Chapter 211 He is trying a new way of leading the team

In the conference room of the NBA headquarters in New York, a group of people are intensely discussing the marketing work after the major awards are announced tomorrow.

James's headshot was still hanging on the projection of the curtain, and his bright and mature smile made every league executive who looked up and glanced at it unintentionally couldn't help but sigh -

"Too damn young!"

In fact, Ajan, who has grown a beard, shows a mature temperament far beyond his actual age even without frowning.

But the row of annotated numbers below helped everyone revise their impression of him.

21 years, 5 months and 7 days old.

It is difficult for ordinary people to connect this number with the title of MVP.

But in the previous statistics, after three consecutive confirmations, everyone had to accept the fact that this young guy was elected as this year's MVP.

21 year old MVP?!

Crazy!(crazy)

However, if we look back at James' performance this year, everything seems to be reasonable.

Personal statistics include 29.5 points, 7.2 rebounds and 6.9 assists. While serving as the team's main attacker, he also did other tasks. His overall performance was outrageous.

Coupled with the substantial improvement in the team's record, Ajan's performance in the team is getting better and better.

Especially after the All-Star Game, when the Cavaliers fell into the same weak state as in the previous two seasons, Ajan stepped up frequently and won all 5 overtime games. During this period, Ajan participated in all 4 buzzer-beaters.

He scored his first kill in a heart-to-heart battle with the Bobcats, and his performance was nothing short of outstanding.

3rd in the scoring list, 9th in the assists list, the team record and the Suns are only 1 game behind the Suns...

Regardless of the Heat's three unethical guys, multiple media outlets led by ESPN predicted that James would have a high probability of winning this year's MVP.

The MVP is originally voted by this group of media reporters or entrepreneurs.

41 of the 125 major media outlets in the United States and Canada that were invited to vote gave James their first vote, while Nash, who should have been elected MVP in history, only received 30 votes.

Nash's ability to become second in MVP was actually established in the second half.

Many people initially thought that the Suns were strong because of their players, coaches or tactics. However, in the second half of the game, Nash suffered a leg injury and missed several games. The Suns were as if they were in a magic mirror. No one on the team looked human.

Only then did everyone discover how strong Nash really was.

But without the assists leader, the statistics are almost completely surrounded by Mo Wen, and those who support Nash's MVP do not dare to shout too loudly.

No matter how much you brag about it, Mo Wen's record and data are all there. Even though Americans generally have a low level of mathematics, comparing them is not a problem.

It is very troublesome to use subjective factors to explain the objective gap time.

Just like in the forum later, many new fans were wondering why Nash, who had 15+11 points in 2005, won the MVP. Wasn't he on the same team with Stoudemire who had 26+9 points and Marion who had 20+11 points?

More qualified than him?

In fact, you only need to look at the videos from that year to find out what Nash meant to the Suns.

Mathematics doesn't lie, but it doesn't tell the whole truth either.

Looking beyond superficial data and looking at high-level data, Nash is not as good as Nowitzki and Mo Wen, who are one step ahead of others, and even Marion in the team is not as good.

However, if you look at the high-level statistics he adds to his teammates when he is on the court...

A unique piece of history.

Unfortunately, the NBA's current application of high-end data is not that in-depth, and MVP selection relies more on impression flow.

For example, now Ajan can also be praised by the media as "making his teammates better".

However, to put things into perspective, the 1.0 Knight Zhan can indeed relate to this statement. After all, Zhan’s effect on his teammates is like Hearthstone’s [Crystal Core] - all the followers on the field (whether with 1 health or 9 health)

) is forced to become 5 blood.

(Owen/Thick Eyebrows: Impeccable!)

All in all, Arjan's name has been engraved on the base of the MVP trophy.

After finishing the final decision, Stern leisurely picked up his coffee cup and admired the night view of New York.

Speaking of which, he didn't want to put James in the clouds so early.

But other local players really didn't live up to expectations.

Mo Wen's unexpected appearance made him feel in crisis.

If the Heat win another championship this year, it will be Mo Wen's third consecutive championship.

Others have one year left on their rookie contracts, and Mo Wen's ring is almost filling up one hand.

Moreover, Mo Wen has not followed the route of Robert Horry, who has gone from being the key sixth man of the Pistons to last year's FMVP, and then to this year's FMVP candidate...

When Mo Wen leads the team alone next year and makes up for his regular season honors, he will be qualified to charge towards the number one player in active service.

And if Mo Wen is allowed to win a few more championships, then Danzi's position as a god may not be secure.

Let a foreigner become the strongest player in the NBA?

This is not what local fans want to see, nor is it what he wants to see.

Although Nash is an international player, he is white-skinned, and there is no need to elaborate on the relationship between the autonomous province of Canada and the United States.

Mo Wen is different. Although the Chinese market is good, it is far from being able to replace the local market.

However, pure suppression is a sign of incompetence for a manager.

Just like balancing a game will only weaken it, the ecosystem is cultivated, not killed.

If you don't want to be strong, then cultivate a strong local opponent.

Kobe doesn't have the scoring champion with 81 points and 35 points, and he still needs time to slowly clear his name. In front of Stern, apart from Wade, who is on the same team as Mo Wen, only Arjan has the best image.

As for whether Azhan can be promoted, he is not worried.

Talented, physically durable, emotionally intelligent, ambitious, self-disciplined, measured off the court, with leadership qualities, and brand support...

A natural spokesperson?

A natural agent!

At present, it seems that James is also a very smart child, and he is very good at using his own advantages to seek benefits for himself.

The only thing you may need to worry about is that the child is a little too smart, or not smart enough.

It is not a good thing to rely too much on external forces. It is like a child's walker. When it is supported by a car, it can walk freely, but when the car is removed, it will most likely have to fall a few times before it can stand firm again.

Just when Stern was still dreaming about when Arjan would win the championship, the bald man who served as his deputy walked up to him with a somewhat unnatural expression and whispered a few words into his ear.

Stern was skeptical at first, then surprised, and then deeply puzzled.

Are you kidding? You only scored 3 points at halftime?

Did James suffer any serious injury?

Regardless of enjoying the coffee and the beautiful scenery, Stern and several vice presidents hurried into the conference room with a TV next to it.

The camera returns to the stadium.

Another half of the quarter passed, and James still couldn't find a way to break the game. Instead, he felt like he was getting deeper and deeper into Mo Wen's defense.

He gave up the task of advancing with the ball, but it only slightly delayed the suffocation time.

Mo Wen allowed him to catch the ball outside the three-point line, but if he wanted to go further, he would have to put on that painful mask that even the referees thought "didn't look like acting."

NH rules do not protect players without the ball.

If you want to be domineering in other people's territory, just saying something based on your strength and position is not enough, unless you really mean it.

Due to the influence of Mo Wen, A Zhan has also focused on confrontation in the past two years, but these are all practiced hard in the gym, which is not as good as the hair extension that Master Mo has honed in the dungeon.

Moreover, for his smooth and explosive dunks, he also consciously controls his weight and body shape. The reason why A-Zhan is called Young James now is because his body is still developing.

With his normal No. 3 position body shape and his slightly immature confrontation skills, the fact that he could persist in front of Mo Wen without shouting out already proved his strength.

"If I were wearing boxing gloves now, I would definitely punch you!"

A Zhan, who couldn't bear it anymore, twisted his waist and waved his elbow at Mo Wen, as if his daughter-in-law was angry.

Mo Wen swayed slightly to the side, dodged with ease, then swung back and tapped Azhan's exposed ribs lightly with the tip of his elbow.

"hiss--"

A Zhan was immediately aroused by the pain.

One thing to say is that Mo Wen still likes Young Zhan's innocence. If it were Lao Zhan who suffered such a blow, Mo Wen's internal force would send him flying 3 meters away.

"Really? Do you want to have a game later?"

Mo Wen raised his eyebrows, with inexplicable excitement in his eyes.

During the previous offseason, most of the guys from the 2003 class had tried out with Mo Wen.

Azhan was the best at assessing the situation. Either he was in poor condition or had muscle soreness, which kept him avoiding it.

In the dungeon, he had practiced with Azhan several times. After all, Azhan had been "clumsy" more than once or twice. Those pictures were not nine-square grid, they were comic strips!

A Zhan was speechless for a moment when he saw Mo Wen's excited look.

Just like Mo Wen's endless little moves in today's confrontation, if it had been someone else, the "Azhan's Eighteen Moves" might have been arranged long ago.

But just because Mo Wen didn't make many moves this year, it doesn't mean that others will forget about his record.

Especially for these stars who come from slums, if they can't remember their elder brothers in their own community, it may really cost them their lives.

"I still need to adjust my condition, let's talk about it later."

Azhan's eyes flickered, and he leaned against Mo Wen and once again made a motion to catch the ball.

…

There were only the last 50 seconds left in the third quarter. Ajan made 0 of 5 shots in a single quarter and only scored 2 points with fouls. At this moment, Ajan felt as if he had taken a big sip of "water of life."

By attracting double-teams and then dealing cards, his assists reached double figures in three quarters.

The offense couldn't get going, so he kept struggling defensively and got double figures in rebounds.

Because he can attract double teams without the ball, his teammates also performed well, and now the point difference is only 11 points behind, and there is still the possibility of a fight in the fourth quarter.

Everything seemed to be heading in the right direction, except for his scoring—

5 points!

After nearly three quarters, he took 13 shots and only scored 5 points!

Is this the kind of thing a human can do?

When he thought of this, Azhan gritted his teeth and looked at Mo Wen fiercely.

Of course, Mo Wen also paid a "painful" price for this. He only scored 13 points in the three quarters today.

A Zhan originally wanted to repay him in the same way.

But Mo Wen's skills and shooting ability were there. Even if Azhan devoted 120% of his attention, he couldn't lock Mo Wen down like Mo Wen locked him up.

The fact that we only scored these points today is not so much a result of Ajan's defense as it is that Mo Wen saved his physical energy in order to fully defend Ajan, which led to a reduction in offensive output.

To a certain extent, it seems that it’s also Ajan’s fault?

Holding the ball, Ajan felt that his consciousness was a little confused.

He is now like a clown who surrendered after being killed by a super ghost in the canyon.

Winning or losing the game is not that important anymore, he just wants to rush in and dunk hard.

Mo Wen in front of him shook his head slightly and shook the sweat beads to both sides.

He couldn't reach out to wipe his sweat, because A Zhan had been watching him looking for any flaws.

Reed and other Cavaliers players were also constantly running to create noise, working hard to help Ajan draw space and the attention of other Heat players.

After taking a few deep breaths, Ajan, who had adjusted his rhythm, picked up the ball again and rushed forward without saying a word.

Confrontation...confrontation..., through constant physical contact, Ajan finally found an omission that Mo Wen didn't know. This time, his teammates also did a good job of pulling back, and the other Heat players were unable to immediately make up for the defense.

Now he only needs two long strides to rush to the basket.

The depressed energy that had been suppressed for a whole game blew up his muscles like balloons. At this moment, he felt like he could try Mount Everest, not to mention Huashan.

He felt like he was in better shape than ever.

One step, two steps...take off!

He raised the basketball with only one thought in his mind.

Smash it with me!!

But what he didn't notice was that there was actually a dark shadow following behind his soaring shadow.

Mo Wen was passed over, but he was not completely out of position.

Under normal circumstances, Mo Wen's jumping is definitely two levels worse than Ajana's. But at this time, everyone was exhausted, so the gap was not that big.

Snap——!

After a not-so-clear sound of contact, the basketball was blown away.

This is not what makes Ajan the most devastated. What makes Ajan the most devastated is that when he stood firm and looked at the referee, the referee didn't even have the slightest intention of blowing the whistle.

"He fouled, he hit!" Azhan asked in confusion and anger, spreading his hands towards the referee.

"That's a good hat, James." The referee raised an eyebrow and explained.

"What a damn good shot. He hit my hand first. The ball was in my hand. If he wanted to block it, he had to hit my hand first. Tell me, how did he hit my hand without the ball leaving my hand?"

If you blocked this ball, would you mind blowing it..."

Bread Brown stopped in front of the rampaging James in time.

"Sir, why don't you watch the replay? LeBron's shot just now was obviously a dunk. A dunk from that angle cannot be blocked without fouling."

The "challenge" rule was introduced in the 19-20 season. Before that, big-name players and coaches could only rely on pressure.

The referee frowned slightly. James is probably the new MVP, so he needs to be respected.

After watching the replay, it seems that there was indeed a foul on the ball just now.

After successfully getting to the free throw line, Ajan's angry mood finally eased a little.

Today, he no longer expects to perform as flawlessly on the offensive end as he did before.

By scoring in double figures and collecting a civilian triple-double, he can still give an account to his fans even if he loses.

He had already thought out the lines for the press conference.

He is trying a new way of leading a team.

Now he has 5 points and two 7-point free throws. As long as he scores 3 more points in the fourth quarter, he can achieve his goal.

He glared at Mo Wen angrily and unwillingly.

He has never suffered this kind of grievance in his life. When did he have to count on his fingers to score?

bang——

bang——

The rebound was taken off by Mo Wen, but the team was not in a hurry to counterattack.

Obviously, everyone was a little upset by Ajan's two missed free throws.

Is this a psychological shadow of being guarded? Are you serious about missing two free throws at this time?

A Zhan's dark face glowed slightly under the gaze of everyone, and he also looked at his hands in disbelief.

No, did he really take a free throw just now?

Why does this nightmare feel so real?

Mo Wen scratched his head. Ajan's two free throws reduced the value of his defense tonight by 20%.

Ajan's career free throw shooting percentage has been very stable and has fluctuated around 70%. If you calculate that the probability of missing two free throws in a row is about 10%, it is not a particularly rare situation.

However, I missed two free throws at this time...

"Shaq, is that you? Why are you wearing a Cavaliers jersey?"

Mo Wen patted A Zhan on the shoulder and glanced back at Ao Pang behind him.

Ao Pang understood instantly, rolled his eyes, and came over with a smile to take a picture of A Zhan.

"Hey, give me back my young body, Shaq! Now prove it, you are a fool who can't play without this superhuman body. I've had enough fun with your body, now it's time to exchange it back!"

Before Azhan could react, Ao Pang got up again and touched Azhan's head. His whole body shook unconsciously twice, as if a soul exchange had really taken place, and then he patted his chest with a look of fear on his face.

"God, my body is better, even though I'm no longer young... Your body is too difficult to use, it seems you need to practice more!"

"Also, Mo, have you seen it? Facts have proved that free throw shooting is a talent derived from the soul. It has nothing to do with the body and cannot be practiced!"

LeBron pursed his lips and gritted his teeth. His expression didn't know whether he should cry or laugh. These two bastards were so miserable and yet they still wanted to make fun of him.

Inhuman!

…

Stern, who was far away in New York, ran into trouble.

He really didn't expect that Arjan would give him such a big job when the MVP was about to be announced.

It's not that hard to accept that the regular season MVP failed to make a difference in the playoffs.

Both Moses Malone and Unseld were eliminated in the first round of the MVP.

There are quite a few MVPs who fell in the second round, and even great players such as Daidai, Danzi, and Magician cannot escape the manipulation of fate.

But no matter what, the data of those players are still reasonable.

The third quarter is about to pass, and Ajan's score is still at 5 points.

This is no longer a question of whitening or not.

A big hole cannot be repaired no matter how much I wash it!

The trophy has been engraved and the news has been released. It is known that there are many MVP selections. In order to ensure the credibility of the league, there can be no more secret operations in this thing.

what to do?

Stern feels like he needs to re-evaluate Arjan's abilities.

If there is really a single-digit MVP, then the league will really become a joke.

At the end of the quarter, the referee suddenly tightened his whistle and took control.

But A Zhan, whose heart was sealed and would never love again, had no motivation to try again.

Rush? It hurts a lot!

Reed, who scored a career high in scoring in the playoffs, still wants to struggle a little more.

His touch was very good today, with 39 points in 3 quarters. If he can continue his previous touch, there may be hope for today.

However, after Ajan lost power, his output environment suddenly became worse.

Originally, he thought that Ajan was too tough today, but when it was his turn with similar defensive intensity, he was very strong from then on, helping Ajan kill the game.

Finally, Ajan, who started the outside shooting mode, finally found a chance to score two goals in garbage time.

Mo Wen did not kill them all, but they were still brothers on the surface. At the last moment, Mo Wen chose to let A Zhan go and help him complete a triple-double.

The game is over.

Ajan scored a total of 9 points, 11 rebounds, 13 assists and 10 turnovers.

Oh, I forgot to mention that Mo Wen let Ajan go, but he didn't let the ball go.

It's a pity that with only 1 point left, Ajan could achieve a quadruple-double in the playoffs that would shock the world and complete a feat that even O'Neal had not accomplished.

10 turnovers, which is also the highest record in NBA playoff history.

Fortunately, Ajan is not alone. Deng Dadai, Hardaway, and Penny Hardaway are also the holders of this record.

Because Mo Wen focused on Azhan, his statistics were not very good.

In the end, he only scored 19 points, 12 assists, 8 rebounds, 6 steals and 2 blocks.

The data cannot... completely reflect the damage he caused to the Cavaliers!

Many fans who don't often watch Mo Wen play are still wondering when Mo Wen got a part-time job as a gangster.

Reed became the game's leading scorer with 42 points and experienced a joy based on the pain of his teammates.

(Reed: Are you happy? I am very happy!~)

(Ajan: You are not truly happy~)

Wade and O'Fatty alternately scored 27 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, and the other scored 25 points and 9 rebounds, absorbing Mo Wen's extra ball rights and allowing many people to see the Heat's hope for next season.

(Wade: Shaq, have you seen it? The FMVP trophy seems to be waving to me!)

(Ao Pang: Young man, you are still young and you still have a lot of time, so...)

Return to the away locker room.

The devastated Azhan spent a long time in the water.

He walked to the locker in a daze and was about to open the door to change clothes when he suddenly seemed to see Mo Wen's shadow in the locker again.

“F*CK U!”

James was so frightened that he slammed the door shut. He didn't know what his psychology was, but he added some extra pieces to the cabinet.

Bang bang——

Ouch——

Broken, I forgot to change into slippers just now!

Last night’s…

Pure deer people went to watch the game
