Build a Dream Dynasty

On April 26, the league also officially announced the list of the best rookie, best defensive player, and most improved player.

The honor of the best rookie, Wiggins of the Cavaliers did his part, averaging 17.6 points and 5.4 rebounds per game, played 81 games this season, and led the Cavaliers to the playoffs after four seasons. Impeccable.

With his outstanding performance in the second half of the season, Porzingis surpassed LaVine and Parker in the selection of the best rookie and ranked second. The main disadvantage of the Latvians was that their position as a substitute in the first half of the season lowered their stats, but after turning into a full-time starter, Porzingis' stats and efficiency are at the level of the league's top insiders. There is no loss in draft picks." Although it is a little regretful to miss the best rookie, Porzingis has basically completed the reservation for the Nets' starting center position in his first year as a rookie, and it can be regarded as a successful rookie season.

LaVine, who served as the sixth man of the Eagles, won the third place. It is not in vain that Jiang Mingliang "pursued" him before the draft.

The most improved player of the season belongs to the Bucks' Middleton without any suspense. He has improved from a substitute player who averaged 4.7 points per game and shot 36% from the outside last season to a super player who averaged 19.6% points per game and 40% from the outside. As a shooter, Middleton's improvement in all aspects is very obvious. He is also the player who is most worthy of the honor of Most Improved Player. Whiteside and Jimmy Butler are ranked second and third. These two mainly lost because the range of "improvement" was not as great as that of Middleton.

Another Nets player who ranked second in the award selection is Dreaming Green. After fighting with Gasol Jr. for a season, Chaimeng finally lost to the opponent in the competition for honor, and regrettably ranked second. However, compared to Porzingis who has no way to win the best rookie again, Chasing Dream still has a chance to win another DPOY, and Gasol's defensive data is indeed not worse than Chasing Dreaming Green, this honor is well deserved .

After all three honors were awarded. The three honors that have not yet been announced by the media have also given the answer. Head coach Budenholzer should be sure, and the most important MVP, Curry should be well-deserved.

But for the team, the most important thing right now is the G2 Eastern Conference semifinals between the team and the 76ers. Returning to New York with a score of 0:2, the situation will become very unfavorable.

However, after the opening game, amidst the cheers of the fans, the 76ers' momentum was high, and the offensive continued. The performance of the 76ers on the defensive end was relatively mediocre. Curry and Porzingis scored 69 points together, which shows that their defense against the Nets is also very mediocre. The main reason for their victory lies in their offense. , but in this game, they made the first adjustments and made obvious efforts on the defensive end, limiting the Nets' scoring in the first quarter to 22 points and taking the lead with 28:22.

However, the Nets had a rainy night in the second quarter. Porzingis inadvertently sprained his ankle while fighting for a rebound. Although the injury was not serious this time, he will not be able to play for the time being. Well, after losing Porzingis, the Nets are in a completely different state. Without a thorn in the team's interior, the team can attack Curry more unscrupulously from the outside, and then use James' cooperation The defensive ability supported the team's rotation system. The 76ers played 38:22 in a single quarter, leading to a 22-point lead.

After losing Porzingis, the Nets have completely become a lame horse, but Curry's hard support on the outside is like a boat in the ocean. In front of a powerful opponent, it seems so powerful Shan Ligu, even though he once led the team to a 12:0 attack wave in the third quarter and helped the team narrow the point difference, after the third quarter, the team was still 17 points behind.

In the last quarter of the game, the 76ers did not give the Nets a chance to comeback. It was still the lineup led by James Garharden, which made the Nets' perimeter defense devastated. Still lost the game 103:121, losing two away games in a row.

At the press conference after the game, Stevens also mentioned the team's injury problems. Fortunately, Porzingis' sprain was not serious, and he could return to the team lineup in the next game.

Having said that, Porzingis did not participate in the first training session after returning to New York, which still shows that it is impossible for this sprain to have no impact at all. It's just that the season has progressed to this point, whoever doesn't have a little injury on his body, and in the absence of major hidden dangers, proper persistence is also necessary.

The third game of the Eastern Conference semifinals will start on time at Barclays Center on April 28.

Before the game, the major media all evaluated the game, and they were unanimously optimistic about the 76ers. The Nets have been plagued by injuries this season. Even Porzingis has been injured, and the team's strength has been greatly damaged. Judging from the situation in the first two games, the team is far behind the 76ers. Home field advantage can smooth this gap.

At the beginning of the game, the 76ers also quickly started the game and were in excellent condition. Harden, James, and Mirotic succeeded in attacking again and again, making all 4 shots and taking the lead with 9-2. The Nets There is only one layup by JR here.

Fortunately, at this time, Curry stood up and scored a mid-range shot to help the team stop the bleeding. Then Mirotic missed a 5-foot jumper. Chasing Dream Green easily picked off the rebound. After landing, he quickly The 76ers reacted very quickly, especially James. When Chasing Dream took off the rebound, he quickly returned to the defense. Regarding the ball in Green's hand, he did not care. It was too extravagant to hope that it could be broken easily, so I chose to stand still.

Curry involved the 76ers' defense on the bottom line. JR got a chance and easily dunked after receiving a point from Green, which further helped Yudu narrow the point difference.

The Nets officially opened fire in the backcourt, and the two teams started a confrontation. The score soon reached 20:22, and the Nets narrowed the point difference to 2 points.

In the duel of the rotation lineup, the Nets at home had the upper hand. Under the leadership of veteran Carter, the team played another wave of 12-2 attacks before the end of the first quarter, overtaking the score 32-24 in one fell swoop and ending the first quarter.

The team gained a certain advantage in the first quarter, but Jiang Mingliang's face on the sidelines was not as good as it looked in the score. Jiang Mingliang is still under a lot of pressure after losing two rounds in a row in the away game. In this game, there is no room for loss.
