Chapter 125: Chapter 122: Okafor's Sorrow

Once the game was over, Okafor was suddenly at a disadvantage in the Rookie of the Year race.

Although he produced almost the same data as Wayne, Okafor is now labeled as a garbage time king.

Wayne, on the other hand, is considered to be a positive and serious young man.

To put it bluntly, your stats are nothing compared to Wayne's.

There is one thing to say, the best rookie award, most of the time the comparison is indeed data.

After all, they are all rookies, and basically can't lead the team to achieve any results, so the data is simply compared.

But this is not without exceptions.

比如00-01赛季，97年二轮秀马克.杰克逊（并非那个教练）推迟三年后首次登陆NBA，能够拿下13.2分7.5个篮板1.5次盖帽的数据。

But the rookie of the year was averaged 11.9 points and 4 rebounds by Mike Miller.

This is mainly because Miller played all 82 games at the time, while Jackson only played 48 games and was reimbursed for the season.

Another example is the 94-95 season, Grant Hill and Kidd shared the best rookie, the 99-00 season Francis and Brand shared the best rookie and so on.

There are special circumstances, but in general, the best rookie still can't escape the framework of comparison data.

But now, when the gold content of Okafor's data is questioned, will there be another special situation of incompleteness?

In this era when player data has not yet blown out, it is still very fragrant for a rookie to average a double-double per game.

But Wayne is indeed strong, and he can be said to have won this head-to-head confrontation.

The selection of the best rookie has become confusing again.

Okafor is uncomfortable. The record of 14 consecutive double-double games has been broken, and he will be questioned in various ways after the game.

If Wayne doesn't come back, everything will be calm, and when Wayne comes back, everything will happen!

It is simply a disaster.

Okafor now has a headache when he mentions Wayne.

The beautiful youth I gave you is gone, and you want to disrupt my beautiful future?

You are a real dog.

But it doesn't matter, next, Okafor can continue to make double-doubles like crazy.He would like to see how Wayne can compete with me for the best rookie under his aggressive double-double offensive!

Well, Okafor quickly regained his confidence.

The struggle between him and Wayne has just begun, and it is not certain who will have the last laugh.

And with Wayne's temper, maybe he will be suspended for another 15 games.

If Wayne is suspended again, Okafor feels that his best rookie will definitely be stable.

Okafor's logic is correct. If Wayne is suspended for more than a dozen games, it will indeed be difficult for him to win the best rookie.

But Honey is confident in Okafor, and he doesn't even know his opponent very well.

Although Wayne established his status as the God of War in the Battle of Auburn Hills, he was not a grumpy player, but his fighting power was too fierce, which created the illusion of grumpiness.

Artest is the one who is really grumpy. Because of the mental illness caused in childhood, he can't control his emotions.

Of course, the problems that have plagued the Pacers for so long have now been resolved.

For some reason, Artest's illness healed as soon as he saw Big Ben and Wayne, and his emotions could be controlled

Therefore, it is basically impossible for Okafor to expect Wayne to fight brainlessly again.

Wayne is still able to control his emotions. He doesn't beat people easily, but if he hits someone, he will definitely beat him violently.

But now, few people in the entire league would dare to use force with Wayne.Therefore, it is not easy to fight again.

In addition, the referee is also very sensitive to Wayne now, which reduces the probability of conflicts even more.

I didn't see that just a few days ago when Stoudemire was about to have an attack, the referee just graduated a sixth offender and let him go.

Didn't see Okafor just swearing, the referee gave the situation a T to control the situation.

Don't give them a chance to be beaten at all.

Okafor's road to the best rookie is more difficult than he expected.

Okafor is doing a good job here, but Wayne has already obtained a real benefit - the badge upgrade essence.

The last time he got this thing, Wayne upgraded his "Restricted Area Deterrence" to silver.

This time, Wayne used it on "tough defense".

Obviously, this badge is about halfway from the upgrade and the progress bar needs to be filled, but as soon as the essence is added, it immediately flashes white.

Badge: Tough Defense (Silver).Effect: Slightly increase the effect of close defense, and slightly increase the impact of close defense on the ball holder.

Now it's all right, I'm afraid my strength can be rounded up again.

Comfortable, broke Okafor's consecutive double-double record, and upgraded the badge.

Next, just wait until you get all the reward clauses of the sneaker contract and 55 wins!

In the final game of 2004, the Pacers beat the New Jersey Nets 96-83 on the road.

Kidd scored 11 assists and 10 rebounds in the whole game, but only 4 points were recorded, saying that if you don't attack, you don't attack.

Payton, who is nearly 40 years old, scored 13 points today.

Although Carter and Jefferson played well, they couldn't hold back O'Neal's 31 points in the paint and Foster's explosive 16+16.

Wayne returned to the sixth man position today, because Jermaine and Foster played well, so he played a little soy sauce, with 12 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists.

But don't worry, Foster's outbursts are only occasional.Most of the time, the inside still has to look at Wayne and O'Neal.

The Pacers won a big victory, and the Nets' record became 10 wins and 18 losses.

Well, as a team with high expectations, the Nets are indeed surprising.

With Kidd, Carter and Jefferson three star players, but can not achieve results.

Of course, the reason for this is not what Wayne needs to analyze.

Basketball is not a game where 1+1 must equal 2.

After walking in 2004, Wayne changed from an NCAA player to an NBA player, and the Pacers have become very different from the original history.

Since the return of Wayne and Artest, the Pacers have won a wave of four consecutive victories.

The current record of 17 wins and 11 losses doesn't look so eye-catching anymore.

After the game, O'Neal, the best player in the game, smiled very happily: "We are driving on the right track at high speed, I feel great, and I think we can do better!"

Little O'Neill's smile has been increasing recently.

After the conflict between him and Artest was gradually weakened, the competitive state also improved significantly.

At this time, some malicious media felt that it was time for the Pacers to suffer.

This has only won 4 games in a row, have you forgotten the pain of losing 7 games in a row?

Then, in Game 2005 in [-], the Pacers shut everyone up.

On January 1, the Pacers played against the Milwaukee Little Elks, who are currently 4 wins and 9 losses at home.

Elks guard Michael Reid was left alone by the best defensive player Ron Artest today, and Jermaine O'Neal even blasted the inside combination of Pachulia and true yin and yang leader Joe Smith.

O'Neal, who played with confidence and form, was like a magic soldier today. He made 28 of 18 shots and made 25 free throws. He scored a game-high 55 points!

It was just over a month since the last time he refreshed his career-high scoring record, and he raised his career-high scoring record to another level.

Wayne was by Xiao Ao's side at that time, and he was really scared to death.

What is an MVP candidate? It's an MVP candidate!

In the beginning, O'Neill didn't make so many free throws, but the Bucks couldn't prevent it.

Then in the third and fourth quarters, Pachulia and Joe Smith frantically went to pull O'Neill, hoping to interrupt his offensive rhythm with fouls.

Facts have proved that the two goods are completely self-defeating.

As a result, O'Neill punished them with 25 of 19 free throws.

With 55 points, Pachulia and Joe Smith were forcibly headlined.

For the first time watching a player score 50+ points live, Wayne still felt quite shocked.

It's not just a matter of level, you can't take so many shots if you are not physically fit.

It seems that for the next upgrade, I have to increase my physical fitness somewhat.

116 to 99, the Pacers who started off defense scored almost 120 points, which is outrageous.

Due to O'Neill's outstanding performance, Wayne only scored 14 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks today.

But to be honest, it's already pretty good, it's just that Xiao Ao's light is too dazzling.

So far, the Pacers have won five consecutive victories.O'Neill's big explosion gave the Pacers a good start to the new year.

It wasn't until January 1, when the Pacers lost to the Spurs in San Antonio, that this wave of five-game winning streak was ended.

I have to say that the Spurs' record of 26 wins and 7 losses so far this season is really strong, and their strength is more balanced than the Suns.

Duncan, who is not yet 30 years old, has tidied up Xiao Ao very well.

But losing to a strong team like the Spurs is not shabby.The Pacers' 5 wins and 1 loss in this wave can be regarded as allowing them to return to the ranks of the Eastern Conference.

After the game, the NBA All-Star voting officially opened.

This time of year, voting sites are very popular.

According to the current voting rules of the NBA All-Star Game, a total of 120 players will become All-Star candidates and have the right to be voted by fans.

This is very different from the direct open voting of all players in the league after 2016.

To put it bluntly, if you don't have a player on the shortlist, no matter how popular you are, you have no possibility of becoming an All-Star.

And the day before the voting started, Emeka Okafor was delighted to find that she was actually on the list of candidates!

You know, even Howard, the No. 04 pick in [-], has not entered the list of candidates.

"This" Okafor is happy today. With his popularity in college and his ability to record consecutive double-doubles, isn't it appropriate to be an All-Star in the Eastern Conference?

If you want to say that in the West, there are Duncan, Hardt, Dirk, Marion, and Stoudemire strikers.

But in the East, hey, maybe it is really possible to be an All-Star in his rookie season!

Who is the most popular forward in the Eastern Conference?

James.

But this year, James, like last year, participated in the All-Star voting as a guard.

So let me ask, besides Carter, how many popular forwards are there in the Eastern Conference?

Aged Hill?Jamison, who doesn't have a high sense of presence?The Pacers' little Ao?Pierce with a poor record?

You can't even fight!

So why can't I get involved in the position of the All-Star player in the Eastern Conference?

Okafor took a good night's sleep, preparing to see the results of the first round of voting in a few days.

If he can make it to the All-Star, even if he is a substitute, he should be the best rookie.

"Wait!" Okafor suddenly woke up from the bed, restarted the computer and looked at the voting website for the All-Star Game.

Then, his mood suddenly became bad.

Because he discovered that Wayne also appeared on this candidate list.

Judging from Yao Ming's experience in defeating the Sharks in the first year to become the starting center of the Western Conference All-Stars

Okafor silently shed sad tears, why are you everywhere!

　The third update is here, today there are 1 words, plus -1 words.Come here first, let me take a moment to sort out the outline of what follows.
