Pick Westbrook

Chapter 100 Can Cultivate a Hair

This result made Li Lai very dissatisfied.

Although he also agrees that Rose has better talent than Westbrook, the strength of the players and the attribution of awards should be reflected by the results of the team and their own data, not by future talent.

Otherwise, the future wolfberry brother Andrew Wiggins is known as the combination of James + Durant, and the minimum minimum is Jordan, so shouldn't he have won prizes and softened his hands since kindergarten?

"Since those media reporters are still unwilling to rank Westbrook first, then I will try to see if a Westbrook with more exaggerated statistics can slap them in the face. "

Seeing Li Lai who was very angry, Tai Lun also sighed helplessly.

Who makes Milwaukee just a border town, and Chicago is the pinnacle of Mr. Joe's career. In terms of media attention, the Bulls are much better than the Bucks, so those reporters are naturally impressed by Rose's performance , On the other hand, Westbrook seems a lot stranger.

"In addition to the best rookie, Artest's ranking in DPOY has also risen to third place, and Dragic's ranking in the best sixth man is also third."

"It's just that neither of them have much hope of winning awards this season."

“前者是因为这赛季出现了一个场均21分14篮板3盖帽1抢断的霍华德，后者是因为独行侠队的杰森-特里打出了现象级的表现，场均20分3篮板3助攻。”

For these two awards, the whole world has already guessed the results as early as halfway through the regular season.

Warcraft Howard's defensive efficiency this season can be called a terrifying level. The block data is far ahead of the data master Marcus Camby, and the value of 95 in the high-level defensive efficiency is even higher than that of No.2 Garnett. 98.

Jets Jason Terry's performance is also impeccable, his data is difficult even for most starters, far ahead of the second contender for this award, averaging 16 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists per game Manu Ginobili.

So with Dragic's data of 14 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists, it is indeed a bit worse to compete for this award.

"In other words, the only regular season award that the Bucks have a chance to win this season is Westbrook's best rookie ROY."

Hammond naturally hopes that the Bucks can win some awards, because this can prove that the team's team building ideas and operations are correct, and it can also show the team's potential in the future.

Whether it is attracting players to join in the off-season or establishing a team culture to form an influence, these can provide effective help.

Li Lai naturally understands the key here. He also really wants to build the Bucks into a team with a championship culture, so Westbrook must fight for this award.

After finishing talking about these issues, Hammond said another, lighter matter.

Villanueva plans to organize a dinner and invite players and management to go.

Li Lai frowned slightly puzzled.

There has always been an unwritten rule in the NBA, that is, when a player signs his first big contract in his life, he must find a way to celebrate, and most of the people he invites are relatives, friends and teammates And those people who have helped him the most in his life.

This is like a high school student who will entertain guests after being named on the gold list, the reason is the same.

It's just that few coaches and front office attend such a party.

One is because such an occasion is too cheerful, and the presence of coaches and management will make such a gathering a bit restrained. Second, most of the players in the team will participate in such a gathering, and it is inevitable that there will be some meat and wine and even some indulgence.

Think about guys like Popovich and Phil Jackson, watching their players dance around a pipe with a group of girls in the audience, do you applaud or don't you applaud?
This is why most coaches and management decline, out of sight out of mind.

"So, you didn't refuse?" Li Lai said dissatisfied.

Hammond was stunned and puzzled, "It stands to reason that the team management is indeed best not to go, but don't you just like this kind of tune?
So I did not hesitate to agree for you. "

Li Lai coughed lightly, took a deep breath and said, "Are you afraid that you want to go?"

Hammond raised his stomach undisguisedly, and raised the corners of his mouth, so what if he looked like he was saying yes?
Holloway, who was on the side, saw that the two were extremely speechless, covering the important place with the file folder with both hands, turned around and prepared to leave.

Li Lai continued: "It's better to refuse for me."

Holloway stopped, and Hammond opened his eyes wide and said, "Aren't you kidding me, man?

A group of girls dancing around a pipe, why don't you go? "

Li Lai repeated this sentence, and then chose to refuse.

The Bucks are now hitting the key point of the playoffs, and the Cavaliers have already locked the playoffs ahead of time, so there is not much or even urgent left for the Bucks.

Of course, there is almost no suspense about making the playoffs with the current results of the Bucks, but the ranking determines the home court advantage and which team will play in the playoffs. In terms of restraint or tactical restraint, the Bucks should try to take more initiative.

Li Lai hopes to put more energy on the team at this critical moment.

Hammond said with a sad face: "This is not possible, because Villanueva's mother would like to see you."

Li Lai was startled, thinking of the great mother who had worked so hard to raise Villanueva.

It must have been a lot of hard work and sweat for Villanueva to grow up from such a difficult environment of teasing and exclusion, and to train him into the NBA, so Li Lai should not let this great mother disappointed.

Seeing that Li Lai was already hesitating, Hammond added embellishments and said, "I heard that his mother is still a beauty."

Li Lai, a crotch kid, likes mother-level beauties the most.

Li Lai changed his mind and nodded affirmatively, "Then I'll go."

Holloway pouted at the side, her eyes were full of contempt, and then she said quietly, "He's going too."

Lakeside estate in Milwaukee, near Lake Michigan.

Li Lai, who came to the beach, knew for the first time that Milwaukee had another name, which was "a beautiful place by the lake".

Milwaukee is indeed beautiful when it is not snowing, and of course some people think that it is the most beautiful when it snows.

At the Lakeside Manor, Villanueva warmly received all the visiting guests. When he saw the three of Li Lai, he couldn't help but send a big hug and introduced Li Lai to all his friends.

"This is my coach, Lee Cole, and he's the best coach in the world."

Villanueva's mother, Anne, came out of another room soon after hearing the movement.

She is a woman whose height is no more than 160cm, but must weigh more than 150kg.

Holloway couldn't help shaking her mouth, and Li Lai also looked at Hammond with a mentally retarded expression: Is this the beauty you mentioned?

Hammond and Annie hugged and greeted for a long time. If there were no outsiders around now, I really don't know how long they would hug each other.

Villanueva couldn't help reminding: "Mom, the one next to me is my coach."

Anne came back to her senses, stared at Hammond with fierce eyes, and then shouted hoarsely in a rough manly voice: "What are you doing! I'm eating my old lady's tofu! You stinky rascal! I'll settle the score with you later!"

Then Annie was ready to hug Lilai again.

Li Lai quickly dodged, and then exchanged a few pleasantries.

Anne told Li many stories about Villanueva when she was a child, being thrown pebbles, called a monster, and even took off her clothes and made fun of her in the street.
The more Annie talked, the more she cried, and Hammond naturally turned his eyes red when he heard it, and patted Annie's shoulder comfortingly.

This big fat man is fraternity.

After attending the party, Li Lai was about to say goodbye and leave. During the period, he asked Westbrook, Yi Jianlian, Artest and other Bucks players not to have too much fun.

But Hammond didn't intend to leave no matter what, so Li Lai and Holloway were the only ones who left in the end.

Holloway wanted to take a walk around Lake Michigan, and Li Lai naturally followed.

"Nights in Milwaukee are always beautiful."

Holloway stepped on the beach with her bare feet, and the lake water came up and skipped her ankles, which made the little girl laugh happily. is good looking.

Li Lai admired the beautiful scenery and said, "If you have a chance to see beauty, you can see it more."

Holloway withdrew her beautiful smile and shook her head and said, "It's not that easy, there are endless things to do every day, endless worries, and a boss who only knows how to squeeze employees."

Li Lai was very embarrassed. The wages of Holloway and Hammond had always been the lowest in the same position in the league.

Holloway didn't stop at this matter, but opened her hands and closed her eyes and smiled again: "I have a dream, that is, people in the whole world will no longer get sick, and everyone can live well and live a long life." How about you?"

Li Lai was silent for a while and said, "I want to be the strongest head coach in NBA history."

On March 3, the Bucks challenged the Detroit Pistons away.

Unlike the previous life when the buzzer entered the Eastern Conference playoffs this season, the Pistons are currently ranked ninth in the Eastern Conference due to the super performance of the Bucks and the strong rise of the Bulls, and they still maintain a tie with the eighth-ranked Philadelphia 76ers. With a winning distance of 4 games, they still have a theoretical possibility of entering the playoffs.

So it is also different from the scene where Iverson was hidden in the snow in the previous life, because the Pistons are now in urgent need of sprinting to the playoffs to get the last ticket, so now Iverson is leading the game as a substitute for the Pistons.

When it comes to this matter, Li Lai has a special right to speak, because the fact that Iverson was hidden in the snow at the time made all Chinese fans furious.

The Pistons selected the 07th overall rookie in 15, the prince Rodney Stuckey.

Although in his rookie season, Rodney Stuckey only averaged 8 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists per game, but this was achieved in only 19 minutes of playing time. If converted to 35 minutes, This figure may have to double.

Moreover, Rodney Stuckey is a typical combo player with excellent control and passing skills and various offensive methods. He can not only create offensive opportunities through breakthroughs, but also create mid-range shooting opportunities through emergency stop jump shots, and can also pull outside. Three-point shooting, coupled with a good height of 196cm, and extremely exaggerated physical talent, the Pistons thought they had found a treasure, so they decided to strengthen Rodney Stuckey in the second year.

This is the decision of the Pistons to trade veteran Billups.

After all, with this FMVP and the absolute leader of the team, Rodney Stuckey has no room for growth at all.

Then there was the Nuggets-Pistons deal that shocked the league, and Iverson and Billups were swapped.

Originally, Iverson thought that the Pistons traded him to hit the playoffs and chase the championship. After all, they have reached the Eastern Conference Finals for three consecutive years, but they fell at the gate of the Finals every time.

The defensively strong Pistons really need someone who can open up the situation for the team on the offensive end.

Iverson thought that person was himself.

But in the end, the Pistons traded for Iverson to play him as a substitute!
It's just what kind of character Iverson is, rebellious, street bomber, how could he be a substitute.

The Pistons, who couldn't beat Iverson, could only make Hamilton aggrieved and go to the bench. This also made the entire Pistons players extremely dissatisfied with Iverson, and it also laid a hidden danger for the conflict in the locker room behind.

Then began to act.

The Pistons, which also made it to the Eastern Conference finals last season, have failed to even make the playoffs, ranking last in the Eastern Conference, despite the fact that only Billups and Iverson were swapped.

Angrily, the management of the Pistons no longer gave Iverson any face, and they couldn't even lead the team to win. What face do you want?
That's why Iverson is now forced to be a substitute.

"The Pistons head coach Michael Curry gave Rodney Stuckey a lot of tactical status this season, and he was the absolute core of the team's tactics every time he played in the fourth quarter.

Therefore, Iverson's ball possession ratio has dropped directly from 29% last season to 20%, which is also the main reason for his extremely low average data. "

Tyronn Lu looked at the data and talked about the key point of the problem.

Iverson averaged 18 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists per game this season, but the number of shots reached a career low of 14 per game.

Last season, Iverson was the league's third-leading scorer, averaging 27 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists per game, second only to James and Kobe.

Who would have thought that after just one offseason, Iverson would have a cliff-like decline without injury?

"This is unscientific! It can only show that all members of the Pistons are rejecting Iverson."

Li Lai agreed with this point.

Especially the coach named Michael Curry, at first glance he thought it was a combination of two superstars, but in fact he was just a sloppy bag that disappeared after only one season in the NBA.

The Pistons used such a head coach to coach the team. They also obviously gave up on the championship and chose to concentrate on training Rodney Stuckey, a rookie.

But what level of player is Rodney Stuckey?
At best, a good starter, not even an All-Star player, he can use it to develop a hair.
