I'm really good at shooting.

But O'Neal of the Lakers, no one thinks there's anything wrong with it.

The Lakers' opponent in the second round is the Kings.

Preston hit a whirlwind, 3 to 1 out of Utah Shuangsha, Adelman set off a new upsurge in the league.

The second round of competition will start in two days.

At this time, the league announced the ownership of the second batch of awards.

Best Defensive Player and Best Rookie.

The competition for the best defensive player this year can be described as extremely fierce.

Ben Wallace of the Pistons played the best season of his career, averaging 6.4 points, 13.2 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 2.3 blocks per game, which is simply a replica of Rodman.

Ratliff, the former 76ers block leader, averaged 12.4 points, 8.3 rebounds and 3.7 blocks per game.

Garnett averaged 22 points, 11.4 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 1.8 blocks per game.

马刺队的双塔大卫·罗宾逊和蒂姆·邓肯，前者场均14.4分8.6板2.5盖帽，后者22.2分12.2板1抢断2.3盖帽。

And, Mutombo.

穆大叔在交易截止日被送到了76人，帮助76人队成功登顶东部，他赛季也交出了10分13.5板2.7盖帽的数据。

In the end, the votes were concentrated on Mutombo, Garnett and Duncan.

Uncle Mu finally overwhelmed others and was elected the best defensive player with nearly 40% of the votes.

The result of this selection is not too surprising, after all, the performance of the 76ers this season is perfect.

Detroit fans, however, took issue with Wallace's votes, which only got 5 percent.

It can only be said that the Pistons' record this season is not satisfactory, and Wallace is not famous enough.

The result of the best defensive player is controversial, but the best rookie is no suspense.

Sun Hao got 96% of the votes!

The remaining 4%, Mike Miller took 3%, Martin took 1%...

As for Mark Jackson, who had partnered with Sun Hao in the rookie competition before and performed well, he was not selected because he did not have enough matches.

This proportion of votes is the highest after Duncan, and it is higher than that of Carter.

Sun Hao's ability to fight is one aspect, and his competitors are really not enough to fight!

The results of this selection immediately attracted cheers from domestic fans on the forum.

"Who else!!"

"I just called Krause, the general manager of the Bulls, and his phone has been turned off."

"Klaus has been shrewd all his life, and even Jordan was scheming to death, but in the end he fell into a big stumble on our Sun Hao."

"Old Nelson is the best general manager!"

"Actually, we should be grateful to Klaus. If it weren't for him, Sun Hao wouldn't have met Old Nelson, and wouldn't have had so many performance opportunities!"

"Well, we love Barkley! We love Klaus too! (ω)"

"I'm really looking forward to Sun Hao's next appearance ceremony. The 2001 NBA All-Star, the 2001 Rookie of the Year, there are really not many rookies who use these two prefixes in their first year!"

"It's so cool to fly, the strongest No. 24 show!"

……

Just like the Rookie of the Month that Sun Hao received before, the season rewards can also be collected from the league or awarded on the spot.

Like Dikembe Mutombo, because the opponents of the 76ers in the next round have not yet been determined, he went to the New York headquarters to collect it himself.

Uncle Mu, whose official age is 35 years old, is the fourth best defensive player in his career, which makes him happy just thinking about it.

Sun Hao didn't go to New York, but he was only one day late in accepting the award.

In the last game of the regular season before, in order to avoid the Blazers in the first round, the Mavericks and the Spurs staged a game of mutual acting.

In the end, the Spurs performed even better and successfully grabbed a favorable position for themselves in the first round.

But Popovich counted all the tricks, but he didn't count that the Mavericks actually killed the Trail Blazers.

Now it's the second round, because of that game, the Mavericks have home court advantage!

Sure enough, nothing can only be looked at for a while, it has to be looked back!

"Sima Weiqi."

The new nickname given to Popovich by domestic fans on the forum quickly became popular.

The tricks are exhausted, the chess loses a move, Sima Zhongda, Popovich.

That's pretty rhyming.

And quite image.

The next night, the Mavericks sit at home, ushering in a contest with the Spurs in the second round.

Players from both sides warm up.

On one side is the second-best team in the West that swept the Suns and easily advanced, and on the other side is the second-best team in the West that killed the second-best team in the West last year.

Such a matchup is full of expectations.

However, before the start of the game, the best rookie award ceremony was held on the spot.

League president David Stern came to the scene and handed the best rookie trophy to Sun Hao.

"congratulations."

This is the second time Stern has faced Sun Hao face to face.

The last time was during the draft.

Compared with the last time, Stern looked at Sun Hao with visibly brighter eyes.

Last time he only saw the possibility from Sun Hao, but this time, that possibility has become a reality.

As Sun Hao's performance in the NBA is getting better and better, the door of the Chinese market has been quickly opened to the NBA.

This is why he privately encouraged teams to actively go to China to recruit players.

Sun Hao has already achieved success, and if Bao Qi is not complete, the next Chinese player will succeed again.

When there are more NBA Chinese teams and the market is fully opened, China will undoubtedly become the NBA's largest overseas market based on the number of fans.

Sun Hao took the trophy from Stern and thanked him.

Unlike the Rookie of the Month trophy that was received before, the Rookie of the Season trophy is a rectangular glass product with the silhouette of the logo male Jerry West printed on it.

The names of the winners are written on the wooden base.

"2000~2001 Rookie of the Year, Sun Hao, Dallas Mavericks."

Sun Hao put the trophy on the table aside, and started his acceptance speech after the cheers of the fans fell.

From his parents to the team management, from the coaching staff to his teammates, Sun Hao thanked everyone he could thank.

This speech has his personal style, but at the end of the speech, he said something that many people did not understand.

"Michael, I did it, it's up to you next."

This is a sentence that has no beginning and no end, and Sun Hao said it to the camera.

It felt as if he was speaking to someone who wasn't there.

And Michael?

This is the first reaction of people, isn't it the god of basketball, Black Jesus!

The bet between Sun Hao and Jordan was not made public, and all the fans couldn't figure out what it meant.

But thousands of miles away, in the suburbs of Chicago, Jordan, who was resting in the manor, sneezed violently.

The weather is a bit cold.

Chapter 177 "Best Rookie" Halo!

After the awards ceremony, Sun Hao returned to the bench with the trophy.

At this moment, a system prompt sounded in his mind.

"Because the host won the NBA's 'Best Rookie' of the year, it will receive the 'Best Rookie' halo bonus, with various attributes +2%, lasting for one season."

There is still a halo for winning the best rookie?

This tip came unexpectedly.

Because there is no such thing in 2K!

But it seems... this is not the real 2K system, but the Great Demon King system.

And this halo is a bit powerful!

The 2% attribute increase is not much. For example, the attribute of the three-pointer is less than 2 points, and the pass is even only 1 point.

But the problem is the addition of all attributes, this improvement is still very obvious.

More importantly, those last few words lasted for one season!

This is very powerful.

This means that from the beginning of this game to this time next year, he will always enjoy this bonus!

Then it will not only affect the current round of the series, but Sun Hao's performance throughout the next year.

This is really a "super" level surprise.

Even thinking about it further, if there are other honors next season, will there be similar bonuses?

It is no exaggeration to say that this is a burst of stimulants, which makes Sun Hao's mental state extremely excited.

come on!

Let's take the Spurs to try his big knife extended to 41 centimeters!

After the on-site warm-up, the reporter interviewed Popovich on the sidelines.

"What kind of opponent do you think the Mavericks are?"

"They're doing great, they're probably the best offensive team in the league."

The reporter's question was very common, but Popovich's answer was surprising.

Is this still the old Popovich?

You didn't say that during the regular season!

In the regular season, you can say that the Spurs are the Lions and the Mavericks are the Antelopes!

Why did you change your mind so quickly?

"What do you think of old Nelson?"

The reporter couldn't believe it, and then asked again.

"Nelson Sr. is one of the best head coaches I've ever seen. He's been in this league for a long time. His tactics lead the way."

The reporter wanted to give himself a slap in the face to make sure if he hadn't woken up or had time-traveled.

But Popovich couldn't be wrong with that face.

Although he said this with a straight face.

It's really... the sun is out in the west.

After the interview over there, the scene quickly entered the opening ceremony, and the starting lineups of the two teams were released one after another.

On the Spurs side, Terry Porter and Chris Anderson on the outside, Daniels on the small forward, Duncan and Robinson on the inside.

This lineup has changed compared to the regular season, and Daniels replaced veteran Sean Elliott as the starter.

In fact, the three outsiders of the Spurs are also the three with the highest outside shooting percentage of the Spurs this season.

It can be seen at a glance that the Spurs are going to play the "inside-out" tactics that Zhang Weiping often talks about.
