Chapter 124 Top [-] Problems with the Heat
This game is over, and the honors of the 2003-2004 regular season are also released.

Scoring leader: Tracy McGrady, averaging 28 points.

Rebound King: Kevin Garnett, averaging 13.9 rebounds per game.

Assists leader: Jason Kidd, averaging 9.2 assists per game.

Steals King: Li Lei, averaging 2.5 steals per game.

Block leader: Theo Ratliff, averaging 3.6 blocks per game.

Rookie of the Year.

LeBron James averaged 20.9 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.9 assists and 1.6 steals per game, winning the trophy.

Of course, there are also many fans who are dissatisfied.

Carmelo Anthony averaged 21 points, 6.1 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.2 steals per game. The data is on par with James.

Moreover, Anthony shot 42.6% from the field and 32.2% from three-pointers, which also exceeded James' 41.7% and 29%.

More importantly, the Nuggets are 42 wins and 39 losses, reaching the playoffs.

The Cavaliers are 35 wins and 47 losses, and they missed the playoffs in the weak Eastern Conference.

Many Cleveland fans defended James: "The Cavaliers have a poor lineup!"

The Denver fans sneered: "Ricky Davis, who was squeezed out by James, who is to blame? Also, is the big Z Gabriel's inside combination weak?"

Big Z averaged 15.3 points, 8.1 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 2.5 blocks per game.

Boozer averaged 15.5 points, 11.4 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal per game.

This combination of insiders is at the forefront of the entire league.

But no matter how the fans argue, the matter is settled.

After that, it's the All-Rookie Team.

As a draft year, the 2003 rookie class is really outstanding.

First Team: Bosh (Raptors), James (Cavaliers), Anthony (Nuggets), Li Lei (Heat), Wade (Heat).

Second team: Hinrich (Bulls), Haslem (Heat), TJ Ford (Bucks), Josh Howard (Mavericks), Marquis Daniels (Mavericks).

The Heat are undoubtedly the biggest winners.

Of the top ten rookies, the Heat's first team accounted for three.

After that is the best sixth man.

热火队的卡隆巴特勒场均14.4分5.7篮板2.5助攻，球队57胜25负。

力压小牛队的安托万贾米森（14.8分6.3篮板0.9助攻，球队52胜30负），夺下这一荣誉。

Most Improved Player, won by Zach Randolph of the Trail Blazers.

他上赛季8.4分4.5篮板，本赛季20.1分10.5分2.0助攻。

This award is undisputed.

Randolph's progress is amazing, and he suddenly became a 20+10 super insider.

Best head coach.

It was the Heat again, with Stan Van Gundy beating Hubie Brown of the Grizzlies.

前者从25胜57负到57胜25负，后者从28胜54负到50胜32负。

Van Gundy won 32 more games, and Brown Sr. won 22 more games. The gap is also clear at a glance.

Best General Manager.

It is a replica of the best head coach.

The Heat's Pat Riley beat the Grizzlies' Jerry West.

And Riley is most praised for exchanging Lafonso Ellis + Anthony Carter for Kevin Cato + Li Lei.

When the deal first happened, everyone thought Morey had taken advantage of Riley.

But in the end, Riley is still a fortune teller, and Morey has become a joke.

Ellis and Carter could hardly play in Houston, while Cato and Li Lei are the two absolute main players of the Heat.

After these awards, the highlight of the year came.

DPOY (Defensive Player of the Year): Ron Artest.

阿泰斯特场均18.3分5.7篮板3.7助攻2.1抢断，并且场均将对手的得分限制在8.1分之下，这是一个非常恐怖的数据。

Regular season MVP (Most Valuable Player): Kevin Garnett.

加内特场均24.2分13.9篮板5助攻1.5抢断2.2盖帽。

The peak wolf king is so terrifying.

His Timberwolves also achieved an impressive record of 58 wins and 24 losses, second only to the Pacers and ranked second in the league.

Followed by the best team.

One round: O'Neal, Duncan, Garnett, Kobe, Kidd.

Second team: Big Ben, O'Neal Jr., Peja, Cassel, Tracy McGrady.

Three teams: Yao Ming, Artest, Nowitzki, Baron Davis, Michael Reid.

Last but not least is the All-Defensive Team.

A round: Big Ben, Garnett, Artest, Li Lei, Kobe.

Second Team: Theo Ratliff, Duncan, Kirilenko, Bowen, Kidd.

There is no doubt that the Heat are the biggest winners this year.

The All-Rookie Team has three positions.

The best sixth man, best head coach, and best general manager are all in the bag.

Li Lei won the best defensive round again.

In addition, Li Lei and Odom were also selected as this year's All-Star, and Li Lei was also the All-Star starter.

In addition, Li Lei won the championship of the three-point shooting contest.

Li Lei is also this year's steal king.

Li Lei's personal achievements are also amazing: first-team All-Rookie Team, All-Star starter, three-point contest champion, first-team All-Defensive Team, steals king.

With these honors added together, Li Lei's reputation has never been better, even surpassing James and Anthony in the same class.

After all, James didn't make the playoffs, and Anthony's Nuggets were also eliminated by the Timberwolves 4-1.

Li Lei is dazzling enough to attract many fans.

Of course, Li Lei's black fans also appeared.

The first one to jump out is also a big name.

Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich.

Popovich questioned the league: "Why can Stone be selected for the best defensive team, but Tim and Bruce can only be selected for the second team."

It is understandable that Popovich is helping his disciples complain about grievances.

To be honest, there is no need to question Duncan and Bowen's defense.

But Li Lei's defensive database is even more eye-catching.

Averaged 2.5 steals and 2.0 blocks per game, which is amazing and unique in the league.

But Popovich is at least superficially dissatisfied: "Do you only look at the data? Then I will also talk about a set of data. In the first round of the series, the Heat have played the Celtics in five games. Li Lei's opponent Pierce 30+ in four games. Is this performance worthy of the best defensive team?"

Naturally, a war of words is inevitable.

But no matter how much Popovich said, he couldn't change the league's decision.

Li Lei doesn't care either, he is not a dollar, why should everyone like him?

Popovich's question brought everyone back to the playoffs.

The Heat and the Celtics scored 2-3.

The Heat lost the crucial Tianwangshan battle.

80% of the teams that lose the Tianwangshan battle will lose the entire series.

The Heat are in trouble.

More importantly, the commentator's comment on Pat Riley's "devil coach" brought the Heat and Riley to the forefront again.

The major sports media seemed to smell the smell of blood, and they immediately dispatched one by one, digging up Riley's countless dark histories.

One by one said the same as the truth.

Except for Riley himself, there is really no way to tell the truth from the fake.

In the writing of these media, Riley has become a devil, a devil who specializes in abolishing players, and a terrifying dictator.

Heat players will inevitably see these news, which really affects their mentality.

The entire Heat team panicked.

The Riley trio held team meetings in an attempt to reassure the players.

But at this moment, the players have already alienated Riley. No matter what Riley says, everyone will subconsciously not believe it.

There will be no effect in the team.

Li Lei could feel the lifelessness of the entire Heat team.

He also persuaded his teammates, but with little effect.

The Heat have been disintegrated from within by their opponents.

At this time, the media that made things worse again wrote an article on the top ten problems of the Heat, which completely set the death penalty for the Heat.

First: Pat Riley's devilish workouts crippled Cato.

Second: The Heat lack playoff experience. Only four people on the entire team have playoff experience.

Third: Stan Van Gundy, as a rookie coach, has little experience and is not good at flexibility.

Fourth: Li Leigui is the best defensive first team player, but he can't guard Pierce at all.

Fifth: Lamar Odom does not live up to his name. The so-called left-handed magician can do three things and four things, but he is too slow to play the third position and too thin to play the fourth position.

Sixth: Dwyane Wade is a glass man, who has been injured many times in the regular season.

Seventh: Eddie Jones is a star in the regular season, and he pulls his hips when it comes to the playoffs.

Eighth: The so-called team basketball lacks a core.The Heat are in trouble, and no one can stand up.

Ninth: The Heat lack a qualified center.With Kevin Cato absent, no one can match the Heat.

Tenth: It’s still Li Lei. He can only shoot three-pointers floating outside. He is too soft and doesn’t deserve the honors he has won.

This article won the approval of many fans and even players.

Public opinion overturned the Heat at once.

This is a Heat team with a lot of rookies. The players are not good at adjusting their mentality, and their morale is even more low.

In such an atmosphere, G6 came.
