Chapter 270 Best Defensive Player: Li Lei
Subsequently, the Clippers eliminated the Nuggets 4-1.

But Melon's spell in the first round continues.

The Spurs eliminated the Kings 4-2.

Although this group of duels was scary, it was not dangerous.

The Spurs old thief is as stable as an old dog.

The Suns eliminated the Lakers 4-3.

After the Lakers lost the first game, they pulled three games in a row.

But then, the Suns broke out completely. They scored 114, 126, and 121 points in the last three games, which made the Lakers lose their temper.

This kind of high score should not have existed in the playoffs at the beginning of the century.

Everyone gets more than 80 or 90, but you cut more than 120, which is too weird.

But this is the Suns at the beginning of the century, with a 7-second offense, leading the league.

The Nets eliminated the Pacers 4-2.

The Nets Trident of Carter, Kidd, and Jefferson is still better than the Pacers who chose to rebuild.

Pistons 4 to 3 Magic.

This group of duels attracted countless fans.

In the end, the Pistons, a traditional Eastern powerhouse, had the last laugh.

Then there's Cavaliers vs Wizards.

This is the most contested group of the first-round series.

In G1, James scored 30 plus triple-doubles and led the Cavaliers to their first victory.

But in G2, the Wizards started targeting.

Under the Wizards' targeting, James made 25 of 7 shots and had 10 turnovers.

The Wizards rewritten the score to a 1-1 tie.

In the crucial third game.

The two teams fought to the end, 96:95.

The Wizards led by 1 point and had the ball.

It's a pity that Arenas missed a three-pointer, giving the Cavaliers a chance.

James holds the final attack.

Facing Daniels' defense, he broke through first, was blocked by Daniels, and stopped with both hands.

But then, James started again, and after taking two steps, he jumped up and put the basketball into the basket.

Obvious walking.

However, the referee didn't blow it, but decided that 2 points were valid.

97: 96.

The Cavaliers beat the Wizards.

The Washington fans at the scene immediately booed all over the sky, but this did not make the referee change the penalty.

Because of the penalty in this game, the Wizards players were a little bit mentally broken, and they got worse and worse after that.

In the end, the Cavaliers eliminated the Wizards 4-2.

In this way, the four groups of duels in the second round were released one after another.

Heat vs Cavaliers.

Pistons vs Nets.

Spurs vs Mavericks.

Suns vs. Clippers.

As soon as the duel list came out, the fans immediately discovered a big problem.

The Spurs and Mavericks, two strong teams with 60+ wins in the West, met ahead of schedule.

The league also discovered the problem later, and there was a problem with the existing playoff matching system.

In the 03-04 season, Li Lei's rookie year in the NBA, the NBA adopted new playoff rules.

Each major division has three sub-divisions, and the champions of the three sub-divisions are the No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 seeds respectively. No matter how good the record of other teams is, they can only be ranked No. 4 or later.

Just like this year.

The Spurs and Mavericks actually belong to the same small division.

The Spurs are the minor division champions and the Western Conference champions, so they are the No. 1 seed.

The Mavericks are second in the small division and second in the West, but they can only rank fourth.

This led to an early meeting between the two strong teams in the Western Conference semifinals.

The league quickly stated that it would re-examine issues related to playoff matching.

But this season, the rules are unlikely to change.

In other words, the Spurs and Mavericks are the favorites to win the championship, and one of them will be eliminated in the conference semifinals.

……

On the Heat's side, although their hearts are higher than the sky, they are also down-to-earth.

The team, led by assistant coach Erik Spoelstra, watched tape from the Cavaliers-Wizards game.

Of course, I also saw James' controversial lore.

O'Neal clicked his lips: "This LeBron, his skills are simply rougher than mine."

Wade nodded: "The alliance really takes care of him! It's not a bragging!"

Wade poked Li Lei again: "Stone, what do you think?"

Li Lei thought for a while and said leisurely, "If Arenas makes that three-pointer, what does it matter if James' last shot counts?"

The crowd fell silent for a while.

Spoelstra clapped his hands suddenly: "Stone is right!"

"So, we have to play seriously and widen the gap. It's useless for the league to take care of him!"

"If we lead by 30 points, what's the point of conceding a few balls?"

Casually leading others by 30 points, this is something only the Heat dare to say.

But this Heat team has such confidence.

……

It was at this time that the honors of the regular season were announced one after another.

It's another harvest season!

Rookie of the Year.

Chris Paul of the Hornets averaged 16.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, 7.8 assists and 2.2 steals per game.

The first choice rate was 99.2%, and the vote rate was 55.38%. He won the best rookie trophy without any suspense.

Charlie Villanueva, who ranked second, averaged 13 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game, with a vote rate of 22.04%.

The champion Bogut averaged 9.4 points, 7 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 0.8 blocks per game, ranking only third.

All-Rookie First Team:
Andrew Bogut, Channing Frye, Chris Paul, Charlie Villanueva, Deron Williams.

All-Rookie Second Team:

Raymond Felton, Ryan Gomez, Danny Granger, Luther Head, Marvin Williams.

The best sixth man.

Mike Miller of the Grizzlies averaged 13.7 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game.

Overwhelmed Clexton, Stackhouse and McDyess to reach the top.

Most Improved Player.

鲍里斯迪奥上赛季4.8分2.6篮板2.3助攻0.6抢断0.3盖帽。

本赛季13.3分6.9篮板6.2助攻0.7抢断1盖帽。

Great progress.

David West, Nenad Kostic and Gerald Wallace won the championship.

best team.

Best lineup:
O'Neal, Nowitzki, James, Kobe, Nash.

The second team of the best team:
Big Ben, Duncan, Li Lei, Wade, Billups.

The three teams of the best team:
Yao Ming, Brand, Marion, Arenas, Iverson.

Best defensive lineup.

All-Defensive First Team:

Kobe, Kidd, Bowen, Kirilenko, Li Lei, Ben.

All-Defensive Second Team:
Artest, Camby, Duncan, Garnett, Prince.

Finally, and most importantly, two personal honors.

MVP and DPOY.

MVP.

After narrowly losing to O'Neal last year, Nash finally achieved a positive result this year.

It may be that last year's selection was a bit unfair to Nash, but this year's judges voted for Nash a lot.

He won the MVP trophy by a landslide.

Second on the MVP list, James.

Third, Nowitzki.

Fourth, Kobe.

Fifth, Billups.

Sixth, Wade.

Seventh, Duncan.

Eighth, Li Lei.

A very ridiculous thing is that the Heat team, which ranks first in the regular season in the league, has created the Heat team with the longest winning streak in NBA history. The two cores are infinitely far away from No.1.

And O'Neill didn't even make the leaderboard.

It's okay for O'Neal, after all, he was injured and missed many games, and his data has also dropped sharply.

But the statistics of Wade and Li Lei are very beautiful, and the team's record is impeccable.

Like Li Lei, one season, two 50+, steals king, top ten scoring list.

It actually ranked eighth, with less than 1% of the votes.

The Miami fans and the Chinese fans fell out directly, shouting shady.

However, some fans gave a seemingly reasonable explanation.

The three cores of the Heat did not get the MVP because of the drag of the other two.

But this explanation obviously does not satisfy the fans.

A team with 67 wins and 15 losses in the regular season, which created the longest winning streak in NBA history, did not get the MVP.

This is just a joke.

But how should I put it, Li Lei and Wade are also blessed when Nash takes away the MVP.

This season, in the 5 games Nash missed, the Suns were 0 wins and 5 losses.

What does this mean?
Nash is too important to this Suns team!
Nash sublimated this team in essence.

But the best defensive player in the end was a consolation to the Heat.

With 43.58% of the votes, Li Lei overwhelmed Omoto, Bowen, and Kirilenko and won the first DPOY trophy in his career.

In other words, Li Lei is the best defensive player this season.

NBA's first blue-collar, the first defender.

Li Lei finally got a big honor.

And this year, Li Lei was just in the third grade.
