The second round of the playoffs is in progress, and some awards for the regular season have been selected one after another.

The Rookie of the Year award was won by Allen Iverson of the 76ers. He is the only rookie to average 20 per game this season, with 23.5 points, 4.1 rebounds, 7.5 assists and 2.1 steals.

How good is Iverson? The media collectively praised his 5 consecutive games with 40 points, saying that his achievement surpassed Jordan and Yang Jian. The media also ignored that Iverson averaged 4.4 turnovers per game and became the league's turnover leader in his rookie season.

thing.

Moreover, Iverson's five 40-game games occurred between April 7 and 14. Before that, his data had no obvious advantage over Ray Allen. In order to ensure that Iverson becomes the best rookie, the 76ers coaching staff

Giving him unlimited power.

Iverson would also rack up points like crazy in garbage time. No matter how many points the team fell behind, he would play almost the entire game.

His classic game was against the Bulls on April 7, a 102-128 defeat. He played for 48 minutes and scored 44 points and 8 assists. Jordan only played 30 minutes and scored 30 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks.

The data ended up being the audience.

On the 9th, Iverson had 40 points, 8 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 steals and 7 turnovers. The 76ers lost to the Hawks 101-116 at home. The final quarter was garbage time again. Iverson played the entire game and led the team to a 37-26 win in the final quarter.

The score difference was narrowed.

Against the Bucks on the 11th, Iverson played his most efficient game of the season. He made 16 of 28 shots, 3 of 4 three-pointers, 9 of 11 free throws, and scored 44 points, 3 rebounds, 9 assists, and 2 steals.

However, the 76ers still lost, 118 to 126 to the Eastern Conference underdog Bucks, which ruined their opponent's plan.

In back-to-back games against the Cavaliers on the 12th, Iverson scored 50 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 9 turnovers. The 76ers lost 118-125.

Against the Washington Bullets on the 14th, Iverson scored 40 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. The 76ers lost 110-131 at home, marking a gorgeous losing streak.

After these five games, the conflict between Iverson and Stackhouse has become irreconcilable. Stackhouse can't wait to help his opponent double-team Iverson on the court. He really wants to "play the point guard."

It means beating literally.

Of course, Iverson's personal ability is still very strong. Ray Allen also improved his statistics, averaging only 19.7 points per game in the end.

Ray Allen's breakthrough ability is not as good as Iverson's, and his ability to draw fouls is average. He averages only 3.6 free throws per game. Iverson averages 7.2 free throws per game, which is slightly lower than Yang Jian's 7.4 and better than Jordan's 7.

All-Rookie First Team: Iverson, Ray Allen, Antoine Walker, Shareef Raheem, Marcus Camby.

Second team: Marbury, Kobe Bryant, Matt Maloney, Corey Kittles, Osela Harrington.

Except for Harrington, the second team was all defenders. The 1996 draft was actually a great year for defenders.

Harrington only played 15 minutes per game, scoring 5.4 points, 3.5 rebounds, and shooting 55.2% from the field. He was selected for the second team because of the team's record-breaking record. The statistics of the interior rookies are not good, and no one is better than him.

Suitable for selection.

The Best Sixth Man was won by John Starks of the Knicks, who averaged 13.8 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.2 steals per game. In this era, few stars are willing to come off the bench, and the sixth man's statistics are very average.

The Most Improved Player Award was won by Heat substitute center Isaac Austin. Since Mourning missed some time due to injury, Isaac started 17 games and played all 82 regular season games, scoring 9.7 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 0.5 steals.

0.5 blocks.

The best coach is George Karl, and he is elected without any suspense. If the SuperSonics have the best record in history, and George Karl still cannot win the best coach, that is pure shady.

It is worth mentioning that in a parallel world, this is the third time that Pat Riley has won the Best Coach Award. He is missing an important honor and wants to tie Nelson with the most Best Coach Awards in history.

Gotta keep working hard.

The best defensive player is Hawks center Dikembe Mutombo. He averaged 13.3 points, 11.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.6 steals and 3.3 blocks per game.

Mutombo won the award, but it was Yang Jian who was trumpeted by the media. Because Yang Jian scored 71 points, 5 rebounds and 12 assists against the Hawks. Some people say this is an important reason why Mutombo won the award. The judges think

The Hawks' perimeter defense is so bad that they can always be broken through by their opponents, leaving Mutombo to constantly make up defenses.

Do you want to say that the Hawks' perimeter defense is bad? However, they still have perimeter players selected to the All-Defensive Team, which has caused quite a bit of controversy.

All-Defensive Team: Payton, Jordan, Pippen, Karl Malone, Mutombo.

Defensive second team: Mookie Blaylock (Hawks), John Stockton, Anthony Mason Jr., P.J. Brown, Olajuwon.

There is no controversy that Yang Jian, the steal leader, was not selected for the All-Defensive Team. SuperSonics fans all know that Yang Jian often leaves his opponents two meters away during the regular season and holds a "Dangerous Journey" concert on the court, making it easy for players to match him.

Get good data.

There is no suspense about the biggest award in the regular season. Yang Jian was unanimously elected as the regular season MVP, becoming the first player in history to do this. Stephen Curry changed history and contributed an attribute point.

The unlucky Curry has lost two important honors in his career before he graduated from elementary school. This is obviously metaphysics. Curry is destined to be robbed of honors by the first brother, whether it is the first brother in the league or the first brother Dala.

Yang Jian also became the youngest regular season MVP winner in history. He was 11 days shy of his 21st birthday when the league announced it. Originally, this record belonged to 22-year-old Derrick Rose, and Rose therefore contributed an attribute point to Yang Jian.

.

Karl Malone did not contribute any more attribute points. He lost the chance to win the MVP in the opening game because of Yang Jian's words after the game.

In addition, Steve Nash contributed an attribute point. He is no longer the first foreign player to be elected MVP, which has changed important history.

At the award ceremony, reporters interviewed Yang Jian, and one person asked: "What motivates you to continue to get better?"

Yang Jian thought for a while and said with a smile: "I have no special motivation. I just treat my hobby as a career. If I have to say there is any motivation, it is the desire to win. Standing on the court, my desire to win makes me more focused and wants to win.

I have to win every game. In addition, I have great teammates and they all perform very well."

Yang Jian always remembers to praise his teammates, this is a must.

Payton averaged 36.3 minutes per game, scored 19.1 points, 3.6 rebounds, 7 assists and 2.3 steals, and shot 51.8% from the field.

Kemp averaged 33 minutes per game, scoring 20.2 points, 10.7 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.5 steals and 1 block. He shot 56.7% from the field and his scoring efficiency was amazing.

Together with Schrempf, who shot 52.6% from the field, and Sam Perkins, who shot 42% from three-point range, the five of them can make each other successful on the court.

The reporter asked: "What are you most proud of throughout the season?"

Yang Jian thought for a while and shook his head. "I can't answer this question. I am very proud most of the time and there are too few times when I am low-key. If you ask me when I am the most low-key, I might still be able to remember it."

The reporter immediately asked: "When are you the most low-key?"

"When the box office of "Fifty First Dates" exceeded 100 million, the main creators all went to participate in a TV show. They talked about their feelings and were very excited. I was the only one who didn't go. I kept the lowest profile."

The reporters all laughed. They liked Yang Jian's speaking style very much. This was much more interesting than those who solemnly said that they worked hard, thanked famous celebrities, and boasted about their idols.

Humility is a virtue, but in the NBA, high-profile people always get more attention.

The reporter said: "Your performance this season can be described as unprecedented. Many people think that you have changed the basketball game, allowing more and more players to try to shoot three-pointers, and the team has begun to attack and win. What do you think?"

Yang Jian smiled and said: "I am very happy to receive this kind of evaluation. Things often change people, and people cannot change things. But I have changed some things."

He has indeed changed some things, making people think that the Chinese are very powerful. Yang Jian is not the first case of foreign players beating local American players. The first one is Olajuwon, who has become an American citizen.

The reporter asked: "Do you think your life has changed?"
