Chapter 250 Awarded

It is precisely because of the performance of the Knicks this year that the records of many teams have changed. Of course, this is the so-called effect of changing history.In other words, Hu Lin, a little butterfly, is flapping his little wings right now, affecting this year's NBA games.

In fact, the biggest impact is not the New Jersey Nets, and even the previously mentioned fallen Wizards have not received any impact.

The most influential is the Orlando Magic!

That's right, it's the Orlando Magic. In the original history, the Magic could get a last ticket to the playoffs with their 40-win record.

But because of Hu Lin's appearance, especially the match between the Magic and the Knicks, it happened to be at the stage when Hu Lin led the Knicks to a winning streak, so they were in trouble.

However, it doesn't matter. Now Howard and Nelson are very young, and they still need helpers. Even if they enter the playoffs this year, it's just a round trip.

Of course, if historical developments are followed, the Magic will explode strongly next season.

With Hulin's Knicks, not only the Eastern Division is affected, but the Western Division is also affected, but it is relatively small.

Take the Denver Nuggets for example. Needless to say, they almost failed to enter the playoffs, and the Rockets also suffered a decline in record, but they still adjusted. After all, they also entered the playoffs without Yao Ming in history. game.

Other teams basically didn't have much impact. For example, although the Spurs lost two games, they were still third in the regular season, and the Phoenix Suns simply killed the Knicks twice as in history.The Lakers are still underperforming, and entering the playoffs before them has nothing to do with the Knicks winning or losing.

However, as in history, the Golden State Warriors still entered the playoffs with a record of 42 wins and 42 losses, because they were not affected by the rise of the Knicks, and there was no change in their record between them.

In other words, this season, the West can still look forward to the 'Black Eight'.

The ranking of the Western Conference is like this, first, Dallas Mavericks, second, Phoenix Suns, third, San Antonio Spurs, fourth, Utah Jazz, fifth, Houston Rockets, sixth, Denver Nuggets, seventh, Los Angeles Lakers , Eighth, the Golden State Warriors.

Of course, the regular season is completely over, so the NBA has started its annual reward for meritorious service.

The scoring leader, needless to say, is Kobe Bryant. He averaged 31.6 points per game to win the scoring leader this season, and he also scored more than 10 points 50 times this season.

The rebounding king, Kevin Garnett, the Wolves averaged 12.8 rebounds per game. It is said that Comrade David Lee is only 0.4 less than him.

The assist king, this is not the same as in history. This guy Hu is very impressive, with 12.4 assists, beating Nash, who has 11.6 assists, to become the NBA's most assists this season.

Needless to say, some other data after that, because they are not particularly important.

Various awards are coming, Lao Hu won the first important award in his NBA career, the Most Improved Player Award!

That's right, it's the whole award. It is said that this award is not big or small.

Why do you say that?There are certain reasons for this.

Most Improved Player Award, namely MIP, Most-Improved-Player.This award, for players, is a double-edged sword.

This is because many of the winners of this award disappeared from everyone afterwards. That's right, they won the award, but they didn't achieve any good results in the end.From the establishment of this award to the present, only a few of the most outstanding players have achieved good results.

The most recent ones are Arenas and the former Tracy McGrady. Both of them are already very good. However, Lao Hu also knows that neither of them can win the championship.

There are even more negative examples. For example, the recent Jermaine O'Neal, Lao Hu knows that he can't even guarantee the main force.Moreover, after winning this award, there are many people who disappeared not long after.

Therefore, for those who have won this award, their final development is really limited.

However, this award also has an advantage.

There are actually many traps in the NBA, some for players and some for teams. Among them is such a trap, called the MIP trap.It means that after winning the MIP award, the player will soon get a big contract. Anyway, this contract will exceed many people's expectations, but after signing the contract, the player will not get the same amount as before the MIP. kind of performance.

The negative examples mentioned above are basically of this type. Moreover, there is another characteristic of this MIP trap, that is, most of the people who win this award and become traps are in contract years.That is, before the need to sign a new contract, they performed very well, but once they got a big contract, they disappeared immediately.

Unfortunately, Lao Hu is also a contract year this year, and he has not yet discussed the renewal of the contract with the Knicks.

This time, it really made people have a lot of associations. What will Hu Lin's contract extension be like?This is really a hot topic for the time being, especially among fans.

In fact, Hu Lin has a chance to win a better award. This award is very attractive and very important. It can be said to be one of the most important awards in the NBA, that is, the most valuable player award in the regular season!

Don't be surprised, it is the Most Valuable Player Award, which is the MVP of the regular season.

Hu Lin is eligible for this award because he won the monthly MVP twice and the weekly MVP five times in the regular season. This is quite rare, and not everyone is eligible to be selected.

Therefore, during the voting process of the most valuable player in the regular season this time, many reporters really voted for Hu Lin.In the end, Lao Hu lost to Nowitzki of the Mavericks by only 11 votes.

After knowing this situation, Lao Hu was very happy.This is really ah, no matter how hard you work, no matter how hard you work, it is really worth it.

The gap between Nowitzki and Nowitzki is so small, which really surprised Lao Hu. You must know that this year's Mavericks, with a record of 67 wins and 15 losses, can be written into the history books of the NBA. There is really no record like this. Several teams can get it.It doesn't matter what happens to them afterwards, what matters is the regular season.

Of course, the reporters didn't vote for you because you were handsome, Hu Lin. Their reason was very good, that is, if the Knicks didn't have Hu Lin, it would be impossible to enter the playoffs!As for Nowitzki, the Mavericks' record is too strong, so they have to vote for others, otherwise, Lao Hu is very likely to become the youngest NBA regular season MVP!

The reason is really simple and clear.

Other awards are not very important. Of course, they have little to do with Lao Hu, but his teammates. This guy Crawford won the best sixth man this year, and it is indeed worth celebrating.

All the NBA awards that should be given out have been given out, and all the awards that have been changed have also been taken, so the NBA playoffs will begin.

The Knicks' first opponent is naturally the already very familiar Toronto Raptors.

On the evening of the 22nd, at Madison Square Garden, the Knicks faced the Raptors.

"GO! Knicks! GO! Knicks..."

"RUN! FOREST! ​​RUN!..."

Fans in New York were loudly cheering for the home team and Hu Lin, and the Knicks were also moving forward on the scene, and the Raptors had no way to stop them.

Just now, when the Raptors were attacking, Hu Lin judged ahead of time and intercepted the ball passed to Bosh.

In this situation, it was natural to break fast immediately, and Lao Hu naturally did not have any delay, and Nate and Lao Li were also running forward.

Lao Hu is advancing, and there is only TJ Ford in front of him. Now it is a fast break, and everyone's matchup is chaotic.

bang, bang...

With a quick dribble and a few strides, Lao Hu entered the danger zone.

It seems that TJ Ford is not the opponent of the Chinese, so Bosh immediately went to help, Bosh's strong athletic ability, which allows him to withdraw immediately.

Sure enough, I was fooled!

With a creak, Lao Hu immediately made an emergency stop, but this emergency stop was not an ordinary emergency stop, it was also accompanied by a small turn.

Then, like a postman throwing a package, Lao Hu threw the ball in his hand to Lao Li who followed behind.

Kuang Ang!

Lao Li was also unambiguous, and he just got up and dunked vigorously!

62比52，时间是第三节的6分07秒，尼克斯终于在这一场把分差拉大到了10分。

In fact, this game was the first playoff game for many Knicks after all, so everyone was a little nervous at the beginning, but they quickly adjusted, because the opponent was the same.

So, after two quarters of adjustments, the Knicks finally began to dominate the game.

This is the first playoff game between the two sides. Although it is an away game, the Raptors do not want to give up easily. They tried to make up the gap in the score with substitute players at the end of the third quarter, but the Knicks' substitutes did not give up. They have this opportunity.

Calderon, Humphries mainly off the bench performed very well, but the Knicks also performed well off the bench.

Crawford and the comeback Ah Q also had a good three-point performance. Therefore, the substitutes of the two sides did not narrow the gap in the score much.

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the Knicks beat the Raptors 103-91 for their first victory of the playoffs.
