Chapter Seventy-Eight: The End of the First Round and the Presentation of Awards

Although the Lakers lost the first game, they still have a great advantage in the face of the Hornets, as long as they can give full play to the strength of the twin towers, it is still very simple to win.

Of course, how to fight the Hornets has nothing to do with Wang Meng, no matter how anxious he is, he can't play when he plays the Hornets.

Wang Meng had to train more because he couldn't play, after all, this was his first time playing in the NBA playoffs, and it was said that the defensive intensity of the playoffs and the regular season were two grades, and Wang Meng didn't dare to underestimate it.

Now Wang Meng has strengthened a total of three trainings, namely physical training, defensive training and three-point training, although these three trainings have been started at different times, but Wang Meng has adapted to the intensity of training, that is to say, he has almost completed the training.

These three training things are what Wang Meng is best at now.

Physical fitness, since the start of physical training, Wang Meng's physical strength has risen sharply, from the beginning can only play for more than ten minutes, and then slowly catch up with the playing time of Kobe Bryant Gasol and others, Wang Meng's physical fitness has become more and more adapted to the rhythm of the NBA, and the improvement of physical fitness has also increased some of Wang Meng's strength and speed, it can be said that Wang Meng made a very correct choice at the beginning.

Defensive training Wang Meng chose to defend against the ball carrier, although this kind of defense is not particularly outstanding, but it is very practical, whether it is shooting or breaking through can be effective defense, and Wang Meng's NBA guards who have played against Wang Meng are now very unwilling to play with Wang Meng, the reason is very simple, his defense is too entangled, although it is not impossible to get rid of, but every time it gets rid of it, it consumes considerable physical strength, which is very cost-effective.

Three-point shooting training, due to the strange setting of the training system, Wang Meng can only use ultra-long backward shooting in three-point shooting training to shoot, otherwise it will be covered, after this period of training, Wang Meng's ultra-long backward three-point shooting rate has been very high, and the shooting rate under normal circumstances is as high as 52 percent, but this trick is good to say in the training space, it hurts the body too much in reality, and every time he falls to the ground in ultra-far back, a large number of uses are very unfavorable to Wang Meng's career.

Although Wang Meng still has many shortcomings and weaknesses, in all fairness, his current level is enough to be called an all-star.

The first round of the game was quickly halfway through, and the Lakers caught up with the next two games, winning 87-78 and 100-86 respectively to win two games in a row against the Hornets, leading the Hornets 2-1.

The Spurs, the first place in the West, won the Grizzlies in the second game, but lost again immediately in the third game, 1:2 behind the Grizzlies, the situation is not optimistic, and this year's Grizzlies are very violent.

As the game progresses, the regular season awards are announced.

The regular season MVP still needs the second round to know, but it is no surprise that it will be Rose, after all, Rose single-handedly led the Bulls to lead the league, which no one can compare, and winning the MVP is also expected.

The best defensive player is still given to Howard, who has won several consecutive terms, Howard's defense is too powerful, and he has grown up to become the benchmark of a new generation of guarding the interior, as long as he guards the Magic interior, no one dares to easily rush into the interior.

The best sixth man was awarded to the Lakers' Odom, the all-round warrior Odom seems to have his second spring since playing the sixth man in the Lakers, although the data has decreased compared to the first time but the magnitude is very small, coupled with his excellent tandem ability, it is expected to win the award of the best sixth man.

The most improved player is Kevin of the Timberwolves. Lefou, many people say that this white fat man is purely brushing data, and his own strength is not so strong, but even if it is brushing data, Lefu can beat Howard to brush a rebounding king, which shows that his strength is not weak, and the average of 20+10 per game is his report card this season.

The best coach naturally goes to Bulls coach Thibodeau, and this award has always been given to the coach of the team with the best record in the league, and there is not much controversy.

Wang Meng's best rookie of the year went to the Clippers' Blake. Griffin, Griffin's season of 20+10 beat the other two favorites, Wang Meng, who averaged 18+7 per game, and Wall, who averaged 16+8 per game, won the best rookie.

This can also be regarded as revenge for Wang Meng's elimination of Griffin in the slam dunk contest.

With the announcement of the major awards, the best lineup was also announced.

Wang Meng was named to the All-Rookie Team, along with Wall, Griffin, Cousins and Fields.

Here's the list of the league's best teams: All-NBA leagues C: White. Howard (Magic)

PF: LeBron. James (Heat)

SF: Kevin. Durant (Thunder)

SG: Kobe. Bryant (Lakers)

PG: Derek. Rose (Bulls)

All-Defensive Team in the League C: White. Howard (Magic)

Pf: Kevin. Garnett (Celtic)

SF: LeBron. James (Heat)

SG: Kobe. Bryant (Lakers)

PG: Rajan. Rondo (Celtic)

All-Rookie Team of the League C: DeMarcus. Cousins (King)

PF: Blake. Griffin (Clippers)

SF: Landry. Fields (Knicks)

SG: Wang Meng (Lakers)

PG: John. Wall (Wizards)

It's funny, the five people in the league's best rookie team, except for Wang Meng, the others basically missed the playoffs, the only exception Fields, but the Knicks have been beaten by the Celtics with a big score of 3:0 and are about to roll up and go home, and Wang Meng, the only best rookie who has the only possibility to survive the first round, has not even played a playoffs.

As expected, although Paul fought back in the subsequent game and got a triple-double to lead the Hornets to win another set, the Lakers then sent the Hornets home with a very crisp two games.

The Lakers eliminated the Hornets in the first round and will next face the Mavericks, who eliminated the Trail Blazers 4-2. The Spurs, another favorite to win the championship in the West, were very cheated by the Grizzlies, and the Spurs also became the victims of being hacked again since the Warriors were black eight in 07.

The Grizzlies, who beat the Spurs in an upset, will face the Thunder, who eliminated the Nuggets 4-1, and I don't know if they can carry the Black Eight to the end.

There were some minor surprises in the west, but in the east, the situation was much more stable.

The Bulls' 4-1 elimination of the Pacers was well expected.

The Eagles' 4-2 win over the Magic was somewhat unexpected, but it also made sense.

The Celtics' 4-0 elimination of the Knicks was arguably the least suspenseful game.

The Heat also easily eliminated the 76ers 4-1.

The next matchups in the East will be Bulls vs Hawks and Celtics vs Heat.
