Chapter 520 Old Rival

The Oakland Stadium hangs up a huge poster that is ready.

Holding two MVP trophies, Qin Fei smiled and appeared in front of the fans who came to "worship".

Lianzhuang MVP!

In history, there have been three players who have achieved the achievement of three consecutive MVPs.

They are Bill Russell, Chamberlain and Larry Bird.

As strong as Jordan, he has never achieved three consecutive MVPs, only two consecutive villages in the 90-92 season.

So Qin Fei's MVP of the two consecutive villages is already the first person after Jordan, comparable to many great gods.

Calculated, Qin Fei is the eighth player in history to win the regular season MVP for two consecutive years. The first seven are Jordan, Magician, Bird, Moses Malone, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Chamberlain and Bill Russell.

Qin Fei wears the No. 8 jersey and is the eighth player to achieve this achievement, which seems to show some hidden meaning.

Even if you can show your personal performance perfectly for two consecutive years under very difficult circumstances, and lead the team to achieve a very good record, it does not mean that you will be able to achieve consecutive MVPs.

The MVP is voted by the judges. The judges' preferences are very important. Sometimes aesthetic fatigue will affect the judges' preferences and affect the final voting results.

The simplest example is the 97 example.

That year, Jordan averaged 29.6 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.71 steals per game, shooting 48.6% from the field, 37.4% from three-pointers, and 83.3% from free throws. He led the Bulls to a record of 69 wins and 13 losses, ranking first in the league.

而马龙场均贡献27.4分9.9个篮板4.5助攻1.38次抢断，投篮命中率为55%，带领爵士队取得64胜18负的战绩，排在联盟第二。

Jordan's data is comparable to that of Malone, and even has a slight advantage. The team's record is 5 games ahead of Malone, but in the final selection, it lost to Malone.

Someone later revealed that the main reason Jordan lost this MVP was aesthetic fatigue. Before that, he had already won 4 MVPs.

There are external objective reasons for Qin Fei's two consecutive MVPs, which just shows that there is no aesthetic fatigue for the time being.

He's the face of the league's superstar right now.

He is a signature figure with a high reputation all over the world.

Double happiness!

Fans in the Bay Area celebrated the team's easy victory over the first round, and were also excited for Qin Fei's two consecutive MVPs.

In their eyes, the warriors of the past two years are the best warriors in history, the warriors who cut through the waves, and the warriors who bravely climbed the peak!
Warriors are preparing for battle.

A few days later, the results of the first round match between the East and the West were all released.

The four teams that advance to the Eastern Conference are the Nets, 76ers, Raptors and Bulls.

The four teams that advanced to the Western Conference are the Warriors, Kings, Lakers and Mavericks.

Throughout the first round of the game, there was only one team that was below the gram, the Bucks and the Raptors.

The Raptors took the lead and won the next game at the Bucks' home court, taking the lead in the series. In the end, they won the Bucks 3-2. They unexpectedly eliminated the Bucks, who were regarded as the first team, and reached the Eastern Conference semifinals.

This is surprising, because in everyone's impression, the Bucks are very strong.

Although the Raptors are fierce, there is still a gap between them and the first-class teams.

As a result, in this round of the series, the Three Musketeers actually lost to the Raptors Carter.

The Bucks became the only upset team in the first round.

During the offseason last year, the Bucks renewed Uncle Mu's big contract. He was ambitious and planned to do a big job this year, but it turned out to be the first round.

Ray Allen also lost to Carter in the playoffs.

This made Ray Allen, who has always been mild-mannered, a bit unwilling. In the post-match interview, he expressed some frustration.

"We lost some competitiveness, we didn't win the games we should have won, it's a pity and it's disappointing."

"In the coming time, we need to think carefully about how to maintain our competitiveness."

Ray Allen is not in a high mood. The 27-year-old star has entered the golden stage of his career. He will definitely not be content with a record in the first round of the playoffs.

So the outside world speculates that the Bucks will have some troublesome things next.

For example, what should you do when you are faced with three gun procedures?

With the contract of these three people plus Uncle Mu's contract, even a wealthy team would not dare to make such a price, which would inevitably lead to some trade-offs.

The Raptors beat the Bucks to advance to the second round.

Then it became a drama of Iverson vs. Vince Carter, which is very exciting.

The direct dialogue between the two Superman balloon stars made this round of the series directly the second round of the most watched series in the entire league.

The Warriors met the Mavericks again.

In the second round of last year's playoffs, he also played against the Mavericks.

In the second round of this year's playoffs, they played against the Mavericks again.

Compared with last year, the Mavericks have a more mature lineup, and at the same time, through a mid-season trade, they got Nick Van Exel.

In order to strengthen the wing defense, they also signed free agent Adrian Griffin.

Griffin serves as a shooting guard, but he is not good at scoring. On the contrary, his main task on the court is to defend the opponent's scorer. He is considered an engineer-type player.

The Mavericks' record has also improved compared to last season.

Although it is still only ranked fourth and fifth in the West, its strength should not be underestimated.

Therefore, before the start of the game between the two teams, many organizations predicted that this round of the game would not be as one-sided as the last round of the Warriors vs. Sonics.

In fact, the game between the Sonics and the Warriors is not really one-sided.

It's just that from the record point of view, the supersonic sweep of 0 to 3 times gives people a feeling of no resistance.

In fact, it's still a bit of a resistance.

Before the game, Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said that the Mavericks are completely different from last year.

"Yes, we are fully prepared. This season we will beat the Warriors and win the championship. There is no doubt about it."

Cuban showed a boundless love for basketball.

There are few owners like him who show up at the Mavericks' home court every game, cheering for the team like an ordinary fan.

There are very few bosses who accept media interviews like him and speak big words.

Many players do not cooperate with the boss.

But there is one player who fits him well.

For example, the Mavericks' new aid Nick Van Exel.

Nor is it the first time Nick van Exel has said something outrageous in the media.

This time is no exception. He said that the true strength of the Warriors is not very strong.

"Their record is very good, but in many cases, the record does not mean anything. The probability of winning the championship with the league's first record is not absolute. For example, the Warriors have shown the temperament of a pseudo-strong team many times this season. We are fully capable of defeating them."

Nick van Exel played well in the first round.

In the series with the Timberwolves, he averaged 22.8 points and 8.5 assists per game, which is a sharp knife for the Mavericks.

So in the second round, his confidence also rose, he said some words to anesthetize himself, and began to face the Warriors bravely like above.

The Warriors ignored him.

In the end, Arenas, who had been suffocating for a long time, was dispatched.

Arenas deliberately showed a very surprised expression during the media interview.

"what?"

"Did I hear it wrong?"

"The Mavericks were also defeated by us last year. This year, our team has introduced a player with outstanding strength like me. The strength is even stronger. What do you think the Mavericks will use to fight us?"

Although he meant to put gold on his face, the effect was surprisingly good when he said this.

The fans of the two teams immediately started a war of words.

With the development of the Internet, the war of words before competitive games has become more and more popular.

I wanted to spray it before, but I couldn't find a suitable channel.

Now it's all right, there are channels to play freely, and those who want to spray can't hold back, they all come out, each showing their skills.

March 5th, late.

The second round of the NBA started.

The Warriors-Mavericks game started on time.

Players from both sides play in turn.

The starting players were released and printed on the TV screen.

Warriors starting: Billups, Qin Fei, Artest, Jermaine O'Neill, Big Ben.

Mavericks starters: Steve Nash, Finley, Edon Donnajera, Nowitzki, River LaFrentz.

Qin Fei walked to the field and hugged Nash, Nowitzki and others one by one.

In the middle circle, Big Ben and LaFrentz stand together.

LaFrentz is also a new addition to the Mavericks. He was sent to the Mavericks in the Nick Van Exel trade.

The 26-year-old LaFrentz is 2 meters tall and weighs 11 kilograms. He is a standard No. 109 figure. In the 98 draft, he was selected with the third overall pick in the first round.

The biggest feature of LaFrentz is that he is good at defense and is known for his excellent blocking ability. His low-post offensive ability is relatively poor, but he has a certain range, even beyond the three-point line.

The two took off and scrambled for the ball, the Warriors' ball.

Billups passed the ball directly to Qin Fei.

Qin Fei held the ball outside the three-point line, and the Mavericks first used Finley to match Qin Fei.

This belongs to the king vs. king at the beginning.

Finley is also an old acquaintance of Qin Fei.

The two have fought against each other many times, and Finley has watched Qin Fei grow step by step to the point where he still looks up to now.

The two began to face off from outside the three-point line, Finley opened his arms to defend, and the defensive posture was very positive.

"flank!"

Finley looked left and right and found that the double-team that should have come in the Mavericks' wing area was not in place.

Qin Fei dribbled the ball under his crotch continuously, his body paused, and he suddenly began to speed up his breakthrough.

His current breakthrough speed with the ball is also top in the league, and Finley tightened his nerves to defend him.

"Bang~"

The two of them made physical contact, and Qin Fei's powerful impact resisted and opened up the space.

The Mavericks' double-team came as expected, Qin Fei flicked his wrist lightly, and the basketball shot was distributed to Artest on the other side.

Artest broke through to the baseline along the way, tearing open the Mavericks' defense.

It's very simple to break through and pass the ball to Billups near the free throw line.

Billups opened his hand and made a two-pointer. The basketball bounced out of the hoop and failed to score.

Big Ben and LaFrentz grabbed it together, and after the rebound bounced for the second time, it was protected by Nowitzki.

The Warriors' first wave of offense was unsuccessful.

The Warriors retreated quickly.

The Warriors are very mobile, and the five players on the field are all athletes who can run and jump.

The Mavericks are a new jump shooting team in the league. In terms of athletic ability, they are not as good as the Warriors.The players looked up, and in the blink of an eye, the opponent had already completed the retreat.

The Warriors' defensive strategy is a very simple one-on-one defense.

Since the Mavericks have not yet entered the hinterland, it has always been such a defensive system.

Such a defensive system can maximize the Warriors' athletic advantages.

Nash dribbles skillfully and directs in the frontcourt.

The Mavericks run the floor as usual, creating space for the two scorers.

Nowitzki and LaFrentz crossed positions, Nowitzki circled the bottom line, and then went to the three-point line to play a pick-and-roll with Nash.

Nash and Nowitzki, the shooting ability of these two people is the ceiling level in their respective positions. As a defensive side, the Warriors need to pay attention not to give either of them sufficient shooting space.

Jermaine O'Neal and Nowitzki had faced each other before, and he knew how far the German's shooting range was, so after the pick-and-roll, he didn't go down and followed Nowitzki.

Nash looked at the six-way road, and Dirk Nowitzki, who was still under strict defense, did not pass.

Dribbling the ball by himself, he swayed into the Warriors' penalty area.

In fact, wobbling is just everyone's inherent impression. Nash's dribbling speed is much faster than the outside world imagines.

Big Ben didn't make a save, so Nash jumped on one foot, drifted and threw the ball.

"Horseback archery!"

Billups was only a little short of defending Nash.

The basketball hit the backboard and entered the frame, rolling up a white net flower.

"Shh!"

The Mavericks took the lead and hit the first goal of the sports game.

The sound of cheering in the Oakland Stadium became quieter. The fans did not expect the opponent's players to be so powerful. This elegant attacking style gave them the feeling of strolling in the courtyard.

Offensive and defensive transition, the Warriors attack.

Qin Fei didn't hold the ball, and played an off-ball attack. The ball was passed to Xiao Ao, but he still didn't score.

In defense, O'Neal interfered with Nowitzki's shooting, and both sides hit an iron once.

In the third attack, the ball was passed to Qin Fei.

Qin Fei wasn't going to pass the ball anymore, he missed two attacks, and he was going to stand up and score at this time.

The Warriors players also knew that Qin Fei was going to play singles, so they all opened up space and set aside half court for them to play one-on-one.

Qin Fei held the ball with his back, and Finley put his arms behind his back.

"boom!"

Qin Fei leaned back, and the majestic force pushed Finley back a small step.

The Mavericks chose to double-team, but Qin Fei turned his back ahead of time, very lightly wiped past Finley, who was defending him with all his strength, and broke through to the bottom line.

The speed of this breakthrough and turn was too fast, and Finley was out of position in an instant.

He didn't even have time to foul, and he got a handful, but nothing.

Qin Fei dribbled the ball along the baseline and hit the Mavericks' penalty area.

He was so fast, he was like a white bolt of lightning in the No. [-] jersey.

Neither Nowitzki nor LaFrentz, who were guarding the basket, noticed Qin Fei rushing in.

The exclamation of the outside world sounded.

When they turned their heads, Qin Fei had already taken off into the air.

He raised his hands high, grabbing the basketball in a pop-out style, and there was an obvious movement in the air. After pulling the ball slightly, he smashed the ball into the frame!

"Bang!"

A bang!
Qin Fei grabbed the basket with both hands, and his body swung out in a circle with inertia.

After 2 minutes of the opening, the Warriors finally played the offense they liked.

The fans in the arena immediately cheered and high-fived each other.
