Chapter 251: Best Team Awards and Opponents in the Second Round

In the fourth series, Anthony finally broke out in the small universe and broke up Leonard, who was opposite him, and scored 43 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists in the whole game, but unfortunately it was too late.

His 43 points didn't save the team from being swept.

The Knicks Big Three fell in the first round for the second year in a row, which also made many melon-eating people who were amazed by the standard combination of the Big Three realize that the power of the Big Three does not seem to be as great as imagined.

Anthony, Stoudemire, Delon, these three players were all powerful players in one side before, the top stars in the league, but after they were partnered, it seemed to be the same thing.

If you think about it, didn't the Heat's Big Three also fall in the Eastern Conference Finals last season? There is also the earliest Celtic Big Three, which has been formed for more than 5 years since 07, and it has only won a championship.

Such a record can't help but make people think, is the big three really viable? In order to gather three superstars with top salaries, the team will have to free up a lot of salary space, which will inevitably lead to a decline in the quality of the team's role players.

In the series between the Knicks and the Wizards, the bench will score nearly 20 points less per game than the opponent on average, and the huge bench point difference is also a direct factor that there is no suspense in the game.

In any case, two consecutive years of first-round dismal results are enough to make Knicks management think deeply about this issue......

The first-round sweep of the Knicks gave the Wizards a long break because on the other side of the East, the Nets, who are fourth, and the Celtics, who are fifth, are still in a fierce battle.

The Nets led by Jeremy Lin are now also very strong, especially Jeremy Lin and Brooke. López's blocking and dismantling are a big killer.

But after all, he is facing the Celtics, and the configuration of the Big Three Galando is also at the top level in the entire league, especially the Big Three, these old guys played one by one in the regular season, and only showed their edge in the playoffs.

So far, the big score between the two sides has come to 2:3, and Jeremy Lin's Nets are on the verge of elimination.

In the fifth battle of life and death, Jeremy Lin completely broke out, frequently holding the ball and hitting the basket, breaking Rondo into a sieve, and cutting a triple-double of 27 points, 10 rebounds, 13 assists and 4 steals, almost single-handedly won the fifth game, and the score board was 2:3.

Although it seems that the Nets are very sad to pass the Celtics, Jeremy Lin's play still shocked the entire league, although Jeremy Lin has only been in the league for two years, but his performance can already be called the league's top point guard.

Coincidentally, at this time, the league's best team selection was also announced.

Jeremy Lin was named to the All-League First Team three times and the All-Defensive Team first.

When Wang Xiao knew the news, he pouted.

Curry was selected as the best point guard in the first team, while the best point guard in the second team was selected by Clippers player Chris Brown. Paul took it.

Jeremy Lin averaged 18 points, 5.6 rebounds, 11.8 assists, and 2.1 steals per game this season, which is more beautiful than Paul's average of 19.8 points, 9.1 assists and 2.5 steals per game, and looking at the team's record, Jeremy Lin's Nets regular season 40-26 is the same as Paul's Clippers record.

With the same team record, Jeremy Lin, who has better stats, should be better than Paul, not to mention that Jeremy Lin also has the honor of being the best defensive team for a while.

But in the voting for the best team, he lost to Paul and was relegated to three teams, which only shows that the voting media still favors the dark-skinned Paul over the yellow-skinned Jeremy Lin.

Wang Xiao didn't bother to complain about this situation, after all, he is now focusing on the preparation for the playoffs, rather than fighting with media reporters.

By the way, the members of the three best teams.

The best team is guards Curry and Kobe, forward James and Durant, and center Howard.

The second team is defender Paul Wade, forward Griffin, Love, center Bynum.

The third team is defender Rondo, Tony. Parker, forward Anthony, Nowitzki, center Tyson. Chandler.

As Wang Xiao guessed, George was not selected to the best team, in fact, if George mainly played the scoring guard position on the court, he could squeeze out Parker to be selected to the third team with his average data per game, but he has always played the forward position in the Wizards, and even appeared in the power forward position most of the season, which also made him included in the list of forwards when he was voted for.

But George wasn't for nothing, at least he was named to the All-Defensive Second Team, and he was selected to the Second Team alongside Leonard.

One All-Defensive First Team, two All-Defensive Second Team, that's all the individual accolades for the Wizards' players this season.

Of course, the league's biggest prize, the regular season MVP, has yet to be announced.

In addition to the regular season MVP, other awards have also been announced.

The best defensive player was awarded to the Mavericks' champion Tyson. Chandler was picked and the best sixth man went to the 76ers' Luis. Williams, as for the Most Improved Player award, went to James, who was supposed to lift the Sixth Man of the Year trophy this season. Harden.

After going to the Kings, Harden's talent immediately made his statistics rise like a rocket, averaging 27 points and 8.5 assists per game in the regular season, which is very gorgeous and beautiful.

Unfortunately, the Kings, led by him and Cousins, failed to make the playoffs, winning only 31 games all season, ranking 11th in the West.

There is no way, there are many giants in the West, and the Mavericks, who won the championship last season, are only ranked seventh in the West this season and can enter the playoffs, not to mention a perennial king who is at the bottom of the league?

……

The playoffs continue to be in full swing, and the sixth game between the Nets and the Celtics, although Jeremy Lin struggled to resist, it was still difficult to stop the team's losing trend, compared to the Celtics, Jeremy Lin had too few helpers around him.

The aggregate score between the two sides was fixed at 4:2, and the Celtics successfully advanced to the second round.

Despite this, there was not much joy on the faces of the Celtics players after the victory.

The reason is simple, they are about to face the Wizards like the Great Demon King in the second round.

This is the third consecutive year that the Celtics have faced the Wizards in the playoffs.

In 10 years, Curry, the main core of the Wizards, was injured, and the Celtics defeated the Wizards in the Eastern Conference finals without blood, but only a year later, the Wizards made a comeback and eliminated the Celtics in the second round.

This is the third year of the professors of both sides, the Big Three are a year older than last season, and there are fewer helpers around them, and although the Wizards' lineup has also made a lot of adjustments, the sharpness of the regular season has not diminished at all.

Everyone from the Celtics players to the head coach agreed that it was going to be an extremely difficult series.
