Although Westbrook had 18 points, 7 rebounds and 14 assists, and Ellis scored a game-high 27 points, the Thunder still lost to the Lakers in the end.

Kobe Bryant scored 24 points and 8 boards, Paul scored 25 points and 9 assists, Jamison scored 22 points, and the Lakers scored 20 points to eliminate the Thunder with a score of 4-1 and take the lead in the Western Conference finals.

Durant's side, after being eliminated that night, he chose surgery, he could choose conservative treatment, but surgical treatment can eliminate the risk, Duncan's non-supporting system bone fracture in the sole of his foot that year, and chose conservative treatment, although it did not affect his performance that season, and the bones healed, but the final result led to plantar fasciitis, and his athletic ability was destroyed in just two years, which was more serious than the consequences of the previous 2000 playoffs injury.

The recovery period for surgical treatment is 6-8 months, that is, the earliest recovery will begin next season, and it is estimated that he will be out for most of the season when he counts rehabilitation and recovery training.

……

On the morning of the 18th, Sun Ce came to the team, and after a day of rest, he and his teammates were very motivated to prepare for the sixth game against the Spurs!

Although they didn't make it 4-1, they still have a home advantage, and a 4-2 promotion is just as good, and they haven't lost at home in this year's playoffs, so they have a psychological advantage, and the coaching staff and veterans have been mentioning it to boost the confidence of their teammates.

These things are mentioned unintentionally but often mentioned by the coaching staff and veterans in meetings and chats, so that other players have a subtle confidence boost.

Not impatient because the other three teams have already advanced to the division finals, this series has been played so far, every game is so intense, the idea of wanting to take out the opponent in one go at the beginning is long gone, and it is clear that the more anxious you are, the easier it is to lose, just like the Spurs did in Game 4.

Calm preparation is very important.

After the morning tactical meeting and team practice, at noon, Sun Ce and his teammates gathered in the lounge, waiting for the NBA to officially announce the two best teams.

The rookie rookie rookie rookie team was announced a few days ago, and the selection list was not satisfactory.

I can't say it's bad, it's okay, but the rookies of the class of 2012 were praised so high before the draft, they were tied with the year, but they didn't reach that height.

In the rookie team, Harris Barnes averaged 9 points and 4 boards per game, Bradley Beal averaged 14 points and 2 assists per game, Anthony Davis averaged 13 points, 8 boards, 1.2 steals and 1.8 blocks per game, Dion Waiters averaged 15 points, 4 boards and 4 assists per game, and Damir Lillard averaged 19 points and 6 assists per game.

It looks okay for a while, but it's a world different from the rookie team in 2003, and there is a superstar appearance, just Anthony Davis, and the defense is really good.

Not to mention the rookie second team, none of them averaged 10 points per game, otherwise Barnes would not have been able to enter the rookie team.

"Noah, is it possible for us to have three defenses?" Randolph has nothing to do with the All-NBA, All-Defensive Team, but he's the most positive of them all.

"Chances are, we did a really good job defending in the regular season, Tony and Mark and Paul all had a chance to be in the first line, and I should have a chance too."

Sun Ce is also looking forward to it, last season's own team's guard double-one defense, known as the strongest defensive backcourt, this season is even more in the league's scoring rise, playing a terrifying performance of less than 90 points per game.

In the small talk of having a match and not a match, by noon the official website the headlines were refreshed, and the best team and best defensive team were announced.

In the first defense, Paul, Sun Ce, James, Ibaka, Duncan, Chandler, and Noah were selected, of which Duncan and James were tied, and Noah and Chandler were tied.

In the second defense, Rondo, Tony Allen, Avery Bradley, Paul George, Josh Smith, and Marc Gasol were selected, among them, Rondo was only 3 points less than Sun Ce, and Tony Allen and Avery Bradley were tied.

For a while, Paul, Kobe, Sun Ce, James, and Duncan were selected together.

In the second team, Rose, Evans, Wade, Griffin, Durant, and Gasol Jr. were selected together, and Wade and Evans were equally voted.

In terms of the three teams, Curry, Harden, Parker, Gay, Josh Smith, and Noah were selected together, of which Parker and Curry were equally voted.

Westbrook trailed Curry and Parker by six points.

When he saw the announced list, Gasol Jr. was stunned for a moment...... But still accept the reality as usual.

"We only have one defense? Those managers are blind! How much does Tony score Biron? Randolph was spraying right then.

Although 4 people were selected for the best defensive team, only Sun Ce was selected for the first defense!

……

Every year, when the All-NBA and Defensive teams come out, there are a lot of people complaining, and there doesn't seem to be a clear pattern to the annual NBA awards voting.

At first, the NBA officials also wanted to come up with clear rules, but found that it seemed to be more likely to cause a conversation, so that's it.

Sun Ce narrowly defeated Rondo to win a defense, and he was naturally very happy for two consecutive years.

However, he was the only one in the team who was selected for the first defense.

Later, Sun Ce added Li Hunger Oh from the news, and this time the coaches' votes were different from the media.

The media felt that the best defensive player of the best defensive team should be selected as the best defensive player, and the coaches seemed to look at it differently.

Sun Ce thinks coaches may think that Gasol Jr.'s defense is a help from others, and second-year Klay Thompson has the 7th most vote for defenders, close to Avery Bradley, and equally close to Sefrosa.

Sun Ce thinks that it may be that there are too many players who have defended well in his own team this season, and they have been averaged.

Just watching his best team and best defensive team being divided into two positions, Sun Ce feels too weird, to say that he is like a small forward on the offensive end, it is true that he is a small forward or even a small forward most of the time with Nash this year...... No. 6 position play, but when the defensive lineup was selected, he was put on the back line, and his defense is even less like a defender!

However, the fact that they have four Grizzlies players named to the All-Defensive Team is scary enough.

In the second year after the Pistons won the championship, Ben Wallace's first defense, Billups and Prince's second defense were already regarded as the most terrifying defensive lineup, and their Grizzlies seemed to have made history!

However, in terms of the best team, the Lakers and Spurs are the big winners, with three players each selected.

The best team is voted for by the media, which is very consistent with the MVP voting leaderboard.

Sun Ce found that the media seemed to prefer Harden, who received more votes in MVP and All-Star than Curry.

However, the backcourt pair were selected for the best team in their first year, and Sun Ce felt a little tingling on his scalp...... This is far from their full body!
