Chapter 219 The playoff background board is in place
On April 4, the NBA announced the list of the best players and best rookies in April.
东部这边，黄蜂队球星贾马尔-马格洛伊尔以场均21.7分12.1个篮板1.6次盖帽的数据，带领黄蜂队在整个4月份获得5胜3负的战绩，荣获东部月最佳球员。
In the West, Li Xuan beat Garnett to win the player of the month.
在4月份的比赛中，李轩以场均27.2分12.8个篮板3.3次助攻2.9次抢断3.2次盖帽的数据，带领小牛队在4月份获得8胜1负的战绩。
At the same time, Li Xuan once again won the honor of Best Rookie of the Month in the Western Conference.
After winning the Rookie of the Month award, Li Xuan also became the fourth player in NBA history to win the Rookie of the Month award in his rookie season after Ralph Sampson, David Robinson and Tim Duncan.
This achievement has also been achieved by LeBron James.
In April, he averaged 21.4 points, 5.8 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game and won the Rookie of the Month in the Eastern Conference.
With the end of the regular season, some other regular season awards have basically been determined.
Only the best rookie of the season flutters.
While Rookie of the Year is voted on by reporters and commentators, there is room for manipulation.
For the best rookie candidate this season, NBA Commissioner David Stern has a headache.
Originally it was based on voting, whoever got the most points would win the best rookie.
When Stern took a look at the voting data sent by his assistant, he frowned.
The performance of Li Xuan and James this season is obvious to all.
李轩场均数据为20+10，而詹姆斯的场均数据为20+5+5。
It stands to reason that both of them deserve the best rookie award.
But Stern wants a solution that has the best of both worlds, which can not only expand the influence of overseas markets, but also support the new generation of players in the league.
"It seems that this is the only way to do it."
Immediately, Stern wrote two names on the list and handed them over to Vice President Mark Tatum.
"The best rookie is announced on the list."
Tatum glanced at the list, secretly thinking that the president is smart.
"I'm going to get this done so the outside world has nothing to say."
After Tatum finished speaking, he turned and left the office to start working on this matter.

On April 4, after the Mavericks finished their daily training, they came to the tactical conference room for tactical arrangement.
"The Nuggets are not a weak opponent. Don't be careless, or you will pay a painful price."
Old Nelson reminded the players, and then arranged offensive and defensive tactics.
"Through analysis, the weakness of the Nuggets lies in the interior. Although their two interior players are very active in defense, they are very easy to lose their positions. This is very beneficial to us."
After the old Nelson analyzed the weaknesses of the Nuggets, he arranged targeted tactics.
"Dirk, you are the main offensive point of this round of the series and opened up the situation for the team."
"Okay, coach."
Nowitzki nodded and responded.
Immediately afterwards, Old Nelson arranged defensive tactics.
"Judging from the regular season, the Nuggets' top scorer is Carmelo Anthony. He may not be the main offensive point in the playoffs, but he has to be defended."
Old Nelson's analysis is very reasonable.
In the playoffs, using a rookie as the main offense, even if he is a "mad scientist", would not dare to be so bold.
But what Nelson didn't expect was that the Nuggets would do the opposite.
There is no way to do this. The Nuggets don't have strong offensive players, so they can only let Anthony top.
"Li, the task of defending Anthony will be entrusted to you. You will return to the third position. In the past two days, the team will train more to get used to it and adjust."
Old Nelson is also particular about this arrangement.
Rookie vs. rookie, both sides have no experience in the playoffs, so they can go through the adaptation period very smoothly and quickly adapt to the defensive intensity of the playoffs.
If you match up with those old birds and get targeted, it is very likely that you will overturn and affect your mentality, so that the entire series will be played very badly.
After all, there are many examples of rookies overturning in the playoffs.
"Coach, no problem, I will adapt to the third position in advance."
Li Xuan nodded, he didn't have any opinion, and the matchup with Anthony was just what he wanted.
Old Nelson glanced at Li Xuan, very relieved, and then assigned corresponding tasks to other players.
At the same time, the Nuggets are also making tactical arrangements.
George Karl looked at the players in front of him. He really couldn't compare with the Mavericks' luxurious lineup, but he was still able to fight.
"This round of the series will be dominated by Andre and Cameron. The two of you should familiarize yourself with the coordination tactics in the past two days."
"On the defensive end, Nene and Marcus are the two who protect the penalty area. You two have to get rid of the bad habit of getting out of position for blocking shots, otherwise the German can play you two around."
Camby didn't take it seriously. Although he failed to win the blocked shots this season, his blocking ability should not be underestimated.
"If the German dares to go to the basket, let him try the hot pot set meal."
And Nene was extremely distressed at this time. He couldn't help shivering when he thought of the No. 10 player of the Mavericks.
"I hope I don't have to face that rookie, otherwise this trip to the playoffs will be extremely tormenting."
George Karl didn't know what the two generals under his command were thinking at this time, and continued to assign their own tasks to other players.
Just as the two teams were preparing for the playoffs, unscrupulous media reporters from outside heated up the topic of the match between Li Xuan and Anthony.
Whether it is Ugly Country or China on the other side of the ocean, the fans are very much looking forward to this set of duels.
They met in the NCAA finals last year, and Li Xuan stole Anthony's championship.
After entering the NBA, Li Xuan completely suppressed Anthony, preventing "Little Melon" from being awarded the best rookie of the month in the Western Conference.
Moreover, in the four regular season matches, the Mavericks swept the Nuggets with a complete victory.
In the eyes of the fans, Li Xuan and Anthony are a pair of mortal enemies, and such a duel is interesting.
From Li Xuan's point of view, he and Anthony don't have much hatred or grudge, they just serve as masters and help their team win.
But Anthony didn't think so, he dreamed of defeating Li Xuan.
At this stage, his goal is to lead the team to defeat the top and deal a heavy blow to Li Xuan.
After the daily training, Anthony spoke his mind when he was interviewed by media reporters.
"The Mavericks are indeed very strong, but they are not invincible. Everything can happen in the playoffs. There are many examples of the next game. I will take practical actions to prove it. Let's wait and see!"
After this interview was hyped up by media reporters, it became very popular.
There is no doubt that Li Xuan must have seen this news report.
"If you want to create a miracle, it depends on whether you have the strength to prove it!"
Li Xuan is looking forward to the playoffs coming soon, and once again teaches the rebellious Anthony.
