"Vince, there's more good news."

Carter was taken aback. He had just finished playing the Hornets. There were only 8 games left in the regular season. What good news could there be?

Calipari's heart was agitated. He had never seen such a strong rookie player.In his first season, he was able to lead the team to win 20 more games, from a team that was almost at the bottom to a team in the playoffs, and it may also hit the top half.

"In your rookie season, you won the League Player of the Week twice, congratulations!" Calipari congratulated Carter with a smile.

Carter has won the league player of the week once before, and now he has won it for the second time.In the past week, the Nets won three consecutive victories, defeating the Bulls, Timberwolves and Hornets respectively. All three are playoff teams, and one of them is the team with the best record in the league.

Stronger than Michael Jordan, in his rookie season, he only won Player of the Week once.The best player of the week this year is still the best player of the week in the league, which is rich in gold. By the beginning of the 1-01 season, there will be two best players of the week, one for the east and the west.

Carter smiled slightly, "I thought there was some good news. This is the credit of the whole team. Especially the coach, you lead well, the team is cohesive, and we will achieve better results in the playoffs."

Wear a high hat when meeting people.

Calipari is in a great mood. Players like Carter are the embryos of top players. They have bodies, skills, and brains.Many NBA players are world-class from the neck down, with a lot of flexibility and skills, but not many have become famous.

"Hey, if we end this season according to the current ranking, we have exceeded the expectations of the management and fans." Calipari thought for a while, "If we play against the Hawks, we don't have any advantage inside, but outside you are the explosive point, the series The outcome of the match is still a matter of two opinions.”

Facing a strong inside team, the Nets have no advantage.The internal strength is not top-notch, and Rasheed Wallace is not perfect, and he is still in his rookie period!Although Jason Williams has returned to normal, his overall strength is insufficient and he can make contributions on the defensive end.

Williams will be better next season. Without him, many players will receive high salaries due to the salary reform next season.It just so happens that Williams is also in his contract year, so he will definitely have to work hard to improve his statistics and win a big contract.

"The Eagles' perimeter defense is very good. They can win more than 50 games, and they are not easy to deal with." Carter is also very calm. Mutombo is basically locked in this season. Cooperating with other players, the combat power is very strong.

"I need to give my all and my teammates need to play well."

The Eagles outside Mookie Blaylock is a master of steals, and neither Cassell nor Kendall Gill will benefit from him.

Calipari nodded, "Should we compete for the top half of the rankings?"

"The team is already very tired, and I am also very tired. The last few games let me adjust to the best condition." Carter is more experienced than Calipari. He does not want to fight for a few victories, and then get injured and miss the playoffs .

It's better to play more relaxed when the ranking is locked, let the players with minor injuries take care of their bodies, adjust the state of the team, and prepare for the playoffs with all their strength.

"I see." Calipari's eyes showed a sly light.

Then before the game against the Clippers, Calipari directly announced, "The team will compete for victory in the last few games, and we want to get a better playoff ranking, which is very important for the playoff journey. "

"Vince Carter is the leader of the team, he only has minor injuries, he will not adjust the rest, he will continue to lead the team. Everyone is fighting for the playoffs."

Unfortunately, the Nets lost the game.Give the Los Angeles Clippers a win.

After the game, Calipari continued to be stubborn. The team just wanted a better ranking and wanted to get home court advantage in the playoffs.

The Eagles listened, and that was enough. They also decided to fight hard in the last few games to stabilize their playoff ranking.Currently ranked fourth, the number of victories has not been locked, and we have to fight with all our strength.

Iverson saw that Carter won the best of the week again, and asked the team's head coach Davis that he should bomb with all his strength and give him all offensive opportunities.

接下去的5场比赛，艾弗森连续拿到40+，创造个人记录。新秀赛季，唯独他连续5场拿到40+。卡特本赛季只有连续4场40+。

"Iverson set a record, a beautiful record." Although he failed to win many games, Iverson became the fourth player after Chamberlain, Elgin Baylor and Jordan to set 5 consecutive 40+ games.

"The Philadelphia 76ers still want to win the No. 76 pick. If Tim Duncan can cooperate with Iverson, the [-]ers will definitely become one of the best teams in the league. After they mature, they are fully capable of competing for the championship."

After 5 consecutive 40+ games, Allen Iverson also became the league's best player of the week, his first time.Without him, the data is too eye-catching.

"I won't lose to Carter. Even if I don't win the Rookie of the Year, I will become the strongest player." Iverson was very unconvinced.

This season, Carter relied on his strong adaptability to shine at the beginning of the season, leading the team to consecutive victories and entering the playoffs.He has been occupying the honor of Rookie of the Month, embarrassing the No. [-] pick Iverson.

If it weren't for Carter's sudden birth, Iverson's statistics and personal performance would definitely be the best among rookies.

"Next season, or the next season, I will definitely blow up everyone." Kobe Bryant competed with himself on the training ground.Watching Carter and Iverson shine in the league, he can't hold back anymore, and he also wants to be the focus.

Ray Allen is doing three-point shooting training, and his status in the team is not high. "Big Dog" Robinson and Vin Baker are the core players of the team, and he is not yet considered.

Marbury secretly counted the team's record, it's not bad, and he can still make it to the playoffs, and his average assists per game is close to 8, so he can't be the leader of the team, at least become the team's assist leader.

Many media such as TNT and ESPN have already begun to summarize the season.

This season has been exciting, and the regular season has come to an end.

The team with the best record, the Chicago Bulls, won 72 games after their 69 wins last season. There is no team in the league that can challenge the Bulls. They are so strong that they have no friends.

The second-ranked team in the Eastern Conference is the Miami Heat, with only 59 victories, which is far behind.Of course, if the Heat didn't lose to the Nets, they would also be a 60-win team.

The team with the best record in the Western Conference is the Utah Jazz with 64 victories, and No. 2 is the Rockets with only 56 victories.

The Rockets' 56 victories can only rank fourth in the East, behind the Bulls, Heat and New York Knicks.Of course, the Seattle SuperSonics in the West also have 56 victories, ranking third in the West because of their relationship with the Rockets.The Los Angeles Lakers ranked fourth in the Western Conference, and O'Neal led the team to 55 victories.

Then came the Trail Blazers, Timberwolves, Suns and Clippers. The Clippers only won 38 games, but entered the playoffs.The Warriors have a strong lineup, suffered injuries in the second half of the season, and missed the playoffs.

The other teams in the Eastern Conference that have entered the playoffs are the Charlotte Hornets, Detroit Pistons and Orlando Magic. The Magic still have 45 wins and almost cannot enter the playoffs.

The Washington Bullets and Cleveland Cavaliers won 43 and 42 games respectively, but failed to enter the playoffs...

According to the rules, the Eastern Conference team lineup is released.The Bulls faced off against the Magic, Jordan faced off against the "Jordan successor"; the Heat faced off against the Pistons, the Knicks faced off against the Hornets, and the Hawks faced off against the Nets.

In the end, the Nets only won 52 games. Because of the outcome, they ranked ahead of the Hornets, and the Hornets led the Pistons by half a game.Of course, even if the Hornets are behind the Pistons, the Pistons will be behind the Nets.Among the three teams, the Nets have an advantage in terms of winning and losing.During the regular season, Carter not only played beautiful data, but also won the competition against his direct competitors.

A team with equal drums, winning, will show its benefits at this moment.

The Nets have entered the playoff preparation stage in the last few games. They lost both games against the Hawks. It seems that they are not as good as the Hawks in terms of strength.

The whole Eagles team was very happy, "Facing the Nets, the team will have enough advantages."

Mutombo couldn't help announcing to the media, "The team beat the Nets in a row, full of confidence, and we will win the playoffs. Of course, Vince Carter is a super player, and I will try my best to guard the penalty area."

Speaking of this, Uncle Tong shook his finger.

The meaning is obvious. As long as Carter dares to get inside, he will block shots and then perform his signature moves.In the league, only Tongbo will not be called a technical foul for wagging his finger. This is his exclusive action.

Oh, and Jordan, when facing Bob, he blocked his opponent and used Bob's finger-wagging trick to counterattack Bob, and he was not called a technical foul.

Jordan was very happy when he saw the matchup in the playoffs, "Hey, after the first round, we might meet Vince in the second round. I'm going to lock this guy down in the playoffs."

"They won't get a win, I want to sweep the Nets." Jordan added.

"Then we have to pray that the Hawks lose to the Nets?" Rodman pretended, "I feel that the Hawks' interior defense is still somewhat useful."

"In the last few games of the regular season, the Nets are adjusting. Their strength is not weaker than the Hawks, and the outcome is still [-]-[-]." Pippen saw the problem, he took a shower and was ready to go home, "Guys, I'm going on a date with Larsa, you guys enjoy your life."

"Damn!" Jordan gave a blank look. The playoffs are almost here, so don't rush to prepare.

Jordan's goal this season is still the championship.

Teams entering the playoffs cannot compete for the No. [-] pick.

Because Tim Duncan was going to participate in the draft, it triggered a frenzy for many teams. Several teams had particularly rubbish records and almost lost all.

The Celtics are the most eye-catching. They have won 10 games and are happy to be the vice president of the league.

The Philadelphia 76ers and Toronto Raptors in the East only won the first game in their 20s, and they are also very likely to win the No. [-] pick.

In the Western Conference, the team with the worst record is not all "injured". The Spurs are struggling with their veterans. The Vancouver Grizzlies are proud to be the deputy captain of the Western Conference with 14 wins. Rahim is eager to get strong helpers.

The Spurs' poor performance is relatively high-grade, and their injuries are quite serious. The logical garbage record is not so eye-catching, but there is still a high probability of winning the No. [-] lottery.

Then came the Denver Nuggets and Dallas Mavericks, who also joined the poor lineup and got a record in their early 20s.

It's a pity that it's not as shameless as the Celtics, and the probability of getting the No. [-] pick is not high.

"The polarization is serious, the strong teams are very strong, and the weak teams are very weak. There may be changes next season." The TNT analyst commented, "Because this season, many teams are eager to get Tim Duncan, a phenomenal player. .”

"That's for sure. Look at Carter, who is at the same university as Duncan. He has become a hot star in the league. Tim Duncan may be stronger than Carter. He is also an inside player, with greater influence on the team and more obvious support. .”

"When Vince Carter was in college, he was the MOP of the Final Four and led Wake Forest University to win the first NCAA championship in team history. If it weren't for Carter, Duncan's college life would not be complete!"

Tim Duncan is watching TV, and he doesn't know which team will get the No. [-] pick.Called Carter, Carter didn't answer.

The lottery is being played on TV.The highest probability is naturally the Celtics, then the Vancouver Grizzlies, and then the Spurs, Nuggets and 76ers.

"If you go to the Celtics, it seems good, at least Boston is not far from New York. The other teams are all in the West..." Sister Duncan accompanied her brother to watch TV, teasing, "With Amy, it seems Won't you help me with Kat?"

"Huh? Carter? Who's that guy?" Duncan played dumb. "Oh, I called him just now. He seems to be on a date."

Secretly advised my sister to stop thinking about Big Nose Carter and enjoy life when she should.

Stern was full of smiles, and the result of the draw came out.

The San Antonio Spurs won the No. [-] pick... Popovich looked excited, saved, and his coaching career was saved.David Robinson is thrilled that next season, the Spurs will be a top team again.

The Philadelphia 76ers got the second pick.

The Celtics, the craziest team, only got the third pick. They didn't even prepare for the third pick. Cardinal Auerbach was hopeless and prepared to retire completely. He didn't want to work anymore. Duncan, who had been thinking about him for many years, still couldn't wear it. Get the green jersey.

The fourth pick went to the Vancouver Grizzlies, and the fifth pick went to the Nuggets.

Auburndale High School, a sleepy high school student stared at the draft lottery and thought to himself, "I wonder if I can be on the same team as Cousin Vince?"

The Nets have already traded their first-round pick. This season, there is only one second-round pick, which is in the 40th pick, which is useless.

Before the lottery, all the awards for this season have already been announced.

The scoring leader is still Michael Jordan. To everyone's surprise, Vince Carter ranks second in the scoring list, averaging 28.2 points per game, higher than Karl Malone and Glenn Rice, and is also the most eye-catching rookie. data.The leader in blocks and rebounds is Mutombo, who is at his peak.

The steal leader also belongs to the Eagles, Mookie Blaylock, averaging 2.7 steals per game, and Kendall Gill entering the steals list, averaging 2 steals per game, tied for tenth.

The assist king is Mark Jackson, with an average of 11.4 assists per game. Cassell ranks eighth in the assist list, one term lower than Marbury.

There is no doubt that the Rookie of the Year is Vince Carter.

No. 7 pick, best play.
