Vol 2 Chapter 328: Yao Ming who doesn't want MVP (three / four!)


Two days later, no surprise, the Magic beat the Bucks 96-67, eliminated their opponent 4-2, and advanced to the Eastern Conference semifinals.
The Cavaliers and Magic met for the second consecutive year in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
After the first round, many people have a new understanding of the strength of the Cavaliers, and basically hold an attitude of five to five in this series.
The Magic's interior strength is far better than the Cavaliers, but the Cavaliers have completed a major upgrade this year.
Compared with the strength of this round of the series, what is more attractive is some factors outside the field.
The highlights are even more interesting than the first round.
The Cavaliers were eliminated by the Magic 2 to 4 last year, and it's been a year of revenge for James and Cleveland fans.
Howard was swept 4-0 by the Rockets coached by Tang Tian last year, and then met the team coached by Tang Tian, ​​the big boy also wanted to get revenge.
For Magic coach Stan Van Gundy, he was judged to be useless after the finals last year. To Tang Tian, ​​he also needs to prove himself.
Because the regular season record was lower than the opponents, the day before the series began, Tang Tian and the Cavaliers also boarded a plane to Orlando.
"Shaq, they all say you are old." On the plane, Rashid Wallace and O'Neal chatted.
"You old guy, I'm only 37 years old. Jabal's guy is still playing at 42." O'Neal said with a smile.
"Dwight doesn't know what to think, he might give you some color to look at!" Wallace said with a laugh.
"Huh! Little hair boy!" O'Neal laughed.
The two old footballers chattered and talked unbridled, and the atmosphere of the team looked very good.
"Dwight has improved a lot this season. Kwame can play a role as a surprise player in the regular season. It is hard to say in the playoffs." Casey also turned to Tang Tian at this time.
"Look at the performance of our big man." Tang Tian said with a glance at O'Neal. "No matter what, don't double."
Casey nodded. Tang Tian played the Finals with the Magic last year. He has the most knowledge in how to play.
After getting off the plane, the team went directly to the hotel bus.
Just then, Tang Tian's cell phone rang.
He picked it up and took a look. It was a short message, sent by oj.
"Yao Ming was elected as the regular season MVP for the 2009-2010 season."
The message is short and the content is large.
The Rockets ranked first in the regular season record. Yao Ming averaged 38.9 minutes per game and scored 29.2 points, 12.6 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 2.6 blocks.
This should be the year that MVP has no suspense after Tang Tian entered the NBA.
Three consecutive MVP, Yao Ming is the fourth person after Russell, Chamberlain, Bird.
After arriving at the hotel and arranging the players' rooms, Tang Tian called Yao Ming.
"I would rather not have this MVP trophy."
What surprised him was that Yao Ming's mood was much lower than the previous two years.
After chatting for a while, I learned that he was doing leg acupuncture at the moment.
The last time the two met, Yao Ming went back to Xibodu to raise this question. After the All-Star Game, he did have a lot of playing time, but in the playoffs, the first round averaged nearly 40 minutes. His own life.
"Protect yourself."
Tang Tian can only say such things.
Because of him, Yao Ming's career has changed, but he won't be allowed to go back one day.
"Coach, I really hope you are still on the Rockets."
Yao Ming was also helpless in the end.
"I'm still waiting for you in the finals." Tang Tian avoided this topic and said with a smile.
The Rockets this season, without Artest, although more Salmons, but to pass the Lakers level is not easy.
The two chatted for a while, and when they hung up the phone, Tang Tian temporarily set aside Yao Ming's affairs and let Casey take the team to the training hall for training.
The two teams' regular season record was 2-2.
Like Casey said, during the first game of the regular season, Big Ben limited Howard to a certain extent, followed by Kwame Brown, but in the last two games, Howard's low-post offensive technology improved significantly, and this limitation was relatively limited Already.
This round will be more difficult than the first round.
Orlando and Cleveland are both small cities, but with one difference, there is the world ’s largest Disneyland and the largest marine world in the United States, with more than 26 million tourists each year.
Therefore, in addition to the locals, there are a lot of tourists to watch the ball.
In the Eastern Conference semifinals, some fans and tourists will not miss this occasion.
Because of this, Tang Tian saw many Chinese fans at the scene.
Orlando doesn't have Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, or even Sun Yue. These people must be coming for him.
Sure enough, when the Cavaliers entered the field, they waved and shouted at Tang Tian.
Tang Tian also reached out to respond to them.
Away away, these Chinese fans are also considered Cavaliers fans.
After the opening ceremony, the two teams appeared one after another.
The Cavaliers are still the regular lineup, with O'Neal Galashid Wallace inside, Beverly Matthews outside, and small forward James.
The same goes for the Magic, with Howard Plus Lewis inside, Nelson Gapitrus outside, and small forward Carter.
But unlike in the past, the Cavaliers' jumper was not Wallace, but O'Neal.
There was a restless scene.
O'Neal became the old O'Neal after leaving the Heat, and has not skipped the ball for many years.
Does this mean that Wallace can't win Howard and just give up?
Although the game has four quarters, the jump ball does not affect the number of offensive rounds of both sides, but in the NBA game, the winning side means that the opening will be significantly higher in momentum than the opponent.
The scene was cut to Tang Tian.
Tang Tian's expression was relatively flat.
In fact, this was not his arrangement, but O'Neill himself asked.
The referee lifted the ball and the fans on the scene waited for cheers.
The referee whistled and the ball was thrown.
But just before the whistle ~ EbookFREE.me ~ O'Neal had taken the lead and took the racket back to the Cavaliers halftime.
There was a stumble at the scene, and the referee followed by a whistle to signal O'Neal's violation of the ball.
O'Neal didn't seem to care, smiling and talking to the referee.
The referee ignored it and continued to throw the ball a second time.
O'Neal is still taking the lead, and Howard is standing still this time.
There was a hiss at the scene, but the referee did not whistle to signal the start of the game.
Tang Tian laughed directly when he saw it.
Hey, this old ball!
After all, NBA games are commercial games, and it is impossible to waste too much time in the jump ball.
And even if O'Neal keeps jumping like this, the referee can't help it. After all, the jump ball violation result is nothing more than a re-jump. The NBA doesn't have this regulation, and he can't really punish O'Neal ...
