I am Really an Insider

After the first round of the series, Wayne's performance can be said to be astonishing.

Weber, a giant, has to be said to be really tall.

Wayne stood up and instantly had a panoramic view of the mountains and small mountains.

Now, there is no rookie in the 2004 class who can compare with Wayne.

He averaged 27 points per game in the playoffs. Are you kidding me?

Although everyone knows that Wayne's 27 points, not to mention more, at least one-third of the credit belongs to Webber.

But this is still awesome. If you ask Okafor to face Webb, will he definitely be able to average 20 points per game?

Now, many people no longer even regard Wayne as a rookie.

Therefore, on May 1, when the NBA officially announced the final winner of the Best Sixth Man, Ben Gordon told himself: "I have nothing to say after losing to Wei."

"Wei, we will hold a press conference in the afternoon to award you an award. Congratulations, this is the first regular season award in your career!" During training at noon, Bird informed Wayne of his award.

Bird thought Wayne would be very excited, but unexpectedly, Wayne just smiled and nodded gently: "Okay."

"You are the first player in NBA history to win the Sixth Man of the Year award in his rookie season." Seeing this, Bird continued.

Look, you and I are pretending to be serious again.

However, Wayne remained calm: "Really? That's really great."

"Uh, see you in the afternoon, Wei."

Birdburn also wanted to say to Wayne sincerely, "Keep working hard, you will be as good as me."

How could Bird let this opportunity pass?

However, Wayne just didn't give Bird any room to play!

Big Brother B is so angry.

Wayne watched Bird leave in disappointment, a little confused.

I won the Sixth Man of the Year award and you are so disappointed!

Wayne really wasn't very excited.

Before the playoffs started, Wayne actually didn't even think that he could win the Sixth Man of the Year award.

Because he feels that he should start more times than come off the bench.

Who knew it was almost half and half.

Therefore, when Wayne was qualified for selection, he actually knew that he would definitely win the award.

This is really not because Wayne is arrogant, but because other people really don’t see enough!

Among several competitors for this year's Sixth Man of the Year award, Gordon averaged 15 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists per game.

"Assistant King" Ricky Davis averaged 16 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists per game.

Denver's strongest 165 Boykins averaged 12 points and 4.5 assists per game.

Compared with Wayne's 17.8 points, 7.3 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.5 blocks, their data are far behind.

Although Wayne plays the most minutes among them all, averaging 35.5 minutes per game, and also has the most starts, it is normal for his data to be better than them.

But rules are rules. Since Wayne complies with the selection rules and his data is so much better than others, there will definitely be no problem in being elected.

Therefore, after learning that he was eligible to participate in the election, Hao said without any pretense that Wayne already knew that he could win the award.

This damn confidence has nowhere to put it.

Now that he was informed of the award, Wayne just felt it was natural.

After the afternoon training, the Pacers held a brief award ceremony for Wayne at the press conference.

Since the NBA does not yet have something as grand as an annual awards ceremony, the regular season awards are either held before the start of the game, or at a press conference if there is no game.

Under the gaze of many reporters, Bird handed the Best Sixth Man trophy to Wayne.

Wayne received the trophy. Although he was not that excited, he was indeed very happy.

Being able to win a regular season award in the first year of entering the NBA is considered a recognition of one's own strength.

Moreover, it also fills the gap for Chinese players in NBA regular season awards.

Yao Ming, who plays World of Warcraft during the day and continues to play World of Warcraft at night, has not won any individual awards, not even the Best of the Month, although he has been selected to the All-Star and All-NBA Teams many times.

Wayne is the first Chinese player to win a regular season award in the NBA.

After Wayne lifted the trophy, Miller, Wu Sheng, 91 Tai, Payton and O'Brien all came together to take a photo with Wayne.

The six heroes from Yincheng look like champions this year.

Subsequently, the press conference officially began.

Bird made a joke with reporters as soon as he came up: "When we traded Harrington, the second best sixth man of the year, for Way last summer, many people said I was crazy.

As a result, we now have another Sixth Man of the Year. Facts have proved that at least I didn't make a loss. "

Donnie Walsh: Oh, I know you meant it to me, next one!

"Wei, as the first player in history to win the Sixth Man of the Year award in his rookie year, how do you feel now?"

"Well, Magic even won the FMVP in his rookie year. So, I won't be complacent. In the next games, I will continue to work hard with the team.

Thank you Bird, thank you to my teammates, thank you to my parents, thank you to CCTV, thank you to Barkley, thank you to my girl Sharapova, thank you to sister Jenny”

After that, Wayne gave a very skillful Chinese-style acceptance speech - Thank you Dafa!

"Wei, although you won first place with 45.6% of the votes, it also means that more than 50% of people think you are not worthy of the Best Sixth Man Award.

By most accounts, your role with the Pacers was not a sixth man role at all.

Gordon has only started 3 times this season, Boykins has only 5 times, and even Ricky Davis has only started 11 times.

And you have started more than 30 times this season. Do you think you are qualified? "

The second reporter started to get angry, but Aunt Jenny was prepared.

"Aaron McGee, the best sixth man in the 2000-01 season, started 33 times, and Ricky Pierce, the best sixth man in the 1986-87 season, started 31 times. The first best sixth man in NBA history was Kevin McGee. Vin McHale started 31 times that season.

If they are all okay, what am I not up to? "

"This" reporters really didn't expect that Wayne actually knew these data!

Can you not know? I just had a make-up lesson with Aunt Jenny yesterday.

“Besides, now that the trophy is in my hands, I don’t care what the other 50% think.

Their opinions simply don't make sense. Whether they're happy or not, I'm the best sixth man and I'm proud of it. "

With a smile on his face, Wayne scolded the reporters who were about to cause trouble without using any harsh words.

He is worthy of being a famous cross talk master in Greater China.

At every press conference, reporters want to take the upper hand and take the initiative.

But every time, Wayne would push him to the ground and rub him.

The only person who can make Wayne willingly take the lower position is probably a well-known female tennis player.

Holding the Sixth Man of the Year Award, Wayne returned to the locker room.

Of course, he knows that this will most likely not be the last regular season award he gets this year.

In a few days, the results of the Rookie of the Year award will be announced.

Wayne felt that he was likely to start a new round of war of words with reporters.

※※※

Since the first round of the series, there has basically been a three-legged situation in the Eastern Conference.

The Heat swept the Nets 4-0, the Pistons swept the Wizards 4-0, and the Pacers swept the 76ers 4-0.

Except for the inextricable battle between the Celtics and Bulls, the other three rounds were all sweeps.

This can be said to be quite rare in NBA history.

This is the first time this has happened since the NBA changed the first round of the playoffs to a best-of-7 series.

Therefore, fans are full of expectations for the showdown between the Heat, Pacers and Pistons.

Now, the Pistons and Pacers are ready, and just waiting for the Celtics and Bulls to finish, these old enemies will meet again!

Prior to that, NBA officials had successively announced the final selection results of multiple regular season awards.

After Wayne's Sixth Man of the Year award, the Pistons also received good news, because Ben won this year's Defensive Player of the Year award.

For the Pistons, this is undoubtedly a morale booster.

Local newspapers in Detroit also ran headlines like this: "The best sixth man will be completely lost in front of the best defensive player."

Artest is so indignant, is there a better defensive player than me in this world?

You must be jealous of my passing talent to not give me this award!

"Yes, a rough guy like Ben can only win the best defensive player award in this life, what else can he do?

Unlike me, I am a man who takes blame and passes the ball to the extreme.

Let's just think of this award as a comfort and consolation. Otherwise, he would have achieved nothing throughout his career, which would be really pitiful. "

Artest comforted himself in his heart.

In fact, they are not pitiful at all. If Artest hadn't stepped in last season, Ben would have been DPOY for four consecutive seasons.

So at the press conference, Ben also said: "This time they finally picked the right person, and the best defensive player award returned to the real best defensive player, instead of being taken away by some clown."

When Artest heard this, he was unhappy.

Why do you call Wayne a clown? ?

Give you some sunshine, do you really think you are a hot spot?

ah? Is the clown that Ben is talking about me?

It's impossible, it's impossible, he doesn't dare to talk to me like that!

Therefore, when facing reporters during the regular interview period, Artest also responded to Ben: "He may be the most vulnerable best defensive player in the history of the league."

Tianzun: "It seems that the clown really responded to us."

Artest: "Shut up, it would be nice if you talked so much when you and Wei were playing against each other."

Big Ben: "The result of this series will be no different from last season."

Artest: "4-0 in the regular season, you can savor it yourself."

Well, the Eastern Conference semifinals haven't even started yet, and the two sides are already tense just to receive the award.

Between the Pacers and Pistons, there is no need for any hype or mobilization.

Just seeing each other, both sides have the urge to crush each other to death.

Everything about last season's Eastern Conference finals is now on everyone's mind.

Prince chased Miller and Artest gave Hamilton a big elbow. The basketball kicked away by Miller and Rasheed’s endless roar

Just thinking about these pictures, everyone on the Pacers team is already preparing to steal the guy.

Wayne, Wu Sheng and Payton are relatively calm among them. After all, they have not personally experienced last season's Eastern Conference Finals.

But under the influence of other people, they are basically in a state of gearing up and doing whatever they don't accept.

In the days that followed, the Bulls and Celtics had yet to decide a winner, and regular season awards continued to be handed out.

This year's Most Improved Award went to Bobby Simmons, and the best coach was Mustache D'Antoni, who pioneered 7 seconds of offense and 0 seconds of defense.

The day after this, Steve Nash also became the MVP of the 2004-05 season with 32.2% of the votes!

It is worth mentioning that O'Neal's vote rate was only 1% lower than Nash. Nash was a narrow win.

When Nash won the MVP, it seems that Stern wanted to tell the world - a new era is coming, you can all attack hard, it is best if a player can score 40 or 50 points in a single game, and a team If you can score 150 points, don't stop fighting and defending!

If you keep doing this, NBA ratings will drop to freezing point!

Spurs, Pacers, Pistons: "You can say it, but we won't listen!"

Carlyle's Third Law: "When I can't beat others in physical combat, I call on the league to make changes. When I can't beat others in physical combat, I fight in physical combat."

After the annual MVP award was finally announced, only the Rookie of the Year award for this year's regular season has yet to be announced.

Yes, this year, the Best Newcomer Award is the finale, which is very strange.

Who among Wayne or Okafor will become the Rookie of the Year in 2004 is also attracting much attention.

Some people think that Okafor's double-double per game is bad, while others think that Wayne has more star status.

But before the results were known, on May 7, the Celtics and Bulls went through a tie-break battle, and finally the Celtics won the first round of the playoffs.

In other words, on May 8, the Pacers and Pistons will start their battle at Bankers Life Arena.

There had been so much talk between the two sides before, but now it was finally time for a real-life confrontation.

This season's regular season was swept by the Pacers, and Double Wallace was humiliated by Wayne's beating. It's time to settle the accounts!

There is no doubt that this will be a very physical and rough series.

But Wei Zhanshen said it was great and he liked it very much!

Thanks to Bing Bingxueyu, Shen Yealone, Mengmeng Snail, East Ward Su Ge, C1Q2 and other big guys for their rewards. Thank you very much~
