Chapter 312 Award Ceremony
At the beginning of June, the finals kicked off.
Although An Luo had nothing to do with this year's finals, he still went to Oakland to watch a few games.
In fact, An Luo just went to join in the fun.As for the outcome of this game, there is really nothing to say.
Before this season, the only advantage the Cavaliers had over the Warriors was the small forward advantage.But with the addition of Durant this season, this advantage no longer exists.
When James has no advantage, how can the Cavaliers fight the Warriors?Irving and Love are obviously a little bit worse.Although both James and Irving have played historical-level data this season, this is already the limit of the Cavaliers' lineup!
In fact, Cleveland was completely crushed by the opponent in both offense and defense in the finals.
In the two games in Oakland, Irving performed very poorly.But Curry was quite good, with a 20+10 in the first game and a 30+ triple-double in the second game.When James and Durant tied, and Irving's performance was far inferior to Curry, the Cavaliers had to surrender.The Warriors won the Cavaliers by nearly forty points in two games!Especially in the second game, when there were more than five minutes before the end, the Warriors had scored more than 120 points.If Cole hadn't replaced the substitute, the score would have gone straight to 140 points.
Durant's ability is really too strong!
In last year's finals, Barnes averaged 10.1 points per game, while James averaged close to 30 points per game. The gap is too big.Splash's backcourt simply can't make up for the small forward's average of nearly [-] points per game.The arrival of Durant completely solved the flaws in the Warriors lineup.
It's interesting to say that the reason why the Thunder can't beat the Spurs this season is that the problems encountered by the Warriors are exactly the same as those of the Warriors last season.Their backcourt combination is not necessarily worse than the Warriors, but the small forward has too many problems.Robertson's offensive ability is not as good as Barnes!
Just imagine, if Durant stayed in the Thunder last year, then according to their current lineup plus Durant, let alone solve a Spurs, there will be a championship.
Thinking about this situation, I'm afraid it will give Presti a headache!Where is he going to find a Durant!
Although the Cavaliers pulled back a victory at their home court, this year's 1:3 is different from last year.
Back at Oracle Stadium, the Warriors did not give the Cavaliers another chance.They played a super offensive wave in the second quarter.
Although the Cavaliers launched a tenacious counterattack in the following games: chasing 5 points in the third quarter and 3 points in the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers still have no hope of winning!Because James only rested for 1 minute after three quarters, Irving rested for 3 minutes.While Klay Thompson played 26 minutes, Iguodala played 21 minutes.And it was these two who defended James and Irving in the fourth quarter.As a result, Irving scored 8 for 0 in the fourth quarter and scored no points.James scored 9 points on 4 of 8 shots.Curry and Durant still teamed up to score more than 15 points.
In the end, the Warriors defeated the Cavaliers 129:120 at home and successfully revenged.Durant won the championship as he wished, and won the FMVP with an average of 35.2 points, 8.2 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game.
After the game, the Warriors won the championship 4:1.As "NBA 2K17" predicted at the beginning, the Warriors ended it all.Of course, whether they can lead the birth of a dynasty is another matter.
After the finals, the only thing this season is the awards ceremony.That's a big deal.This season's best team in the regular season, the most valuable player in the regular season and other awards will be announced at that time.
On June 6, An Luo and Westbrook made an appointment to travel from Los Angeles to New York together.Westbrook is a native of Long Beach, California, and has long bought a house in Los Angeles.I usually live there during the offseason.
As the NBA's first annual awards ceremony, the league prepared quite carefully.The invited hosts and performers are relatively well-known.Among those who participated in the ceremony, not to mention active players, almost all of them came.Among the retired celebrities, O'Neill, Bill Russell, Grant Hill, Baron Davis, Paul Pierce, etc. also attended the ceremony.
The atmosphere of the ceremony reached its peak as the most interesting awards were slowly announced.
The regular season MVP was won by Westbrook.After Durant left the Warriors, Westbrook carried the banner of the Thunder.He scored 42 triple-doubles in a single season, surpassing Oscar Robertson's 41 triple-doubles in a single season and setting a new NBA record.At the same time, Westbrook averaged 27.6 points, 10.2 rebounds and 11.4 assists per game, becoming the only two players in history to average a triple-double in a single season.The Thunder are 36-6 when Westbrook has a triple-double, which shows his worth.
The winner of the best defensive player is the Warriors' Green.This season, he was able to get a career-high 2.03 steals. At the same time, his defensive plus-minus (5.03) ranked second in the league, defensive win shares (5.4) ranked second, and the number of opponent passes destroyed (3.9) also ranked second in the league. Ranked second, Green averaged 44% of opponents' basket shots per game, only behind Gobert and Aldridge.
An Luo defeated Gordon, Louis Williams and others, and won the best sixth man.He is the Thunder's other player to receive this award since Harden, and he is also another rookie to receive this award since Ben Gordon.
Not only that, An Luo also won the best rookie of the season.The data of 23.5 points, 1.5 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.8 steals per game are outstanding among rookies this year.
Antetokounmpo of the Bucks averaged 22.9 points and 8.8 rebounds per game this season. 5.4 assists, 1.9 blocks, 1.6 steals, all five statistics ranked first in the team.He is also the fifth person in history to lead the team in all five statistics in a single season after Cowens, Pippen, Garnett and James.And this season, his points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks have also created career highs.
The best coach was awarded to Donovan.After losing Durant, the Thunder's strength was greatly reduced.At one time, it was considered impossible to make the playoffs.But under his leadership, he played the league's third record of 55 wins and 27 losses.The best coach, well deserved.
After these heavyweight awards are released, there will be awards for best appearance, best teammates, and best blocks.And there are quite a lot of categories.But An Luo doesn't pay much attention to these, in his opinion, they are all "consolation prizes"!
Thunder is definitely the biggest winner of this awards ceremony.The heavyweight awards are almost finished!Especially An Luo, who won the best sixth man and best rookie in a row, stole the show.
