Chapter 102: The Western Conference is Coming!

One defense at a time.
Malone didn't expect that David Stern would really do this.

After he was surprised, he suddenly understood the reason.

First of all, his performance, statistics and record are very good.

Famous regular-season scenes and record-breaking performances.

Sweeping the Kings in the first round and crushing the Rockets in the second round are impeccable.

As the core of the Trail Blazers, it is hard to say if it is a center position, because there are too many super centers.

But above the power forward, there is no problem, Malone is worthy of one defense.

In addition, there is the fan factor.

As the big boss of the headquarters, David Stern can collect a lot of information.

He has a survey form of Malone's fan favorite on hand.

Although Malone is an insider, he is unexpectedly very popular with fans and attracts fans very much.

Capable and loved by fans, it is worth admiring!
David Stern gave him the honor directly, personally igniting a hot spot of public opinion.

"Can it attract more new fans if it is topical?"

Malone understood why.

After understanding it, Ma Long was still very excited, hugging Theron and kissing him.

Before interacting for a while, various calls came in, and some reporters I knew in the past wanted to interview.

Malone happily coped.

In the blink of an eye, some sports-related programs were all discussing this honor.

Before the discussion, the list of the best team and the best defensive team was posted.

In terms of the best lineup.

Third Team: Reggie Miller (Pacers), Mitch Richmond (Kings), Charles Barkley (Suns), Karl Malone (Jazz), O'Neal (Magic)

In the second half of the season after being traded to the Trail Blazers, benefiting from Malone's strong restraint, Tim Hardaway averaged 20+10 per game, which was quite eye-catching.

It's a pity that it was still affected by the first half of the season, the overall data was pulled down a lot, and it was a pity that it was squeezed out and lost.

If there is any controversy, the center will go.

Because many people think that O'Neal, who has only played 54 games this season, should not win three teams.

Ewing, Mourning, Mutombo and other super insiders were all squeezed out of the best team this time.

Compared with these veterans, O'Neal, who has only played for more than half a season, is naturally very controversial.

"Shaquille O'Neill won all three teams and was controversial."

Ma Long was speechless and thankful: "Fortunately, I am a power forward."

He will not be greatly affected by the competition of centers when he is a power forward.

But it will also affect some power forwards.

The postman is the most unlucky one.

Originally able to win a team, but now it is directly squeezed to the third team.

Ma Long's elbow gave him a bone fracture and missed many games.

Coupled with Ma Long's appearance as a soft egg, his reputation has been greatly affected.

The postman of 'Little Malone' could only cry without tears as he swaggered to three positions, without daring to lose his temper.

Second Team: Gary Payton (Sonics), John Stockton (Jazz), Grant Hill (Pistons), Shawn Kemp (Sonics), Hakeem Olajuwon (Rockets)

Then there's the first team.

The replay of David Stern was released directly on the show.

"I announce that the winners of the All-NBA First Team in the 1995-1996 season are Anfernee Hardaway of the Magic, Michael Jordan of the Bulls, Scottie Pippen of the Bulls, Malone of the Trail Blazers, and David Robinson of the Spurs!"

There is also vote data at the back.

The best team voting points position.

There are three positions: guard, forward, and center, regardless of point guard, shooting guard, and forward.

In addition to the center, the other two positions each have two first votes, two second votes and two third votes. The center position has a total of 1582 points, and the guard and forward have a total of 3164 points.

With 600 points, Malone overwhelmed Pippen's 400 points and ranked first among forwards. He was selected into the first team of the best regular season team this season!
The undisputed number one power forward!
Even if you have already watched it live, you will still be very excited to watch Ma Long again.

I feel that the little old man David Stern is very pleasing to the eye.

However, some of the guests on the show had different ideas from him.

A bunch of people think that Malone deserves a while.

Another group thought Malone was unworthy.

The two gangs quarreled for a few minutes, and the show began to replay the All-Defensive Team again.

First Team: Gary Payton (Sonics), Michael Jordan (Bulls), Scottie Pippen (Bulls), Malone (Blazers), David Robinson (Spurs)
Second Team: Mookie Blaylock (Hawks), Hawkins (Blazers), Clifford (Blazers), Dennis Rodman (Bulls), Hakeem Olajuwon (Rockets)

One defense at a time!
And it was still a rookie season, so he was selected for the first team and first defense!
unprecedented!

If we talk about the earth-shattering things Ma Long did before, there are also celebrities who have done it.

Then in the rookie season, one defense at a time is truly unprecedented, and it may also be unprecedented.

And Malone is still a rookie in high school.

The combination of these identities, even a white person would have to question it, not to mention that Ma Long is a foreigner, a "foreigner".

On the show, the guests of the two parties were so noisy that their brains were blown out.

But compared to these insiders, the fans reacted much better.

In the 90s, the vast majority, it can be said that 99% of the fans, were data parties and lovers of winning who only looked at the data.

As far as Malone's data is concerned, the fans feel that there is nothing wrong with taking a one-time defense.

Those who think there is something wrong can't name a candidate who can be compared with Malone in his rookie season.

Jordan is very good.

Duncan, who is still in college, looks like he can play at this level.

But... these two are not high school students!

Both are college educated.

Moreover, Jordan's rookie season still has many shortcomings.

Duncan is also hard to say.

Even those experts and fans who have been advocating Duncan are not sure that Duncan can really play the same performance as Malone.

The title of 'the strongest high school student in history' is thus firmly bound to Malone.

There are still controversies on the North American side, but the domestic side is just blowing their minds.

Ma Long's matter was directly broadcast on the news network.

These days, the news network really swept all the programs.

To put it bluntly, the last news broadcast was equivalent to letting 10 billion people remember you.

Malone thoroughly entered thousands of households.

That is to say, he is an iron orphan, or maybe at this time, thousands of 'relatives' will come out to borrow money to build relationships.

At such a lively time, on May 5, the second match of the second round began.

In the second game, with previous experience, the Trail Blazers did a better job of restricting Olajuwon.

The Rockets also figured out some ways.

But in the era when there were no rules such as defending for 3 seconds, the paint area was really impossible to attack.

In the past two days, Malone has not indulged in honors, and spent a lot of XP and time on replay games, focusing on studying Olajuwon's habits and styles of play.

With these preparations, Malone did a better job in flanking.

Olajuwon wants to explode, but such a double-team really can't explode.

If it was the peak of the previous two years, there was still a glimmer of chance.

But the 33-year-old dream is really impossible.

Olajuwon couldn't stand up, made 21 of 8 shots, and scored only 38 points and 17 rebounds with a 12% shooting rate.

Although Clyde Drexler was no longer undercover, he made 11 of 7 shots, including 4 of 3 three-pointers and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 19 points and 6 rebounds with a very high shooting percentage.

98:108.

The Trail Blazers are behind at home and won the Rockets steadily, leading 2-0 by a big score!

The Rockets are down at the Rose Garden!

On May 5, the Rockets, who came to the home court, exploded collectively.

Olajuwon changed his style of play, no longer pursued offense, but focused on creating damage, and devoted most of his energy to defense.

Taking advantage of the home whistle, in the first half alone, Olajuwon scored 8 free throws, and made 8 of 8 free throws. He made up his mind to learn from another bearded man with a big core in the future and use free throws as his main scoring weapon.

Clyde Drexler and Kenny Smith dreamed of returning to their peaks this time, shooting with just one hand, and the touch was so hot.

But the Rockets still lost.

Because Malone and Tim Hardaway are crazy.

Tim Hardaway made 22 of 14 shots, including 12 of 7 three-pointers, scoring 35 points and 10 assists!

The little beetle showed the strength of a future point guard in this game!

It was also Tim Hardaway's three-pointer, which kept biting the score and persisted until the fourth quarter.

In the fourth quarter, Olajuwon, who was consumed by Malone, had physical problems.

He decisively drank a bottle of energy drink, regained 50% of his physical strength, and started to take over the game. He scored 25 points violently in the fourth quarter and reversed the game in one fell swoop!

The Rockets have a chance to kill.

On the last offense, Olajuwon performed the last shot.

Olajuwon has all but gotten rid of Sabonis' mid-range shot.

The moment the basketball went out, a giant came and grabbed the basketball with one hand, shattering Olajuwon's dream.

Malone killed the Rockets' hopes!
101 to 100, the Trail Blazers narrowly beat the Rockets!
Malone played 48 minutes, scored 44 points, 14 rebounds and 5 blocks, broke the youngest record of 40 points in a single game in the playoffs, and also consolidated his superstar status.

Those who can score 20 points in the playoffs are all-stars, those who can score 30 points are top scorers, and those who can score 40+ in a single game are basically superstars.

If you can achieve 50+ points in a single game, then it is really history.

The NBA has a history of 50 years, and there have been 24 playoff games with 50+ in a single game.

Calculated, the average is less than once every two years.

Among them, Jordan got 7 of them alone.

With Malone's scoring ability and abnormal physical fitness, most people are still very optimistic about Malone.

Didn't you see that Olajuwon was almost a dead dog in the fourth quarter?

Before the final attack, Olajuwon was almost sleepwalking.

Completely drained by the young and energetic Malone.

I think that when Olajuwon was young, he was also a man of physical fitness, a well-known animal in the league, but now he has become like this, which makes many people sigh.

Olajuwon's poor physical condition also directly affected the fourth game.

The big dream turned into a dream in the fourth game. The rest of the Rockets couldn't stand up and were taken away cleanly by the Trail Blazers.

4 is better than 0!

The Trail Blazers swept the defending champion Rockets and advanced to the Western Conference Finals first!

At the moment when the final whistle sounded, Malone raised his arms and shouted, feeling that this series was really enjoyable.

It feels good to be able to play against Olajuwon, who is at the tail of the peak.

It feels better to beat Olajuwon in groups.

"This is not a gang fight."

Malone thought: "Basketball is a team game, and I play as a team. Well, it makes sense."

A despicable person like him would not give up his martial arts just to fight against a strong enemy.

After a brief interview, Malone boarded the plane back to Portland with the team.

They are sweeping, advance first, and have enough time to rest.

So far, the situation has become very clear.

In the East, the Bulls 3-1 the Knicks.

The Knicks are promising in Game [-].

Their defense against Jordan was very successful, turning the old hooligan into Kobe.

Jordan made 23 of 7 shots, only 30% from the field, and hit more than ten irons.

In the fourth quarter, the Knicks chased after a wave of points, catching up to 94 to 91.

The difference is only 3 points.

It's a pity that the Knicks just couldn't get past these 3 points.

The game between the Magic and the Eagles was also one-sided.

If it weren't for g4, Steve Smith of the Eagles had a big explosion and had been swept away.

Even if they win g4, 3 to 1, no one thinks that the Eagles can win, so they just play one more game.

After all, the player gap between the two sides is too great.

In the west, the Sonics and the Jazz are really evenly matched.

Originally, at the beginning, the Sonics won both home games, and the score was already 2-0.

But after returning to Utah, the Jazz played back two games in a daze, tying the score 2-2!
It turns out that in time and space, the Western Conference Finals is the Jazz playing the Supersonics, and the score trend is similar. The final winner is the Supersonics.

But looking at it now, the strength is really [-]-[-].

The Sonics are more aggressive, and the Jazz are more resilient, rushing to play seven games.

A few more days later, the Eastern Army came out with results.

Eastern Conference Finals, Magic vs Bulls.

On the western side, it will take some time to fight.

Before the results came out, the draft lottery began.

Although Duncan announced that he would not participate in this draft, this draft is still very important.

The top pick is Iverson.

High school guard Kobe Bryant.

These are highly topical geniuses.

After training in the afternoon and dinner, Malone hugged Theron tenderly and watched the draft lottery.

After making a show, the Vancouver Grizzlies with the lowest record only got the third pick.

The Philadelphia 76ers, with the second-to-last record, got the No. [-] pick.

The third-to-last Toronto Raptors got the second pick.

The result is unchanged from the original.

Ma Long also understood the reason, and nine out of ten it was due to the little Jewish old man.

Philadelphia is a big city, and David Stern couldn't possibly watch this big city go to waste.

Both the Raptors and the Grizzlies are newcomers to the NBA, and they should be appeased by good signings.

After the top three, the subsequent picks have somewhat changed, but Malone didn't care too much.

The Trail Blazers' draft pick was No. 26 in the first round.

In this position, there are basically no talents to choose from.

Daben is a good target, but Daben is undrafted, so there is no need to waste this first-round pick, and there is no need to tell Bob.

It's not too late to arrange after the season is over.

"Speaking of which, in addition to Big Ben, some rookies outside the lottery are also good targets, such as Nash."

Malone thought thoughtfully: "I can set up a brokerage company, sign them, and then link up with the sneakers. It's a trick!"

Malone excitedly hugged Theron to discuss the details.

In a blink of an eye, on May 5, the Western Conference Finals opponent appeared.

The Sonics narrowly beat the Jazz 90-86 and advanced to the Western Conference Finals!

　Thanks to 'Xiaoqimo' for the 3000 point reward.

　　I wanted to stand up, but then I found out that I am a lazy dog.
