Chapter 376: The Regular Season Awards

Although the Wizards gradually regained a little bit of form in the next few minutes, the hole dug in the first eight minutes was too big, and at the end of the first quarter, they still trailed the Pacers by as many as 19 points at 38:19. The next three quarters of the game became a tactical training session for the Pacers, and although the Wizards' performance gradually picked up, it was too late.

In this way, although because it is a playoffs, neither side replaced their main players too early, but everyone understands that the next three quarters of the game are basically garbage time. At the end of the game, the Pacers relied on their excellent performance in the first quarter to win the playoffs with 104-88. Ye Xuan played a total of 31 minutes in this game, easily sending 29 points and 11 assists, in fact, most of the data was brushed out during the tug-of-war in the back.

Since the Pacers' tactics in the first game basically revolved around Ye Xuan, the number of shots in this game was not particularly large, but the efficiency of Pickled Pepper was very good, hitting 10 of 15 shots and scoring the second highest 24 points on the team. Although the Wizards scored a double-double like Wall, the team's shooting rate of less than 40% ultimately allowed them to lose to the Pacers without the slightest suspense.

After the end of this game, basically all the first round of the playoffs are over, the East is very calm, the Hawks of the first place in the East easily defeated the Bucks 99:84, and the Bucks basically have no room to fight back at all, and the Cavaliers, the second in the East, also relied on Lao Zhan's 34 points, 11 boards and 10 assists to defeat the Celtics, although the Cavaliers only led by 6 points in the end, but the situation has always been the Cavaliers dominant.

The Bulls, who are third in the East, also won easily against the Raptors, and Gasol began to explode after entering the playoffs, in which Gasol dreamed back to 2010, scoring 24 points, 12 boards, and 5 assists. However, it is a pity that Rose did not return in this game, and there are rumors that the Windy City Rose may have been reimbursed for the season, but the Bulls are officially very optimistic about Rose's injury, and it is expected that Rose will be able to return to the court in another week.

Unlike the East, the West is simply purgatory-level difficulty, the first thing to say is the league's leader Warriors, facing the Pelicans composed of two Anthonys, the Warriors suffered a big loss in the first game, in regular time, the two teams played inseparable, the Warriors' outside firepower is very strong, but their interior line was blown up by the Pelicans, and Barnes was also blown up by the melon, so the two teams also played back and forth, and the regular time was deadlocked until the last second, It was Curry who ended the game with a super difficult three-pointer, and the Warriors narrowly won by 3 points.

Secondly, let's talk about the second Rockets in the West, the Rockets played very hard against the Mavericks in this game, not long after the game started, Howard fell into foul trouble, which caused Howard to only play 17 minutes in the end, which made the Rockets fall behind the opponent for a while, but Harden performed well today, and the Rockets' benches performed very well, especially Josh Smith and Jason Terry, which allowed the Rockets to finally win 116-108 against the Mavericks on their home court.

The top two finally defeated their opponents with difficulty, and the Trail Blazers, who were third in the West, did not have such good luck, they originally relied on the first division to squeeze into the top three in the West, facing the Grizzlies who were not much different from their strength, and the style was exceptionally tough, they naturally couldn't get the benefits, even though Aldridge still scored 32 points plus 14 rebounds in the face of the black and white bears, but his 34 shots also hurt the team, In the end, the Trail Blazers lost by a full 14 points, 86-100 on their home court.

Originally, everyone thought that the game between the Clippers and the Spurs should be the closest to the strength of the two teams, and it should also be the most intense game, but Paul's excellent performance in this game made the game enter the rest time early, Paul's 32 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists comprehensively crushed Parker, who only had 10 points, 2 boards and 1 assist, 92:107, and the Spurs were also convinced.

After the end of this game, the league took the lead in awarding a series of regular season awards, the first scoring champion is naturally Ye Xuan's did not run, Ye Xuan was able to contribute an average of 34.9 points per game in the regular season, almost reaching 35 points, and this score is also the highest in recent years, the last one higher than Ye Xuan was Kobe Bryant's 35.4 points in the 05-06 season.

In addition to the scoring champion, Ye Xuan also won the title of steal king, although the average of 2.3 steals per game is the same as Leonard, but if it is accurate to 3 decimal places, it is Ye Xuan who will win in the end, Ye Xuan won the title of steal king by virtue of 2 more steals throughout the season. The rebounding king is DeAndre Jordan of the Clippers, Jordan Jr. can contribute an average of 15 rebounds per game this season, which is the number of rebounds Ye Xuan has in a season. And the block king belongs to Anthony Davis, who can average 2.9 blocks per game this season, and is a well-deserved inside gate. In the end, the assist king naturally belongs to Paul, and Paul's assists this season still lead the league, although Ye Xuan is not far behind, but in the end Paul won.

In addition to these basic stat awards, there are also awards such as Best Rookie Award, and Andrew Wiggins of the Timberwolves has become the deserving Rookie of the Year with an average of 17 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 1.9 steals per game. The Sixth Man of the Year trophy belongs to Louis Williams, who has played very well with the Raptors this season, and the league finally awarded him this trophy. The last award is the Most Improved Player (MIP), this award was originally intended to be awarded to Ye Xuan at the beginning, because Ye Xuan's performance this season has indeed improved a lot, but in the end, I don't know why it was awarded to Jimmy Butler, but people quickly reacted, which means that this season's regular season MVP is very likely to belong to Ye Xuan, otherwise the league would not have awarded it like this.
