The first big three to arrive on the Knicks' side, Amare . Stoudemire is almost on the verge of fading out of the main position, and frequent injuries have caused his competitive form to form a cliff-like decline, and this season he averaged only 22 minutes per game in the regular season, averaging only 12 points and 4.9 rebounds per game, completely no longer the style of the little bully.

Another giant Delong. Williams is also gradually starting to show signs of decline, with his stats dropping from 19+7.7 per game last season to 14.3+6, which also caused him to miss this season's All-Star weekend.

The only one who can still maintain a high level of competitive form is Cameron. Anthony too.

Such a Knicks, even if they get Jordan Jr. through a trade, have no capital to compete with the Wizards at all.

In another crisp 4-0, the Wizards easily completed another sweep of the Knicks, continuing the glorious tradition of sweeping the Knicks in the playoffs for many years.

Stoudemire and Deron performed very poorly throughout the series, and the only scoring point, Anthony, under the dual care of Leonard and Green, shot less than 40% from the field, and his average points per game could only be more than 20 points, compared to the average of 27.6 points per game in the regular season, and the 45% shooting rate dropped a lot.

Leonard, who is opposite him, averaged 25 points and 6 rebounds per game in four games, and his score was even higher than Curry's.

Of course, this is also achieved under the condition that Wang Xiao can instruct.

After defeating the Knicks, the Wizards are likely to meet the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference finals, and it is necessary to let Leonard build more confidence in advance, after all, when he faced James in the past, he only needed to focus all his energy on limiting James's play, but this time, he also needed to share the pressure of the Wizards' offense while defending.

This is definitely a challenge for Leonard, after all, he is facing LeBron, the strongest man at the small forward position. James.

Although James's defensive ability is not top-notch, it can definitely be called first-class, excellent physical fitness and good basketball IQ make it able to defend against most opponents on the defensive end, people can often see James' iconic pegboard hat in the game, and the six-time selection of the All-Defensive Team in his career is also an affirmation of James' defensive ability.

It is unclear whether Leonard will be as effective against James as he is against other opponents, so he can only have all the preparations in place before the two meet.

……

The Wizards, who swept the opponent 4-0 again, are still the first team to emerge from the second round, and the division semifinals are no longer as big as the first round.

On the Eastern side, in addition to the Wizards vs. the Knicks, the other team is the Cavaliers vs. the Nets, and although the Nets led by Jeremy Lin are at the bottom of the Cavaliers' encounter, they are not without resistance.

Jeremy Lin, in particular, had the absolute upper hand in Irving's matchup, and comprehensively suppressed the opponent on both offensive and defensive ends.

However, there is still an indelible gap between the Nets' lineup and the Cavaliers, which also makes the score of the two teams 3:1 after four games.

In the West, the two matchups in the division finals are the Trail Blazers vs. Grizzlies and the Spurs vs. Clippers.

In the first round, the Grizzlies faced the Kings led by Harden and the Clippers faced the Thunder, and both teams defeated their respective opponents to advance to the second round.

The current score of the game between the Trail Blazers and the Grizzlies is also 3:1, with the Trail Blazers holding the match point, while the game between the Spurs and the Clippers is currently tied at 2:2.

The strength of the Spurs and the Clippers can be regarded as the closest among the teams in the division finals.

Because of Wang Xiao, the Spurs did not have Leonard, and also because of Wang Xiao, the Clippers did not have Jordan Jr.

But apparently Jordan Jr.'s role for the Clippers is not as important as Leonard's for the Spurs, which makes the Spurs still entangled with the Clippers despite successfully attracting Bosh in the summer.

Paul, the core of the Clippers, can be regarded as a small universe explosion, averaging 22.5 points, 11.8 assists and 2.5 steals per game in four games.

He has been playing in the NBA as a professional for nearly 9 years, but he has not even participated in a single Western Conference final, which is definitely a big stain on his career.

Wang Xiao estimates that with Paul's super play, the Clippers should be able to play seven games with Ma, as for who will become the final winner, he is not easy to judge, after all, because of the butterfly effect, the lineups of the two teams have changed a lot compared with another time and space.

However, no matter who wins between the two teams, it may be difficult to win against the Trail Blazers.

……

While the second round of the competition is in full swing, the major awards of the league are also clear with the announcement of the voting results.

The first team to be announced, the All-Defensive Team and the All-Rookie Team were announced.

George's season reimbursement made him absent from the All-NBA selection, but the Wizards still had three players named to the All-NBA team.

They are Curry, who was selected to the first team, and Thompson and Leonard, who were selected to the third team.

This is reasonable, after all, the Wizards won a horrific 73 wins in the regular season, and every player on the team played their best and level.

Thompson averaged 21.5 points per game this season, and Leonard worked hard in the second half of the season, and his average points per game also rose to 19.8 points at the end of the season, just 0.2 points short of breaking the 20-point mark.

The results of the Best Team selection are as follows.

Team of the Match: Defender Stephen. Curry, James. Harden, forward LeBron. James, Kevin. Durant, center Dwight. Howard.

Best Second Team: Defenders Jeremy Lin, Chris. Paul, forward Cameron. Anthony, Blake. Griffin, center Joaquin. Noah.

Best three: Defender Russell. Westbrook, Clay. Thompson, forward Kawhi Cowai. Leonard, LaMarcus. Aldridge, center Alder. Jefferson.

Similar to last season, the Wizards won more All-Defensive Team honors than the All-Defensive Team.

Last season, the Wizards had three players named to the All-Defensive Team: George, Leonard and Thompson.

And this season, the Wizards have as many as four players named to the All-Defensive Team!

Leonard was selected to the All-Defensive First Team, and Thompson, Green and Gobert were all selected to the All-Defensive First Team!

Four players from a team are named to the All-Defensive Team, which is an unprecedented feat and speaks volumes about the horror of the Wizards!
