One Thousand Seven Hundred and Sixty. Best Defensive Player!

Knowing that he couldn't win the argument, Curry still wanted to be abused. Later, he began to regret it.

However, every time he saw Sun Ce, he couldn't help it!

A happy lunch ended with Curry almost jumping up and hitting Sun Ce's knee.

After arriving at the FedEx Arena together, Curry pulled Harden, who wanted to have a good discussion with Paul George and Klay Thompson about where there were more girls with big buttocks in Memphis, and parted ways with Sun Ce.

Sun Ce looked at the elementary school brother who was so angry, and shrugged helplessly. As a big brother with a broad mind, he felt that he should spur the elementary school brother more.

Such scenes, the double 3D are already used to...

In the afternoon, the Grizzlies continued to plan, adjust and train tactics against the Warriors.

Sometimes, planned defense methods and small-scale cooperation can find problems according to the opponent's lineup in simulation training. With the experience of the past five playoffs, the Grizzlies have gradually developed a complete playoff preparation mode, and their current most expensive lineup in the league can simulate the offense or defense of many teams. Compared with last season, they are more fully prepared for this season.

In the evening, the series between the Hawks and the 76ers started first.

Sun Ce didn't pay much attention to this game. In his mind, the only team in the East that can be compared with the Lakers, the Bulls, and Lei Yong is the Bulls with a strong lineup of Rose, Griffin, Noah, Taj Gibson, Dunleavy, Mirotic, Aaron Brooks, Hinrich, Snell, Muhammad, and Trevor Booker.

If one of the Heat, the 76ers, and the Hawks enters the finals, then Sun Ce will not have to worry about the East at all.

The Hawks are the first in the Eastern Conference, but from the beginning of the playoffs, the media predicted that the Hawks would not be the opponent of the 76ers and the Knicks in the playoffs.

Although the overall lineups of the latter two teams are not so good, they have real superstars who can play a decisive role in the playoffs.

Such public opinion gave the 76ers great confidence, and the 76ers grabbed the home advantage in the first game!

Evans scored 19 points, 3 rebounds and 14 assists, Gasol scored 21 points, 16 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block, Noel scored 14 points, 9 rebounds and 6 blocks, plus Covington's 16 points and Mbah a Moute's 14 points... The 76ers defeated the Hawks 104-99 and won the first victory of the series!

The Hawks were too weak in the anxious stage. Although 6 players scored in double digits, only Millsap scored more than 15 points, and Millsap only scored 17 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals.

Although the 76ers did not have as many players who scored in double figures as the Hawks, nor did they have as many players who scored on the court as the Hawks, their five main scorers had already scored 84 points. Even if the other players only scored 20 points in total, it was enough to beat the Hawks.

With such a result, when Sun Ce finished practicing the Nash training method and read the report of the first game day of the second round before going to bed, he did not feel any surprise. The Hawks were very good in the regular season, but they were really weak in the playoffs. Except for Millsap, no one could stand up to the confrontation with Evans + Gasol.

…

May 5th, the last day of preparation for the Grizzlies before the second round.

When he arrived at the stadium in the morning, Sun Ce discussed with Tony Allen, Paul George, Gobert, Larry Sanders, Klay Thompson, etc., the main players on the defensive end, about their solutions to the problems that occurred in yesterday's training after a night, and the tactical meeting at 9 o'clock in the morning was also discussing.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner. The specific effect of the preparation will only be known in the game. Preparation is an ideal state, and the real game may be another situation.

But this kind of general defensive routine training and small-scale cooperation training can always be used. The rest is to decide the big strategy of the first game in the pre-match meeting tomorrow morning, and the on-the-spot response of the coaching staff or players on the field during the game!

After a morning of training,

At noon, all the Grizzlies went to the cafeteria and squeezed next to Sun Ce. Even the boss came to join in the fun.

From May 1st to May 3rd, the NBA official has convened representatives of major media, TV commentators, and experts to vote for the four final awards of Best Defensive Player and Best Team, Best Defensive Team, and Best Rookie Team. Yesterday, some media people posted their votes online.

This time, David Stern did not agree with Adam Silva's desire to make the vote a confidential vote and the award announcement a Grammy and Oscar-style award ceremony. David Stern knew very well that fans did not have the patience to wait until the end of the finals to discuss the regular season awards.

If that were the case, the influence of regular season awards in the minds of fans would be greatly reduced, because many players who won regular season awards may not perform so well in the playoffs, and even the MVP may be gone after the first round.

After winning the award, being eliminated, and winning the award after being eliminated, the feeling given to fans is too different.

At 12 noon, the major social media and news channels of the NBA simultaneously announced the last four awards of the regular season of this season!

When Sun Ce saw the headline of the NBA official website homepage refreshed by the name of "The Lord won the Best Defensive Player for the first time", the cafeteria was excited!

"Third brother, treat us!"

Klay Thompson yelled directly, and everyone was yelling at him to treat them.

"Please, please, please, I will treat you to a month of New Zealand after we win the championship!"

Although it was a bit painful, Sun Ce was so happy now that he promised without hesitation that as long as he won the championship, he would take them to New Zealand where the sex service industry was legal.

Whether he went or not was one thing, anyway, he would treat them.

After waiting for a long time, it was finally today...Sun Ce had treated them to a game during the Los Angeles All-Star Game before, and when it really came to spending money, Sun Ce was still very generous.

After a bit of a commotion, Sun Ce checked the news page of the best defensive team.

Looking at the best defensive team, I wanted to see if he was the most tragic best defensive player in recent years, who was only the second defense.

Luckily, he was not!

He, Paul George, Leonard, Draymond Green, and Thabeet were selected for the first team of the best defensive team!

Paul, Tony Allen, Jimmy Butler, Anthony Davis, and Duncan were selected for the second team of the best defensive team.

Three players from the Grizzlies were selected for the All-Defensive Team!

When Sun Ce saw the list of the first defense, he saw Thabeet's name... This really made Sun Ce sigh.

Duncan didn't play enough because of his physical strength. His defensive efficiency was good, but his defensive efficiency for the whole game was slightly lower than Thabeet's this season. If Duncan had the physical strength to play for 31 minutes last season, the first defense might have belonged to Duncan again.

As for Thabeet, he survived for a few years, and when he was 28 years old and entered his peak period, he really played very well and got a first defense.

This guy is indeed talented, and he showed it in college, but there is a gap between his level when he just entered the NBA and the NBA level. The main reason is that his characteristics are too single, just eating cakes, guarding the basket and close range, just like Gobert in his rookie year. It takes time to cultivate slowly, and his progress is not as obvious as Gobert.

Only the Warriors were still in the bad period at that time, so they had time to wait. After the Grizzlies got Randolph, they no longer had time to wait, and they also had Gasol as the core center, so originally in the time and space, Tabit was directly abandoned and went to the Warriors. The Warriors patiently cultivated him, and after six years, he finally got a first-team defense.

But seeing Duncan, who turned 39 last month, got the second-team defense... Sun Ce really wanted to complain - what do people like Gasol and Chandler do for a living!

Also, this year's best defensive team did not have the same vote! Mainly because the outside line did not have the same vote, which surprised Sun Ce.

Open the news page of the best lineup, in terms of the first team, he, Harden, James, Griffin, and Gasol were selected together.

Curry, Westbrook, Paul George, Anthony Davis, and Gasol were selected together for the second team.

Paul, Klay Thompson, Kobe, Aldridge, and Duncan were selected together for the third team.

Aldridge played 70 games and averaged 15.5 points, 7.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.1 blocks, and was selected to the All-NBA Team. This... is really based on the record!

Sun Ce and his teammates don't think there is anything wrong with their team having 4 All-NBA teams and 3 All-Defensive teams. In a 75-win season, without so many All-NBA players, the stars of other teams are even less worthy of being in the All-NBA Team and the All-Defensive Team.

Duncan averaged 14 points, 10 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 2.1 blocks and was selected to the Third Team and the Second Defense Team, and Kobe averaged 21 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.1 steals and was selected to the Third Team...

These two old men, as long as they don't get seriously injured, this state is too good to maintain!

For the center position, Sun Ce looked at the data of the winners, and Duncan was the most efficient one, but he played 76 games and averaged 28.5 minutes per game, which is indeed not enough to support Duncan and the Gasol brothers to compete for the first and second teams.

In terms of the best rookie team, the rookies of 2014 were not as good as people expected, and seemed to be far behind the rookies of 2012. The Suns' second-round pick Jordan Clarkson and the first-round pick Payton, two rookies from the same team, were selected for the first rookie team at the same time, occupying two guard positions. The Clippers' Wiggins, the Bulls' Mirotic, and the 76ers' Noel were selected for the first rookie team.

In the first rookie team, only Wiggins and Mirotic averaged more than 10 points per game, the former averaging 17 points per game and the latter averaging 12 points per game.

The second rookie team consisted of Smart of the Celtics, LaVine of the Timberwolves, Julius Randle of the Kings, Nurkic of the Nuggets, and Langston Galloway of the Knicks.

This best rookie team seemed to be worse than the best rookie team of 2013!

The best performer in the second rookie team was Galloway, an undrafted player of the Knicks!
