The invincible kryptonite of basketball

He still remembered Gordon's reminder that he didn't want to be as bald as Ginobili in the future!

Tang Tian smiled and shook his head.

He remembered that when Duncan touched himself before, he couldn't just hide from it if he wanted to.

The playoffs were in full swing, and at this moment, the league's first awards came out.

The first to be announced are the best head coach, best general manager and best defensive player.

Several candidates for the best head coach this year are very strong.

After losing Tang Tian, ​​​​Popovich still led the team to 60 wins. He really brought the basketball system to the extreme this season.

Monty Williams took the Pelicans from 27 wins to 52, the widest gap of 25 games in the league.

The Bulls' Thibodeau is also very competitive. After losing Rose, Thibodeau still leads the Bulls to rank third in the Eastern Conference.

The final votes were announced, and Popovich won the best head coach with a total score of 380 points, narrowly beating Williams with 339 points.

This is also the third time he has been elected as the best head coach in 4 years, which is unparalleled.

Williams' loss is a bit regrettable, but Popovich deserves the honor.

You must know that what he lost this season was the FMVP of the finals last season, and he also won the league's first record this season.

That's probably what he can do.

The improvement of the Pelicans' record has a greater relationship with the team's signings, and Williams' loss to Popovich is not unjust.

However, the fans of the Pelicans were not too disappointed, because in the options announced later, the Pelicans had a double-shot.

In the competition for the best general manager, Demps defeated Buford of the Spurs and successfully won the honor of the best general manager.

The improvement of the Pelicans' record this season is really due to Demps.

The addition of Tang Tian and Holiday, and even the late signings of Evans, Whiteside, and Cole, are all powerful boosts to the team.

Of course, only Dempsey knew about Tang Tian's role behind it.

This is by no means a bad thing for Tang Tian. Dempsey, who has won the honor, will only rely on Tang Tian even more.

After seeing these two messages, Tang Tian sent congratulations to Popovich and Dempsey one after another.

"Old man, if you want to drink, call me anytime during the offseason."

Even though Tang Tian and Popovich are no longer on the same team, they are still friends who have forgotten their age.

And shortly after he finished sending the text message, the league immediately announced the ownership of the best defensive player.

Tang Tian, ​​with 31% of the votes, defeated Noah, who got 25% of the votes, and won this honor for the second consecutive year.

He also became the first non-center player to win the honor back-to-back since Dennis Rodman (1989-90 and 1990-91).

And this is not counted, the greater significance is that he won the best defensive player while winning the scoring title.

This is awesome.

In the long history of the NBA, there is only one person who has won this honor at the same time in one season.

That's right, that person is the "God of Basketball" Michael Jordan.

During the 87-88 season, Jordan won the regular season MVP + All-Star Game MVP + scoring champion + steals champion + best defensive player...

And now, Tang Tian has won the All-Star Game MVP+Scoring Champion+Best Defensive Player.

His honor in a single season is the second person after Jordan.

ps: Today I returned to my home from my mother-in-law’s house, and I will stay at home for four or five days. The update time may not be so stable, but don’t worry, I will guarantee an update!I hope you will continue to support us!

Chapter 5 Thirty Tyronn Lue's Tactical Suggestions (Second!)

"My mother! The second person in history and the third year as a rookie, this is too... too awesome?!"

"What's even more amazing is that Tang still has the opportunity to compete for the MVP. He may only have one less steals title than Jordan in a single season!"

"Why do I think Don is already on the way to chase Jordan?"

"He is a lion, a growing lion. When he grows up, he will be the next spokesperson of the league!"

"Ahem, old buddy, it's not that exaggerated. The competitors in Jordan's era were very perverted. Tang's main competitor was Noah..."

"That's true, but this honor proves that Tang is really good enough!"

"At this time, we have to mention our Comrade Buford."

"Buford: ..."

……

After the Pelicans won the third game, the promotion situation is very good.

Correspondingly, the Clippers' promotion situation has become severe.

If they lose in the next game, then this round of the series will most likely have to be accounted for.

Rivers is under a lot of pressure.

As the champion coach, he was acquired by the Clippers management with a draft pick.

If he was hacked six in the first year, he would really lose face.

He was worrying, Lu came to his office.

Lu was best known as a player for defending Iverson and being stepped over by the opponent.

As a player, he was average, but as a coach he did a great job.

Born in 1977, he was actually only one year younger than Kobe.

After retiring from the Magic in 09, he served as an assistant to Rivers in the Celtics.

When Rivers arrived in the Clippers, he followed him and became Rivers' chief assistant.

At such a young age, if it weren't for his appearance, he could be called a young marshal of the league.

"Taylor, you're here."

Rivers saw Lu coming, smiled and motioned him to sit down.

Rivers' chicken soup league is famous, but in addition to chicken soup, all of his assistants are also excellent.

Like Thibodeau and Lawrence Frank, who have already played well, they were all assistant coaches of Rivers.

There are also Gent Li and Tyronn Lue who are now under the account, and they will also be NBA head coaches in the future.

"Any suggestions?"

When Lu sat down, Rivers asked directly.

Lu is a tactical genius, and some of his tactical ideas are very creative, which is also the main reason why Rivers trusts him.

"I think our focus on Don may be a bit too big. We need to focus more on Davis."

Lu said.

Rivers nodded thoughtfully after listening.

In these three games, Tang Tian scored 28 points in the first game, 33 points in the second game, and 23 points in the third game.

And Davis, 30 points in the first game, 13 points in the second game, and 30 points in the third game.

A very clear fact is that when Tang Tian scores high, the Clippers win, and when Davis scores high, the Pelicans win.

"Don is now like a weakened Kobe, or we can treat him as Iverson. In the playoffs, he scored high points and can't help the team win."

Lu went on to let Rivers know what his suggestion was.

Let Tang Tian score and limit other Pelicans players, which will give the Clippers an advantage at the tactical level.

Rivers nodded and looked at Lu with a smile, his eyes full of admiration.

My teaching assistants never disappoint.

With one day left until the series kicks off, the Pelicans and Clippers are preparing for battle.

The training atmosphere of the Pelicans is very good.

2 to 1, playing at home, these are all reasons, not to mention that the team has just harvested the best general manager and best defensive player.

This is a great affirmation of their performance this season.

After the training, Tang Tian and Davis rested on the sidelines, and they had to practice again later.

"They will definitely defend you in the next game. You have to be mentally prepared."

Tang Tian vaccinated Davis first.

His intuition as a coach told him that if Davis performed so well, he would definitely be targeted.

"Defend against me? That's a good thing, so your defensive pressure will be less."

Davis spoke.

Tang Tian smiled and patted Davis on the arm.

This guy actually has moments of inspiration.

Playing is like playing chess. The Clippers' total defense is fixed, and whoever they lean towards will definitely have less defensive pressure on others.

On this evening, the series of other groups continued.

The Heat have swept the Eagles 4-0, and the momentum this year is extremely strong.

The Lakers also lead the Warriors 3-1, and the promotion situation is very good.

What is somewhat surprising is the Spurs and the Rockets. Harden performed bravely and led the team to a 2-2 draw with the Spurs. No one in the Spurs can restrain him well.

The second brother performed well, and the eldest brother can't be left behind.

杜兰特在和灰熊的比赛中贡献3分绝杀，帮助球队在0比2落后的情况下扳成了2比2平。

It's not so easy for him to be eliminated in the first round, he must beat Tang Tian's Pelicans!

……

A day later, the game between the Clippers and the Pelicans continued at the New Orleans Arena.

The scene is still crowded with people, and the excitement on the faces of the fans is stronger than that of the previous game.

Because of winning this game, the Pelicans are about to win the match point of the series!

Tonight's commentary is from ESPN's Brin and Miller, but in addition to them, the commentary booth also has a special guest, Tracy McGrady.

McGrady joined ESPN shortly after retiring and became a guest commentator.

Special invitation means that he will not be permanent, but he will be invited to explain if necessary.

"T-Mac, do you think the Pelicans can take a chance and win tonight?"

The game hadn't started yet, the commentary booth warmed up the game first, and Breen immediately asked McGrady a question.

Brin has been a professional commentator for more than ten years, and digging holes is already a habit.

"Yes, they have a chance, a great chance."

McGrady's commentary experience is almost the same as that of Houston before, and he answered quite simply at the moment.

Brin smiled and looked at McGrady, waiting for McGrady's next words. This kind of commentary partner is his favorite.

Miller chuckled secretly, and he couldn't count how many guests were passed by Brin.

"I like Anthony Davis, he's as talented as me, and I like Don, he's just as handsome as me."

But McGrady's next words made Brin and Miller laugh.

McGrady's words are pretentious and irrefutable, and they are very explanatory!

Explaining this thing also depends on talent, O'Neill is the kind of talent bursting, it seems that McGrady also has great potential!

"So because you like them, you think they have a chance?"

Brin asked after laughing.
