NBA: The man who passed the ball to Yao Ming

The first bone of contention was Yao Ming.

In the MVP list announced by the NBA, Steve Nash from the Sun ranked first, followed by LeBron James of the Cavaliers, Nowitzki of the Mavericks, Kobe of the Lakers and Lupus of the Pistons.

And Yao Ming, who was named the best player of the week in the Western Conference and led the Rockets to six consecutive victories, was only ranked sixth.

Drexler could not accept Yao Ming's ranking so low.

However, the other three guests seemed to think that there was no problem with this ranking.

In their view, the best of the week is different from the MVP list. In addition to considering the player's personal performance, it is also necessary to combine the player's help to the team and the degree of indispensability in the team.

After all, beside Yao Ming, Tracy McGrady and Zhang Jinshui are still standing. These two people also contributed a lot to the Rockets' six-game winning streak.

Reggie Miller gave an example, without Yao Ming, the Rockets with McGrady and Zhang Jinshui are still competitive.

But without Nash and Jr. James, the Suns and Cavaliers will immediately transform from a top team in the league to a mid-range team with only half of their combat power left.

However, the debate among the four guests about Yao Ming's ranking was not intense. What made them have a huge disagreement was that Zhang Jinshui appeared on the MVP list with only 30 places along with McGrady.

麦迪虽然缺席了2场比赛，但他曾经在和魔术队的比赛中3节爆砍46分，且在其他场次中也能稳定地贡献25+5+5的数据，在榜单中排名第21位勉强还能接受。

However, as a rookie who has only played 6 games, Zhang Jinshui is also ranked 30th on this list, which makes Reggie Miller and Drexler very upset.

In the eyes of some older NBA players, the MVP list is a very sacred place, and everyone, including NBA officials, should be in awe of this list.

The two legendary NBA superstars said strongly that Zhang Jinshui played an amazing performance higher than his actual ability because he stood beside Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady.

It was Yao Ming and McGrady who made Zhang Jinshui better, not Zhang Jinshui who made Yao Mai better, so he definitely doesn't deserve this list.

Kenny Smith and Big Mouth Barkley stated clearly that Zhang Jinshui won the player of the game against the Heat and the Celtics, which has proved that he is not just a role player next to Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady. .

Moreover, Zhang Jinshui also completed the lore in the game against the Heat, which fully proved his important position in the Rockets' tactical system.

The debate between the two sides is very intense.

However, Rahm, the SB host who had a tendency early in the morning, often used questions to guide Reggie Miller and Drexler to speak, leaving the "first water blow" and "second water blow" aside.

Gradually, Zhang Jinshui couldn't stand it anymore.

Some of the arguments against him on the show, especially Reggie Miller's, were hilarious.

Since Reggie Miller has always emphasized that Zhang Jinshui became better because of Yao Ming's existence, why does he think it is reasonable for Yao Ming to be ranked sixth in the MVP list?Shouldn't Yao Ming's MVP ranking be higher?

Zhang Jinshui curled his lips. In the final analysis, he was just negating for the sake of negating.

He turned off the small TV, closed his eyes and leaned back on his seat.

But what Zhang Jinshui never expected was that his entry into this MVP list not only aroused fierce debate in the studio of SB TV, but also caused a lot of controversy in the entire NBA.

The rookies who have entered the MVP list after only playing 6 regular season games are among the few in the history of the NBA for decades.

Many media experts believe that Zhang Jinshui's help to the Rockets in the first six games deserves to be included in this list.

But more media experts believe that Zhang Jinshui, who stands beside Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady, is overrated, and he will soon show his true colors in the next game.

Because of Zhang Jinshui, the Rockets, which were already eye-catching this season, have received more attention and discussion, and have become the hottest team in the entire league.

At 12:15 noon, when the Rockets' special plane landed at the Minnesota Airport on time, and the Rockets players came out of the pick-up hall with their luggage carts, there were already more than a dozen media reporters waiting there.

They surrounded Van Gundy, McGrady and Zhang Jinshui respectively.

"Coach Van Gundy, Zhang Jinshui's entry into the league's official MVP list has caused an uproar in public opinion. What do you think of this?"

"He deserves his name! Zhang Jinshui's contribution to the Rockets on the court is obvious to all."

......

"McGrady, many people say that your teammate Zhang Jinshui is not worthy of appearing on the MVP list. What do you think about this?"

McGrady brought Alston and Luther Hydra, who were passing by, to his side, and asked, "Did Zhang Jinshui make our team better?"

"Yes! He definitely deserves to be on the MVP list."

Alston and Luther Head yelled into the camera.

......

"Zhang Jinshui, now many football critics and experts say that you will soon show your true colors in the next game and withdraw from the MVP list. What do you think of this?"

The reporter's question was very disrespectful, but Zhang Jinshui's face showed no emotion,

After some training by Zi Chunlin, he has gradually learned the correct way to open up to the media, and said with a deadpan expression: "I'm afraid I'm going to let them down."

Then, he stopped being interviewed by other media, and got on the bus with the Rockets team.

Along the way, McGrady and other team members stepped forward to give Zhang Jinshui high fives to express their support for him.

Because the Rockets just finished the game last night, and today they took a special plane early in the morning to rush to Minnesota, and their physical strength has not yet fully recovered.

Van Gundy gave the afternoon to the players to continue to rest, and only temporarily arranged 2 hours of training in the morning of the next day.

After all, the game against the Timberwolves will be the Rockets' first battle without Yao Ming this season, and the running tactics that many players are familiar with will not be able to use.

Van Gundy needs to get the players together, while making adjustments to the starting lineup, he also takes some time to familiarize the players with the new running tactics.

The next morning, at a local high school gym, Van Gundy first announced his starting lineup for the Timberwolves.

Alstom will start the game, and Zhang Jinshui is put back on the bench.

In order to ensure the vitality of the bench lineup, Van Gundy finally replaced Yao Ming with Mutombo, leaving Swift on the bench.

Then, Van Gundy arranged for the starters and substitutes to start transitioning and familiarizing themselves with the new running positions.

Without Yao Ming on the court, Zhang Jinshui was the most affected. Many of his three-point shots and opportunities to break through the ball are due to Yao Ming's deterrence in the interior.

However, Zhang Jinshui will not lose confidence because of this. After all, his arsenal has been strengthened recently.

On the contrary, those media experts who themselves despise Zhang Jinshui are waiting eagerly for Zhang Jinshui without Yao Ming to show his true colors in this game.
