Moreover, Popovich's "Hammer Tactics" appeared on the playoff stage for the first time, and the effect was remarkable.

Danny Green, Boris Diaw, these role players have all benefited from the tactical system and have been greatly utilized.

People always make progress. Duncan's decline in strength prompted Popovich to seek changes, and his changes also produced results.

Then look at the east side, which is also a source of surprise.

The Bulls took away the Hawks cleanly 4-1, and they were also the Nets' opponents in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Historically, this year the Bulls suffered a setback due to Rose's injury, but now that they have a relatively healthy Rose, it's not easy for the Nets to think about it.

The Pacers and Celtics tied 3-3.

A group of old guys in Boston played very tenaciously. They were once behind by 15 points in G6, but they still recovered tenaciously and reversed the game.

But compared to changing, the 76ers and Knicks are also the source of surprise.

Before the game, some fans expected that the 76ers would bring trouble to the Knicks, but they didn't expect the trouble would be so big!

Bynum simply killed many Heat insiders!

Facts have proved that "Little Shark" still got part of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's true legacy. His hook shot, defense, frontcourt rebounding, and inside attack... he played like the league's number one center!

Of course, in history, Hibbert can get whatever he wants from the Heat, let alone Bynum.

At this time, Bynum's knee injury was not that serious, and he had not yet fallen in love with playing basketball. It is no exaggeration to say that he was the third center in the league after Yao Ming and Howard.

Playing inside the Knicks, who are almost equipped with the Heat, there is naturally a lot of room to play.

And Iguodala also has great restrictions on James. His body shape and size are too suitable for guarding James, especially James after losing weight.

Fans couldn't help but sigh. It turns out that besides Lin Ying, there is a second player in the league who can cause big trouble to James!

Even Jrue Holiday has great limitations on Wade, whose breakthrough power has been reduced due to a knee injury.

This 76ers, just like the Warriors back then, is a nemesis team built for the Knicks and Mavericks!

Now the two sides are mostly tied at 3-3.

The tiebreaker between this group will be very exciting.

If the Knicks were hacked...

If nothing else, social media operators are trembling again!

…

The second round of the playoffs hasn't started yet.

At this time, two important events happened in the alliance.

One is the end of the annual draft lottery ceremony.

The Rockets, the most promising team before, finally missed out on the No. 1 pick!

The No. 1 pick finally belongs to the New Orleans Hornets!

However, this wave belongs to the Rockets and they think too much, and everyone understands this.

When the Hornets were put under trusteeship, the league had a lot of headaches.

Because hosting means that the team’s daily expenses have to be paid by the league!

It has been almost 2 years in the blink of an eye. How can the alliance have so much money to maintain it?

So they really searched among the crowd, and finally convinced NFL Saints owner Tom Benson.

Benson is actually not very interested in the NBA, so Stern will naturally have many agreements to convince him.

Just like when the Bobcats were expanded to include the Bobcats, they sent you the top three picks and gave you other teams to pick players.

That was clearly conditional.

But the Hornets didn't look good here, so it became secretive.

So the No. 1 pick can be said to be a sure thing, and the drawing of lots is just a formality.

But the good news for Rockets fans is that they got the second pick.

Although they basically missed out on Anthony Davis, they still have a lot of available players.

For example, Andre Drummond of the University of Connecticut, who previously said he would withdraw from the race, but finally ran.

Although his performance in terms of statistics is not very dazzling, his outstanding physical talent has led the media to compare him to the next Dwight Howard.

As for the Nets, the previous trade of Deron gave away a first-rounder in 2011, and the subsequent first-rounders belong to them.

So this time I secured the 23rd pick in the first round.

However, they have two picks in the second round, one is their own No. 53 pick, and the other is the Heat's No. 51 pick.

According to the Nets' current cleanup, there is a high probability that Walken Dean will move up the draft.

Speaking of which, there are a lot of high-quality second-round picks this year. It depends on whether Dean Walken can grasp them.

Second, at this time, the league announced the second batch of awards for the season.

The final destination for Rookie of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year.

There is no suspense about the Rookie of the Year award. Irving was successfully elected with nearly 60% of the vote by averaging 18.5 points, 3.7 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game.

Although the Cavaliers' record last season was last in the Eastern Conference, Irving represented the team in the lottery and only picked the fourth pick.

However, they know that this is just the beginning. James didn't make the playoffs in the first year he came to the team, and everything will be fine!

The ownership of another award, dpoy, has attracted more attention.

Because Howard is likely to become the NBA's unprecedented four-consecutive DPOY winner.

If he can do it, it will not only be unprecedented, but also basically unparalleled.

But when the results of this award were finally selected, everyone was surprised.

The one who got dpoy turned out to be Lin Ying!

When Durant excitedly told Lin Ying the news on the phone, he looked confused.

It's not just that Howard didn't have four consecutive games.

As a time traveler, he opened his eyes and knew that it would be difficult for Howard to win four consecutive games.

The main reason is aesthetic fatigue.

The Third Company is unprecedented, and it would be very boring if the ideas of those behind it were eliminated.

In fact, Howard's vote rate in that selection was less than 20%, not as good as Chandler, and not as good as Ibaka.

So the final winner of DPOY this year in history is Tyson Chandler.

Lin Ying basically predicted this.

Although the Nets' record this season is not as good as that of other super teams, there is one thing that ranks among the top in the league: their defense.

Their defensive efficiency is second in the league, just behind the Bulls and higher than the Spurs.

When you have Jimmy Butler, Shane Battier, Lin Ying, Chandler, Sheldon Williams and many other tough players, it's hard to be bad at defense.

Not to mention the defensive skills of Yi Jianlian, Deron, and Joe Johnson are all above the standard.

So Chandler is as deserving of the award as ever in history.

But he didn't expect that it would be given to him in the end.

Of course, this time it's not Stern's blessing, because like MVP, this thing is voted for by major media and reporters.

And based on what I just said, it makes sense to give it to Lin Ying.

Because even in terms of statistics, Lin Ying's defensive statistics are very beautiful.

Not to mention his actual defensive effectiveness.

Except for fast guards like Rose who he can't guard, he can guard him most of the time.

When it comes to single defense, he can guard James and Kobe from the outside, he can guard Anthony in the same position, and he can also handle ordinary insiders if he swings inward.

Not to mention assisting in defense, he has been a assisting defense monster since his debut, and the experience accumulated in the past few years is even richer.

So there is nothing wrong with this award.

Soon, Lin Ying received blessings from many people.

Although dpoy's gold content is not as high as mvp, it is not easy to get him as a non-insider player.

Let's put it this way, in the 15 years from the 1996-1997 season to now, only one person has done it.

Ron, I broke the 5 consecutive DPOY record of Artest.

Lin Ying is the second person to do this in the past 15 years.

The only thing that stands out is that Lin Ying won dpoy as one of the top three scorers.

If you count this, there is only one person in the entire NBA history who can do it.

Michael · It’s finally my time · Jordan.
