Chapter 208 Awards are out!

After the Celtics swept the Knicks, the series ended one after another.

The Bulls were simply unable to stop the Sharks' rampage in the low post.

When the Sharks faced Chandler, they immediately returned to their peak.

He averaged 30.2 points, 11.8 rebounds and 2 blocks per game in the series.

Chandler was beaten into a sieve in the low post.

Although the Bulls did a good job defending Wade on the perimeter, they were unable to withstand the rampage of the Shark in the low post.

In the end, the Heat easily swept the Bulls 4-0.

The Suns and Nuggets also swept the series.

Although the Nuggets' inside line is excellent, their defense is not good overall, allowing an average of 97.5 points per game in the regular season.

The defense is also on the downside.

Facing the Suns' run-and-gun tactics, Shehuigua's physical problems were clearly exposed.

Coupled with the Suns' fierce offensive firepower, the Suns swept the Nuggets directly.

There was no suspense in the game between the Pistons and the 76ers.

The Pistons are better than the 76ers both offensively and defensively. How can they win under such circumstances?
After the Pistons led the series 2:0, Iverson exploded after returning to his home court!

艾弗森全场26投15中，三分球4中2，罚球6中5，全场爆砍37分15助攻3篮板2抢断。

Helped the 76ers beat the Pistons 115:104 and successfully regained the series.

But that’s all.

The Pistons didn't give the 76ers any chances and swept the series 4-1.

艾弗森系列赛，场均能够砍下31.2分10助攻2.2篮板2抢断，投篮命中率46.8%，三分球命中率41.4%。

It can be said that Iverson definitely tried his best!
The game between the Pacers and the Wizards was also very intense.

Arenas, Larry Hughes and Antawn Jamison are not fakes after all.

Three players who are at their peak and have All-Star potential.

It also did not allow the Pacers to take advantage of it at will.

Especially Arenas, when the Pacers were leading 2-0 in the series.

第三场比赛，阿里纳斯全场24投14中，三分球6中4，罚球8中8，砍下40分4助攻5篮板2抢断。

Helped the Wizards beat the Pacers 99:95 to win the game.

But in the fourth game, facing the Pacers who were fully mobilized and scored in many places, the Wizards still lost the game by 4 points.

Everyone thought that the Wizards were about to be swept by the Gentlemen.

Arenas stood up again!

系列赛第五场，阿里纳斯全场20投10中，三分球6中2，罚球8中6，砍下28分6助攻4篮板。

Coupled with Antawn Jamison's 22 points and 12 rebounds, the Wizards successfully pulled one back.

This round of the series has once again created suspense.

However, the Pacers did not give the Wizards another chance.

In the sixth game of the series, the Pacers mobilized their entire team, with six players scoring in double digits, and defeated the Wizards 110:92.

Successfully met the Celtics in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Compared with the East, the situation in the West is relatively more tense or dramatic.

In the game between the Kings and the Timberwolves, although the Kings fought hard.

But just like last year, they were eliminated by the Timberwolves 4:2.

The game between the Spurs and the Supersonics was a fierce battle!

After being tripped by Bowen, the Spurs beat the Supersonics 2:0.

In the third game of the series, Ray Allen, who played with an injury, began to lead the Supersonics to fight back.

The two sides fought fiercely, and Bowen attacked again... with his kick!

Rashard Lewis suffered a black foot from Bowen.

Although Lewis left the court, the Sonics players were completely enraged!
In the end, led by Gentleman Ray, they defeated the Spurs 92:91 and regained a point.

Then the two sides really started fighting!

That’s right, fighting is the most appropriate way to describe it!
Gentleman Ray played despite an injury, leading a group of blue-collar players of the Supersonics to fight hard with the Spurs.

In the end, the Sonics' top three scoring points in the regular season all encountered Bowen's black feet.

Still fought hard with the Spurs for six games! Gentleman Ray averaged 26.5 points, 3.9 assists and 4.3 rebounds per game in the series despite injuries, with a shooting percentage of 47.4% and a three-point shooting percentage of 37.8%.

But they still lost to the Spurs 4:2 and were eliminated by the Spurs.

After the Spurs eliminated the SuperSonics, major NBA awards for the 2004-05 season were announced.

The best defensive team: Ben Wallace, Duncan, Lin Yu, Larry Hughes, Bowen.

Second team of the best defensive team: Harden, Camby, Kirilenko, Kidd, "Little Prince" Prince, and Billups.

The second team of the best defensive team, just like the original history, this time there are six players selected.

In the original history, Da Yingte was a first-defense player, but in this history he was squeezed out by Lin Yu and could only be selected for the second-defense.

Except for Camby who is suspected of inflating his stats, the other players are indeed well-deserved to be selected.

The best sixth man award was given to Ben Gordon of the Bulls.

Ben Gordon averaged 15.1 points, 2 assists and 2.6 rebounds per game in the regular season.

This is also the first time in NBA history that a first-year rookie won the Sixth Man of the Year award.

First Team Best Rookie: Lin Yu, Howard, Okafor, Iguodala, Ben Gordon.

All-Rookie Second Team: Luol Deng, Al Jefferson, Josh Smith, Nenad Krstic, Josh Childress.

The best rookie award naturally went to Lin Yu without any suspense.

After all, Lin Yu’s performance can only be described as horrifying!

林禹本赛季场均31.2分10.4篮板5.8助攻2.1盖帽1.6抢断。

At the same time, he led the team to the best record in the league.

Not to mention the best rookie, even the regular season MVP is basically in Lin Yu's pocket!

The top scorer is Lin Yu, averaging 31.2 points per game.

The assist leader is Nash, averaging 11.5 assists per game.

The rebounding leader is Harden, averaging 13.5 rebounds per game.

The block leader is Kirilenko, averaging 3.3 blocks per game.

The steals leader is Larry Hughes, averaging 2.5 steals per game.

First team of the best lineup: Lin Yu, Shaq, Duncan, Old Driver, Nash.

Second team of the best lineup: Big Ben, Garnett, Stoudemire, Gentleman Ray, Iverson.

The third team of the best lineup: Yao Ming, Wade, McGrady, O'Neal Jr., and Arenas.

In the original history, Iverson was selected into the first team because of his scoring title, but this season the scoring title was won by Lin Yu, and Iverson was squeezed into the second team.

Since Lin Yu played point guard in the latter part of the season, he was selected into the best team as a guard this time.

This history, because the Pistons and Pacers did not have the Palace of Auburn Hills incident.

As a result, the Pistons' record was not bad, and O'Neal Jr. was successfully selected.

Artest suffered from the rules.

After the handcheck rule was abolished this season, Artest showed his discomfort with the rules.

Artest is best at melee defense.

However, with the stricter refereeing standards in the regular season and the addition of Wu Sheng, his playing time has been reduced.

In the end, not only was he not selected to the All-NBA Team, he was not even on the All-Defensive Team.

It can be said that it couldn’t be more miserable!
However, Artest is not the only player not on the list this time.

The NBA has indeed reached its peak at the moment.

It can be seen from the fact that O'Neal, who was third in the MVP list last season, could only be selected for the third team.

Outstanding players such as Kidd, Carter, Peja, and Marion were not even included in the best lineup at this time.

This shows the cruelty of this best lineup.

Both James and Kobe suffered from poor performance.

Neither of them led their teams into the playoffs and ultimately missed the All-NBA team.

The best coach award naturally went to Rivers.

Lee led the Celtics, who competed for the No. 1 pick last season, to first place in the league this season!

It would be strange if you didn’t give it to Lao Li!
