MTL - The Rest, Only Noise-v2 Chapter 1463 last night
The most difficult thing on the night of the championship is to select the FMVP from the Lakers.
Because Wilson, Duncan and Bodi Loga are all eligible for FMVP.
Wilson scored the most, averaging 27 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists in the Finals.
Duncan's data looks the most solid, averaging 21 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 blocks and 1 steal per game.
Bodi Loga has the most comprehensive data, averaging 17 points, 10 rebounds and 15 assists per game.
It is worth mentioning that Bodi Loga not only averaged a triple-double in the finals, but also maintained a triple-double throughout the playoffs.
During the regular season, the legendary triple-double earned him the MVP.
In the finals, it was also averaging a triple-double, so those who were tired of voting for Wilson decided to find something new, and invited Bodi Loga to the throne, making him the fourth since the 1980s in the same season. The player who won both MVP and Finals MVP.
Even if this timeline is extended to 1969 (the first year FMVP was introduced), only four players have won this honor.
They are Wilson, Ewing, Bird, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Among these four, three are the consensus candidates for the top five in history.
Even Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is recognized as the top ten in history.
It can be seen that every player who can win double MVPs in a single season is a stepping stone to the top ten in history.
After the awards, it was the Lakers' carnival.
They sprayed champagne to vent the pressure they had been under for a year. The four consecutive championships represented the Lakers' achievement of a new dynasty.
At the moment when all super teams are about to die, there will never be another team that has won four consecutive championships in the foreseeable decades. In other words, unless the definition and standards of the dynasty are changed, the Lakers may be the last dynasty team.
The Lakers are eager to return.
They wanted to return to Los Angeles for one final bash—the championship celebration—and then go their separate ways.
At present, only Kobe and Garnett are the only ones who are determined to stay in the team. They both completed their contract extensions a few years ago. Wilson has not yet made a decision, but even if he wants to stay, it will be very difficult because If there is an extra maximum salary, the luxury tax in the next few years will bring heavy financial pressure to the Lakers.
This year, he has already paid 100 million US dollars for the four consecutive championships. The team earns a lot of taxes that have not been paid throughout the year. If there are more times, he will either sell the team or dismantle the team like the Knicks.
Both Bodi Loga and Duncan have their own ideas, and the consensus of this idea is to leave the Lakers.
Originally, Louis wasn't sure what to do next, but in the fourth game of the finals, when the team built the temple as he wished, he knew that his mission had been completed, and there was no point in staying any longer. Therefore, although he didn't make any changes on the surface, he had already made a decision in his heart, and he intentionally released some signals to let the Lakers management understand his intentions.
The signal released by Louie is decentralization.
He will no longer participate in this year's draft, and will hand over the draft work to Bass Jr. and Zhao Yuanzheng. At that time, they will finalize the draft candidates, and then show him to see, and it will be over.
It is impossible for an ambitious godfather to let go of the draft unless he doesn't want to do it.
Louis had a lot of leisure time after becoming the shopkeeper. The rest of this year is to wait for the draft to be over, participate in the championship celebration, and then officially leave the team to focus on coaching the national team and the Sydney Olympics this summer. Moreover, this year is also the last year of his tenure in the national team. If he can fulfill his wish, he will not renew his contract with the national team.
There is no other reason, too tired.
From the summer of 1997 to now, he has been running around for three consecutive years, so he really needs to take a good rest.
It's rare for his son to show up at home, so Li Xuanbing volunteered to cook. Although Louis' family has two cooks, Li Xuanbing occasionally cooks.
Although the chef invited was good at cooking, but he ate too many delicacies, and Louis also missed his mother's cooking. But today, he found that it is better to keep some things in memory.
He has been pampered for too long and forgot the steps, and the dishes he cooks are either too heavy or too light, but he has to pretend to be enjoying himself, so as not to upset the old man.
In addition to resting at home, Louis will also take time to learn about his son's current situation.
Three months ago, Lu Wuxia went to Ohio to participate in the Urban Challenge, and had a head-to-head confrontation with James, and the two basically drew.
James was born in the same year as Wuxia, but went to high school a year later. As a rising star, he scored 22 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists against top high school students in the country, which attracted a lot of attention.
Louis never imagined that James would break the circle in this way.
Wuxia did not fall behind. On the contrary, it was rare to meet such a strong player. He played extremely excitedly, highlighted his personal offense, and led the team to victory with 30 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists.
For Wuxia, this kind of performance is just his basic operation, and the scouts have long been used to it
got used to.
The performance of James made it difficult for scouts to let go. The same age, the same early developmental physique, and the same tall ball holder, the biggest difference between him and Wuxia is that one is strong in technical maturity and comprehensive skills, and the other is strong in A rare physical quality among ninth graders.
Louie knew that James would soon be known across America as flawless.
Therefore, he wondered what Wuxia thought of James.
Lu Wuxia spoke highly of his peer who was born almost in the same year and month as himself: "It may be the most difficult opponent I have ever met."
Louie smiled and asked, "Where's Carmelo Anthony?"
Flawless said predictably: "At this stage, Cameron is more difficult to deal with, but Bron will far surpass him in a few years."
Louie didn't expect his son to call James "Bron." When Louis was playing Twitter in his previous life, he had indeed seen foreign fans call James this way, which is a kind of affectionate nickname, just like Michael’s Mike.
"Why?"
Wuxia gave a very appropriate metaphor: "Bron is Dejan Bodiloga, and Cameron is Tracy McGrady."
What a good answer, to the point!
"What about you? What are you?" Louis asked with a smile.
Mr. Lu has a clear understanding of himself: "I, I am a rich second generation who got lucky. If it weren't for LegendLu, I would be nothing."
Louis comforted: "Don't look down on yourself so much."
Wuxia said indifferently: "There are indeed many people who talk trash to me on the court."
"Then how did you respond?"
"Father, I have a kind heart, and I will only repay evil with kindness." Wuxia said, Shi Jipei was trustworthy
"If it's with me
Matchup, I'll keep scoring on him. If he is not in the same position as me, I will frequently call the pick-and-roll to attack him in dislocation. "
Louis nodded in satisfaction: "Son, you are the most like your father and me in this respect, you are so kind!"
Before the start of the 2000 draft, Zhao Yuanzheng informed Louis of the team's draft goals for this year.
Louie had only one disagreement, and that was to switch the No. 17 pick from athletic man Desmond Mason (SF)
Replaced by Hedo Turkoglu.
He didn't say the reason, and Zhao Yuanzheng didn't ask, so he just did it. The 2000 draft is widely considered to be the worst draft since the merger era. Even if it has not been inspected, major clubs are not optimistic about the success rate of this draft.
In fact, Louie thinks this is a good draft year that reflects what would happen if the NBA didn't go global.
The talent pool of the United States alone cannot meet the talent needs of the 29 NBA teams. Draft years like 2000 would abound without globalization, expanding the talent pool from U.S. soil to the world.
In the first ten years of the new century, the globalization of the NBA is still in progress, so the trend of absorbing talents from all over the world is not obvious. In this decade, the real reputation before the draft
For the big years, only 2003 and 2007 (1), but since the 10s, the influence of foreign players on the draft is very intuitive.
Take the draft in 2013 as an example, if you take Germany
Schroder, the Greek letter, and the French Gobert are all taken away. Isn't this draft worse than 2000?
That's the situation in the 2000 draft. When this group of Americans is not talented enough, there will be a draft class of extremely poor quality.
Then came the 2000 draft.
The process was unremarkable. The Lakers selected Hedo Turkoglu with the 17th overall pick in the first round, and then selected Marko Jarlich (Marko JarPG/SG) with the 29th overall pick in the first round.
The next day, the championship celebration was held in downtown Los Angeles.
This year's celebration ceremony is very solemn, comparable to the championship in 1997, because this is the championship of the Dingding Dynasty, and it is also the last championship of this fantastic Lakers team. Starting next year, the difficulty of winning the championship will rise in a straight line.
Everyone gave speeches.
@首选五人 even played a prank on Louis under the instigation of Duncan.
Everyone added a paragraph in the speech with Louis' famous coach stalk.
For example, Duncan said this: "Coach, my coach, thank you for refusing me to touch your head every day for three years. You slander my hands with a poison that is invisible to the naked eye. It fills me with energy. I must thank you. you!"
Louie's speech, by contrast, felt like a farewell.
"In the summer of 1994, Dr. Buss brought 10,000 people to New York to convince me to join the Lakers. He proved to me with his actions that he wanted to win more championships, so I came. Things progressed more than I thought. To go well, we decided to bet on Molly. We were right! Then we decided to bet on Bean, and we were right again! After that, we didn't need to bet, thanks to Jim's magic hand , We were lucky enough to get the No. 1 pick in 1997. In the draft that year, we only needed to do one thing, and that was to send Ti home, because any general manager who didn’t pick Ti with the No. 1 pick would be sent to a madhouse. Coupled with the arrival of our ice cream boy, the championship has changed from hard mode to easy mode, and you have had the most enjoyable viewing experience ever. To this day, I can proudly tell Dr. Buss that my mission is successfully completed .This team has grown into a towering tree, and they will definitely bring back a brand new trophy for Los Angeles next year!"
Many fans feel bitter~www.novelbuddy.com~Because in the past, LegendLu would always say at the championship celebration: "Next year we will win again!"
This time, he said "they".
Everyone knew Louis's heart, and they thanked the legendary godfather who added luster to the city with the warmest cheers.
That night, Old Bath held a grand party, and the players who usually don't drink alcohol broke their fasts one after another and got drunk.
Dejan Bodiloga toasted everyone at the end, "We will be rivals next time we meet.
Duncan said: "That must have been fun. Everyone drank that glass of wine.
Only Louis and Wilson leaned on the balcony overlooking the city that never sleeps. "Coach, what's the next step?"
Louis was already slightly drunk, he blushed and said, "I have no plans, I just want to lead the Chinese team...to win a gold medal in Sydney." Benj couldn't help laughing: "Coach, you are so drunk!
(1) The 2009 draft can be called the evil generation. Before the draft, it was believed that it was expected to be worse than in 2000. All kinds of arguments that "if you can produce an All-Star, you will be successful" are not uncommon. Unexpectedly...
PS: There is only one chapter today, because of Kawen, the next two chapters are very difficult to write, as for how difficult it is to write, you will know when you read it tomorrow.
