Chapter 1271

After only one quarter, the Jazz lost again. The Lakers took their two home games in a bloodless way, leading the series 2-0, becoming the second team to take a 2-0 lead after the first Cavaliers in the East.

To put it bluntly, the Lakers have already occupied the absolute promotion advantage in the 7-out-of-4 games. It has been said before that under the best of seven games system, when a team is 0-2 behind, the probability of final promotion is only 6.5%.

In the NBA's history of so many years, there are 249 times of 0-2 backwardness in the first round of the playoffs, and only 13 times in the final round.

Of course, the closest time is the Laker's opponent, Utah. Many Chinese fans should be very familiar with this matter. In 2007, when the Rockets took the lead in two home games and took a 2-0 lead at home, the Rockets were pulled four games in a row and finally eliminated by 4-2. This is the series that many Chinese fans remember most deeply.

Oh, the last one was Dallas Mavericks. Many young fans also remember very clearly, because the background board was still Yao's rockets, and that time was even more miserable, because the Rockets were the first to take a 2-0 lead in the away game, and were finally dragged to the seventh game by the Mavericks for three Games in a row, but they lost a huge 40 point defeat in the seventh game, That game also opened the Yao Mai era cup with rockets.

So many fans are a little allergic to the advantage of 2-0, a little head up, afraid of another big reversal, so this season, the rockets and Blazers play 1-1, even many fans are very happy that it is not 2-0, the rocket breakthrough is expected!

Heartache fans

However, this problem was cured by the Lakers last season. Last season, the Lakers took the lead in all series of playoffs and finally won, with a turnover rate of 0%, and the jazz was one of them. So when the Lakers took a 2-0 lead, fans showed that the ball was stable!

Of course, it doesn't mean that the Jazz won't have a chance at all. After all, the next two games will return to Utah, the famous devil's home energy solution center. Since the founding of the team, the jazz has been a famous home dragon. Although the record of this season is not good, the number of home games won at home has nearly doubled that of the away games They are not without the strength of the first World War.

But the third game is particularly important, because if 0-2 still has a chance to turn over, then the first round 0-3 is really hopeless, because in the history of NBA, there has never been a team to complete the turn when 0-3 is behind. Of course, history is just some data, but its reference value is still there.

Because of this, the Jazz simply accepted an interview after the game and directly sat on the return charter plane. In Los Angeles, of course, they were disappointed, but they did not lose. Before leaving, Deron and other jazz players still expressed their confidence in defending the home court. Of course, all this has to wait for the third game to test.

The Lakers didn't stay much. At 7 o'clock the next morning, the 76ers boarded the charter plane to Utah devil's stadium!

After the game, Ji Feng also paid close attention to a wave of Nuggets' games. Before this game, Paul had boasted of winning in the media. However, it was no accident that the Hornets still failed to recover the defeat in the second game. The away game was defeated by 108-93 again, and the Nuggets became the third team with a 2-0 lead in the first round.

From the previous two games, the Nuggets' leading advantage was all-round, especially in Billups and Paul's, Billups once again proved that he was absolutely underestimated superstar. After the previous show overturned and suppressed Paul, Changxi was still invincible in this game.

After 35 minutes of playing, Paul made 8-of-15 shots, 4-out of 6-3-pointer, 11-out-of-11 free throws, and scored 31 points. He became the first player to cut 30 + in two consecutive games in this playoff game, and then delivered 6 assists and 6 rebounds by the way. There was only one mistake in the whole field, which was absolutely a great performance.

Want to know such performance but faces Paul this defense expert League new first point guard to play, is absolutely perfect.

Moreover, Paul did not play well in the face of Billups. He made 4 of 11 shots in 38 minutes and only got 14 points. Although he sent out 13 assists, this performance was far worse than Billups, even many players of one level.

ESPN commented: "crazy Paul has nothing to do in front of the hot old Billups."

It's not hard to explain why the Hornets have been defeated in a row. Paul is a barometer of the Hornets. He can't, and the Hornets can't.

Anthony continued to play soy sauce and scored 22 points from 10-out-of-20 shots, but delivered a career high nine assists in the playoffs and nearly got two doubles, which made many commentators laugh that Anthony took lessons like Ji Feng.

Jifeng is also more optimistic about the Nuggets after watching the game. Everyone knows that the Nuggets will be Anthony. But the way the Nuggets won the first two games is the same as the Laker. They didn't need to play the core to win. This reflects their Superman strength. The Nuggets are also likely to be the opponents of the western finals of the Lakers.Of course, it's too early to say so now, but it doesn't hinder Ji fengzao's preparation!

After the first two games of the playoffs, the situation of the league has gradually become clear. At the same time, the concerns of fans and players are coming. From April 22, the NBA official began to announce the NBA awards of this season!

The first to be announced is the NBA ethics award, also known as the "Joe Dumas Award". As the name suggests, this is an annual award given to the players with the most sports ethics in the NBA.

Those who can get it are all famous good guys in NBA, from first quarter winner Joe Dumas to last year's winner Grant Hill.

This year's award was awarded to the Nuggets' Changxi Billups, which is worthy of its name. Billups was a kind of bad boy when he was in the pistons. He was modest, pragmatic and low-key. He never saw who he sprayed on the media. This may also be the reason why he is not famous though he is strong, but it also belongs to his charm 。

But sometimes it's not a good thing to be too low-key on the court, as the former piston coach said: "humility doesn't make you win the championship."

Sometimes it's hard to be tough and tough on the court!

Of course, the award is not so important in the hearts of both players and fans, so it has not caused any fashion.

On April 23, the NBA finally announced the first important award, that is, the best rookie of 2008-2009 season. The three candidates are rose, Mayo and Lopez.

The prize is not a big suspense to tell the truth. Although Mayo and Lopez performed well, rose was still the winner.

In his rookie season, rose started 80 games, with an average of 6.3 assists per game, ranking the first of all the first grade players. He also grabbed 16.8 points and 3.9 rebounds. His shooting percentage and free throw percentage were 47.5% and 78.8%, respectively.

He also ranked among the top three bulls rookies over the years in terms of technical statistics, including total score (31361), average score per game (3, 16.8) and average assist (3, 6.3).

In the end, 111 out of 120 sports media and television commentators from the United States and Canada voted first for rose, who scored 574 points. O.J. Mayo of Memphis Grizzlies finished second with 246 points and Brooke Lopez of the New Jersey basketball nets finished third with 127 points.

Rose also became the third player in the history of the bulls to win rookie of the year.
