Chapter 170 The Disturbance of the Best Rookie

Among the 04 rookies, there are quite a few popular ones.

德怀特·霍华德，出战82场，首发82场，场均12.0分10.0篮板0.9助攻0.9抢断1.7盖帽，投篮命中率52%。

埃梅卡·奥卡福，出战73场，首发73场，场均15.1分10.9篮板0.9助攻0.8抢断1.7盖帽，投篮命中率44.7%。

Ben Gordon, played 82 games, started 3 games, averaged 15.1 points, 2.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.1 blocks per game, shooting 41.1% from the field and 40.5% from the three-point range.

Ye Heping, played 73 games, started 52 games, averaged 12.8 points, 7.4 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 2.0 steals and 2.5 blocks per game, shooting 51.6% from the field and 38.7% from the three-point range.

There is hope for all five.

To be honest, because there are no outstanding ones, everyone has a chance.

Looking at the statistics alone, Okafor and Ye Heping are naturally better.

Okafor is a standard center data, with good points, rebounds and blocks.

Ye Heping has standard striker stats and is more versatile, especially the defensive stats are gorgeous.

On the real track, without Ye Heping's interference, Okafor finally won the best rookie.

He got 45.33% of the vote.

Ben Gordon came in second with 39.07 percent of the vote.

Howard was third with 14.2 percent of the vote.

Others are not worth mentioning.

But now with Ye Heping joining in, the result will be even more confusing.

Of course, Ye Heping doesn't have time to watch the news now, he's all in training, and hardly pays attention to social media.

Almost all the news I got was through the dictation of Tao Jia, Butler, and Fagan.

On this day, Fegan brought news from Nike.

According to Nike's internal sources, this year's best rookie will definitely be the spokesperson of Nike.

"After all, the best rookie is voted by sports reporters across the United States and Canada, so there are a lot of interference factors outside the field."

"And you and Okafor have significantly better data, so Nike will choose one of you."

Nike's influence is really big!

Ye Heping, Okafor, and Ben Gordon are all the spokespersons of Nike, and Howard is the spokesperson of Adidas.

If Howard's data is crushed, it will be difficult for Nike to contribute, after all, fans are not fools.

But Howard's data is not as good as that of Ye Heping and Okafor, so I'm sorry, Nike still has the ability to do something.

So the candidates are Ye Heping, Okafor, and Ben Gordon.

"Ben Gordon's image is a little bit worse, and there are a lot of off-court problems, coupled with obvious defensive problems, he is only suitable for the role of the sixth man. So Nike should not choose Gordon."

After all, it is still a matter of interests and capabilities.

Nike will support whoever can bring more benefits to Nike.

And if you are strong enough, you will naturally be able to bring more benefits to Nike.

"Then who is more likely, me or Okafor?"

Ye Heping asked.

"Of course it's you. Center forwards don't sell shoes. It's an iron law in the industry."

Feigen stood firmly behind Ye Heping.

"Don't worry, I will communicate more with Nike and find a way to make them regard you as the only choice. And what you have to do is to perform well in the playoffs."

"Although the best rookie only depends on the performance in the regular season, if you perform well in the playoffs, you will definitely have impression points."

Ye Heping nodded. He never doubted Feigen's professional ability.

"There is also Facebook, they have already accumulated a lot of users, the influence is not small, and they can also exert their strength!"

"You don't have to worry about this, I will discuss these matters with Zuckerberg and Tao Jia."

NBA players are never alone, everyone has their own team.

Although strength is the most important, team support is also indispensable.

As a reborn person, Ye Heping knew this clearly after seeing James' case.

"Dan, thank you for your support this season. After the season is over, I will not let you down!"

As the boss, Ye Heping doesn't need to do everything by himself, he just needs to make overall arrangements.

Of course, if you want the cow to contribute, let the cow eat grass first.

Ye Heping must also give Feigen some sweetness, he is not Tao Jia who is so devoted to Ye Heping, to put it bluntly, following Ye Heping is for profit.

Ye Heping had to let Fagen see the benefits, so he would work harder.

Fagan left happily. It's easy to communicate with smart people. It doesn't need to talk too much, just understand each other.

Not long after, Facebook started its propaganda campaign against Ye Heping.

After all, it is his own family, Zuckerberg also regards Ye Heping as a friend, and he is also good for Facebook, so he is naturally responsible.

“场均12.8分7.4篮板3.3助攻2.0抢断2.5盖帽。”

"Ranked 75th in the league in scoring, 35th in rebounds, 60th in assists, 4th in steals, and 3rd in blocks. An all-around striker and future defensive leader."

"He is different from other rookies. He was discovered by the Lakers as an undrafted pick. Starting from the selection in the preseason, he was a substitute, starter, and main player. Counterattack step by step."

"He is different from those gorgeous rookies, doing dirty and tiring work, and he is the most trusted guy by teammates and coaches!"

"Handsome appearance, the most handsome person in the class of 04!"

"MVP of the Rookie Challenge, the youngest triple-double record holder in the league, two quadruple-doubles, countless 5x5s, and his ability to kill the Suns at the beginning of the season is no worse than anyone else!"

"The player's good brother, Atkins was bullied, he was the first to come forward."

"A good student of the coach, the coach is sick, and he is willing to give up even the quadruple double that he might get."

"A tough guy. Los Angeles has a solid wall. Any teammate dares to hand over his back to him."

"A kind man who donated to schools, served the community, and adopted children whose mothers had thrown them out of their homes."

Suddenly, a large number of articles praising Ye Heping and establishing a positive image of Ye Heping sprang up on the Internet.

This overwhelming publicity was initially done by Facebook alone, and then Nike also joined in. It is obvious that Fagan's work has had an effect.

New York, NBA headquarters.

Stern, Silver, and Tatum drank coffee and chatted after finishing their work.

Stern suddenly asked: "What do you think about the best rookie thing?"

Nike can influence the selection of the best rookie, and the league executives have it easier.

For example, in the pk between James and Anthony in the 03 session, Stern's attitude played a decisive role.

So the chatter of these three people is likely to determine the ownership of the best rookie.

Tatum said with a smile: "Ye Heping, there is no doubt about it!"

"His statistics are very comprehensive, his appearance is handsome, and his image is also very popular among fans, and the energy behind him is not small! Coupled with the huge Chinese market..."

Tatum has Chinese blood, and he has been dealing with the Chinese market, so he has a good feeling for Ye Heping.

Xiao Hua frowned: "I think he interfered too much with the selection. This is not a good thing. A rookie dares to influence the league's decision. What about in the future?"

"In addition, there are problems with his style of play. A defensive role player is destined not to be a team leader. The best rookie should naturally choose a team leader like Okafor, not a role player."

The point of view of the two is completely different, but what they say is also reasonable.

Stern nodded: "Since you have different opinions, let's make an agreement this time, don't influence the judges' choice, let them choose by themselves."

"Will this be out of our control?"

Xiao Hua was a little worried.

Stern smiled, full of confidence.

"Who should it be, or who!"

Obviously, Stern also has a candidate in mind.

But he has enough trust in that person, and he feels that even if he doesn't help, that person can succeed.

That's why he said this.

And who does Stern like, do you have to ask?
Ye Heping!
Since Ye Heping flattered Stern during the All-Star Weekend, Stern has seen Ye Heping getting more and more happy, which is already visible to the naked eye.

Xiao Hua curled his lips, he didn't think Ye Heping would definitely win.

Stern is so egotistical!
If Okafor is finally elected, I don't know what his expression will be.

Xiao Hua began to look forward to it.
