nba: legend maker

On April 22, the NBA announced the attribution of a series of awards for the regular season.

Rick Adelman was named Coach of the Year for the 07-08 season.

Of the 128 sports media and television commentators in the United States and Canada, 67 voted for Rick Adelman for first place, while head coach Rivers received only 28 first-place votes.

Woo Hang beat Kevin Durant with an all-round advantage and won the honor of Best Rookie, which was also called the least suspenseful award by all media before the game.

The winner of the Most Improved Player award is Heaton Turkoglou of the Magic. This award is given to players who have improved significantly from the previous season or previous seasons.

Turkoglou's 19.5 points per game and 5.7 rebounds or 5 assists are a significant improvement from last year, and he has won many times in the regular season, and it is understandable that he won this honor.

The Sixth Man of the Year went to Ginobili of the Spurs.

In the Defensive Player of the Year selection, Kevin Garnett became the Defensive Player of the Season of the Season. Marcus Camby and Duncan finished second and third, respectively, while Shaun Battier, who was traded to New York by the Rockets mid-season, finished fourth.

The Team of the Year award is made in a unique way, as it is judged by 127 sports journalists and commentators from the United States and Canada, all of whom work in the locations of the league's 30 teams.

The rules of the selection are to write a list of the top three teams in your favorite team according to their position (center, forward, guard), in which the player who is included in the first team gets 5 points, the second team gets 3 points, and the third team gets 1 point, and the final score is the sum of the final points to select the team of the year.

The players on the first team are Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett, LeBron James, Dwight Howard and Chris Paul.

The players named to the Second Team of the Year are Steve Nash, Wood Hang, Dirk Nowitzki, Tracy McGrady and Tim Duncan.

And Yao Ming appeared in the third lineup.

This selection was scolded by fans for being shady and in the dark!

As the league's No. 1 team, there is not a single player on the first team, which makes this year's first team look a little ironic.

In addition, there are a number of personal data awards.

Cavaliers star LeBron-James won his first scoring title with an average of 30 points per game.

The block king is the Nuggets' Camby, 3.3.

The assist leader is Chris Paul of the Suns with 11.6.

The steal king is Chris Paul of the Hornets with 2.8.

The MVP selection for the most eye-catching award is still ongoing, and it is estimated that it will not be known until the first round is played.

The first round of the playoffs has started today. The Magic easily beat the 76ers 98-80 at home, and the Spurs beat the Jazz 101-94 at home.

Tomorrow, Wu Hang will usher in the first playoffs of his career at the Toyota Center!

On April 23, the Toyota Center was packed, and the Rockets' first playoff game was about to begin. Fans are waiting to see the Rockets beat the visiting Nuggets and break the runaway first-round playoff run.

After the Rockets triumvirate came out, they stood side by side, facing the audience in the sound of music, raising their fists! The audience shouted wildly, and the home stadium was like a rainbow.

This is the new way of playing for the Rockets, and the Big Three have a victory celebration from the start, which is easy to deal a psychological blow to the visiting players who are already at a disadvantage.

Wu Hang and Iverson exchanged pleasantries, and Iverson has expressed his appreciation for the rising star in public more than once.

Carmelo Anthony also greeted Wu Hang: "Wood, the playoffs are different from the regular season, you may not be able to win. "

"I'm afraid you're going to lose worse than you did in the regular season. Wu Hang said with a smile.

Carmelo Anthony didn't say anything and returned to the dugout.

Before the game even started, the smoke of gunpowder had already wandered away.

Nuggets head coach George Carr had a serious expression and arranged tactics and said, "Linas (Kreza), you keep an eye on Wu.

" Marcus (Camby), today you defend Yao Ming alone, if he shoots well, go around the front defense.

On offense, Allen (Iverson) and Cameron (Anthony) switch positions to play Maddie when they have the opportunity, Maddy's defense is relatively weak, and we use that as a breakthrough, and Allen (Iverson), if the opponent is on Nate Robinson, you can play hard, don't care about anything.

"

The Nuggets were ready to guard against Yao Ming and Maddie, but on the other side, Adelman made a surprise move.

Not only did the Rockets adjust their tactics, but they also changed their starting lineup. David Lee replaced Hayes as the starting power forward, Maddie was at the small forward position, Wood played at shooting guard and Nate Robinson as the starting point guard.

"The Nuggets will definitely take special care of Yao in the opening, we will take them by surprise, and the opening will be attacked with Wu as the core, and David will come out to block and dismantle.

You can choose to play on your own, or draw the ball in defense while others look for opportunities on the perimeter.

When defending, David and Yao Ming control the rebounds, and if they have the opportunity, Wu will quickly counterattack.

We not only have to win the first game, but we also have to play with momentum and win completely!

"

Adelman slapped the tactical board with great force under the watchful eyes of his players.
