With the end of the series, the series of news heats caused by the Lakers and Rockets has also come to an end. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The Rockets went fishing, no one talked about the team anymore, and the Lakers, as the victors, were stuck in a long wait for the birth of a Western Conference semifinal opponent.

Because it was a 4-0 sweep, the Lakers had a very good rest. This situation is very good for the Lakers, and the players can get enough rest to relieve the fatigue of a long season.

Of course, Chu Xuan will not let the players relax completely, he still requires a daily practice, but the content of the training is very small. The main reason for this is to allow the players to maintain their competitive condition while resting and relaxing. That way, you won't be out of shape when you face your next opponent.

Although the task of the coaching staff is still very heavy, Chu Xuan is still much easier than during the game, which gives him more time to spend with his girlfriend Adeline, and the relationship between the two is also more intimate.

The day after the Lakers and Rockets series, another matchup came to fruition, with the Raptors sweeping the Pacers 4-0 to advance to the Eastern Conference semifinals, where it would face the winner between the Cavaliers and the Bucks.

Although the Pacers lost to the Raptors, Paul George's status as a first-line star in the league is completely established, in the face of Lowry, DeRozan and Guy composed of the Raptors version of the Big Three, George is like a god of war, both offensive and defensive ends are extremely good, staged a Lu Bu battle three brilliant, but a person's ability is destined to be limited, and the Pacers are also acceptable to be eliminated. However, general manager Larry Bird has made it clear that he will bolster the Pacers in the offseason and try to build a championship roster.

Soon, another two days passed, and then two more sets of duels were decided.

The Pistons 4:1 Bulls, the Clippers 4:1 Warriors.

Then on April 29, the Cavaliers defeated the Bucks 114-91 in Game 6 and finally successfully advanced to the Eastern Conference semifinals 4-2, against the Toronto Raptors.

After the five teams in the Eastern and Western Division semifinals were born, the first-round series entered the white-hot stage, with a total of three tie-break battles to be held, which is also relatively rare in the history of the playoffs.

The arrangements for the three tie-break battles are, one on the 30th and two on the 1st.

Among them, on the day of No. 1, the winner of the game between the Spurs and the Jazz will be the opponent of the Lakers in the second-round series, and it can be said that this ball has attracted more attention. For the Lakers, paying attention to the Spurs and Jazz's tie-break is also a matter of more attention.

On the morning of the 30th, the NBA officially held a press conference in Los Angeles to announce this year's best rookie award, and Zach LaVine, who averaged 20.1 points per game, narrowly defeated Jabari Parker to become the winner.

In fact, this award is quite controversial this season.

Because the Lakers' record is much better than that of the Knicks, this gives LaVine a huge advantage.

And if the record factor is taken aside, Parker's individual performance seems to be better than LaVine's.

"I can't accept the result, Jabari shows all the qualities of a future superstar, and he has a new look for the Knicks. Although we missed out on the playoffs, that shouldn't be a stop for Jabari from winning the title. It's hard for me to understand how a talented rising star who was selected as an All-Star in his rookie season shouldn't be the best rookie of the year. There was an uproar in New York, the media was furious, and Phil Jackson, the general manager of the Knicks, also stood up for Jabari Parker.

Speaking of which, without LaVine's existence, Parker would definitely be elected the best newcomer without any suspense. This season, Parker played in 82 games for the Knicks, averaging 19.0 points, 9.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.4 blocks per game. Among all rookies, Parker ranks first in total points and rebounds, 4th in total assists, 5th in steals and 2nd in blocks.

However, compared with Parker, Zach LaVine is not only an advantage in terms of record, but also in terms of individual performance.

This season, LaVine averaged 20.1 points per game to rank first in the rookie, and he was the only player in 14 rookies to average more than 20 points per game, and before that, only No. 4 rookies in '09, Tyrick Evans and No. 1 No. 4 Blake Griffin, played 20+ per game in their rookie season. In the NBA, averaging 20+ per game is completely a watershed moment and a manifestation of a player's potential on the offensive end.

LaVine's ability to average 20 points per game in his first season is a testament to his talent for scoring, and as ESPN predicted, LaVine has a very good chance of winning the scoring title in the future.

Obviously, as an all-round striker, Jabari Parker is completely out of this potential.

In addition to scoring, LaVine's offensive efficiency is also better than Parker's, who shot just 41.6 percent, 35.1 percent, and 83.0 percent from three. LaVine's three-point shooting percentage was 44.2 percent, 38.6 percent, and 85.0 percent.

"Zach is definitely the best player in this rookie class, and maybe Phil thinks the All-Star can measure everything, but I don't think so. Of course, if Phil had always felt that way, I think I'd let Zach get that honor as soon as possible...... Well, I'm going to congratulate my team on having another Rookie of the Year who will be in my heart with Norris. Chu Xuan responded to what the New York media complained about through the Los Angeles media.

……

On the day the best rookie award was announced, the 76ers defeated the Hawks 86-84 with Bennett's rebound, eliminated the opponent 4-3, and successfully advanced to the Eastern Conference semifinals.

In this defensive battle, Bennett's 25 points and 6 rebounds, and his performance, which turned the tide, established him as an absolute star in the 76ers.

……

Soon, the time came to the 1st, and the seven-game battle between the Spurs and the Jazz, which the Lakers were concerned about, finally arrived.

The game is at AT& The Spurs at the T Center, sitting at home, showed an overwhelming advantage at the beginning, Duncan and Leonard teamed up to inform the court, and the Jazz had no chance to fight back throughout the game, and finally the Spurs easily defeated the Jazz 112-98 and successfully met the Lakers in the Western Conference semifinals.

The 39-year-old Rockford Duncan broke the interior line composed of Favors and Gobert in this crucial game, shooting 8-of-14 from the field and scoring 25 points, 11 rebounds and 3 blocks. And Leonard, the new leader of the Spurs, dominated the outside line, making 9 of 15 and contributing 21 points, 10 boards, 5 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. Wiggins, who was opposite Leonard, was only 6-of-17 from the field, and his performance was terrible.

……

More than an hour after the game between the Spurs and the Jazz, the final set of matchups in the first round also had a result, and the Thunder eliminated the Trail Blazers 4-3 and will compete with the Clippers for a place in the Western Conference finals. (To be continued.) )
