Chapter 374 The Strongest Insider Combination

The results of the NBA's 2008-09 regular season coach selection, the Clippers' head coach Mike Dunleavy was not unexpectedly elected as the coach of the year and will receive the Best Coach Trophy named after "Cardinale" Auerbach.

Dunleavy scored a total of 455 points in the selection voted by 122 sports reporters and commentators, including 75 first-ranked ballots. The rule for the selection is that each voter selects three coaches in order, with 5 points in the first choice, 3 points in the second choice, and 1 point in the third choice. Dunleavy scored a total of 75 first-ranked ballots, 21 second-ranked ballots and 17 third-ranked ballots, with a total of 455 points.

Dunleavy, the old leader, led the Clippers to 68 wins and 14 losses in the regular season (win rate of 83.0%), and is the sixth team in history to achieve 68 wins in a single season. The Clippers are so powerful at home this season, with 14 consecutive victories at the beginning of the season, and finally achieved the best home record of the league this season with 38 wins and 3 losses. The Clippers are also the first team to win 38 home games since the 1996-97 season. The last team was the King Bulls of the Michael Jordan era. And compared with the 52 wins and 16 losses last season, the Clippers have won 16 more games this year.

Dunleavy, the old man won the Best Coach of the Month four times this season, in November, December, February and April of this year. During the All-Star offseason, the Clippers led the Western Conference, giving Dunleavy the honor to become the head coach of the Western Conference All-Star team. This is the first time that Dunleavy was elected as the head coach of the All-Star team and the first time in the history of the Clippers.

The NBA 2008-09 regular season sixth man selection result. Jason Terry, the defender from the Dallas Mavericks, lived up to expectations and defeated the Clippers' Jamal Crawford and the Nuggets' JR Smith in the selection and won the award.

The best sixth-person award of this season was voted by 121 media reporters and commentators from all over the United States and Canada. The winners were then selected by counting the scores. The scoring standard was to vote for three votes per person. The first vote was 5 points, the second vote was 3 points, and the last vote was 1 point. Among the total 121 first votes, Terry won 75, plus 6 second votes and 3 third votes, Terry scored a total of 408, leading second place Jamal Crawford 70 points, and the advantage was not great. It can be said that Terry's election was related to Ji Guoqiu's too many awards, so the candidates could not award all the awards to the Clippers.

A prerequisite for winning the best sixth man is that the number of substitutes is more than the starting lineup. In the 74 regular season games of the Mavericks this season, Terry made 63 substitutes and only 11 starts, but his average time per game still reached 33.6 minutes, with a score of 19.6 points, the second highest in his career. In addition, Terry can contribute 2.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.3 steals per game.

As an outside pitcher, Terry's 2-point shooting percentage was high, reaching 46.3%, and his three-point shooting percentage was slightly lower than 36.6%. However, Terry still ranked 10th in the league in 167 three-point shooting this season. In addition, Terry's free throw shooting percentage was 88%, and his steals were 17th in the league.

The results of the NBA's fastest-progress player selection in 2008-09 season, Danny Granger of the Indiana Pacers officially won the 2008-09 season's fastest-progress player award.

Granger scored a total of 364 points in the selection of the fastest-progress player of the year. 48 of 121 sports media and television commentators from the United States and Canada shot the first place to him. Devin Harris of the New Jersey Nets scored 339 points and Kevin Durant of the Oklahoma City Thunder scored 83 points to 3.

In his fourth season in the league, Granger averaged 25.8 points per game, ranking fifth in the league. This data has improved by 6.2 points compared to his performance last season (19.6 points per game in 2007-08) and 9.4 points higher than his career average. Granger also became the first player in NBA history to have averaged more than 5 points per game for three consecutive seasons.

Granger has played 67 games this season, averaging 5.1 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game. In 49 games, he became the Pacers' highest scorer in a single game, including 13 of the last 14 games. In the last 14 games of the Granger's game, his three-point shooting percentage reached 44.8% (43 of 96 shots), and his 182 three-point shooting total hits ranked third in the Pacers' history.

The results of the NBA 2008-09 Sports Spirit Awards were selected, and Chauncey Billups of the Clippers defeated Ray Allen and five other players.

The NBA set up the Sports Spirit Award to commend the players' competitive spirit, sports ethics and social contributions. In this selection, each team can nominate a player of the team, and then a seven-player expert group will select the winners of each sub-district, and the winners of six sub-districts will enter the final selection. The members of the expert group include: Mike Benthom, John Crotty, Eddie Johnson, Jalen Rose, Tom Sanders, Kenny Smith, Chris Webber. The final award will be generated by the votes of all players. Each vote will sort the six candidates in sequence. The first place is 11 points, the second place is 9 points, the third place is 7 points, the fourth place is 5 points, the fifth place is 3 points, and the last place is 1 point.

Billups finally won 82 first-choice votes, 69 first-choice votes, 73 third-choice votes, 64 fourth-choice votes, 38 fifth-choice votes and 10 sixth-choice votes, with a total score of 2478 points. Ray Allen, ranked second, won 76 first-choice votes, with a total score of 2092 points. In the third place, Antonio McDyce, the veteran who is loyal to the Pistons, also scored a high score of 2018 points.

Billups eventually defeated Ray Allen and McDace, and he will win the "Joe Dumas" trophy, named by former Pistons star Joe Dumas. Dumas has always maintained excellent sportsmanship in the 14 seasons of the NBA, so in 1996, the NBA decided to award him a sportsmanship award. This selection was later continued, and a winner was selected after each regular season. At the same time, the NBA also linked this selection to the care action, and the league will donate to the public welfare undertakings supported by Billups.

The results of the NBA's 2008-09 regular season rookie selection, the No. 1 pick in 2008, Bulls defender Derek Ross won the NBA's Rookie of the Year title as expected.

The selection does not determine the position on the court, but the team players cannot be selected. The first lineup vote is 2 points, the second lineup vote is 1 point, the five players with the highest total score are selected into the first lineup, and the players with the 6th to 10th points are selected into the second lineup.
