When Yang Jian received the Rookie of the Year trophy, he held a press conference and accepted interviews from major media.

This is not a trivial matter. In NBA history, only three players were unanimously elected as the Rookie of the Year. The other two were David Robinson of the Spurs (1990) and Ralph Sampson of the Rockets (1984).

).

Even Shaquille O'Neal was not elected unanimously, and Alonzo Mourning, who also won in 2010, lost a few votes.

The reporters first asked Yang Jian to express his feelings.

Yang Jian smiled and said: "I am very happy to be able to compete with two famous players. Players only have one chance to win the Best Rookie Award. I don't want to miss it. If I miss other awards, there will be many opportunities to win in the future."

The reporter asked: "Are you talking about MVP?"

Yang Jian nodded. "Yes, it's a pity that I didn't win the mvp this season. I hope I can win the award next season. I also hope to win the Most Improved Player Award, but this should be the most difficult award for me to win.

One of them."

Some reporters laughed, what the hell is the Most Improved Player Award? Your current statistics are already at the top of the league, how can you improve significantly? Do you want to average 40 points per game?

Yang Jian doesn't dare to think about averaging 40 points per game for the time being, but he has absolute confidence to average 35 points per game in the future. Jordan and Kobe mainly played two-pointers, and both averaged 35 points per game. Harden is the only one in history

He has also done it with "One Point of Rain", there is no reason why he can't do it.

The reporter asked: "Are you confident that you will win the regular season MVP next season?"

"Yes, I am confident. Because I know it will be difficult for Michael to win this award again. This is my advantage." Yang Jian replied grandly.

The reporters in the venue were all stunned. Yang Jian is definitely the most confident rookie in the history of the NBA. He is so crazy that he doesn't pay attention to other stars at all.

He is still one and a half months away from turning 20. If he wins the MVP next season, it will undoubtedly be a historical record.

Yang Jian's confidence comes from memories of his past life. In a parallel world, Jordan won the scoring title in the 1996-97 season, and the Bulls' 69 wins were the best record in the league. However, the regular season MVP was awarded to Karl Malone of the Jazz, which was questioned by many.

It's shady.

This is not a shady secret, it is just special treatment during special times.

Because "Shark" O'Neal went to the West to join the Lakers, the challenge faced by the Bulls in the East seems to be smaller. There are not many superstars left in the East, and two of them are in the Bulls.

There are many wealthy teams in the West, including the Rockets, which formed the Big Three, the SuperSonics, which retained its three cores, and the Lakers, who signed O'Neal.

It is undoubtedly more difficult for Western Conference teams to have a good record than it is for the Bulls. The 34-year-old Malone achieved the best record of 64 wins in the Western Conference against many powerful players, and his personal data is also very good. This is the reason why he won the award.

Of course, if we follow the NBA's future selection criteria, the MVP will definitely be Jordan's and no one can take it away.

In the future, there will be a team of stars who are at their peak and can win the regular season MVP award despite the situation where the west is strong and the east is weak. He has an mvp that he won in the second year of the team, and he won the mvp with the fourth best record in the league.

Don't be dissatisfied, the president's father is just so domineering. He just needs to take more chances and turn his giant teammates into pseudo-giants.

According to the league's selection criteria for next season, Yang Jian will definitely be elected as long as he plays good data and leads the SuperSonics to beat the Jazz. He put down his words today. When the league gives the MVP to Malone, it will definitely cause a huge stir.

controversy.

The reporter asked: "You have performed amazingly this season. Is there anyone you want to thank?"

"I want to thank the coaches of the team and my teammates. Without them, I wouldn't be able to play so well. I also want to thank the friends in life. Life can't just be training and games. Friends make me enriched. In addition,

I want to thank my parents, they will definitely be very happy to know my performance in another world."

A person's physical fitness comes largely from heredity. It is normal for Yang Jian to thank her parents.

He seems even more inspiring when he says these words because he is alone. Unlike many black players, he has enough family members to form a basketball team or even a football team.

A black female reporter asked: "Not only are you the lowest draft pick in history, but you are also an undrafted player. How do you feel about this?"

When black people ask questions, they like to steer the topic towards racial discrimination. Anything that goes wrong can be due to racial discrimination.

Yang Jian smiled and said: "For me, losing is an inspiration. NBA has always been a place where miracles happen. I am very happy that I created a miracle. Basketball is round, so everything is possible."

A reporter who wanted to stir up trouble asked: "Do you have anything to say to your college coach? You have been a substitute player in college and have been a star since joining the NBA."

"I wish him good luck. This is not sarcastic. I really hope everyone can ignore this matter and let it pass." Yang Jian paused and smiled: "I really don't hate him, not at all."

Of course Yang Jian doesn't hate Harvard's basketball coach, but the scouts of each team do. Because of this coach, they all failed to do a good job.

If Yang Jian had good statistics in college, he would have been selected in the lottery instead of being picked up by the Sonics after being undrafted. This will be a draft that changes the destiny of a team, and 28 teams missed it.

Got him.

After watching Yang Jian's interview, fans felt that he was a very generous person. Some student players were inspired, thinking that gold will definitely shine. Even if they are not reused in the school team, they will work hard to train and improve themselves.

Maybe they don't have many opportunities in college, but can they prove themselves on an NBA team?

Many people overthink it. If they want to prove themselves in the NBA, they must have amazing physical fitness. Otherwise, there will be no data in the university and there will not even be a chance for a trial training.

There are players similar to Yang Jian, and Vince Carter made the news. University of North Carolina coach Tim Smith was questioned by fans.

Carter became famous in high school and was elected Florida High School Player of the Year. Many people in the basketball industry were optimistic that he would enter the University of Florida or Florida State University. Carter's final decision disappointed his parents in his hometown and chose North Carolina.

Carter didn't get much room to play in his freshman season, and coach Tim Smith used him as a role player. Coincidentally, the coach at Harvard University is also named Tim.

Tim Smith explained that he wanted to play team basketball, and the fans expressed doubts. Stackhouse and Rasheed Wallace left North Carolina and joined the NBA last season. They were both high draft picks. Why did they play when they were there?

What about star tactics?

Next season, Carter will definitely get more ball rights in North Carolina. Yang Jian's butterfly effect has affected the NCAA.

Another affected college player is Ray Allen, who is preparing to participate in the draft. He is 196cm tall, weighs 93kg, is fast, has good jumping, and is good at catching and shooting. Because his style is very similar to Yang Jian, he is favored by all scouts.

In the first draft prediction, Ray Allen is firmly in the top five and is likely to be selected in the top three.

Yang Jian flew to Houston with the SuperSonics to continue the series.

The Rockets fought hard offensively, with good outside firepower, and Olajuwon also suppressed Kemp. But the SuperSonics' offense was better, winning 114 to 105 and leading 3-0 with a total score.

Yang Jian scored a game-high 36 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists, while Payton scored 18 points, 15 assists and 4 steals.

In the fourth game, the Rockets still couldn't defend against the Sonics' offense, even if Yang Jian's shooting touch was not good. Because the Sonics players grabbed offensive rebounds too hard and couldn't hit Kemp, P.J. Brown, and Irvin.

-Johnson and the other three may steal the ball for a second attack.

Kemp averaged 33 minutes per game in the regular season, scoring 18.4 points, 11.8 rebounds, and 2.2 assists, including 4 offensive rebounds. If he hadn't failed to control the number of fouls and turnovers, his playing time was a bit short, and the data could have been better.

In terms of rebounding, Kemp is slightly better than Olajuwon.

In addition to the three high points inside, Schrempf is also very efficient in rebounding. Yang Jian averaged less than 4 rebounds per game in the regular season and playoffs, just because the team does not need him to do this job.

Relying on their rebounding advantage and defense, the SuperSonics defeated the Rockets 104-97 in Game 4 despite generally poor outside players.
