This season's Magic don't have the strength to hit the championship at all. Although they sent away Carter and ushered in the small forward of the hero organization in 2009: Hedo Turkoglu.

However, Hedo Turkoglu's strength is regressing to a degree visible to the naked eye, and Hedo Turkoglu's peak period has passed.

Moreover, Hedo Turkoglu was the hero of the Magic's 2009 finals, but the Magic were unwilling to offer him a big contract, but the Magic finally chose to give up on him.

It is absolutely impossible for Hedo Turkoglu to say that he is not angry in his heart. The cooperation between Hedo Turkoglu and Howard this season is not as smooth as before.

The first tactical starting point of the Magic before, the Turkoglu-Howard pick-and-roll, is rarely able to play this year. Of course, this is also related to Turkoglu’s regression and the Magic’s plastic surgery. The Magic is not like the outside line before. Shooters all over the place.

Brandon Bath's 0 points once again proved that Rashad Lewis is the most suitable space power forward for the Magic outside.

But in order to trade for Arenas, the Magic traded Rashad Lewis to the Wizards, and Arenas, who was devastated by injuries, actually basically ran out of gas in the tank.

Therefore, this is why Lian Dao believes with certainty that their opponent in the next round will be the Celtics, their old enemy in the playoffs last season.

Lian Dao is also looking forward to meeting the Celtics in the playoffs. Last year, the Knicks made it to Game 7 in the Eastern Conference Finals, but they fell short in the end. The Celtics won the Eastern Conference Championship and advanced to the Finals.

Lian Dao and other Knicks players who have been preparing for a year are also looking forward to revenge on the stage of the playoffs.

Although the Celtics have been plagued by disasters this season, and players in the fifth position have been injured, but before the start of the playoffs, Jermaine O'Neal has fully recovered, which means that the Celtics' internal rotation has basically returned to health .

If Shaquille O'Neal returns in the second round against the Celtics, it will be a severe test for the Knicks inside.

However, although this is challenging for the Knicks, it will be very fulfilling for the Knicks if they can defeat such a Celtics.

If you want to reach the top, it is far from enough to defeat opponents at the level of the 76ers.

Therefore, Lian Dao is just around the corner for the arrival of the second round of the series.



Just before the start of the game between the Knicks and the 76ers, the Bulls management held a press conference to officially announce that the team's head star Derrick Rose has become the winner of the "NBA Most Improved Player Award" this season.

When Lian Dao heard the news, his jaw dropped in shock.



The Most Improved Player award this season has historically been won by Kevin Love, not Derrick Rose.

But after thinking for a while, Lian Dao knew the reason.

Derrick Rose's data this season is amazing, averaging 25 points and 7.7 assists per game, and leading the team to the second record in the league. Of course, Kevin Love is also very good, averaging 20.2 points and 15.2 rebounds per game, and won the season's honor rebounding king.

But the record of the Timberwolves is too broken. In history, he can be selected as the NBA's Most Improved Player Award. It is because Derrick Rose has basically booked the "NBA Most Valuable Player Award" (MVP), so the The "NBA Most Improved Player Award" was given to Kevin Love.





However, the arrival of Lian Dao disrupted all of this. This season, whether it is the team record or player statistics, Lian Dao has directly crushed Derrick Rose, so this season's NBA Most Valuable Player Award has basically been reserved by Lian Dao up.

Therefore, the league awarded the NBA's Most Improved Player Award to Derrick Rose, which can be regarded as a kind of comfort to Derrick Rose.

Generally, players who have won the "NBA Most Improved Player Award" cannot get their hands on the "NBA Most Valuable Player Award".

Lian Dao was not surprised that Rose won the "NBA Most Improved Player Award", but that this award was ridiculed by fans as a "cursed" award.

Because many players who have won the "NBA Most Improved Player Award" have suffered from injuries.

Such as Danny Granger, Little Black Bean Brooks, Tracy McGrady, Arenas and later Paul George and so on.

They all have outstanding talents and are very strong in performance. Unfortunately, they suffered injuries shortly after winning the award, and some players even directly affected their entire careers.

And now that Derek Rose has also won this award, is this award really poisonous?

You must know that in history, Derrick Rose started to suffer from constant injuries in the 2011-2012 season. He played and stopped throughout the season, and the playoffs were the first game. 12-13 season reimbursement.

In fact, there are many "spells" like this kind of magical and slightly weird situations in the NBA.

For example, the 2K cover curse (the players on the cover will definitely change teams in the near future), the sports book cover curse (events will definitely develop in the opposite direction later) and so on.

Originally, Lian Dao didn't believe this, but through his rebirth, and Rose's winning of the "NBA Most Improved Player Award" this time, Lian Dao's heart was also agitated.

In addition to awarding the "NBA Most Improved Player Award", the league announced the league's "Best Sixth Man Award" as early as April 20, and the Lakers Lamar Odom won this award.

At the same time, the league also announced the rookie of the year, there is no doubt that the Clippers' power forward Blake Griffin.

In the 2010-11 season, he played 82 games for the Clippers, averaging 22.5 points + 12.1 rebounds + 3.8 assists in 38 minutes per game.

Blake Griffin's season statistics are indeed wonderful, but he won the "best rookie" and can't completely convince the public. As a repeater and a real 2010 rookie competing for the best rookie, the 2010 rookies have complaints to some extent.

The biggest complaint is John Wall. In the 2010-11 season, John Wall played 69 games for the Wizards, averaging 16.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 8.3 assists in 37.8 minutes per game.

If it weren't for Blake Griffin, then the best rookie of the season would definitely be John Wall's, so it's understandable that he complained the most.

But it's a done deal. Although John Wall is dissatisfied, he can only express it on social platforms such as Twitter.

With the development of the playoffs, the awards that have not yet been issued are the best team, best defensive player, best defensive team, best coach and the league's most important award "NBA Most Valuable Player Award" .

What Lian Dao misses the most is the "NBA Most Valuable Player Award". Although everyone thinks that the most important trophy belongs to him, as long as the league has no conclusion, he is not a real MVP.

Among all the honors of the NBA season, the MVP is undoubtedly the one with the highest gold content.

Before this season, the "youngest MVP" belonged to Wes Unseld. In the 1968-69 season, Unseld, who was only 23 years old, was directly elected as the MVP in his rookie season.

The one who broke this record in history was Derrick Rose, who was elected as the youngest MVP at the age of 22, but this time history will be rewritten.

Lian Dao was born in December 1990. Strictly speaking, he is less than 21 years old.

As long as the league hands the MVP trophy to him, he will become the youngest MVP player in NBA history.

This is not just a title, but represents greater hope for his basketball career, and it is even possible to break some long-standing records in the NBA.

Being young in the NBA means unlimited possibilities ~www.mtlnovel.com~ and plasticity, which is why all teams tend to be younger players in the draft rather than older ones.



Before the game, in the visiting team's locker room, the Knicks players were relaxed.

"Boss, you said this game, will the league announce the most valuable player?" Cousins ​​asked curiously as he leaned over to Lian Dao. Still happy.

However, Lian Dao knew that Cousins ​​had no heart, he was really just happy for himself.

"This game should be over, and it will be before the next game starts!" Lian Dao shook his head and said.

Generally, the "Most Valuable Player Award" will be announced before the start of the first game of the second round.

Lian Dao's implication is very clear, this is the last game of the first round of the Knicks, they are about to sweep the 76ers.
