Chapter 773 [Emotional Intelligence Comes First, Fierce Fight for 7]

When Stephen Curry held a press conference and gave his MVP acceptance speech, he said much more than Yang Rui and was filled with emotion.

This was a huge honor. When facing reporters, he held the trophy and expressed a little nervousness, and then thanked his family, wife, teammates, coaches, management and God.

Curry learned how to advertise with Yang Rui, and specifically mentioned his younger brother Seth Curry.

"Growing up, we had a lot of fierce rivalries. Every time we played one-on-one in the backyard at home, you gave me a lot of trouble. I often joked that we could just play basketball all night. I know, there is one in the league As a brother who plays basketball, having a dad who played in the league won't make it easy for you. I like your attitude, the sky is the limit for you. Keep going, you have always been the pride of our family."

This summer, Seth will participate in the NBA draft, but after the end of this season, he underwent right tibial surgery, which will cause him to miss the pre-draft NBA team workouts and subsequent summer leagues. If Curry hadn't said these words, his younger brother would have been very likely to lose the draft. Although he is good at shooting, he has an average body and will suffer in confrontation.

Curry mentioned the people in the management team and named many people, including the equipment manager. Most stars will ignore such a small person, but Curry has a good relationship with the staff.

Curry commented on every player on the team, especially Chris Paul, who taught him a lot; he also thanked Blake Griffin, saying that only by combining inside and outside can the best basketball be played.

Even with the three rookies who just joined the team, Curry had a lot of interactions with them, talked about their characteristics, and wished everyone good performance in the future.

"I have to tell the story of me and my teammates in such a long way because we have a great memory, and what I said before are just some fragments of this journey. It all means a lot to us. How much sacrifice, how much sweat , how much perseverance can we get to where we are today. It takes 15 people. There is no room for mistakes in this formula, and we have none."

"We are all grateful. Thank you to the team behind me. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't be where I am today. I want to mention everyone, because in the future I will be able to remember who I fought with this year. I sincerely appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. Thank you to each and every one of you. I'm honored to be this year's MVP. Thank you."

Griffin was a little unhappy because he didn't get more ball rights and couldn't compete for the MVP this season. But after listening to Curry's speech, he felt much more comfortable and admired Curry a little.

Because he can't speak so well, there is a reason why Yang Rui put Curry in the position. His character is suitable for being a leader.

Griffin is more of a fierce general, like Zhang Fei. When faced with problems, he is more likely to get hot-headed than his teammates. This has happened many times in the game, and he is not the strongest yet.

Many media want to provoke internal conflicts in the Clippers, dig up big news, and watch Curry compete with Paul and Griffin for the core position. Throughout the season, reporters' favorite question is who is the boss of the Clippers.

All these people were disappointed. After Curry gave a lengthy speech, he thanked everyone and shared all the credit, saying that he only won the trophy due to the luck of his team.

After being disappointed, the reporters had no choice but to change their goals. If they wanted to see internal strife, they should focus on the Lakers. The characters of the Clippers are unreasonable.

What Yang Rui likes most about Curry is his super high emotional intelligence. It is unreasonable for such a person to be unpopular.

In Yang Rui's previous life, the Warriors' success was closely related to Curry's emotional intelligence. They have four superstars, including Durant, who has a negative emotional intelligence, and Draymond Green, who has a flamboyant personality. Internal conflicts can easily arise. , but the atmosphere in the Warriors team is very good. It is Curry who unites his teammates very well, and even Green only listens to his words.

Looking at his playing ability, it may be a little early for Curry to win the award, but looking at his overall ability, he definitely deserves the MVP.

Other games in the playoffs continue. The Eastern Nets swept the 76ers 4-0.

Sitting on the mountain with the Clippers and watching the battle between tigers and tigers, the other two rounds of the series were very intense.

The Cavaliers eliminated the Pacers in a 4-3 tiebreaker.

The lineups of the two teams are incompatible. The Pacers aimed at the Cavaliers' weak internal defense. Hibbert and David West took turns bombing. On the outside, George, Stephenson, Crawford, and George Hill all had their own characteristics, and their offense flourished. , and can also flank James near the penalty area while not missing three-pointers. The Cavaliers' three-point shooting rate throughout the series was appalling.

In the inside battle, Bosh had 11 points and 4.3 rebounds, while Hibbert had 22.1 points and 10.4 rebounds, shooting 56% from the field. In this series, Hibbert looks like the league's No. 1 center, and Bosh has been beaten to the point of doubting his life.

The Pacers' defeat was due to the lack of a superstar. The score was anxious in the final game, and no one could guarantee the hit rate when key shots were needed. The Cavaliers had James, Wade, and experienced veteran Ray Allen.

If James hadn't scored a triple-double and a buzzer beater in the first game, the Pacers would have won two Cavaliers home games, and there might have been no suspense in this series.

The Western Spurs eliminated the Thunder 4-3.

The reason why the Thunder lost was because the substitute strength was too poor. Without Harden, the Thunder lost a strong offensive point. Once the second young master's offense is blocked, the Thunder will be unable to open up the situation.

The Spurs' strengths are Duncan and Parker. Ginobili averaged 11.5 points and 5 assists per game, shot only 39% from the field and 30% from three-point range. He has been reduced to a role player.

Ginobili didn't play well in the regular season, averaging only 11.8 points and 4.6 assists per game, his lowest score since his rookie season.

Kawhi Leonard has become a surprise player for the Spurs. He does a very good job of defending Durant alone. He can also open up space on the offensive end and catch and shoot. In the series, he averaged 12 points and 6 rebounds per game and shot 49.4% from the field. The three-point shooting rate is 40%.

Durant can still score high points, but his shooting percentage is very low in two games. Westbrook's shooting percentage was less than 40% in three games, and the Thunder lost all of them, including the crucial home tiebreaker.

In the decisive battle, Westbrook made 8 of 23 shots, shooting only 34.8% from the field, 1 of 6 three-pointers, and 16.7% from the field. The highlight was 17 of 18 free throws, scoring 34 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists, 7 turnovers and 5 fouls.

Because the shooting rate was too low and there were many mistakes, many people said that Wei Shao guarded Durant to death. In fact, he took the blame for the Thunder substitutes. All the substitutes scored a total of only 5 points in this game, all scored by veteran Fisher. The offense could not be opened in the final quarter, Durant was out of energy, and Wei Shao could only break through in the face of double teams.

Fisher played 33 minutes and scoring 5 points was nothing special. Not only did he fail to strengthen the offensive power of the second team, he also ruined the Thunder's character. Fans didn't want to see this guy win.

Earlier this season, Fisher played for the Knicks and only played 13 games. He asked to part ways with the Knicks after suffering a knee injury because he wanted to return home to Los Angeles to be with his family.

In fact, he originally wanted to hug Stoudemire and Anthony's thighs, and seeing that the Knicks were short of point guards, he wanted to get stable playing time.

The Knicks were recruiting in the summer, and their lineup was not bad and seemed promising, which led Fisher to misjudge the situation. But he soon discovered that the Knicks had no chance of competing for the championship and it would be difficult to even make the playoffs, so he didn't want to stay in New York.

Not long after his contract with the Knicks was terminated, Fisher freely joined the Thunder. He said that he had a great time in Oklahoma City and that his teammates in the Thunder were like his family.

The Knicks would have to be crazy to hire this guy as their head coach in the future.
