Chapter five hundred and eighty playoff opponents, James Rookie of the Year
The Bulls' regular seasons in the past three seasons ended with 60 wins. In the entire NBA history, there are only a handful of people who have achieved this winning rate. Moreover, before Li Lei came, the Bulls were a team that could not even win 30 wins.
"Boss, the regular season is over. Will the regular season MVP be awarded to Bruce? If it continues to be awarded to him, then he will have three consecutive games, which is something that Michael Jordan has never had before."
On the day after the regular season, Adam and Silver came to Stern's office.
Stern took a sip of the cigar and felt a little speechless. This season, the Lakers, Celtics, Timberwolves, and Pistons who traded in the middle, all of them looked worse than the Bulls. The first three were even better than the Bulls, but why is the first in the league still the Bulls?
When O'Brien left his position, he left him with a three-game MVP. Before Larry Bird, only Russell and Chamberlain had three-game MVP. Because this thing is better than a three-game MVP. Not only do you have to maintain your own data, the team's regular season record should not be too bad.
Now Li Lei has a team winning rate of 65 for three consecutive years, and he is behind the scenes in the MVP rankings this year. If he is not given to him and given to others, the league will have no credibility.
The Bulls' record this season is almost ten games ahead of those teams. The difference in winning games is a bit big. Before the season starts, the entire Boston was so awesome, but after the season ends, it is only a record of 59 wins. Although this record is the best time they have been in several seasons, it is a bit far worse than the Bulls.
If Li Lei was an American, Stern would not hesitate at all. He would definitely make the decision. Unfortunately, the other party was a Chinese, but would it be appropriate to hack an MVP because of the other party's nationality? Stern was a little hesitant. He was not Adam Xiao Hua. Although both of them belonged to the same ethnic group, Stern was used to taking three steps at one step, while Xiao Hua was the opposite. He only cared about the present and didn't care about what would happen in the future.
'I think it's better to follow the normal results. NBA is a business alliance, but business does not mean losing fairness. Anyone with a discerning eye can see. If we sing the opposite tune, what are the consequences? Have you ever thought about it?"
Xiao Hua stopped talking. He knew that Li Lei must have not run away from the mvp, f.u.c.k, Stern really couldn't get in.
The Bulls have won the league's first record for three consecutive years, while Li Lei was selected for the Double First Team, the Best Team, and the Best Defensive Team.
Richard Hamilton and Rashid were selected for the All-A-3 team and the Defensive Second Team. Apart from both of them, the Bulls never had the fourth person to be selected for the All-A-A-Series.
The biggest difference between the teams entering the playoffs in the East and the historical space is the Nets. This team was replaced by Philadelphia. After Kidd left, they quickly slipped into the roster of the fish. Although Kenyon and Martin learned something around Kidd in the previous few seasons, it was not enough. This is undoubtedly the favorite existence of Knicks fans. In the previous seasons, the Knicks were bullied in various ways. Although the Nets were pressed on the floor by the Bulls in the playoffs, they still have a great sense of superiority compared to the Knicks who could not even enter the playoffs.
This season's sense of superiority is completely gone. Kidd did not renew his contract. He chose Boston and joined forces with Duncan Pierce. This result directly led to the Nets' continuous depreciation and shrinking. Lewis Katz no longer wants to play, but the problem is that no one at the Nets is willing to take over unless he vomits blood and sells it.
The only thanks is that the Nets' chances of winning the No. 1 pick this season are still very good, and this year's No. 1 pick Dwight Howard and Aimei Kaokafor are both very good choices, it depends on whether the Nets have the fate.
Li Lei knew very well that the playoffs were the beginning of the battle, and the regular season was just a warm-up. No matter how awesome the regular season was, the playoffs were awkward. This kind of player could only be called a brush. Although in the era when Li Lei traveled through time, such players were called super giants because super* was not worth money. He could just win 20 casually, and he would be super giants without looking at the record.
Li Lei breathed a sigh of relief when playing against Philadelphia in the playoffs, because if he played against New York in the first round, he would definitely not be as good as Philadelphia. The three top picks in Philadelphia are very scary, Iverson, Big Dogs and Coleman, but these three averaged only 40 points per game, Iverson alone had 26 points, and the other two averaged less than ten goals per game. It can be said that Philadelphia lost a lot of money last year. These two people came to Philadelphia to make a living, but Iverson was just having sex.
Before the playoffs begin, the NBA league will first award this year's Best Rookie Award, because in the last week of the regular season, James successfully counterattacked Anthony because he led the Cavaliers to his first three-game winning streak of the season. Li Lei had a premonition that Guago's Best Rookie is likely to be hacked like in the historical space.
Anthony is very optimistic. He still naively believes that his data is better than James, and the Bulls are still the best in the league. There is no reason why the NBA headquarters does not award the best rookie to him.
On the day when the Best Rookie Award was awarded, Anthony and Leon Ross went to the scene, and James and Milicic were also there. The Serbians must have run away because he has always been the third in this rookie list, which is really stable, but many New York fans still expect a miracle to happen.
Stern came on stage and picked up a piece of paper and read it symbolically, "The winner of the NBA Best Rookie Award in the 2003-04 season is..."
Si's godfather made a super long tone, and Anthony and James both had their hearts pounding, and the frequency of beating was much greater than before.
"LeBron James from the Cleveland Cavaliers."
James's thirty-year-old man smiled on his face. He stood up from the audience and hugged Leon Rose. Anthony was next to Leon Rose, because the other party was the joint agent of James and Anthony.
Anthony was in a bad mood, and James was talking a lot on the stage.
After the Best Rookie Award was awarded, it was the Best Rookie Team. Anthony was shortlisted and Milicic was also shortlisted. The other three were James, Wade and Bosh. They happened to be the top five in the draft, but the Best Rookie Award was awarded to James still caused quite a lot of controversy on the Internet.
"The dark curtain, the naked shady curtain, Cameron's various statistics are better than James, why should he give this award to James?"
"Haha, don't you see who the teammates around Cameron are and who are around LeBron. It's fairest to give them to James."
