Chapter 383 MVP Four Consecutive Championships

An hour later, at a track and field training ground in Jamaica, Bolt and his team held a meeting.

"According to the news, Wolverine's acceleration phase only took 35 meters, while Usain now needs 45 meters."

"Wolverine's stride is longer than Usain's. Shortening the acceleration phase requires more explosive power in addition to technique."

"So that means Wolverine's lower limb explosive power is stronger than Usain's?"

“No, I think it’s the technique.”

"No, on the contrary, I think Usain's skills are better than Wolverine's. After all, Wolverine has only been practicing sprinting for less than a year."

"I think so too. From the videos of these three tests, we can see that Wolverine's sprinting skills are average and have not reached world-class standards."

"I think Usain's current technical setting is the most suitable for him, but he is three years younger than Wolverine, and his explosive power has not yet reached its best stage. He can continue to strengthen his lower limb explosive power and shorten the acceleration phase."

"I think so too. Usain is only 21 years old. His explosive power has not yet reached its best age. He will run faster in the future."

In Yanjing, the General Administration of Sports, from Director Liu to the Track and Field Center, everyone fell into a frenzy after learning the news that He Zhongqiu broke the 10-second barrier.

"Director Luo, has the center been notified during the Mid-Autumn Festival? Has the news been confirmed?"

Director Liu put down everything he was doing and called Luo Chaoyi immediately.

Luo Chaoyi said: "Director Liu, I asked Lao Feng to confirm that it is indeed under 10 seconds, with the best result being 9.9 seconds."

"Okay, okay, we need to communicate well with him. I've read media reports that he will be filming a movie after his NBA career, so he won't have much time to compete. Don't delay participating, and your results must be recognized by the IAAF."

"Director Liu, the current arrangement is..."

"Director Luo, it's hard to explain over the phone. Why don't you come over and we can have a meeting to discuss this matter."

"Okay, Director Liu, I'll be right there."

Luo Chaoyi immediately rushed to Director Liu's office, where several deputy directors and several persons in charge of the 08 Olympic Games, including the former Director Yuan, were already sitting. Everyone seemed a little excited.

"Director Luo, please tell us about the specific arrangements," said Director Liu.

"Ok."

Luo Chaoyi immediately began to report on his work, saying, "We will take a break after the finals during the Mid-Autumn Festival. July and August are the time for filming movies..."

Director Yuan and others felt helpless. It was October, which was a four-month offseason, and filming the movie took up two months.

This is only for He Zhongqiu. If it were any other athlete, no matter how big a star they were, the General Administration would never agree.

Luo Chaoyi took out a piece of paper and continued, "On June 6th, there is the IAAF Grand Prix in Eugene, the United States. On the 10th, there is the Golden League Oslo in Norway. There are three more Asian Athletics Grand Prix, which are in Bangkok and New Delhi, as well as Pune, India. There is also the Czech Athletics Grand Prix at the end of the month.

I plan to contact Zhongqiu to see if he can participate in a few competitions, or not all of them, just two will be fine."

"You just finished the finals, so your physical condition doesn't allow it, right?" Director Yuan asked.

Luo Chaoyi nodded and said, "Director Yuan, the center hasn't discussed it with him yet. He's in the playoffs. I plan to go to the United States and discuss it with him in person."

"Okay." Director Yuan nodded.

"What other competitions are there?" Director Liu asked again.

Luo Chaoyi looked at the paper in his hand and said, "Director Liu, there are a lot of competitions in July, including more than 20 international track and field competitions, but there are also eight events in September. My idea is to sign him up for the September competition."

"Okay." Director Liu nodded.

Luo Chaoyi said: "There are four Golden League events in September, including the Shanghai event on September 9."

Director Liu immediately said, "Then focus on these four races. Don't plan anything for June. He also needs some rest time. As long as he can run an A-standard result recognized by the IAAF and qualify for the 08 Olympics, that will be fine."

Director Yuan added: "I think we can sign him up for the Eugene Grand Prix on June 6th, or the Norway Grand Prix on June 10th. If he finishes the finals by then, it will be good for him to get used to the competition environment and atmosphere first."

"I think it's okay." Director Liu nodded.

Next, the Pistons eliminated the Nets 4-2, and the Cavaliers eliminated the Raptors 4-2.

In the West, the Lakers eliminated the Nuggets 4-2, and the Spurs eliminated the Suns 4-2. This is normal.

Yao Ming performed very well in the first round of the series, averaging 28 points and 10.3 rebounds per game, with a shooting percentage of 56.5% and a three-point shooting percentage of 36.5%.

Kobe averaged 32.8 points per game, shooting 48% from the field and 35.7% from three-point range.

But on the night of May 5, the Mavericks, the top team in the league, created a big upset and were eliminated in the first round by the Warriors, the eighth-placed team in the Western Conference, with a score of 2 to .

After the Mavericks were eliminated in the first round, the media went crazy and criticized Nowitzki, saying that he was a wimp who couldn't stand up at critical moments and was the most incompetent team leader.

Nowitzki had no way to defend himself. In the first round of the series, he averaged 19.7 points and 11.3 rebounds, with a shooting percentage of only 38.3% and a three-point shooting percentage of only 21.1%. This performance can only be criticized.

Mavericks owner Mark Cuban was also criticized because he fired Nelson and withheld some of his money. Now Nelson has led the Warriors to complete the black eight feat against the Mavericks, which is the most gorgeous and powerful counterattack.

On May 5, the first round was just over, the Jazz and the Rockets reached a tiebreaker, and the Jazz won in the end.

The league then announced the second-round matchups: in the Eastern Conference, the Knicks vs. Cavaliers, the Pistons vs. Bulls; in the Western Conference, the Spurs vs. Warriors, the Lakers vs. Jazz, with the former teams having home-court advantage.

The two groups in the second round in the East start on the 6th, and the two groups in the West start on the 7th.

At 6 a.m. on the 9th, the league announced the winner of the regular season MVP.

Before the regular season, some media believed that this honor should be given to Nowitzki. After all, the Mavericks were the first in the regular season, and He Zhongqiu had won the championship for three consecutive years.

But after the first round of the series, the Mavericks suffered a dark eight tragedy, and the voices that the MVP should be given to Nowitzki suddenly disappeared.

"This season's NBA regular season's most valuable player, the super center from the New York Knicks, Wolverine, wishes you a happy Mid-Autumn Festival!"

As the host announced, He Zhongqiu won the regular season MVP for the fourth consecutive year.

He once again made NBA history, becoming the first person to win the regular season MVP for four consecutive years.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, Madison Square Garden was already full, with big-name stars and supermodels everywhere. At 8 o'clock, both sides announced their starting lineups.

Cavaliers: Big Z, Drew Gooden, LeBron James, Pavlovic, Larry Hughes

Knicks: He Zhongqiu, Alonso, Shane Battier, Josh Howard, Steve Nash
In the ESPN TV studio, Bill Walton said, "Currently, the media and some professional basketball commentators are predicting this series to favor the Knicks. Hubie, what do you think?"

胡比布朗说道：“勒布朗詹姆斯首轮28分8篮板7.5助攻1.8抢断0.8封盖，非常全能而且优秀的表现。

他的身边还有首轮19分11篮板表现的大Z，有首轮19分6.8篮板2.8助攻1.3抢断的拉里休斯，有14.5分10篮板2.78助攻的德鲁古登。

So the Cavaliers' lineup is actually pretty good, and I'm quite optimistic about them."

"Do you think they can eliminate the Knicks?" Bill Walton was so surprised that his eyes almost popped out.

"of course not."

Hubie Brown quickly added: "I just think they can perform better against the Knicks."

Bill Walton nodded and said, "But in fact, the Knicks' lineup is not complete. They are missing David Lee and Crawford. The rotation lineup is not enough. There are only 10 important rotation players left."

When he said this, he laughed and said, "Actually, a 10-man rotation lineup is already pretty good. Many teams only have 9 players in their rotation lineup."

Hubie Brown complained: "The Knicks' lineup is too deep, so even if two players are injured, there are still enough rotations."

Bill Walton smiled and said: "They are lucky that Nash and Josh Howard returned in time, otherwise it would be very difficult."

"Yes, otherwise how could they lose the first place in the league."

Hubie Brown nodded, but then added: "Speaking of this, I have to congratulate Wolverine for winning MVP four times in a row, the first person in history to win this honor."

Bill Walton nodded and said, "Before this, only Larry Bird won three consecutive championships. Even Michael Jordan, who is so great, only won two consecutive championships. Four consecutive championships is a very remarkable achievement."

Hubie Brown exclaimed: "This fully shows that Wolverine, as the best player in active service, has maintained a high level of peak condition for four seasons. He is only 24 years old. How many years can he maintain his peak condition, 3 years, or 5 years?"

Bill Walton said: "If he wins again this year, it will be the only four-peat dynasty in modern basketball.

Then he will completely dominate the NBA in the 00s, and even the OK combination's three consecutive championship dynasties will be reduced to a supporting role. "

At this time, the starting lineup, David Stern came to the scene in person to present the MVP trophy to He Zhongqiu.

"MVP! MVP! MVP..."

When He Zhongqiu took the trophy from David Stern and held it high, Madison Square Garden was filled with thunderous cheers.

The host handed the microphone to He Zhongqiu, who shouted loudly: "I know what you need. Nothing can stop us from defending our title."

He pointed to the five championship banners flying over Madison Square Garden and shouted: "Soon the sixth championship banner will fly above our sky."

"Oh ho!"

All the Knicks fans cheered instantly.

"Wolverine, you are the king of New York." Spike Lee roared excitedly.

"If he can do this, so can I. The future belongs to me."

Looking at He Zhongqiu, LeBron James showed envy and jealousy in his eyes, and the idea of ​​replacing him became stronger and stronger.

The game starts at half past eight.

He Zhongqiu and Big Z jump ball and the Knicks attack.

He first ran into the penalty area, was double-teamed as soon as he entered, and then immediately pulled out and came to the high position to set a screen for Nash.

Drew Gooden followed out and Big Z sat under the basket.

Nash broke through the wall, and after breaking away from He Zhongqiu, he pulled to the left wing, shook off Drew Gooden, and then received the pass from Nash, and immediately cut in with the ball one step outside the left waist position.

Facing the soaring Wolverine, the height was despairing, and the impact force visible to the naked eye was even more terrifying. Big Z under the basket rationally gave up defense and dodged to the side.

"boom!"

"Oh ho!"

He Zhongqiu made a violent left-handed slam dunk, and Madison Square Garden burst into cheers.

Bill Walton said: "Because Mourning has lost his mid-range shooting ability, it gives the Cavaliers the opportunity to double-team Wolverine in the restricted area.

But the Wolverines didn't give the other team a chance to double-team him in advance, pulled out to do a pick-and-roll, then received the pass and cut in for a dunk. The tactics were very clear."

Hubie Brown said: "Even if he didn't cut in for a dunk, he could still score by hitting the rebound at a 45-degree angle on the left waist. Drew Gooden had no defensive position."

Bill Walton smiled and said, "When facing a weak opponent, Wolverine is happy to solve the problem with a dunk, which will increase our ratings."

The Cavaliers' ball reached the frontcourt, and Larry Hughes passed it to LeBron James outside the left three-point line, who organized the offense.

The Knicks still used a three-two zone defense, with Josh Howard on the left wing.

LeBron immediately began a crushing breakthrough, but he only took two steps and took a jump shot one step inside the three-point line.

"brush!"

A splash appeared and two points were made.

Bill Walton analyzed: "LeBron should be worried about Wolverine. Wolverine has just made up for him in the left elbow area. If he breaks in again, he will collide with Wolverine."

Hubie Brown said: "LeBron James is still very threatening with the ball, with his ability to shoot, pass, and dribble.

So the Wolverines should have some concerns and didn't dare to go all out to help defend. Otherwise, if James passed the ball to the basket, it would be very difficult for Mourning to defend two players at once. After all, he has no height, is old, and has serious injuries. "
