After the confession failed, I went to the NBA to play and lose weight

Chapter 240
In the 2007-08 season, the NBA's best rookie, and also the best player in the 07 rookie season, was Li Chengming, who was from Huaguo and ranked 60th overall in the draft.

He overwhelmed Durant, who averaged 20.4 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game, and got the most first votes. With the advantage of more than 100 points in total points, he won this award without much suspense. The awards that have been set are truly well-deserved.

It is said that many people still admire Durant in the middle of the regular season. It can only be said that Li Chengming has indeed convinced many people with his personal performance and made them change their minds.

Not only did he successfully increase his scoring average to 20 at the end of the season, which is only slightly behind Durant, but he is also stronger than Durant in basic data such as rebounds, assists, and blocks. The number of quasi-triple-doubles, true hits, offensive and even defensive efficiency, victory contribution and other advanced and subsequent high-level statistics are also incomparable to Durant.

Even in scoring, which Durant is best at, the highest score of this rookie is Li Chengming, and he is the one with the most 40+ and 30+ scores. Due to the distribution of shooting rights for the Magic, Li Chengming did not have as many scoring opportunities as Durant.

But from the perspective of shooting percentage and net efficiency, Durant is undoubtedly a younger brother.

If the final result of the best rookie is not Li Chengming, it is estimated that the controversy between Yao and Stoudemire, James and Anthony is even greater.

The outside world now regards Li Chengming as the biggest surprise of the Magic team this season, and it is also a key factor for the Magic team's record to soar and reborn this season.

And although the performance in the playoffs will not be included in the selection of the regular season, it will undoubtedly affect the impression points of the outside world.

There is no doubt that Li Chengming's current performance in the playoffs is also worthy of the title of the best rookie.

Probably the top management of the league should also be thankful that they finally chose Li Chengming instead of Durant. Otherwise, the playoffs will go all the way. As long as the Magic is not eliminated and Li Chengming is still playing, he will probably have to be ridiculed all the way. up.

Of course, the results of some individual items are directly clear at the end of the regular season, such as scoring leader James, rebounding leader Howard, assists leader Paul, block leader Camby, steals leader Paul, etc. These directly rely on the data to speak, as long as they reach After a certain number of games, the highest average per game can be won.

In addition to being the leader in rebounds, Howard also ranks in the top five in the block list. The reason why he did not rank first is indeed because the data is not high enough, but presumably not many people think that his deterrence in the penalty area is not as good as Camby, more Not to mention his excellent ability to sweep the defense.

This season, the Magic's defense is basically supported by him. The Magic's defensive efficiency is only lower than the Celtics and the Lakers after the trade to Gasol, so he was able to get DPOY.

On May 5, the first round of the game was all over. Except for two sweeps, the fourth and fifth place games in the East and West ended 2:4, and the Cavaliers and Jazz advanced successfully.

The "Troika" of the Wizards, like the Nuggets, also had a disappointing season. The impact of injuries is not insignificant. Although all three of them played in the playoffs, the impact of injuries is still there , including factors such as running-in.

As for Houston, McGrady played his superstar ability in the last game and almost scored 40 points, but his teammates who have always been tough couldn't help at this critical moment. The offense was in a mess, and the Jazz played the series instead. The best offense, it's no surprise to get eliminated.

It can only be said that we will fight again next year when Dayao comes back.

The Green Army and the Raptors also advanced 4:2. The Raptors completed an amazing game, especially Bosh's average performance of 25+11 per game was surprising. In the sixth game, he scored 27 points and 13 rebounds. Wallace, who scored 9 points and 7 rebounds, became the key to the Raptors' victory.

For a while, the King of the North was in the limelight, and it was rare to squeeze into the vision of many fans who had never paid attention to the Raptors.

In the remaining two rounds of the series in the West, the Spurs and Hornets also advanced 4:1. Although the Suns and Mavericks have traded during the season, O'Neal and Kidd are obviously not enough to make them reborn immediately. These two are already veterans who have declined significantly.

The day after all the games in the first round ended, that is, on May 5, the second round of the playoffs began immediately.

The first thing to do is the game between the Hornets and the Spurs, and then the Celtics and the Raptors. Both are quite interesting.

In the end, it was surprising that both sides had an upset. The Hornets beat the Spurs 101:82. What is unexpected is that Parker and Paul have their own brilliance, but Duncan, who is considered the most stable, was defeated by David West. exploded.

韦斯特砍下30分9篮板，邓肯却是9中1只得5分3篮板，堪称大拉胯，也令人大跌眼镜。

The Spurs rely on the cornerstone of GDP, and Duncan is the foundation. If the foundation is broken, it is naturally impossible to win.

However, the result of this game is not something that no one can imagine. After all, although the two teams have the same record in the regular season, the Hornets ranked second based on the relationship between the outcome and the home court advantage. The strength is very strong, and it is normal for the older generation of players to be unable to withstand it.

It’s just that no one could have imagined that they would lose in this way. Duncan’s performance was obviously beyond most people’s expectations. After all, in the series against the Suns, he was still a star insider who averaged 20+10 per game. .

However, the gap between the two teams is almost the same. The Spurs can rely more on the experience of the players. It is reasonable to see who wins and who loses; but the Celtics and the Raptors are definitely a big upset. .

After all, the difference in wins between the two teams in the regular season has reached 20+ games, and the strength lies there.

However, considering that the Raptors only overturned the Magic before, it seems understandable again.

The scores on both sides are actually not high in this game, and the shooting percentages of both teams can only reach [-]%.

Of course, for many people who watched the game, the perception of this game was not that bad. Although there were many strikes, the game actually went smoothly, and the defenses of both sides were indeed full.

The Celtics had more problems on the offensive end. The defensive pressure they put on the Raptors was still in place. No one on the Raptors side scored 20 points, but 6 scored in double figures. This is a victory won by the strength of the team. game victory.

Here in the Celtics, Garnett scored 27 points and 10 rebounds, but only Rondo and Cassel scored double figures.

皮尔斯15中3仅得6分6篮板5助攻，但同时还有6次失误，雷阿伦更是只有4次出手无一命中，得分居然挂零，而且也有4次失误。

Only one of the Big Three played normally, and Garnett was supposed to be based on defense, and the other players couldn't stand up to help, and couldn't play offensively. It would be strange not to lose this kind of game.

In fact, the Celtics have had similar situations in their offense this season. They have a strong card lineup, but the results are somewhat disappointing. Most of the time, they still rely on defense to solve problems.

In short, there is a kind of meaning of "I don't know how to attack and you don't understand", and the two sides engage in a blacksmithing battle, and then "defeat each other with rich experience in blacksmithing".

However, it was the head coach Rivers who was first criticized after the game. Many people think that the downturn of most of the Celtics players in this game is justifiable. First, the veterans played too many games and consumed too much. Second, the last game just ended two days ago. For the Green Army, it seems that they did not recover so quickly.

One is the reason of accumulation, and the other is short-term consumption. It must be said that it will have an impact, but is there such a big impact?

But it's common for fans to blame coaches in the NBA, especially fans of stars. You can't say that my idol is not good, right?

What's more, Rivers is indeed very problematic. Not to mention the regular season, in the previous game when Pierce missed the tie, Rivers made a lot of substitutions and timeouts. Going over, a victory wasted, otherwise the Green Army still hope to resolve the battle within five games, and then take a good rest to prepare for this battle, maybe the result will be different.
