Chapter 274: The fastest-progress player and the best defensive player

The three wins of the 76ers made the whole Magic team see hope for promotion. Although there is still a bad battle to fight, they are ready and are not afraid of the 76ers' final counterattack.

In a post-match interview in Game 3, 76ers head coach Doug Collins said that they had figured out how to deal with Magic players in Game 4, especially Dwight Howard and Wu Feng.

"Dwight and Chinese Wu need to understand that every time they enter the penalty area or take a fast break, they will definitely be physically hit." The head coach of the 76ers said in an interview after the third game.

As for Doug Collins' remarks, Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said that they had long been used to it when their body hit the horse.

In addition to the Magic vs. The Sixers' Game, there are two more games today, namely the third game between the Dallas Mavericks and the third game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the third game between the New Orleans Hornets.

In the third game of the series between the Trail Blazers at home today, Brandon Roy, who came on as a substitute, scored a game-high 24 points, including 18 points in the fourth quarter, leading the Trail Blazers to a shocking 35-15 in the fourth quarter, completing a super big reversal that was destined to be famous in history.

The Trail Blazers finally defeated the Mavericks 84-82. After this victory, the Trail Blazers tied the total score of the series to 1-2.

27+13+15, this is the answer given by Chris Paul in the third game of the Lakers and Hornets series. In the second half, Chris Paul scored an amazing 23+7+6.

Since the 1991 playoffs, Rajon Rondo has played 29+13+18 similar numbers in the playoffs last year, and LeBron James has played 27+13+13 in the 2008 playoffs.

With Chris Paul's brave performance, the Hornets narrowly defeated the Los Angeles Lakers and temporarily led 2:1.

Many Lakers fans are beginning to worry about the situation of the Lakers because they may be completed by the Hornets in the Black Seven.

However, after this game, Kobe, the Lakers star, was quite confident. He said in an interview that in the next few games, the Lakers will fight back crazily and win this round of series in one fell swoop.

Kobe's confident remarks made Lakers fans feel a little more at ease, but some careful fans still found that Kobe had an ankle injury in a defense in the last quarter of the third game.

Although Kobe insisted on finishing the game, they could still see that Kobe's expression was very painful.

They were very worried about this, worried that Kobe would be absent in the fourth game, which was crucial.

…………

The playoffs have been started for a week, and there have been two upsets in this round of series.

The Memphis Grizzlies, the eighth-ranked Westside, currently leads the San Antonio Spurs, the No. 1 San Antonio Spurs, and the seventh-ranked Westside, the New Orleans Hornets, also leads the No. 2 Los Angeles Lakers, 2-1.

This situation surprised many fans, but this situation did not happen in the East.

Although the Chicago Bulls lost to the New York Knicks in the first game, they still showed their strength in the next two games, winning two games in a row, and now leading 2:1.

The powerful Miami Heat, which has the Big Three, is also leading the Atlanta Hawks 2-1, while the Boston Celtics, which has the Big Four, is currently leading the Indiana Pacers 2-1.

In the Western Conference, the Thunder and Nuggets also led 2:1 in the series, and the Dallas Mavericks also led 2:1 in the Portland Trail Blazers.

In other words, except for the Magic, all fifteen other teams lost at least one game.

On April 22, 2011, the official website of NBA announced that the Timberwolves newcomer Kevin Love officially won the fastest-progress player of the year award this season.

Kevin Love played 73 games for the Timberwolves this season, increasing his average score to 20.2 points, 15.2 rebounds, and 2.5 assists, shooting percentage of 47%, and several statistics set a record high in his personal career.

Kevin Love's average game data this season also made him the first player to average 20 points + 15 rebounds per game in a single season since Moses Malone (24.5 points and 15.3 rebounds) from the 1982 to 1983 season.

Although the Timberwolves ranked last in the league this season, Kevin Love was selected as the Western Conference star substitute for his strong performance in the All-Star Game in February.

After the season ended, Kevin Love became the first person to win this award in the history of the Timberwolves.

I have to say that Kevin Love is crazy this season.

On November 12, 2010, Love scored 31 points and 31 rebounds in the Timberwolves' home game against the New York Knicks.

His 31 rebounds are the Timberwolves' history rebounding record, and he became the player with the most rebounds in a single game after Charles Barkley grabbed 33 rebounds in a single game in 1996.

The last player who scored more than 30 points in a single game and grabbed more than 30 rebounds dates back to 1982, when Moses Malone scored 32 points and 38 rebounds in Houston's game against Seattle.

In mid-November 2010, Kevin Love scored 4 double 20 data, and the last time someone in the league played 4 double 20 in a single month, it can be traced back to 1991. At that time, Kevin Willis played 4 double 20 performances in November that year.

These four games are: 23 points and 24 rebounds on November 10, 31 points and 31 rebounds on the Knicks on the 13th, 32 points and 22 rebounds on the 25th, and 21 points and 22 rebounds on the 28th.

On February 8, 2011, he tied the record of former "Wolf King" Kevin Garnett for 37 consecutive double-doubles, and surpassed Kevin Garnett for 38 consecutive double-doubles to become the new "Wolf King" on February 9.

On February 24, he tied Moses Malone's record in 44 consecutive double-doubles, and on February 26, he surpassed Moses Malone's record in 45 consecutive double-doubles, becoming the first in history.

On March 14, 2011, Kevin Love's record of two-double was over, and the record number remained at 53 games.

Although many fans say that Kevin Love's data is moist, it is undeniable that he is indeed worthy of the title of the fastest-progress player this season.

In addition to announcing the fastest-progress player of the season on the same day, the league also announced the best defensive player of the season.

There is no doubt that the best defensive player this season is still Dwight Howard of the Magic's 'Warcraft'.

This is Dwight Howard's third consecutive season to win the best defensive player, and Dwight Howard has become the first player in league history to win this honor for three consecutive years.

This season, Dwight Howard averaged 14.1 rebounds, 2.3 blocks and a career-high 1.3 steals. He ranked second in the league in both blocks and rebounds per game.

The Magic have achieved a record of 60 wins and 22 losses in the regular season this year, ranking second in the Eastern Conference. It is unquestionable that Dwight Howard can make such great progress.

The Magic will also hold a press conference this afternoon local time to officially announce the news. The Best Defensive Player is also the second of several major prizes in the regular season this season.

After winning this award for three consecutive years this year, Dwight Howard, together with Ben Wallace (ben bo), has become the only player in history to win this award three times. Ben Wallace and Deakinbe Mutombo both won the best defensive player four times.

However, many fans have questioned Dwight Howard's honor has been won, and even some players have questioned it.

For example, Ron Artest of the Lakers, he received very few votes in the best defensive player and ranked only 18th.

Therefore, after the league announced the result, he expressed some dissatisfaction and doubts.

Memphis Grizzlies' strongman Tony Allen was also a little dissatisfied with the result, and he expressed his objection to the award selection on Twitter.

"I'm pretty weird! Dwight Howard won the best defensive player! What kind of players have he faced in the past season? Who else is there in the center?"

"I was excited...I don't want that award, I just want to know how he won the award."

Although Tony Allen said he didn't want to win this award, anyone knows that he really wanted to win this award.

It is undeniable that Tony Allen's defense is quite excellent, but compared with Dwight Howard, it is still a bit worse.

…………

On April 23, 2011, the Magic and his group came to Philadelphia again. This was their fourth game against the Sixers. As long as they win this game, they will be able to advance to the Eastern Conference semi-finals.

Although the 76ers have already lagged behind 0:3, their coach is very calm.

For 76ers coach Doug Collins, he doesn't care whether he is already behind 0-3. Doug Collins, who has always been optimistic, is still full of confidence in the game.

"Maybe it's because I'm always so optimistic," Doug Collins said in an interview with the media before the game. "I always said that as long as we still have a game to play, I think we still have a chance to win."

"Even if you have won 3 games, I still feel like I can beat you, that's what I want to say."

Regarding Doug Collins' remarks, Magic coach Stan Van Gundy also said before the start of Game 4: "Dog's attitude is very good, but what I want to say is that tonight, we will do our best to take another victory away from here."
