NBA: James wants to team up with me

Chapter 99 Selected to the All-Rookie Team

Milicic is also unlucky enough. No one knows how much his true ability is, but the Pistons' wrong use of him is definitely one of the important reasons for his downfall. They regarded a European skilled insider as Ben Wallace. , Mutombo is so black and hard to train, how can he be trained?

As the second pick of the 03 golden generation, Milicic had a dream start, but with a good hand, he played all four second belts and two kings at once.

His poor performance prevented him from being selected for the All-Rookie Team, and he was not even selected for the All-Rookie Second Team.

After the first round of the playoffs, the league began to announce awards for various events.

The first thing to be announced is the first and second team rosters for the Rookie of the Year.

There is basically no suspense about the five players selected for the best team, namely Wang Chong, James, Anthony, Wade and Bosh.

The first three are all outstanding players who averaged more than 20 points per game in the regular season. They all played at the All-Star level, and their strength has been well proven.

Although Wade is slightly behind these three in terms of statistics, his average of 16.2 points, 4 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game cannot be underestimated.

Bosh is the one with the worst results among these five.

With regular season data of 11.5 points and 7.4 rebounds, the Raptors have a record of 33 wins and 49 losses, ranking th in the Eastern Conference and the worst among the five.

The reason why he was selected to the All-Rookie Team was because he was a foil to his peers.

Except for Wang Chong and other five players, the performance of other rookies in the 03 class was actually not that good. The only player to score in double figures was Hinrich of the Bulls. He averaged 12 points and 6.8 assists per game, but he shot 38.6% from the field. The rate and the Bulls' record of being worse than the Raptors caused Hinrich to fall to the Rookie of the Year second team.

Along with him, Josh Howard, Udonis Haslem, Marquis Daniels and others were selected to the rookie second team.

In fact, in addition to a few well-known players in the second team of the 03 class, there are also many outstanding players, such as Kaman of the Clippers, David West of the Hornets, and Burris who was selected by the Hawks. Diaw and Leonardo Barbosa selected by the Spurs are all outstanding players who will create their own success in the league in the future.

But in the rookie season, because they have not fully grown up, or it may be a problem with the team's tactical status, these players have not shown enough strength, and naturally they are not capable of being selected for the selection of the best rookie team.

Fans actually don't have much interest in the selection of the best rookie team, even though this best rookie team has three players averaging 20+ points per game, which has never happened in the past league.

Not to mention three rookies who averaged 20+ points per game, even two rookies who averaged 20+ points per game were pitiful. Going back to the most recent time, it was the 92-93 season, when O'Neal and Mourning were in their rookie seasons. He scored 23.4 points, 13.9 rebounds, and 3.5 blocks respectively, and 21 points, 10.3 rebounds, and 3.5 blocks respectively. O'Neal won the Rookie of the Year that year with even better data.

Moving forward, it's Jordan and Olajuwon in the 84-85 season.

奥拉朱旺场均20.6分11.9篮板2.7封盖，乔丹场均28.2分6.5篮板5.9助攻。

Jordan, who had the strongest rookie performance since the NBA merger, won the Rookie of the Year award over No. 1 pick Olajuwon.

Therefore, fans have different opinions on who of the three players in the 03 class can win the honor of Rookie of the Year.

Some people think that Wang Chong will get it because his efficiency is the highest among the three, and he is also very likely to become the first rookie to win the championship in the 03 class.

<divclass="contentadv">Some people think it is Anthony. Unlike Wang Chong, he helped the Nuggets return to the playoffs without a particularly good teammate. This alone is enough to prove his excellence. place.

Of course, more fans believe that James will win the MVP of the Rookie Challenge.

Although his efficiency value is not as good as Wang Chong's, and his team performance is not as good as Anthony's, his exposure rate is great. As the chosen one, the league's traffic code, the popularity bonus alone will give him a natural advantage in the selection.

After all, the Rookie of the Year, like the regular season MVP, is voted for by sports reporters across the United States and Canada. Since it is a media vote, there is a shadow of capital involved.

James naturally has a huge advantage in this aspect.

However, the final results of the Best Rookie selection will be announced at the same time as the regular season MVP, Best Defensive Player and other awards. They will not be announced until the Eastern and Western Conference finals.

After the first round of the playoffs, only the best rookie team, best team and best defensive team were announced.

The Lakers once again gained a lot in the selection of the best team.

O'Neal and Kobe were both selected to the All-NBA First Team. This is the third consecutive year that both have been selected to the All-NBA Team, and the sixth consecutive year that both have been selected to the All-NBA Team.

In the early years, Kobe was unable to compete with Iverson and was ranked in the second team for several consecutive years. In the past two years, he has come from behind and steadily suppressed Iverson.

Including this season, although Iverson averaged 26.4 points, 3.7 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game than Kobe, the 76ers' poor record and the fact that Iverson only played 48 games due to a large number of injuries caused Iverson to Missed the chance to participate in the selection of the best team.

Lakers fans are quite looking forward to Wang Chong being selected for the best team. Even if he is only selected for one best third team, the Lakers will also have three best third team players at the same time.

But this idea is obviously unrealistic, and indeed he was not selected for the best team.

Although Wang Chong's personal statistics are not bad, averaging 20+6 per game and 50% shooting percentage, there is still a slight gap compared to the players who can be selected for the best third team.

The two strikers in the third team, Paul Pierce, averaged 25.9 points, 7.3 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game, and Jamal Mashburn averaged 21.6 points, 6 rebounds and 5.6 assists. They are both better than Wang Chong in terms of statistics, and they are both players of their respective teams. The absolute core leader is completely different from Wang Chong who is just hanging around behind the OK group.

Moreover, being selected to the All-NBA Team in his rookie season is extremely rare in the league. In the history of the league, only seven players have done so. The most recent one is Tim Duncan, who entered the league in 97.

And Duncan still hit the spot immediately. He was selected to the All-NBA First Team and the Second Team Defensively in his debut. He showed strong dominance on both ends of the offense and defense. In the second year, he went directly to the double first team and led the Spurs to win the 98-99 season championship and be crowned in the Finals. FMVP, the starting point can be said to be quite high.

By the way, Duncan was selected as an All-Star substitute in his rookie season. These are things that James, who is known as the strongest No. 1 pick, failed to do.

The difference between the two may be the pursuit of the media, capital and the league.
