Chapter 296 Season Summary
This summer's summer vacation has officially begun, but the Lakers team is in full swing. Everyone is busier than during the season.

Although they were eliminated, Lakers fans and outside media around the world did not blame Kevin Li and Big Eyebrow much.

After all, it is exciting enough to reach the Western Conference Finals and fight to the tiebreaker with last year's championship Nuggets.

What's more, Li Kaiwen is still young and this is only his first season.

In the eyes of Lakers fans, Jokic and the Nuggets are like the assassin Isaiah Thomas and his bad boy army who stood in front of Jordan.

All Lakers fans believe that the Nuggets can only win the championship at noon in the future.

Because sooner or later, they will be overthrown by the Lakers led by Kevin Li!
After the Western Conference Finals, the Lakers held an all-member press conference to summarize the season.

The protagonist of this conference is undoubtedly Li Kaiwen, who has won awards and won awards since he first joined the league this year.

The first is the Best Rookie, which has been announced before and was picked up by Li Kaiwen without any suspense.

Trivia, although the Lakers are the biggest team in NBA history, before Kevin Li, only one player in their history has won the Rookie of the Year.

In the 1958-1959 season, it was won by Elgin Baylor with the Minneapolis Lakers.

In other words, since the Lakers moved to Los Angeles, their own draft has not won the Rookie of the Year award.

Even better than Magic Johnson or Kobe Bryant!
This year, even if the top pick is a historical rookie, Bunyama Yama, the best rookie will still be taken away by Kevin Li, the last pick in the second round with the No. 30 pick!
Unprecedented, Los Angeles is not big, and Kevin Li created a myth!
Wenbanyama, the strongest player in French Ligue [-] and the European unicorn who enjoyed great glory last summer, was stepped on by Li Kaiwen just one year later!
Wenbanyama was originally thinking that he averaged 22 points and 11 rebounds per game, but he was not opened up by Li Kaiwen.

Moreover, his Spurs have also reached third place in the Western Conference, and their record is not inferior to that of the Lakers. He still has a chance to compete for the best rookie selection.

Unexpectedly, he was blasted by Kevin Li during the election. Reporters across the United States and Canada claimed that he was an epoch-making player, but in the end they voted for Kevin Li.

It’s not that you’re not good enough, it’s that we are too picky!
And Li Kaiwen looked flawless and dazzling in front of this group of picky reporters!

Not only because of his excellent strength, but also because...

The rise of Kevin Li has given Xiao Hua and other NBA vested interests the hope of returning to the Asian (Chinese) market!

The Morey incident caused China to boycott the NBA for a long time.

Later, although they used their sincerity and unexpectedly joined forces with the "Kneeling Boys" from China to cooperate with others and allowed NBA games to be broadcast live again in China, the league's influence continued to decline, and its annual revenue continued to plummet.

Not to mention the revenue compared with the Yao Ming era, even compared with the Yi Jianlian era, the gap is quite large.

Finally, China has produced a new star whose strength, appearance, and playing style are extremely dazzling. Of course, if you can praise him, you must praise him!
Compared with China's 13 billion market, how many towns and counties do you have in France?
Wenban just hated the Rookie of the Year vote.

Li Kaiwen was naturally selected for the All-Rookie Team. It is worth mentioning that at the center position, Li Kaiwen's younger brother, George Shelby, was also successfully selected!
Wen Ban entered the NBA with such a big gimmick, but he only got a power forward position on the All-Rookie Team.

But compared with the honors announced later, the rookie lineup is not worth mentioning for Li Kaiwen.

Because the All-Defensive Team was announced a few days later, people were shocked to find that...Li Kaiwen was actually on the All-Defensive First Team list!
Yes, he squeezed out Smart and became the point guard candidate in the defense!
Everyone's jaws dropped in shock. Only then did they remember that this Chinese boy was able to start the starting lineup at the beginning of the season only because of his suffocating defense!

As a result, Li Kaiwen became the first player in the entire NBA history to be selected to the All-Defensive First Team in his rookie season!

Stronger than legends such as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Olajuwon, Admiral, and Duncan, they only made the defensive second team in their rookie seasons!

No one expected that this record would eventually be broken by a defender.

What's more, he's a yellow man!

Under normal circumstances, it takes a period of practice for defenders to gain a foothold on the defensive end.

Especially now, the defenders in the small ball era are becoming more and more abnormal, and scoring high points is as easy as drinking water.

Even players like Payton and Smart who won dpoy as point guards had their defensive abilities taken a long time to develop by the team.

But Li Kaiwen relied on his height of 1 meters, wingspan of 96 meters, abnormal strength, and "death winding" skills to successfully create history!

For the guard position, Li Kevin's competitors are Smart, Caruso, Holiday and others.

Li Kaiwen's defense is obviously not inferior to those two. Another key reason why he can squeeze out Smart is that in the matchup between the two, he directly defeated Smart on the offensive end, and in The defense limited him very well.

You failed to guard the opponent, but the opponent guarded you, so it is obvious who to defend.

Fans still reached the peak of pleasure after seeing Li Kaiwen being selected into the defense and making history. However, they never expected that this kid Li Kaiwen was so bad.
Later, after announcing the best lineup, he made the fans climax again.

The wave has not subsided, and another wave is coming!
The day after being selected for the All-Defensive Team, Li Kaiwen was named to the Best Team of the Year.

Although it is only a third formation, it is already very impressive.

After all, Curry, Harden and others are still there, and people still have inertia when making selections.
But faced with the complaints from many people after the best lineup was announced, Li Kaiwen didn't take it to heart.

At the Lakers press conference, he said humorously:
"Anyway, I was selected for the best team. It doesn't matter whether I am first or second or third."

"I will work harder next season and strive to be selected for next year's best team so that everyone will forget about him in Golden State!"

Selected as an All-Star starter, won Rookie of the Year, Rookie Challenge MVP, Skills Challenge Champion, Best First Defense, All-NBA Third Team, several Player of the Week, Rookie of the Month...

Kevin Li's series of dazzling honors directly caused an earthquake-like sensation in Los Angeles.

This guy, no matter how you look at it, is starting to become a superstar!
