What is the schedule for the NBA Playoff Semifinals on May 5?
According to the NBA's official website, there were two games on May 5, namely: the first game was played by the Heat at home to the 76ers (played at 7:30 a.m.), and the second game was played by the Lone Rangers on the road to the Suns (played at 10:00 a.m.). Regrettably, after checking the program list of CCTV Sports Channel, it can be seen that there is no broadcast arrangement for related events.
In the previous game, the 76ers, lacking home star Embiid, fell behind the Heat across the board and lost 92-106. According to the latest reports, Embiid is expected to return in G3 or G4 matches, so the two teams meet again, or optimistic about the Heat's next city. As for the Suns and the Lone Rangers, due to the obvious difference in overall strength between the two sides, they still support the Suns to win.
What happened to Hiro winning the grand prize?
In the playoff semifinals G1 game, Hiro received a luxurious data of 25 points and 7 assists in the case of 29 minutes and 19 seconds off the bench; and during the regular season, Hiro could get a comprehensive data of 20.7 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists per game; even in the playoffs, Hiro, as a substitute, could still contribute 14.9 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game, which was the core of the Heat's offense and defense on the bench.
Based on his outstanding performance, Hiro managed to win the best sixth man award of the season. According to the NBA's official announcement of the votes, Hiro received 96 1st pick votes, 2 2nd picks and 2 3rd pick votes, a total of 488 points, 274 points ahead of the 2nd place Cavaliers player Lefour, which shows that Hiro won this honor.
For Hiro, who is only 22 years old, the "best sixth man" is the biggest award he has won so far in his career and the biggest recognition of his ability to compete, and he is expected to have a better performance.
Why is Paul expected to break the record again?
In the last game, Paul had 19 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block to help the Suns beat the Lone Rangers. According to post-game statistics, Paul's career playoff total assists have accumulated 1144 times, surpassing the Spurs' star Parker's 1143 times, ranking 5th in NBA history.
It is worth mentioning that Paul is expected to break another historical record. In the latest NBA playoff all-time scoring list, Paul ranks 34th with 2819 points, just one point behind Celtics star Parrish and 14 points behind "Big Mouth" Barkley.
During the playoffs this season, Paul can average 21.9 points per game, so if there is no accident, his total playoff points will surpass two NBA stars in a row to 32nd in history, so let's wait and see.
