Chapter 113 Create a record

Whether he can get the best defensive player and best rookie, Li Du doesn't care much, he cares more about the second game against the Suns.

Not caring about awards does not mean that Li Duzhen is so high-level that he doesn't care about these honors. As a rookie, he needs honors more than anyone else. It's just that compared to honors, he is more concerned about the outcome of the competition than the honors!And Li Du himself knows that if he can help the team go to the end, or even win the championship, he will get more and more honors, and the gold content is far beyond the comparison of the honors in the regular season!

Li Du doesn't care, it doesn't mean other people don't care, and Pelinka is one of them.As a professional basketball agent, he knows very well how beneficial it will be to Li Du if he gets the best rookie and the best defensive player at the same time!

Recently, Pelinka, Nike, and Adidas have been discussing the signing of Li and Du. The two companies were very tough at the beginning. After all, they are the two largest sporting goods companies in the world. However, as Li and Du become more and more attractive in the NBA Pay attention, they have already begun to let go.

If Li Du wins these two awards at the same time, Li Du will become the first person to win the best rookie and best defensive player at the same time!This is an unprecedented record!No one has done it since the first year of the NBA, and no one has ever done it before the merger of the NBA and the ABA!If Li Du succeeds, he will be recorded in basketball history!Commercial value will also rise infinitely!
On April 4, the day after the game between the Suns and the Lakers, the NBA finally announced the winners of the best sixth man and best coach.

The winner of the best sixth man is Manu Ginobili of the Spurs. He averaged 19.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 4.8 assists per game. The Spurs can rank second in the West this season. Attributed to Ginobili, and this is also the first time Ginobili has won the best sixth man!

The best coach was won by the head coach of the Raptors, Sam Mitchell. Sam Mitchell contributed a lot to the strong Eastern Conference.

With Rookie of the Year, Most Improved Player and Defensive Player of the Year to be announced the next day, Pelinka was so nervous that he didn't sleep well all night.On the contrary, Li Du is very indifferent. He has been watching the video replays of the Suns game with his teammates in the video analysis room. The most important thing is that he has to find out the situation of the Suns continuous pick-and-roll at the end of the last game, and then find a way to break it.

Through video playback, Li Du finally understood why he was blocked.Dior and Marion are not standing in a regular two-sided parallel position during the double pick-and-roll, but diagonally, with Dior on the upper side and Marion on the back.So when Li Du easily bypassed Dior, he had already stood above Marion, and if he tried to bypass Marion at this time, there was no room left!
I couldn't feel it during the game, but now through the replay, Li Du understood the sun's plan. They set this trick for themselves through the continuous commonality that all human beings have.Ever since Li Du integrated Baguazhang twisting footwork into basketball, especially after using this method to break the pick-and-roll between Wade and O'Neal, this tactic has been invincible, and Li Du has been using it all the time, so the Suns this time Taking advantage of Li Du's point, first lead him to bypass Dio on the upper line, so that when Li Du turns around again, he will lose the space to bypass Marion again, so he will be blocked.

"I see!" Li Du looked at the video, and he had to praise Nash and the Suns in his heart, "It's not bad that they thought of such a way to stop themselves, but it's a pity that they don't know what peak Mingjin is. Don't even know what people at the peak of Mingjin can do!"

If Li Du didn't watch the video, it would be fine if he didn't know why he was blocked. Now that he knew, then when Li Du encountered this situation again, he would have other ways.His footsteps are much faster than others. As long as you pay attention, this pick-and-roll tactic is useless to him.

Thinking of this, the corners of Li Du's mouth turned up slightly, "Senior Nash, you underestimate me too much. If there is no other way for the next game, you just wait to lose!"

Li Du was woken up by Pelinka early the next morning. Pelinka roared excitedly on the phone: "Li, you won the best rookie and best defensive player! Did you know that NBA history In the world, even in the entire history of basketball, no one has ever won these two awards at the same time! You set a record and will be recorded in history forever!"

"Understood, I understand, Robert, you must be a little excited." Li Du rubbed his ears that were numb from Pelinka's shock, and said calmly, "These two awards, except for the best defensive player, have a high gold content. Other than that, there is nothing to be excited about. And this way, I am standing on the cusp of the storm again, which is not necessarily a good thing."

"Uh..." Pelinka was immediately speechless by Li Du, and smiled wryly, "You bastard, can't you act like a normal young man! It's good to be a little excited!"

Li Du laughed: "Of course I am happy to win the award, but the outcome of the competition is more important. If I win the award but fail to win the competition, my award will be ironic!"

"You are indeed the same type of person as Kobe!" Pelinka sighed: "He is also like this. Apart from the championship, he has no other awards he wants to win. The NBA has officially announced the results, and it is estimated that tomorrow night will be the game. Give you an award."

After explaining to Li Du, Pelinka smiled again: "Li, you don't care about these two awards, you will definitely care about the reputation and benefits they bring! Do you know, before I call you, Nike and Adidas have already called me, your value has increased, and I have more bargaining chips with them. Just wait, I will give you a satisfactory contract!"

"Increased? How much?" Li Du immediately asked, it was impossible for him not to care about this.

"It used to be about 400 million per year, and it was still a long-term contract. Now it has reached 650 million per year. This time I will fight for a short-term contract for you!" Pelinka said with a smile: "I believe that after two years, you will definitely be more than you are now." s price!"

"Okay!" Li Du slapped the table, "I'll leave this to you! I will perform better, and we will definitely win the revenge battle between the Lakers and the Suns!"

After hanging up Pelinka's phone call, Kobe and other teammates also called to congratulate him one after another, and other players who knew Li Du well also called to congratulate him. After Li Du answered the phone, it was already noon.Li Du checked the time, hurriedly ate lunch and went straight to the training ground.

Li Du knows that no matter how many honors he has, if there is no championship, everything is nothing.This is the cruelty of competitive sports. No matter how strong you are and how good your performance is, if you don't get the highest honor, it will be an eternal regret!At the end of their careers, many veterans don't ask for high salaries or statistics, but only for the championship ring that represents the pinnacle of world basketball!
Li Du also wanted a championship ring, and not just one!
