Chapter 420 Yao Mai doubles for a while, Curry is praised!
Shen Fei was also very interested in these awards and checked them out as soon as they were announced.
The first to be announced is the best defensive team.
Unlike the best defensive player (also known as DPOY), which is selected by sports reporters and TV commentators, the best defensive team is selected by votes of 33 NBA coaches.
Those selected for this lineup are:
Dwight Howard (33 votes);
LeBron James (30 votes);
Paul George (25 votes);
Rajon Rondo (20 votes);
Kobe Bryant (26 votes).
Shen Fei smiled slightly after seeing it, George was indeed selected for the first defense.
Entering the first defense in the first grade, this is definitely an excellent achievement!
You know, in the original time and space, George would not be selected for the first defensive lineup until the 13-14 season, that is, three years later.
"I'm pretty lucky. If I remember correctly, Garnett was originally on the first defense this year."
Shen Fei murmured.
If Garnett can stay healthy, it will be extremely difficult for George to replace him on the first defense.
All we can say is that this year’s Rockets team is indeed their destiny!
Looking further down, Ben Wallace was selected to the All-Defensive Second Team.
In fact, based on Ben's defensive efficiency, blocks, steals and other statistics after joining the Rockets, he is fully qualified to enter the first team.
It's a pity that his data during his time with the Pistons was too poor, which dragged down his season average, and he was relegated to the second team.
However, it is already good for a team to have a first defense and a second defense at the same time.
Except for the Rockets, no other team can do this!
Moreover, in addition to George and Ben Wallace, the Rockets also have Tony Allen, Danny Green, and PJ Tucker, all of whom have the potential to be selected for the lineup in the future.
[Strive to build Sun Yue into a defensive force next year.]
Shen Fei thought so.
Subsequently, the league announced the best rookie lineup.
The five players selected to the All-Rookie First Team are:
John Wall (Washington Wizards);
Paul George (Houston Rockets);
Gary Neal (San Antonio Spurs);
Blake Griffin (Houston Rockets);
DeMarcus Cousins (Sacramento Kings).
The Rockets have two people selected, the only one in the league!
Moreover, these two people have become the core players of the team.
You know, the Rockets are an epic team with 73 wins and 9 losses!
In such a team, there are two such young core players...
If you think about this situation for a moment, you can feel the horror of it!
After Shen Fei read the information, he swiped down the screen twice and saw many comments.
The ones that were lit up the most were all other teams lamenting the horror of the Rockets!
"Among the Rockets' starting lineup, Curry is 23 years old, George is 20 years old, and Griffin is 21 years old. The two oldest ones, Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady, are only 30 years old! How can this be fun? The strongest team is actually The youngest..."
"I can't understand how a team with three rookies among its five starters can dominate the league? Don't they need development time?"
"I can understand that the Rockets are discerning and good at cultivating newcomers. But the question is, don't these young people have a 'rookie wall'? How on earth did they improve so fast???"
A-Smith, a well-known ESPN commentator, commented:
"The Rockets dynasty seems inevitable! In my opinion, George and Griffin are both future leaders in the league. Together with Curry, who is at a higher level, when the Rockets will create history will depend on LeBron and him.
How long can the heat last?"
"In my opinion, the Lakers and Celtics have passed their prime. I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist the rising sun like the Rockets!"
...
In addition, some fans have begun to predict the best rookie based on the rookie lineup.
"If nothing else happens, Griffin, George, and Wall should be competing for the Rookie of the Year award this year. These three people have different playing styles, and I don't know who will get more favor..."
"I watch football every day. In my personal opinion, both George and Griffin have richer and more mature games than Wall, but both of them are supporting roles in the Rockets, while Wall has already
It has become the core of the Wizards, so it is not yet known who will win.”
"Upstairs, George and Griffin are indeed the fourth or even fifth choices in the Rockets, but their statistics are not worse than Wall's! On-court performance, statistics, and team record are all superior to them.
, why should the Rookie of the Year award be given to Wall?"
Shen Fei looked at these comments and shook his head with a smile.
In the original time and space, Griffin produced epic statistics and won the Rookie of the Year award without a doubt.
But in this time and space, his data has shrunk significantly, and George's progress has also far exceeded the normal speed.
It's hard for Shen Fei to decide who the best rookie will be in the end.
But that doesn't matter.
At least in Shen Fei's view, this trophy will definitely belong to Houston in the end, and that's enough.
Subsequently, the league announced the Best Rookie Second Team, and Jeremy Lin of the Rockets was successfully selected.
It's not bad for an undrafted player to receive such an honor.
After another half an hour, today's most important award - the best lineup - was also announced!
First announced is the best lineup:
Derrick Rose (Chicago Bulls);
Tracy McGrady (Houston Rockets);
LeBron James (Miami Heat);
Kevin Durant (Oklahoma City Thunder);
Yao Ming (Houston Rockets).
Once the list of winners was announced, it aroused widespread discussion.
The focus of discussion was on the center position.
Many fans raised objections and felt that Howard should receive this award more.
"I respect Yao Ming immensely, but the best center this season is definitely Dwight Howard. Whether it is offensive or defensive, his statistics are much higher than Yao Ming! There is no reason why Superman should not be included in the best team!"
"Compared with record, Yao Ming does have an advantage, but the Heat are also No. 1 in the Eastern Conference, and there is no level gap between Howard and him."
"Does the league want to support the Rockets? I don't have any objections to McGrady being selected for the first team, but if Yao Ming is also selected, it's not worthy of the name, right?"
...
Some people are against it, and naturally some people are in support of it.
Moreover, there are many more people who support Yao Ming's selection than those who oppose it!
"I think some people like to talk about Yao Ming's data, so let's talk about the data. Judging from the basic data, Howard is indeed more luxurious, but please also look at the high-level data.
Yao Ming far exceeds Howard in both per (efficiency value) and winshare (win share). Moreover, Yao has shot 65%, 38% and 90% this season, and is the only member of the league's '190 Club'!
What do these Howards compare to?"
"Is there no gap in grade? The Rockets have 73 wins and 9 losses this year, breaking the historical record! Compared with the record, they are the only one in the league. Compared with the second-tier teams, they have a gap-like advantage! They can even Said, you have to open a slot to share with other teams!"
"Howard? Is he the one who couldn't make it in the Magic and went to Miami to hug him? He only joined the Heat in February. It's inappropriate to use the Heat's record to participate in the selection, right?"
...
The fans' comments became more and more intense, and by the end, some of the content was unsightly.
Shen Fei was too lazy to read those "dirty words", so he closed the comment area and read other content.
He actually doesn't hate Howard.
In any case, Warcraft worked diligently with the Magic and led the team to the finals step by step.
It's understandable that the Magic let him leave the championship.
As for whether going to Miami counts as a big deal... Shen Fei doesn't think it counts.
It seems that the Heat regard him as their thigh and want to rely on him to fight against the Rockets.
However, although Howard is good, in Shen Fei's view, there is no problem at all if the center position of the first team belongs to Yao Ming.
Ever since Shen Fei took over the Rockets, Dayao has been the backbone of the team.
In order to cooperate with the tactics formulated by Shen Fei, he deliberately lost weight and practiced three-pointers, making a lot of sacrifices for the team.
Although Yao Ming's statistics have not made a big leap compared to the past, in terms of efficiency, he is definitely one of the top centers in the league.
And he also has spatial attributes, which is almost a rare animal in the current league!
Fans are still debating, and the league has announced the best second team:
Stephen Curry (Houston Rockets);
Kobe Bryant (Los Angeles Lakers);
Dwayne Wade (Miami Heat);
Dirk Nowitzki (Dallas Mavericks);
Dwight Howard (Miami Heat).
The second team's lineup is equally luxurious.
And Curry is also the only player on the list who is still on his rookie contract!
Rockets fans were naturally very happy to see his name appear in the second team.
This guard with handsome looks and gorgeous playing style has become Houston's new favorite.
Many fans believe that Curry will succeed Tracy McGrady and become the new owner of the Rockets in a few years.
"Ku Ritian, Sai Shenxian, take the second formation and try it!"
"There has never been an epoch-making guard. The future Stephen will dominate this league with three-pointers!"
"I really want to see Curry and Rose play one-on-one! Which skill is more deadly, breakthrough or three-pointer?"
...
In addition to fans, some retired celebrities and current players congratulated Curry.
For example, the Rockets' potential Finals opponent-LeBron James.
He specially sent a tweet, writing: "Congratulations @sc30! Great season! #子fromAkron # #young王#"
At the bottom of the tweet, a photo of Curry taking a logo-shot was attached.
I have to say that James’s tweet opened up the world!
Another prominent player in the league, Kobe Bryant, posted three tweets in a row, congratulating Tracy McGrady, Yao Ming and Curry respectively.
He and Yao Mai already have a very good relationship, so it is normal to congratulate the two on entering the first team.
But there is less contact between Kobe and Curry.
It was a bit surprising that he could specifically tweet to congratulate Curry.
What’s even more surprising is that Corvo’s evaluation of Curry is even higher than that of the so-called “young king”!
He wrote in a tweet: "This kid will be mvp in the future and will even enter the best discussion in history!"
Curry was really flattered by such an evaluation.
He forwarded Kobe's tweet and left a message saying that he would continue to work hard and try not to let Kobe down.
At the end of the tweet, Curry also attached three emoticons with hands clasped together, similar to praying to Buddha.
It can be seen that the young man is a little frightened when he receives such a high evaluation.
Shen Fei, who was far away in Houston, couldn't help laughing after seeing Curry's tweet, but he also understood the latter's mentality very well.
Curry is far from the "star" in everyone's eyes, both in terms of size and playing style.
Fans regard him more as a pitcher who can only play a green leaf role in the team.
Therefore, Curry has not been favored since middle school.
Even though he had a phenomenal performance in his high school career, scouts still looked down on him as always, and the major basketball schools were unwilling to give him an offer.
But Curry still used his excellent skills and abnormally accurate shooting to produce epic statistics in March Madness and counterattack to become a lottery pick.
However, after arriving in the NBA, Curry was still not favored. His old team, the Warriors, even sold Curry at a low price because of his injury risks.
Times have changed, who would have thought that half a year later Curry would not only conquer the fans, but also make the two prides of today's NBA, Kobe and James, look at him differently!
"Soon, you'll realize how good you are."
"You deserve all this."
Shen Fei murmured, and as he spoke, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.
After that, Shen Fei browsed the comment area for a while.
In addition to congratulating Curry, fans also discussed his characteristics.
For example, the three-pointer is abnormal and accurate, such as dribbling behind the back, and for example... the Houston dunk king!
"Curry's performance in these two games was so outstanding. Do you think he wanted to use his outstanding performance to make everyone forget about the slip during the fast break?"
"But what I want to say is... I can't forget it, because it's so funny hahaha~"
A fan commented below the Rockets' tweet congratulating Curry for making the All-NBA Team.
Such a joke actually received a lot of likes, and was finally set as the top comment by the Rockets official who caused the trouble.
For a time, when people mentioned "Houston Dunk King", the first thing that came to mind was not Griffin, but Curry.
............
The next day, the Rockets generals gathered in the training hall to carry out daily training.
Since many members of the team have just won awards, the atmosphere at today's training is particularly joyful.
Even Tony Allen, who had a broken wrist, was wrapped in a thick plaster and showed up at the training facility to celebrate with everyone.
In this atmosphere, the players began to prepare for the fourth game against the Grizzlies.
As long as they win one more game, they will advance to the second round!
