Chapter 322 The Youngest MVP in History

Chapter 322 The Youngest MVP in History

A few days later, the NBA announced a series of awards.

The best defensive player ultimately belongs to Ben Wallace, and he is about to start his dominance career.

To be honest, in the 2004 finals of the original time and space, the MVP was awarded to Billups, which is actually a bit unreasonable.

Because the team building of the Pistons is actually based on defense, especially Ben Wallace's defense.

It's just that MVP is rarely given to pure defensive players.

Of course, there is another main reason, that is, in the finals, the Pistons faced the Lakers.

Ben Wallace defended O'Neal, and others defended O'Neal, and the effect was similar.

It's not that Ben Wallace can't defend well, but because O'Neal is too incomprehensible.

Invisibly, this weakens Ben Wallace's defensive effectiveness. It seems that his defense does not seem to be effective.

This is the most important reason why Billups won the MVP.

Then there is the best rookie, although the rookies of this year and last year are still disappointing, but the award that should be given must be given.

Pau Gasol, a young center from Spain, won the best rookie without too much suspense.

Well, compared to the previous rookies, the strength of this rookies is actually not bad.

Including Gasol, Tony Parker, Kirilenko, Jason Richardson and Sean Battier are all very good rookies.

Although he is not a top star, he still has the ability to become the team's starter and become an All-Star.

What's interesting is that this year is the year when international players exploded in the NBA.

Needless to say, stars such as Wang Hao, Nowitzki, and Steve Nash, the same is true for rookies.

Gasol, Tony Parker, and Kirilenko are all international players.

Especially Gasol, who averaged 17.6 points, 8.9 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.1 blocks per game this season, performed very well.

Then there's Manager of the Year, Rod Thorn, the manager of the New Jersey Nets, who won the award.

To be honest, this is somewhat well deserved.

You know, in the previous few seasons, the New Jersey Nets have always been the big team in the East.

After a whole season, that is, there should be more than 20 games. In this season, the New Jersey Nets have undergone earth-shaking changes.

With a record of 52 wins and 30 losses, they rushed to No. [-] in the Eastern Conference.

You know, the New Jersey Nets' lineup has not changed much compared to last season.

It's just that Stephen Marbury was replaced by Jason Kidd.

Just relying on this one-for-one deal, he has established Rod Thorn as the best manager.

Of course, it's not just Rhodes Thorne who benefits, but also Kidd.

Since the All-Star Game, Kidd's regular season MVP rankings have never been lower than the top three.

The reason is also very simple. He changed a team with his own power and turned the New Jersey Nets from 12th in the East to No. [-] in the East.

It's not terrible to win, but it's embarrassing to be short of someone!

To say that the most embarrassing person must be the lone wolf Marbury, who has been completely labeled as not winning.

Needless to say, the New Jersey Nets, with the same lineup, Marbury led the team to a good result.

As a result, Jason Kidd had just been replaced, and he immediately led the team to the No. [-] record in the Eastern Conference.

And the Suns.

Before the arrival of Marbury, the Suns were still considered a western team, and their results were not bad.

In any case, making the playoffs is still out of the question.

Even, in the previous season, they also reached the second round of the playoffs.

As a result, after the arrival of Marbury, the Suns only achieved 36 wins this season.

Indeed, at first glance, Marbury's data is more eye-catching, but everyone has eyes.

From the Timberwolves to the Nets to the Suns, Marbury has been completely defined.

This is a personal performance star who can play wonderful statistics, but can't win.

Honestly, it's deadly.

After all, Stephon Marbury is not the kind of star who can attract fans.

This can't lead the team to victory, so what's the point of the team spending a lot of money to sign him?

To be honest, after ending his career with the Suns, Stephen Marbury was almost to the point where no one cared about him.

Of course, it's not that no one really wants him, but under the premise of a big contract, few teams choose him.

It has to be New York, where people are stupid and rich.

Not only did they make a one-on-one trade, but in exchange for Marbury, who couldn't win, he also gave a big contract of nearly 5 million in five years.

To be honest, the exaggeration is a bit scary, and the same is true for money.

Originally, during the 03-04 season, the Knicks entered the playoffs as seventh in the Eastern Conference.

Subsequently, Marbury joined the Knicks and led the Knicks to start a wave for 6 years, missing the playoffs.

It wasn't until the 10-11 season that the Knicks made a strong introduction of Melo Anthony and Stoudemire, and then they entered the playoffs again.

Well, this is a bit too much, after all, Marbury has only played in the Knicks for 4 years.

Throughout his career, Marbury, as the absolute core of the team, led the team to play in the playoffs only once.

During the 02-03 season, Sun Island won one more game than Mosaic and barely made it to the playoffs.

It was the difference in this game that allowed Stoudemire to snatch the Rookie of the Year award from Yao Ming.

It can be said that in the NBA period, Marbury made a lot of money, and his career was a failure.

To really make him successful, he has to enter the CBA.

I have to say that the Knicks really don't do anything about personnel. If he didn't give Marbury a big contract, it is estimated that the lone wolf would have become the horse's political commissar.

Okay, that's a bit off topic.

May 5, Seattle Key Arena.

Today, countless fans gather around the arena, and there are also many reporters, who have long been ready for battle.

That's right, today is the time for the second round of the playoffs.

As early as yesterday, the second round of the Western Conference's first playoff game had already started.

At the home court of the Spurs, it was the Lakers who took the lead and won the first game.

The Spurs play at a slow pace, which is what the Lakers love, and they take their time.

Neither team ended up scoring more than 90 points.

It's still the same problem. Facing O'Neal, the Spurs don't have a good solution.

Neither David Robinson nor Tim Duncan are willing to face O'Neal.

In fact, in this game, the Spurs' defense was not bad. O'Neal's miss rate in the game was just 40%.

For O'Neal, this is already a very low shooting rate. After all, his shots are mainly concentrated in the three-second zone.

It's a pity that the Spurs didn't seize the opportunity to gain an advantage.

Both teams have a slow pace and then rely on defense, which gives the Lakers a chance to delay the game.

In fact, Duncan played mediocre, shooting only 30% from the field.

As a result, in the last 5 minutes, O'Neill showed his might and led the team to a 16:9 spurt.

He scored the points of the Spurs alone.

Grind the rhythm with the Lakers, grind the defense, and then win or lose in the last bit of time.

This is not a wise approach.

Waking up early in the morning, Wang Hao was not in a hurry to go to the arena, but first found the newspaper to take a look.

Because just today, the NBA finally announced the regular season MVP of this season.

"Wang, the best player in the regular season!"

Looking at the huge handwriting on the newspaper, and the shining cover poster.

Although he had received the news a long time ago, he still couldn't help being a little excited, the best player!

This is definitely one of the top honors of MVP.

Winning this award means that Wang Hao is already one of the best players in the NBA.

Also one of the best players on the planet.

At least, he didn't waste his hard work, he didn't waste a hard job, and he didn't waste cheating!

"This is just the beginning!"

Put away the newspaper in your hand, pack up your mood, and finish your breakfast.

He booked the breakfast from a big local hotel in Seattle, and it was delivered on time every day.

After he finishes his morning warm-up, he can enjoy breakfast and then report to the arena.

As for knowing the announcement of the awards in advance?

NBA officials had already told him the news one night in advance, and then made public reports to the media.

In fact, last night, he received a lot of congratulatory calls.

That's right, the so-called announcement of the awards certainly didn't happen all of a sudden on the same day.

In fact, as long as there is a relationship, they can be informed in advance.

Even David Stern contacted Wang Hao last night, first of all to congratulate him.

In addition, David Stern also revealed a little news there, and his original words are as follows.

"Basketball shouldn't involve too many off-court factors, awards should be won with real strength.

Wang, your performance is worthy of this MVP, I will support you. "

In fact, the old guy just wanted to reveal something to Wang Hao.

The selection of the MVP was not all smooth sailing. His ability to win the MVP was still related to the support of David Stern.

This is also understandable.

After all, even the CBA won a domestic MVP and a foreign aid MVP after vigorously introducing foreign aid.

To put it bluntly, it is only natural to support one's own family.

It's just that the NBA doesn't care about nationality so much. After all, NBA stars may not be willing to join the national team.

The NBA may care a little bit about skin color, but what they care more about is interests.

Again, the NBA is a business.

Forcing Wang Hao to lose the MVP is not only giving up the credibility of the NBA, but also giving up the Asian market.

The NBA is so stupid, even if some extreme media people do this, NBA officials will reverse the situation.

"Wang, congratulations on winning the MVP. How do you feel?"

"As a foreign MVP, Wang, do you feel that you surpass all American players?"

"Many people questioned that Shaq and Tim are the best players. What's your response?"

……

Sure enough, when I first came to the key arena, the surrounding area was already blocked three layers in and three layers out.

Wang Hao had no choice but to drive the car in. He could only walk with the help of security guards and staff.

Facing the reporter's guns and short shots, he also knew that if he didn't say something, the reporter probably wouldn't let him go.

"Guys, I'm going to be late for a training session, and Paul won't be happy.

I don't want to be punished, so please step aside and I can answer a few questions. "

Hearing this, a group of reporters made way for Wang Hao to enter the arena.

Of course, he did not run away without faith, but faced many reporters and gave them a chance to ask questions.

"As the youngest regular season MVP, how do you feel?"

"It's a bit of a surprise, I really don't know about it, but it's also a great honor, at least one season's hard work has paid off."

The regular season MVP who is less than 22 years old is really amazing.

In the original time and space, the age of winning this award has been greatly reduced, and James and Rose have to appear.

It's a pity that now that Wang Hao is one step ahead, the two of them have no chance.

Perhaps it was because there were only three questions, and all the reporters also knew that the opportunity must not be missed, and they needed to ask the key points.

"Many people think that Tim Duncan is the one who is more worthy of the MVP. What do you think?"

"Everyone has their own MVP in their hearts. It's normal. It's like now, they chose Tim and the judges chose me."

Wang Hao's words are actually a bit blunt, you Wang Hao is not worthy of MVP, how old are you?

However, Wang Hao also has the right to be rude.

After all, his performance this season is really wonderful, scoring champion, double best team.

More importantly, the Sonics team led by him is even more outstanding in terms of record, with no opponents at all.

In this case, his regular season MVP can still have suspense, which is the biggest problem.

I didn't see those people looking for trouble, and I only dared to talk about Duncan. Neither O'Neill nor Kidd could stand in front of Wang Hao.

Their records, as well as their personal data, are untenable!

Even if it is Duncan, there is only one single-core leader who can talk about it.

However, such a thing as a single-core team has a bonus in the selection of MVP, but it is not a decisive factor.

The team record and personal data are the most critical.

This is why, in the final vote, Wang Hao's vote rate exceeded 33%.

A third of the judges chose him, followed by Duncan's 22 percent.

The next third and fourth are naturally Kidd of the Nets and O'Neal of the Lakers.

The last question, the reporter turned his attention to today's game.

"Wang, Chris Webber of the Kings also believes that Tim Duncan is the candidate for MVP, and they will prove in this round of the series that you are not worthy of MVP."

Hearing this, it is definitely impossible to say that he is not angry, but he is more speechless.

He also knows that the two teams that are about to have a crucial battle will speak harsh words before the game.

Whether it is to engage the opponent's mentality or provoke the opponent, it is very suitable and effective.

Take Wang Hao as an example, if he gets angry, he will be eager to prove himself during the game and will not play according to tactics.

In other words, because of the change of mentality, it affected his state in the game, which is very good.

"I don't want to discuss with Chris about the MVP of the regular season, because it has nothing to do with him, he is not in the ranks of MVP.

As for today's game, don't worry, everyone will see the result soon. "
