Chapter 77 Who Is The Best Rookie
In a blink of an eye, the 03-04 NBA season is coming to an end.

Wang Shipeng can still think of the game against the Mavericks to this day, and he is relieved that it was the most unwilling game he lost in the whole season.

Just as Wang Shipeng thought, it was a protracted battle.It took a total of two overtimes between the two sides to decide the winner.

It was 102-100 at the end of regulation, and Nowitzki hit a two-pointer with a fadeaway jumper.

In the first overtime, the Mavericks had a three-point lead, but Wang Shipeng hit a three-pointer just past halftime in the last 0.3 seconds, dragging the game into the second overtime.

At the end of the second overtime, the two sides scored 132:130, but just when the Bulls were about to celebrate their victory.Nash's final [-]-pointer went to the basket.

The lore did not leave any chance for the Bulls.

小牛队诺维斯基拿下了47分7篮板3助攻，纳什22分20助攻，芬利18分8篮板。

公牛队库里拿下32分13篮板3盖帽，王仕鹏38分8篮板8助攻，皮蓬21分5篮板5助攻。

At the press conference after the game, Cartwright only left one sentence: "This is a great game. Our boys did a good job, but they lacked a little bit of luck."

Wang Shipeng's answer was even more straightforward: "See you in Chicago."

Two days later in Chicago, the Bulls got their revenge by beating the Mavericks 108-87.But Wang Shipeng was not happy. Nowitzki was unable to participate in this game due to a sudden severe cold, which made the Bulls' victory somewhat discounted.

"Arthur, what are you thinking?" Curry, who was sitting together having breakfast, looked up and saw Wang Shipeng was distracted, and couldn't help being curious.

Wang Shipeng was about to answer, but Pippen leaned over and said, "Aren't you talking nonsense? Eddie, Arthur is naturally thinking about how to get the best rookie from LeBron."

Yes, the season is over, and most of the major awards have surfaced.

The Bulls finally retained the sixth place in the Eastern Conference with a score of 42 wins and 40 losses. They will face the final champion Detroit Pistons in the first round of this year.

It's not that Wang Shipeng didn't think about finding a way to make the team fall to seventh, but the New Jersey people are also not something the current Bulls can handle, so in the end Wang Shipeng decided to let nature take its course.

The final rankings of the Eastern Conference teams are: Indiana Pacers No. [-], New Jersey Nets No. [-], Detroit Pistons No. [-], Miami Heat No. [-], New Orleans Hornets No. [-], Chicago Bulls No. [-], New York Knicks No. [-], Eighth Cleveland Cavaliers.

The Cavaliers have always been honestly ranked ninth in the East, and it seems that they have recognized that the first lottery is a good position.However, at the end of the season, LeBron James broke out suddenly, averaging 22 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists per game in a triple-double, leading the team to 5 consecutive victories.The Cavaliers also relied on this wave of winning streak to overtake the Boston Celtics to eighth in the Eastern Conference.

When he learned that the Cavaliers broke into the playoffs, Wang Shipeng was stunned.Although he has always felt that James has matured much faster than before the time travel, but this operation is against the sky.

Compared with the east, the changes in the west are also quite large.Besides James, Yao Ming should be most influenced by Wang Shipeng.Under Wang Shipeng's reminder, Yao Ming is no longer obsessed with being a heavy center like O'Neal.Instead, he began to develop his mid-range and even three-point skills. I don't know how he convinced Tang Shuai. The Houston team even cooperated with him.

姚明整个赛季出场74次，场均上场35分钟，拿到19.3分8.3篮板球3.4助攻和1.2盖帽。凭借这份表现，姚明带领着休斯敦队最终闯到了西部第五。

The final rankings in the West are: Minnesota Timberwolves first, Los Angeles Lakers second, San Antonio Spurs third, Sacramento Kings fourth, Houston Reds fifth, Dallas Mavericks sixth, Memphis Grizzlies seventh, and Denver Nuggets eighth.

Although the major awards of the season have not yet been finally announced, everyone has already guessed.

最有价值球员也就是MVP应该会是凯文加内特。场均出战81场，场均拿到23+13+6+2+1这种填满数据表的逆天数据，带领球队拿到62胜20负这种全联盟第一的战绩。甚至在常规赛横扫集齐四大天王的湖人。这种成绩当然是本赛季MVP的不二人选。

Like the MVP, the best head coaching candidate is not in dispute.Timberwolves coach Saunders is fully worthy of the honor of the best coach in every aspect.

Most Improved Player should belong to Houston center Yao Ming.From 13+7 in his rookie season to 19+8 this season, Yao Ming has made great progress in terms of personal data and efficiency.And Houston also returned to the playoffs after several years under the leadership of Yao Ming, which undoubtedly added a lot of points to Yao Ming.

The best defensive player belongs to Ron Artest.I have to admit that the previous two consecutive DPOY winner Ben Wallace's defensive performance this season is also very bad.Wang Shipeng remembers that if it weren't for the sudden emergence of Artest this season, Ben Wallace, a defensive wizard who comes out every 20 years, would have historically created five consecutive DPOY glory.

But I have to admit that from this season alone, Artest's defensive efficiency and performance are no worse than Ben Wallace.Unlike Wallace, who can only defend and is an idiot on the offensive end, Artest is also good on the offensive end, scoring 18+5+4 field control data.This adds a lot to his selection.

In addition to these individual awards, collective awards such as the best team have been announced.

First Team of the Season: Shaquille O'Neal, Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, Kobe Bryant, Tracy McGrady
All-NBA Second Team: Ben Wallace, Jermaine O'Neal, Vince Carter, Allen Iverson, Jason Kidd

Three teams of the best team: Dikembe Mutombo, Chris Webber, LeBron James, Wang Shipeng, Steve Nash
Two rookies, LeBron James and Wang Shipeng, were selected to the best team. Even if it is three teams, it is rare in the history of the league.But just judging from the performance of the two of them, they are indeed worthy.

LeBron James played 82 games this season, averaging 41 minutes per game, scoring 22.3 points, 7.4 assists and 6.8 rebounds, leading the Cavaliers to eighth in the Eastern Conference.

亚瑟王本赛季出战76场，场均出战36分钟，拿到24.7分5.8篮板5.2助攻。带领公牛队拿到东部第六。

Judging from the data and performance alone, both of them are worthy of the honor of the best rookie.So, who is the best rookie?
