Chapter 490 Regular season MVP, Duncan is leaving the Spurs?

In the West, the Lakers will play the Trail Blazers in the semifinals, and the Mavericks will face the Kings. Both matchups are head-to-head. But before that, it will be revealed at Madison Square Garden who the MVP winner of this season will be.

Li Lei came to Madison with Hubie Brown and others. Besides them, there were many media reporters, as well as David Stern. The Knicks are the holy land of the NBA, but the embarrassing thing is that these years, let alone an MVP, not even one person entered the MVP list.

This year they won the No. [-] pick, which is very important for the Knicks. Grunfeld has already investigated Anthony and Milicic, and it depends on who the Bulls choose. Anyway, in Grunfeld’s opinion, either of these two people has a higher ceiling than McDunleavy.

Popovich and Duncan from the Spurs also came. Duncan greeted Li Lei, but Popovich was not so friendly. He just snorted. Talent is Stern's new favourite. As for Duncan, although he was at his peak when he debuted, because he is in the small ball market of San Antonio and his simple personality, Stern never thought of praising him.

Li Lei and Duncan are the two most stable players this season. They have scored in double figures in more than 82 of the 70 regular season games, and Li Lei has scored in double figures in more than 60 games.Both were selected for the first team.So it's really hard to say who will win the mvp. Although the Spurs did not get the first record in the league, the difference between the Bulls and the Bulls is only 5 games.

Li Lei sat next to Rogers in the auditorium, "Bruce, do you have confidence in the MVP this time?"

"I don't know, anyway, I won't be able to get it this year, I'll just get it next year." Li Lei was very open,

Perry Rogers was speechless. Back then, O'Neal was not as calm as Li Lei. The latter had been nominated for MVP since he entered the league, but it was not until the 99-00 season that he achieved a positive result. Compared with him, Li Lei was much happier. It can be said that Li Lei raised the word "debut is the peak" to a new level.

Before Li Lei, the typical representatives who were at their peak when they debuted were Chamberlain, Magician, and Duncan. However, except for Magician who won the championship in his rookie season, the rest of them won the championship for many years, especially Chamberlain. I really dare not be flattered, especially the performance in the playoffs.

At the beginning of his career, Chamberlain was an out-and-out data maniac. Of course, no one could restrict him in that era, so he could do whatever he wanted on the data side, and because of this, he developed a one-to-five character. As a result, he and Elgin Baylor became victims of the glorious era of the Celtics.

So compared to these people, Li Lei and Duncan, the magician is a kind of person. They are not so paranoid about statistics, but if the team is in crisis, they will definitely stand up.

Popovich was very nervous, because Duncan's contract was about to expire this summer, and Duncan didn't say anything about the contract extension, which showed that he was disappointed with the Spurs.Although if he signs another contract, he can sign with the Spurs for six years, and other teams can only give five years, but from Duncan's current attitude, he is more decisive than that in 00.

Godfather Si came on stage at this time, and his smile was still so warm, "The one who won the MVP of the regular season in 02-03 is—Chicago Bulls Bruce Lee."

There was a gloomy look in Duncan's eyes. Li Lei stood up from the audience, came to Stern, hugged him, and took the mvp trophy from Stern. Li Lei was not the first consecutive MVP under Stern's rule, but he was the one with the most traffic and the fastest rise. Even the basketball god Jordan had to be beaten by the Cavaliers, Celtics, and Pistons at the beginning of his career.But Li Lei led the team to [-] wins in the first season of his career. Although this season did not break the record of last season, the [-] wins were still in his hands. It was because of his ability to lead the team. If he wasn't awarded the MVP, who would it be?

Li Lei stepped onto the stage and adjusted the microphone, "I'm very happy that I can win this award again. Thank you to those who have always supported me. I will continue to work hard." Well, Li Lei went down without beeping too much.

Li Lei won the mvp again, and Duncan returned frustrated again. In addition to this, the Spurs were eliminated by the Trail Blazers in the first round, which had an extraordinary impact on Shifo.The Spurs are trying their best to keep Duncan, because David Robinson will officially retire. If Duncan leaves again, then the Spurs can really go fishing next season.

After Li Lei won the mvp, the Bulls faced the Hornets' challenge at home on May 5th. Baron Davis and Masben were the two sharp blades of the Hornets. Unfortunately, in this game, these two sharp blades were completely locked by the Bulls as if they were rusty. The combined shooting percentage of the two of them was 6 of 42. The Hornets lost 11 points in the first matchup on the road.

Li Lei scored 30 points and 14 assists in this game, surpassing Baron Davis' 5 points and 3 assists. This UCLA senior's performance seems to be getting worse and worse, and he is still obsessed with the long two-pointer with an extremely low shooting rate. Why doesn't he shoot three-pointers with that skill? Although mid-range is more stable than three-pointers at critical moments, three-pointers are also a means, isn't it?
As for the matchup between the Nets and the Celtics, there is no suspense. The Celtics have entered the second round this season, and that is to deliver food to the Nets. Although Kidd has been crushed by Li Lei in the past two years, he is still a father-level figure against teams other than the Bulls. The Nets also made a good start.
