Chapter 729 [The lineup is complete, who will compete with each other]

In the second round, the Clippers VS Spurs fought first, and the Clippers won 110-86.

Different from the situation in the last round, if you play the Timberwolves, the Clippers will focus on the positional battle, and if you play the Spurs, it will become the fast break.

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

The Clippers played with Farid and Parsons on the inside for five minutes, and they were unstoppable against the Spurs' bench.Split can defend but can't practice shooting range, Bonner has range and can't break through.

In the second game, the same number of ways, the Clippers 105 to 90 and then the next [-]%.

The Clippers lineup was over against the Spurs, Tony Allen blocked Ginobili, and it was difficult to get rid of the snake-shaped breakthrough.

Griffin is the kind of violent power forward that Duncan hates. His style of play is unreasonable. He has to be forced to follow the race, and his defensive skills are useless. Once Griffin rushes, he can only sacrifice himself to block the hole.

Chandler also has a hand when defending Duncan, constantly interfering in front of him, reducing his scoring efficiency.When Duncan shoots only 45 percent from the field, it doesn't help the team much.

Leonard has improved the Spurs defense, but he can only stare at Gay alone, and he has no skills; on the defensive end, the Clippers strictly guard against his three-pointers, and it is difficult to score.

Gay reduced his shots in the regular season and averaged only 13.1 points per game this season. When he played with Shane Battier, he often cameo at the 4th position.

The Spurs can't, 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 Defensive Player of the Year, and the Clippers' progress on the defensive end this season is obvious to all. After center Michael Jordan was replaced by Chandler, no team could take advantage of the Clippers' inside line, well deserved.

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

Now, the teammates are super strong in defense against breakthroughs, and Chandler doesn't change the pick-and-roll many times, so he has maximized his one-on-one defense ability.

"I'm proud to have made it all the way, and it's harvest time," Chandler said as he lifted the trophy.

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

Chandler's victory this time was indeed a narrow victory, followed by Ibaka with 294 points in this vote, only 17 points less than Chandler. Magic Dwight, who has won this award for three consecutive years - Howard finished third.

When the All-Defensive Team was out, it turned out that Chandler wasn't really modest.

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

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

Throughout the history of the league, it is quite rare for the best defensive player to lose the first team. It has only happened twice before, with Mutombo in the 1994-95 season and Erwin Robertson in the 1985-86 season.

The identities of the nominees for these two selections are different.The Defensive Player of the Year is selected by NBA reporters and commentators, while the All-Defensive Team is selected by the league's team head coaches.

Obviously, in the eyes of the league's head coach, in the center position, "Warcraft" Howard is the best candidate for the first team of the defensive lineup, but he was dragged down by the team's record, so he failed to win the DPOY four times in a row.

The best rookie was won by the King's Kyrie Irving. He averaged 33.5 points, 20.4 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 5.8 steals in 1.1 minutes per game, while shooting 46.1% from the field, 39.9% from three-point range and 87.2% from the free throw line.

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

进步最快球员是魔术的莱恩-安德森，场均16.1分7.7篮板0.9助攻0.8抢断，场均命中2.7个三分球，命中率39.3%。

Curry has won the best sixth man in a row. He usually comes off the bench, shooting percentage and data, and the league has no competition. He is the only sixth man selected for the All-Star this season.

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

All of the Cavaliers' numbers are down from their peaks, Mike Miller has become a pure spot-up shooter, and Bosh has become a wave.

唯有詹姆斯能稳定拿下准三双，场均27.1分7.9篮板6.2助攻1.9抢断0.8盖帽，投篮命中率生涯新高53.1%，三分命中率36.2%，罚球也有77.1%。

Although Durant won the scoring title, he can only rank second. With James, he can only rank second in 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 improvement of the record, the evaluation of the Lakers players also improved. The three were selected for the best team, and the strength of the two insiders was affirmed.

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

The selection of Yao Ming made Chinese fans very excited, and Yang Rui was also happy for him. In this life, Yao Ming has changed his style of play and his sports life has been extended.At the same time, Stoudamire had become a glass man in the Knicks, and Yao Ming was still alive and well playing pick-and-roll with Delong.

The best coach award was won by the "young coach" Brad Stevens of the Nets. He relied on the fact that the team's record has improved significantly compared to last season, and only No.3 in the Eastern Conference is enough to win the award.

The league is now starting to support Stevens. Whether it's a player or a coach, it's easier to win awards if you go to a good team with high exposure. This is an unspoken rule of the business league.If you go to a small city and lose the ball, unless it is the Cavaliers, the overall free throw count alone will suffer.

The Nets' ratings have risen sharply this season, and they have taken shape for the giants.After Yao Ming joined, the Nets rely on the Chinese market and become extremely promising.Next season, they will move to Brooklyn, across the river from the Knicks, to start a new round of competition.

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

The only bad thing is that Stevens worked for Yang Rui as an assistant coach, and he was an assistant coach of the NCAA college team and was recruited by Yang Rui exceptionally.

Since Stevens joined the NBA, people have classified him as a "Jerry-type" coach. The better his performance, Yang Rui will also be highly rated. It is very difficult for him to surpass Yang Rui.

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

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

"I didn't expect this day to come so fast, it felt like a dream. But I shouldn't be proud because I'm only the second-youngest coach in NBA history, and Jerry's first. At that time, he was ten years younger than me."

The major media released news, but they did not bypass Yang Rui. Comparing the two, many people think that Yang Rui should actually be reelected this year. Now the Clippers are the closest to the championship.

Compared with career honor, no one can compete with Yang Rui in the short term.
