Chapter 247 [I, regular season MVP.Nike, make money! 】

Before the regular season MVP is released, the 2004-2005 regular season best lineup is released first.

Very controversial.

But at the same time, it also shows how fierce the competition in this year's regular season is.

The five players on the first team are: Stephen Nash, Su Xi, Nowitzki, Tim Duncan, and Shaquille O'Neal.

After Dirk Nowitzki and Stephen Nash broke up, they each played the brightest moments of their careers.As a result, scoring champion Allen Iverson failed to enter the first team, and other small forwards in the league failed to occupy a position.

The five players on the second team are: Allen Iverson, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Kevin Garnett, Stoudemire.

The debate is bigger with the second unit.

Because the five players in the first team are generally uncontroversial. Suhi, Nash, and O'Neal are all the strongest contenders for the regular season MVP. Duncan's position is basically unbreakable. Nowitzki has performed the best performance of his career this year. , the record is also very good.

In this case, these five people will not be questioned.

But why is the second team?
Kobe Bryant and Tracy McGrady were all placed in the third team.

The third team is: Arenas, Kobe Bryant, Tracy McGrady, Shawn Marion, Ben Wallace.

As soon as the best team list was released, fans were very excited.So much so that NBA officials have come out to express their position, saying that the selection of the best team is based on various aspects such as record, personal data, media influence, etc.

This kind of fire extinguishing still failed to satisfy the fans.

By comparison, the All-Defensive team selections are less controversial.

Because the defense is clear at a glance. If you can defend it, you can defend it. If you can't defend it, you can't defend it.

Only take one subject.

The All-Defensive First Team list is: Suhi, Bruce Bowen, Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan, Ben Wallace.

When these five people are put together, there is no suspense.

The All-Defensive Second Team list is: Jason Kidd, Kobe Bryant, Kirilenko, O'Neal Jr., Marcus Camby.

There is no objection.

Although Artest's absence from the defensive lineup made Pacers fans a little angry, it is understandable after all, he has been suspended for so long.

But why can Ben Wallace enter?
Wasn't he suspended for a long time?

While fans were discussing and creating topics about the best lineup, the Pacers won their third game in New Jersey.

Suhi was widely welcomed in New Jersey, even though everyone thought the Nets had no hope of advancing.New Jersey fans are very happy to give their blessings to Su Xi. After all, Su Xi has always been considered the pride of New Jersey basketball.

New Jersey fans are proud of Susie. This is where Susie grew up.

After the game, a local reporter even asked Susie: "Why not bring your talent back to New Jersey? The entire Hudson River will be in a frenzy because of your decision."

Su Xi seemed at a loss when asked such a straightforward question, so he did not answer the reporter's question directly for the first time.

However, when faced with reporters’ questions about MVP ownership, Su Xi’s attitude was very firm. He said: “I am an All-Defensive first-team player, an All-NBA first-team player, one team, one defense, and the best record in the Eastern Conference. In addition, he averages close to a triple-double per game. Excuse me, if I don’t win the MVP like this, who will?”

Whether it is the team record or personal performance, Su Xi stands up.

Of course he wants to fight.

There is a bonus for the regular season MVP.

Who will have trouble with money.

Nike's head is numb now because of the original contract.

If Su Xi enters the best lineup during the contract period, he will be rewarded with a reward of 1000 million US dollars.

Winning the regular season MVP will reward you with US$2000 million.

Winning the finals MVP will reward you with US$2000 million.

If he wins the regular season MVP and finals MVP, he will be awarded an additional US$2000 million.

Su Xi's sneaker sales are very, very good this year, and the sales figures are astronomical.The Asian region has created an unprecedented legend, and North America is also selling extremely well.

Nike makes a lot of money.

However, if Su Xi wins the regular season MVP and wins the Finals MVP again, they will be equivalent to working for Su Xi.

At that time, when this contract was signed, who would have thought that Su Xi was so powerful?Making the All-NBA team is like chopping up melons and vegetables. Now he is heading straight for the regular season MVP.

The most important thing is that they feel that Su Xi hasn't exerted much strength yet.After all, there are still many experts in the basketball circle who question whether Xiaoyang Suxi is a superstar. They always think that his achievements are due to luck and good luck.

Nike regrets it now, super regrets.

Moreover, what I regret even more is... Phil Knight waved his hand, in order to motivate the little sheep Su Xi, saying that as long as Su Xi wins the regular season MVP or the finals MVP, Su Xi will receive a 5% dividend on sneaker sales.

This is another huge output.

If this continues, Nike will have to work for Suzy the Sheep.

At that time, Phil Knight believed that it was very far away for Sushina to win the Finals MVP or the regular season MVP, or even make the best team.You must know that James is as strong as the chosen one, and he only made the All-NBA team in the second season, and he is still in the second team.

But Su Xi could defend herself effortlessly.

The point is... no matter how you look at it, there is an element of luck, but why is it always Su Xi who is lucky and not others?
Generally speaking, you win the Finals MVP in your rookie season and compete for the regular season MVP in the second season.No matter how you say it, he should have the momentum of being the leader of the world, but now in the eyes of those authoritative experts, Su Xi is just an ordinary superstar, and the basketball media has not promoted it with great fanfare.

This makes Nike very sad.

Because the winnings they spent were real money.

They have decided to increase their publicity resources in the United States and must promote Suzy the Sheep.

Otherwise, wouldn’t this money be wasted?
In contrast, LeBron James's resources are not in vain.Although his honor and record are not as good as Su Xi's, he is still the chosen one. Many authoritative experts believe that he will definitely be better than the little sheep Su Xi in the future.Susie the Lamb is driving high and moving low, but LeBron James must be driving high and moving high!

When Su Xi spoke, everyone had to think carefully.

All past history proves that Su Xi, the little sheep, is a person who will take revenge. If he is slapped in the face, he will definitely catch those who offended him and beat them back one by one.

The third day after Su Xi said these words, he led the team to eliminate the New Jersey Nets.

In this game, he seemed to remind the fans: I also played very well in running and gunning.

He was directing fast offenses throughout the game. Under his leadership, the Pacers attacked at an extremely fast pace and finally defeated the Nets 132:101.

The scoring in this game was ahead of its time.

Jason Kidd said after the game: "If I had a vote, I would vote for Soucy the Sheep."

This season, the discussion between Nash and him is very in-depth. Everyone is saying that Nash has replaced Kidd as the league's number one point guard.

Kidd obviously doesn't want this to happen. After all, Nash was just his substitute many years ago.

At that time, he was still playing with the Mavericks.Supporting Su Xi, Kidd has his reasons. "Suzy the Lamb is a combination of O'Neal and Olajuwon at the point guard position. He has physical confrontation, speed, explosiveness, flexible movement and above-level passing. He can be both sharp and powerful. He can make breakthroughs and run quickly to open up the defense."

"His control of the game clearly goes beyond being a 'commander'; he is a strong finisher and a powerful distributor."

"Don't forget his leadership skills. Being able to take charge of a super strong team as a rookie is a huge test of leadership skills. It can be said that this is where Suxi the Lamb is really far ahead of other stars. Looking at the entire history of the NBA, nothing like this has ever happened."

Kidd's praise for Su Xi was simply disgusting.

But what he said is true.

The past remarks and actions of Pacers players have long proved this: the Pacers have only one core, and that is Suhi the Lamb.

Everyone is closely united around him. Anyone who dares to have a little disrespect for the little sheep Susie will have a Pacers warrior to 'shoot' him on the court.This group of vicious men gathered around Susie the Sheep, forming the most dangerous but harmonious team in the NBA.

Isiah Thomas often says: This is the modern version of the Bad Boys.

However, Stephen Jackson disagrees.He retorted forcefully: I read the Bible.

After sweeping the Nets [-]-[-].

The regular season MVP award is finally announced.

It's Su Xi.

But when the vote results came in, Suhi's victory was slim.He only beat Nash by 18 points, even trailing Nash in the first vote, and not much ahead of O'Neal. He was leading by a wide margin in the second vote.All voters who cast their first votes for Nash and O'Neal cast their second votes for Susie.

The 18-point lead also created the smallest point difference among NBA regular season MVPs in history, breaking the record for the smallest point difference between Karl Malone and Michael Jordan in the 96-97 season, when Karl Malone only led Jordan by 20 points.

Such a slim lead also made the media make a big fuss.

But Su Xi didn't care about this.

All he knew was that he won the regular season MVP and Nike would have to pay him a check for $2000 million.

This will bring a huge gain to Suhi's already wealthy account.

Phil Knight almost cried to congratulate Susie for winning the regular season MVP. He said on the phone: "Jack, let's sign a new contract, and I will directly give you the profit from the sneakers."

Su Xi said: "Let's talk about it after we finish this season."

Su Xi recently planned to invest in several Internet companies, and he needed money.Theoretically, he can also get $4000 million from Nike plus a 5% sneaker dividend.

This is stipulated in the contract.

Nike is full of regrets now. Phil Knight wishes he could travel through time and give himself a slap in the face at that time.

Now, he not only paid 2000 million, but also increased investment in media resources to promote Su Xi.

We must maximize the value of the regular season MVP.

This is the youngest regular season MVP in history and the youngest Finals MVP in history.

How can you not praise such a hard honor?
As soon as Nike spent money, voices praising Su Xi came out one after another.

When money stands up, what do those so-called 'principles' mean.

LeBron James smashed another plasma TV at the Super Palace in Cleveland.He was so angry that he fired the Goodwin brothers.

Su Xi's success made him feel so uncomfortable. Su Xi made money, which made him feel even more distressed than when he lost money.

Originally, he was Nike's number one favorite, and all media resources were thrown at him.

Now, Su Xi not only earns more than him, but Nike is also spending resources on Su Xi like crazy.

He was miserable.

He cannot accept it.

It was obvious that the little sheep Su Xi was just Pippin as my match, so why did he suddenly run in front of me?Why did he get so many honors?
If I had known earlier, it would have been better not to trade him.

If he stays by my side, I will shine even brighter.

James thought so.

But it was he who forced the management to trade the little sheep Su Xi.

The Cleveland management also regrets it. They are also thinking about how much better it would have been if they had not traded Suzy the Lamb?
...

Shaquille O'Neal took the time from his busy schedule to wish Susie, and he seemed very graceful.

"He certainly deserves regular season MVP, his data is so good, his record is so good. I have no objection to this result. Congratulations to him."

O'Neill said sincerely.

Then, he continued: "But, I have to tell him. It's the playoffs now, and the situation is completely different from before. My goal this year is to kill him and complete my revenge. I want to help the Heat win the championship, no No one can stop me from accomplishing this goal.”

"Our whole team is ready."

Shaquille O'Neal said confidently.

He has great spirit.

O'Neal is full of energy. Kobe and the Lakers did not make the playoffs this year, and he is very happy.In his calculations, if he leads the Heat to win the championship, the reputation of Kobe and the Lakers will be completely ruined, and everyone will laugh at the decision they made last summer.Just like people mocked Cleveland last summer.

Moreover, if he leads the team to complete revenge against the Pacers.Fans will also clearly understand: The person most responsible for the loss to the Pacers in last year's finals was not O'Neal, but Kobe!
O'Neal had a lot of plans.

And as he spoke, Kobe Bryant flew to Indiana.

He came here to guide the work. Of course, for a more important task, he came to recruit Su Xi.

He really wants Su Xi to join the Lakers and form a golden pair of guns with him in the new era.

Nash also delivered his defeat speech very gracefully.

"Thank you to the journalists and basketball experts who voted for me. For me, this past season was very important. We successfully proved that we are on the fast track to success."

"Although I didn't win the regular season MVP, I am still very grateful for this past season. Suzy the sheep performed very well and he deserves this award."

"Now, I will forget about the past. I will focus on moving towards my goal. Maybe, I will get another MVP this season?"

Stephen Nash is gentle yet powerful.

Sitting on the top spot in the regular season, of course he wants to get more, the Finals MVP.

However, the Suns are not the only team that wants to win the championship this year.

He still has a few hurdles to pass in the West.
