Chapter 328 [Playoffs Matchup Situation and Personal Honors]

The Bobcats' first playoff opponent is the Philadelphia 76ers.

The 76ers relied heavily on Andre Iguodala and Elton Brand. Iguodala is good both offensively and defensively, but only at the level of Gerard Wallace. Brand was swept 4-0 by the Rockets even if he was at the peak of his form, and now he is not as good as before, and it is difficult to make any waves when he meets Hayes.

The Bobcats have only one goal in the first round, and that is to sweep!

The Eagles' opponent is the Miami Heat. The Heat team is very weak inside, how to defend Yao Ming is the primary problem they have to solve, and if they want to win the upset, it still depends on the cooperation of Wade and Rose on the outside.

Cavaliers vs. Bucks, the suspense lies in the play of Australian champion Andrew Bogut, according to Hayes's previous development, this brother should have been reimbursed for a serious injury in the season, but now he is very healthy, and he also played the best season of his career, playing 74 games, averaging 14.7 points, 10.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.4 blocks per game, such data is not an exaggeration to be selected as an All-Star.

Finally, the old enemy Magic vs Celtics, the Celtics were swept out by the Magic last season. There haven't been many changes to the rosters on either side this season, and it's impossible for the Celtics to limit Howard on the inside with Perkins, who is very slow-moving. Whether he can win or not depends on Jamison's performance.

The Western Lakers first [***] vs. Mavericks. After last season's roster adjustments, the Mavericks not only did not strengthen their strength, but almost couldn't even make the playoffs. The Lakers are like Zhongtian, and it is difficult for the Mavericks to stage the Black Eight Miracle.

The Trail Blazers vs. Hornets is one of the most unpredictable series. Both sides have excellent stars, mainly using blocking tactics, and the pace of attack and defense is also very fast. The Trail Blazers have the upper lineup. Mayo, Roy, Outlaw, Aldridge, and Pulzbilla are all very strong, and there are several good players on the bench, while the Hornets are very poor on the bench. Among the starters, Tyson Chandler and Peja Stojakovic have been in great decline, doing undercover work with superstar salaries...... The Trail Blazers' downside is that they have too many young players and a lack of playoff experience, which is where the Hornets have the advantage.

The Spurs vs Rockets are also unpredictable, with the two sides going 2-2 in the regular season, and the Rockets are not afraid of the Spurs. The main highlights are Tim Duncan vs Greg Oden, Tony Parker vs Jerry Bayless, and the old and new matchups. It also depends on whether Kurt Thomas can successfully limit David Lee, and Battier will be caught off guard by Ginobili. The strength of the two sides is very close.

Finally, the Timberwolves vs the Nuggets. The Nuggets' internal contradictions have made the team have to be compromised, and the Timberwolves' players have all recovered to their health and entered the playoffs with the best team, and experts unanimously predict that the Timberwolves will win, and the defending champions will not be able to go out in the first round this time.

The Bobcats had two days off to prepare for the playoffs. While the 13 players who signed up for the playoffs were resting, Anthony Morrow and George Hill went to the gym to start their practice. Although it is a foregone conclusion that they will not play this season, they still want to impress the coaching staff with their performances. Not this season, but next season when I can play more. Anyway, the contract has been signed for 4 years, and I can't leave if I want to. The biggest fear of the players is not that there is no money to make, but that there are no games to play.

Hayes spent two days at home with Gao Tongxuan and the child, and was quiet.

On this day, the nanny Aunt Song (who changed her name at home after several people got acquainted) was a little embarrassed to ask Hayes for an autograph. She doesn't know about sports, but her son loves it, and there's no one in Charlotte who doesn't know Hayes, who is a superhero in the minds of his students.

Hayes gave her an autographed basketball, which was expected to keep her son happy for days.

Originally, Aunt Song's son objected to his mother going out to be a nanny, and the family was not without money, so it was a bit embarrassing to go out to serve others. But when he learned that his mother was a nanny for the Hayes family, it became the capital he bragged about to his classmates in high school. Although his mother was not a celebrity, it was great to know a celebrity like Hayes.

The kid got better at school, and many people wanted to know what Hayes was like at home. Hayes lived a very ordinary life, eating, chatting, watching TV, and surfing the Internet. But when these things get out, they can keep students talking about it for days. As long as you are a celebrity, you feel that going to the toilet is different from ordinary people...... The NBA awards several awards each season, including the most notable regular season MVP and Team of the Year, as well as the best Sixth Man, Rookie of the Year, Most Improved Player, Defensive Player of the Year, Coach of the Year and Administrator of the Year.

Among them, the awards of Best Sixth Man, Best Rookie, and Most Improved are often less controversial, because they generally look at the data, and whoever has good data will be given to whom, and there is nothing to compete for. But MVP, best defender and best coach are often controversial, especially when it comes to best defensive player.

Sports magazines have published the latest results, and some of the awards have already been awarded.

Hayes glanced at it casually and put the magazine aside. Gao Tongxuan took it and looked at it, and said with a smile: "Looking at your expression, you know that you are not in the first team of the best defensive team, hehe, but the best team must have you." You don't have to worry about that, do you? ”

"I don't care, I just wonder how this thing is judged. In 2007 I was definitely not as good defensively as I am now, they chose me to be on the first team, and now I feel invincible when I defend and dismantle, and the defenders are sad for me to get inside. As a result, it became the second team. I admit that I'm poor on the inside defense, and I can't be short in height, but I'm better than Kobe Bryant on the outside, right? Hayes shook his head.

Kobe Bryant has been in the All-Defensive Team every year, and his defense depends on his attitude, and when he is stimulated or cheered up by the opponent, he often plays very hard and can play at a high level. But the Lakers have never been a team that puts defense first, and Kobe Bryant spends most of his time focusing on offense and doesn't take defense very seriously. This season, the opponent's top scorer on the outside line was first handed over to Artest, and later Butler and Ariza were defended. Kobe Bryant often plays soy sauce on the defensive end.

Hayes feels that he has been in the best defensive team n times in a row, which is similar to saying that Li Yuchun is a queen of songs, but Hayes is not a scoring guard after all, and it is useless to be better than Kobe. It's all coaches, and Hayes is skeptical of the coaches' vision.

This season, there was no joke that Camby won the All-Defensive Team for the first team. Camby arrived at the Bobcats, and Hayes had seen what his defense was like. In addition to blocking in the three-second zone, Camby's anti-blocking and dismantling is particularly poor, and he can't prevent it at all because of his slow speed, and he will faint when he reaches a high position. He also has problems with one defense and one on the inside, his physique is not strong enough, and it is a bit unbearable to meet a player with strong explosiveness.

In addition to Kobe Bryant, several other All-Defensive First Team players are Chris Paul, LeBron James, Kevin Garnett, and Dwight Howard.

The Defensive Player of the Season was won by Howard. He ranks among the top in the league in rebounds and blocks, moves very fast, and is truly a monster when helping to defend.

The All-Team Second Team is: Tim Duncan, Devin Wade, Jason Kidd, Chuck Hayes, Greg Oden.

In this list, Hayes is ranked at the small forward position.

The Most Improved Player award was won by the Pacers' Danny Granger, with Durant second. Granger's performance was too eye-catching. He averaged 25.8 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1 steal and 1.4 blocks per game. He was also selected as an All-Star with such a performance.

The best sixth man is Jason Terry of the Dallas Mavericks. Terry, known as the "Jets", is a well-known convulsioner, he has the strength to start, the Mavericks arranged for him to play off the bench in order to ensure the offensive power of the bench lineup, he played 33.8 minutes, he averaged 19.6 points, 2.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.2 steals per game, and was the second leading scorer outside of Nowitzki. In second place is Bobcats player Brook Lopez. Lopez has played most of the season as a substitute, so he is still available despite starting 23 times. His performance was also eye-catching, with 14.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.4 blocks. But it's still not as good as Terry.

The Rookie of the Year was won by Greg Oden of the Rockets. Although he was the top pick in the 2007 draft, the NBA rookie was counted from his first season of play, and Auden didn't play a game last season.

The Knicks' Kevin Love is second in second place, and his 14.3 points, 14.1 rebounds and 2.2 assists are more beautiful than Oden, which can be described as terrifying. But the Knicks' record is terrible, and Oden's defense is impressive, so people are more inclined to Oden to be the best rookie. It also makes up for the regret of the "Great" missing a season.

The All-Rookie Team Brook Lopez was unfortunately omitted, with five being Derrick Rose, O.J. Mayo, Michael Beasley, Kevin Love, and Greg Oden.

The Sportsmanship of the Season award went to Chauncey Billups of the Bobcats.

Timberwolves veteran Deacbe Mutombo today received the 2008/09 J. Walter Kennedy Citizen Award from the Professional Basketball Journalists Association for a player, coach or league official who has made outstanding contributions to society.

Individual awards. Scoring leader: Devin Wade 30.2 points.

Rebounding leader: Kevin Love, 14.1 per game.

King of blocks: Dwight Howard, 2.9.

The assist leader is Hornets Chris Paul with 11.6.

The steal king is Chris Paul of the Hornets with 2.8.

Hayes's stats, despite his impressive stats, still failed to earn the title of "King" in individual honors.

After the first round of the playoffs, the best coach will be chosen, the best team will receive important awards, and finally the league MVP.

Speaking of the best coach, D'Antoni is quite excited, this season Bobcats with a super record, D'Antoni is very hopeful to win the title of best coach for the second time. Jazz head coach Sloan has yet to be the best coach in the near future, and D'Antoni is only about to win two times in just a few years, and he has already begun to fantasize about being in the NBA Hall of Fame. At the same time, he is also grateful to his good partner Jeff Van Gundy, who originally wanted to hire Van Gundy as head coach. It was Van Gundy who gave him the position. Van Gundy has a championship ring, D'Antoni still has nothing, and now he thinks it's time to lead the team to win the NBA's biggest championship.
