Chapter 313 Best three team, defensive team

This season, the best defensive player was awarded to the Pistons.

Yang Di ranked third in all votes, below Big Ben and Duncan.

In the general opinion, Yang Di’s help defense definitely has no problems. With his super fast footwork and excellent jumping, he can radiate to the free throw line in the paint area, and he is particularly strong in pick-and-roll defenses, which directly enriches the Warriors’ defense level. .

However, Yang Di's single defense is not impeccable. Facing opponents who are much heavier than him, Yang Di is prone to foul trouble when defending, and if he does not jump, the opponent can easily use his height and weight to gain shooting space , hit him by surprise.

When selecting the best team, Yang Di, whose offensive data is much better than Daben, became the center of the third team.

Not only squeezed out Daben, but also squeezed Yao Ming out of the best team. You know, last year, Yao Ming was also selected to the league's third team.

The center in the second team before Yang Di is Amare Stoudemire, who averaged 26 points and 8.9 rebounds per game. He is indeed much better looking than Yang Di, and the Suns' record is the highest in the league.The previous round was O'Neal. O'Neal averaged 22.9 points, 10.4 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game, leading the Heat to the first place in the Eastern Conference. It is understandable that he was elected.

This is also an era of stars.

First team: Nash, Iverson, Nowitzki, Duncan and O'Neal; Second team: Ray Allen, Wade, James, Garnett, Stoudemire; Third team: Arenas, Kobe, McGrady , Marion and Yang Di.

Not only Yao Ming, Ginobili and other rookies with good statistics were not selected, but even veteran stars such as Carter and Kidd were also rejected.

When selecting the defensive lineup, many head coaches thought of the Warriors' No. [-], who was so overwhelmed and soaring, so in the first lineup, Yang Di also scored a lot of points.

There is no position in the defensive lineup, it just follows the best defensive lineup ranked by the head coach himself, and the top ten scores are finally taken.

Calculated in this way, Ben Wallace, Duncan, Yang Di, and Garnett were all selected for the defensive team.

Add in Bruce Bowen, and this year's All-Defensive Team has become a particularly strange one.

But the second team has become normal, Larry Hughes, Billups, Kirilenko, Prince and Marcus Camby.

The head coaches selected four of the Pistons' starting five into the best defensive team. Except for Hamilton, almost all of them are top defensive players, which shows how strong the Pistons' defense was during this period.

After the selection results came out, Yang Di overtook Yao Ming for the first time and became the hot topic of discussion among Chinese fans.

The pressure on the Basketball Association is even greater, and now many people are criticizing their ability to implement their work and the purity of their work. Even Yang Di, a native player like Yang Di, cannot be recruited into the national team. ?
If it is really for the sake of the country's record, no matter what the problem is, it should be possible to negotiate and solve it.

The better Yang Di's performance, the greater the pressure on the officials, and life is not so easy. Today's public opinion is becoming more and more open, which is tantamount to putting them on the stove.

What is even more frightening is that some media broke the news that the reason why Yang Di could not play for the country was not that he was not a national athlete, but that the Basketball Association wanted to obtain Yang Di’s personal income in the United States, like Yao Ming’s [-]% after tax. In that way, this is a compromise of "lowering your head".

Otherwise, when other players go out to play in the future, they will be like Yang Di. For them, they cannot be controlled.

After the playoffs, the Basketball Association officially sent personnel to Los Angeles to meet with Yang Di's agent, Bill Duffy, to really talk about Yang Di's return to the national team.

36 hours before the start of the draft, San Francisco.

In the Warriors' office, Bill Duffy drove over from Los Angeles.

Upon meeting, general manager Chris Mullin gave Bill a big hug and took the contract off the table.

"Yang Di's contract extension, you see if there is any problem."

"What's the problem? Haven't we communicated through the emails? The players union will read them." Bill Duffy pretended to decline, but he still took the contract and carefully read it word by word. .

"Will three years be too short, why not sign a long-term contract?" Chris Mullin persuaded Bill Duffy, still trying to sign a longer contract with Yang Di.

"It's not short, three years is actually quite a long time."

Bill Duffy said: "You can see the speed of Yang Di's progress. He will definitely be an All-Star in the league next season. In fact, 3 million in three years is definitely a low contract."

"If you sign a long-term contract, your salary will go up, and you can reach an average of tens of millions after signing for five years," Mullin said.

After a while, Bill Duffy read all the contracts, and then closed the contract.

"Okay, this contract will be returned to you, there is no problem." Bill Duffy said with a smile: "It's a pity that Yang Di is still on vacation in the Bahamas, otherwise I can sign the contract today."

"No hurry, anyway, he has already entrusted you, and there is no other external force to prevent him from leaving Golden State."

"Yes, he is very happy here, just like returning to his own home. The fans here are lovely and support him."

"I haven't asked him for his opinion in the draft yet. I don't know what he thinks." Mullin said.

Bill Duffy laughed: "I know that, I've talked to him about it before."

"He wants the team to pick two more insiders."

"Inside?" Mullin was taken aback. He didn't know why Yang Di had such an idea. According to his trial training in Chicago a few days ago, he planned to select some guards to strengthen the second team.

"Yang Di found that his shooting is getting more and more accurate, and his style of play is gradually developing in a comprehensive direction." Bill Duffy said: "I don't know if you have observed his playoff games. When facing Duncan, Except for the second attack to grab the rebound, most of the points are dribbles to the basket."

"Just like Charles Barkley, Yang Di can do this with his strength." Bill Duffy said.

Mullin was thoughtful. He knew that what Bill said was true. Yang Di was indeed very comprehensive. He was not particularly good at the single-defense ability required by the center forward position. Instead, he was a forward position. It should be more suitable for him. Coach Montgomery once told him about this.

But the problem is that there is already a very practical player Murphy at the power forward position, if Yang Di wants to play power forward.

Unless.

Mu Lin's heart skipped a beat, and he muttered to himself.

"Is it a deal?"
