Chapter 459 Eastern Conference Semifinals G1
The Eastern Conference semifinals will be held between the Raptors and the Heat, so this round of the series is also known as an extension of the MVP battle.
Ying Xiong was unwilling to win the MVP, but he didn't feel bitter about it.In his opinion, it is theoretically possible to take it by himself or James. His own disadvantage is that the team's record is not as good as the opponent's.Although great progress has been made, it is not as good as it is.What's more, the NBA is an American basketball league after all, and the journalists and experts who voted would most likely favor local players under similar circumstances.This is not discrimination, at most it is a personal preference, which is understandable.What I have to do is to make continuous progress. If I can compete with unmatched results and performance in the future, I will no longer have to experience this bad feeling of "losing".
Everyone in the Raptors complained that Ying Xiong failed to win the MVP of the regular season. Coach Casey even said that Ying Xiong was the undisputed MVP of the regular season this season. His performance was "phenomenal". Bring a big team to No. 3 in the Eastern Conference, who in the entire league can do it?LeBron is excellent, but don't forget that there are two giants around him, he is not fighting alone!
In China, Ying Xiong regretted not being able to win the regular season MVP, and they all supported him.They found the example of Yao Ming's best rookie being snatched away by Stoudemire to ridicule how tricky the NBA's selection of regular season MVP is and how unfair it is to foreign players.
Of course, no matter how many people complain about Ying Xiong, it can't change the fact that the regular season MVP was taken away by James.
Heat VS Raptors, many Chinese sports media headlined "Three Heroes Vs Lu Bu", "Three Heroes" are naturally the Big Three of the Heat, and Lu Bu is Ying Xiong.
Comparing Yingxiong to Lu Bu puts him in a very high position, and his performance in the playoffs so far has not lost to anyone. Although the MVP was taken away by James, everyone knew that Ying Xiong didn't lose him at all in terms of performance.
In this round of the series, whether Lu Bu wins or Sanying wins, we will only find out when the game is played.
On May 5, the first game of the second round of the playoffs between the Heat and the Raptors will be played at the Heat's home stadium, the American Airlines Center.The attention paid to this game is unmatched.With the Heat's Big Three, the attention will naturally not be low, and the Big Three VS Ying Xiong, such a match, makes people extremely excited just thinking about it.
Although the forecast before the game was overwhelmingly optimistic about the Heat, Ying Xiong's supporters believed that no opponent was invincible.Although the Big Three are strong, they still lost to the Mavericks in the finals last season, and Ying Xiong was the main No. 2 of that Mavericks team.Therefore, the words cannot be spoken too early, the good show is yet to come.
The Heat's record in the regular season is No. 2 in the East, while the Raptors are No. 3 in the East, so the Heat have home court advantage. The first match between the two sides will be held at the Heat's home court.
The attendance rate of the American Airlines Center arena is very high. As the favorites to win the championship, their attendance rate has been ranked at the forefront of the league throughout the season.

Amidst the cheers of Heat fans wearing white T-shirts, James gave a speech of thanks, and then calmly walked to the ranks of his teammates, preparing for the next game.This is just the MVP of the regular season, not James' ultimate dream.

Chalmers dribbled the ball over half court and handed it to Wade.
James' right-wing waist position is important, and Ying Xiong is the one who defends him.
James turned his back to the opponent, and the latter lowered his center of gravity to withstand his lower body.The fans at the scene were not afraid of big things and kept booing.You know, the two of them fought very darkly in the previous regular season MVP competition.The fans of the two stars are also constantly spitting on the Internet. For a while, there are no shortage of these two names in major forums.
James pushed twice, then suddenly turned around to the line, and made a feint without shaking Yingxiong, and suddenly gave Bosh the free throw line.
Allen Gray's eyes were on James, and he missed Bosh at the free throw line, who took a catch-and-miss jumper.
Allong Gray made up for it and took the rebound.
Calderon dribbled the ball across half court and handed it to Ying Xiong at the top of the arc.
Ying Xiong calmly dribbled the ball against James, who lowered his center of gravity and was serious about defending.
James Johnson came up the pick-and-roll, Haslem came out to delay, and James squeezed through the screen.
Ying Xiong changed direction and walked to the other side, and suddenly raised his hand to point Along Grey on the inside. After receiving the ball, the latter attacked Bosh and was fouled by the opponent.
DeRozan throws the ball to Calderon, and Calderon points to James Johnson.
James Johnson stood in a high position to support and wanted to split Yingxiong, but found that James was defending very tightly. He split DeRozan.
James received the rebound and advanced with the ball himself.
Ying Xiong stayed in front of James and did not rush to steal the ball.
James faced the corresponding hero and divided Wade on the right.
Wade slows down with the ball, picks and rolls with Bosh at the top of the key, and then drives to the basket for a high-post Haslem, who gets distracted by Calderon for a catch-and-miss.
Ying Xiong received the rebound and handed it to Calderon to advance.
After Calderon made a pick-and-roll with Along Gray at the top of the arc, he hit the ground and gave it to Along Gray.
Along Gray didn't shoot in the high position, so he had to pass it to Ying Xiong.
With the help of Along Gray's screen, Ying Xiong walked to the basket with the ball, faced Bosh, and made a one-handed throw-no.
For the Heat, Wade made a high stop jumper - missed, the ball directly popped out of the baseline.
The game lasted for more than 2 minutes, both sides hit the iron one after another, and neither side scored.On the one hand, the defensive strength of the two sides is strong. On the other hand, neither side is a team with particularly good outside shooting. Therefore, once the outside feel is not good, everyone shrinks, the space becomes narrower, and it is more difficult to break through.
