On the 24th, the NBA played 4 more playoff matchups, including except for the Heat's easy 99-88 victory over the Charlotte Bobcats, and the Thunder's 100-86 victory over the Grizzlies at their home court, the other two games were won by the lower-ranked teams in the lower rankings, including the Nets, who ranked sixth in the East, defeated the Raptors 94-87, and the Warriors, who ranked sixth in the West, defeated the Clippers 109-105.

So far, the first game of the first round of this year's playoffs has been played. The teams will have a one-day break as they have a regular season award ceremony on the 25th, which was held at Madison Garden in New York, but most importantly, almost all of the winning players don't have to go to the venue to receive their awards, after all, the vast majority of players are still preparing for the next playoffs. The trophy is generally waited until when the winner plays at home, and the official sends someone to award them with the award.

However, there are some exceptions, and some winners who did not make the playoffs still come to Madison Garden to cheer on the court. The first thing to be announced is the rookie best team, generally no matter what the NBA does, the rookies will be asked to warm up, and then the big stars will be left behind, the same is true for All-Stars, and the same is true for awards.

The best rookie team is voted by a coach from each of the 30 teams specified by the league, and the votes of the first team are counted as two points, and the votes of the second team are counted as one point, regardless of position, according to the score from high to low, the top five are the rookie team, and the sixth to tenth team is the second team. Ye Xuan only registered in the NBA in February, so although he was also a member of the rookie, he did not reach enough appearances to win this award, and the award for the best rookie was also missed by Ye Xuan.

As a result, Trey Burke, Michael Carter Williams, Tim Hardaway II, Victor Oladipo and Mason Plumlee earned a burst of the All-Rookie Team. Steven Adams, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Gorgui Guiang, Kelly Olynyk and Cody Zeller are in the second team.

After that, the NBA's first-hand, second-team, and third-team teams were announced. On the defensive line, James Harden and Chris Paul were drafted, while in the frontcourt, LeBron James and Kevin Durant, two of the league's top small forwards. As for the center position, it was given to Joakim Noah of the Bulls.

After that, it's the turn of the individual awards. The first is these data-based awards that don't require voting. In the 13-14 season, the scoring champion was Kevin Durant, who averaged 32 points per game; The rebounding champion belongs to DeAndre Jordan, who averages 13.6 rebounds per game. The assist king and steal king are both Chris Paul, who can contribute 10.7 assists and 2.5 steals per game, and the block king is Anthony Davis, who averages 2.8 blocks per game.

Then some other data champions were announced, such as the highest shooting rate per game is DeAndre Jordan's average of 67.6% per game, and the highest free throw shooting rate is Jose Calderon's 91.7%, in fact, Ye Xuan's free throw shooting rate is the highest, 96 free throws 95, but unfortunately he did not meet the requirement of at least 100 free throws per season, so his data was not counted, but the three-point shooting rate, Ye Xuan is definitely in the lead, And he averaged at least 4.3 three-point shots per game, which is also the first in the league.

The Most Improved Player went to Goran Dragic, the Sixth Man of the Year went to Jamal Crawford, and the Rookie of the Year went to Michael Carter Williams, who was at the top of his debut. Season awards such as regular season MVP, best coach and best defensive player won't be announced until the first round of the playoffs is over.

Eventually, it was the turn of the best defensive team. In this award, the Pacers made two lists, with Paul George being named to the All-Defensive Team along with Serge Ibaka, Andre Iguodala, Joakim Noah and Chris Paul. Roy Hibbert, on the other hand, was selected to the All-Defensive Second Team along with Patrick Beverley, Jimmy Butler, LeBron James, and Kawhi Leonard.

In fact, in terms of defense alone, Lance Stephenson and Ye Xuan's contributions are not small, but Pickled Pepper's average of 1.9 steals and 4.2 rebounds per game and Hibbert's average of 2.2 blocks per game add a lot of points to them. And Ye Xuan still did not enter the statistics because of the lack of appearances.

After the awards were handed out, the Pacers also celebrated Pepper and Hibbert a little. On the 26th, the Pacers once again faced the challenge of the Hawks at home. This time, although the Hawks played a lot better overall than the previous game, they even led the Pacers by six points at 49:43 at the end of the first half.

This also made Coach Frank furious at halftime, and at the start of the second half, the shameful and courageous Pacers will sweep away the slump of the first half. Ye Xuan shot 2 of 6 in the first half, and the shooting rate could be regarded as very low, so at the beginning of the second half, Ye Xuan stood up and proved that he only took a nap in the first half.

After receiving the ball and coming to the frontcourt, he immediately used West's cover to hit a three-pointer, and then took advantage of the opponent's offensive shooting to score a quick counterattack to score a chasing three-pointer. Directly erased the 6-point difference in less than 20 seconds of play.

Although the Eagles felt good in this game, and the tactics were also very successful, Ye Xuan, who broke out of his own small universe, seemed unstoppable, and the opposite Korver had just hit a three-point shot in the bottom corner, and Ye Xuan immediately shot a super long three-point shot at the top of the arc. Then Teague broke through and scored two points after blocking and dismantling, and Ye Xuan responded with a throw after the breakthrough.

In the third quarter of the game, with Ye Xuan's excellent play, the Pacers easily equalized the 6-point difference and also surpassed 8 points into the fourth quarter. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Ye Xuan temporarily rested off the court because he played the third quarter, and on the court, a substitute was playing led by Pickled Pepper.

And after entering the playoffs, Pickled Pepper seems to have opened a serious mode, tough defense, sharp breakthroughs, accurate shooting, leading several substitutes to face the enemy's main force, not only did not fall into the disadvantage, but also pulled the score bigger and bigger, until Ye Xuan came on the court to replace Pickled Pepper, the Pacers had a 13-point lead.

After Ye Xuan and Hibbert were replaced, they naturally would not give up the victory that was already within reach, although the opponent replaced Antich with Lu Wei and put on a small offensive lineup, but Hibbert's follow-up defense was still very in place, and the defense of Mishen was very uncomfortable.
