Coach: Coaching the Grizzlies at the beginning, playing the bantam

Chapter 48 Advancing to the Regional Finals!Old enemies join forces in the Western Conference Finals!
In other awards, Suns guard Leandro Barbosa won the best sixth man without any suspense.

He did not encounter any resistance in the Sixth Man award, averaging 18 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal per game, which is better than most starters, and he is worthy of the nickname of "Brazilian Lightning".

The most improved player award was won by Warriors guard Monta Ellis, who averaged only 6.8 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game last season.

After being trained by the old Nelson in the new season, he has made great progress. The average data per game has increased to 16.5 points, 3.2 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.7 steals. He has become the core guard of the Warriors and is regarded by the management as the core of the new team.

There is no suspense about the best rookie. The first-year "Yellow Mamba" Roy has the best skills. He averaged 16.8 points, 4.4 rebounds, 4 assists and 1.2 steals per game. Can launch an impact on the Western Conference All-Stars.

Roy is recognized as a talented guard. He was the backbone of the University of Washington in his senior year. He led the team to a 26-7 record in the NCAA tournament and entered the top 16 for two consecutive years.

After graduation, Roy also became the best player in the Pacific Big Ten and was selected to the All-American team.Nominated for the Wood Award, Naismith Award, and Oscar Robinson Award.

Regrettably, Roy was very cautious when choosing him because of serious injury risks. He fell all the way to the 6th pick in the draft before being selected by the Timberwolves. After going around, he was traded to the Blazers to usher in an NBA career. .

This kind of rookie player with a stable style of play is very rare. If it weren't for injuries, Roy might have the opportunity to lead an era.

Nuggets center Marcus Camby became the best defensive player. It wasn't until the first round of the playoffs that he was named by "French Sports Car" and became a sieve. The outside world didn't recognize the true defensive level of this guy.

What surprised Lu Yong the most was that the Grizzlies had two players selected to the All-Defensive Team this year.

They are Pau Gasol and Swift, both of whom were selected to the All-Defensive Second Team.

It is not surprising that Gasol can be selected to the best defensive team with comprehensive statistics, but even a spring player like Swift can be selected. It can only be said that the record of the Grizzlies is too dazzling, and even the role players are also honored.

In fact, it is a pity that Ariza was not selected for the best defensive team. His defensive efficiency is definitely better than Swift.

But the NBA is a commercial league after all, and unknown pseudo-newcomers like Ariza suffer from a disadvantage in voting, and maybe next year they will have the opportunity to compete with this group of seniors.

The overall defensive efficiency of the Grizzlies can be ranked among the top five in the league. It would be shameful if no players were selected to the best defensive team.But after Swift was selected, Lu Yong felt that his whole body was not good. He could only say that the judges these days were unreliable, and the votes were all based on impressions.

Gasol was excited to be selected as the MVP of the regular season. The semi-final G3 was full of firepower, and the hard steel Duncan did not fall behind. Fratello, who was watching the game from the sidelines, was dumbfounded.

Is this still the Pau Gasol he knew?

It's easy and happy to beat Duncan one-on-one. Is this the halo bonus of MVP?
With Gasol's unexpected outburst, the Grizzlies beat the Spurs from the beginning of G3.

112 to 96, the series got the match point in three consecutive games.

加索尔出战36分钟，18投10中，罚球6中5，砍下25分11篮板4助攻2封盖，表现抢眼。

Mike Miller, who was selected to the All-NBA team for the first time in his career, was not far behind. He threw 6 three-pointers and scored 22 points, 3 rebounds and 2 steals. His efficiency was astonishing.

Spurs coach Popovich's face is getting worse and worse. He has nothing to do with the Grizzlies in this round of the series.

It seems that he didn't lose much, but he just couldn't get over the mountain of Grizzlies.

Popovich decided to change his strategy for the next game, reduce the height of the lineup, abandon part of the defense, reuse veterans such as Brent Barry and Michael Finley, and try to fight the Grizzlies offensively.

The Spurs' on-the-spot changes did have an effect. Brent Barry, who was put on the starting lineup in the G4 game, broke out. He played 34 minutes, made 15 of 10 shots, 5 of 2 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 24 points. With 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal, he avoided the fate of being swept out by the Grizzlies.

However, before the breathless Spurs fans were happy for too long, the team lost in Game 26, a [-]-point defeat.

明星控卫托尼-帕克表现拉胯，14投仅3中，三分球3中0，罚球3中3，得到9分2篮板4助攻，还有全场最多的6次失误。

The Grizzlies easily won 113 to 87 and advanced to the Western Conference Finals with a total score of 4 to 1.

In the final quarter, when the two teams sent substitute players to play, Rudy Gay, the No. 8 pick in the first round, performed eye-catchingly, scoring 8 points in three and a half minutes, which was a small surprise.

At the press conference after the game, when a reporter asked about the next round opponent, the Dallas Mavericks, Fratello finally got tough. "The Grizzlies are the best team this season. We are not afraid of any opponent. The one who feels nervous should be the Mavericks led by Nowitzki."

The Spurs' attendance at the press conference was not so pleasant, and even the bragging Popovich was much quieter.

It's just a symbolic exaggeration of the strength of the Grizzlies this season, saying that the Spurs will make a comeback next year and face their own shortcomings.

For Tim Duncan, this is another season of wasting his peak. The only good news is that his personal honor is still accumulating, and his historical status after retirement will certainly not be too low.

Lu Yong does not sympathize with the Spurs, especially Popovich, who trained and reused Bruce Bowen.

Sending this product home early is a good deed, and other teams in the province are always scared when they play against the Spurs.

The Grizzlies sent the Spurs home to fish in only 5 games. The strong strength of this season can be seen at a glance, ranking first in the latest championship rankings.

Another set of series matchups did not disappoint the media. The Mavericks eliminated the Suns 4-1 to advance to the Western Conference finals with the "old enemy" Grizzlies.

The Suns are such a strange team. Every year in the regular season, they compete for the first place. Under the leadership of the head coach D'Antoni, they are strong, but when they enter the playoffs, they perform badly, and they don't even make it to the finals. Pass.

Last year, the Suns ranked second in the West in the regular season, but they were eliminated by the Mavericks 4-2 in the playoffs.

The script of the Suns this year is still the same. They were fierce in the regular season, lost collectively when they encountered a strong team in the playoffs, and lost 4 to 1 to the Mavericks. They lasted one less game than last year.

Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki played superbly in the semi-finals. I don't know if he was stimulated by the MVP. He played against "The Bully" Stoudemire.

He averaged 29.7 points, 8.6 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1 steal per game, shooting 58.6% from the field and 38.7% from the three-point range.

However, after the Mavericks advanced 4-1, the team couldn't be happier, and the overall atmosphere was slightly depressed.

Because Josh Howard landed in the wrong posture during a layup in G5, and his left ankle was slightly sprained, he will miss G1 with a high probability.

Although the team doctor patted his chest to ensure that Howard would be able to catch up with G2, but a general was absent in the first game of the Western Conference finals, Nowitzki was in a terrible mood.

Originally, the Mavericks didn't have home court advantage, but now that they lack the front line defense gate, it is even more difficult to win against the Grizzlies.
