This Forward is Not Serious

The Knicks ranked second in the East with 62 wins.

James also played a very brilliant season. He averaged 26.7 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 8.7 assists per game. He shot 51.2% from the field and made a career high of 40.6% from three-pointers.

It is worth mentioning that after the trade to Prince and the comeback of Bogut, the Knicks won 18 of 20 games and had an 11-game winning streak.

This "6-star" Knicks lineup is horrible enough to be included in the discussion of the best team in history.

The Celtics ranked third in the East with 60 wins.

Rondo's injury has had a greater impact on the Celtics than expected.

This small follower who followed the Big Three at the time has become the top 3 point guard in the league.

The Pacers ranked fourth in the East with 52 wins.

Granger was stepped in the playoffs last season and took a summer break before returning.

But after coming back, he played a few games and was reimbursed for the season.

However, this has fulfilled Paul George, who averaged 18 points, 7.6 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game, successfully progressing from a 3D player to an All-Star player.

And the most important thing is that he has defense. The NBA does not lack offensive stars, but there are too few super giants with both offensive and defensive capabilities.

This is the main reason why Hayward, who has similar data, is not as good as George.

In addition, the third-year second-round pick Lance Stephenson also seized the opportunity and made triple-doubles several times this season.

The Bulls ranked fifth in the East with 48 wins.

After Rose was injured, the Bulls signed Nate Robinson instead.

Robinson also played a very good performance, averaging 13.1 points and 4.4 assists per game, both in terms of data and shooting percentage, setting a new high in recent seasons.

But the Bulls' final record also shows that Rose is irreplaceable.

The Hawks ranked sixth with 46 wins.

The Heat ranked seventh with a record of 45 wins.

The Cavaliers ranked eighth with 43 wins.

Varejao was once again reimbursed by an injury season, which damaged the Cavaliers' internal strength. Although rookie Taylor Zeller came up, he was obviously not experienced enough.

The double gun firepower, but it is not good at defense, this is somewhat similar to the golden double gun of the year.

If the Cavaliers want to build a team around the two guns, strengthening the inside line will be the way they must go.

The first round of the Eastern Conference: Nets VS Cavaliers, Knicks VS Heat, Celtics VS Hawks, Pacers VS Bulls;

The East and West rankings and matchups are determined, but there are still two days before the start of the game.

As always, the league will also award the first batch of awards of the season at this stage: Best Sixth Man, Most Improved Award, and Best Head Coach.

This year's best head coach has become particularly noticeable.

The reason is naturally Sloan.

Sloan is one of the most well-known head coaches in NBA history, but his coaching career for more than 20 years has never had a trophy for the best head coach.

This is not because of the Bulls, but the best head coach is also known as the "most improved coach."

Look at Phil Jackson so many championships, but he has only one best head coach in his career.

The team is strong. If it wasn't for the first year of leading the team to have good luck, it would probably be like them.

But this time, the voice of the fans was exceptionally high.

Because Sloan really deserves a best coach this time!

The day before the start of the playoffs, the league will announce the final results of the selection.

Of course, the discussion was hot, but Sloan didn't care at all. He still took the team's daily training, and rarely said some words of encouragement after the training.

The regular season is just foreplay, and the playoffs are the subject.

"Lin, do you think it will be Jerry in the end?"

As soon as Sloan left, Deron couldn't help but discuss with Lin Ying.

Deron also averaged 19+8 per game this season, and the key is to play hard.

His defensive effort this season is more impressive than his offensive performance.

His struggle was to prove himself in front of Sloan again, and of course he also wanted to win this honor for Sloan.

Perhaps only in this way can he feel that he has made some remedies for the mistakes he made in the past.

"Do not worry."

Lin Ying patted Delong on the shoulder.

This time Sloan's probability is too great.

It's not because of feelings, but there is no reason not to give it.

The best coach of the year in history is Karl, who led the Nuggets to the fastest improvement from 38 wins to 57 wins.

But now Carl is still resting at home, and there is no fastest-improving coach this year.

The only one who reluctantly agrees should be Byron Scott of the Cavaliers.

But the Cavaliers did not perform well after the All-Star game, and their record dropped to eighth.

In contrast, Sloan brought the 56-win Nets directly to 66 wins.

And there is another point that is easily overlooked. Although Sloan did not deliberately do it, because he had a good time with the Nets, he smiled from time to time at press conferences, which made his impression of reporters much better. .

After all, the result of this vote was voted by the reporter after all.

"Out!"

At this moment, Claude yelled suddenly.

What came out?

Of course, the results of the first batch of awards of the season came out!

Best sixth man, Clippers Jamal Crawford.

The Clippers have a good record, Crawford averaged 16.5 points per game.

It is worth mentioning that this is the second time he has honored this award in his career.

In the 2009~2010 season, he once won this honor in the Eagles.

Most Improved Award, Paul George.

From role players to All-Stars, the average points per game have also increased by 5+, George's performance is fully worthy of this honor.

"It's Coach Sloan!"

Crowder then called out the results of the selection of the best coach.

As many people expected, Sloan was elected the best head coach!

At the moment when he heard the result, Deron took a long breath, then sat there smiling like a fool.

Then he smiled and wiped the corners of his eyes unconsciously.

Lin Ying turned her head and saw Delong's eyes were red, came over and patted him on the shoulder.

"This is just the beginning."

Yes, it's just the beginning.

Outsiders care about this award, because it makes up for the regrets of many people.

But Sloan shouldn't care, the old handsome always wanted only one thing.

But this is a start, a very good start.

Deron nodded, and when he stood up again, his red eyes looked like burning fighting spirit.

Come on, he must do it this time!

…

Cleveland, what a depression!

Sitting on the top-floor balcony of the arena, looking at Lake Erie in the distance, and the Cuyahoga River that flows down Lake Erie, Harden inevitably felt emotional.

He thought Oklahoma was small enough, but Cleveland was even smaller, and the key is the invisible but tangible depression.

It was originally an industrial city, but after the development of science and technology, the industrial city became a symbol of backwardness.

Like a witness to history, but also like a remnant of history.

This is true in Detroit, and so is Cleveland.

He inevitably thought of another James who played here before.

If you are your own, you should also want to change places after playing for so long.

As long as it is a human, who would not yearn to go to a big city.

The money earned is one aspect, and more importantly, there are many things that cannot be replaced in big cities.

For example, fat buttocks.

He shook his head, not knowing how to think of this.

"James, you are here."

At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind.

It turned out that Owen was here.

Owen said, jumping and sitting next to Harden, then looked into the distance together.

"It's so beautiful!"

Unlike Harden, Owen prefers nature. He even likes to read some weird books, thinking that people are created by God.

So what he sighed was not the desolation in front of him, but the beauty in the distance.

But he and Harden have one thing in common, they both need to prove themselves.

Harden wants to prove that the Thunder got him wrong, while Irving wants to prove that he is no worse than the former James.

"If we can complete the black eight, I believe they will treat us differently."

Owen retracted his gaze from a distance, put his hands on each side, and turned to look at Harden.

"Kevin said that LinK is the only player he has seen to work harder than him."

Scenery is often because of love, which is also the same scene, the reason why Harden and Owen see completely different moods.

Harden's pessimism is not only due to his own situation, but also because of the opponents he will face in the upcoming playoffs.

If it wasn't for Varejao's injury, if they could do better, they wouldn't have met Lin Ying and the Nets in the first round.

"We have a chance. Coach Scott didn't say that we are the best backcourt he has ever seen. He is a three-time NBA champion or the best coach. You can't get it wrong."

Owen said with a smile.

"Scott..."

Harden's mouth twitched.

Irving is right. Scott is very successful and is a very good coach for players.

But he doesn't know why such a good coach, most of the time, stands on the sidelines as a sportsman.

This is very different from the Brooks coach who coached him before.

"Yes, we have a chance."

But in the end, Harden also said confidently.

Regardless of whether he can win the Nets or not, he has to do his best to show himself.

He doesn't want to stay in such a place all the time, he also wants to go to a bigger stage like the last James.

…

On April 18, the playoffs officially kicked off.

The Eastern Conference is ahead, and the Pacers and Bulls are the first to start.

The Pacers beat the Bulls by 20 points in the first half.

Although Granger is missing as in history, this Pacers made it to the Eastern Finals in history, and only lost in seven games against the Heat at the time!

Whether it is configuration or combat power, the Pacers are better than the Bulls without Rose and then without Jimmy Butler.

Only half of the game was played over there, and the Nets and Cavaliers game is about to begin.

Although it was the first round, it was the first to play eighth, but this game still received a lot of attention.

It's not because of the Cavaliers, but there will be Sloan's best coach award ceremony before the game!

Although Sloan didn't care about this award so much, he couldn't help the fans to care about it!

In the past two days, social media has been turned over because of this incident.

Is it just Sloan's regret to make up? That is the obsession of many people!

Therefore, the fans are concerned, the Barclays Center is also full of attendance, and the passage is crowded with many people.

An hour before the start of the game, the arena was already full.

When the warm-ups on both sides were about the same, the venue was set up and Stern walked to the center of the court, the cheers on the scene were already overwhelming.

Stern smiled and shook hands with Sloan.

Although this award is not determined by him, this result is what he likes to see.

The basketball game is nothing more than passion and passion.

Now what is more caring than Sloan, a coach who can enter the history of the best coaching candidate, and get the first best coach championship trophy of his career?

Before announcing the result, Stern picked up the trophy and looked at Sloan with a smile.

"Jerry, the league owes you a trophy for the best coach."

As soon as this sentence came out, the cheers rose by several decibels in an instant.

This sentence is a mess.

But it was different from Stern's mouth.

After all, this award is not determined by him, but what he said shows that he is also happy for Sloan from the bottom of his heart.

Sloan's expression didn't change much, he just said thank you politely.

Then when Stern announced that the best head coach of the NBA in 2013 was Sloan, there was a uniform cheer on the scene.

What they were calling at this time was not Sloan's name, but Sloan's nickname.

【pope】!

Sloan coached in Utah for 20 years and led the team to the Finals twice. He is one of the greatest coaches in the history of the Jazz.

Because Utah is a city founded by Mormon believers, the churches there are the most. UU Reading www.uukａnshu.com

The origin of his nickname is easy to explain.

At this time, the fans shouted this nickname, not only for Sloan's coaching with the Nets this season, but also for his 20 years of coaching with the Jazz!

Sloan, moved.

Although he doesn't care about this award, he doesn't care what the outside world or the world thinks of him.

But the human heart is not iron. When everything you do is affirmed by so many people, how can you not feel sore in the corners of your nose.

Driven by this emotion, the old man took the trophy and bowed deeply to the fans.

Thank you, dear fans, for your affirmation.

No one thought of this move, but the cheers and applause at the scene were even greater.

Stern also clapped vigorously with a smile.

For the Nets' bench, Deron couldn't help rubbing his eyes again at this time.

He must win this championship, even if it is his career that he has missed!

Amidst cheers and applause, Sloan walked back to the bench with the trophy.

He handed the trophy to his old subordinate Phil Johnson, and then sat down to calm his mood.

He doesn't want his emotions to affect the next game. As a coach, he needs to maintain absolute commitment.

The cheers and applause also continued for a while and then fell.

Immediately afterwards, is the appearance ceremony.

The two teams started to debut one after another.

Cavaliers: Irving, Harden, Alonzo Key, Tristan Thompson, Taylor Zeller

Nets: Deron, Joe Johnson, Lin Ying, Yi Jianlian, Chandler

The game will begin immediately.

Sloan didn't start on the bench as usual, but stood directly on the sidelines.
