MTL - NBA: No. 1 Forward-Chapter 565 unexpected surprise
D'Antoni believes that the Pacers are in the lineup, and it is more difficult for the Eagles, whose internal strength has been greatly reduced.
Vogel's tactical system is very dependent on the players' own defensive ability, which means that their defense is not very good.
And Lian Dao's defense-breaking ability is not comparable to that of Jeff Teague and Joe Johnson. If the Pacers only rely on single defense, they may not even know how to die.
But the problem with the Pacers is that they are not good at assisting defense, so Lian Dao will definitely cause huge damage to the Pacers.
At the same time, the Knicks' inside involvement far exceeds the Hawks' incomplete lineup.
Although Horford returned later, his state did not return to normal levels.
Moreover, the two teams have played against each other many times in the regular season.
Even though Stoudemire was injured and missed the game, the Knicks still completed a double play against the Pacers.
After returning from injury, Stoudemire completed the triple kill of the season.
Therefore, it is understandable that D'Antoni does not take the Pacers to heart.
At this time, D'Antoni still thought of a quick decision, and their eyes were always on the Heat.
…
The Knicks ended the first round on May 5, and they rested five days longer than the Pacers.
The Pacers ended the first round of battle on May 10, and the semifinals between the two teams will start on May 12.
In other words, they must rush to New York without stopping.
In the middle, the Pacers hardly had any time to rest and adjust.
It can also be seen that this season is different in terms of time.
But even so, it is better than the Clippers and Grizzlies in the West, at least the Pacers don't have to play back to back!
The Clippers are in trouble, and the Grizzlies don't want to throw in the towel so early.
In the two games of g5 and g6, the **** bear Randolph showed his power and teamed up with Gasol to score double 20+ points.
The score was equalized in one fell swoop, which means that the game between the two teams was dragged to the seventh game.
This also represents the birth of the first back-to-back in the history of the playoffs!
This is not to say that their tiebreaker is back-to-back, but the first game of the semifinals is back-to-back for the Clippers or Grizzlies who won the first round.
[To be honest, I have recently followed up, changed sources, and have many voices for reading aloud. Both Android and Apple are available for .huanyuanapp. 】
But no matter which of these two teams advances, they have a high chance of collapsing when they encounter the Spurs who are waiting for work in the semifinals.
And that's the schedule for this year's playoffs.
The Mavericks eliminated the Los Angeles Lakers in six games and advanced to the semifinals.
Although the Mavericks won the match point before, Kobe was not willing to admit defeat easily. After returning to the home court, the Lakers showed their determination to defend the home court.
The two teams launched a defensive battle.
The growth rate of the score is extremely slow, and the key score between the two sides is still very anxious.
It was not until the last 10 seconds that the winner was really determined. Kobe finally completed the lore with a three-pointer, dragging the game into the sixth game strongly.
Even if the game dragged to Game 6, it only slowed the death of the Lakers.
In the final g6, at the American Airlines Center, the Lakers were still eliminated by the Mavericks with 102:88.
In the East, the Heat won the 76ers in five games without any suspense, and the Heat entered the semifinals.
And the ending of the Bulls is also as predicted by the media and reporters.
The Bulls who lost Rose were even more difficult to resist the Celtics, and were eventually eliminated by the Celtics in g5.
By May 11, most of the situation in the east and west had become clear.
Western Conference promotion teams: Spurs, Thunder, Mavericks, Clippers vs Grizzlies.
Eastern Conference teams: Knicks, Heat, Celtics, Pacers.
…
After the match between the Knicks and the Pacers is determined, their game is also the first two teams to start the semifinals.
Before the start of the game, league officials announced the second batch of season awards.
Rookie of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year awards.
The first to be announced is the Best Rookie Award.
There is no doubt that the new champion Kyrie Irving leads with 58 points.
This is basically no guesswork, the entire Cavaliers can let Kyrie Irving let go of the round.
If he can't get the best rookie in this way, then he can be directly sentenced to be a parallel importer.
The most important thing for most rookies to grow is room for growth and possession of the ball, and these Cavaliers have them.
Irving can also seize these opportunities, averaging 18.5 points, 3.7 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.1 steals per game in the regular season.
However, the Best Defensive Player Award has been hotly discussed, and Lian Dao is also looking forward to it.
Last season, Dwight Howard had already won three consecutive best defensive player awards, so it is unlikely that he will continue to win this year.
Currently, the most likely to get the best defensive player award is Thunder power forward Sergey Yinbaka.
Sergey Yinbaka didn't score much, but his defense raised the Thunder's interior to a higher level.
Especially in the regular season, he averaged 3.7 blocks per game and won the block leader this season.
If Durant is the core of the Thunder's offense, then Yin Baka is the core of the Thunder's defense.
In addition to Yin Baka, Tyson Chandler of the Kings and Howard, who has won three consecutive best defensive players before, are also the biggest contenders for this award.
In history, Tyson Chandler is the best defensive player this season, but this time his voice is not so high.
This also has a lot to do with the Kings' record.
But in any case, in the selection of the best defensive player award, people usually favor inside players.
Throughout the history of the NBA, there are no more than six perimeter players who can get the best defensive player.
Since entering the 21st century, only Artest has won the best defensive player among NBA perimeter players.
Unless a perimeter player is extremely good defensively, it is impossible to compete with a big man for this honor.
Even defenders as strong as Kobe, James, Scottie Pippen, Dennis Johnson, Joe Dumars, etc., have not tasted the taste of the best defensive player.
It would be a lie to say that Lian Dao is not eager for this award.
Although the selection of this award is sometimes controversial, it is undoubtedly the greatest affirmation of the player's defensive strength.
Especially, if the outside players get it, it will be more meaningful.
Lian Dao was doing simple shooting training in the training hall, when he suddenly saw Donnie Walsh rushing over.
"Sickle didn't answer your phone calls, I knew you must be in the training hall!"
As he spoke, Donnie wiped his sweat.
"What's the matter, Donnie, you're in your seventies, why are you still frizzy, what's the matter, you're in such a hurry?"
Lian Dao threw the basketball in his hand, calmly took the towel handed over by the staff, and slowly wiped off the sweat that didn't exist.
"Don't you know? Oh, hell, I forgot to tell you, you must have been in the training hall all morning!"
Donnie helped his forehead helplessly, he loved and hated Lian Dao's efforts.
"In the afternoon, the team will hold a press conference for you."
Downey said straight to the point.
"Press conference, season interview, can it be postponed?"
Lian Dao frowned.
There will be pre-match interviews before the games of the two teams, especially for the star players, what Lian Dao hates most is trying his best to deal with this group of reporters.
"Push it off? Are you sure!"
Downey said in surprise, but a smile leaked from the corner of his mouth, but Lian Dao didn't see it.
"Of course, you know, I hate dealing with their twisted pre-game hype!"
Lian Dao was a little happy.
We must know that Downey was not so easy to talk about in the past, this time it seems that this interview should not be very important.
"Okay~www.novelbuddy.com~ Then I'll tell them, don't prepare for your best defensive player award press conference!"
Downey smiled and said slowly.
"Okay... wait, you said the best defensive player award?"
Lian Dao's eyes widened, his face full of surprise, thinking he had heard wrong, so he immediately asked again.
Best Defensive Player? I won an award myself! ?
"Hahaha, of course, you won the best defensive player award, surprise! sickle!"
Downey suddenly burst out laughing.
Now he finally took revenge for what Lian Dao arranged for him just now.
happy!
Compared to before, Lian Dao always looked like a young man with a sure chance of winning.
But Downey felt that this kind of surprise, which he had never seen in the market, was more in line with his age and cuter.
Ever since Downey learned that Lian Dao didn't know that he won the Best Defensive Player Award, he knew that Lian Dao would be surprised.
Because when he was notified by the alliance last night, he was also a little dazed and surprised.
