During the first round of the playoffs, NbA officials also announced the major awards of this season's regular season.

In order, the first award announced was the best defensive team.

Best Defensive Team 1: Chris Paul, Paul George, Kawhi Leonard, Li Kaiming, Joakin Noah.

All-Defensive Second Team: Patrick Beverley, Jimmy Butler, Andre Iguodala, LeBron James, Serge Ibaka.

The Wizards' Li Kaiming and Leonard were selected for the best defensive team, which can be said to be deserved, Li Kaiming voted unanimously for the first team, and Leonard also scored 156 points in 246 minutes.

In addition, Klay Thompson, one of the remaining Wizards' Big Three, was also favored by some judges in the voting for the best defensive team, which shows that his defense has also received media attention.

The Wizards' ability to break the Bulls' winning record this season is of course inseparable from the perverted defense, and the two players on the same team who defend for a while make the Wizards' defensive efficiency rank first in the league.

After that, the other awards were also announced.

The most improved player was acquired by Philadelphia 76ers guard Goran Dragic, who averaged 20.2 points, 3 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game this season, which is close to the All-Star level, so this award is well deserved.

The Sixth Man of the Year goes to Los Angeles Clippers backup guard Jamal Crawford, who is averaging 18.6 points, 2.3 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game this season, making him the best among the candidates.

In fact, the so-called Best Sixth Man Award is to see which candidate can score more, because generally speaking, the team's sixth man is the core of the ball of the bench lineup, to put it bluntly, the sixth man team is for you to cut points, so most of the best sixth man awards are won by the player with the highest average score per game among the candidates.

Next up was the announcement of the best team of the season.

First Team of the Year: Chris Paul, James Harden, LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Kaiming Lee.

All-NBA Second Team: Stephen Curry, Tony Parker, Blake Griffin, Kevin Love, Joakim Noah.

All-Star three: Goran Dragic, Damian Lillard, Paul George, LaMarcus Aldridge, Dwight Howard.

It is worth mentioning that Kawhi Leonard and Klay Thompson both received 1 third vote in the best team selection, although there is still a big gap between being selected for the best team, but this is also a good start.

Next up are some of the biggest individual awards.

The Rookie of the Season winner is Michael Carter Williams, a guard from the Philadelphia 76ers, who averaged 16.7 points, 6.2 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 1.9 steals per game in his rookie season.

After all, he is only an 11th pick in the first round, and last year was originally a draft year, and an 11th pick can play such a performance, and the ancestral grave of the 76ers general manager will be smoking.

As the three remaining major prizes were about to be announced, the results of the first round of the playoffs were also announced.

In addition to the Wizards' 4-0 sweep of the Hawks in the East, the Heat also swept the nursing home Nets 4-0 neatly.

The Indiana Pacers easily defeated the Charlotte Bobcats 4-1 to advance to the second round to meet the Heat.

The only more intense matchup was the Bulls in fourth place and the Raptors in fifth place, as well as the University of Memphis derby between Rose and Elliott Williams.

Originally, Li Kaiming thought that the young Raptors would be taught a hard lesson, and Williams would come over again to cheer him on after a round of tours, but what he didn't expect was that these two teams actually hit a tie-break, and the final result was that the Raptors beat the Bulls 4-3!

"I'm grass! You kid can, you actually defeated Senior Ross! On the night of the end of the game, Li Kaiming made a special call to his good brother Williams to say goodbye.

This guy scored 17 points in a single game when he grabbed seven, which was the most points scored by the Raptors off the bench and was also the hero who helped the team advance.

"Well, you don't look at who I am? Dude is a good brother of the first person in the league, and it is not casual to advance to the second round of a playoffs, with a handle in hand! ”

Although Li Kaiming couldn't see this guy's face, he could hear it from his tone that this kid must have a stinky fart on his face.

"Hey, hey, Kaiming, don't you know, Senior Rose's face was almost crooked after the game, and he said that he knew that he wouldn't train with me at the beginning......"

Li Kaiming also laughed, and then suddenly said seriously: "Don't be complacent, you kid, let's see who your opponent is in the next round?" ”

"You Wizards, what's wrong? If you don't get swept away, you win! By the way, you kid remember to do it lightly, I don't want to follow in the footsteps of Senior Ross. ”

This guy is really a bachelor, he hasn't played the game yet, and he has already raised the white flag on behalf of the Raptors, if DeRozan knew it, his nose would have to be crooked!

"Hey! You guy, you are so ruthless to Senior Rose, you don't know how to respect the old and love the young, you know how to intercede when it's your turn? It's late! I'm going to avenge Senior Ross this time! Just wait! ”

"Holy! No, I'm your best brother, can you do it? Williams on the other side wanted to cry without tears.

Li Kaiming forced a smile, "Why can't you do it?" It is precisely because you are the best brother that I want you to take the most difficult path, so that you can improve faster in the future, isn't it......"

"Can I say I don't want this progress?"

"Sorry, you don't have the right to refuse......"

The eastern side ended quickly because the gap between the top teams and the strength of the back team was too large, and the western side was really hellish difficulty, except for the series of the Trail Blazers and Rockets, the remaining three groups of matchups all hit the tiebreaker.

And the series between the Rockets and the Trail Blazers is also very legendary, Lillard, an older rookie who has just entered the league for two years, in the sixth game of the series, Chandler Parsons scored a layup to help the Rockets lead by two points, and there were only 0.9 seconds left in the game, and everyone thought that the Rockets dragged the series into a tiebreaker.

But Lillard received the ball outside the three-point line, hit a three-point shot from a long distance, and directly killed the Rockets!

The Los Angeles Clippers beat the young Golden State Warriors 4-3, the Thunder beat the Memphis Grizzlies who gave them a humiliation last season, and the Spurs sent the German tank Nowitzki home 4-3.

At this point, the first round of the playoffs is over.

At this time, the Wizards players were already preparing for the game against the Raptors at home.

On May 6th, just as the Wizards' second round was about to begin, the NbA announced the best defensive player of the season.

When the news was posted on the official website of NbA, all the media were boiling!

Because the winner of the best defensive player is Li Kaiming from the Washington Wizards!

After winning the scoring title for four consecutive years, in the fourth season of his career, Li Kaiming finally proved himself on the defensive end, and won the personal honor that symbolizes the strongest defense.

And Li Kaiming has also become the only person after Michael Jordan, the god of basketball, to win both the scoring title and the best defensive player in a single season!

At half past seven in the evening, during tonight's pre-game home players' entrance ceremony, the Wizards' dJ changed again when he called Li Kaiming.

"Let's welcome, Olympic Champion, Championship, mVp, All-Star, Best Defensive Player – Lee Kai Myeong!"

Running out of the dark tunnel of players, Li Kaiming bent down to thank the cheers of the home crowd!

Both players were ready, and with a whistle from the referee, Valanciunas helped the Raptors win the opening game.

Lowry dribbled past half court, faced Kenny's defense and called Valanciunas on the inside to come out to cover, and then the strong hips suddenly exerted, and the small steel cannon swooped into the Wizards' box.

But Bradge dared to go out recklessly to change defenses and chase and intercept the opponent's blocking, which naturally depended on him, and his reliance was on the new best defensive player who could cover all the inside lines!

Lowry thought that after passing Blatch, his layup would be safe, but Li Kaiming used a volleyball cap to make the little cannon understand what is called the best defensive player!

Leonard grabbed the rebound, Kenny dribbled to the frontcourt, and then handed the ball directly to Li Kaiming, who was standing at the free throw line.

The Raptors' starting power forward is Amir Johnson, a short and strong forward with a big beard, of course, his shortness is relative to Li Kaiming, and the height of 206 is actually more than enough to play a power forward.

But the problem is that this Uncle Amir Johnson, as the 56th pick in 05, has average talent, and now that he is older, he can't keep up with Li Kaiming's speed.

Li Kaiming just swept the ball with a low hand, and then broke through one step by the way, Johnson barely followed, but Li Kaiming immediately turned around and made Johnson clean!

rushed to the basket, facing the familiar Lithuanian center Valanciunas, Li Kaiming hit a pull-up and hit a layup easily!

Start 2-0!

The Raptors served to the frontcourt, and Lowry handed the ball to DeRozan, who faced Thompson with a three-way threat and broke down to the mid-range, and then made a gesture to shoot!

This action is really realistic, and even Li Kaiming on the side thought that DeRozan was going to shoot and was ready to grab a rebound.

But when he got in his position, what he was waiting for was not the basketball, but the referee's whistle!

Thompson raised his hand in some annoyance, signaling for his foul.

DeRozan walked to the free throw line and hit both free throws to help the Raptors bite the score.

In the first quarter of the game, the Wizards' interior defense was solid, and the Raptors couldn't score in the Wizards' restricted area at all, so they could only rely on the outside to score two points.

After Lowry went down to rest in the second half, Elliott Williams, Li Kaiming's good brother, came on the court and brought breakthrough firepower to the Raptors.

At this time, Li Kaiming also happened to go down to rest, so Williams seized the opportunity and broke through several times in a row to help the Raptors close the point difference, and finally the first quarter of the game ended, and the Wizards led by 5 points at 29-24.
