Chapter 1577 Ma Ta Energy Arena
On the morning of the 6th, NBA officials first announced this year’s best rookie team. Sacramento Kings guard Tyreke Evans, who won the Rookie of the Year award, Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry and Milwaukee Bucks’ Guard Brandon Jennings was a unanimous selection to the All-Rookie First Team.
In addition to the above three people who were selected to the All-Rookie First Team, New Orleans Hornets point guard Darien Collison, who scored 46 points, and Chicago Bulls power forward Teja Gibson, who scored 41 points, were also selected to the All-Rookie Team. All-rookie first team.
This can also be seen in the trend of rookies in recent years. In this year's Rookie of the Year first team, a total of four players are on the court and can serve as point guards. This seems to confirm that we have now entered an era of blowout of guard talents. , among other things, John Wall and Evan Turner, the two most popular picks in this year's draft, are also defenders. Even Kyrie Irving, who is very popular among high school students today and has just won a bunch of awards, is also a defender.
The Rookie of the Year second team was also decided at the same time, with Marcus Thornton, DiJuan Blair, James Harden, Jonny Flynn, and Jonas Jebracco selected respectively.
This is also the world of defenders.
"The era of offensive guards is coming!" ESPN headlined the Rookie of the Year front page.
Of course, they are just emerging in their era, and in this league today, they are just spectators.
Curry, who was selected to the first team of the Rookie of the Year, and Harden, who was selected for the second team, called Ji Feng to announce the good news. To be fair, Ji Feng's agency is definitely the biggest winner this time. In addition to Curry, Holiday and DeRozan We were included in the selection and got a lot of votes, but it's just a pity that we didn't make it into the list of ten people.
But that’s okay. The Best Rookie Team list still has certain limitations. It just proves that you have just entered the league and the height of the league. As for how it will develop in the future, it will take time to verify.
Compared with the Best Rookie Team, the other two Best Teams are undoubtedly the league's vane in this era.
The first is the best defensive team. The selection of the best defensive team is selected by the current head coach of the league. Each head coach has no right to select the players of his team. That is to say, each player has 29 valid votes. With his outstanding performance, Ji Feng has no chance to win. There was no doubt that he was selected, occupying the position of small forward, and received the first-place votes in all 29 chapters.
In this position, in terms of defense alone, no one in the league can compete with Ji Feng. As early as halfway through the season, some reporters said that Ji Feng had locked in the best defensive lineup, and now he has finally fulfilled it again.
The other one who has no suspense is Howard at the center position. He received 28 first-place votes and was also elected to the best defensive team without any suspense.
Rondo, the fourth giant of the Celtics, was selected for the first time in his career due to his progress this season. The Celtics stumbled in the regular season this season. It must be said that Rondo has a lot of credit for being able to stabilize the situation. With his three elder brothers, Rondo has grown into an important playmaker.
At the power forward position is the Bobcats' Gerald Wallace, who is the undisputed core of the Bobcats this season. He led the Bobcats to the best record in team history and entered the playoffs historically. He scored 34 points, beating the Canadians. Players such as Nate were also selected for the first time in their careers.
The Lakers are still the biggest winners in the Best Defensive Team, because Kobe was also selected for his excellent defense. Although he only scored 36 points, which was only better than Wallace among the five, he was still unbeatable in the post-scoring position. .
This season's best defensive team was born. They are: center Howard, power forward Wallace, small forward Ji Feng, shooting guard Kobe Bryant, and point guard Rondo.
The JK combination of Ji Feng and Kobe Bryant has been selected to the first team at the same time for three consecutive years. This is the first time in history. The strongest outside defensive combination in history deserves the title.
The best defensive second team was also announced. They are: center Duncan, power forward Varejao, small forward Josh Smith, shooting guard Wade, and point guard Safrosa.
Fans who had not yet had time to share the joy of Ji Feng being selected for the All-Defensive First Team only took two hours to reap happiness again. The best team of the season was announced later, and Ji Feng was once again selected for the First Team!
As the regular season MVP winner in the 2009-10 season and the best defensive player in the 2009-10 season, Ji Feng received the highest points a player can get—122 first-choice votes and 610 points.
Howard, who also received full marks like Ji Feng, also gained an overwhelming advantage in the center position.
Because the rules were modified this season, regardless of power forward or small forward, all forwards are classified as forwards. Therefore, after a year, James was finally selected to the All-NBA First Team at the same time as Ji Feng. However, it was slightly sad that James Being pushed to the power forward position...
"Three years have brought a lot of changes." Some fans couldn't help but sigh.
Think about Ji Feng who first showed his talents three years ago, passed all the tests as a rookie, and finally tied with James for the best team. At that time, people bluntly said that James' biggest challenge was coming, but Ji Feng's challenge was faster than everyone thought. In the second year, Ji Feng eliminated James from the first team, and this season he pushed James to the fourth position. People have to marvel at Ji Feng's rapid maturity and strength.
The back line belongs to Kobe and Wade, and this is well deserved.
So this first team became: Howard, James, Ji Feng, Kobe and Wade.
It is worth mentioning that Durant was also selected for the best second team. He was also selected as the Suns' double stars Nash and Stoudemire. Anthony also occupied a position, and the last position belonged to Deron Williams. .
The three power forwards of Duncan, Nowitzki, and Gasol were selected for the best third team. Duncan was selected as the center, and Roy and Joe Johnson occupied the back line.
And with the glory of having a double team, the Lakers once again set foot on the stage of the Western Conference semifinals!
On May 7th, the blue and white auditorium at Utah Energy Arena brought tremendous pressure to everyone here, and the entire Jazz atmosphere seemed very serious.
Especially Sloan, he was very strict with the players, staring there and constantly correcting the players' movements and movements during the warm-up. Especially Deron, he was the most attentive. This may be the reason why conflicts will break out in the future.
After all, Deron has grown into a superstar in the league's defense. In addition to a big contract, status is also part of what he will strive for in the future. It is inevitable that conflicts will break out between him and a strict head coach like Sloan.
After all, not every defender is Stockton. He is pragmatic on the field, low-key and humble off the field, and very loyal. Stockton is definitely underestimated by people.
Back to business.
Compared with the Jazz, the Lakers were not affected by the atmosphere at all. With a 2-0 advantage, they naturally had reason to relax.
However, Ji Feng is not as relaxed as he seems. Tonight Ji Feng will still choose to go all out and step into the Energy Center. Jordan is not the only one who can do this!
