Kwame Brown's Freshman

Chapter 137 The Awards 2
Kwame didn't win the Defensive Player of the Year due to past impression points, while Bruce Bowen's character on the field was too bad.Although Iverson and Hughes are both functional defensive players, they have not reached the point where they can win the best defensive player, so although they are favored by the media, they still did not win this award like Artest.But Kobe and Duncan are in the top ten every year, and they don't have his share every year, and they are used to it.Camby is on and off because of too many injuries. As long as he can play 70 games in a season, he will almost win this award. The record of the Nuggets is not bad. The size adds a lot of points.

Kevin Garnett is limited by his record, otherwise he is the best defensive player on the planet, not one of them.This is why Garnett urgently needs a superstar to partner with him. Garnett is not the kind of player with a particularly strong ability to lead the team. Similar to Garnett, he is comprehensive enough to make a strong team stronger, but he does not have the ability to make a qualitative change in a weak team. This has something to do with Garnett's personal style of play.

Last year, the team gathered two old players, Cassell and Madman, who still possessed All-Star abilities, and instantly showed Garnett's ability to connect the offensive and defensive ends of the team, and won the first place in the regular season. Garnett also won the regular season mvp because of this, so Garnett needs a strong teammate whether it is for the championship or for his own personal awards.

Regular season MVP, the biggest award in the regular season of the year, was also settled before this round of games. There was no suspense. The star of the Phoenix Suns, Steve Nash, easily won the most first votes and the highest points by an absolute advantage, and won the regular season mvp, Steve Nash averaged 20.4 points, 11.5 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 3.5 turnovers per game this season, helping the Suns become the only team with more than 60 wins this season. The Suns transformed from last season's No. [-] contender Becoming the regular season champion is almost entirely due to Nash. The small ball whirlwind brought by him and D'Antoni, that is, the bombardment tactics, brought a new feeling to this league. This league can win like this without relying on defense. The ball, it turns out that winning can also be won so happily!Now the Suns' bombardment tactic has completely replaced the King's Princeton tactic and has become the most gorgeous and popular tactic in the league.The sun has replaced the king as a synonym for gorgeousness, and it has also soared to become the top two point guards in the league.

All the teams with more than 60 wins in history are all excellent defensive teams. Even the Lakers in the 80s, who claimed to play offensive basketball, also had Michael Cooper, the best defensive player.The Lakers who won three consecutive championships at the beginning of the century also had Kobe as a strong perimeter defender, but the Suns really won the regular season championship solely by offense.

If Kobe hadn't rested so many games, with the Lakers' second-highest record in the league this year, coupled with his efficiency value of 28 this year, plus an average of 35 points per game, it is possible to compete with Nash for mvp, but that is only if.

Nash said that this is all due to the team, especially the coach. His deployment allowed everyone in this team to play to their abilities, so the team achieved such great results.

This year's best rookie is almost all Dwight Howard and Emeka Okafor are competing. Okafor can send 15+10+2 data per game, and Howard can send 11+12+2 data per game. , In the end, Okafor won the best rookie award with his better scoring ability.

These awards voted by the media have been awarded, and the best team selected by the head coaches of each team has also been released.

However, Howard was unanimously selected to the first team of the best team together with Okafor in the best rookie team. In addition, the 76ers' Andre Iguodala, Ben Gordon and Rolle were also selected to the first team. -Deng, Iguodala was able to contribute 9 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists in his rookie season, but his scoring ability is not good. In addition to dunks, he still dunks.

Ben Gordon is really awesome. He can't do anything, but he can score. As a substitute, he can average 15 points per game in a scorer-filled Bull. Bobby Jackson defeated.

Luol Deng is not bad, and he is not inferior to Iguodala, averaging 11 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists per game.

Compared with the outstanding talent of the first team, the second team is a bit inferior. Although there are superstar embryos such as Josh Smith and Al Jefferson, there are also Kostic and Childers, so there are no stars. Comparable players, even Humphries was selected to the second team because he averaged 6+7 per game after sitting firmly in the first half of the season.

Although Nash is the mvp of this season, he is not the player with the highest votes in the best team. In the eyes of the head coach, Shaq O'Neal is still the best player in the world. Able to send 23 points and 10 rebounds per game.

The All-NBA first team was led by O'Neal, followed by Dirk Nowitzki, Nash, and Kobe. Kwame and Duncan were included in the first team due to the same score.

If the Mavericks can get rid of the Rockets and enter the second round, Kwame will be in trouble. Compared with Duncan, who has already started to decline early, Nowitzki, who has entered his peak this year, is Kwame's biggest opponent in the West.Nowitzki has averaged 26 points and 10 rebounds per game this year, the highest scorer among inside players. This center has the stature of a guard, but he is a player who has developed better guard skills than guards. He is definitely the top three player in the league.

The second team was led by Allen Iverson, Garnett, Stoudemire, LeBron James, and Wade, who had undergone surgery and changed to a power forward. There was no center.The third lineup is even better, Sean Marion, McGrady, Arenas, Ray Allen, Larry Hughes, no one is a center.In other words, only O'Neal was selected as a center for the best team this season. No wonder it is said that this is the end of the center. Even Stoudemire is unwilling to play center.

The first team of the best defensive team consists of Ben Wallace, Garnett, Bowen, Duncan, Hughes, and the second team consists of Billups, Camby, Kirilenko, Prince, Kobe, Wade , Kidd composed of 7 people, the latter four were selected at the same time because of the same score.

As soon as the awards came out, there were a lot of surprises. Almost everyone felt that Kwame was overrated. ESPN experts bluntly said that although Kwame is one of the few powerful insiders in the league, he was still not selected for the first team. They even released conspiracy theories , saying that this is a strategy for other teams to make Kwame more valuable and let him leave the Lakers.

Kwame responded with a high profile: "Thank you, I am very grateful to those coaches who voted for me. I will always stay in Los Angeles? The earth is round, and anything can happen."
