Chapter 872 [Award Again, Smash the Sign]
The strongest outside three-point firepower and the strongest rebounding efficiency, these two points together make the Clippers invincible this season.
The Clippers only lost two games in the second half, losing to the Spurs on the road and an upset loss to the Grizzlies at home.
The Grizzlies are a playoff team. Lillard and McCrum were both shooting from the outside, and they had the upper hand against the Clippers with three-pointers. Lillard hit 9 three-pointers in this game, scoring 51 points and 7 points. Assisted and made 6 steals, setting a personal career scoring record.
Lillard said after the game that he respects Curry very much, but he doesn't like others saying he looks like Curry. "His performance was amazing, but I am myself, so don't say I'm imitating him. It's disrespectful to me to say that."
In fact, their playing styles are very similar, but Lillard is not as accurate as Curry.
On April 13, the Clippers played their last away game against the Suns, who had missed the playoffs. They fought hard against the rabbits and used all their strength to win 115-94. The final record was fixed at 78 wins and 4 losses, and the regular season record was improved by one. field.
No Clippers player has suffered serious injuries throughout the season. Whiteside and Gasol have rested for 10 games each. Jokic and David West are strong enough to step up, and Draymond Green can also make a cameo. Center; outside Devin Booker sprained his ankle and missed 6 games, and Middleton injured his shoulder and missed 11 games, both of which were not serious.
The Clippers averaged 118.5 points per game this season and only lost 102.7 points. Their performance on both offense and defense was amazing. They lost a lot of points. In fact, their defense was not as good as last season, but the pace has accelerated.
With "Huan Zhuge Ge", Middleton, Antetokounmpo, Whiteside and others, the Clippers really want to focus on defense. It is entirely possible to limit the opponent's score to less than 90 points in a single season.
The Spurs, ranked second in the Western Conference, did not perform poorly, winning 63 games. No other team has won 60+ games.
The Rockets ultimately ranked only eighth in the Western Conference. As a Big Three team, this is a very shameful statistic. In addition to the problems of Harden and Howard, Bosh, the third leader, was reimbursed for the season due to blood clots in the mid-term.
Before the All-Star break last season, Bosh missed many games due to blood clots. He participated in the 2015 New York All-Star Game, playing 11 minutes and scoring 10 points, 3 rebounds and 2 steals. After the game, Bosh suddenly felt short of breath and was rushed to the hospital for treatment.
After a comprehensive examination, doctors found that Bosh's blood clot had migrated from his calf to his lungs, becoming a rare disease.
Bosh's illness relapsed this year. If Bosh's wife hadn't insisted that he go to the hospital for a check-up, and if it hadn't been discovered early, Bosh would most likely have died on the field. So since February, Bosh has been absent.
Meeting the Clippers in the first round, the Rockets are just going through the playoffs this year.
Unsurprisingly, the bottom team in the Western Conference is the Lakers again. "The Great" Embiid was reimbursed again. The Lakers have no one available inside except Hibbert. They only have 15 wins in the season, setting a new losing record. Kobe retired amidst the applause of Los Angeles fans. No one listed the statistics, and everyone was not unreasonable.
The Wizards in the Eastern Conference ranked first with 59 wins. The Cavaliers had an excellent record in the second half and ranked second with 53 wins. No team has achieved 50+ wins since then, and the winning rate of the 7th and 8th place teams is less than half.
At the bottom of the Eastern Conference are the Bucks, with 21 wins and 61 losses.
Adam Silva continues to have headaches. The debate on why most NBA stars are unwilling to play in the East has evolved from the 20th century to the 21st century, and there is still no clear answer to this day. But that's the thing. Even though taxes are low in many cities in the East and stars can make more money, they just don't want to join.
The king of statistics was revealed. Curry averaged 34 minutes per game, scoring 30.4 points, 4.3 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 2.1 steals, winning the scoring and steals titles.
In addition, he shot 50.4% from the field, 45.4% from the three-point range, and 90.8% from the free throw line. He entered the 180 club for the first time in his career. His efficiency value is as high as 31.5,
He averaged 5.1 three-pointers per game, also ranking first in the league.
With the terrifying data, there is no suspense for Curry to win the regular season MVP this season. If Silva dares to award this award to someone else, then this award can be canceled next year.
Pistons center Andre Drummond won the rebounding title, averaging 14.8 per game.
Thunder's Russell Westbrook leads the league in assists for the first time in his career, averaging 10.4 per game.
The leader in blocks is Jazz center Rudy Gobert, averaging 2.7 per game.
The team had two days of rest, and Clippers veteran Andre Miller and teenager Norman Powell were not included in the 13-man playoff roster.
Compared to Powell, whose performance is very unstable, Yang Rui believes in Richard Jefferson's experience more. As for Miller, he was a post-playing coach with the Clippers and almost never played.
There was no suspense in the first round. The Clippers easily swept the Rockets with an incomplete lineup 4-0.
Harden's performance was extremely poor, shooting 41% from the field and 31% from three-point range. He averaged 26.5 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists on 20 shots per game. Looking at the data, he seems to be a star, but in fact, with such a low shooting rate, he is undercover.
Howard's performance is worse than Harden, averaging 13 points and 14 rebounds per game, and his free throw percentage is only 36.8%. Howard will definitely leave Houston in the summer, and he is no longer welcome here.
The Rockets' third scoring point in the playoffs turned out to be Michael Beasley, who joined as a free agent in the mid-term, with 10.4 points. With such a lineup, it's not surprising that they lost to the Clippers by an average of 28 points per game.
The second round was equally simple, with the Clippers sweeping the Grizzlies 4-0.
The Grizzlies eliminated the Warriors and advanced to the second round. Their weaknesses are obvious. Their offense mainly relies on double shots from the outside and has almost no offensive power inside. It is impossible to practice Jordan's offense. The opponent only needs to foul and send him free throws to prevent it.
What shocked the fans was that Curry sprained his knee in the second game of the series. He was helped off the field by his teammates and immediately went to the hospital.
If Curry is reimbursed for the playoffs, the Clippers will be missing their number one star, and it will definitely become more difficult to defend their title. Fortunately, his MRI test was negative. He suffered a first-degree sprain and is expected to be sidelined for two weeks.
Yang Rui asked Curry to rest in peace and recuperate without rushing to come back. He just took this opportunity to train the new players. There is less rotation of players in the playoffs. If Curry doesn't play, Booker can get more playing time.
Relying on the performance of Antetokounmpo, Gasol, Whiteside, LaVine and others, the Clippers won two more away games.
Grizzlies fans thought that the home team had a chance. The Clippers would be weaker without the MVP. The Clippers would indeed be weaker without Curry, but the lineup is not comparable to the Grizzlies.
After waiting for a few days, another round of the Western Conference series was decided. The Thunder eliminated the highly favored Spurs 4-2.
The Spurs players cooperated very well, but they were no match for the overwhelming talent.
The regular season awards were announced. Yang Rui and Curry successfully won the awards, and were unanimously elected as the best coach and MVP.
Whiteside unexpectedly won the Best Sixth Man Award. He averaged a double-double per game, could play a role on both offense and defense, and was extremely efficient. Competing with him is Jamal Crawford, the Pacers' sixth man, averaging 14.2 points and 2.3 assists per game.
The Rookie of the Year was won by Towns of the Timberwolves. In his rookie season, he scored a double-double of 18.3 points, 10.5 rebounds and 2 assists. Booker didn't play much time, averaging 10.6 points per game and was selected to the rookie second team.
The best defensive player was won by Kawhi Leonard of the Spurs. There is no dispute. The Spurs ranked among the best in all defensive statistics, averaging only 92.9 points per game. Draymond Green also gained something and was once again selected to the All-Defensive First Team.
Curry led the All-NBA first team, while Draymond and Gasol were selected to the third team together.
The Clippers have had a great harvest of honors, but some people are disappointed.
Griffin, who joined the Heat, only played 48 games throughout the season and failed to even make the third team. The Heat were eliminated in the first round. "Golden Dealer" Pat Riley's signature is completely ruined.
