Chapter 1137 The first wave of awards announced (Medical Miracle)
As Leonard was carried off the court by the team doctor with a ferocious expression and a look of pain on his face, the Spurs players' desire to win seemed to have drifted away with the wind as Leonard retired from injury.
In the end, the Warriors completed a shocking comeback after falling behind by more than 20 points and defeated their opponents by two points, 114:112.
Leonard's statistics for this game are completely fixed at 26 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal.
In the press conference after the game, the Warriors avoided talking about the scumbag's behavior of stepping on Leonard. They looked at him the whole time. They probably also understood that the reason why they won this game was because of one person.
No Bilian.
As for the Spurs, a piece of breaking news quickly broke out that detonated the league: Kawhi Leonard, the core of the Spurs team, will be out for the season!
Some people were skeptical at first, but when they saw Mr. Simavic roaring like a wounded lion after the game, everyone had no choice but to believe this shocking news.
But then, everyone understood that the core of the team, Kawhi Leonard, was out for the season, which was very likely to become a major turning point for the Spurs and Warriors in this round of group matches.
Portland.
"Oh, the Spurs are going to die."
Looking at the indignant Sima Weici on the TV screen, Wang Zelin said with emotion.
Nowadays, Holy City fans are generally feeling shameless and angry about Zhazha's stepping on the ball. Little do they know that the gears of fate have completely changed after that kick.
After being eliminated, Leonard only played 9 regular season games for the Spurs in the following 2017-18 season. Later, he was directly traded due to injuries and disagreements with the team.
In the future, many fans ridiculed the exchange of clubs between Leonard and DeRozan: Zhazha was the instigator of the transaction.
It is no exaggeration to say that this scumbag's kick not only changed Leonard's career trajectory, but also completely ruined the Spurs' originally bright future.
After Duncan retired, Leonard grew up smoothly and took over the scepter. The Spurs could have done great things, but who would have thought...
All I can say is that everything is a joke of fate.
On May 1st, all three groups of duels arranged by the league were played.
The Celtics beat the Pacers 4-3, with six players on the team scoring in double figures, successfully helping the team advance to the conference semifinals.
The Raptors, led by DeRozan and Lowry, also had the last laugh in the tiebreaker, leading the team to defeat the Wizards and advance to the conference semifinals.
At this point, the Eastern Conference semifinals showdown is freshly revealed:
Boston Celtics vs Toronto Raptors, the former has home court advantage.
Chicago Bulls vs. Cleveland Cavaliers, the former has home court advantage.
In the first game of the second round of the Western Conference, the Warriors completed a shocking comeback 114:112 and won their first victory in the series.
On the 2nd, the league officially announced the first wave of regular season personal data honors.
In the 2016~17 season, various data kings:
Scoring champion ~ Wang Zelin: averaging 40.8 points per game;
Assists leader ~ Russell Westbrook: 11.4 times;
Rebounding king ~ Wang Zelin: averaged 25 per game;
Steals leader ~ Paul George: 2.2 per game (I didn’t expect it, I’m here too);
Block leader ~ Wang Zelin: averaged 4.3 times per game;
2016~17 season, DPOY winner: Wang Zelin.
Except for his rookie season, Wang Zelin has won the scoring, rebounding, and blocks DPOY titles for four consecutive seasons, which is rare in NBA history.
Even though the best lineup and best defensive lineup have not yet been announced, everyone can foresee that, if nothing unexpected happens, Wang Zelin will lock in the double first team for the season.
Including the regular season MVP, his voice is also booming now.
The 2016~17 season will be another season of crazy honor harvesting for Wang Zelin.
In addition, the league also announced the list of the season's best rookie and best rookie team.
The Rookie of the Year winner is Malcolm Brogdon.
Not just Wang Zelin, many fans must have a certain impression of this player in the future.
In terms of his performance in his rookie year alone, Malcolm Brogdon is nothing short of inspirational, because he created an unprecedented miracle in NBA history.
He became the first non-first-round rookie in NBA history since 1966, and the second in Bucks history since Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in the 1969-70 season.
A player who was elected Rookie of the Year.
In the future, he has grown from a second-round pick to an all-around outsider averaging 21 points, 5.2 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game.
If you were to make a list of the most inspiring second-round picks in NBA history, Malcolm Brogdon would definitely be on the list.
Of course, to be top of the list, it must be our own Serbian brand bottled mineral water.
In terms of the All-Rookie Team, the players selected for the first team are: Malcolm Brogdon of the Milwaukee Bucks, Joel Embiid of the 75ers, Buddy Hield of the Sacramento Kings, Boston Celtics
Brandon Ingram of the Celtics, Willie Hernangomez of the New York Knicks.
The players selected for the second team are: Jamal Murray of the Los Angeles Lakers, Dario Saric of the Philadelphia 75ers, Jaylen Brown of the Phoenix Suns, Marquese Chriss of the Phoenix Suns,
Yogi Ferrell of the Dallas Mavericks.
By the way, as the Rookie of the Season Malcolm, Ingram was also unexpectedly selected to the All-Rookie First Team with a unanimous vote.
To be able to achieve this as a second-round pick is not an exaggeration to call it a miracle!
On this day, the Houston Mosaics arrived in the City of Roses.
Tonight, they will challenge the dynasty Portland Trail Blazers away from home.
A battle between two teams that occupy huge traffic in the league, there is no doubt that this series will be the most watched.
Originally, the series showdown between the Spurs and the Warriors also attracted countless people's attention, but when Zhazha performed his incredible stunt, it completely killed the suspense of this series.
As for the east side, let’s not mention it.
Who doesn't know that since the new century, the league has long been dominated by the strong in the west and the weak in the east? Usually, the Western Conference champion in each season will have a high probability of stabilizing the league championship.
Especially in recent years, this trend has become particularly obvious.
Therefore, both fans and the media pay much more attention to the Western Conference teams than the Eastern Conference teams.
Nowadays, a large number of media have gathered in the City of Roses. Ticket prices in the Rose Garden have doubled compared to the first series. The price of front row tickets has skyrocketed. The price of super VIP seats for the best bench is even higher.
One piece costs 58,000 yuan, and the black market price is as high as 100,000 yuan.
But even though such expensive sideline tickets are hard to come by, many Hollywood stars are making tickets available to the public, even offering high prices of 150,000 per ticket.
