Chapter 680 Regular Season MVP
The Clippers and the Rockets are relatively close in strength, and the current battle is 2:2. It seems that a tie-break is very likely.Although Warcraft is not as good as it was in the Magic period, the lean camel is bigger than the horse, and it still has an advantage in beating Jordan.Duanfen's performance in the playoffs was not as good as in the regular season, and his ability to fight tough battles was questioned.
CP3 is still the same Sao Paulo. Beverly clamored to play him to death, but he got sent off for 4 fouls in 2 out of 6 games...
The Grizzlies respond to all changes with the same, no matter who the opponent in the next round of the series is, they are not afraid.If you need to worry about opponents in the conference semifinals, can you still have the confidence to defend the title?
On May 5, the Clippers narrowly defeated the Rockets in an away game, and finally eliminated their opponents with a total score of 2:4 and advanced to the semifinals.
In this way, the situation of the matchups in the Western Conference semifinals came out, with the Grizzlies VS Clippers on one side and the Thunder VS Spurs on the other.
The Clippers and Grizzlies met in 2011-12, when the Grizzlies beat their opponent 4-1.The two teams have become the top teams in the West in the following seasons, but they have never been able to meet in the playoffs.
The Clippers' regular season record is still very good. If it weren't for the fierce competition in the West, they wouldn't be ranked fourth.In this season's playoffs, they made a late move, and finally passed 4 games and gave the Rockets a round trip.
In the playoffs, Harden, the core of the Rockets, began to sleepwalk. His sharingan defense and touch skills were not as easy to use as in the regular season, and he was targeted enough.On the contrary, Warcraft has regained part of its strength in its peak period, and it has the upper hand when facing Jordan and Duanfen.But in the final analysis, he is not a player who can take on the team's main offense. His dominance is on the defensive end, not the offensive end.
In this round of the series, the Clippers are also not favored.It's not that the two teams haven't met before. Short Fen and Jordan Jr. may be able to show off their power in one game when they meet the black and white bears, but it's a bit whimsical to suppress the opponent in a round of series.When Xie Kai hadn't fully grown, they were easily defeated by their opponents. Now facing the Grizzlies led by the MVP hotshot, it can only be said that there is more than luck.
So the situation of the Clippers is not much better than that of the Mavericks, at best, the probability of sweeping is slightly lower.
G1 of the series between the two sides will be played at the home court of the Grizzlies, and the side with the better record in the regular season will have home court advantage.In several meetings during the regular season, the two teams each won or lost.But everyone knows that there are too many winners and losers in the regular season (the Mavericks have something to say)...
On the evening of May 5, the first game of the Grizzlies VS Clippers series will be held at the FedEx Arena.
Sweeping old rival Mavericks in the first round sent Grizzlies fans walking sideways on the Internet.Of course, they dare not walk sideways in reality, because cars have no eyes...
This round encountered the Clippers, their previous defeat, and they didn't have the slightest pressure.In the west, to be precise, except for the Thunder and the Spurs, it seems that no one can bring any pressure to the healthy Grizzlies, really none.
The series is about to start, and the number of K honeys in Memphis is more than when they played the Mavericks in the first round.The deeper the playoffs, the more exciting the game will be, and the higher the attention will be.
The mayor of Memphis naturally grinned from ear to ear. A large number of fans flooded into the city, and the consumption brought to the city should not be underestimated.
In the early morning of the 6th, the NBA officially announced a blockbuster news!
The regular season MVP of this season! ! !
Xie Kai from China won the 2013-14 NBA regular season MVP!
For a while, the NBA official website was paralyzed... It can be seen the enthusiasm of the fans, Xie Kai's popularity!

Many people who know Xie Kai sent congratulatory messages, some out of politeness, some of formality, and of course some from the heart.
On the 6th, the current NBA president Adam Silver flew to Memphis to present an award to Xie Kai!
The Grizzlies also held an awards ceremony for Xie!
At the scene, Xie Kai received the coveted MVP trophy from President Xiao Hua amid the cheers of everyone!
At this moment, Xie Kai knew that he was already the MVP, and he would no longer be ridiculed by Barkley and his like for relying on black and white bears to obtain the previous honor.This award is a reflection of one's own value and a proof of one's own strength.
Xie Kai was wearing a blue suit and black tie today, looking very energetic.He didn't prepare a manuscript, and he felt that there was no need to prepare for the acceptance speech, which seemed to be scripted, not realistic enough, and not in line with his personality.
Under the constant spotlight, Xie Kai began his personal acceptance speech: "Girls and gentlemen, and everyone who came to my press conference, good morning! I am really happy, because this award belongs to me First time (laughs). First of all, I would like to thank the Memphis Grizzlies, everyone in Memphis who supported me. Without my coaches, my teammates, without the support of K Honey, without the help of the staff, there would be no me Today! This award is also due to you (applause)!

I also want to thank my wife, we fell in love in college, she has always supported me to enter the NBA, when I have nothing, she is with me Growing up, now I get the honor, and half of your honor is in my honor! I am a yellow man, in high school, in the NCAA, whenever I play badly, there will always be people who laugh at me, they Will tell me 'you should serve dishes, you should study mathematics, the last thing you should do is play basketball!' Thanks to those who are not optimistic about me, thanks to those who have ridiculed me, without you, maybe there would be no My state of mind right now! Finally, I would like to say to everyone in my home team, the Memphis Grizzlies: 'I'm ready for tonight's game, let's move forward together!'”
