On April 26, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs continued, and there was another crazy night off the court, although the Warriors failed to make the playoffs, the core of the team Curry still won the award and was elected the best key player award this season; the Lakers fell behind the Nuggets 0-2, and there were discordant voices within the country at this time; the Clippers updated the latest injury report, and Leonard is still doubtful.
The NBA officially announced the Best Key Player Award for the 23-24 season, and Warriors star Curry was successfully elected.
The finalists were Curry, DeRozan and Alexander, and Curry received 45 first-place votes, 18 second-place votes and 19 third-place votes, beating DeRozan to win the grand prize with 298 points. This season, Curry scored 189 points in key moments (within 5 points in the last 5 minutes) and ranked first in the league in goals (59 goals) and three-pointers (32) in key moments.
The Lakers fell behind the defending champion Nuggets 0-2 in the first round, and suffered a 20-point reversal in the last game, which also disappointed the whole team. After the game, Davis said bluntly in an interview: "We have proven our ability, but we didn't know what we should do on both ends of the floor for a while. And this remark also made the Lakers feel uneasy and disappointed, in fact, Davis's words are still very reasonable, it was they who lost their way on both offensive and defensive ends, and finally led to the reversal.
This time the Lakers will return to their home court, they have no way out, only by winning the game can the suspense of the series return, once they lose again, it will be 0-3 down, and no team in the history of the NBA has been able to complete the big reversal of 0-3 down. In order to get into the better condition, James came to the arena early again and started training.
The Clippers lost home-court advantage with a 1-1 tie in the first two games of the series, and the next two games will be played on the road, and the team has arrived in Dallas to begin preparations. The Clippers updated their injury report, in which Leonard is still doubtful, but he has returned from the last game, and it is also on this list to be on the safe side. The Clippers are in the same situation right now, they need to win on the road to put themselves in a better position.
