Chapter 728 [The Lineup Is Defeated, Who Can Compete with It]

The second round started with the Clippers vs. the Spurs playing first, with the Clippers winning 110-86.

Different from the situation in the last round, when playing against the Timberwolves, the Clippers mainly focused on positional battles, while when playing against the Spurs, it became mainly about fast breaks.

The Spurs have many veterans and prefer slow-paced games. They can't get up fast. Even if they go on a fast break, they only have Parker, Ginobili, and Leonard. Budinger can't get up when playing, and Turkoglu can't get up. Just as slow.

The Clippers used Faried and Parsons to partner inside to kill the five players inside, and they were unstoppable against the Spurs substitutes. Split can defend but cannot develop shooting range, while Bonner has range and cannot defend and break through.

In the second game, the same method was used, and the Clippers scored 105 to 90.

The Clippers lineup completely defeated the Spurs, Tony Allen guarded Ginobili, and the serpentine breakthrough was difficult to escape.

Griffin is the kind of violent power forward that Duncan hates. His playing style is unreasonable. He is forced to keep running. His defensive skills are ineffective. Once Griffin charges, he has no choice but to sacrifice his life to block the hole of the gun.

Chandler was also good at guarding Duncan, constantly interfering in front of him and reducing his scoring efficiency. When Duncan shot only 45 in isolation, he couldn't help the team much.

Leonard has improved the Spurs' defense, but he can only watch Gay alone. The Clippers are unable to defend on the defensive end and guard his three-pointers, making it difficult to score.

Gay has taken fewer shots in the regular season and averaged only 131 points per game this season. When playing with Battier, he often plays a guest role at the 4th position. His position is unknown. It doesn't matter if he scores less.

The Spurs can't do it because Duncan, Scola, and Parker can't shoot three-pointers, and Leonard and the shooting guard can't shoot three-pointers, which has a fatal impact on the Spurs.

At this time, the NBA regular season awards were announced.

Tyson Chandler was elected the best defensive player. The Clippers' progress on the defensive end this season is obvious to all. After center DeAndre Jordan was replaced by Chandler, no team could take advantage of the Clippers inside, and they deserved the award.

In Yang Rui's previous life, although Chandler also won the best defensive player in the Knicks, his defensive efficiency could not be compared with this season because his partner was a "luffa" combination, two players with poor defense.

Now, his teammates are very strong in preventing breakthroughs. Chandler doesn't switch to pick-and-rolls many times, maximizing his single defense ability.

"I'm very proud that I've been able to come all the way. Now it's time to reap the rewards." Chandler said when he raised the trophy.

Later, he did not forget to be humble. "I'm really afraid that this award will go to my teammates because their defense is so good."

Chandler did win by a narrow margin this time. Ibaka, who was closely followed, scored 294 points in this voting, only 17 points less than Chandler. Magic Dwight Howard, who has won this award for three consecutive years Got third.

When the best defensive team was announced, people discovered that Chandler was really not humble.

First team: Chris Paul, Tony Allen, LeBron James, Ibaka, Howard.

Second team: Rajon Rondo, Kobe, Iguodala, Garnett, Chandler.

Throughout the history of the league, it is quite rare for the best defensive player to miss the first team. It has only happened twice before, namely Mutombo in the 199495 season and Erwin Robertson in the 198586 season.

For these two selections, the identities of the selectors are different. The best defensive player is selected by NBA reporters and commentators, while the best defensive team is selected by the league's head coaches.

Obviously, in the eyes of the league's head coaches, at the center position, "Warcraft" Howard is the best candidate for the defensive lineup. However, he was dragged down by the team's record, which prevented him from winning the dpoy for an unprecedented four times.

The Rookie of the Year was won by Kyrie Irving of the Kings. He averaged 335 minutes per game, scored 204 points, 43 rebounds, 58 assists and 11 steals, shot 461 from the field, 399 from three-point range, and 872 from the free throw line.

Irving's offensive ability is super strong, he has sharp breakthroughs and accurate shooting, but his defensive end still needs to be improved. In terms of breakthrough, Irving's good feel for the ball is surprising.

Extraordinary and gorgeous, he can lay up with both hands, and he is a frequent visitor to the top five goals.

The Most Improved Player is the Magic's Ryan Anderson, who averages 161 points, 77 rebounds, 09 assists and 08 steals per game. He averages 27 three-pointers per game and has a field goal percentage of 393.

Curry has won the Best Sixth Man Award for the second time. He usually comes off the bench and has shooting percentage plus statistics. He has no competitors in the league. He is the only Sixth Man selected to be an All-Star this season.

The regular season vp was won by LeBron James of the Cavaliers.

The statistics of all Cavaliers players have dropped from their peak. Mike Miller has become a pure spot shooter, and Bosh has become a wave player.

Only James can consistently achieve a near-triple-double, averaging 271 points, 79 rebounds, 62 assists, 19 steals and 08 blocks per game. His field goal percentage is a career-high 531, his three-point percentage is 362, and he has made 771 free throws.

Even though Durant won the scoring title, he could only rank second. With James around, he could only rank second at the small forward position.

All-NBA First Team: Paul, Kobe, James, Durant, Howard.

Second team: Westbrook, Deron Williams, Griffin, Love, Chandler.

Third team: Tony Parker, Curry, Joe Johnson, Pau Gasol, Yao Ming.

After the record improved, the evaluation of the Lakers players also improved. Three people were selected to the best team, and the strength of the two insiders was affirmed.

The Mavericks barely made the playoffs, and Nowitzki only played 50 games and missed the All-NBA team.

Yao Ming's selection made Chinese fans very excited, and Yang Rui was also happy for him. In this life, Yao Ming has changed his playing style and extended his sports life. During the same period, Stoudemire had become a glass man in the Knicks, and Yao Ming was still vigorously playing pick-and-rolls with Deron.

The Best Coach Award was won by the Nets' "Young Coach" Brad Stevens. He relied on the team's record to significantly improve compared to last season. Just third place in the Eastern Conference was enough to win the award.

The league is now beginning to favor Stevens. Regardless of players or coaches, it is easier to win awards if you go to a good team with high exposure. This is a hidden rule of the business league. If you go to a small city and lose the ball, unless you are the Cavaliers, you will suffer a loss in terms of overall free throws alone.

The Nets' ratings have increased significantly this season, and they have the prototype of a wealthy team. After Yao Ming joined, the Nets became extremely promising thanks to the Chinese market. They will move to Brooklyn next season, across the river from the Knicks, and start a new round of competition.

Compared with other coaches, Stevens' biggest advantage is his youth. Many people hope to promote a white super coach.

The only bad thing is that Stevens served as an assistant coach for Yang Rui, and he was an assistant coach of an NCAA college team and was recruited by Yang Rui under unusual circumstances.

Since Stevens joined the NBA, people have classified him as a "Jerry-type" coach. The better his results, the more Yang Rui will receive high evaluations. It is very difficult for him to surpass Yang Rui.

Now, Jerry Young's assistant coach is a great asset in the league, completely overshadowing the Spurs assistant coach.

When giving his acceptance speech, Stevens especially thanked Yang Rui, thinking that if Yang Rui hadn't approached him, he might still be playing basketball in college.

"I didn't expect this day to come so quickly. It feels like a dream. But I shouldn't be proud, because I am only the second youngest winner of the best coach award in NBA history. Jerry won the award for the first time. At that time, he was ten years younger than me."

When the major media publish news, they do not bypass Yang Rui and compare the two. Many people think that Yang Rui should actually win the championship this year. Now the Clippers are closest to the championship.

In terms of career honors, no one can compete with Yang Rui in the short term.
