Chapter 828 [Secondary three companies, first in history]
After the game, all the media were reporting on the internal strife in the Lakers OK group, predicting that they would break up in the summer.
O'Neal will become a big fish in the free market. Although he has not led the Lakers to win a championship, he is very strong and is recognized as the number one center in active service.
Lakers manager Kupchak knew that O'Neal would definitely not be able to stay with the Lakers unless the Lakers traded Kobe. But comparing their ages, the Lakers must keep the younger one.
If the Lakers don't want to let O'Neal go for nothing, they must convince him to sign and then trade. This is even more difficult. O'Neal was previously unwilling to cut his salary and renew his contract early. When signing, he had to sign for the biggest deal. He loves money.
Therefore, if O'Neal signs first and then trades this year, he will definitely ask for the maximum salary and the longest tenure. If he signs like this, can O'Neal, who has no championship and only one MVP, be able to exchange for a strong man? The team that is traded may not be satisfied with O'Neal.
If O'Neal wants to join a team that he likes, the best option is to sign directly with that team, just like when he left the Magic and signed with the Lakers, he just signed a one-year contract less and received less money.
Kupchak still has a headache about choosing the next head coach of the team. Jackson Jackson himself no longer wants to work, and his triangle offense has proven to be unworkable.
At this time, Jackson Jackson's reputation was far less than that of the parallel world, with six championship rings and two dynasties missing. People generally believed that the triangle offense was a star-isolated tactic, and Jackson was a bastard who was not good at adapting to the situation.
If the team wins, the Zen master's slowness in calling a timeout can be said to be calm. The team is beaten, so if the coach doesn't call a timeout, what is he but a bastard?
And Kobe, can the Lakers succeed in building a team around such a person? Everyone in the Lakers management thinks it's impossible, not only because Kobe's style of play is too unique, but also because his career completely overlaps with Yang Jian's.
After two rounds of games, NBA regular season awards were announced one after another.
The best rookie is Suns power forward Amare Stoudemire. This year is called a small year in the draft, and Stoudemire's statistics are only average. He averaged 13.5 points, 8.8 rebounds and 1 assist per game, and shot 47.2% from the field.
.
Yao Ming entered the NBA a year early. No one will say that the two are lifelong enemies. This statement is obviously inappropriate. The two have never met in the playoffs and have not faced each other many times in the regular season.
Of the two SuperSonics rookies, Boozer was selected to the All-Rookie Second Team, while Ginobili did not receive a single vote.
The Most Improved Player is Warriors point guard Gilbert Arenas, which is bad news for the team.
The Warriors have no salary space. Arenas is a second-round pick who only signed a two-year contract without bird rights. If a team offers a high salary to poach him in the summer, he will definitely leave, and the Warriors will not be able to match the contract.
This is purely due to the Warriors' manager's unqualified signing operation. Second-round rookies can also sign for three years. Such rookies will have bird rights after three years, and the team can renew the contract beyond the cap.
Moreover, the Warriors manager knew that Arenas might leave the team, but he didn't rush to pack up the role players and trade him out in the mid-term in exchange for something. The Warriors delayed until the end of the season, had no trades, and did not make the playoffs. What was the plan?
?
The Sixth Man of the Year award was won by SuperSonics guard Chauncey Billups. This was his first award since entering the league, averaging 16.5 points and 6.1 assists per game.
Ranked second is Kings guard Bobby Jackson, who averages 15.2 points and 3.1 assists per game. Both important statistics are not as good as Billups. He looks more like a shooting guard, good at attacking with the ball, and rarely gives out assists.
The Best Coach Award was won by George Karl of the SuperSonics for the second time in his career.
Although George Karl's poor performance in the World Championships was ridiculed by fans, in the NBA, the judges can no longer ignore him. The media began to brag about George Karl, saying that he arranged appropriate tactics in the SuperSonics and helped Yang Jian get to where he is today.
In this step, the Sonics established a dynasty twice, and George Karl's role is obvious.
Kemp's success in losing weight when he returned to the SuperSonics was directly related to George Karl's supervision. The reason is simple. Kemp never exceeded the standard when he was with the Sonics.
Regardless of whether the fans believe it or not, the media must promote it like this, otherwise all the credit will go to Yang Jian.
Things go to extremes, and now the media should try to avoid praising Yang Jian and praising his teammates. This is very similar to the "five-star warriors" who will be highly praised by the league in the future. People who average less than 10 points per game can become giants even if they occasionally chase an egg.
The five-star Warriors are just a hype, but the depth of the lineup is actually very average. In addition to Yang Jian, this year's SuperSonics team also has two All-Stars, three future All-Stars, and one declining star. If these people are all at their peak
, the SuperSonics can win the season.
Ben Wallace won the title of Defensive Player of the Year for the second time, averaging 6.9 points, 15.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.4 steals and 3.2 blocks per game. SuperSonics fans did not regret that the team let Ben go. His offense was too poor and he was not suitable for the SuperSonics.
Sonic Team's system.
All-Defensive First Team: Kobe, Doug Christie, Garnett, Duncan, Ben Wallace.
Defensive second team: Jason Kidd, Yang Jian, Artest, Elton Brand, Shaquille O'Neal.
Eric Snow was not selected for the All-Defensive Team due to the influence of Yang Jian. No one thinks that Snow's defense is better than Yang Jian, that is impossible.
It is more normal that Bruce Bowen was not selected. His playing time was a bit short. There must be someone more qualified than him.
Artest became the core of the Raptors when two All-Stars were injured. He showed excellent wing defensive capabilities, averaging 17.4 points, 6.2 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game.
Brand was selected because the Bulls had the second best record in the Eastern Conference. In fact, Yao Ming played a greater role in defending the penalty area.
The most controversial thing is Christie. Many fans think he is not qualified to be selected for the first team. Watching the Kings in the first round of the playoffs, you can see how wet he is. Even Bonchy Wells can't guard him.
The most important award, mvp, was won by Yang Jian for a second time. The data of other stars were a bit behind him. In addition, the Sonics had the best record, so the league could only allow Yang Jian to win three consecutive games for the second time.
At this point, Yang Jian's number of regular season MVPs has caught up with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and is tied for the first place in history. Yang Jian also has 6 FMVPs, which is far better than others. In terms of personal honors, he is already the first person in history.
In addition, he was selected to the All-NBA First Team in all eight seasons of his career and made seven All-Star starts, one less time because the 1999 All-Star Game was cancelled.
All-NBA First Team: Yang Jian, Kobe Bryant, Garnett, Nowitzki, O'Neal.
Best Second Team: Kidd, McGrady, Chris Webber, Brand, Duncan.
Best third team: Iverson, Steve Nash, Paul Pierce, Rashard Lewis, Ben Wallace.
As teams in the league generally speed up their offensive and defensive transitions, more and more players are producing impressive statistics. Many players with gorgeous statistics have not been selected for the All-NBA Team, even with good records.
Yao Ming, Jermaine O'Neal, Stephon Marbury, Jamal Mashburn and others were all excluded. Brad Miller's data was average and he was not selected despite having the best record.
Yao Ming averaged 18.3 points, 9.4 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 2 blocks per game this season. He was not even selected for the third team. This is obviously the result of the league's suppression of foreign players.
The league couldn't suppress Yang Jian, so it could only use its strength on Yao Ming.
In any case, Yao Ming has done better than in the parallel world. In the parallel world, he is just a rookie this season, and he has not been able to compete for "Best Rookie" with Stoudemire who has similar statistics.
Now that Yao Ming has a record, he should be selected for the All-NBA Team next season. He is better than Ben Wallace.
McGrady, Duncan, and Lewis provided four attribute points. Duncan himself provided two of them. One was because his fate was changed and he lost the regular season MVP, and the other was because he was squeezed out of the best team.
This is all directly related to Yang Jian's proposal to sign players and dismantling the Spurs lineup. It will be difficult for Duncan to win the MVP in this life.
McGrady's selection to the second team was controversial because he did not make the playoffs and should have been selected to the first team.
Lewis was selected to the third team because he hugged Yang Jian's thigh. He was defeated by O'Neal, which was very lucky.
