Chapter 1299 That's it
The results of the major awards in the regular season have been announced, and only the MVP has not yet had the final answer.
There are three and a half MVP contenders this year in Benjamin Wilson, Michael Jordan, Ralph Sampson and Karl Malone.
In fact, for most of the regular season, Wilson's MVP call almost showed a momentum of overwhelming.
It wasn't until after the All-Star weekend that Jordan created suspense with his unparalleled personal performance.
In 82 regular season games, Jordan averaged 30.4 points, 7.7 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game, leading the team to the second record in the league.
Compared with Jordan's overall performance so far in his career, this data can only be regarded as below average. However, compared with Wilson's average of 26.6 points, 7.4 rebounds and 8.1 assists per game, it still has a slight advantage.
Moreover, last season Wilson played an extremely dominant scoring season, leading the Lakers to 2 wins without a No. 64 superstar around him, and he deserves to be elected as the MVP.
This season, the Lakers have made all-round reinforcements, introducing giants such as Barkley, Dumars, and Baros. As a result, the number of wins has "only" increased by 2 games.
Some harsh critics said: "The Conqueror did not make his teammates better."
Louie won't hold back against this kind of nitpicking mental retardation: "A guy who scored 99 last year scored 98 this year, isn't he that good? I don't want to listen to the clichéd nonsense, Benj is the MVP of this season, there is no doubt about it."
As for the one and a half MVP contenders in Boston, they are basically runners who share the votes.
There is a view that the reason why Sampson and Malone entered the MVP discussion is that the defending champion himself lost his popularity.
Moreover, with the Knicks' lineup that paid $57 million in luxury taxes, they only won [-] wins this year. This is by no means a basketball problem.
In other words, with such good teammates, they only won 57 wins, indirectly proving that no one in the Knicks is worthy of the MVP this year.
Even if Louie goes off in person, those who decide not to vote for Wilson will still not vote for him.
Unless, Wilson proves that he is the MVP with facts.
Game 2 between the Lakers and the Spurs is such a game.
Tonight, the Lakers' insider Optimus Prime Kevin Garnett was fouled three times early and sat on the bench for a long time.
Rodman was angry with the referee like crazy, and Lightspeed received two technical fouls and was sent off.
The Lakers were forced to play a game with no advantage inside.
When Garnett and Rodman couldn't play, Barkley's offense determined how thick the Lakers' inside line was.
However, in the era of "Wilson angered the Blazers with 66 points in a single game", Louis opened the magic box of name-calling, and almost all head coaches equipped their trump cards with corresponding tactics.
With no one to help on the defensive end, as long as Barkley is not in good shape, he will lose more points than score.
Moreover, the Lakers' inside talent has plummeted, giving the Spurs enough confidence to win in the frontcourt.
The Spurs grabbed 15 offensive rebounds, over 35 percent offensive rebound rate, and scored over half of the paint.
Under normal circumstances, waiting for the Lakers will be a disastrous defeat.
They will lose a lot of points.
But Wilson didn't let that happen.
Louis put on the Cavaliers early to activate the "beautiful basketball" system. Because Garnett fouled too much, Louis let the tragic division top the center, and Ellis temporarily returned to the lineup.
Nash, Liu Yuqing, Wilson, Ellis, Tragedy, among the five, the player with the lowest three-point shooting percentage is Tragedy.And the player with the lowest three-point shooting rate among the so-called five also has a three-point shooting rate of 38%.
For the remaining four, their three-point shooting percentages are all above 40.
This is the Royal Salute that many stars will never meet in their lifetime.
Wilson could feel his moment coming.
In the first half, the Lakers trailed by 15 points. At the start of the second half, Wilson relied on the four outside shooters and once again became the eye of the storm on the field. With himself as the absolute core, he used the four terrifying space points on the outside to play an offensive performance that surpassed the times.
When Wilson calls the pick-and-roll, the Spurs have only two options: let go of shooters who are averaging 40 percent or better from [-]-point range, or give Wilson a mismatch.
Popovich was not crazy enough to use his own head to test whether the opponent's three-point arrow was sharp. He chose to actively displace Wilson.
Wilson used a dominant performance of 44 points and 8 assists in the half to prove to the Spurs that the conqueror who scored 66 points in the finals tiebreaker still retains the strength of the year.
This is a complete star personal ability.
Louis didn't even look at Garnett at the back. Even though the game had reached the fourth quarter and there was enough time, he still pressed the opponent firmly on the bench.
There is no other reason, Louis said: "This is a punishment for your irresponsibility on the court. If you still can't learn from this game, then I may have a more pessimistic judgment on your future. One thing, I am sure, is that a qualified cornerstone insider will not sit on the court and watch the game when the team needs him."
Garnett lowered his head in shame, but Kareem Abdul-Jabbar replied, "Being replaced due to too many fouls. Even Wilt Chamberlain can't do this kind of thing!"
Garnett thought, is the Big Dipper bad?
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's words are even more shocking: "Because he won't foul again after five fouls, even if he doesn't defend, he won't allow himself to foul."
Garnett said firmly: "I'd rather be full of fouls than not defend!"
Louis found out that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is really a crooked master. He educated Garnett, what is he talking about Chamberlain?Nima, can you stop venting your personal emotions at this time?
"Okay, if you can reach Wilt's level in the future, our No. [-] pick will not be in vain." Louis stared at Garnett, "At tomorrow's video analysis meeting, you have to reflect on your mistakes to the whole team. You must be profound and detailed, and you must ensure that you will never make them again."
Never do it again?Bird rolled his eyes, how is that possible?
"And you!" Louie turned back to Bird and continued to breathe fire. "How do you usually educate him? Look at what he did on the court. I can't even imagine any team's core insider who can be as emotional as him. Don't tell me you only taught him skills, but you didn't let him understand what is the responsibility of a core player."
Louis, who was on the line, pushed the current dog into a hurry: "How can you blame me? If you want to blame it, you have to blame Dick Bavita, that idiot. Isn't he the best sixth man of the Lakers? Why is he blowing the whistle tonight?"
It's okay if Bird doesn't say anything, but he can't bear it even more when he talks about Louis.
"How dare you fucking make excuses for me? Why does Baveta target him but not others? Isn't it because he has a big temper and calls him a foul to greet other people's families, which is what you usually teach him?"
Since Bird accepted the job of Garnett's development coach, Louis has held a sword that can find fault with him at any time.
As long as Garnett can't play well, it's useless for Bird to quibble.
Because Garnett's mistakes can be equated to his mistakes, because he didn't teach well.
It was rare to see players other than himself being hummed by Louis, and Kobe felt inexplicably funny.
When Louie left the locker room, Kobe greeted Garnett: "Brother, are you okay?"
"It's okay. Dude is used to it."
Garnett's thick-skinned and unafraid of being beaten annoyed Bird, "Are you used to it? Okay, I'll see what kind of habit you are on the training ground tomorrow. You better cheer me up."
Bird then took over from Louie with a 15-minute "you're my cutie" speech.
Kobe looked at Garnett like that, obviously he was used to being scolded.
"Looking at it this way, your little life is going well, no one has ever scolded you like that, right?" Da Ben teased.
Kobe said arrogantly: "That's because I completed the task assigned by the coach excellently."
Except for Wilson, no one can really feel how positive the public opinion is to lead the team to win the game with Super C performance in the semifinals.
The next day, Wilson's 59 points, 7 rebounds and 13 assists against the Spurs dominated the sports pages of every newspaper.
How much impact does this have on Wilson's Lianzhuang MVP?
You have to ask Louis, he definitely doesn’t know, because he was not in the mood to be happy for Wilson that night. After scolding Garnett and Bird, he went back and "arrested" Rodman outside the arena and scolded him severely for "what the hell did you promise me before you came here?"
three days later
Benjamin Wilson was elected the MVP of the 1996-97 season with a clear advantage.
This is Wilson's third career MVP trophy.
Before Game [-] of the semifinals away at the Spurs, Wilson held a brief press conference.
He thanked everyone as usual, and then answered a reporter's question about how the third MVP affected him.
"There will be a place for it in my showroom," Wilson said. "That's all."
