Chapter 202 [Missing the Best, Gaining Five Points]
The second round of the NBA playoffs is in progress, and the regular season awards are being announced one after another.
Gary Payton won the Defensive Player of the Year award this season with 49.5% of the votes, becoming the first point guard in history to be elected the Defensive Player of the Year.
Yang Jian gained an attribute point as a result, and the system determined that he had witnessed history. As a teammate, he watched Payton's wonderful performance on the defensive end at close range, and he learned a lot and benefited a lot.
However, Payton can win this award mainly because the league compensates the Sonics. This means that the Sonics will miss out on the other two awards.
If we look at the role of players in the defensive system, interior players and small forwards are more qualified to win the Best Defensive Player Award. It is more reasonable to award the Best Defensive Player Award to Pippen. The Bulls' defensive efficiency this season ranks first in history.
But in that case, the Bulls would take all the awards, which is even more unreasonable.
Why do the two teams have the same regular season records and break records together, so the awards go to the Bulls?!
President David Stern is not unwilling to praise Yang Jian, but it is really impossible for him to let Yang Jian become the regular season MVP in his rookie season. That would be too controversial and would be counterproductive and make North American fans hate Yang Jian.
All-Defensive First Team: Payton, Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman, David Robinson.
Defensive second team: Mookie Blaylock, Bobby Fiers, Derek McKay, Horace Grant, Hakeem Olajuwon.
Bobby Fiers' selection to the All-Defensive Team is directly related to Yang Jian. He did a good job guarding Yang Jian twice. However, Fiers has not been selected as an All-Star and cannot provide Yang Jian with attribute points or skill extraction.
.
The main reason why Phils failed to achieve much in the NBA was that he died. In a parallel world, Phils died in a car accident in Charlotte on January 12, 2000.
At that time, Phils and his teammate David Wesley were racing on the highway at a speed of 121 kilometers per hour. Phils' Porsche rear-ended another car, and the car overturned and hit another car.
A truck. The other two drivers in the accident were not seriously injured, but Phils unfortunately died on the spot.
This is the consequence of poor driving skills. Sprewell was driving faster and had a car accident, but he was not a problem at all.
Yang Jian won the Rookie of the Year award without any suspense and was unanimously elected. He also received an attribute point because he broke the record of the lowest draft pick of the Best Rookie of the Year set by Mark Jackson.
Compared with Yang Jian, Mark Jackson, the 18th pick in the first round, became a high-ranking player. The new record can never be broken by anyone, because Yang Jian is an undrafted rookie, and the same person who appears in the future will only be able to tie his record.
.
There are six players on the All-Rookie Team: Yang Jian, Damon Stoudemire, Jerry Stackhouse, Michael Finley, Joe Smith, and Antonio McDyess.
Rookie second team: Tyus Edney, Brent Barry, Kevin Garnett, Bryant Reeves, Arvydas Sabonis.
Rasheed Wallace did not make the All-Rookie team, and Yang Jian changed his history and gained an attribute point.
Rashid's attendance rate was not high enough and he only played 65 games. His efficiency was also average, scoring 10.1 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 27.5 minutes. However, despite his height of 211cm, he could not grab many rebounds.
The best sixth man is Toni Kukoc of the Bulls. He is a star sixth man, averaging 13.1 points, 4 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game. His tactical role is very obvious.
The Most Improved Player Award was won by George Muresan, a high center of the Washington Bullets. Muresan started 76 games and scored a career-high 14.5 points, 9.6 rebounds, 0.7 assists and 2.3 blocks. As the third pick in the second round in 1993,
As a rookie, his performance exceeded everyone's expectations.
However, Muresan has obvious weaknesses and is destined not to become a star. His mobility is too poor and he plays while walking. He can only defend the penalty area, and he is always passed by defenders when he is out of position.
The best coach was won by Phil Jackson of the Bulls, and George Karl almost vomited blood in anger. With the same record, his votes were much lower than Jackson's. The SuperSonics obviously played better, averaging 115.2 points per game.
No matter how well the Sonics play, George Karl has no chance of winning the best coach award this season. The judges don't want to see him.
If the Sonics can still have the best record in the league next season, George Karl will have a chance. Because no one has ever won the best coach award consecutively, the Bulls and SuperSonics have outstanding lineups, and their records next season will probably continue to lead the East and West.
.
The regular season MVP was won by Jordan, who received a total of 32.2% of the votes. Yang Jian ranked second with 24.6% of the votes. SuperSonics fans felt it was a pity. If the Sonics win one more game than the Bulls, he has a big chance.
Probability of being elected.
It is worth mentioning that Anfernee Hardaway of the Magic also received 12.2% of the votes, ranking fourth. Payton only received 2.8% of the votes, ranking seventh.
Is Payton not as good as Hardaway? No one who has watched the games between the two teams thinks so. But the league just praises Hardaway and doesn't take Payton to heart. It just gives the best defensive player and it's over. MVP selection
, nothing will ever happen to Payton.
This is good news for Yang Jian. In terms of personal evaluation, Payton will never be able to compare with him, even if Payton is a native American player. Now people have regarded Yang Jian as the new boss of the Sonics. Payton
Demoted to second in charge.
Jordan and Yang Jian lead the All-NBA first team, and the other three are Scottie Pippen, Karl Malone, and David Robinson.
Best Second Team: Payton, Anfernee Hardaway, Grant Hill, Kemp, Olajuwon.
Best third team: John Stockton, Reggie Miller, Juwan Howard, Charles Barkley, Shaquille O'Neal.
The unlucky "Rock" Mickey Richmond was squeezed out of the All-NBA lineup. He played the best statistics of his career this season, but he didn't even make the third team. The competition was too fierce.
The result, of course, was that Richmond contributed another attribute point to Yang Jian.
Richmond's statistics are better than Reggie Miller's, but unfortunately the Pacers' regular season record ranks third in the Eastern Conference, giving Miller more reason to be selected for the All-NBA Team.
Hardaway was squeezed out of the best team by Yang Jian, which was also an important historical event. Yang Jian gained an attribute point.
Without an All-NBA First Team resume, Hardaway's status will definitely decline. In a parallel world, he has been selected to the All-NBA First Team twice and was highly praised by the league. Although he did not have an MVP, his evaluation was ridiculously high.
In 2020, some people say that Hardaway is the only player in history who combines Magic Johnson's organizational and assisting abilities with Jordan's unsolvable offense.
In his peak season, he averaged 37 minutes per game and scored 21.7 points and 7.1 assists, which was called "unsolvable" by some. If he had averaged 25 points and 10 assists per game, the earth would probably not be able to accommodate him.
Comparing Hardaway's assist data with Magic Johnson's organizational ability is simply insulting Magic. As for his scoring ability, Kendall Gill, who was regarded as a liability by Payton last season, has something to say. Because Gill is at his peak
He averaged 21.8 points per game this season, slightly better than Hardaway.
Hardaway loses one of the honors of the best team, which may reduce the number of crazy fans in the future. Of course, it is also possible that the number of his fans will not be small, because Hardaway's pull-up jumper is action! Float! Ease!
He looks good when he plays, even if he is playing iron, some people are willing to watch him.
Although Yang Jian did not win the MVP and set a terrifying record in his rookie season, he obtained a total of five attribute points. He added all of them to the mental attribute, reaching 62.
The system's evaluation has been upgraded, and Yang Jian's mental attributes have become "genius." When he sees this evaluation, he feels a greater sense of accomplishment than becoming the best rookie or being selected for the best team.
I never thought that one day, a scumbag like me could be called a genius!
He didn't want to mention the past. He felt that it was impossible for him to get into Harvard University because of his brain. If he talked too much, he would betray others. Let alone Harvard, he couldn't even get into the second degree of China in his previous life. 985 University was a luxury for him.
.
Now he has the ability to honor his ancestors, but it is a pity that he is alone in this world and has no blood relatives to share the joy. Currently, the closest people to him are only his two girlfriends and his SuperSonics teammates...
