Without O'Neal Jr., the Hornets are still vulnerable.

Boxing champion Tyson himself is not an offensive insider, so there is not much difference in who is used to face him.

As for the rest of the Hornets, even if they wanted to exploit the Suns' internal weaknesses, they couldn't.

Because they have very few opportunities to get inside.

Li Ang could always guard Paul before he entered the penalty area, and Diaw also forced David West to shoot from the edge of the three-second zone.

In addition, Li Ang's defensive assist badge has also become a diamond level, which makes it more convenient for him to play at both ends of the defensive end.

When playing against the Hornets, there is really not much difference with or without O'Neal. Don't mention O'Neal, even if Nash is given, Leon can handle the Hornets.

3-0, the Suns have pulled the point difference to double digits for three consecutive games!

Paul finally realized deeply that it was simply a luxury to hope to win against Li Ang once.

That nonsense, don't talk about Paul, a second-year rookie. McGrady has been in the league for almost 10 years, and he has never defeated Liang in the playoffs.

At this point, the outcome of the first round of the series has basically been decided.

Unless Paul grows 15 centimeters overnight and turns into a serious Jordan, the Hornets have no chance.

However, it is not easy to grow 15 centimeters longer. This is no longer something that the little blue pill can solve. This is probably not a transplant.

Jordan said, even if you replace Paul with me, I may not be able to reverse the situation.

This is not a question of whether you can survive the beating, this is a question of whether your ribs can hold up.

Playing ball with Li Ang, the more you play, the weaker you will become.

At this point in the playoffs, NBA officials have begun to announce the final selection results of this year's regular season awards.

The first one to be announced is this year’s Most Improved Award.

Dior successfully defeated Monta Ellis, Kevin Martin and other opponents and became the winner of this year's Most Improved Award!

Before being with the Eagles, Diaw had basically been completely abandoned.

In the final season of the Hawks, he averaged only 8.8 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game.

This season, after the Suns changed from guard to power forward, his data has become 15.4 points, 6.9 rebounds and 4.3 assists.

The progress is indeed great.

All I can say is that the Suns have always been an outstanding team.

If Dior continues to stay in Atlanta, it is very likely that he will be inactive for the rest of his life.

But he stood out despite being sidelined next to Leon and Nash.

Dior's win can be regarded as the beginning of this year's regular season award presentation.

The most anticipated event this year is naturally the MVP selection.

This may be the most suspenseful year in MVP selection in recent years.

In the past few seasons, there was actually no suspense about the MVP.

The Mavericks had such an outstanding record last season, and Dirk's statistics were also very impressive. No team's record was even close to that of the Mavericks.

Therefore, it is reasonable for Dirk to win the MVP.

Going forward a few years, Li Ang led the team to 72 wins in 2005. If he can lead the team to 70 wins, there will be no suspense about the MVP.

Going forward, the same situation applies to the Suns' 68 wins in the 2004 season. If the Suns have a good record and Li Ang's statistics are good, the MVP will definitely go to the league's number one star.

But this year, the situation is different.

This year, the Mavericks are still No. 1 in the league, but Nowitzki's average of 23.4 points, 8.9 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game is not particularly impressive.

There is no need to compare with others. Compared with his own last season, this data has even declined.

Nowitzki's advantage in competing for MVP is undoubtedly based on his record.

But in terms of record, the Mavericks are not that amazing this season.

Although the Suns are only second in the league, they only have two fewer wins than the Mavericks. One has 67 wins and the other has 69 wins. The Mavericks have not opened up a qualitative gap in record.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Let’s take a look at Li Ang’s data. Compared to Dirk’s tepid performance, Li Ang averaged 32.8 points, 9.4 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 1.7 steals per game this season.

And the data of 1.6 blocks!

The data almost crushes Dirk in all aspects, and he is also the regular season scoring champion this season.

Well, Kobe Bryant's position as the scoring champion was taken back by Leon after only sitting for one year.

This is due to the fact that Odang is not skilled enough as a forward and occasionally has the evil thought of jumping up to grab rebounds.

Otherwise, Li Ang's rebounds per game would definitely be in double digits.

Under such circumstances, although Li Ang is only second in the league, it is not impossible to win the MVP.

The MVP winner may not always be selected from the league's No. 1 team.

In the 2000-01 season, the Spurs had 58 wins and the 76ers had 56 wins, but the MVP was not Duncan, but Iverson, who averaged 31.1 points per game.

96-97 was even more classic. Jordan's Bulls won 69 games, while Malone's Jazz only won 64 games. As a result, Malone stole the MVP from Jordan.

Although some people think that Malone can win this MVP purely because Jordan has won too many MVPs and people are a little tired of it, so he chose Malone.

And that year, the Jazz also paid the price in the playoffs and were defeated by Jordan in a very cruel way.

But no matter what the reason is, the MVP is not necessarily the number one star in the league.

It's just that the league's number one star has the highest probability of winning the MVP.

Therefore, many people feel that it is very likely that Li Ang will stage a counterattack again after many years and steal the MVP from Nowitzki!

Li Ang's performance is indeed impeccable. Whether it is offensive efficiency, defensive efficiency or versatility, he is better than Dirk.

And these 67 wins were achieved when Li Ang was suspended for 15 games!

Many people believe that if Li Ang had not been suspended for fighting, the Suns might have achieved 70 wins in the regular season for the second time in history.

In short, this year's MVP selection is finally no longer so boring and begins to affect the hearts of all fans.

If Dirk wins the MVP, his historical status as a two-time MVP will change.

And if Li Ang wins the MVP, he will become another legend who has won the MVP three times in his career.

There are three MVPs in the history of the NBA, and one of them is considered a big-shot figure.

Kobe Bryant: Do three All-Star MVPs count?

And if Li Ang does it, he will be the only international player on this list.

Regarding who can win the MVP, the two groups of fans are quarreling on the Internet.

"Of course it's my Dirk. He's handsome, has good grades, and can drive backwards. What shortcomings do you think he has?"

People directly suspected that this was Cuban's trumpet. In Cuban's eyes, the sauerkraut that Dirk stepped on was fragrant.

There are also many people supporting Li Ang. Li Ang ranks in the top 20 in the league in terms of points, assists and rebounds this year. There are still many 50- and 40-point games this season, and he even scored 71 points.

With such a dominant performance, it would be unreasonable not to win MVP.

The neutral fans are very sad.

Geneva, when the NBA league is discussing MVP, it is actually discussing two crooked nuts!?

Where did all the local players from the beautiful country die?

Some people suggested that the wages of Mi Li’s basketball players should be lowered and they should not be given sea cucumbers to eat!

With such a high salary, the MVP can only watch the Chinese and Germans compete. How shameful!

Amid the debate among fans, the fourth game of the series between the Suns and the Hornets ended in a one-sided situation as always.

Because they were 0-3 behind, the Hornets had no resistance in Game 4 and allowed the Suns players to deal damage to them.

The game once again fell into garbage time, but this time the Suns did not play hard, and in the end they only defeated the Hornets by 22 points.

In four games, the Hornets have lost by an average of 26.5 points per game...

This is the series with the largest average point difference per game in NBA history, and it is probably also the series with the largest difference in strength.

A three-game series created two pieces of history, and even Kidd had to be resigned to this.

After the game, Li Ang finally upgraded successfully and got 10 extra point opportunities.

Li Ang had already thought about the plan to add points this time.

He first spent 3 attribute points to add the lateral movement attribute, increasing his lateral movement speed from 92 to 95. If he goes up, he will need to add 2 attribute points once.

Later, Li Ang used 5 more attribute points to increase his strength from 86 to 91!

These two extra points are all preparations for the next game against the Spurs.

The disadvantage of O'Neal's absence may not be reflected in the Hornets. But soon, when facing the Spurs, this disadvantage will be infinitely magnified.

O'Neal Jr.'s return date has not yet been determined, and the Spurs' inside line is almost a dimensionality-reducing blow to the Suns.

Tim Duncan, Li Ang doesn't dare to underestimate that guy's strength.
