Chapter 366 Finally Enter the Defense! (Fifth Update!)

The East and West division finals are still being fought fiercely, and at this time, the league announced the best team and best defensive team of the season.

After the results of this year's best team came out, many fans were surprised.

The Spurs, which has always been unpopular with fans, have two people selected this year!

Best three: Marc Gasol, David Lee, Paul George, James Harden, Dwyane Wade.

Marc Gasol's averages of 14.1 points, 7.8 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1 steal and 1.7 blocks per game this season are not particularly outstanding, but his improvement on the defensive end has enabled the Grizzlies to enter the playoffs this season and even reach the Western Conference Finals all the way key.

If it weren't for his absence from the game due to injury, the Grizzlies have a good chance of entering the top half this season.

David Lee's return to the top also deserves an All-NBA honor.

Harden's performance is also obvious to all.

On the contrary, Wade and George, both of whom performed very well this season, only made three teams in the end, which is a bit regrettable.

Especially George, he replaced Granger as the core of the team this season, and helped the team reach the Eastern Conference finals and the Heat are inextricably linked.

Fortunately, he is still very young, as long as he does not suffer from injuries, he is likely to become James' biggest competitor in the Eastern Conference.

Best Second Team: Howard, Griffin, Anthony, Parker, Westbrook

Howard averaged 17.5 points, 12.4 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 2.4 blocks per game this season. Although his data has declined compared to the Magic period, he is still the league's number one center.

Anthony averaged 28.7 points, 6.9 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game this season. He just ended Durant's scoring leader and is well-deserved as the league's third small forward this season.

Westbrook averaged 23.2 points, 5.2 rebounds, 7.4 assists and 1.8 steals per game. After Harden left the team, he benefited a lot in terms of statistics.

Parker averaged 20.3 points, 3 rebounds and 7.6 assists per game. As the top scorer of the No. 1 team in the Western Conference, he is also worthy of a second-team spot.

However, Griffin's selection is questionable. His 18 points, 8.7 rebounds and 3.7 assists have declined compared with the rookie's data in the first two years. The Clippers were also eliminated early in the first round of the playoffs.

Best team: Duncan, James, Durant, Kobe, Paul.

Ke, Zhan, Du, the top three in the league, there is not much suspense about being selected this round.

But the other two are fun.

Duncan was selected for a while at the age of 37, and his performance in the Nth spring is obvious to all.

With 17.5 points, 10.1 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.4 blocks, Shifo seems to never grow old.

Paul's situation is very similar to that of Griffin, with 16.9 points, 3.7 rebounds, 9.8 assists and 2.4 steals, all of which are declining.

It can only be said that Los Angeles fans have an inherent advantage in the selection of the best team because of their high exposure.

Shortly after the All-NBA team was announced, the All-Defensive Team followed suit.

Best Defensive Second Team: Marc Gasol, Duncan, Paul George, Tony Allen, Mike Conley.

Best defensive team: Noah, Chandler, Ibaka, James, Tang Tian, ​​Paul

Because of the same votes, there are two centers this year.

But the most eye-catching one is Tang Tian!

After he won the best defensive player, he was also successfully selected to the league's defensive first team!

"Look, I said, last year it was time to enter, but it's the same if I entered this year!"

"This honor, an outside player, is really the strongest defensive player in active service. I think it can be compared with Payton!"

"Don't belittle the past and the present, or put it deliberately belittled, Tang's defense is indeed on par with Payton now!"

"By the way, I'm really looking forward to the offseason more and more now. With Tang like this, will the Spurs still be reluctant to pay the luxury tax?"

"Brother, it's still early, the finals haven't even started yet!"

"Yeah, hurry up, the second season of the Spurs Heat, if the Spurs win again, I can't imagine what the Heat management will look like!"

"Haha, just passing by the best defensive player like this?"

"I'm afraid James will be autistic if he loses again. This year, he said that he will bring Miami the second championship in team history!"

"First team, best defensive first team, MVP, James is at his peak this season, he is qualified to say this."

"I know I'm eligible, I just said in case the Heat lose."

"The Heat will not lose!"

"Yes, my emperor will win! Lose? Doesn't exist!"

...

The Heat beat the Pacers in the third game, allowing Heat fans to sweep away the previous haze.

They thought that the team would take advantage of the victory, but no one expected that in the fourth game, the Pacers successfully restricted James and pushed the latter to 24 points.

And Hibbert once again blasted the Heat inside, with 23 points and 12 rebounds, and Bosh had 7 points and 3 rebounds.

The Pacers also beat the Heat 99-92 at home, tying the score at 2-2.

This time, it's really hard to say who will advance to the Finals in the Eastern Conference.

The fierce battle is in full swing here, while the Western Conference finals on the other side are like child's play.

In the fourth game between the Spurs and the Grizzlies, the Spurs suppressed the Grizzlies and swept the Grizzlies 4-0.

Tony Parker scored 37 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists, becoming the biggest contributor to the team's victory.

The black and white bears played abnormally again. The Grizzlies' highest scorer in this game turned out to be the teenager Quincy Pondexett, who scored 22 points on 3 of 6 three-pointers.

The Spurs easily advanced to the finals, waiting for work.

After the Heat fought 7 games with the Celtics last year, they are facing difficulties this year.

In addition to arranging daily training every day, the Spurs will watch the broadcast in the video room once the Heat have a game.

The main purpose is to prepare for the next finals.

Of course, like last year, as a bystander, watching the game with a mentality of watching a movie is quite interesting.

"Who do you think we're going to fight this year?" Green was very happy with this kind of question. Before the fifth match between the two sides, he asked Tang Tian again.

"Heat." Tang Tian said without thinking.

"So sure? Why? The Pacers have no chance at all?" Green looked at Tang Tian suspiciously.

"No reason, feeling." Tang Tian replied.

"Okay, but you feel right every time. It seems that this year's finals will still be very intense." Green nodded.

Tang Tian smiled.

With the Spurs winning the championship last season, a lot of history has changed, so it is not because of the experience of those who have experienced it that the Heat will enter the finals.

Rather, the league needs the Heat.

The Stern era, while not as obvious as the Silver era, is sometimes necessary.

Otherwise, if the Pacers play against the Spurs, the number of viewers in such a finals will be reduced by half.

Of course, the premise is that when the strengths of the two teams are relatively close, otherwise it is like the Spurs playing the Grizzlies, and the league cannot affect the trend of the series.

The NBA is a commercial league. If it is not to be disturbed by these factors, it must be strong enough.

After all, to forge iron, you need to be hard on your own.
