Andrei Kirilenko, the true core of the Jazz, once again showcased his prowess, averaging 15 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 blocks, and 3 steals over six playoff gas.
The other twin star from Wake Forest, Chris Paul, also demonstrated his higher basketball IQ compared to Deron at the sa stage.
Having quickly absorbed Jerry Sloan’s tactics, and facing Atkins, who was a pushover in this series, Paul delivered an impressive average of 18 points, 8 assists, and 4 rebounds in his first playoff journey.
The Wake Forest twin stars both led their teams to break through the first round.
At this mont, it wasn’t the NBA scouts or team general managers who felt the most, but those opponents whom Wake Forest defeated last year with an undefeated record in the NCAA:
See, now do you know how strong that Devil’s Deacon Team was last year? Losing to them, does that an we aren’t good?
According to the schedule, in the Western Conference Semifinals, Phoenix Suns will face the relatively softer pushover, the Jazz.
anwhile, the Spurs will face the Warriors.
Tim Duncan, the longest river in Wake Forest history, will have a direct conversation with Qin Yue, the highest mountain in Wake Forest history!
On the night of the 8th, the NBA officially announced the various awards for the 05/06 regular season.
Still adhering to the basic law of regular season MVP, David Stern, under imnse external pressure, personally handed a "disaster" to Steve Nash.
As such, Nash, who should rightfully be the regular season MVP again, is destined to carry the label of "trophy thief" for life.
As a result of the league’s carefully considered decision, a popular and well-represented player, who led the Suns to a top-two finish in the West with over 60 wins...
Since in the eyes of Qin Yue’s fans and Warriors fans, Nash shalessly stole the MVP trophy that originally belonged to Qin Yue, online...
Warriors fans, in their fury, almost instantly stord the NBA website.
"Scam! Scam! Scam!"
"Despicable Jew! You should be burned alive!"
"A point guard who has never touched a championship, how can he win the regular season MVP for two consecutive years? A point guard recognized by the world as the worst defender in the NBA, how can he steal the ssiah’s trophy? The NBA has proven with actions that the regular season MVP is the most undeserving award, bar none!"
Despite the world’s anger, Qin Yue himself was not that angry, or rather... he had long foreseen this day.
After all, this era of the NBA is not twenty years in the future.
No matter how many objective reasons there are, the Warriors were only seeded fifth in the West during the regular season.
Therefore... even though Qin Yue believes he is the best, since the NBA chose to adhere to the basic law of regular season MVP, Qin Yue naturally has no objections.
However...
On this day, when Stern personally delivered that "disaster" to Nash’s hands, the heavens simultaneously cast a "curse" upon the NBA of this tiline.
This "curse" is nad that as long as anyone dares to touch the NBA regular season MVP trophy without reaching Qin Yue’s standards in the future, including players like Westbrook in Qin Yue’s mory...
They are dood to be completely crushed by this "curse".
As compensation from the league, Qin Yue was awarded this year’s NBA Defensive Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year.
Little Deng Liwei indirectly beca a beneficiary, "stealing" the Sixth Man of the Year that originally belonged to Mike Miller with an average of 11.4 points in the regular season.
The Warriors reaped significant rewards on the awards day, yet it was still not enough to quell the anger of Warriors fans.
Even though Qin Yue was also selected for the NBA All-NBA First Team and the All-Defensive First Team this year.
Because in the eyes of Warriors fans, rely being in both first teams is what the league should award Qin Yue.
"Did you forget... that in NBA history, no player has ever made the double first teams in their rookie season?"
Yes, until soone reminded them, this group of angry Warriors fans realized Qin Yue, the legendary rookie, had inadvertently created another historical record.
The first player in NBA history to make the double first teams in their rookie season.
And the first player in NBA history to be nad "DPOY" in their rookie season.
And if you combine the two, then...
You can even understand it as Qin Yue has created a record never seen before and likely never to be seen again in the future.
In truth, even if Qin Yue had perford well defensively during the regular season, the judges could entirely use the Warriors’ high average points allowed in the regular season as an excuse to place Qin Yue in the All-Defensive Second Team or not let him enter the All-Defensive Teams at all.
As for Defensive Player of the Year?
That is absolutely a form of compensation.
"Scam!"
Upon learning that Qin Yue won this year’s "DPOY", Duncan imdiately sent a text to Qin Yue.
In response, Qin Yue imdiately replied, "Well deserved!"
"I’ve clearly seen your lazy defensive performance since January this year, you disgraceful trophy thief!"
"I average 3.4 blocks per ga!"
"Marcus Camby also averages over 3 blocks per ga."
"I also average 13.1 rebounds per ga!"
"You think I don’t know Kwa Brown sets screens for you every night?"
"As an interior player, I also average 1.3 steals per ga!"
"You have height, wingspan, and impressive athletic ability, that’s just what you should be."
"The league robbed of my regular season MVP!"
"If the Warriors were in the top four of the West, I would vote in your favor with both hands, but the fifth seed in the West has no business touching an MVP? Anyway, that doesn’t get my approval."
