NBA Old Age Star System

Chapter 179 Regular Season Awards Released

Both sides have replaced the main lineup, and the moment of decisive battle has come.

Teague first came to the frontcourt with the ball, cooperated with Horford in a pick-and-roll, and passed the ball to Millsap who was cutting in the air.

Millsap received the ball and made a layup, which was interfered by Thompson who was helping to defend, but the rebound was grabbed by Horford.

Horford got the rebound and made another shot.

The point difference came to 9 points.

The ball is switched, and it's the Cavaliers' turn to attack.

Owen pushed the ball to the frontcourt and gave the ball directly to Su Tian. The first half of the fourth quarter was originally Su Tian's time, and it was also a time for other main teammates to rest.

Su Tian received the ball, faced Bazemore's defense, and called Love for a pick-and-roll.

Swah——

Su Tian successfully returned a ball.

So in the next few rounds, the score between the Eagles and the Cavaliers began to fall into a stalemate. The main force of the Eagles was affected by their physical strength and failed to play their best form.

On the Cavaliers' side, Su Tian took the lead with the ball, and the others acted as assistants, without much effort.

Soon the game came to the last 3 minutes. At this time, the two teams still maintained a 6-point difference. The Eagles obviously had a physical crisis, but the Cavaliers had already rested.

So, in the next few rounds, James and Irving took turns to work hard, and Su Tian turned to be his deputy, leaving the stage to the two big shots.

Although there are still a lot of points difference at this time, the Eagles have persisted and have not given up, and the main lineup has persisted until the end of the game.

At the end of the final game, the Cavaliers defeated the Eagles 109-99 and successfully won the fourth victory of the series!

At the same time, the Cavaliers swept their opponents 4-0 in two consecutive rounds!

This sweeping momentum can't help but remind fans of the Cavaliers last year.

Therefore, after this game, many fans are discussing the possibility of the Cavaliers successfully defending their title.

As for why it is not 100%, it is mainly because the Warriors' regular season this season is too strong, breaking the Bulls' record of 72 wins. If this cannot win the championship, it will be big news.

In this game, the highest scorer was Love, who scored 27 points, 13 rebounds and 4 assists, and made 15 of 8 three-pointers, showing a strong performance.

但是本场最佳依然是詹姆斯，全场拿下21分10篮板9助攻2抢断1盖帽，一份准三双的数据。

Su Tian's performance was not bad either, maintaining the honor of the highest assist, scoring 18 points, 12 assists, 3 rebounds and 2 steals.

On the second day after the game with the Eagles, the Cavaliers returned to Cleveland, and Tyronn Lue announced a day off.

The main reason is that their next opponent is a bit difficult to deliver. The Heat and the Raptors are fighting like a raging fire, and the battle is inextricable.

But the harder they play, the more advantage the Cavaliers have.

On May 5, the fifth game between the Heat and the Raptors, which is also the battle of Tianwangshan in this round of the series, officially began.

The game was played at the Raptors' home court, and Su Tian watched the game at home.

Both sides have adjusted the starting lineup, but the theme has not changed, and the core of the offense has not changed.

At the beginning of the game, the Raptors took the lead, and DeRozan made consecutive shots to give the Raptors the lead.

At the end of the first quarter, the Raptors led the Heat by 28 points 18-10.

In the second quarter, the Heat began to make efforts to adjust their status gradually, and began to tie with the Raptors, but because the Raptors had a point difference advantage, the Raptors still led at the end of the first half.

In the third quarter, both sides began to be affected by physical factors, and the efficiency began to decline inevitably.

Finally, at the end of the third quarter, the point difference between the two sides still did not change much, and the score fell into a stalemate.

In the fourth quarter, Wade began to try to activate his teammates, broke through and gave the ball to the outside, which really allowed Wade to find a chance, assisting Josh Richardson with 3 of 2 from outside the three-point line, allowing the Heat to recover some points.

But the Heat have surprise players, and the Raptors have a backcourt combination that performed exceptionally. Lowry grabbed several rebounds in a row, allowing the Raptors to form a fast break. Although they failed to score all of them, they also assisted DeRozan to cause damage.

In the end, the game was over, and the Raptors finally won the game by relying on the score advantage in the first quarter. They successfully won Tianwangshan in the series 99-91.

In this game, the Raptors can be said to have given their all, and the backcourt combination performed exceptionally. DeRozan scored 34 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals. Not only was the highest score in the game, he even hit a three-pointer.

洛瑞全场拿下25分10篮板6助攻3抢断1盖帽的全面数据。

The Raptors also relied on the extraordinary performance of Lowry and DeRozan to successfully take the initiative in the series.

After reading it, Su Tian also confirmed that there is a clear gap between the Raptors and the Cavaliers at this stage. Not only is the Cavaliers dominant on the front line, but Su Tian also has the confidence to form a match against DeRozan on the back line.

Su Tian is confident in his defense and can effectively defend DeRozan in the first three quarters. In the fourth quarter, Su Tian is also confident that DeRozan can't defend himself.

There was also a game in the Western Conference on this day, the Warriors' fifth game against the Trail Blazers.

The Warriors already led 3-1 before the game, and this game is likely to be the deciding game.

Moreover, all the main players on the Warriors' side have returned, and the lineup is neat, and they have become more confident against the Trail Blazers.

So everyone generally believes that there is no suspense in this game, and the Warriors will advance smoothly at home.

But beyond everyone's expectations, the two teams have been entangled until the last moment.

Even at the end of the first half, the Blazers led the Warriors by 5 points.

In the third quarter, Cole resorted to a five-death lineup, successfully overtaking the score in just one quarter, and leading the Blazers by 2 points with a backhand.

The offensive firepower of the Death Five has amazed the entire league.

In the fourth quarter, the bayonets of the two teams saw red, and the score changed back and forth. No one knew who the final winner was.

Until the last critical moment, relying on Curry's two consecutive three-pointers, the Warriors finally won the game with difficulty.

This game also made many fans feel frightened, and it also proved that the strength of the Blazers cannot be underestimated.

The Warriors finally won the series against the Trail Blazers with a big score of 4-1 and successfully entered the Western Conference Finals.

It is worth mentioning that before the start of the game between the Warriors and the Trail Blazers, Curry received the second regular season MVP trophy of his career at home, and was the first regular season MVP in NBA history to receive all the first votes. Also known as the unanimous MVP.

At the same time, the head coach of the Warriors, Steve Kerr, also won the best head coach of the season. Kerr became the first Warriors coach to be the head coach of the year after Don Nelson in 1992.

There are also some less important awards, such as the Ethics Award won by Mike Conley of the Grizzlies, and the best general manager was won by Buford, the general manager of the Spurs.

The Most Improved Player Award was won by McCollum in the just-eliminated Trail Blazers.

This season is the third season of McCollum's career, during which he has been playing for the Portland Trail Blazers.

After the Blazers left 4 starts last summer, McCallum got a chance to start.His playing time has doubled, from 15.7 last season to 34.7, but his numbers are growing faster than his minutes:
场均得分从6.8增涨到20.8，助攻从1.0增涨到4.3，篮板从1.5增涨到3.2，抢断从0.7增涨到1.2。

Together with Lillard, McCollum played the role of the Blazers with two guns in the backcourt and led the team to the top 5 in the Western Conference. This is also a ranking that few people thought of at the beginning of the season.

The best sixth man award, the Clippers' Jamal Crawford was re-elected.This is the third time in his career that he has won the award, and so far the first player in NBA history to win the award three times.

And Crawford's biggest competitor is Iguodala of the Warriors, an original fmvp player.

The Defensive Player of the Year was won by Leonard of the Spurs. This is the second consecutive year he has been elected to this honor.

This season Leonard can contribute 21.2 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.8 steals and 1 block per game. Not only does he not lose his skills on the defensive end, but he also shoulders the heavy responsibility of the Spurs on the offensive end. It was his strong rise that allowed the Spurs to continue their glory.

It's just that it's unknown how long this glory will last, maybe because of Su Tian's butterfly effect, Leonard won't leave.

So far, all the honors of the regular season have basically been released, and what has not been announced is the list of the best team, and this is the honor that Su Tian is most looking forward to.

Because according to Rose's terms, only those who have been elected to the MVP during the rookie contract, or have been selected to the All-Star Game twice as a starter in the All-Star voting, or have been selected to the All-NBA Team twice (regardless of the number) Team) players are eligible to use the "Ross Clause" to get a big contract.

Su Tian was lucky to be selected to the All-Star starting lineup this season, but it might not be the case next year.

Thinking of this, Su Tian gritted his teeth at Pachulia. It was this guy's malicious behavior of swiping votes this year that caused the league to revise the rules for voting for NBA All-Stars.

Adjust the votes of fans to 50%, while the votes of players and reporters each account for 25%, in order to control the suspicion of excessive fan votes.

And this rule will be officially used in the All-Star voting next year, so whether Su Tian can enter the All-Star next year is completely unknown, but if he can enter the best team for two consecutive years, it can also be applied. So Su Tian is still very concerned about the announcement of the best team.

On May 5, the sixth game between the Thunder and the Spurs started.

The score of the two teams had come to 3-2 before the game, and the Thunder had the upper hand to get the match point.

And the game seemed to set the tone from the start. At the end of the first quarter, the Thunder led the Spurs by 25 points, 19-6.

Kevin Durant's offense is unstoppable. He not only has a good shooting touch, but also plays extremely smartly. He is constantly being killed while holding the ball, which has a huge impact on the Spurs.

In the second quarter, the Thunder still maintained a strong offensive firepower, and Westbrook was no longer in the lead, playing very steadily.

At the end of the second quarter, the score came to 55-31, and the Thunder led by 24 points. It seemed that there was no hope of winning.

But the resilience of the Spurs was beyond everyone's expectations. In the third quarter, Leonard began to take responsibility, and his mid-range shots again and again were killing people without blood.

But while the Spurs were attacking, they failed to defend well against the Thunder. The two teams began to attack soaringly, so that the two teams tied in a single quarter in the third quarter, but the point difference remained unchanged.

In the fourth quarter, the Spurs were still struggling to catch up, Durant's physical strength was affected, and his shooting percentage began to decline.

The Spurs took advantage of this opportunity to start chasing points, but it was a pity that time waited for no one, and in the end the Spurs still lost in front of the Thunder.

The Thunder successfully defeated the Spurs 113-99, entered the Western Conference Finals, and successfully joined forces with the Warriors.

When the Western Conference was in full swing, the Cavaliers were still leisurely conducting tactical training in Cleveland.

The final list of the Western Conference has been released, and the Warriors and Thunder have begun to prepare for the conference finals.

The Cavaliers are still waiting for the winner of the Raptors and Heat.

On May 5th, in the sixth game between the Heat and the Raptors, the Cavaliers stood by the TV happily, only thinking about letting the two teams quickly decide the winner.

But the Raptors were really disappointing, and finally lost to the Heat 91-103, and the two teams tied 3-3!
In other words, the two teams will have another 7-game tiebreaker!

The two teams themselves entered the second round through a tie-break of 7, and now they are going to tie-break again. I have to say that this is a big challenge for the physical strength and physical condition of the players of the two teams.

No matter who wins in the end, the ultimate winner will only be the Cavaliers.

Of course, this period of time is also very precious for the Cavaliers. It has given many veterans the opportunity to adjust their bodies, especially the return of Mozgov, which has added another guarantee to the Cavaliers.

In a blink of an eye, the time came to May 5th, the tiebreaker between the Raptors and the Heat was finally about to start, and the Cavaliers were also gathered to watch the game.

The game started soon, and the two teams went straight to the point as soon as they came up, directly putting high-intensity defense on the opponent.In order to deal with DeRozan, the Heat also put Wade back to the 2nd position to face DeRozan.

As a result, the shooting percentages of the two teams in the first quarter were not very high. At the end of the first quarter, the Raptors temporarily led the Heat by 25 point 24-1.

In the second quarter, the Raptors continued to exert their strength, especially Kyle Lowry, who was in surprisingly good form and hit two consecutive three-pointers, giving the Raptors a score advantage.

At the end of the second quarter, the score came to 53-47, and the Raptors led the Heat by 6 points.

In the third quarter, the Heat started to take the lead, and Wade kept hitting the basket with the ball. James was very moved to see Wade desperate.

James understands that Wade wants to prove himself, and it is an urgent need, even more urgent than in 06.

If Wade fails this year, then from now on, Wade will no longer have the opportunity to compete for the championship as the head star.

In other words, from the moment James came to Miami, Wade lost this opportunity.

So, in the third quarter, the Heat relied on Wade's desperate style of play and successfully scored 31 points in a single quarter.

However, the sky failed as people wished, the Heat started to attack, but the defense did not do a good job, allowing the Raptors to score 33 points in a single quarter, but the Heat fell behind by 2 points in total.

At this time, the point difference between the two teams came to 8 points. Wade looked at the Raptors with a determined expression on his face, feeling his chest that was constantly panting.

Wade knew that his time was running out.
