NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

Chapter 221 Regular Season Award Presentation

The Bucks lost very naturally. Even if the 76ers of the home team won the Bucks, the applause at the scene was not very enthusiastic and sparse.

Ray Allen's performance was good, but the performance of the other two members of the Trident was a bit sorry for their fans.

Alien Cassel scored 17 points and 8 assists. Looking at the data, it is actually not bad, but when he was facing Iverson, Iverson scored 37 points.

The big dog Robinson had 11 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, not as good as his opponent Kirilenko.

During the draft in 94, the big dog at the time was all the attention. Even if he directly asked the Bucks for a 13-year, 1 million US dollar contract, the Bucks did not give up on him, but patiently negotiated with him, and finally signed the contract. A 10-year, $6800 million contract.

以目前的薪金水平来看，10年6800万，一个场均20+5+5的顶级全能小前锋只拿680万的年薪，算是性价比很高了。

But at that time, the contract was definitely a sky-high price. You must know that Pippen had an annual salary of only three million or so at that time.

It is precisely because of the exorbitant price of the contract that the big dog was labeled as arrogant.

In addition to being arrogant, he is also extremely lazy, often absent from the team's training camp, and spending time and drinking is even more common.

This kind of image is obviously not favored by Stern. Even if his strength is indeed strong enough, it is impossible for the league to promote him vigorously.

This is like Anthony later, the situation is very similar, except that Anthony is much more self-disciplined than the big dog.

It is human nature for the league not to promote these scandal-ridden players. After all, if the league wants to make money, it must not be entangled with these negative news.

In the next second game, the Big Dog played pretty well and scored 20 points. Unfortunately, they still couldn't deal with Iverson's point, and they still lost the game in the end.

After two games in the Eastern Conference semifinals, the 76ers have won two consecutive cities, and they have basically confirmed that they have won the tickets for the Eastern Conference finals.

Another group of duels in the Eastern Conference is now playing inextricably. Although the Knicks also scored a big score of 2:0, the difference between the two games is extremely weak.

They won by three points in the first game, and only won by one point in the second game. If it wasn't for Carter's lore failure, the Raptors might have the last laugh.

These two games are the home court of the Knicks, and then it is the home court of the Raptors. After losing the home court advantage, it is hard to say whether the Knicks can win.

Combe definitely still hopes that the Raptors can advance.

If he plays against the Raptors, he has a [-]% certainty of winning the Eastern Conference Finals, but if he plays against the Knicks, his certainty may be less than [-]%.

The Raptors' lineup is too traditional. Both Ben and Bus are so traditional inside players that they can no longer be traditional. The 76ers with Yao Ming are not afraid of traditional inside combinations at all.

"I've never looked forward to the regular season awards like I did today!"

Iverson summoned the crowd early and sat on the bench waiting for the award of the regular season honors.

"Allen, I think you have a good chance of winning the regular season MVP this year."

"You averaged 25.1 points and 12.6 assists per game, which is unique in NBA history. How could such a feat not win the MVP."

Oakley exclaimed.

Iverson's average of 25 points and 12 assists per game this season is indeed the only one in NBA history, and no one has ever been able to achieve this level of data.

At first glance, this data seems to be mediocre in the small ball era of later generations, but it is indeed the only season average data in history right now.

Season averages of more than 25 points per game abound.

Those who averaged more than 12 assists per game in the season can also find a lot.

But when these two data are combined, Iverson is the only one.

Ranked eighth in scoring, first in assists, and first in steals.

The basic data is extremely brilliant, and even his short board advanced data, this season has directly turned into a serf and sang, reaching the top level of the league.

For example, the true shooting percentage. In previous years, Iverson's true shooting percentage has been around [-]%, and there are even seasons when it is lower than [-]%.

Horizontal comparison McGrady is 52%, Carter is 53%, Kobe is 55%, obviously Iverson's true shooting percentage is the lowest.

But this year is completely different. Iverson's true shooting percentage has reached an astonishing 57%, which is in stark contrast to his previous seasons.

The main reason for the rapid improvement is Yao Ming.

In the past few seasons, Iverson took too many shots that should not have been taken, and his shooting percentage was naturally pulled down. Now, he has also learned to pass some shots that should not have been shot, and his shooting percentage has skyrocketed. The data also skyrocketed.

Even his short-board defense has actually improved a lot this season. It is definitely useless to be selected to the best defensive team, but among the point guard group, it is already at the upper-middle level.

To be reasonable, with Iverson's performance this season, he is definitely a well-deserved MVP.

"Don't say that, Dayao is still beside you."

"You have to know that he is just a rookie, averaging 25+18 per game. Have you ever seen such a rookie?"

"And when it comes to his contribution to the team's record, he is much bigger than me. When I led the team alone, I didn't even make it to the playoffs. Now we are number one in the league!"

"I think Dayao's MVP has been secured, at least I am not qualified to compete with him."

Iverson said very modestly.

Some valuable qualities can often be reflected in Iverson, such as humility, righteousness, and hard work, but there are also some negative things.

The data of Yao Ming's rookie season is indeed luxurious, at least the four major centers failed to play Yao Ming's level in their rookie season.

In fact, before Yao Ming landed in the NBA, Combe could roughly guess the data of Yao Ming's rookie season.

The score must be around 25 points.

After special training, Yao Ming's offensive ability is almost the same as that of his peak period. If he really wants to say that the difference is in the tonnage, he can't play hard at the basket in many cases.

However, after partnering with Iverson, he also had a lot more comfortable catches and shots at the basket. After offsetting each other, his scoring average should be similar to the 25 points at his peak.

Originally, Kumbu predicted that Yao Ming's rookie season averaged about 9 rebounds per game. As a result, he got Rodman's rebounding attributes by chance, and the direct rebounding data skyrocketed.

This is because Kongbu didn't take special care of Yao Ming. He wanted to give more opportunities to the outside line so as to accumulate some trading chips. If the team keeps playing around Yao Ming, Yao Ming's scoring average can reach at least 30 points per game.

"Me? Don't be kidding, I'm still far behind."

Yao Ming quickly waved his hands and laughed.

Kong Bu was speechless, and the two of them immediately gave in.

"It's started, it's started!"

"I don't know if I have an award this season."

Barkley rubbed his lips and said, in fact, he knew this question very well in his heart. Unless the league newly introduced a new 40-year-old player of the year award, he would definitely miss the regular season honors.

"I'm declaring the 2000-2001 Rookie of the Year..."

"Yao Ming!"

The generals of the 76ers didn't wait for Stern to finish speaking on TV, and they yelled collectively.

There is no suspense at all. After Yao Ming was eliminated in this draft, he is a very pitiful super young man. There are not many decent rookies, and Yao Ming's statistics and record are so explosive. Take this rookie of the year.

In the next rookie lineup, there was a situation that made Kongbu overjoyed.

The 76ers have a total of four rookies this year. Although Kombu only selected Yao Ming and Reid in the draft, Kirilenko and Ginobili also landed in the NBA this season, so they are also counted. rookie list.

All four players were selected to the rookie team, and the only one left is not the second pick Kenyon Martin, but the fifth pick of the Magic, Mike Miller.

Kenyon Martin is more than a miserable one. If Yao Ming hadn't run for the election, he would have been the No. [-] pick!

Now he has not won the No. [-] pick, and it is even more embarrassing that he has only been selected to the second team of the best rookie.

But if you want to say that the "No. [-] pick" in NBA history is worse than Martin, there are actually many people. There are four No. [-] picks, let alone a while, and they were not even selected for the rookie second team.

They are Kwame Brown, Oden the Great, Bennett the Water in the Water, and the 17-year champion Fultz.

Even the parallel importer Olowokandi was selected for the second team anyway.

Of course, Oden and Fultz have injury problems, which are excusable, and Kwame Brown and Bennett are really crouching dragons and phoenixes.

However, Kwame Brown's statistics and career years far exceed Bennett's. Looking at it this way, Bennett is really a peerless parallel importer.

"This is the magical power of Kong!"

"Four rookies are selected to the rookie first team at the same time, it is definitely a dreamlike draft vision."

Barkley began to boast.

After the rookie honors are released, the next ones are the Sixth Man of the Year and the Most Improved Player of the Year.

Ginobili directly won the honor of the sixth man. He averaged 14.2 points per game this season, coupled with the record blessing, he is firmly the best sixth man.

The Most Improved Player of the Year was won by Jaylen Rose of the Pacers.

Then comes the defense-related honors that Kumbu is most concerned about.

After all the results were announced, everyone in the 76ers looked embarrassed, because DPOY plus defense first and second teams, a total of eleven seats, and only one of them was selected.

DPOY was taken down again by Uncle Mu this year, but his DPOY this year has a lot of controversy, mainly because his block data is only 2.7.

Kirilenko was selected to the defensive second team. His average blocks per game reached 2.9 per game, and Daben averaged as high as 3.9 per game.

It is better to have a Kirilenko selected, even if it is only a second team, than to have his head shaved.

Just judging from the defense-related honors, the difference between the 76ers and the Raptors can be clearly seen.

When Combe coached the Raptors a few years ago, three players were selected to the defensive lineup in the least season.

The defensive strength of this 76ers is really incomparable compared with the previous Raptors.

"Okay, don't look disappointed, at least we still have Andre selected."

"Let's see the best team next." Kong Bu comforted everyone with a smile.

The best lineup: O'Neal, Big Zhi, Duncan, Kobe, Iverson.

All five of them are the absolute core of the top two teams in the East and West. Among them, the OK combination of the Lakers has all been selected for a round.

Kong Bu felt a little bit in his heart, feeling a little bad.

Ao Pang turned out to be in the first team, so Yao Ming must be in the second team. In this way, it is hard to say who will win the MVP this year.

The record of the Lakers ranks second in the league. In fact, it is only one win less than the 76ers, which is almost negligible in the MVP selection.

It seems that O'Pang's chances of being elected MVP are not lower than Iverson's at all.

The second team of the best team: Yao Ming, Daba, Carter, McGrady, Kidd.

As Kumbu expected, Yao Ming was selected to the second team.

As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and the Raptors still have two players selected to the second team of the best team.

The three teams of the best team: Big Ben, Garnett, Webber, Ray Allen and Payton.

Just from this best lineup, we can see the structure of the current league, which is completely a bunch of super powerful teams with some rotten fish and rotten shrimp teams.

Raptors' skinny camels are bigger than horses, two in second formation and one in third formation.

The Knicks' white money is not in vain, one DPOY, one for one team, and one for three teams.

The Lakers are not easy either, just for a while.

The Philadelphia 76ers have a first team, a second team, and various powerful new stars.

The Spurs have Duncan for a while, and the old general still has combat power. Their pair of twin towers can still beat most of the league's insiders.

Except for these five teams, the other teams can only be described as rotten fish and rotten shrimps. When facing these five superpowers, they have no power to parry at all.

The next MVP of the regular season was also guessed by Kongbu, and it was indeed won by Ao Pang.

There is really nothing wrong with him taking this MVP.

O'Pang's statistics this season are 24.7 points, 14.3 rebounds and 3.1 blocks per game. His scoring is similar to that of Yao Ming, his rebounds are slightly less than Yao Ming's, and his defensive performance is much stronger than Yao Ming's.

In addition, the league may also want to compensate O'Pang.

Tiantian said that he is the most dominant center in history, but it has been almost ten years since he entered the league, and he has not won a decent honor, which is really unreasonable.

Speaking of it, O'Fang is definitely unlucky. He was hanged and beaten by Jordan when he was young. Later, he finally hoped that Jordan would be old and he also came to the Lakers, but he was hanged and beaten by Combe's Raptors again.

This has led to him not to mention the championship in his hands all these years, and he didn't even get an MVP.

It just so happens that the Lakers' record this season is not bad, and O'Pang's statistics are also good enough, so he simply awarded this MVP as a kind of compensation.

Hearing that Ao Pang won the MVP, the 76ers will be very upset.

Iverson's face turned red with anger. He had high expectations for this MVP, and felt that he was almost guaranteed to win the MVP this year.

What he said to Yao Ming just now was purely modest.

As a result, neither he nor Yao Ming got it now, and it was cheaper for Ao Pang.

Even if Yao Ming won the MVP, Iverson would not be angry.

Yao Ming also showed disappointment. He knew that his chances of winning the prize were low, but he was still looking forward to it.

If Iverson won the award, he would accept it safely, but it happened that his only competitor, O Pang, won the award.

Kong Bu waved at the generals, "Okay, the awards are over, don't think too much."

"No matter what award it is, it is not as valuable as the championship."

"Next, our goal is to win the championship. As long as we win the championship, we will be the final winners!"
