I'm really good at shooting.

This can be seen from the match records of the two teams after the season.

Throughout the regular season, the two teams won 4 games in 2 games, but the Spurs scored more points.

This is also the reason why in the final regular season rankings, the two teams have the same record, but the Spurs are second and the Mavericks are third.

Playing the Lakers, or even trying to win the championship, is a later thing. What they have to do now is to defeat this opponent who defeated them last season.

Otherwise, they would be double-killed by the Spurs, let alone them, just old Nelson.

If Popovich sends another "Your way really can't win the championship", then the old Nelson probably won't have the confidence to continue coaching the Mavericks.

So, just like what old Nelson said before the game, in the series against the Spurs, you can only win but not lose!

This is as important as winning a championship!

This is what they have to do, but it is not easy.

Inside and outside tactics, the simplest and most difficult to defend.

Because your biggest headache is the super insider.

The Lakers have O'Neal, and the Spurs have Duncan.

But it's an opportunity for the Mavericks.

The wheel inside line they prepared for O'Neal will have to try it on Duncan first.

In the second round of the playoffs, the system changed from a 5-game 3-win system to a 7-game 4-win system.

The Spurs have home court advantage in this round of the series, and the game will start in San Antonio first.

The day before the game, the entire Mavs headed to San Antonio.

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

Best Defensive Player, and Best Rookie.

Detroit fans were still angry that Ben Wallace was not selected as the best player last year, but this year, they will no longer have that kind of trouble.

They even raised their eyebrows and elated.

Because Ben Wallace won a record percentage of votes in NBA history in the voting for the best defensive player this year.

He got nearly all the votes and was elected with 96.67% of the vote!

In other words, the remaining Mutombo, Garnett and others together have less than 4% of the votes.

This is not a hang-up, it simply kills all suspense.

"We're seeing a new Rodman, and it's interesting that they both started their careers in Detroit."

The comments from fans on social media are interesting.

In contrast, the competition for the best rookie is much fiercer.

In this class of rookies, 6 players averaged double-digit points per game.

Yao Ming, Gasol, Jason Richardson, Battier, Arenas, and Kwame Brown.

After the Houston team sent Mobley away, they fed the ball to the Twin Towers desperately.

The results proved one thing, the Houston team is unhappy and mindless twin-tower combination, mindless proved to be limited in talent, but not happy, the data came out.

Brown averaged 12.2 points, 7.4 rebounds and 0.7 blocks per game.

Although this data is not outstanding in the No. [-] show, at least it can be seen.

Of course, that performance didn't earn him much in the Rookie of the Year voting.

The votes for the best rookie are mainly concentrated in the hands of two players.

Yao Ming, and Pau Gasol.

In fact, in the past season, because they were in the same Eastern Conference, their competition for the best rookie of the month was extremely fierce.

Yao Ming won the Rookie of the Month in the Eastern Conference for a total of 11, 12, 2, and 3 months.

Gasol took the rest of January and April.

In terms of the number of Rookies of the Month, Yao Ming has the advantage.

在场均数据上，姚明场均15.4分10.2板1.7盖帽，也要好过加索尔的14.2分7.7板2.6助攻。

However, Gasol's team status and shooting rights in the Celtics are not as good as Yao Ming, and the Celtics' record in the Eastern Conference is better than that of the Wizards in the Eastern Conference.

So this suspense was only revealed at the last moment.

The final voting results showed that Yao Ming got 48.36% of the votes and Gasol got 39.65%.

With an advantage of nearly 10% of the votes, Yao Ming beat Gasol and became the best rookie in the NBA in the 2001~2002 season!

And this result also means that the NBA's best rookie has been picked up by Chinese players for two consecutive years!

Another historic moment.

Sun Hao didn't see the news until he arrived in San Antonio.

He called Yao Ming immediately and congratulated him.

To Sun Hao's surprise, Yao Ming himself didn't know.

This became what he informed Yao Ming.

However, it can also be seen that Yao Ming's attention is now on the Wizards' playoffs.

Yao Ming was very happy when he heard the news, and at the end of the phone call, he said something like this to Sun Hao.

"See you in the finals if possible."

ps: Life has to go on, thank you for your encouragement

Chapter 243 Mamba Possession, Killing One Person in Five Steps

See you in the finals if possible!

After hanging up the phone, Sun Hao was also thinking about this sentence.

After Yao Ming won the Rookie of the Year award, he also began to look forward to the championship!

However, compared with Sun Hao, Yao Ming has a better chance of entering the finals.

The current opponent of the Wizards is the Nets.

Although the Nets in history reached the finals this year, it has something to do with their opponents.

That year, the Nets' opponent in the Eastern Conference Finals was the Celtics without Carlisle or Gasol.

Then, they were swept 4-0 by the Lakers in the Finals.

When fans choose the most disparate or worst team in the finals, the Cavaliers team led by James in the 06-07 season is always mentioned repeatedly.

But in fact, this year's Nets are also very different.

Once across the Nets, the Wizards' opponent is the Celtics or Pistons.

Both are newly emerging teams, and they are obviously not at the same level as the Lakers, Kings, and Spurs.

However, Yao Ming has said so, and he has to work hard.

Although his side is very difficult, people always have dreams!

Just like the big goal they set before playing the Timberwolves, they have completed the small goal of entering the Western Conference semifinals, and then, it is the new small goal of revenge for the Spurs!

"Remember what I said at the beginning of the season?"

As soon as the team arrived in San Antonio, Nelson Sr. organized team training.

And before the training started, he rarely started the pre-match mobilization in advance.

"I said, no matter how you play other teams, you must fight to the death when you see the Spurs!"

"What they did to us in the playoffs last season, stepping, hurting people, kicking us out of the playoffs, but now, God gave us a second chance."

"Beat 'em, beat 'em, beat the shit out of 'em, tell 'em we're a better team than them!"

I have to say that Old Nelson's violent temper is really suitable for speeches.

In a few words, Sun Hao felt that his adrenaline was a little bursting.

Old Nelson would have been an excellent Chicken Soup coach if he wanted to, but it doesn't have to be.

After this bowl of thick chicken soup, the Mavericks' morale was high during training.

With that kind of excitement, Sun Hao felt that the Spurs would definitely be surprised tonight.

Game day the next day, 6pm.

There is still an hour to start the game, and the players are making final preparations in the locker room.

Sun Hao put on his Adidas.Sun.hao exclusive boots.

Compared with the Adidas shoes he wore before, these shoes are obviously much more comfortable.

The cards of the signature sneakers are indeed different.

In the locker room, everyone else made their own moves.

Nash brought Thomas' jersey to the locker room and hung it there.

Nash even said a prayer over it.

There is also Nowitzki, who rubs his feet more frequently than usual.

Excitement is excitement, but everyone looks a little nervous.

Looking around, Sabonis should be the calmest of all.

"Annie?"

At this moment, Sun Hao heard Wang Zhizhi's voice.

He turned his head, and then saw an unlikely person at the door of the locker room.

Anne, daughter of Nelson Jr.

Little Nelson stood behind Annie with a distressed expression on his face.

In theory, Annie couldn't go out, let alone come to San Antonio.

Both Sun Hao and Wang Zhizhi got up and went over immediately, and the others also stood up one after another.

Not everyone has seen Anne, but they have all heard about Little Nelson's daughter.

Their expressions of surprise were no less than Sun Hao's.

Annie and Wang Zhizhi and Sun Hao are very familiar, so they came over to give them a hug, and then greeted others one after another.

Although she looks bad-faced, she is a very cheerful girl in her bones.

At this time, Sun Hao chatted with Little Nelson.

"She insisted on coming, but I couldn't stop her. I consulted a doctor and did all the protection I could."

Little Nelson's words made people feel distressed.

"She won't go to the scene?"

Sun Hao felt that it would definitely not work for Annie to go to the scene, especially if it was an away game.

"She will watch the live broadcast in the projection room, and I have communicated with the arena."

Sun Hao nodded after listening.

"Sun, come on."

The game is about to start, and the team members are ready to set off. Before the start, Annie made a cheering gesture to Sun Hao.

Sun Hao successively gave her many DVDs and books, all of which are very important to her.

Sun Hao stretched out his hand and returned a cheering gesture to her.

He could actually understand why Anne came to watch the game.

People live, not just to live.
