Brooks, Yao Ming and McGrady have become the most feared scoring trio for all teams in the league. At present, the Houston Rockets and the Denver Nuggets are 3:2, and the sixth game will be played at home in Houston. For Houstoners, this is their best chance to advance. Although the Rockets only rank sixth in the West, they are not Some people underestimate the strength of the Rockets.
The Los Angeles Clippers got good news again, Nell. Olshu won the Manager of the Year for the 09-10 season.
Olshu deserves this award. The Clippers have won 73 games in the regular season. Although they have only won 4 games more than the 2008-09 season, they have set a new historical record, and the Clippers' progress in the past three years after exchanging Lin Fei from the Los Angeles Lakers is obvious and Olshu's deal. The role of the signed player can be seen in general.
07-08 traded with Lin Fei and the crazy four strokes of the 2008 draft, and signed the defensive player Artest in the off-season in exchange for the nerve knife JR. Smith signed Steve. Novak traded and got Andre. Miller and Tyson. Chandler signed a free agent at the end of the 08-09 season. Wallace and Lamar. Odom's big shark O'Neill made the Clippers completely enrich the weak inside line.
Such a general manager's score allowed Orshu to get 19 votes out of 30 team general managers in the best manager's vote, and Bucks general manager Hammond got 6 votes. Sam, the general manager of the third Thunder team. Presti got 4 votes.
On April 29, the Lakers defeated the Suns by 2 points away from home. The Lakers became the opponent of the Clippers Western Conference semifinals again after last year.

On April 30, the NBA officially announced the best sixth-man winner of the 09-10 season. As previously reported in the media, Hawks substitute guard Jamal Crawford finally won the award. Wilson of the Clippers. Chandler, JR. Smith and Lamar Odom unfortunately passed by the best sixth man. Crawford, who joined the Eagles, did not play a start in 79 games on behalf of the team. He still averaged 18 points, 2.5 rebounds and 3 assists per game. The three-point shooting and shooting percentage also reached 38.2% and 44.9% respectively.

This season, the Clippers' playing time further decreased, but the efficiency did not decrease, but became the leader of the Clippers' second team, averaging 9.7 points, 8.6 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game, and three triple-doubles, with only 22.7 minutes.
On the evening of the 30th, the league announced the best rookie candidate, Sacramento Kings defender Terek. Evans defeated two rivals Stephen. Curry and Brandon. Jennings was successfully elected.
As early as two days ago, the Sacramento media had disclosed in advance that Evans would win the rookie of the season. But perhaps for fear of being variable in the final stage, Evans has been silent about this matter; and his boss King did not announce in advance that he would hold a press conference to celebrate the success like other teams. After all, the competition for the best rookie trophy is unprecedentedly fierce, including Curry, Jennings, Clyson, Thornton and other young rookies, all of which have performed well this season.
In fact, when the NBA officially announced the voting results, Evans' final advantage was indeed very weak.

With the release of individual awards one by one, the most valuable players in the regular season have undoubtedly become the most concerned thing.
The Los Angeles Clippers, which had been resting for almost five days, ushered in the first game of the second round of the playoffs at Staples on the evening of May 1.
The Clippers, who are waiting for work, have more time to practice tactics, while the Lakers only have one day off, and Lin Fei has become the biggest trouble for the Lakers. The defense of Lin Fei can't prevent passing of the ball, and the double bag clip misses other players. In addition, the physical influences the Lakers players are entering. The offensive performance seemed a little weak. In the end, the Los Angeles Clippers won with a big score of 16 points, and Lin Fei contributed another triple doubles, 28 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds in the playoffs.
The Dallas Mavericks also kicked out the playoffs in the fearless Spurs Quartet before the start of the season in the seven-bricks. It turned out that Richard. Jefferson can't have an effective chemical reaction with the Spurs at all.
In the seventh life-and-death game of the Atlanta Hawks in the east, the home Phillips Center sent the Bucks to the second round with 15 points.
After defeating the Lakers in the first game of the second round, the second game between the two sides came a day later. The Lakers have already figured it clearly for the Clippers. The only change is Kobe's performance. Once Kobe draws, even if the Clippers are strong, they may be defeated by Kobe. Phil Jackson carefully arranges tactics. He dealt with the Clippers, but he was stunned when he saw the Clippers' lineup.
Tyson. Chandler did not appear in the starting lineup. Not only did Chandler not appear, but even Lin Fei did not appear in the starting lineup. Mike Dunleavy sent Shaquille. O'Neal, Rashid. Wallace, Ron. Artest, Wilson. Chandler, Andre. Miller's starting lineup, such a change of formation is unexpected.
So from the beginning, the Lakers have been passive, Ron Artest and Wilson. Chandler's two tough defensive players are crazy about Kobe. The only purpose is to make Kobe fall into the iron, and O'Neal, Rashid Wallace and Andre Miller have become the main attack points of the team. Phil Jackson watched the five-minute game with a cold face. Kobe has hit the iron five times, just the opening shot. The basket was good. When Phil Jackson called for a timeout and came back, Dunleavy changed positions again, and Lin Fei replaced Andre. Miller became the organization guard, and Odom replaced Artest and Tyson. Chandler and Roy. Hibbert became the new insider, and four people were replaced at once. Such a big change could only be done with great courage, which made Bill Wharton and Hoffman all lamented Dunleavy's boldness.
In fact, such a change of formation has achieved good results. Lin Fei and Chandler took over the task of bagping Kobe Bryant, and Lin Fei can hand over the ball to Odom once he encounters crazy oppression on the offensive end, while Lin Fei completes the shooting with the help of his teammate's cover and his own running position. Although Kobe's feel has slightly recovered, For the Lakers, it is a drop in the bucket, especially the inside line and the complete change at the beginning. From stability to more impact and vitality, Bynum and Gasol are very uncomfortable. At the end of the first quarter, the Clippers took a 14-point lead. The cheers of the Clippers fans at the scene can see how much the Lakers are tonight. Embarrassment.
The playoff opponents who pay attention to this game on TV are all afraid. You know, the Lakers are very strong, but now they are scattered by the Clippers.
The excellent performance of Kobe Bryant and Gasol in the second quarter dragged the Clippers but still failed to bring an advantage to the Lakers. In the third quarter, the Clippers changed their formation again and sent Tyson. Chandler, Rashid. Wallace, Wilson. Chandler, JR. Smith and Lin Fei's lineup once again caught the Lakers' defense off guard. The three-point rain is the sign of the third quarter. Lin Fei scored four three-pointers alone, while JR Smith also scored three. The Clippers scored a terrible 38 points in a single quarter. Although Kobe scored 17 points in a single quarter, he still failed to narrow the gap behind. At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers are 20 points behind the Clippers.
In the fourth quarter of the game, the Lakers still want to turn over, but the Clippers are like a mountain that is difficult to climb in front of the Lakers. The constant change of the array makes the "Zen Master" who has always known for his on-the-spot adaptability to do nothing. Once Jackson makes a change, the Clippers will quickly make a change. Such a game. The Lakers' defense was completely messed up. In the end, they could only rely on regional defense and man-to-man staring, but such a defensive effect was not good at all.
At the end of the game, the Clippers won the second inning of the second round at 128:112.
Lead the Lakers with a total score of 2:0, which is a good situation for the Clippers.
On the morning of May 4, ESPN basketball expert Mark Byrne revealed on his Twitter that Lin Fei had won the most valuable player.
"I'd love to get it, but it hasn't come out yet. I haven't received any news. If I say that I believe it's not me in the end, how embarrassed I will be, so I will still put more energy into training for the next game. Bryant is a particularly difficult guy to deal with. We can't defend the police. Tidy." Lin Fei said in the interview.
"I won't be surprised. He deserves this award, and only he deserves it. It's always bad to fall behind, but we won't give up. There is still a long series and it's just the beginning. We could defeat them last year, so we can do it this year." In an interview, Kobe responded to the situation of falling behind by 0:2.
"Lin, good news, absolute good news." Bob on the other end of the phone. Perinka's excited voice came from the other end of the phone.
"What good news? A big contract?" Lin Fei is still half asleep and half awake.
"Man, you are such a stupid guy. What good news can you have now? It must be MVP! An insider told me that you are an MVP. If so, I saw countless dollars flying to us. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be announced tomorrow. I believe it must be you.
Lin Fei lost his sleepiness when he heard Pelinka's words. Although it was just unconfirmed news, he still believed Perinka's words and had a faint expectation in his heart.
At noon the next day, Lin Fei received a phone call from Chen Xiyan. Chen Xiyan told Lin Fei that he was ready to receive the mvp trophy in the day after tomorrow's competition.
Soon at 3:00 p.m. New York time, the NBA officially announced that Lin Fei was elected as the MVP of the 09-10 regular season.
In the vote conducted by 123 reporters, media and experts, Lin Fei got 76 first votes, LeBron James got 45 first votes, and finally fell behind Lin Fei by 487 points to defend the title of MVP.
