Chapter 88 The major awards are settled (today's first update)
Just before the Heat team flew to Philadelphia, the NBA has announced all the regular season awards.

As expected, the "Best Sixth Man" was still won by Wang Dalin. Among all the votes, 58.8% of the first choice voted for him.

Ranked second is Aaron McGee of the 76ers, who got 25.5% of the first-choice votes; third is Tim Thomas of the Bucks, who only got 14.2% of the first-choice votes.

Wang Dalin has already won the best rookie award before. In fact, many people think that he is unlikely to win the best sixth man award. After all, he is only a rookie, and he is also a Chinese player... American people are so xenophobic most of the time!
不过本赛季美国本土的替补球员实在有点不争气，比如麦基场均11.6分4.1篮板5助攻，而托马斯是12.6分4.1篮板1.8助攻……跟王大林的13.4分6.8篮板5.3助攻相比确实差了些。

Moreover, Wang Dalin's performance in the playoffs was even more amazing, like a superstar. Although these performances had nothing to do with the regular season, sports reporters and TV commentators would definitely be affected a lot when voting.

I have to say that most of the time people are still impressed...

The first team of the best rookie team is Wang Dalin, Mark Jackson, Kenyon Martin, Mike Miller and Darius Miles, and the second team is Maurice Peterson, Courtney Alexander, Marcus Fizer, Chris Mihm and Eddie House.

That's right, House, who was impossible to be selected for the All-Rookie Team, was selected for the second team, mainly because Hardaway is aging day by day, and Anthony Carter is really not very good, so Riley gave House more opportunities to play this season.

豪斯这厮也算争气，他本赛季常规赛场均上场13分钟左右就可以得到7.1分1.9篮板2.2助攻0.9抢断，确实配得上入选最佳新秀二阵。

Not to mention the 2000 class, which is a well-known draft year, even in other years, his performance like this is not bad among rookies.

The first team selected for the best team are Shaq O'Neal, Tim Duncan, Chris Webber, Allen Iverson and Jason Kidd; the second team members are Dikembe Mutombo, Vince Carter, Kevin Garnett, Kobe Bryant and Tracy McGrady; the third team members are David Robinson, Karl Malone, Dirk Nowitzki, Ray Allen and Gary Payton.

In fact, Kobe's performance this season is definitely worthy of being selected for the best team. However, Iverson's popularity this season is too high. Kidd has also won the assists leader for three consecutive years.

Moreover, the Lakers already have O'Neal selected to the best team. If Kobe is also included, the sports reporters and TV commentators who voted will feel uncomfortable... Co-authoring everything belongs to your Lakers?
Shall we shout "Lakers Championship" in unison?

Therefore, even though this "young black Mamba" averaged 28.5 points, 5.9 rebounds, 5 assists and 1.7 steals per game in the regular season, it still can only rank second in the best team.

In addition, Nowitzki was selected to the best team for the first time, which also means that the NBA has gradually recognized him.

You know, during this period, everyone generally believed that Nowitzki was a softie, but he just behaved well?At the power forward position, besides Duncan, Garnett, Karl Malone and Webber this season, who else dares to say that they can compare with the "old driver"?
It does look a little soft when floating outside, but the "old driver" is really accurate, isn't it?
他本赛季场均21.8分9.2篮板2.1助攻1.0抢断1.2盖帽，投篮命中率47.8%，三分命中率38.7%，罚球命中率83.8%，尤其是他场均出手三分4.8次命中1.8球，在这个年代绝对是NBA联盟大个子球员中的一朵奇葩！
(Wang Dalin: Putting it this way, it seems that I am also such a weirdo? What’s wrong with shooting too many three-pointers?)

The members of the best defensive team are Duncan, Garnett, Kidd, Mutombo and Payton; the members of the second team are Bruce Bowen, PJ Brown, Kobe Bryant, Doug Christie and O'Neal.

In fact, sports reporters and TV commentators obviously underestimated O'Neal's defensive strength. With his defensive effect in the game, he should definitely be selected for the first team of the best defensive team.

But everyone obviously made the mistake of impression flow again. It is probably because O'Neal's power on the offensive end is too strong, so they subconsciously think that his defense is not as good as "Uncle Mu".

Mutombo was not only selected to the first team of the best defensive team, he was also elected to the best defensive player of the season.His defense is really good, but the defensive performance he played with the 76ers this season is not entirely his own credit.

Under the defensive system created by Larry Brown, and the team has outside defenders such as Snow and Hill, the difficulty of "Uncle Mu" guarding the inside is far less difficult than people imagined.

O'Neal is different. He can be said to support the entire inside line alone in the Lakers. He is the most powerful core on both the offensive and defensive ends.

The most improved player award was taken away by McGrady. He can be said to have no rivals for this award.

毕竟上赛季他在猛龙队时场均才15.4分6.3篮板3.3助攻，本赛季来到魔术队当了老大，场均数据如井喷一般飙升到了26.8分7.5篮板4.6助攻……这进步的幅度，实在是太大了！

McGrady got 59.68% of the votes, followed by Peja of the Kings. He averaged 20.4 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game this season... He is already at the All-Star level in terms of average data and performance on the field, but he can only bow down when he meets McGrady.

The best coach was won by Larry Brown, which is not surprising at all.

The 76ers had an excellent record of 56 wins and 26 losses in the regular season this season, ranking first in the Eastern Conference. Everyone knew that Larry Brown would definitely win this award.

Finally... the most valuable award, the "Most Valuable Player of the Regular Season", also known as the MVP, was indeed won by Iverson.

Iverson has indeed performed almost perfectly this season, except for a slightly lower shooting percentage, it can be said that he has no weaknesses.

He was often targeted by opponents on the defensive end, not only because of his short height, but also because of his defensive strength. However, the defensive system built by Larry Brown covered up this shortcoming of Iverson very well.

As for the offensive end... The "answer" during this period is almost the most powerful perimeter killer in the league.

仅就这个赛季，“答案”就在常规赛里17次砍下单场得分40+，其中还有2次单场得分50+，单场得分25分以上更是多达53场。

If the "Black Mamba" hasn't figured out the way he should go at this time, and Garnett is a representative of comprehensive performance, then Iverson's game style is the ultimate offense... Gorgeous and practical!
……

When the Heat team arrived in Philadelphia, it was after 5:20 pm on May [-]. The Heat players had basically returned to their rooms to rest, but the coaching staff gathered in Riley's room.

The Heat have lost to the 76ers four times in the regular season, and they are really afraid of this opponent...
