Chapter 414: No. 1 in History, MVP for 4 Consecutive Years

The next day, on the 6th, the Trail Blazers defeated the Kings without any suspense.

But in this game, Larry Bird changed the starting lineup that had played all season. To be precise, he changed Zhao Dong's position.

Zhao Dong moved from the No. 1 position to the No. 4 position, mainly defending Chris Webber, and the No. 1 position was handed over to Eddie Jones.

But in fact, his function has not changed. He plays the same point forward as Webber, and the Blazers' offense is still organized by him.

On the defensive end, he was not at a disadvantage in terms of height, wingspan, or jumping ability. He also had advantages in terms of tonnage, strength, and speed. Under his defense, Webb was greatly outclassed.

Weber was prevented from dying, and the King's Princeton system was completely unable to operate. They were defeated in a mess, 71:115, defeated by 44 points, and they were completely convinced of the defeat.

In addition, the youth army Bulls defeated the Heat.

On the 7th, the second round continues.

In the G2 battle with the Digital Team, the Nets still maintained a low-post advantage. After halftime, they were already leading by 10 points.

But 4 minutes into the second half, the postman suddenly elbowed Dayao on his head for a jumper. Dayao's right eyebrow was opened and his face was covered with blood, so he had to leave the game temporarily.

Postman got a defensive foul, but it gave Team Numbers a chance to win.

Duncan's spacing ability is not as good as Yao's. Postman and Ratliff, the two top defensive players, are sitting in the paint area. Marbury does not dare to break in. Postman and the others start to double-team Duncan again. Duncan's efficiency begins to decline. The Nets The overall efficiency dropped even more, and the digital team quickly narrowed the point difference. After the third quarter, they had already taken the lead by one point.

At this time, Dayao, who had already had stitches, appeared on the court again and played with an injury.

The first ball was the Nets' attack. Dayao pulled to the left wing, three meters away from the paint area, and brought out the postman. Duncan also pulled to the right low post, and the Digital Team's basket was emptied.

At this time, Marbury broke through, attracted Ratliff's cover when he reached the basket, and then passed the ball to Duncan. Facing Iverson's defense, Duncan was absolutely open and easily scored a goal.

Under the restraint of Dayao's stretching ability, the Nets once again played an efficient offense, but the digital team has begun to fall behind.

In the sixth minute of the last quarter, the Digital Team fell behind by 6 points again. The postman's eyes were red, and he once again elbowed Dayao, the key player of the Nets, and the elbow was on his right eyebrow, where Dayao had just sewn up. After being opened again, Dayao fell directly to the floor.

Zhao Dong was watching in front of the TV and wanted to rush into the TV to fuck the postman. He was very depressed.

This time, the postman finally got a flagrant foul, but the referee showed mercy and only gave him a first-level flagrant foul instead of a direct penalty.

But Dayao was no longer able to compete. After the second trauma, the wound was too large and he was sent directly to the hospital. He needed to be carefully examined to prevent a concussion.

With Dayao's elbow, the digital team also took the opportunity to win the G2 game and even the big score.

Just after the game ended, Zhao Dong's cell phone rang. It was a reporter from Portland Sports News who wanted to interview him.

"Feilong, what do you think of the postman's behavior of elbowing Yao twice?" the reporter asked.

"I don't want to comment on his behavior, I just want to ask him one thing, if he reaches the finals, how will he pass my level?"

Zhao Dong said this in a cold voice and hung up the phone.

Then he called Dayao and turned off the phone. He didn't get through until he went to bed.

"Postman, Feilong is targeting you. You are destined not to win a championship." Zhao Dong's words were published on the front page of Portland Sportswear the next day.

Some media interviewed the postman and asked him what he wanted to say about Zhao Dong's words. The postman had a very tough attitude and said coldly: "Do the Trail Blazers still have a chance to enter the finals?"

"Dayao, how is the situation?"

At nine o'clock in the morning, after getting up, Zhao Dong finally called Dayao's mobile phone.

"It's okay, Brother Dong, I just need a few more stitches, so I won't miss the G3 game." Dayao said.

"Next time you face off, be tougher and teach him a lesson. Let him know that you are not someone to be bullied." Zhao Dong encouraged.

"I understand, Brother Dong." Dayao said solemnly.

It’s not like he’s never elbowed a postman before, and his will is strong enough to not be afraid at all.

At noon, Zhao Dong accepted an interview with the media in front of his home and learned what the postman said from the media.

The reporter asked him what he would do if the Trail Blazers were eliminated by the Lakers and the Nets were eliminated by the digital team.

Zhao Dong secretly thought: "Why the hell should I be so angry?"

He said coldly: "Then I have to apologize to the Lakers. I will do my best to reach the finals."

That night, the Trail Blazers defeated the Kings twice, and the Bulls lost to the Heat, resulting in a tie.

In addition, the Lakers also defeated the Mavericks for the second time last night.

On the 9th, the Nets play away from home.

In the second round of the playoffs this season, a 22111 format will be implemented. The Nets will have two away games before returning to their home court.

When the game started, the postman targeted Dayao again.

Dayao has a stronger ability to pull away, and his tactical status in the Nets is higher than Duncan. The postman just wants to beat him down.

But this time, Dayao, who still had gauze tied on his head, also raised his elbows.

The first ball was a Nets attack. Dayao got the ball in the low post on the left wing. The postman was behind him, talking trash and elbowing him.

Dayao remembered Zhao Dong's words, and his eyes instantly became cold. He turned around suddenly and swung his right elbow outwards. With a bang, the postman behind him groaned and was hit on the bridge of his nose. He was directly hit by the nosebleeds. fell to the ground.

"Ha ha……"

In front of the TV, Zhao Dong laughed heartily.

Dayao received an offensive foul because his turning movement was very coherent and he did not intentionally elbow anyone.

As for the postman, his nose was broken and he was killed immediately.

Iverson was the only one left in the numbers team, and his great abilities were useless. In the next few minutes, the Nets overwhelmed their opponents on both offense and defense.

But the postman is indeed tough enough. He dealt with the injury hastily off the court and returned to the court again.

But both Dayao and Duncan remained tough enough when facing him. Unless he directly knocked Dayao and Duncan off the field with an elbow, there was no way to restore the disadvantage.

The postman was also forced to a dead end. He was already old. If he didn't win the championship, he would really have no chance, so he desperately chose to play hard, and his target was still Dayao.

But perhaps it was his fate that he would not have a chance to win the championship. He miscalculated with the next elbow hit.

Dayao seemed to feel that the postman was about to attack him. During an attack under the basket, he shook the postman away and was about to go for a layup when he suddenly sensed the danger and lowered his hands again.

This formed a fake layup. The postman was shaken up and his elbow was swung out.

If Yao didn't make a fake move and just took off for a layup, he would definitely be elbowed in the head by the postman from the side. The consequences may be similar to Thomas the Smiling Assassin, but now the postman is free.

When the postman fell, Dayao stood up for the second time, holding the ball with both hands and raising it up. His left elbow, which was supported outward, hit the falling postman's face.

"Ah! My eyes..."

The postman grunted in pain, covered his left face and fell to the ground. He rolled in pain and howled as blood seeped out from between his fingers.

Dayao failed to make a layup. At this time, the referee stopped the game. Seeing the appearance of the postman, he directly signaled the number team doctor to come on.

The team attacker came up with his assistant to check and was shocked.

The postman's upper left eyelid was torn open diagonally upward, and his left eyeball must have been squeezed hard, causing severe congestion.

It should be that the tip of Dayao's elbow directly hit his left eye, tearing his eyelid and brow bone upward.

Soon, the postman was carried off and taken directly to the hospital.

This accident was completely unexpected. Dayao didn't even commit a common foul.

And if the postman hadn't been seriously injured, the referee would have given him a flagrant foul because he saw him swinging his elbow outward.

The digital team lost the postman and had no capital to compete with the Nets. The Nets successfully won the G3 game and led by a big score of 2 to 1.

"The mailman's gone! The email portfolio's gone! The numbers team's gone!" sighs commentator Whoopi Brown.

After the game, Dayao returned to the locker room and called Zhao Dong.

"Brother Dong, I didn't mean it."

"So what if it's intentional? His free elbow is obviously trying to defeat you. Don't worry, there's no need to take this matter to heart. Just focus on the game. We'll meet in the finals." Zhao Dong encouraged.

"I understand, Brother Dong." Dayao nodded over there.

Hubie Brown's words came true. The next morning, the Digital Team officially announced the postman's injury. He suffered blunt trauma to his left eyeball, ruptured crystals, and was out for the season.

Zhao Dong accepted an interview with the media in front of his home this morning. This was an interview he took the initiative to accept. He said: "Obviously, the postman wanted to elbow Yao from the side. As long as he seriously injured Yao, the digital team would have a great chance. Win this series. However, God is wise, and Dayao made a very realistic fake move.

So I would like to advise all players, when you are defending, don't always think about hurting people maliciously. If the postman hadn't elbowed Yao for a layup, he might not have been injured. "

After Zhao Dong, many stars accepted media interviews and expressed their attitudes.

For example, Barkley, Jordan, Thomas, and even David Robinson all have the same attitude and believe that the postman deserves it.

In this on-field injury incident, the injured postman who was hospitalized was criticized by the media, but Dayao was not affected at all.

Without the postman, there was no email combination. Iverson could not hold on alone. In the next series, he was overwhelmed by the powerful Nets.

On the 11th, the Lakers once again completed the sweep and took the lead in reaching the Western Conference Finals.

At the same time, the Nets led the digital team three to one.

On the 12th, the Trail Blazers, like the Lakers, completed a second-round sweep and met the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals.

At the same time, the Bulls in the Eastern Conference tied with the Heat at 2-2.

On the 13th, the Nets defeated the Digital Team and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals with a big score of four to one.

On the 14th, the Bulls defeated the Heat and gained a key match point.

However, the youth team Bulls are still too young, and the relationship between Rasheed Wallace and Tracy McGrady has not been good, so there is a certain internal friction in the combat power. In the G6 game on the 16th, they lost to the Heat again, and the two sides entered Tie-break.

In the end, the Bulls relied on their stronger strength to eliminate the Heat in the tiebreaker and advance to the Eastern Conference Finals.

In this way, the Eastern Conference will pit the Nets and Bulls against the Eastern Conference Finals, and the West will pit the Trail Blazers against the Lakers, with the former having home court advantage.

The Eastern Conference Finals will start on the 22nd, while the Western Conference Finals will start two days earlier on the 19th.

Magic Johnson was interviewed in New York. When talking about the situation of the East-West Finals, he said: "There should be no suspense in the Eastern Conference Finals. The strength gap between the two sides is too big. The second round between the Eastern Digital Team and the Nets will be an early Eastern Conference Finals. Maybe the Bulls It’s possible to be swept. As for the Western Conference Finals, I think the Lakers, who have an absolute advantage inside, will win in the end.”

Not to mention the reaction of the Trail Blazers, in fact Zhao Dong was too lazy to respond to Magic Johnson's words. The Bulls' Rasheed Wallace couldn't stand Magic's words of looking down on the Bulls. When being interviewed by the reporters accompanying the team, he said angrily:

"That guy was also optimistic about the Lakers last year, but the Lakers were swept by the Knicks. He is a big mouth, and he can't believe a word he says. His mouth smells like shit.

Our Bulls are very strong, and we are going to surprise people this time, especially the Magic guy. "

This time McGrady and Roaring God are in sync. In an interview with Chicago Sports News, he said: "We will not admit defeat, especially we will not be swept as some people said. The Nets are not invincible."

On the 17th, the league announced the honor of the regular season MVP.

There is no suspense about this. Even if Zhao Dong has won this honor for three consecutive years, it must be given to him this year.

This is the fourth consecutive year that Zhao Dong has won the MVP, and he once again created history.

Jordan accepted an interview with the media and said: "Congratulations to Feilong! But what I want to say is that if his team continues to maintain a certain lineup and achieve a good record in the future, I guess the MVP will continue to be given to him in the future."

David Stern is also very helpless. If I don’t give it to Feilong, who will I give it to? A 40+ triple-double and the best record in the league. If I don’t give it to him, I will be sprayed to death by the fans!

On the 18th, the Lakers arrived in Portland and held a press conference at the hotel desk.

"We will have a final battle with the Trail Blazers in the low post and at the basket, and we will be the winner." The three giants of the Lakers expressed their stance, with a very unified attitude.

Zhao Dong watched the news program and was a little confused. Aren't the Lakers' locker room unstable? Why did it seem like there was nothing wrong with these three guys?

Moreover, Kobe actually joked with his teammates during the press conference, talking and laughing. This is almost impossible to happen, but it happened.

Zhao Dong did not expect that it was precisely because he and Lindsay attended Kobe's wedding that Kobe did not break up with his parents and family in the end, which changed Kobe's attitude towards life to a certain extent.

It is precisely because of this change that Kobe changed his attitude in the locker room, making the Lakers' locker room unstable and stable.
