For the 16 teams that qualified from the East and West, they are now given a small break to prepare for the playoffs.

The playoff matchups on both sides are as follows:

Here in the West, the Mavericks beat the Nuggets, the Spurs beat the Hornets, the Rockets beat the Suns, and the Lakers beat the Thunder.

The Bulls vs. the Hawks, the Magic vs. the Knicks, the 76ers vs. the Pacers, and the Heat vs. the Celtics.

As for the other teams, their mission for the year has been accomplished and they can now go back fishing.

The playoff matchups are out, and for those who qualify for the playoffs, their hard work this season has paid off, but now they still have to fight for the championship!

In fact, it's good to think of the playoffs as a playthrough game, you have to win 16 times through four levels, and then you only have 4 lives to use in each level, and if you lose, you go home.

To be honest, after the playoffs changed from three wins in five games to four wins in seven games, it did ensure the appreciability and fairness to the greatest extent, and at the same time greatly increased the difficulty of getting out of the dark horse.

Han Miao and Hayward are both playing in the playoffs for the first time, and unlike the one-game game in Crazy March, this seven-game playoff model is also a test for them.

But fortunately, their opponent, the Pacers, is not a strong team, and the Pacers may have been one of the best in the East before the Auburn Hills incident, but now they ...... Let's wait until George evolves.

At the end of the regular season and the end of the playoffs, everyone is most concerned about the regular season awards!

I've been working hard for almost a year, so I have to give some year-end bonuses!

This year's regular season awards are much more competitive than in history.

First of all, MVP, Rose's call is very high, because the Bulls are first in the East and second in the league, and Rose has single-handedly overturned the Big Three of the Heat twice this year, and staged a good show of three British games against Lu Bu, which made him score a lot of impression points.

Then, Yao Ming, whose fate was changed by Han Miao, hit 27.2 points + 10.8 rebounds + 2.7 blocks this season, which can only be played by the "four major centers", and suddenly became the first center in the league, and relied on his own strength to lead the Rockets to persist in the giants of the West, and successfully attracted Billups to join, helping the Rockets finally win the third place in the West.

This fighting ability is enough for Yao Ming to also participate in the MVP competition, thanks to the fact that the MVP is not voted for by the fans like the All-Star Game, otherwise Yao Ming will definitely be able to get it this year.

Of course, Kobe Bryant and James are also on the list, James won the MVP in the first two years, and if he can win it this year, then he can tie Larry Bird's honor of three consecutive regular season MVPs!

"James is impossible."

Regarding the MVP speculation, Han Miao has his own opinion, James can't escape the result of being poked in the back because of last summer's decision 1 incident, how can the MVP of more than a year be given to him?

If James doesn't play, Duncan can't either, after all, although the Spurs have played well this year, Duncan's data is not very dazzling.

Magic's Howard is also qualified to compete, his data is good, but Howard looks bad, he is also black, Kobe Duncan Rose is a handsome guy, but Howard's appearance is ...... This appearance makes it difficult to treat him as an idol!

In this way, in fact, Han Miao feels that this year's MVP should still be Ross's if nothing else, the youngest MVP in history, Stern, the old guy, must also want to support the newcomer.

is slightly worse than MVP, is the best defensive player, this award, this year's Howard, Yao Ming, Duncan, may win, but if you look at the data, Yao Ming's focus this year is still on offense, and his data on the defensive end is not as good as Howard's.

It can only be said that this guy Howard is ready to monopolize the title of best defensive player again.

As for the best coach, Han Miao feels that it is either a Maverick or a bull, this problem should not be big, although his own coach Stevens is not bad, but after all, this is also his first year, and the best coach will not be given to him.

And the "best rookie" ...... There is basically no suspense about this, he can become the boss of the team in the first year of his rookie, and he also played 20+5+10 data, Han Miao feels that the possibility of winning this award is infinitely close to 100%!

As for the other awards, Han Miao didn't care too much, anyway, it didn't have much to do with him, what's the use of thinking so much?

A few days later, before the playoffs begin, the regular season awards are announced sequentially.

In the end, the MVP is still Rose's, the youngest MVP league in history, the second vote is Yao Ming, the third is Kobe, and the fourth is James.

And with this MVP, Rose was also established by the Bulls as the hope of dynasty revival, and Bulls fans felt that as long as Rose was there, it seemed that it was a matter of time before the glory of the Jordan era was restored.

The Bulls have had a great harvest this year, and in addition to the MVP, the Best Coach award is also for the Bulls!

That's right, the Bulls' Thibodeau, the guy who was sprayed to death in later generations, defeated Popovich, Carlisle, Brooks, Big Van Gundy and other strong opponents this season, and won the Bulls a trophy of the best coach again.

The best defensive player is Howard, and this year Howard's hat as the "No. 1 center" has finally been taken off his head.

To be honest, in fact, Howard has never been able to beat Yao Ming, and he really can't be said to be the first center, but Yao Ming was often injured before, so Howard can have an advantage in the selection.

If they really fight in a healthy state, hehe, Yao Ming is a man who eats, sleeps, and fights Warcraft!

But because Howard is really good in rebounding and blocking, he won the best defensive player in the end, after all, Howard is currently one of the few centers in the United States who can play one-on-one with Yao Ming.

This can't be helped, after all, Yao Ming's characteristic is offense, as a center can average 27+ per game, this is really impossible to do without a little offensive ability, one-on-one against Yao Ming, after O'Neill is old, no one in the center can do it.

Therefore, Howard's squad this year is definitely gone, and if Yao Ming is not given the center position this year, the media and fans in the United States alone are estimated to be able to spray NBA staff to death.

The best rookie had a little accident, and everyone originally thought it was Han Miao's, but this time, the best rookie was not just Han Miao! And one more person who is also the best rookie!

Yes, Han Miao and Griffin shared the best rookies of the season, as the only two "20+10" rookies, although the Clippers have a bad record, but Griffin's ornamental style of play has also won him a lot of praise, so it is actually normal for the best rookie to let Griffin also participate.

Of course, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the league can be said to have sent a best rookie to Griffin, after all, the Clippers lost to the 76ers in both meetings.

But Han Miao doesn't care, he just needs to know that he has the honor of being the best rookie.

For the first time, a Chinese player won the NBA Best Rookie, this kind of award that can only be won once in a lifetime, Han Miao did not miss it after all!
