Basketball starts with breathing

Chapter 237 I didn't expect this trophy to be so big 【Subscription】

The second game between the Bulls and the Pistons was held at the United Center in Chicago, and the situation was still one-sided, ending 103 to 79.

Bulls win a game.

Richardson had an average feel in this game, but the Bulls were still very easy to win. Lu Yu's advantage in this point was too great, and the Pistons had no choice but to pinch.

It's reminiscent of Jordan's battle with the Pistons Bad Boys when he was in the Bulls.

But obviously, the bad boy this time was not bad enough. Lu Yu played 32 minutes and scored 28 points, 13 assists, 6 rebounds and 4 steals. Except for no blocks, the data column was almost filled.

Artest and Miller contributed 20+, and they did a good job on the defensive end.

The Bulls not only played well in the starting lineup, but also had bright spots on the bench. The Pistons' defensive lineup was a bit underwhelming, and it was really not easy to rely on a Wallace to guard the basket.

Wallace's offense improved a bit, scoring 11 points and 16 rebounds, but other players hit average, and the rebounds did not translate into secondary points.

Coach Chrisley felt a little desperate. He tried a lot of defensive tactics and kept making personnel adjustments, but they just couldn't guard against Lu Yu, and being swept away was a high probability event.

On the other hand, the Bulls coach Cartwright is simply a spectator. He adjusts when the opponent calls a timeout or an official timeout.

After the second round and two games, the major awards of the regular season will be announced one after another.

Lu Yu caused a huge butterfly effect. The Bulls, which should have been the last in the Eastern Conference this season, became the upstart in the Eastern Conference, benefiting the players and coaches of the Bulls.

贾马尔·克劳福德场均21分钟砍下16分3.4个篮板4.9次助攻1.3次抢断，投篮命中率52%三分命中率37%。

Although the score is not enough, the record of the Bulls is here. He was also elected as the best sixth man for the first time, and started his Super 6 career in advance.

In fact, Trenton Hassell plays a bigger role on the bench, but his data is not as eye-catching as Crawford, and secondly, he was the main force in the first half of the season, and only played after Richardson came. Substitute, so did not make the big list.

Cartwright also defeated Pistons head coach Chris Rey to be elected as the coach of the year. If the Bulls did not meet the Pistons in the second round, Cartwright might have lost the competition, but the comparison of the two playoffs made it difficult for Cartwright. Everyone can see who is the better coach. It would be a bit embarrassing to award the best coach to Rixley at this time.

Although the best coach is selected according to the regular season record, the record of the Pistons is also one higher than that of the Bulls, but how many leagues have to evaluate the situation in the playoffs.

Besides, the gap between the second in the east and the third in the east is not big.

Jerry Krause also got his third best general manager honor.

He won the best general manager twice before, once signing head coaches Phil Jackson and Pippen, once signing Rodman, and bringing in Kerr, Kukoc and Harper.

This time, it was because after the draft, Elton Brand was unexpectedly replaced by Lu Yu, who was still a rookie.

Lu Yu's performance did not live up to his deal.

Lu Yu won the honor of Rookie of the Year by unanimous votes. He averaged 33 points, 25.4 assists, 9.7 rebounds, and 4.8 steals in 1.9 minutes per game. He ranks among the top three in the assists list and steals list. The data is too eye-catching. .

Even in the regular season MVP rankings, he ranked fifth.

This kind of achievement, through the history of the NBA for so many years, the rookie can get such a result, although it can't be said that there is no, but not many.

Magic averaged 18 points, 7.7 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 2.4 steals per game in his rookie season. His stats looked average, mainly because Magic was not assigned to play a point guard at the time. He played at the 2 position. , and the team boss at the time was Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, so his stats were affected.

Jordan averaged 28.2 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 5.9 assists per game in his rookie season. His score was higher than Lu Yu, but his assists were not as high as Lu Yu's. In this way, Lu Yu was simply the next basketball god.

In addition to winning the best rookie, Lu Yu was also selected for the best defensive team, but only the second team.

The best defensive team is: Payton, Kidd, Garnett, Duncan, Big Ben.

Defensive second team: Lu Yu, Kobe, Christie, Uncle Mu, Clifton Robinson.

The fans in this lineup may be relatively unfamiliar to Christie and Robinson. Both of them have experienced the era of hand-to-hand combat in the 90s. After entering the millennium, the tough guys in the 90s retired one after another, and they became the leader of the era.

Although they are also very old, they still contribute a lot on the defensive end, making offensive players a lot of trouble with their experience and various small moves.

Both veterans can be selected for the best defensive team for many years, but in the 90s they were unable to be selected at their peak.
So we can guess how many strong people were in the 90s?
Duncan won the regular season MVP for the first time in his career, averaging 25.5 points, 12.7 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 2.5 blocks per game, shooting 50.8%, and the team won 58 wins and 24 losses, second only to the Kings.

这一年本来韦伯场均24.5分10.0篮板4.8助攻1.7盖帽本来很有机会拿下常规赛MVP，可是韦伯中途大伤，54场的出场次数不足参与投票。

The team has achieved the first record in the league. Missing this opportunity, Webber also bid farewell to the MVP competition completely.

Second on the MVP list is Jason Kidd.

The Nets only achieved a record of 26 wins and 56 losses last season, ranking No. 12 in the Eastern Conference. However, with the addition of Kidd this season, they immediately achieved a record of 52 wins and 30 losses in the Eastern Conference.

Kidd averaged 14.7 points, 7.9 rebounds and 9.9 assists while shooting only 39.1% from the field.

Kidd, who averaged a few points, a few rebounds and a few assists per game, was really amazing.

People say that Lu Yu has a tendency to become the next Kidd, but Lu Yu's style of play is completely different from Kidd.

O'Neal, who averaged 27.2 points, 10.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.0 blocks per game, ranked third in the rankings.

As the Finals MVP, O'Neal has fully demonstrated his dominance in the interior this season.

But the league doesn't want to keep holding him.

Ranked fourth in the MVP rankings is McGrady, who has repeatedly staged scenes of riding the Savior alone, giving McGrady a lot of points.

The fifth is Lu Yu.

The sixth is Kobe.

The three of them are good brothers, but they are very good at sticking together.

The best team selection is also out.

All-NBA First Team: Shaquille O'Neal, Tim Duncan, Jason Kidd, Kobe Bryant, Tracy McGrady.

Seeing that they were both selected for a while, Lu Yu suddenly wanted to scold his mother.

You agreed to go to the white head together, but the two of you baked oil together.

Best Team Second Team: Dirk Nowitzki, Lu Yu, Allen Iverson, Chris Webber, Kevin Garnett.

All-NBA Third Team: DiCambe Mutombo, Steve Nash, Paul Pierce, Jermaine O'Neal, Gary Payton.

It is a pity that Lu Yu was not selected for the first team. According to the team's record and his data, it should be no problem to be selected for the first team. After all, Duncan was the fifth best team for the regular season MVP during his rookie period.

In addition to Duncan, six other players were selected to the first team in their rookie seasons.

They are:
Bob Pettit, 54 points and 55 rebounds in the 20.4-13.8 season. The MVP has not yet been established. At that time, there were only eight teams in the league, so a little better performance can be selected for the league's best team.

Elgin Baylor, 58 points and 59 rebounds in the 24.9-15 season, ranked third in the MVP list, and there are still only 8 teams in the league this year.

Wilt Chamberlain, 59 points and 60 rebounds in the 37.6-27 season, first on the MVP list. Before Chamberlain joined the Philadelphia Warriors, they were the last in the East. As a result, Chamberlain led the Warriors to 49 wins and 26 losses in the first year of joining the league. [-]'s good results, so this year Chamberlain was not only selected to the best team, but also beat Russell and Petit in the MVP competition to win this precious trophy!

奥斯卡·罗伯特森，60-61赛季30.5分10.1篮板9.7助攻，MVP榜单第五位！
Another rookie on the fifth MVP list was selected for the best team, Lu Yu felt unfair.

Wes Unseld, 68 points and 69 rebounds in the 13.8-18.2 season, first on the MVP list!
This is a big muscle... Forget it, the word tyrant is added and it is easy to be blocked.

上面几位都是远古时期大神，而在79-80赛季时联盟就已经拥有了22支球队，这个时候再想入选最佳一阵就很困难了，结果这一年拉里伯德横空出世以21.3分10.4篮板带领凯尔特人打出61胜21负联盟最佳战绩。

This year, Larry Bird was also named to the All-NBA First Team.

This season's MVP was won by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, followed by Dr. J Owen, the third Iceman George Gervin, and the fourth is Larry Bird!
Anyway, Lu Yu, who didn't make it to the best lineup for a while, felt a little bit at a loss.

Whether it is data or record, he is qualified. It can only be said that the league is too cautious because of his identity as a Chinese player. He wants the Chinese market and does not want to be scolded by American fans, so he can only stand up.

Fortunately, Lu Yu is still young, and he may have a chance to be selected for the best team in the future.

Lu Yu won the Rookie of the Year, the second team in defense, the second team in the best team, Jamal Crawford won the best sixth man, Cartwright won the best head coach, Jerry Krause won the best general manager manager.

The Bulls became the biggest winner in the entire league.

If it weren't for the second round of the game, the Bulls would definitely go out and have a big party, but now that the playoffs are not over, they can only make a low-key press conference.

At the press conference, all kinds of long guns and short guns filled the press booth. It can be seen that the media attaches great importance to this press conference. Apart from Crawford, Cartwright and Claus, Lu Yu is the one who attracts the media's attention the most.

However, Lu Yu is also very good at being a man, so he left the opportunity for reporters to ask questions to the head coach and general manager.

After they answered satisfactorily, they began to accept the interview.

As a team reporter for the Bulls, Jenny Helen first stood up and said with a smile: "Lu. If you don't mind, tell me your acceptance speech."

Lu Yu glanced at Jenny, then glanced at his Rookie of the Year trophy again, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect this trophy to be so big, in general, I accomplished my goals for this season and was elected Rookie of the Year. As for the two second teams, it was a complete surprise. Here I would like to thank Manager Krause and Coach Cartwright. They brought me to the Bulls. Of course, I would also like to thank my teammates and Chicago. Beautiful city, and every fan in Chicago."

If he hadn't come to the Bulls and went to another team, maybe Lu Yu would have been able to play, but it would never have been so smooth.

For example, the Clippers, where even the owner is racially discriminated against, playing in that kind of team would be somewhat awkward, not to mention that although the Clippers are in Los Angeles, their exposure is far worse than the Lakers.

The Bulls are completely different, and Chicago is also one of the top cities in the United States. Whether it is exposure or popularity, as long as Lu Yu can win the game, he will definitely become a superstar.

After speaking, Jenny Helen looked at Lu Yu with caution.

She felt that Lu Yu was too good, not only excellent but also upright. She put a small note to Lu Yu several times and wanted to communicate in depth offline alone, but she never received a response from Lu Yu.

This made her more and more interested in Lu Yu.

In fact, he thought too much, but Lu Yu just didn't want to communicate with reporters more.

In his opinion, Jenny Helen can only be seen from a distance. Once molested, it is a bomb.

A reporter asked: "What is your next goal?"

Lu Yu smiled, glanced at head coach Cartwright not far away, and said solemnly, "Help the Bulls win the championship and win the finals MVP!"

Big news is coming!
All the reporters were shocked.

Jenny Helen was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Lu Yu to shout such a slogan.

"Do you think this goal can be achieved?" A reporter immediately asked.

"We are now in the second round of the playoffs and have a good chance of advancing to the Eastern Conference finals. As long as we can win all the games in the Eastern Conference, we can enter the finals."

Lu Yu said calmly: "It's all the way to the finals, if we don't even have the confidence to win the championship, then we're still doing shit, and I think our Bulls have the strength to reach the finals, and also have the strength to break up with the Western Champions. wrist."

If the only team in the East that has a chance to wrestle with the Lakers in the finals is the Bulls!

The inside line of other teams is only beaten by O'Neal, but the Bulls are different. The Bulls' inside line has beaten O'Neal.

Lu Yu dared to say this because he knew that this year's Western Conference champion was the Lakers.

Of course, the premise is that the Lakers can still beat the King. Don't because of the emergence of Lu Yu, the butterfly effect is so great that the Lakers' Western Championship will be lost.

The finals need gimmicks, lay the foundation in advance, and the league will make arrangements in advance.

This is also the reason why Cartwright allowed Lu Yukou to speak wildly.

That night, everyone in the Bulls flew to the Motor City. Pistons fans hoped that their team could setback the lofty goal of the Bulls, but the gap in strength is here, and some things will happen if they are not hopeful.

To respect objective facts.

After the two wars, the Bulls easily swept the Pistons 4-0 and took the lead in advancing to the Eastern Conference finals.

　There are few updates, so I don't ask for anything, just wait for me for two more days
