Chapter 825: Double Formation One

The Warriors narrowly defeated the Jazz and played their most scorching game since the playoffs in Salt Lake City.

Overall, the Warriors led 3-0, with the Jazz stepping on the edge of a cliff with one foot in the final comeback and little hope of winning the series.

After Game 3, the NBA announced the Rookie of the Year for the 07-08 season.

Scola was named to the All-Rookie First Team with his outstanding performances, with Durant, Hawks' Horford, Clippers' Thornton, and Celtics' Jeff Green occupying the remaining four spots in the All-Rookie First Team.

Durant's selection is undisputed, as he has been named the Western Conference Rookie of the Year five times in November, December, January, February and April, while also being named the Rookie of the Season winner. This season, Durant is averaging 20.3 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game, 7.6 points higher than the second-place finisher. And he's only missed two games this season, and he's the only rookie to be the team's No. 1 in scoring, blocks, steals, shots and shooting percentage. So his selection is well deserved.

Horford, who has been voted Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month three times this season, has 25 double-doubles this season, placing him at the top of the rookie list. He also grabbed 9.7 rebounds per game, which ranks first among rookies and 13th in the league. In terms of scoring, Horford averaged 10.1 points per game and ranked sixth on the rookie list.

Scola's second half was much better than the first, averaging 6.4 rebounds per game and 10 double-doubles to finish second on the rookie list. Thornton averaged 12.7 points per game and ranked second on the rookie scoring list, while Jeff? Green is in fourth place with 10.5 points.

The rookie players on the rookie second team are the Rockets' Carl Landry, as well as the Raptors' Moon, the Grizzlies' Navarro, the 76ers' Thaddeus Young, and the Pistons' Starki.

The Warriors have not had a rookie rookie roster since last year, and in the past two years, the Warriors have no longer focused on developing young players, but more to directly increase the team's immediate combat effectiveness.

The Rockets are the most peculiar on this list, such a mature team has actually been selected for the two best rookies, and the level of selection of general manager Morey seems to be somewhat surprisingly good.

The next afternoon, the NBA officially announced the All-NBA roster.

Newly named MVP, Yang Di led the first team with a high 635 points, and the other players who were selected to the first team were Dwight Howard, LeBron James, Kobe Bryant and Chris Paul.

Young Di was named to the All-NBA team for the third year in a row, with Dwight Howard and Chris Paul both for career firsts.

In the center position, Howard defeated Yao Ming to win the honor of the best center, which made Rockets fans feel unhappy, and from the perspective of the selection mechanism, American feelings accounted for the vast majority of the factors.

Compared to Howard and Yao Ming, the two are indistinguishable in terms of statistics, Howard has improved significantly in the regular season this season, averaging a league-high 14.2 rebounds per game, in addition to averaging 20.7 points and 2.2 blocks per game. He also posted a league-high 69 double-doubles this season, including eight double-doubles of 20. With these outstanding stats, Howard was named to the First Team, the first time the Magic had a player named since the 1995-96 season.

Paul led the Hornets back to the playoffs, averaging 11.6 assists and 2.7 steals per game this season, winning both the league's assists and steals honors, the first time since Stockton in 1992 that a player has won both accolades, and he also averaged a team-high 21.1 points per game.

Nash, Deron Williams, Tim Duncan, Garnett and Yao Ming were named to the second team of the season.

Ginobili, Ray Allen, Pierce, Nowitzki and Stoudemire were named to the third team of the season.

The Warriors' Byron finally failed to be selected to the best team, which made Bay Area fans a little unhappy, and Byron Davis also had 17 points and 9 assists this season, plus the record bonus, he must be eligible to be selected for the best team, but in the final selection, he lost to Ginobili and his teammate Ray Allen, and was squeezed out of the guard line.

But the Warriors have Yang Di and Ray Allen selected, which can be regarded as a great affirmation, and a congratulatory message was hung on the official website to congratulate Yang Di and Ray Allen on being selected for the best team.

Byron must have been a little upset, but in an interview, he still said that he was focused on the game.

"I'm not thinking about that, we're in the playoffs right now, we're on the right path, we're all about the game, the priority is to beat the Jazz, get to the Western Conference Finals, and then get to the Finals, lift our third championship, and as for the All-Season selection, that's not particularly important, God, 10 years, 20 years from now, people will still talk more about this great Warriors, some of the players that have been on that team."

In the West, the Lakers beat the Spurs 2-1, and at the Spurs' home court, the Lakers lost the game 83-86 and felt the NBA's most layered defense.

In the East, the Pistons beat the Magic 2-1, and the Magic, who returned to their home court, defeated the Pistons 111-86 and pulled one back.

The Celtics 2-1 Cavaliers, the Cavaliers who returned to their home court also pulled one back, four games, except for the Warriors who won the road with difficulty, the others were all in the same mode, winning at home and losing away.

Game 4 of the NBA's Division Semifinals.

The first game to start was the game between the Celtics and the Cavaliers, the two sides battled for four quarters, and finally the Cavaliers won the game 88-77, relying on super defense, and finally won the game, James and O'Neal combined to contribute 51 points, of which O'Neal scored 28 points, which was the main offensive point of the Cavaliers.

The Pistons beat the Magic, 90-89, and narrowly beat the Magic by one point.

Howard was completely lost in this round of the series, scoring only 8 points, which is too much different from the 20+20 performance in the last round of 5 games and 3 games.

Coupled with the fact that this is the time when the All-NBA Team is at its most hot, the question of whether Howard should be selected for All-NBA has become even more acute. Many experts and commentators changed their tune by this time, claiming that Yao Ming was more qualified to be selected for the best team for a while.

The Lakers and Spurs played an offensive battle, losing 115-123 to the Spurs and tied the game 2-2 overall.

Only the series between the Warriors and the Jazz looks like a foregone conclusion, and the Warriors have been very stable after taking a 3-0 lead, and no team can win four games in a row against the Warriors.
