In addition to the potentially fast tempo caused by the first-round format, the strong teams this season have adapted to the shortening of the three-point line and the polarization of strength gaps caused by the loosening of referees' standards for penalty calls. This can also be seen in the playoffs.
? ? 3 teams have advanced to the second round in one night.
The Spurs and Trail Blazers were the only surviving series on the night of April 28.
Although the Spurs' David Robinson is injured, the Spurs are still stronger when David Robinson can stably average 20+10+3+2 per game despite the injury.
105 to 99, the Spurs came to the away game. After falling behind 1 to 1, they relied on All-Star forward Sean Elliott's 31 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 steals to score 21 points and 11 With David Robinson blocking 2 shots, the Spurs narrowly defeated the Trail Blazers, reversing the situation and making the score 2-1.
Soon, the day flew by, and on April 29th, the game day of the third game of the other 4-group series arrived.
In the morning, the Lakers came to the Sleep Train Arena to prepare for the game. Del Harris emphasized many times not to be careless.
Although it can be seen that Zhang Hao's offensive performance in the playoffs is still adapting, and Zhang Hao's defensive performance in the playoffs can be seen to improve. If he plays one or two more games, he may continue to improve. However, he can 3-0 Direct advancement, of course it is better to advance directly.
After the morning pre-match meeting and the 60-minute tactical training session, Zhang Hao stared at the TV in the lounge of the visiting team¡¯s training ground
Yesterday, the voting for the Best Rookie and Best Rookie Team ended, and the awards will be announced today.
Although I feel that I am sure of success, sure of victory, and foolproof
But when it came time to announce the awards, he was still a little nervous.
The unexpected situation did not occur. At 12 noon, the NBA official announced on the live broadcast of the American cable TV station that he, Zhang, won the best rookie!
Also announced were the All-Rookie Team.
He is the leader of the rookie first team, along with Damon Stoudemire, Michael Finley, Jerry Stackhouse, and Arvydas Sabonis.
The rookie second team is led by No. 1 pick Joe Smith. Also selected are Tyus Edney, Brent Barry, Kevin Garnett, Antonio McDyess, and Rasheed Wallace. , Bryant Levis, among which Garnett and Rasheed Wallace shared the vote, Antonio McDyess was placed at the center position, sharing the vote with Bryant Levis.
However, with this number of votes, Zhang Hao frowned when he saw the voting results switched on the TV screen after the Best Rookie and Best Team lists were announced. Jason Williams, who came to watch, spoke first: "Akers, you actually Not a unanimous vote?¡±
This is the reason why Zhang Hao frowned.
He was elected to the All-Rookie Team with 125 first-place votes. Among the 10 players selected for the All-Rookie Team, he received the highest number of votes and was the only one with a full vote.
This year¡¯s Rookie of the Year voting, there are only 125 votes among 125 voters, either calculated based on the total points or the number of votes.
In the Best Rookie voting, out of 125 votes, Zhang Hao only received 124 first-place votes!
After Jason Williams was surprised for a moment, he saw Zhang Hao's unchanged expression and thought that Zhang Hao might not care about such a trivial matter, so he complained and went to have lunch.
The rest of the Lakers are not worried at all about who will win the Rookie of the Month award. Zhang Hao has already won the Player of the Month award. It would be a damn thing if he doesn¡¯t win the Rookie of the Month award.
But, who says he doesn¡¯t care?
It is difficult to win a unanimous Rookie of the Year award. In NBA history, only Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the No. 1 pick in 1969, Ralph Sampson, the No. 1 pick in 1983, and David Robinson, the No. 1 pick in 1987, have achieved it in the 1989-90 season.
But he is quite confident that he will win the Rookie of the Year unanimously. Combining the record + data, he feels that he must have won the unanimous vote.
However, he only received 124 votes, and one vote was taken away by Damon Stoudemire!
I¡¯m really angry!
If the difference is a dozen or twenty votes, Zhang Hao may not feel anything.
But one vote short is like scoring 99 points in the exam and the one point deducted is because there is a faint mark of a pen sliding smoothly between the two dots of the colon after the "solution" of the word question!
Looking at the overwhelming awards, he received a reminder that the task was completed just when the awards were announced. However, because the TV screen switched to the vote count, his attention was attracted by the vote results.
¡°This is my stage (final): Special signing player Zhang Hao needs to prove to the fans that he is the best rookie in the 1995 class.
??Goal 1: In the next game, if Zhang Hao encounters someone with a higher ranking in the same class,?On the contrary, it gave the media a topic to speculate on, and the fans must also be very interested in who did not vote for him.
There is also the All-Rookie Team. Of the 12 players selected for the two rookie teams, 7 are insiders, and 5 of them are power forwards, which once again confirms that this is a draft year for insiders and power forwards.
This year¡¯s insiders include some with good talent and strong combat capabilities, and they are of various types. After playing for a season, many fans are indeed very interested in the future development of the insiders in this rookie class.
By 4:30 p.m., the first game on the sixth game day of this season¡¯s playoffs started, the third game of the series between the Magic and the Hawks.
The Magic team came to the away game and gave the Eagles no chance to struggle. 91 to 83, they won the game cleanly and swept the promotion 3-0!
The fourth team to advance to the second round appears.
Then the third game of the Pacers and the Pistons, the defense of the Pacers who came to the away game was very good.
Although the Pistons returned to the Palace of Auburn Hills with great momentum, Alan Houston played a weird miraculous performance of 33 points, 0 rebounds and 0 assists, Grant Hill performed very well with 13 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists, and Joe Dumars also had 15 points and 6 assists, but apart from the three of them, no Pistons player scored in double figures.
The Pacers narrowly defeated the Pistons 91-88, making the score 2-1, going from 0-1 behind to get the match point first.
When I came to Houston and was about to play against the Rockets, I saw that the other two teams that had been defeated at the beginning and fell behind 0-1 had come back. Then I looked at my own place - "We are the only ones who co-authored the clown?"
¡¡
After the two games with Anfernee Hardaway, O'Neal, and Grant Hill, the Lakers vs. Kings and Jazz vs. Rockets will start at the same time.
Both are teams in the top half of the Western Conference playoffs, the Lakers and Jazz have completely different destinies.
The Jazz trailed 0-2 and the Lakers led 2-0.
???????????????????????????????????? But they are all in away games, so the feelings are almost the same.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
The Kings were trailing 2-0, the players had no motivation, and the fans at the scene were in a very low mood. Originally, after the first game, the Sacramento fans had high expectations, but in the second game, the Kings felt like they had just given up.
The atmosphere at the Kings' home court is really normal. With a strength gap of 26 games and 60+ win teams, except for the Spurs who had David Robinson injured at the start, the other three 60+ win teams all swept through and advanced. Sorry, Kings fans really can't have confidence.
On the other hand, Houston is a magical place. It has the highest-income people in the United States, and ticket sales are also very good. However, the fans here feel that they are not coming to watch the game at all, and there is no game atmosphere at all.
So, the same situation occurred in the two stadiums - the visiting team played very well!
Since last season, the Rockets' away win rate has been higher than their home win rate. Some fans joked that the Rockets' home court is not as lively as their away games. They asked the Rockets management to please go to the scene and boo. The Rockets players now have the feeling of playing on the road. , the winning rate may increase
But tonight, the main reason is that Olajuwon's physical strength is not as sufficient as in the previous two games. While Malone scored 39 points, he only made 7 of 23 shots and only scored 18 points, 11 rebounds and 2 assists.
95 to 82, the Jazz regained a victory away from home.
On the other side, in the third game between the Lakers and Kings, which was going on at the same time, Zhang Hao made 4 of 11 shots and scored 13 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 block, and 3 steals. He didn¡¯t shoot well, but he passed the ball very well, with 6 assists. There were only 3 turnovers, a very good assist-to-turnover ratio, and his defensive performance was also good. He successfully intercepted the opponent's point guard's pass to the cutting player many times, and got 3 steals.
Together with Van Exel¡¯s 27 points and 4 assists, Magic¡¯s 18 points and 7 assists, and Campbell¡¯s 31 points, four Lakers players scored in double figures, defeating the Kings 112-98 and sweeping the promotion 3-0!
