Chapter 762 The Least Suspenseful MVP
"This year's MVP should be the least suspenseful year." Stern looked at the voting results of this year's MVP from the media in his hand, and he was not surprised at all.
Averaged 41.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, 7.2 assists, 2.5 steals, 0.6 blocks and 2.7 turnovers per game!
Averaged 27.9 shots per game! 51.5% hit rate and 13.9 hits!
8.9 three-point attempts! 40.2% hit rate, 3.5 hits!
Averaged 7.2 free throws per game!
Perfect!
Kobe Bryant! Played a phenomenal season and once again led the Lakers to a perfect record of 70 wins and 12 losses!
This was won when O'Neal only played 69 games!
This was achieved despite crazy double-teaming by other teams in the league, and even three-person double-teaming!
This is achieved by facing countless legendary superstars and hitting them with one ball after another!
Dominance!
What is dominance?
Kobe's performance this season illustrates such a term!
Kobe Bryant - 47 first-place votes, 1 second-place vote!
That vote is, without a doubt, ESPN's.
Almost unanimously elected!
This kind of event has not happened for many years, especially in this era with a dozen superstars. Kobe has truly become the face of the league.
"Doesn't such a standout performance not conform to the development policy of the NBA that we have formulated?" Bald man Xiao Hua hesitated to speak.
In his opinion - yes, the league needs countless superstars, but these superstars should compete in separate divisions, with everyone taking turns to shine. This is the best way to meet the needs of fans who like new things.
After all, no matter how classic a story is, if it is told a hundred times, no one will want to continue listening to it.
"No, just the opposite." Stern's glasses flashed as he envisioned the future of the NBA.
It was a glorious and prosperous age!
The stars are shining brightly.
Every year there are players who perform at historical levels and perform at legendary levels.
Countless great players and great teams collided with each other.
Various styles of play and strong players in various positions compete with each other.
The war between the stars should not be controlled!
Only the most realistic games are the most attractive to the audience.
If there is a star, it can dominate the world! Let the world rise and fall, and Stern will not stop him.
Just like Michael Jordan, Stern just supports it!
And Stern saw the shadow of such an invincible life in Kobe!
Even though the stars are shining brightly!
No one can cover up Kobe’s glory!
And he is only 20 years old!
At the age of 20, many players are still in the college league at this age, averaging 20+5 per game, and then being touted to the sky, becoming a once-in-a-lifetime talent as described by the media.
After entering the league, most of the talents fell into the dust. 60 players in the NBA will join the league a year, but the careers of most players only last three years.
A lucky few develop their potential and begin to learn to become a star.
Some succeeded, some failed.
And Kobe, when these talented players were still growing up like a toddler, he was already fighting against the greatest players in history!
Beat the stars! All kinds of incredible performances! Won two MVPs!
This is only Kobe's third year of performance.
He still has a long future!
Kobe may become the greatest player in basketball history.
Stern looks forward to that day.
The Union's final battle was amidst the commotion in Indiana.
The game between the Hornets and the fourth-place Pacers in the Eastern Conference is taking place.
The fourth quarter!
The game reached the final critical moment.
Michael Jordan had his hands on his waist and showed no intention of taking over the game.
Because this team is no longer his team alone!
Grant Hill took a look at Jordan!
Take a deep breath!
Throw away God's left hand Mullin!
Get inside and get layups over Rick Schmitz and Dale Davis.
87:81!
Hill killed the game.
32 points, 14 rebounds, 16 assists, 2 steals, 1 block and 3 turnovers! !
Grant Hill ended the season with an exaggerated triple-double!
"Okay, now we need to prepare for the playoffs." Hill patted the non-existent dust on his jersey.
Looking in the direction of Los Angeles.
"That's right." Jordan nodded slightly.
This year's Hornets are a legend.
If we say the greatest player this year is Kobe Bryant.
So the greatest team is none other than the Charlotte Hornets.
They played a historic team offense! Averaged 31.2 assists per game! Scored 121.5 points!
Overwhelming the Lakers, who were missing O'Neal, and won 73 wins and 9 losses!
Michael Jordan won 70 games for three consecutive years!
Grant Hill averaged 27.5 points, 10.1 rebounds, 8.2 assists, 1.5 steals, 0.9 blocks and 2.9 turnovers per game!
Hill's statistics would make him a strong contender for MVP in any year!
And he also won 70 games!
Hill's performance was perfect!
But Kobe's performance is no longer just perfect, he is a legend.
Legend conquers perfection.
Unlike Kobe, Hill has completely become the spokesperson of the team. After all, Michael Jordan is by Hill's side, and many MVP votes are shared by Jordan.
But he also became the second player in the MVP rankings!
And now! Zen Master can say it with confidence and boldness!
No team in the East is their opponent!
"We have only one goal, and that is to win the championship!"
Perfect ending and 73 wins! The Zen master's face was a little joyful, but also a little solemn.
"That's right, guys. Get ready, the little fight is over, next, it's war." Jordan said in a deep tone.
WAR!
The playoffs are a man’s stage and a man’s war!
This year's Hornets have home field advantage! Go face the Lakers!
Chance!
This is the best chance to win the championship!
Michael Jordan knew that his time at the top was running out.
From the moment he scored 30,000 points in the game against New York, he knew that he was about to grow old like Chamberlain and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar!
but now!
He still has energy!
Grant Hill made Jordan's consumption very less this season!
Unlike the Bulls, the God of Basketball has almost all the heavy responsibilities on his shoulders!
Jordan this year, especially in the second half of the season, has the smallest physical load in recent years.
Although his scoring average dropped to 28.5 points per game, his shooting percentage increased to 47%!
The three-point shooting percentage has also increased to 42.5%, averaging 1.8 three-pointers per game!
This year!
Perhaps this is Jordan's best physical year.
His dynamic talent is declining, but his shooting and experience keep him at the top!
If it's another year, I can't say for sure.
Jordan watched Kobe move towards the altar step by step. Kobe improved very quickly, and Jordan's body declined very quickly!
Only chance!
This is the last year in which Jordan, as the core, has a chance to win the championship!
Michael Jordan knows this all too well.
