After the game victory, the Nuggets began to celebrate their first playoff victory regardless of the Jazz's home court.

The Jazz players felt very uncomfortable. They had the second record in the Western Conference and had a home advantage, but their opponents won the victory.

After winning the away game, both the Nuggets’ management, coaching staff and players were full of confidence for a while, hoping to defeat the strong with the weak and complete the ‘Black Seven’!

At the subsequent post-match press conference, the media expressed surprise and praised the Nuggets' performance.

The strength of the two sides is not much different, but the Nuggets' response obviously restrains the Jazz, resulting in the Jazz's poor pick-and-roll operation and being restricted.

In the next game, the Jazz must change, otherwise there is a possibility of being "Black Seven" by the Nuggets.

After tonight, the second round of the East and West matches were all completed. Except for the Nuggets defeating the Jazz with a big score, there was no unexpected situation.

On the second day of his return to Denver, the league has announced several awards again, including Best Rookie, Best Coach, Best Manager, Fastest Progressive Player and more.

Among the best rookie candidates this season, this award is the least suspenseful. Chi Liang from the Denver Nuggets won 96% of the votes, second place was Vince Carter of the Raptors and third place was Paul Pierce of the Celtics.

In this season, Chi Liang participated in 41 games, 20 of which were the starters, averaging 34.2 minutes per game. Whether it was scoring, assists or steals, all ranked first in rookies, second in rebounds, and third in blocks.

Even in the history of the Nuggets, Chi Liang's rookie data can rank among the top three.

Winning the Best Rookie Award naturally means that Chi Liang has entered the Best Rookie Team, which is naturally unquestionable.

Best Rookie Team: Chi Liang, Carter, Pierce, Bibby and Jason Williams.

The second team of the All-Rookie: Matt Harplin, Dickson, Mobri, Jamison and Michael Olovokandy.

Poor Lafrenz, due to season reimbursement, was not selected.

As for Nowitzki, he has no outstanding performance in both team record and personal data, and he can only average 8.2 points and 3.4 rebounds per game, which is a certain gap with the selected players.

After the award was announced, Chi Liang received a lot of congratulations. In the whole day, he received calls or text messages from relatives, friends, players, teams and even endorsement manufacturers, congratulating him on winning the award.

In addition, the team also held a small celebration for him, and the staff brought him flowers, and the Nuggets players and coaches personally sent congratulations to Chi Liang.

In addition to the best rookie, Mike Dunleavy, then head coach of the Trail Blazers, won the award, which was the first time he has won the best honor for this representative coach since he started his career.

Under the direction of Dunleavy, the Trail Blazers won 35 wins and 15 losses, with a winning rate of 70%, ranking third in the West.

There is no suspense about the Best Manager Award this season. This time the Nuggets won again. George won nine points for this award voted by the general managers of each team, which means that nine peers recognized his ability.

In the operation of the shrinking season, George first selected Chi Liang with the No. 23 pick in the first round, and then exchanged for All-Star player Van Exel with a bargain price, and finally caught top power forward Mike Dys in the free market, which also created conditions for the Nuggets to enter the playoffs.

After receiving the news, Chi Liang immediately called George to congratulate him. George choked on the phone. This was his first season as the general manager of the Nuggets and never thought of having the chance to win the Best Agent Award.

The winner of the fastest player award this season is Darrell Armstrong. Compared with last season, Armstrong's data has improved significantly, which is also the main reason for his award.

Before the third game began, the league also announced the winners of the Sports Spirit Award.

The Sports Spirit Award was founded in the 1995-1996 season to recognize the moral behavior, fair competition and honesty of players in the NBA arena, and was named after its first winner Joe Dumas, so it is also known as the Joe Dumas Award.

The award is first selected by each team, and then a selection team composed of former NBA stars Mike Banton, Eddie Johnson, Tom Sanders, Kenny Smith and Steve Smith select winners from various divisions from the numerous nominees, and finally the final winner is voted by all players.

Most of the winners of this award are players who are elegant in playing basketball, with good reputation and popularity. Therefore, under normal circumstances, players with strong performance generally cannot win this award, and are more keen on outside players.

Among them, the Nuggets nominated Chi Liang and successfully obtained the right to qualify.

Unfortunately, Chi Liang had just entered the league and had no popularity and did not win this award.

Ultimately, the Seattle Supersonics' Hesey Hawkins won the Joe Dumas Award.

After a day off, the Nuggets took the home court and began to face the Jazz's challenge.

Denver City, Pepsi Center!

A large number of fans began to gather, and for a moment the stadium became a sky blue ocean, filled with endless hustle and bustle.

Before the game begins, players from both sides come to the player channel and start the entry ceremony.

"The first one is Chi Liang, who invites us to the Light of Denver, the King of Section 4 and the Triple-Double King!"

When DJ introduced the scene, the atmosphere instantly boiled, and countless fans cheered, releasing all their enthusiasm and energy to express their welcome to Chi Liang.

In terms of popularity, even McDyce and Chi Liang have enough gaps.

Under the introduction of DJ, players from both sides soon came to the stadium and began to warm up.

Chi Liang picked up a basketball and started shooting.

Swish~swish~swish~

"Hey, I'm in good condition!"

He scored several three-pointers in a row, and he entered the net again and again, which also made Chi Liang smile.

Perhaps because he became the best rookie, or for other reasons, Chi Liang was full of strength, and he could only be described as having an excellent condition.

However, although his personal condition is important, if he wants to win, his teammates' condition is equally important. Otherwise, no matter how good his condition is, it will be difficult to win.

"The Nuggets' home court feels hotter than the last time!" Stockton frowned while shooting.

"Yes, this game is not easy to play!"
Chapter completed!
