Braised Eggplant with Minced Pork
Chapter 662 Highest MVPの声 (Second Update!)
"You know, I heard Holt had a relapse of heart disease after the game and had to be rushed to the hospital!"
"If your heart is bad, why do you have to go to away games? Isn't that asking for trouble?"
"Although it's not good to say other things in the face of life and death, I can't help but say, well done!"
"I just feel bad for Popovich and GDP. I heard Duncan might retire after this season."
"He already has six championships in his career, that's enough. Players get old and retire. Losing to Tang's team, he shouldn't have any regrets!"
"By the way, there's news that Duncan also told Tang that the future is yours!"
"Damn, really?"
"Really, the ESPN reporter was standing nearby at the time!"
"Damn, damn, damn, confirmed interference with management, confirmed control of the coaching staff, and now Duncan confirms the future. Is Tang really going to be the next LeBron?"
"No, no, I think that's different. Duncan is retiring soon, this is an expectation for Tang, don't overreact!"
"None of that matters anymore, what matters is that the Pelicans are one step further than last year, they've already made it to the Western Conference Finals!"
"That's right, whether the Pelicans win the championship or not, this performance, this season has already been worth it!"
"Warriors and Pelicans, the two biggest dark horses left this season, a peak showdown, I can't wait!"
…
The focus of the fans' discussion after the game was the just-concluded Spurs-Pelicans Game 7, but some fans also mentioned the MVP.
The final results of the MVP selection will be out in a week, and Tang is getting a lot of support right now.
The MVP is selected based on the regular season.
The Pelicans' regular season record was second in the West, better than both the Cavaliers and the Rockets, and Tang's personal stats also far exceeded Curry's.
Plus his hot form in the playoffs, the high call is a normal phenomenon.
Things haven't been good for the Pelicans off the court since entering the playoffs, and this is finally an opportunity to vent their anger.
The Western Conference Finals between the Pelicans and Warriors won't start until two days later, and the Pelicans organized a public daily training session the next day.
After the training, Tang was naturally surrounded by reporters.
In these questions, many reporters asked questions related to the MVP.
Tang is only 22 years and 11 months old, if he can eventually get the MVP, he will be the second youngest MVP after Rose.
"If I can get the MVP, it will be very exciting for me and the Pelicans, as well as the city of New Orleans and all the fans who support me, but even if I don't get it, I won't be bothered by it. Stephen, LeBron and James are also very good."
Tang's goal is naturally the MVP, but it's a bit different from last season's scoring title race.
At that time, it was to motivate the team, they needed this kind of personal honor to encourage them because they were not strong enough, it was a timely help.
But this season they are strong enough, the goal is naturally to win the championship, even if they get the MVP, it is just the icing on the cake.
So his attitude at this time is a typical "I'm lucky to get it, but it's my fate if I don't."
This attitude was exposed by the media and received a lot of support from fans.
NBA stars fight to the death for the MVP every season, players刷 (shua) all kinds of data, and teams use all kinds of means.
Tang is really a breath of fresh air.
Just as Tang's interview was being hotly debated, another MVP favorite, James, also ushered in the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals.
It wasn't the first time he had played in the Eastern Conference Finals, but it was the first time he had played in the Big Three in the Cavaliers, and the pressure was incomparable to what it used to be.
After the game started, the two teams fell into a bitter battle.
The Bulls are the Grizzlies of the East, you have to shed a layer of skin or even break a bone to win it.
The Cavaliers broke their bones in the first game, and broke James' "left and right arms."
When the game reached the third quarter, Love had an arm entanglement with Noah under the basket, and Noah's甩手 (shuai shou) action eventually caused Love's arm to dislocate.
After Love was injured, the Cavaliers' game became more and more difficult. In the last quarter, James went berserk to harvest the game, which allowed the Cavaliers to finally kill the Bulls.
The Cavaliers won their first home game, but the whole team was not happy.
Because Love's post-match report showed that his shoulder was not only dislocated, but also accompanied by a rotator cuff tear and bone contusion.
This means he will directly miss the rest of the season!
The Cavaliers' Big Three finally completed the run-in, but suffered such bad news in the Eastern Conference Finals, which is a huge blow to Cavaliers fans.
Many fans denounced Noah on social media, and the league subsequently announced a decision to fine Noah and suspend him for one game.
But these are actually meaningless, Love can't play in the games behind, which directly reduces the Cavaliers' competitiveness by one level.
This news is heartbreaking and唏嘘 (xi xu), but it also makes people look forward to the Western Conference Finals that have not yet started.
After all, with the Cavaliers' competitiveness, whoever can kill from the West, then the championship ring is basically guaranteed.
The question is who can break through.
The day before the Western Conference Finals began, the Pelicans flew to Oakland.
Oakland is adjacent to the Golden State, but does not belong to the San Francisco Bay Area.
Before 1971, the Warriors' home court was located in the adjacent San Francisco, which was one of the most prosperous areas in the United States.
But after that, because the team's strength declined and the attendance rate was not good, the team was forced to move to the adjacent Oakland.
After that, the Warriors have been sinking and failed to reproduce their glory, and naturally there is no chance to return to the Bay Area.
But this season's strength has made the Warriors' management eager to try.
The NBA is very realistic, the better the team wants to develop, in addition to the boss being rich enough, there must also be a dazzling record.
Take the Clippers as an example, before Paul went there, it was a third-rate team, and it had no sense of existence as a Los Angeles team.
But after Paul went, the team quickly became a championship favorite, and then was acquired by Microsoft giant Ballmer, a piece of flourishing.
If it were not in Los Angeles, Ballmer would have moved the team long ago.
The Warriors are now facing such an unparalleled opportunity.
This season, the team's record has risen strongly, and the offensive style of play has once again attracted the love of the people in the Bay Area.
As long as they can eventually win, the management will have enough reason to move the team back to the Bay Area, the place that is as full of "gold" as its name.
So the Warriors, from top to bottom, have a stronger belief in winning the championship than the Pelicans.
This is destined to be a series of 火星撞地球 (huo xing zhuang di qiu – a collision of Mars and Earth).
