Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 553 Chapter 553 Our Eternal Basketball God!
The NBA's regular season awards are slowly announced after the playoffs begin, but in fact, voting ends before the regular season ends.

The results came out before the end of the regular season.

Therefore, the system told Du Kang that his team won all the individual awards in this year's regular season.

This was also the first time that Du Kang's team won all the individual awards in the NBA regular season, and finally completed a purple achievement.

In other words, Du Kang now has two more purple glory points.

You can buy two more Silver Dream Cards.

Now he and the Bobcats have a stronger foundation.

The Bobcats lost to the Celtics in their last game of the regular season, but in the post-game press conference, no one paid attention to whether the Bobcats lost the game.

Everyone's focus was on Coach D leading the Bobcats to an 80-2 record.

Du Kang attended the post-game press conference with Jordan.

As soon as Jordan arrived at the post-match press conference, he was teased by the media reporters present.

"Michael, I have good news for you. You have regained the regular season record that belongs to you. I have bad news for you. The record still belongs to Coach D. You did not steal it. You shared it."

My goodness, if it were the old Danzi, he would definitely be exposed if he was teased like this.

But when Danzi heard what these trouble-making reporters said, he remained very calm.

"So, I need to stay tied to Coach D from now on. I'm really worried that after Coach D leaves me, I'll lose this record again. Hahahaha... What a pity. If I could win all the games this season, I wouldn't have to be afraid."

This 80-win season is definitely a season worth remembering for Danzi.

But this season is not without its flaws.

The only drawback is that we lost two games, and these two games were lost due to accidents.

For Jordan and the Bobcats players, it was a surprise that Amazing Monty came up with such a style of basketball.

Any normal person would not come up with such a tactical system.

The end result is harming both others and yourself.

The Celtics not only hurt the Bobcats, but also hurt themselves.

In the end, the Bobcats and Celtics had a fight, and the Lakers were the ones who got away with it.

This kind of thing, within the Bobcats team, really makes people laugh and cry about the magical Monty.

However, the players on the Bobcats still have great respect for Magical Monty. Even if it was an accident, even if it was just a glimmer of light, it was Magical Monty who was flashing, not anyone else.

Today is a big day for the Bobcats, so in the post-game press conference, everyone tacitly did not mention anything about the Lakers.

On the Bobcats' big day, mentioning that the Lakers are invincible is really offensive.

Whether it is Coach D or Jordan, it is difficult to offend them.

So, everyone was very happy at tonight's post-match press conference.

As the favorite for this season's regular season MVP, the question Jordan is asked most often is of course the regular season MVP question.

Jordan's scoring statistics this season are not so impressive.

场均只有15分8篮板7助攻3.5抢断3盖帽，比起同队可以砍下场均28分的比斯利来说，丹子这个得分，连队内第二都算不上。

But Danzi's influence in the game is indeed incredible.

Teammates, you can attack as you like and I will clean up your mess. Leave all the defense to me. I will take over when you are tired of attacking. This season, Jordan has put almost all his energy on defense.

Therefore, many people say that Jordan is likely to become the first player in NBA history to win the MVP by relying on all-out defense.

Facing these people's admiration, Danzi remained very humble, saying that nothing was certain, and what's more, his teammates were all talented and could each get the MVP.

In response to this, the reporters present smiled knowingly and then asked about Du Kang's personal awards in this season's regular season.

Du Kang’s answer was surprising.

It should be said that Du Kang’s answer even frightened Jordan.

"Regular season MVP, I think what you said is very right. There are many excellent players in the NBA this season, and the Bobcats also have many excellent players, but Michael is the NBA player with the best performance and the greatest sacrifice. He is our leader and he deserves this honor. Congratulations to Michael on winning the sixth regular season MVP of his career."

The reason why even Jordan was shocked by Du Kang's answer was because Du Kang really answered all of them.

No matter what question the reporter asked about the award, Du Kang would answer directly and even mention the name of the person.

"This year's Defensive Player of the Year is still Michael Jordan. I know you will say that Whiteside of the Heat averages 3.7 blocks per game, but Michael is the league leader in steals and second in blocks. He is the player with the highest defensive influence in the NBA this season. This season's Defensive Player of the Year will be the most valuable Defensive Player of the Year in NBA history because of Michael. This season's Michael has told everyone that you can win the MVP by playing defense to the extreme."

For most of the NBA, the honor of Defensive Player of the Year was actually useless.

If the best defensive player only knows how to defend, then he is just a role player. Those great best defensive players, like Olajuwon and Jordan in the past, are so great because of their offense.

This season, Dan Zi really relied on his defense to the point where he almost won the MVP, which is unique in NBA history.

"This year's best rookie, of course, is Ding Yanyuhang. Karl-Anthony Towns of the Chicago Bulls is also outstanding, as is Porzingis of the Miami Heat and Russell of the Clippers, but Ding Yanyuhang is the original one. As long as you see the game, I think you will definitely not vote for others. A truly good voter will not just look at the data after each game."

For other teams, it is true that reporters get to know the players just by looking at the post-game data.

But the Bobcats are different.

The Bobcats are the only team in NBA history whose every game is broadcast live nationwide.

That is to say, reporters can watch every game live across the United States.

Bobcats players don’t need to worry about the statistics. It doesn’t matter if the statistics are not good. As long as your strength is strong enough, everyone can see it.

The reason why Jordan was able to win the MVP with this data is because everyone can see Jordan's strength and performance and is not obsessed with his data.

The same is true for Ding Yanyuhang.

His strength is stronger than that of Towns, Porzingis and Russell now.

What's more, he is the starter in many games for the Bobcats.

When facing NBA superstar players such as Leonard, he never lost the upper hand. Now Ding Yanyuhang's trading value, compared with top superstars, is definitely not comparable to that of Towns and others.

"For this season's best sixth man, I would choose Tony Parker. Tony sacrificed a lot with the Bobcats. He is fully capable of competing for the NBA regular season MVP with other teams. He is one of the best players in the NBA and has a very strong influence on the game. But in the Bobcats, Tony is willing to be a supporting role for the team, which is very touching. He is an NBA legend. If the award is given to Grant Hill in the end, I will not be surprised. His playing time is a little less, but the strength he has shown is obvious to all. He is one of the strongest players in the NBA. Like Parker, his performance is impeccable."

Du Kang is really not sure who is the best sixth man this season.

In limited playing time, Hill performed better.

But Parker won because he played more time, played more games, and performed well.

In the end, the judges gave it to either Hill or Parker, and both of them should be able to accept it.

"The Most Improved Player goes to Mike Beasley of course. In the history of the NBA, no player has improved as fast as Mike Beasley. Last season, he was a player that no one in the NBA needed, but this season, he will definitely be a first-team player. If Michael wasn't there, he would be the MVP of this season. No, even with Michael this season, Beasley would still be the MVP." Except for the sprint stage at the end of the season when James messed up his mentality, Beasley's performance this season has been perfect.

Even though James had a bad mentality, Beasley's MVP ranking did not fall out of the top three.

This season, Beasley is the second-best player in the NBA and is very influential on both offense and defense.

"Coach D, one last question. Do you think you can retain the title of best head coach this season?"

In the history of the NBA, it is rare for a head coach to be awarded the title of Best Coach twice in a row.

To be precise, no head coach has ever won the best player award twice in a row.

This is actually a very interesting thing.

Many people say that Jordan's MVP is causing aesthetic fatigue. According to Jordan's standards, there are very few MVPs who can win consecutive titles in the league's history.

In fact, the award that is most fatigued in the NBA is the best head coach award.

Du Kang felt that as long as he accomplished this, it would be considered a very great achievement.

Why hasn't the system prompted him to complete this achievement yet?
Could it be that my best coach is unstable?

Or is it that the voting for the best coach has not been completed yet?
Du Kang felt that the latter possibility was more likely.

Sure enough, just as Du Kang was confused.

"Ding, congratulations on winning the NBA regular season best coach award. You have completed the achievement 'Best Coach' and are rewarded with 1 purple glory point."

A smile appeared on Du Kang's face.

"If any of you vote for someone else, I will be disappointed. I think no one is more suitable for the honor of best coach than me this season."

Du Kang's answer caused laughter from everyone present.

Because, although what Du Kang said was arrogant, it was very true.

However, a reporter from Boston laughed.

"Coach D, if you were still with the Lakers, even if you led the Lakers to 80 wins this season, I would not vote for you."

The Boston reporter finished speaking, and now there was another burst of laughter.

Even Du Kang himself laughed.

Because this Boston reporter is right.

If he were still with the Lakers, he would not have the chance to win the best coach award again.

I can only say that this kind of thing does require opportunity.

It is difficult for a team to make major breakthroughs in two consecutive years.

"Michael, now can you tell me about your next opponent?"

The regular season is over and the NBA regular season rankings are released.

In the Western Conference, the Lakers are ranked first, the Warriors are ranked second, the Thunder are ranked third, the Rockets are ranked fourth, and the Timberwolves are ranked fifth. The Timberwolves have a better record than the Rockets, but their second place in the Northwest Division is not as good as the Thunder, nor as good as the second place Warriors in the Pacific Division, so they can only finish fifth.

Ranked sixth are the Clippers, ranked seventh are the Mavericks, and ranked eighth are the Trail Blazers.

Among them, the Lakers and Warriors have similar records, the Thunder are in a class of their own, the Rockets and Timberwolves are similar, and the Clippers, Mavericks and Trail Blazers are similar.

In terms of performance in the Western Conference, the playoff teams are divided into four tiers, which are actually three tiers. The Thunder, which has acquired Anthony, is now definitely a first-tier team.

And on the eastern side.

The top spot is of course the 80-win Bobcats.

The Celtics ranked second.

Ranked third is the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers led by Oden and Irving have been overshadowed by the Bobcats and Celtics in the Eastern Conference this season, but the team is very stable now. If it weren't for the magical Monty's changes to basketball, this team would also be very strong and stable.

Ranked fourth is the Heat, whose situation is similar to that of the Cavaliers, with similar strength and conditions. If it were old-school basketball, they would be as strong as the Cavaliers. But now, after the magical Monty brought the new-school basketball, it is obvious that they cannot beat the Celtics.

So, in the Eastern Conference, four originally similar super teams were divided into three gears.

No one in the Eastern Conference could defeat the Celtics, but they were beaten to death by the Lakers in the finals.

The Bobcats were in the first tier and played the strongest old-school basketball, but after the new school came to power, they were defeated by the Celtics in two games.

The Heat and Cavaliers are in another league.

Ranked fifth are the Raptors led by Paul. Under the leadership of players such as Paul and Gay, the Raptors have secured their place in the playoffs and are still ranked fifth.

It’s a pity that the Celtics are not ranked fourth, otherwise it would be interesting.

The sixth-ranked Eastern Conference team is the Knicks led by Seth Curry, who is also the NBA's scoring leader this season.

The seventh-ranked team is the 76ers coached by Iverson. This season, Canaan and Covington, who were signed from the Lakers, performed very well and led the 76ers, a young team with a young coach, into the playoffs.

The team ranked eighth this season is naturally the Chicago Bulls led by Towns.

The Chicago Bulls miraculously made it to the playoffs at the last minute.

When other teams had already despaired of the playoffs, the Bulls dared to fight hard in the final moments and moved up. Among the teams in the Eastern Conference that could compete for the eighth place, the Bulls were the most motivated.

This is actually very interesting.

They really want to meet their god in the playoffs!

After all, Michael Jordan is the god of the Bulls.

Although this is not the first time that Michael Jordan has been an enemy of the Bulls in his career.

However, this is the first time we play against the Bulls in the playoffs.

Therefore, the reporters present were all looking forward to Jordan's attitude.

Looking forward to Jordan's journey home.

Facing expectant gazes, Danzi finally looked at the reporters from Chicago.

"If you don't welcome me back, I'll be disappointed. Now, I'm still the god there, right?"

The Chicago reporter who was being looked at by Danzi was stunned for a moment, then stood up with a smile.

"Of course, our eternal basketball god, Michael Jordan!"
