Chapter 176 The best rookie of 2001 is(2/2)
But no one thinks there is anything wrong with the Lakers O'Neal.
The Lakers' opponent in the second round is the Kings.
Priston quickly beat the whirlwind and eliminated the Utah double 3-1, Adelman set off a new craze in the league.
The second round of the match will not start two days later.
At this moment, the alliance announced the ownership of the second batch of awards.
Best defensive player and best rookie.
The competition for the best defensive player this year is extremely fierce.
Ben Wallace of the Pistons scored his highest career season, averaging 6.4 points, 13.2 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 2.3 blocks per game, which is simply a replica of Rodman.
Ratliff, the former 76ers blocking champion, averaged 12.4 points, 8.3 rebounds and 3.7 blocks per game.
Garnett averaged 22 points, 11.4 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 1.8 blocks per game.
David Robinson and Tim Duncan of the Spurs, the former averaged 14.4 points, 8.6 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per game, while the latter averaged 22.2 points, 12.2 rebounds and 1 steal and 2.3 blocks.
And, Mutombo.
Uncle Mu was sent to the 76ers on the trading deadline, helping the 76ers successfully top the East. He also handed in 10 points, 13.5 rebounds and 2.7 blocks in the season.
Ultimately, the votes were concentrated on Mutombo, Garnett and Duncan.
Uncle Mu eventually beat the others and was elected the best defensive player with nearly 40% of the votes.
There are not many surprises in this selection result, after all, the 76ers' performance this season is perfect.
However, Detroit fans have raised great doubts about the votes Wallace received, which only received 5% of the votes.
It can only be said that the Pistons' record this season is not satisfactory, and Wallace's reputation is not great enough.
The results of the best defensive player are controversial, but the best rookie is no surprise.
Sun Hao got 96% of the votes!
The remaining 4%, Mike Miller accounted for 3%, and Martin accounted for 1%...
As for Mark Jackson, who had previously partnered with Sun Hao in the rookie competition and performed well, he missed the selection because he did not participate enough games.
This vote share is the highest since Duncan, and is higher than Carter at the time.
On the one hand, Sun Hao can fight, and his competitors are really not enough!
The result of this selection immediately attracted cheers from domestic fans on the forum.
"Who else!!"
"I just called Bulls General Manager Klaus, and his phone has been turned off."
"Klaus has been smart all his life, and even Jordan has been scheming, but he has suffered a big fall in our Sun Hao."
"Old Nelson's best general manager is a real deal!"
"Actually, we should thank Klaus. If it weren't for him, Sun Hao wouldn't have met Old Nelson, and wouldn't have had so many opportunities to perform!"
"Well, we love Barkley! We love Klaus too! (??)"
"I'm looking forward to Sun Hao's next appearance ceremony now. The 2001 NBA All-Star, the 2001 Rookie, and the first year of rookie, there are really not many rookies who use these two prefixes!"
"It's so cool that I'm so happy that I'm the strongest No. 24 show!"
...
Like the rookie of the month that Sun Hao has received before, the season rewards can also be collected in the league or awarded on the spot.
Like Mutombo, because the opponents of the 76ers in the next round have not been confirmed, he went to the New York headquarters to collect them himself.
Uncle Mu, who is 35 years old, is the fourth best defensive player in his career. This makes him happy when he thinks about it.
Sun Hao didn't go to New York, but he was only one day late to receive the award.
In the last game of the regular season, in order to avoid the Trail Blazers in the first round, the Mavericks and the Spurs staged a game of mutual acting skills.
In the end, the Spurs' acting skills were even better and they successfully gained a favorable position for themselves in the first round.
But Popovich did all the calculations, but he didn't count that the Mavericks actually killed the Trail Blazers.
This time it was the second round, because of that game, the Mavericks had a home advantage!
Sure enough, you can’t just look at anything for a moment, it has to look back!
"Simavich."
The new nickname given to Popovich by domestic fans on the forum was quickly gained popularity.
After all the mechanisms are done, one move will be lost, Sima Zhongda and Popovich.
This is very rhyme.
And quite vivid.
The next night, the Mavericks were at home and faced the second round of the Spurs.
Players on both sides warm up on the court.
On the one hand, the second best team in the West that swept the Suns easily advanced, and on the other hand, the second second best team in the West that defeated last year.
Such a match is full of expectations.
However, before the competition began, the award ceremony for the best rookie was held on site.
League President David Stern came to the scene and handed Sun Hao the trophy for the best rookie.
"congratulations."
This is the second time Stern has face to face with Sun Hao.
The last time was during the draft.
Compared to the last time, Stern looked at Sun Hao with a more vivid look.
The last time he just saw the possibility from Sun Hao, but this time, that possibility has become a reality.
As Sun Hao's performance in the NBA is getting better and better, the door to the Chinese market is already opening quickly towards the NBA.
This is also the reason why he privately encourages all teams to actively recruit players in China.
Sun Hao has achieved success, but it is possible that the next Chinese player will succeed again.
When there are more Chinese teams in NBA and the market is completely opened, with the number of Chinese fans, it will undoubtedly become the number one overseas market in NBA.
Sun Hao took the trophy from Stern and said thank you.
Unlike the Rookie of the Month Trophy I won before, the Rookie of the Season is a rectangular glass product with a silhouette of the logo man Jerry West.
The winner's name reads on the wooden base.
"The best rookie from 2000 to 2001, Sun Hao, Dallas Mavericks."
Sun Hao put the trophy on the table beside him and began his speech on the winning speech after the cheers of the fans fell.
From parents to team management, from coaching staff to teammates, Sun Hao thanked everyone who could thank them.
This speech was very personal, but at the end of the speech, he said something that many people didn't understand.
"Michael, I did it, let's see you next."
This is a bit unfinished and Sun Hao said it to the camera.
It felt like I was saying to someone who was not present.
And Michael?
The first reaction this gave people is that the basketball god, Black Jesus!
The bet between Sun Hao and Jordan was not made public, and all the fans couldn't figure out what this was saying.
But thousands of miles away, in the suburbs of Chicago, Jordan, who was resting on the manor, sneezes violently.
Chapter completed!
