NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal

Chapter 860 Announcement and Repercussions of the First Batch of Awards

The fierce battle for the playoffs was in full swing, and at this time, the first batch of awards for the league came out.

The first to be announced are the best head coach, best general manager and best defensive player.

For the best head coach, there are mainly two candidates this year, and both are in the West.

One is Portland Trail Blazers head coach Terry Stotts, and the other is Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr.

The reason is simple, because both the Trail Blazers and the Warriors have broken the Bulls' record of 72 wins this season. It is destined that the best head coach can only be selected from the two teams, and the rest are basically spectators.

The final vote was announced. Coach Terry won the best head coach with a total score of 393 points, narrowly beating Cole with 358 points.

This is also the third time he has been elected as the best head coach in four years, and he has gone further and further on the road of a generation of famous coaches.

Cole's loss is a bit embarrassing, but also a bit regrettable. If the 73-win Golden State Warriors hadn't met the 75-win Portland Trail Blazers, Cole would definitely be eligible to win, but it's a pity that the fleeting time is not good.

In the competition for the best general manager, Nell Orsi also defeated the general manager of the Warriors, Bob Myers, and successfully won the honor of the best general manager.

The reason is the same as above, the Trail Blazers have a better record!

After all, the general manager who is in charge of strategizing behind the scenes has been busy all summer in order to improve the team's record in the new season.

In this regard, no one can compare with the historic improvement of the Trail Blazers this season.

After seeing these two messages, Wang Zelin quickly sent congratulations to Coach Terry and Orsi.

"Coach, when we win the O'Brien Cup again this year, I'll kill you during the offseason!"

"Bai Fatty, get ready for the red envelope, we will ask you to receive it after winning the championship!"

Not long after he finished sending the text message, the league immediately announced the ownership of the best defensive player.

Several strong contenders for the best defensive player award this year are Wang Zelin of the Trail Blazers, Kawhi Leonard of the Spurs, Draymond Green of the Warriors and Hassan Whiteside of the Heat.

Due to the gap in record, Whiteside was out early, and the final competition came from Wang Zelin, Leonard, and Green.

After several rounds of voting, Wang Zelin got 61.65% of the first votes and 35.72% of the total votes, beating Leonard with 28% and Green with 17%, winning this honor for the third consecutive year.

至此，他成为了继08~09赛季、09~10赛季、10~11赛季的德怀特·霍华德之后，史上第二位连续三个赛季蝉联最佳防守球员的球员。

And this is not counted, the greater significance is that he won the best defensive player while winning the scoring title... What's more, he has been like this for two consecutive seasons.

This thing is a big hit with Niu 13!
In the long history of the NBA, there was only one person who was able to win the scoring champion and the best defensive player at the same time in a single season.

That's right, another hot damn man-Michael I'm Everywhere Jordan!
In the 1987-88 season of the last century, in the era when the black and white duo dominated the league, Michael Jordan, who debuted at the pinnacle, quickly became the strongest individual in the league, and in the last year of his rookie contract, that is, the 87-88 season.

It's not over yet, and he also won the All-Star MVP + Stealing King + Double Team in one go...

It was also from that time that Jordan, whose rookie contract was about to expire, gradually became No.1 in the league, rather than the pure scoring machine that the media had said in the past three seasons.

Now, not only did Wang Zelin achieve the feat of MVP+scoring champion+best defensive player last season, he successfully matched Jordan.

This season, he already has the two honors of scoring leader + best defensive player. He is only short of an MVP trophy. He will be able to surpass Jordan in the accumulation of Grand Slam honors in a single season and become the No. 1 in the history of the Grand Slam of Honor in a single season!
Will the third MVP trophy be far behind?
……

……

"Oh my god! During the rookie contract, he won the DPOY for three consecutive years, and he has caught up with the sparks. This is fucking... Are you sure it's not this 2K?"

"Upstairs, I'm not as Dior when I play 2K!"

"Don't talk about 2K, even if it's an online novel, I wouldn't dare to write like this, it's too... awesome, right?!"

"What's even more outrageous is that the King will still have a chance to compete for the MVP! As long as he wins another MVP, he will not only become the only player with three consecutive MVPs after Larry Bird, but also surpass Mr. Joe in the honor slam in a single season!"

"Hey, that's not right. Wang Zelin seems to be one steal away from Jordan. How can it be called a Grand Slam?"

"Don't go online, you guys upstairs, the construction site needs you... Why don't you let Jordan win the rebounding and blocking kings if a big center wants to talk about missing the steals king?"

"That's right, don't pay attention to this kind of bullshit. It seems that life is unsatisfactory, so you are barking here."

"Didn't you notice a terrible thing? When you compare the king with Jordan, doesn't it mean that he is already on the way to chase Jordan?"

"Ah, that makes sense..."

……

……

The news that Wang Zelin won the best defensive player for three consecutive years has spread, and the outside world immediately caused some turmoil.

Correspondingly, Wang Zelin's lineup for the MVP competition has also risen again, suppressing Curry, who just led the team to promotion and had a good response.

During the first round of the series, Curry averaged 33 points, 4 assists, 2 rebounds, 0.5 steals and 51 blocks per game. His shooting percentage was as high as 46%, and his three-point shooting percentage reached a terrifying [-]%.

Relying on the wonderful performance of the first round of the series, the voice of the outside world supporting Curry's MVP competition has also become louder and louder.

Unexpectedly, after the award for the best defensive player of the season was announced, under the media reports, countless fans once again felt the greatness of Wang Zelin.

Curry only started to rise in these two seasons. On the other hand, Wang Zelin has already embarked on a great path to compete for No. 1 in history.

This is a living legend!
Seeing this situation, the Trail Blazers officially teamed up with the Portland Weekly, Bleacher Report and several other media to start bragging about Wang Zelin's first-round series data.

Aren't you all talking about how strong Curry's performance is now, if that's the case, let's let you see what is really against the sky!

首轮系列赛，4场比赛下来，王泽林场均可以贡献38分15.8篮板5.3助攻5.3盖帽2抢断！

In the competition at the data level, whether it is basic data or so-called high-level data, Wang Zelin has thrown off the active players by more than one grade.

If you really want to boast about data, then sorry, none of you here can play it.
