NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal

Time flies, and on May 5, all the games in the first round of the playoffs are over.

On the east side, the Pacers, Heat, Wizards, and Nets entered the semifinals, with the Pacers VS Wizards and the Heat VS Nets.

In fact, before the start of the game, no one may have imagined that the Wizards, ranked fifth in the East, and the Nets, ranked sixth, could actually complete the feat, especially the Wizards, which ended the first round cleanly 4:1.

But then, the outside world agreed that the Wizards and Nets' playoff journey is basically over.

Because the Pacers and Heat are the only two seeded teams in the Eastern Conference this year. This can be seen from the **** of the two teams in the East in the regular season.

At the same time, the Pacers and the Heat are also the only two teams in the East to break through 50 wins in the regular season. The former has 56 wins and the latter has 54 wins.

If nothing else, the two teams are indispensable on the stage of the Eastern Conference finals.

West side.

The Trail Blazers and the Spurs advanced ahead of schedule, and after watching the situation in the Western Theater for a few days, the Thunder and the Clippers followed closely, and they also got the places to enter the Western Conference semifinals.

In the first round, the Thunder 4:2 Warriors, and the performance of Thunder star Kevin Durant in scoring, can be called the first player in the playoffs.

After 6 games, he scored 36 points in two games, 33 points in one game, 32 points in one game, and 30 points in one game. Only in the battle of Tianwang Mountain, due to the general poor performance, "only" 23 points were recorded.

In the whole series, Durant averaged 31.7 points, 9.8 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.7 blocks and 0.8 steals per game, especially the efficiency is extremely amazing.

As an offensive master who holds a lot of **** and is known for his shooting, he can actually average 13 of 25 shots per game and keep the shooting rate above 50%. One can imagine the horror of the peak Durant.

It turns out that 2014 in history happened to be Kevin Durant's MVP year. The 26-year-old Durant was at the peak of his career. Perhaps, everyone underestimated him.

In the Western Conference semifinals, the Blazers will face the Clippers and the Spurs will face the Thunder.

Due to Durant's super scoring performance in the first round, the series between the Spurs and the Thunder is even more eye-catching than the previous contest between the old and new versions of Alley City.

After another day, after the first round of the playoffs ended, many awards from the regular season were slowly released.

The first is MIP, the Most Improved Player of the Season winner.

Before the start of the playoffs, several favorites are expected to win the Most Improved Player award this season, namely the Suns' Goran Dragic, the Pacers' Lance Stephenson, and the Pelicans' Anthony Davis. And Gerald Green, the nine-finger dunk king who also played for the Suns.

After a series of votes, the most improved player of the season was finally awarded to the new Suns leader Dragic.

I remember last season, Dragic, who was supported by the Suns management as the team leader, averaged only 14 points, 3.8 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 steal per game.

Dragic is undoubtedly commendable if required by ordinary starters. But if it is required by the leader of a team, it is not enough.

Fortunately, after just one summer, Dragic seems to have found the key to his own evolution. Although he still failed to bring the Suns back to the playoffs, his overall performance has improved a lot compared to the previous season. .

The first is in terms of scoring. For the first time in his career, he averaged more than 20 points per game in a single season and entered the 20+ club in the regular season.

Others, like rebounds, assists, and steals, were similar to last season's performance.

Another reason why the referee chose to give him this award is that Dragic's overall shooting percentage this season has also exceeded 50% for the first time, and the three-point shooting rate is also a career-high 40.8%.

In direct comparison with Stephenson, Anthony Davis, and teammate Gerald Green, the three most-improved players of the season, Dragic needs data and efficiency, and it is no wonder that the jury will favor him.

After promulgating the Most Improved Player Award, the NBA officially announced the finalists for the Best Sixth Man, Best Rookie and Best Rookie Team awards.

The favorites for the best sixth man are Jamal Crawford of the Clippers, Manu Ginobili of the Spurs, Gibson of the Bulls, Mo Williams of the Blazers and so on.

In the end, however, the winner was Jamal Crawford.

The reason for this guy's award is similar to Dragic's, he is the highest scorer (18.6 points per game), he also takes into account the efficiency, and the team performance is not bad.

For him, there is not much doubt from the outside world.

And then there's the Rookie of the Year winner, let's just say, he's Michael Carter Williams!

In fact, since McAway made his NBA debut, he scored 22 points, 12 assists, 9 steals and 7 rebounds in a quasi-4-double, and finally helped the 75ers win the Big Three of the Heat with 114:110. There is no suspense in the offense of the good rookie.

Although after the All-Star break and the regular season entered the middle of the season, McAway’s popularity gradually declined, but people still haven’t forgotten his crazy performance at the beginning of the season.

In the end, under this season's Rookie of the Year selection rules, McAway won 104 of the 124 hand votes, with a total score of 569 points, thriving among all rookies.

If McAway can break the targets of other teams in the middle and late stages of the season and lead the 75ers into the Eastern Conference playoffs, maybe his popularity may really catch up with last year's Wang Zelin and the year before Griffin... Too bad it can't be reached!

The Trail Blazers also had a rookie on the All-Rookie Team that followed. Over there is "Neptune" Adams.

Due to the presence of Wang Zelin on the inside, Ya did not receive much training from the team at that time. She played for 81 games basically as a substitute, and the average playing time per game was only a little over 10 minutes.

In terms of personal data, Adams averaged 3.1 points, 4.2 rebounds, 0.7 assists and 0.5 blocks per game, which is almost the same as the Thunder's first season in the original time and space.

The reason why this kind of performance~www.wuxiaspot.com~ can also be selected for the second team of the best rookie team is just because the 13th rookie is indeed a bit too bad.

The 13-year rookie players who scored in double figures were all selected for the rookie first team, but only 4 people came together, and Mason Plumlee, who was finally added, was just an ordinary rotation with an average of 7.4 points and 4.4 rebounds per game.

When it came to the second team, only the short man was able to pull out the general. In the end, Adams was selected at the buzzer thanks to the bonus of the record of the first team of the Trail Blazers.

After the list of the best lineup came out, Wang Zelin took the time to take a look. Sure enough, there was a super predator in the list.

"Kun Kun" Giannis Antetokounmpo!

Nowadays, people can never imagine that the average rookie season is only 6+4+1, and the Greek guy who can't even make it into the first team of the rookie will be able to transform into a Greek monster in the league in the future.

It's outrageous!

After sighing, Wang Zelin packed up his mood and prepared for tomorrow's Western Conference semifinals. If he couldn't play Mosaic, then he would pack up a good meal for the Clippers.
