchup!
If possible, Deng Fang would definitely take action, whether it was because of his relationship with Lopez or simply to make money.
…
In the Western Conference, the Warriors eliminated the Clippers 4-0, ending the series early. After waiting for several days, they finally faced their opponent: the Trail Blazers.
The Trail Blazers ranked fifth in the Western Conference. They eliminated the fourth-place Rockets in six games and advanced to the Western Conference semifinals.
Deng Fang had known this result for a long time, so he was not surprised.
It was also because of this result that the Rockets were unable to let Deng Fang treat Yao Ming.
Everyone has said that you only treat opponent players. You are not even qualified to be an opponent, so how can you have the nerve to seek treatment from others?
Of course, after being eliminated, the Rockets are not so anxious to find Deng Fang - after all, they have time to wait!
After such a long offseason, Yao Ming can finally recover.
What they didn't expect was that within two days after the Rockets were eliminated, Yao Ming approached the management and said he wanted to retire.
"My injury was so serious that even Deng Fang couldn't cure it, so I had to retire."
"Don't you want to try again?"
"No, it's not necessary." Dayao said with absolute certainty.
Yao Ming insisted on retiring, and the Rockets management had no choice.
Of course, they don't care.
Because Yao Ming bought insurance, most of his salary will be paid by the insurance company when he retires.
He didn’t spend any money. Yao Ming was indeed injured, and it was serious, and Deng Fang didn’t treat him. What else could he do?
If you retire, just retire!
Anyway, we still have Howard.
When Yao Ming was with the Rockets, it was always a problem who to start. For a while, the Rockets even had a twin-tower lineup!
This also made Howard very dissatisfied.
Now that Yao Ming has retired, Howard is much more comfortable.
Of course, Yao Ming's retirement was also Deng Fang's operation. It was he who suggested to Yao Ming - "I think it's better for you to retire. If you continue to play, you will suffer from injuries. It's completely unnecessary."
For Yao Ming, Deng Fang’s words are almost an imperial edict!
Deng Fang would never lie to himself!
It was him who gave himself a second chance to play in the NBA, who led him to several championships, and who also signed two big contracts for himself!
Deng Fang would never lie to himself!
So as soon as Deng Fang suggested it, Yao Ming immediately followed it.
Dayao is not stupid, he is very smart. He knows that life is always bigger than basketball.
…
Another matchup in the Western Conference is the Spurs versus the Thunder.
Both teams performed well in the regular season, but unexpectedly, they encountered huge difficulties in the playoffs.
The Spurs and the Mavericks fought in seven games and finally passed the test in a thrilling manner. The same goes for the Thunder. They fought the Grizzlies in seven games and finally passed the test without losing any skin.
The matchup between these two teams is very interesting. One is rich in experience and has mostly veterans, while the other is full of energy and talent and has more young people.
Whether it is experience that defeats talent, or whether boxing defeats youth, we will be able to tell in this round of the series.
…
After the first round, various awards for the regular season were announced.
What attracts the most attention is the MVP trophy.
Curry has won four MVP trophies in a row, can he still win it this year?
Is it possible for James?
What about Durant?
Will the judges be dissatisfied with the old?
These are all questions.
In the end, to the surprise of many people, the MVP trophy still went to Curry!
Curry won the MVP trophy for the fifth consecutive year!
unprecedented!
so amazing!
After the results came out, all doubts disappeared.
Curry is the god of the NBA right now!
Although the judges like the new and hate the old, they are not blind!
Everyone sees who performs well. Even if the elderly are not favored, even if they are discriminated against, some basic laws must be followed, right?!
The Warriors' record is so good that no team can pose any threat to them!
What is the most important thing in selecting MVP?
Achievements!
Only when the results are similar will personal data be looked at!
Which one has the closest record to the Warriors?
Spurs!
Who has the best individual stats on the Spurs?
Parker.
How many points does Parker average?
16.7 points!
How many points does Curry have?
Averaged 29 points per game!
Still want to compete?
No……
Although the judges are all fond of the new and dislike the old, the results show that Curry's performance is undisputed!
The only core of the Warriors has the best record in the league, ranks second in scoring, and ranks first in efficiency. What more?!
In the end, Curry won his fifth MVP trophy as he wished!
This also allowed Curry to create history, winning five consecutive MVP awards!
You know, there are only three people in NBA history who have won the regular season MVP for three consecutive years. These three are also known as the "ancient behemoths" - Bill Russell, Chamberlain, and Larry Bird!
Curry is the only five-consecutive MVP!
This is truly unprecedented and unprecedented!
The only person who can break this record is Curry himself!
