Chapter 82 The Uncomfortable Best Team

After the Heat returned to Miami, their opponents in the next round quickly became clear.

The 76ers never gave the Hornets any more chances. This season's steals leader Eddie Jones is no match for Allen Iverson. The role of stars is even greater in the playoffs than in the regular season.

Except for the four games between these two teams, the other games in the East were as crisp as the Heat. The Pacers defeated the Pistons 3:0, and the Knicks did not give the Raptors any chance.

On the west side, it was much more entangled. Obviously the situation in the first two games was exactly the same, but after those strong teams went to the away game, their performance was surprising.

The most uncertain game between the Spurs and the Suns came out first. The Suns won the Western Conference championship last season without Duncan 3:1, and Kidd also returned in the last game.

Next, the Trail Blazers ended the Timberwolves' playoff journey 3:1. Garnett seemed a little powerless facing the Trail Blazers inside.

The duel between these four teams seems normal. What is abnormal is the Lakers with the best record this season and the Jazz, the second in the Western Conference. .

The Supersonic team had a problem because Rashad Lewis, a player in the same class as Zhang Chen, caught the Jazz by surprise. In the last game, if it wasn’t for Jazz veteran Hornacek’s key three-pointer, they would have It is possible to be given to Black Seven by the Supersonics.

However, the Lakers lost two games in a row, but it was their own death. In the away game, there was a problem with the offensive power, so O'Neal turned on the invincible mode in the last game, and directly made the Kings cry inside, and won the last game by a big score. Bureau.

While the first round of playoffs was going on, various awards for this season were also announced.

Of course, the honors in statistics have come out a long time ago. For example, Mourning won the block leader for a second time, Eddie Jones of the Charlotte Hornets for steals, Mutombo of the Atlanta Hawks for rebounds, and Mutombo for assists. Jason Kidd of the Phoenix Suns, and the heaviest scorer is naturally O'Neal of the Los Angeles Lakers. Moreover, this guy's scoring in the playoffs is even more fierce than in the regular season.

With his outstanding personal performance and team record, O'Neal also won the title of the most valuable player in the regular season. When the previous generation of centers got old, he was basically invincible inside.

And the best defensive player was also reelected by Mourning. Now the center of the league has a tendency of East Mourning and West Sharks. Among the teams in the league, the Heat and the Lakers are also regarded as having both inside and outside. The two most powerful teams that can attack and defend.

Rookie of the Year is shared by Elton Brand of the Chicago Bulls and Steve Francis of the Houston Rockets.

The best sixth man is Rodney Rodgers of the Phoenix Suns, and the most improved player is Jaylen Rose of the Indiana Pacers. It is precisely because of the help that Reggie Miller has less pressure A lot, and the Pacers are stronger than they were last season.

The best coach was given to Doug Reeves of the Magic, who traded away the boss and almost brought the rebuilding team into the playoffs. This new coach's coaching skills are evident.

However, it is the best team that many NBA stars pay attention to. There are few other awards.

Best First Team, Guards: Jason Kidd, Gary Payton, Forwards: Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan, Center: Shaquille O'Neal.

Best Second Team, guards: Kobe Bryant, Allen Iverson, forwards: Grant Hill, Karl Malone, center: Alonzo Mourning.

The best third team, guards: Stephen Marbury, Zhang Chen, forwards: Vince Carter, Chris Webber, center: David Robinson.

All-Defensive First Team, Gary Payton, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan, Alonzo Mourning.

Best Defensive Second Team, Jason Kidd, Eddie Jones, Scottie Pippen, Clifford Robinson, Shaquille O'Neal.

All-Rookie Team, Andre Miller, Steve Francis, Wally Szczerbiak, Lamar Odom, Elton Brand.

Best rookie second team, Jason - Terry, Chucky - Atkins, Ron - Artest, James - Posey, Sean - Marion.

For the best rookie team, it has nothing to do with Zhang Chen. As for the best team, he really thinks his position can go up a bit. Well, he is not the leader of the team, and it’s okay to only enter the third team. Then the best defense As for the lineup, his defense is also the top outside line in the league. Because he doesn't have any special statistics, he can't even make it to the second team. It's too ridiculous.

Kobe, whose statistics are similar to his, is defensive for a while. Even if the Lakers record is better, they are the second best team in the league. It is really bullying.

He was very dissatisfied with this, and when he was interviewed by reporters, he said very displeasedly: "I'm not in the best defensive team, are they blind? And the best first team is all Western Conference players. players, it's just nonsense."

"Yes, any team they belong to will be a loser when they encounter our Heat. With the Heat in the East, it cannot be said that the West is strong and the East is weak."

Zhang Chen's words stirred up thousands of waves, he was a map gun, and he was looking for scolding.

Therefore, including players, coaches and other NBA-related personnel, many people criticized and despised his arrogance. Many people said, are the Heat strong? Didn't they win the Heat?

This is actually very normal, the key is that there are still a group of supporters who were not selected, and those who thought they were not worse than the players on the list complained about the unfairness of the selection.

This time, it was a mess. David Stern saw that it was okay. Could it be that these guys wanted to rebel? Zhang Chen, who was the first to say such remarks, received another ticket.

In front of Zhang Xiaomeng, he acted calmly, saying that nothing happened.

But in the system space, he was immediately depressed. Although he knew that there were various reasons for this kind of thing, and he didn't deliberately target him, and he also said before that he didn't care about anything other than victory, but when it happened, he was still very upset. .

Just not caring doesn't mean that you don't have to give up this honor if you reach this level. It's good to give him a defensive second team. It's a bit disappointing to think that he works so hard to defend every game, but in the end he is not recognized.

"It's up to you whether you're pretending or not. You deserve it if you just win and don't need data." At a time like this, Xiao Ye will never let go of the opportunity to add insult to injury.

But this is just her habit, not really gloating, "You should improve your status in the team. If you are the core of the team, it should be no problem to be on the list. Don't say I didn't remind you. The Heat don't have the salary space to give you a max salary right now."

"I need you to remind me that this is a choice the team should make. I'll just wait." If the Heat want to renew Zhang Chen's contract, they must give up something. This is also when many teams want to renew their rookies The choice to be made, so Zhang Chen is relatively calm, and now the key is to play well.

The pursuit of victory is absolute, but he will not sacrifice his own interests to pursue victory. He actually doesn’t care about salary when he has an investment company, but this thing is a benchmark and the respect he deserves. He doesn’t take the team’s money. It is cheap, and the team should not take advantage of him. Everyone is equal and mutually beneficial.

"Okay, but you said big things, shouldn't you draw some cards to suppress the situation?"

"Come on, all my salary has been used for the lottery. You should know how difficult it is to win the items that can be used in the playoffs."

"You are really petty. Isn't your investment company profitable? You should invest more. Otherwise, I will lend you some points."

"Cut, you'd better keep it for yourself, save me. I'm addicted to smoking and use all yours. Besides, the good things I have stored are enough now, hehe."

Chatting with Zhang Xiaomeng can gain comfort and support, chatting with Xiaoye can be unscrupulous, and uncomfortable things can be told and understood. In a lucky life, such things will soon be nothing.

During the training, the teammates also talked about the best team. As a player in the Eastern Conference, of course, he expressed support for Zhang Chen's question that there were no Eastern Conference players for a while.

However, it was Iverson, who was about to fight, who clearly supported his remarks in front of the media, "I don't know how this was selected. You can recall how Zhang and I defeated those first-team players in the All-Star Game." Yes, obviously, Zhang and I should be together for a while."

"For the next games, I will try my best to beat Zhang and prove that I am the best."

Zhang Chen also knows that defending Iverson will be much more difficult than defending Ray Allen. This is one of the people he least wants to defend. Uncomfortable, such as Grant Hill, such as Allen Iverson.

But compared to the Bucks, the magic weapon to deal with the 76ers is to stop Iverson. The 76ers, except for Iverson, are all supporting roles.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that other people are scumbags. It is impossible for one person to make it into the playoffs. In fact, they can be regarded as internal, external, and substitutes. Ferson is just too conspicuous.

How to defend against the 76ers is actually to see how effective Zhang Chen is in restricting Iverson, and then decide whether to try to limit his scoring or to separate him from the team.

In this case, Zhang Chen was of course mentally prepared.
