Chapter 243 Semifinals

After the first round of fighting, the Celtics entered a long rest period.

During this period of time, the battles of other groups were still going on. The fourth game between the Pacers and Cavaliers started in Cleveland. In the end, the result of this game was that the Pacers won and they successfully entered the Eastern Conference semifinals. One day later, The Eagles defeated the Heat at home and also advanced to the Eastern Conference semifinals 3:1. In this way, the Eastern Conference faced off in four groups. After 4 games, all the winners were determined.

The Celtics will face the Bulls away, while the Pacers will face the Eagles at home.However, the schedule for the semifinals has not yet been released, because they still have to wait for the final result in the West.

In the west, the Jazz advanced early, but their opponents, the Spurs and the Suns, tied in the fourth game. The Suns defeated the Spurs and tied the total score 2:2, and the fifth game will be played!As for the other side, the Sonics beat the Timberwolves away and advanced to the next round 3:1, while the Lakers defeated the Trail Blazers and also advanced to the next round 3:1.In this way, there will also be a set of matchups in the Western Conference semifinals, and the Lakers will face the Sonics in the semifinals.

During this period of time, the league did not waste time, and successively announced the winners of the best sixth man and the best defensive player.

The best sixth man is Danny Manning of the Suns. As the hope of the Clippers, Danny Manning is no longer the power forward who can average 20 points per game. However, in the past few years in the Suns, Let Danny Manning learn to stand up from the bench and score. Danny Manning played 70 games this season, only 11 of which were starts, averaging 13.5 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 steals per game. As a backup power forward, Danny Manning played very well.

Danny Manning received the official award on his own home court, and then he defeated the Spurs with the team, tied the total score at 2:2, and became the only group in the first round to reach the fifth game A set of duels.

The best defensive player was finally taken away by Dikembe Mutombo. Uncle Mu attended 82 games this season, averaged 13.4 points, 11.4 rebounds and 3.4 blocks per game, and finally won the honor of best defensive player.In fact, Ben Wallace of the Celtics also has a chance to win this award. This season, after moving to the Celtics, Ben Wallace averaged 4.6 points, 12.7 rebounds and 2.7 blocks per game. Big Ben has more rebounds than Dikembe Mutombo and slightly fewer blocks.

If we talk about where Daben lost, then it should be in scoring and the team's overall defense. Daben has not been fully utilized by the team, but because the team really lacks a player who can protect the basket. As a player, Big Ben won so many rebounds and blocks.And Big Ben's rebounds in the regular season this season finally ranked third in the league, second only to Dennis Rodman and Jason Williams of the Nets.

Blocks are fifth, behind Marcus Camby, Dikembe Mutombo, Sean Bradley and Theo Ratliff.

After the honor of the best defensive player is decided, two important honors will be announced next, one is the best rookie, and the other is the regular season mvp.

There is no doubt about the honor of the best rookie. Tim Duncan, who averaged 21.1 points, 11.9 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.5 blocks in the regular season, is 100% sure that he will get this honor.

而常规赛mvp则还有些疑问，常规赛场均可以得到37.8分5.2个篮板9.6个助攻3.2个抢断以及1.2记盖帽的乔尼李，加上凯尔特人超50胜的常规赛战绩，可以说乔尼李是很有机会得到这个最具含金量的荣誉的。

You know, this season, the Celtics have achieved 54 regular season wins. Compared with last season's 15 regular season wins, the Celtics have directly improved by 39 wins under the leadership of Jonny Lee. , Such a huge improvement, obviously Jonny Lee has contributed a lot.

And Jonny's scoring average is as high as 37.8 points, which is much higher than Michael Jordan, who is second in the league. Michael Jordan averaged 28.7 points per game in the regular season, and was almost opened by Jonny by 10 points.Averaged 9.6 assists per game, ranking second in the league, second only to Rod Strickland of the Wizards, and Jonny's assists are obviously much more useful than Rod Strickland who brushed data .

In addition, the average of 3.2 steals per game is also much higher than the No.2 Mucci Blaylock, and the second Mucci Blaylock has an average of only 2.6 steals per game.

Jonny's luxurious statistics also gave him the confidence to compete for the mvp of the regular season.

The only disadvantage for Johnny is that this season is Michael Jordan's last season, the last season of the basketball god, if there is no regular season mvp to see him off, it is obviously not interesting enough.

Therefore, Jonny also had to guard against the possibility that the league would give this mvp to Michael Jordan to see him off.And this possibility is very high, the All-Star mvp has been given away before, and there will be a regular season mvp.

Just as the Celtics were nervously preparing for the next round of the series, the final game between the Suns and the Spurs also decided the outcome. The Spurs were slightly better, won the fifth game, and advanced to the next round. Will face the Jazz in the Western Conference semifinals.

The first game of the Eastern and Western semifinals will be played on May 5, and the Celtics only have two days of preparation time left.

In the past two days, the league announced the winner of the best manager, Michael Leon Carr of the Celtics, and finally won the honor of the best manager.This season, there are not many general managers who have come up with beautiful transfer operations. Michael Leon Carr’s biggest competitor is actually Cavaliers general manager Wayne Embree. Embree’s best operation this season is to trade Sean Can general.

But everyone knows that Sean Kemp has gone downhill. This transaction can be regarded as a very beautiful transaction, but in general, the gold content of the transaction is still a little bit worse.

Compared with the Celtics' deal, in exchange for Jonny Lee's deal, it's even worse.

The Celtics' beautiful deals this season are not limited to Jonny's deal. They signed Bruce Bowen for free, exchanged for Ben Wallace, and got Derek Coleman in a big deal in the middle of the season. These transactions have greatly improved the strength of the team.

The visa-free Bruce Bowen has become the Celtics' outside gate.The big book in exchange has become the gate of the team's inside line.And the much-criticized Derek Coleman, after coming to the Celtics, averaged 18+10 per game. This deal is naturally very good in terms of results.

More importantly, the Celtics have made a lot of money in every transaction. David Wesley and others exchanged for Jonny Lee, earning draft picks and a cornerstone player, Derek Cole Mann's deal also made money in draft picks. Overall, the Celtics made a lot of money.This recent manager, it's hard not to give it to Michael Leon Carr!
