On April 28, after 10 days of fierce competition in the NBA playoffs, two teams were finally born to advance to the second round.
The two teams that made it to the top didn''t surprise the fans because they were the two biggest champions of the season.
The Memphis Grizzlies beat the Mavericks 103-89 on the same day and swept the opponents with a total score of 4-0 to advance to the western semifinals for the fourth consecutive year! It is also the third year in a row, in the first round of the playoffs to sweep through the posture. On the eastern side, the Miami Heat swept Joe''s Bobcats 109-98 and made it through.
The heat and Grizzlies are also the only two teams in the first round of this season''s NBA playoffs that can sweep their opponents and advance.
The other two teams are still in the light when they win the championship. So it''s not without reason that they can be the favourites.
Next, the Grizzlies wait for the winner between the clippers and the Rockets. The heat, on the other hand, will wait for the Raptors and the nets to win or lose.
Link was quite satisfied with the results of the first round. In the original history, the Spurs and the Mavericks won seven, but the Grizzlies killed their opponents in only four games. It has to be said that the record is quite gorgeous.
The Mavericks are also unlucky. If they meet other opponents, they may be able to make a second round. But they ran into the most ruthless team.
In the absence of games, Joel gave the players two days off. After all, the Grizzlies didn''t rest during the transition from the regular season to the playoffs. Now, it is to make up for those two days of rest.
These two days, link did not train, but comfortable at home for two days. Before the more intense western semifinals, link will have to recover as much as he can.
By the time the Grizzlies return to training, it will be May.
With the Clippers 3-2 ahead of the Rockets, they are about to advance. Who knows, at this time, the outside world suddenly burst out the clipper boss Sterling involved in racial discrimination recording.
This kind of thing on the land of the United States, it is undoubtedly beyond the scope of basketball events. In the NBA League with many black players, Stirling has undoubtedly become the public enemy of the whole nation.
It''s not the 1970s or 1980s, when commentators could even publicly ridicule black players with their skin color. There is no box office guarantee for teams without white stars.
Link just wanted to say to Stirling, "my Lord, times have changed."
As a result, the Clippers also condemned sterling''s behavior in the game that day.
The Clippers wanted to strike directly, but after rivers'' bluff, they finally decided to take part in the game. However, during the warm-up, everyone wore training clothes instead of showing the Clippers'' logo.
This incident eventually affected the Clippers'' state of play. It was only one game away from the Rockets to advance to the second round. But the performance of the Clippers'' collective sleepwalking today is to bring the Rockets back to life.
Harden used the excellent performance of 33 points in the whole match to "seize the fire" and draw the total score of the series to 3-3!
The Clippers are going to grab seven with the Rockets, which is what link didn''t expect before.
Link sighed as he watched the second round of the game being pushed back a few days.
He didn''t feel relaxed when he suddenly took such a long break from the game. Instead, he felt that his body was getting rusty and couldn''t wait to move.
Fortunately, after entering may, it will not be as boring as the end of April. Since the beginning of May, league officials will announce the results of regular season awards.
This melon, whether fans or players, will eat very happy.
One day after the Clippers lost to the Rockets, the Best Coach Award, the first regular season award, was finally announced on May 2.
Despite his inexperience, it is the first time that he has led a full season as head coach. But with the Grizzlies'' 74 win record and the Grizzlies'' first defensive efficiency, Joel beat Popovich and other strong opponents to win the honor of coach of the year!
When he became the best coach in the NBA at the age of 40, he was immediately labeled as "talented young coach.".
Of course, a little-known coach won the honor, or attracted a lot of controversy.
This year, Popovich, Scott Brooks and other leaders are not bad. In terms of their resume, they seem to be more worthy of the honor of best coach than Joel. Some people think that Joel has no real material. He can take the best coach, is completely stained with the team''s glory!
But whether the outside world is willing to accept it or not, the result of the award will not change.
74 win is really great. No matter how much the coach played in the 74 win, even if he just managed the players and made the team win 74, he was a good coach!
In the face of doubt, Joel is not very angry, "I thank you for your approval, as for those who do not recognize me, I also hope that after the game can make you change."Joel is still too gentle, not a bit of "gang boss" momentum. Link''s answer in an interview is obviously much tougher than that of Joel.
"If a coach who leads the team to the first record in the regular season doesn''t deserve the Best Coach Award, it''s better to give the award to the commentators who speak the same language. For example, Bill Simmons, who likes to wear a dress
Link naturally is to support his own coach, with his temper, he will not be as good-natured as Joel.
People are very curious, such a gentle coach, is how to control the Grizzlies "gangster" team.
However, it was never Joel who controlled the Grizzlies'' dressing room...
on the first day of the NBA regular season awards, there was an unexpected surprise. Spurs fans protested, they agreed that no one could surpass the great Popovich, let alone Georges, the recognized little coach.
But even the "Red Coach" Auerbach failed to win the Best Coach Award. Is Auerbach not great enough? But Celtic fans didn''t protest.
Fortunately, the next day''s best sixth man award, awarded to Clippers'' Jamal Crawford, did not continue to explode, which made the fans calm down.
Jamal Crawford is averaging 18.6 points per game this season, ranking sixth in the history of the best sixth man in the NBA. The last best sixth man to score more than he was jet Terry in 2008-09.
Therefore, Crawford deserves the best sixth person award.
Crawford won the award, no doubt let the Clippers morale. Finally, on May 4, Crawford, who just won the prize, came on the bench in the seventh battle between clippers and rockets. He roared excitedly for 28 points, completely breaking the thruster of the rocket and causing the rocket to fall.
4 to 3, the Clippers struggled through the first hurdle by snatching seven. The Memphis Grizzlies, however, are finally waiting for their second round opponent.
After the Clippers'' and Rockets'' seven grabs, Chris Paul, who scored 22 points and 14 assists, looked forward to the second round of the series, "we have the best sixth man, we have the strongest inside combination, we have the determination to win the championship! We are afraid of the champion, but we are not strong enough to win the championship
I don''t know if it''s because Crawford won the best sixth man, Paul is full of confidence. After the Stirling incident, Crawford''s award was like an adrenaline to the Clippers.
The semi-finals of the Western Conference will begin two days later on May 6, during which time the League will announce the awards for defensive player of the year.
If Andrew Jordan wins this honor, the Los Angeles Clippers will be able to install their rocket propellers on their ships!
The clippers, with their best sixth man and best defensive player, will not be at a psychological disadvantage.
Little Jordan''s defensive performance this season is obvious to all fans. He has always been the top five player in the best defensive player prediction list, so he is very likely to win a prize.
However, unexpected is, the unexpected happened again. What''s more, it is still the Memphis grizzly bear that has created a surprise this time www.novelhall.com , the fastest update of the webnovel!
