During this period, the NBA announced the winners of a series of awards for the regular season.
D'Antoni was elected as the best coach of the 2008-2009 season. Among 128 sports media and TV commentators in the United States and Canada, 65 people voted for D'Antoni first. His performance in leading the team this year is obvious to all. In fact, last year
Mustache is qualified to win the best coach, but the Suns' record during the regular season was slightly worse than that of the Lakers, and they lost to Phil Jackson in the competition for best coach.
Ranked second is Cavaliers head coach Mike Brown, who received 41 votes. The Cavaliers have rebounded strongly this season, winning 20 more games than last season.
Phil Jackson, last season's best coach, was ranked third. The Lakers were first in the Western Conference last season and ranked second this season. In the eyes of many media, this is a step back.
This is the second time in D'Antoni's coaching career that he has been elected as the NBA's best coach. The first time was in the 2004-05 season. That year, Mustache led the Suns to a record of 62 wins and 20 losses. That year he was also the leader in run-and-gun tactics.
One year of fame.
The Sixth Man of the Year award was won by Jason Terry of the Mavericks. He represents the firepower of the Mavericks bench. He averaged 19.6 points per game this season, which most starting guards in the league cannot.
His points per game average.
The Most Improved Player award went to Daniel Granger. Granger's All-Star average of 25.8 points and 5.1 rebounds per game was the most improved player in history.
The Suns' Azubuike ranked second in both selections. Based on his data this season, the probability of winning the Best Sixth Man or Most Improved Player in other years is not low, but this season he won
The competitors are so perverted that neither of the two scoring maniacs Azubuike can squeeze out, which is a bit untimely.
Chen Yan called Azubuike in time to comfort him. Azubuike was not only his Suns teammate, but also a player under his studio.
Fortunately, Azubuike is not a player who places too much emphasis on personal honors and did not show too much sense of loss.
Azubuike feels that he is lucky enough to have gone from being an undrafted player to becoming the main rotation member of a championship team. He now has the ball to play, endorsements, and a championship. He no longer dares to ask for too much. He now just wants to play hard and down-to-earth.
, worthy of everything I have now.
The winner of the Rookie of the Year is Rose. This is an award without any suspense. Rose averaged 18.1 points and 5.7 assists per game this season. As one of the two cores, he led the Celtics back to the playoffs, both in terms of personal performance and team performance.
The record is not bad at all.
The best rookie team was also selected.
The best rookie lineup does not involve the media and is selected by the head coaches of the 30 NBA teams. According to regulations, these head coaches do not consider the position of the players when voting. They only need to select the two rookie lineups they think are the best.
Candidates identified as the first team are awarded 2 points, second team players are awarded 1 point, and the final score is used to determine the candidates for the two lineups, so it is often the case that three people in the same position are selected together.
The five players on the rookie first team are Rose, Westbrook, OJ Mayo, Beasley and Lopez.
DeAndre Jordan was selected to the second team. DeAndre Jordan served as the Suns' starting post for a long time after Stoudemire was injured. DeAndre Jordan's data began to soar during that period. After the season, he averaged 8.9 points and 7.8 rebounds per game.
With a data of 1.5 blocks, he was selected to the rookie second team along with Chen Yan’s college classmates DJ Augustin, Eric Gordon, Love and Marc Gasol.
The first team for rookies is three guards, and the second team is three insides.
The more important awards in the regular season will not be announced for a while, but after sweeping the Jazz in the first round, the majority of domestic fans are more convinced that Chen Yan will be this year's regular season MVP. Many fans feel that the regular season MVP is announced after the first round.
One round of games should have an impact on the voting. In fact, this idea is wrong. The MVP has already been voted after the regular season. It is just a delay in the announcement. Otherwise, King Nuo will not be the most embarrassing MVP in history.
Six days after the Suns swept their opponents, the first rounds of the Eastern and Western Conference playoffs were over.
The Cavaliers swept the Pistons in straight sets, becoming the second team this season after the Suns to sweep their opponents out.
James played a dominant performance in G4, with 36 points, 13 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 steals, which completely shattered the Pistons' last bit of dignity.
Stuckey improved in this game, scoring 14 points on 7-of-14 shooting.
The efficiency is good, but the constants are obviously insufficient, and Stucky's output is not enough to serve as the backbone of a team.
Mo Williams scored 24 points in this game. James is suitable for a point guard who regards offense as his first priority. James himself is an organization-oriented forward. If there is another organization guard, it will seem a bit overlapping.
Another strong team in the Eastern Conference, the Magic, lived up to expectations. After losing their home court advantage, they made timely adjustments and finally defeated the 76ers with a total score of 4-2, successfully making a comeback and advancing to the second round!
The other two games in the Eastern Conference both reached tiebreakers. The Hawks defeated the Bulls 96-86 at home and eliminated their opponents with a total score of 4-3.
In singles, Joe showed off his strength in the last game, scoring 30 points and 7 rebounds. He scored 13 points in the final quarter and successfully took away the game.
The Bulls lost as a whole, and every player was at fault. Ben Gordon was too soft in critical moments, Westbrook was too impulsive in RBI, Terrence Thomas was brainless, and the Arab League had 2 points, 1 rebound and 2 turnovers in the last game. His contribution was
Negative.
At this point, except for Chen Yan, all Chinese players who can play in the NBA have gone home to fish.
In addition to the Suns, Lakers and Mavericks in the Western Conference, the other team that advanced to the second round was the Nuggets. These teams that advanced were pretty much what fans predicted.
The Nuggets' defeat of the Spurs was not an upset, because Ginobili's injury caused the Spurs to lack firepower on the offensive end. Although Duncan risked his life and scored 30 points in g5, and Parker also scored 26 points, no other Spurs player scored in double figures.
, ultimately lost the fifth game 93-101, and were eliminated with a total score of 1-4.
The second round is about to begin, and the Suns coaching staff has been studying their opponents and tactics during this period.
The Mavericks' overall strength is stronger than the Trail Blazers, but the Suns prefer to face the Mavericks than the Trail Blazers.
The NBA is like a food chain, with all kinds of restraints. What the Mavericks fear most is a team that keeps raining down three-pointers. This is how they were eliminated by the Warriors back then.
Today's Suns are the plus version of the Warriors. They have better stars, more stable shooting, and more mature running and gunning.
Against the Mavericks, what the Suns will have to do is run and gun resolutely and shoot boldly. The earlier they go "crazy", the greater the chance of success.
