Chapter 340 The regular season awards gradually released! The only suspense
As the game progressed, the first round of the game gradually came to an end.
In the end, the Lakers, Spurs, Rockets and Kings four Western teams and the Celtics, Knicks, Pacers and Orlando Magic, eight teams entered the conference semifinals side by side.
Here they will start a brand new best of 7 matchup!
At the same time, the awards of the regular season gradually surfaced in the gap between the first round and began to be announced.
First up — the Rookie of the Year lineup.
Begin to be reused in the middle of the season. Rashard Lewis, who averaged 11.3 points, 3.1 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game, was successfully selected to the rookie first team!
Alongside Lewis, Mike Bibby (13+6), Vince Carter (18+5+3), Paul Pierce (16+6), and 9+8 The champion Ogwo Kandi.
As for the rookie second team, it is composed of the popular Jason Williams, Michael Dixon, Michael Dodiak, Antoine Jamison and Matt Halprin.
Judging from the data and fighters, the Celtics' undrafted Aaron Bryant averaged 9 points and 5 assists per game. After playing 20 games in less than two months, it's really a pity that I didn't get the qualification to participate in the selection.
As for the best rookie, as in history, it was awarded to Vince Carter. After the peak duel with Lin Long in the slam dunk contest, Carter is very impressive in terms of popularity and statistics, and is recognized as the next superstar of the league.
Then, the sixth man of the year in the NBA was also awarded at this time. Charles Barkley, who was the main substitute for the first time in his career, won 91% of the votes with an average of 15 points and 9 rebounds per game. Any suspense beats Darrell Armstrong, Jaylen Rose, Dee Brown and others, and won the best sixth man!
Then there is the Most Improved Player Award.
This award actually fell to the Celtics once again, and was awarded to Lin Long!
According to common sense, the Most Improved Award will not be awarded to young players who are in the rising period. Their progress is expected, especially Lin Long who won the championship last year, the annual double first team, For FMVP guys, normally, they have won this kind of honor, how the hell can you improve?
But Lin Long is making progress! And the magnitude of the progress is terrifying.
His scoring average reached a terrifying 39 points per game, which was more than ten points higher than last year. His team's victories increased from 57 games to 74 games. Two months to end the MVP discussion.
It was this performance that made it impossible for the judges to ignore Lin Long, nor could they continue to adhere to the so-called principles of the Most Improved Player selection. They unanimously voted for Lin Long.
Then, the Defensive Team of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year.
In this selection, the Celtics once again used a near-monopoly form, and many people were selected.
The first is Lin Long. Lin Long, as the only monster in the league with all five major statistics in the top ten, not only supported the team on offense, but also became the center of Celtics' defense this season.
He can guard the opponent's top star scorer inside and out, he can also roam around as a sweeper to double-team and switch with his teammates, and he can also serve as the team's last barrier, guarding the basket.
A defender with almost no flaws, Lin Long was voted unanimously to the All-Defensive First Team!
Big Ben, who averaged 4 points, 13 rebounds, and 3 blocks per game, and Bruce Bowen, who averaged 6 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, and 2 steals per game, continued their undrafted miraculous counter-attack journey and were both selected into the Defensive First Team of the Year.
And the three of them were selected as the first defensive team of the year, it is Tim Duncan and Gary Payton.
3 people were selected for the annual defensive first team at the same time in the same year, which once again created a new history!
The previous history was that two people created by the Bulls Pippen and Jordan were selected at the same time.
This once again proves how horrible the Celtics are, they can really dominate both ends of the court at the same time!
The second defensive team of the year is more star-studded than the first team! Jason Kidd, Eddie Jones, Scott Pippen, Karl Malone, and Alonzo Mourning were also selected for the defensive team of the year. Second team.
The award for the best defensive player is almost without any suspense!
Lin Long got 97% of the votes and deservedly lifted the Defensive Player of the Year trophy.
After monopolizing the major awards, the two management and uniform awards were also announced at this time. Without any accident, they were wrapped up by the Celtics again.
The best general manager was once again won by Auerbach, and the best coach was won by Larry Bird, who created the first record in history.
For these two awards, which have always been full of suspense and possibility, the voting results once again appeared to be one-sided.
Auerbach and Bird both got more than 95% of the vote, crushing all competitors.
So far, most of the league's awards have been announced, and only the two most important awards, the final mvp and the best team of the year, have not been announced.
Of course, except for idiots and idiots, now 100% of people are sure that Lin Long will win this year's mvp, and there is no opponent.
・・・・For flowers・・・
Even, there is actually only one suspense about mvp this year.
Can Lin Long become the first unanimous MVP in NBA history?
You know, the previous mvp, whether it was Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic or Larry Bird and Jordan, they never won the unanimous vote!
There are always whimsical reporters or guys with subjective emotions who will vote for other players.
And this year's Lin Long, played an unparalleled season performance, created countless records and milestones, and he showed his dominance at both ends of the offense and defense this year!
Even higher than the peak season of any NBA star in history!
Many reporters and media people have said: If one person must be selected to become the first unanimous MVP in NBA history, then this person must be Lin Long!
There is no second person more qualified than Lin Long!
The final suspense of this regular season usually needs to be officially announced when the semifinals of the division are coming to an end.
Although with the awards being awarded one by one, almost half of the semi-finals have now been played, but everyone has to be patient and wait for another week.
In the second round, the Celtics had a 3-0 lead over the Orlando Magic, and they were only one game away from qualifying. They also did not leave any chance for the Magic in the first three games. More than 25 points!
Tormented by knee and ankle injuries like an old man's 'Penny' Hardaway, he used to be a man of nine stars, but now, he can only watch Lin Long smash the Magic's defense, and he can't give anything at all. due response.
The former Jordan successor, now, has long been left behind by Lin Long.
The fourth game between the two sides kicked off with the cheers of the fans.
At the beginning of the game, the Celtics did not have any intention of releasing water.
Taking out his tough defense and sharp counterattack together, the Magic team was almost powerless to fight back and quickly opened the score.
Although the Magic team has a good record this season, it is more relying on top coach Chuck Daly's strategizing and playing a very good team basketball, which is able to squeeze into the second round of the playoffs.
As for Hardaway, his ill-fated knee had long ago tortured him.
The current Hardaway is no longer the same person as the 'Penny' who made it to the finals against Biao Jordan back then.
So Hardaway didn't respond and couldn't respond when the Celtics fired around and played their super game.
His knees couldn't support his thoughts for a long time, and he couldn't let him tear open the opponent's defenses again and again when facing Bowen, and then score big.
