In the second half of the second quarter, Paul's performance was perfect. If he was a god in one battle, it might not be impossible.

During the break, the Warriors were silent in the locker room. After the game, Old Nelson recalled: "We were frightened by Chris' performance. It seemed that we were not the one who led the score B0 at that time. At that time, I heard George's poor child talking to himself stupidly and asked if we could advance.

Maybe you sounded a bit exaggerated, but if you were in the situation at that time, you would understand how we felt, it was really scary.”

At the start of the second half, Nelson had to send the strongest lineup, with Chamberlain and Ibaka controlling the inside, the small forward was paired with a scattered gold Jamison, and the backcourt was handed over to the energetic West and Curry.

After the start of the game, the Warriors did not rashly attack, but focused on the defensive end first, and they wanted to curb the Hornets' offensive.

The Warriors themselves know their offensive firepower. They cannot fight against the Hornets because the latter has a complete feel. If they fight against them, they will be overwhelmed by the Hornets' terrifying firepower.

However, the Hornets were already red-eyed, and Paul was like a general charging into battle. He had already taken the lead in attacking, and there was no reason for others not to strive for the first place.

So, at the beginning, Peja ran and received the ball and stopped and made a jump shot. The atmosphere finally became enthusiastic. The cold New Orleans fans were also stimulated by the Hornets' explosive style of the game and cheered and screamed.

Then, Okafor covers Paul at a high position, and the two played a classic cooperation. A pick-and-roll then advanced from the left and right wings. Paul leads Chamberlain away, and Okafor takes the ball to the basket and dunks.

The Warriors' offense had problems. West passed the ball, and the latter was stuck in the back run by Bailineli, and made a mistake. Taking advantage of this mistake, Paul planned a triangle pass at a high position, and Bailineli, who was ambushing the bottom, made a three-pointer.

With 7 minutes and 2 seconds left in the third quarter, with Ross' mid-range shot, the Hornets scored a 0-hit and gained an advantage with 574B.

Old Nelson called for a timeout, and the old coach finally got angry and went to Nima's defense and attacked.

After receiving the order, the Warriors launched a counterattack. Curry made a three-pointer from the way up, Chamberlain made a mid-range shot, and the two worked together to slowly narrow the gap between the scores.

With 40 seconds left in this quarter, Chamberlain blocked Paul's breakthrough layup, the Warriors launched a fast break counterattack, three against one in the frontcourt, Carter no longer passed the ball after receiving the ball, and ended with a one-handed dunk, the Warriors chased the score to 666

The Hornets were stopped by the Warriors' firepower, and Paul made a three-pointer after the timeout. In the end, the Hornets ended the first three quarters with 66.

This is the first time the Warriors have been in the fourth quarter with an advantage since April, so the whole team is anxious.

The fourth quarter started, and the Warriors started with a dunk from Chamberlain's mid-lane assault, and the Hornets finally began to feel cold. This was simply fatal for a team that relies on their energy and feel.

The Hornets missed 6 consecutive shots, and the Warriors overtook 269 after hitting the 1 attack wave.

Only when there were still B minutes and 05 seconds in this section did the Hornets get dunked by Asik.

Since then, the Warriors have also missed consecutive shots. After Paul made a breakthrough layup, Chamberlain made a foul, he made two free throws. In the end, the Warriors took the lead again and entered a stalemate stage.

The Hornets finally saw the dawn of victory. This was the first time they could win in the playoffs. Paul was sweating profusely and he was crazy. He broke through and made crazy layups. Even though Chamberlain ruled the inside and made classic attacks repeatedly, the two teams still tied many times.

With 1 minute and 2 seconds left in the fourth quarter, Paul made a layup and caused Ibaka to foul again. He made two free throws, and the Hornets led by 84, but after 2 seconds, Chamberlain immediately returned. After receiving Curry's pass, he pretended to shake off the defender and made a jump shot on the left, and the Warriors surpassed again.

Peja made a foul by jump shot, and with 1 minute and 10 seconds left in this quarter, the two sides made 85-

After the two teams missed the shots one after another, Chamberlain was uttered an inexplicable offensive foul in B second before the end of the game.

This call made Chamberlain stunned. He kept defending, but it was useless. The Hornets got the chance to win, but under West's close defense, Paul missed the last shot and quickly passed the ball to Peja. As a result, Curry took a steal. Unfortunately, there was no time to counterattack at this time, and both sides entered overtime.

The inexplicable call that had been heard completely angered Chamberlain. When it was overtime, he found an opportunity to start revenge.

He took the ball with the jump ball, then attacked in the penalty area, causing the opponent to foul. He first made two free throws, and then scored in the open position, and one man scored 4 points in a row.

The Hornets finally couldn't hold back their breath. As the saying goes, one move will fade away again and again. The Hornets started to cheer up from the second quarter, and it was already the limit to be able to cheer up until the end. In overtime, they could no longer bear it. No matter in terms of physical strength or strength, they were not as good as the Warriors.

In overtime, the Hornets did not make their first shot by Paul until 2 minutes and 33 seconds.

On the Warriors, Chamberlain continued to attack and attack hard, and West and Curry also succeeded one after another. With 1 minute and 3 seconds left in the game, the Warriors led 93-9.

The Hornets made a mistake in serving at a critical moment, and Paul did not receive the ball and was intercepted by West, who was defending him.

The Mad Dog grabbed the ball and then passed it to Chamberlain, who turned around and dunked at the basket, so their lead reached 6 points.

The Hornets finally started betting on three-pointers, and the whole game was silent, but Paul, who was in a hot game, made a series of blacksmiths at the last moment, Chamberlain controlled the rebound, and the Warriors finally controlled the victory.

The Hornets could only get the opportunity to serve through fouls, but they did not seize these opportunities. After the overtime game, the Warriors cheered up and down, 100, they swept the Hornets four to zero, and advanced to the semi-finals with their heads held high.

On the second day after the Warriors advanced, the NHA officially announced to the outside world that Clippers forward player Blake Griffin won the Rookie of the Year Award. In this Rookie of the Year vote, Griffin won the first vote among all voters. This situation of being elected Rookie of the Year unanimously is the second place after Chamberlain.

In his rookie season, Griffin played in all eight regular season games. He ranked first among all rookies in both scoring and rebounding. He averaged 6 points per game and ranked fourth in the league in the league.

Griffin said in his honor of Rookie of the Year award: "My teammates, everyone on our team has done a great job. This has helped me a lot in the past year. In fact, I have had a lot of ups and downs in the past year, but I have also learned a lot about the game in the process. Everyone helped me get out of injuries and get to this point today. I am very excited about the direction the Clippers are moving forward. We have laid a solid foundation now and we can't wait for the start of next season."

The Warriors became the first team to advance in the league. They swept the Hornets 40, but this was expected. After all, in comparison, the Hornets are not strong enough and lack major generals. The Warriors' ability to advance was advertised before the game.

However, the four-to-zero sweep still made the opponents secretly shocked. After all, Paul on the opposite side was not an ordinary person.

This playoffs portrayed Paul as a tragic hero. In the last game, he bravely scored 4l points, 10 rebounds, and B assists, so that even if the Warriors advanced, the media was paying attention to Paul at that time.

Of course, Paul has also attracted a lot of attention from teams, such as the Knicks. The New York media took the stance of praising James last summer and promoted Paul's joining the Knicks in various ways.

Magic fans who also need a super point guard are also looking forward to him. The Orlando All-Star even e Paul panting with the Magic No. 3 jersey passing the ball to the Warcraft, using the title "We are waiting," which reports the news about the team chasing Paul.

Paul's departure from the Hornets is a foregone conclusion.

Even if he played so well, he was swept out by the Warriors this season. This is so heartbreaking. Unless the Hornets make strong enough reinforcements in the summer, Paul will not be able to stay here anyway.

The former place of love has now become Paul's place of heartache.

Considering that the league is entrusting the Hornets, and in order to reduce the Hornets' expenses, the league must send Paul, who is the highest-paid one, so other teams are now eyeing Paul.

After the Warriors advanced, the playoffs were still in progress, and at the same time, there were a series of awards.

Then the fastest-progress player award was released. The Timberwolves finally got over it, and the award was taken away by Kevin Love.

The selection results were generated by a total of 16 sports journalists, editors and commentators from all over the United States and Canada. A total of 6 people voted for Kevin Love, and he won the fastest-progress player award this season with an absolute advantage of 400 points.

The second place is the Trail Blazers' Aldridge, who scored 157 points. West ranked first with 24 points, and the sixth place in E are the Bulls' Rose and Nets' Humphreys.

Love was selected for the All-Star Game for the first time in his career. Data shows that the Timberwolves won the rebounding champion of this season with an average of 15.2 rebounds per game in the regular season. In addition, he scored a total of two-doubles, averaged 2.2 points and 26 assists, shooting percentage of 47%, three-point shooting percentage was 4 [7%, and free throw percentage was 2%. The above data set a career high for Love.

This season, Love started all 73 games in the regular season, while he made only 2 starts in 6 appearances in the 209-10 season. Compared with last season, Love's average score increased by 44% and rebounds per game increased by 3%.

When the first round of the playoffs was about to end, on April 2, the league awarded the Best Defensive Player Award. There was no doubt about this award, and it was prepared for Chamberlain.

In fact, these awards were first given first for the Best Defensive Player Award. The reason why this season was so late is because the league is discussing whether this honor is still necessary.

The existence of honor is to motivate players to compete, and no one can shake Chamberlain's position at all. The Philadelphia Sentinels called on the league to get a "second defense player award, let's just let others compete for this award, which is more interesting than watching Chamberlain win the Best Defensive Player Award every year in the next ten years.

Since entering the first season of the league, Chamberlain has been a regular holder of this award. To be honest, Chamberlain himself is a little tired of it, but the defense of others is too weak, and his defense is so perverted, so it is impossible not to give him this honor.

So, as the first round of playoffs approached, the fans began to discuss reforms about the Best Defensive Player Award.
