Dayao's playoff journey once again ended in the Western Conference semifinals.
There are many reasons why the Mavericks failed.
The first reason is that the Mavericks' lineup is not a simple reinforcement.
It is basically equivalent to team reconstruction, and the tacit understanding and cooperation are not perfect enough.
The second is that the Thunder are really strong, especially the Thunder team is very young.
The Thunder and the Mavericks also fought fiercely for 7 games. In the previous games, the Mavericks still had the advantage.
But as the game dragged on, the Mavericks' physical strength became less and less advantageous, just like the Celtics in the East.
The follow-up was weak, and the Thunder finally completed the comeback.
However, this is the first season that the Mavericks have formed a super lineup, and they still have a chance.
Next season, the Mavericks will be terrifying if their lineup is even better.
In another round of the Western Conference semifinals, the Spurs finally eliminated the Clippers.
The semifinals were very unfriendly to the Clippers, especially their G1 back-to-back games.
The key is back-to-back away games.
In the first two games, they were beaten badly by the Spurs.
It can be said that Popovich has not used many tactics, and the Clippers have already lost.
Back in Los Angeles, G3 still lost to the Spurs.
Fortunately, in G4, Paul and Anthony broke out, and they finally regained a victory at home.
However, this is still a drop in the bucket for the overall situation.
It can also be said that in G4, Popovich did not want to compete head-on with the Clippers.
By G5, Popovich, the old fox, no longer hides his clumsiness.
Under Leonard's defense, Anthony's shooting percentage was miserable.
Not only that, Chris Paul was also targeted.
But the Spurs played the ultimate team offense.
Especially Frenchman Boris Diaw, after being waived by the Charlotte Bobcats.
Diaw ushered in the second spring of his career with the Spurs.
It can be said that this French magician seems to have added lubricant to the Spurs.
Whether it's high-post support, organizing passes, or post-ups, he can do it.
Especially the addition of Diaw made the Spurs' transfer ball smoother.
As Popovich said, "Dior is our universal French sauce."
Lian Dao also watched the two-round series in the Western Conference.
The strength of the Thunder was expected by Lian Dao, but the speed of the Spurs' rise shocked Lian Dao.
This team always seems to have the magic of the Ivy League.
…
With the conclusion of the East and West semifinals, the East and West regional finals have also been officially announced.
However, before arriving, as usual, the league will announce the best defensive team and best team list in advance.
These are also the last two events for the NBA regular season awards this season.
Lian Dao really hopes that he can be selected. If that happens, Lian Dao will be equivalent to winning all the heavyweight personal honors this year...
On May 27, sure enough, the league’s official website updated the news.
Lian Dao saw his name on the All-Defensive first team.
This was what Lian Dao had expected. It would be really strange if he could not be selected to the first team of the All-Defensive Team after receiving dpoY.
Well, don't mention it, there really is such a player.
For example, Uncle Mu in 1995, although he won the dpoY, he was only selected for the second team. The first team center was Admiral Robinson.
There is also Ervin Robertson, who was also elected as the best defensive player in the 1985-86 season.
However, in the selection of the best defensive team that year, Robertson was only selected to the second team.
In fact, it would be most embarrassing to win dpoY but not be selected for the All-Defensive Team.
After all, the best defensive player is voted by the media. The best defensive team is voted by the head coaches of the major teams in the league.
Compared with the media, coaches’ votes have higher authority.
If dpoY is not selected for the All-Defensive First Team, it means that dpoY this year is somewhat watered down.
[To be honest, I have been using the Huanyuan app recently to read and catch up on updates. It can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds, huanyuanapp. Both Android and Apple are available.]
Therefore, this is why it is often said that data does not represent a player's true defensive ability.
However, Lian Dao's defensive strength is beyond doubt.
It can be said that Lian Dao has always been one of the most troublesome players for the head coaches of these teams on both offense and defense.
If you don't vote for Lian Dao, you can't explain the losses you suffered at Lian Dao's hands.
In addition to Lian Dao, the players on the All-Defensive Team include Chris Paul, Kobe Bryant, Serge Yinbaka, and Dwight Howard.
Because of Lian Dao's presence, James was squeezed into the second team of the All-Defensive Team this year.
And because Tony Allen often played as a substitute, he was not selected to the All-Defensive First Team as historically.
However, he eventually relied on his superb defensive strength and was selected as the best defensive player second team as a substitute.
The players on the second team are: Rajon Rondo, Tony Allen, LeBron James, Kevin Garnett, Tyson Chandler.
At this time, Lian Dao had already won important honors in the league, including the best defensive player, the regular season MVP and the All-Defensive First Team.
As long as Lian Dao can be selected for the first team of the All-NBA Team.
Then he can become the first player in the 21st century to win both dpoY mVp and double first team in a single season!
When the league announced its best defensive lineup, Lian Dao's name appeared again in the eyes of fans around the world.
Fans all over the world are now discussing Lian Dao's dominance.
After all, among the current NBA players, only Howard, James, Kobe and Tim Duncan have been selected to the double first team for three consecutive years.
Double first team means that a player has been recognized by the league on both offense and defense. This is a very valuable honor.
All along, only the league's top superstars have the opportunity to receive such an honor.
It is already amazing to receive such an honor once, let alone three consecutive years.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! And if Lian Dao is selected for the All-NBA First Team tomorrow, it will mean that it will not be as simple as double-teaming for three consecutive years.
In history, there is only one player who can win the mVp dpoY double team scoring title in a single season...
That is a historical superstar: Michael Jordan.
In other words, if Lian Dao is selected for the All-NBA First Team tomorrow, he will become as famous as a great superstar like Michael Jordan.
No, he may surpass Chicago Braised Eggs in honors, because Lian Dao also won the assists title this season!
mVp dpoY double team, scoring leader and assist leader!
This great achievement has not been achieved even by Michael Jordan, who is known as the "God of Basketball".
When major media reported it, it immediately caused a sensation among fans around the world.
This is no ordinary honor.
If Lian Dao really does it, this will be an important step for Lian Dao from an active superstar to a historical superstar.
The sensation caused by Lian Dao is getting more and more intense. This is no longer a matter for American fans to discuss, but the eyes of fans all over the world are focused on the NbA.
What caused the biggest stir that night was the domestic fans.
They know very well what this honor represents.
It can be said that this will have a huge impact on the future of Chinese basketball.
Many domestic fans even choose to stay up late and constantly refresh the news section in order to wait for the best news.
Some fans even went directly to the NbA official website to get first-hand news.
Especially with the London Olympics approaching, if Lian Dao can achieve this achievement, it means that the Chinese men's basketball team is likely to go one step further.
In the 2008 Olympic Games, the Chinese men's basketball team achieved top eight results.
In the 2010 World Championships, under the leadership of Lian Dao, we achieved a historic breakthrough and finished second!
What about the 2012 Olympics?
Will it be the semi-finals, or a bronze medal, a silver medal, or even...a gold medal!!
Lian Dao is like China's business card to the world. He can achieve great achievements and make the country and people proud.
A Chinese becomes a historical superstar in basketball? It feels great just thinking about it!
While domestic fans are excited for Lian Dao, Lian Dao remains extremely calm.
He should eat and sleep, as if this honor had nothing to do with him.
Of course, this is not because he is not excited about this honor, but because he has long known that he can be selected for this honor.
…
On the day of the highly anticipated Eastern Conference Finals between the Knicks and the Heat, the Heat's management announced that Bosh would play against the Knicks!
This was beyond Lian Dao's expectation.
Historically, Chris Bosh only really returned to the game in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
Unexpectedly, Bosh's injury this time was actually lighter than in history.
Lian Dao didn't feel any pity. He won because his opponent was injured. Even if he won, the gold content of the championship would not be high.
