Chapter 303 Going to the Lakers
For Ye Hao, the 2009-2010 season was another season in which honors were softened.
Lianzhuang regular season MVP is expected.
Unexpectedly, he even won the best defensive player award.
But this is not very surprising, his performance in defense is also very good.
In the competition for the number of votes for the Best Defensive Player Award, Dwight Howard, the winner of the Best Defensive Player Award last season, lost to Ye Hao with a small number of votes, and failed to win consecutively.
In the history of the NBA, only Jordan and Olajuwon can win the regular season MVP and the best defensive player award in one season.
In the 1987-1988 season, Jordan led the Bulls to 50 wins and 32 losses, ranking third in the Eastern Conference. The record was not very eye-catching, but in that season, Jordan averaged 35 points per game, and at the same time sent 3.2 steals and 1.6 blocks. Raised the Bulls' defense from outside the original dozen to third in the league.Among the MVP contenders at that time, Magician, Larry Bird and Barkley also played very good statistics, but at that time Jordan succeeded in winning his own first place by overpowering these three with an average of 35+ per game. The regular season MVP and the first best defensive player.
In the 1993-1994 season, Jordan retired midway, giving his contemporary Olajuwon a chance to win the championship.In that season, Olajuwon averaged 27.3 points, 11.9 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 3.7 blocks per game. He led the Rockets to a record of 58 wins and successfully won the MVP and Best Defensive Player Award of the season. .
If the conditions are relaxed, not limited to the same season, there will only be two more players who can win these two awards in NBA history.
One is David Robinson, one of the four major centers of the same era as Olajuwon. He won the best defensive player award in the 1991-1992 season and the regular season MVP award in 1994-1995.
The other is Kevin Garnett, who won the regular season MVP award in the 2003-2004 season and the best defensive player award in the 2007-2008 season.
This shows how difficult it is to win both awards at the same time.
If you add that Ye Hao really won the All-Star MVP award inadvertently, then in the same season, besides Ye Hao, only Jordan can win the All-Star MVP, regular season MVP and best defensive player awards. Alone.
If last season, there were still people who had objections to the idea that "Ye Hao is the No. It's much smaller.
Now, Ye Hao is No.1 in the current league, and he has basically been recognized, except for some good players.
For example, some diehard fans of James will still insist that James is better than Ye Hao.
They can’t compare statistics or honors, they can compare their bodies. They think that James’ body is stronger and more durable than Ye Hao’s. They think that even if the yellow race can fight for a while, they won’t be able to fight for a long time. In the long run, James is stronger. .
It's just that these racially discriminatory fallacies will be sprayed wildly when they are spoken out.
This season, James is also working hard, wanting to do it again, wanting to prove himself.
But no matter how hard he tried, he could only rank second.
The regular season record of the Cavaliers is like this, ranking behind the Thunder, and only got second place in the league.
The regular season MVP he wants to win is out of the question.
But even in the All-Star Game, he didn't win the MVP award once, and Ye Hao inadvertently took it away.
In the playoffs, after they eliminated the Bulls in the first round, they encountered the Celtics in the second round, and were rubbed on the floor by the Big Three who were desperate to win a championship before retiring, 2-4 He was eliminated and failed to make it to the Eastern Conference Finals.
Such a season ending has strengthened James' determination to leave the team.
Looking at the west, the Thunder team led by Ye Hao swept all the way to the finals.
They eliminated the Mavericks 4-0 in the first round, and the Spurs 4-0 in the second round, fully demonstrating the strength of the defending champion team.
This season, they can't win the championship if they don't look down again, and their odds of winning the championship are the lowest since the start of the game.
This is different from last season. Last season, few people thought they could win the championship. It was unexpected that they won the championship.
This season, of course, people will no longer look at it that way. They are the champions of last season. The team has Ye Hao, the strongest player in the league, and Durant, who just became an All-Star this season, and the fast-growing Ibaka, Jordan Jr., Dragic and others.
Such a team, people probably can't find a reason to look down on it.
The Thunder made it all the way to the Western Conference Finals and encountered the Lakers again.
The Western Conference Finals in the past three years have been duels between their two teams.
In other words, in the past three seasons, the Western Conference has been under the joint rule of the Lakers and Thunder.
Even if the competition in the west is fierce, and the princes from all walks of life are fighting, the strength is far superior to that in the east, but they still have to look up to the Lakers and Thunder.
This year's Western Conference finals, the two teams fought again to the seventh game.
This season the Lakers lost Ariza, Ariza went to the Rockets, but the Lakers signed Artest to supplement.
At this time, Artest must be stronger than Ariza, which means that the strength of the Lakers has been improved again.
So Ye Hao spent the entire Western Conference finals struggling to score points amidst the entanglement of the two top defensive players, Kobe and Artest.
However, the Thunder team finally won the tiebreaker. After two overtimes, Ye Hao scored 12 points in the last overtime, helping the Thunder team to win the finals again.
Director Zhang said that when the game went to two overtimes, the high-intensity game of the Western Conference Finals would have certain advantages for the Thunder, a younger team, because they were younger and more physically active.
Entering the finals, the Thunder faced the Celtics who defeated the Magic and advanced.
Speaking of which, it has been three seasons since the Big Three of the Celtics teamed up.
At the beginning of the formation of the team, they went for the championship, but the result was a bit unsatisfactory.
In the first season, they met the Lakers and were defeated by the Lakers.
Last season, they didn't even make it to the Eastern Conference finals. This season they made a comeback, and finally broke through consecutively and returned to the stage of the finals.
It's just that the big three who are one year old can't withstand the repeated attacks of the young thunder generals led by Ye Hao.
Ray Allen couldn't look down on Ye Hao, and Pierce couldn't lock Durant who had grown up either.
Hardt, who is used to fighting and retreating, has some advantages on the offensive end, but on the defensive end, he encountered strong blockades from Ibaka and Jordan Jr., and his efficiency on the court is not high.
As for Director Lang, his scoring ability is really mediocre, very mediocre, worse than Duan Yu's ineffective Six Meridian Excalibur.
Ye Hao can keep an eye on Ray Allen, and Tony Allen comes up to guard Pierce, who used to be very familiar with the team. Durant, from time to time, double-teams and interferes with Pierce or Garnett.
This made the Big Three very uncomfortable.
As a result, the Thunder first won two games in a row at home and took a 2-0 lead.
In the away game, they won the match point with one loss in two games.
Back at home, they were defeated by the Big Three who desperately did not want to lose, and the battle was 2-3.
Finally, in the sixth game, on the road, they defeated the Celtics and won the championship again.
Ye Hao naturally won the FMVP again.
He also became the only player in NBA history to win the MVP Grand Slam twice.
And it was twice in a row.
All-Star Game MVP, Regular Season MVP, Finals FMVP.
This season, he is going a step further, plus a best defensive player.
Barkley said that Ye Hao is unprecedented, and I am afraid that he will never come again. He is too strong to talk about. These two seasons are Ye Hao's seasons, and it is Ye Hao's year. With this achievement, Ye Hao has already achieved Inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame.
The finals are over, and the time has entered a long offseason.
But this summer, it is not as quiet as before.
Because the player market is quite lively.
James refused to renew his contract with the Cavaliers and will announce his final choice on a TV show.
This incident became a big news in the NBA.
Until the show airs, no one knows where he's going and which team he wants to be with.
At the same time, Wade, Anthony, Bosh and others also announced that they had jumped out of their contracts and became free agents.
This immediately ignited the league, and all the teams rushed to catch a big fish first.
In addition to the few talents of the 03 class, the bully Stoudemire, O'Neal, Boozer, Rudy Gay and others have all become free agents.
This summer will be very lively. Of course, this excitement will gradually subside as these stars sign contracts and determine where they will go.
Stoudemire eventually moved to the New York Knicks,
The Celtics snatched O'Neal, and they also kept Ray Allen and Pierce, continuing to bet that the Big Three could give the team hope of winning the championship.
Boozer went to the Bulls and teamed up with Rose, Noah and others. From this, the young Bulls were regarded as the winners of the summer, and people believed that they would be able to rush out of the East.
Nowitzki renewed his contract with the Mavericks, Rudi Gay and the Grizzlies renewed his contract, and Joe Johnson also renewed his contract with the Eagles.
McGrady moved to the Pistons after being traded by the Rockets last season.
What attracted the attention of Huaxia fans was that Huaxia player Ah Lian was traded again and was traded by the Nets to the Wizards.
A group of well-known players have confirmed their next homes, and the dust is gradually settling.
Now people are staring at the movements of the 03 generation.
Wade publicly announced that he would sign with the Heat, and the media also revealed that both Anthony and Bosh also intend to join the Heat.
After Wade planned to re-sign with the Heat, James sat in front of the live TV recorder and prepared to disclose his whereabouts.
But at this time, there was an even more explosive news.
After the news came out, those viewers who were still watching James' decision to broadcast live instantly lost interest in continuing to watch.
Because Ye Hao suddenly announced that he was going to change teams!
No.1 in today's league, actually want to transfer teams!
Who cares about James' decision?
Everyone flocked to the press to find out if it was true.
In theory, in people's general opinion.
The championship Thunder will have the most solid lineup.
Who will change the lineup of a team that has won two consecutive championships?
Who would not want to stay on a championship team and continue playing?
Not long ago, Durant just signed a five-year maximum salary contract with the Thunder.
Although Ye Hao has not yet signed the maximum salary contract that the Thunder team handed over to him immediately.
But people think that Ye Hao will definitely renew his contract with the Thunder.
Moreover, after discussion, the league believes that a player like Ye Hao who entered the All-Star team in his rookie season, won the MVP and FMVP trophies, and entered the first team of the best team and the first team of the best defensive team can renew his contract with the incentive clause , the starting salary can be increased by 8% under the old terms.
This makes Ye Hao's contract extension higher than Durant's contract.
It is precisely because of this that people think that Ye Hao has no reason not to sign this contract.
But who knows, Ye Hao refused to renew the contract.
As soon as the news came out, the alliance was about to explode.
James, who was preparing to disclose his whereabouts on TV, was also dumbfounded when he heard it.
What the hell, he wants to transfer, to play brother basketball, just to deal with the Thunder and Ye Hao.
Now Ye Hao plans to leave the Thunder?
What kind of plane is this!
A good championship team is not going to stay, Ye Hao is out of his mind?
Then should he go to the Heat to join forces with Wade?
Anyway, James' brain at the moment can hardly think.
This news is really a bit shocking.
Of course, many people suspect that this is fake news.
But the current Thunder team is a hot pot of porridge, because Ye Hao really refused to renew his contract with Tian Tian.
There are only two options before the Thunder. One is to force Ye Hao to continue playing for the last season, and the other is to trade Ye Hao to minimize losses as much as possible.
Presti and the boss of the Thunder chatted with Ye Hao one after another. They were really moved by emotion and reason, hoping to persuade Ye Hao to stay on the team.
It's just that Ye Hao's attitude is very firm.
He is indeed leaving the team.
The idea of leaving the team didn't come to him just now, he had it a long time ago.
Moreover, he has already thought about where to go.
That's going to the Lakers.
Go play with Kobe.
Ye Hao confessed all his thoughts.
Presti and the boss could not keep Ye Hao.
In the end, he nodded and agreed to let him go.
They are willing to fulfill Ye Hao.
Ye Hao helped the team win two championship trophies in a row.
Without Ye Hao, none of this would have been possible.
So Ye Hao really did everything he could for the Thunder.
Now that he wants to chase his dream, the Thunder naturally don't make things difficult for him.
The point is, it really can't be difficult.
The right to speak is in Ye Hao's hands.
If they force Ye Hao to stay for one more season, then Ye Hao will become a free agent completely, and they will get nothing in return.
If they want to trade Ye Hao to a team that is not the Lakers, then Ye Hao will not promise to stay on the team, and I am afraid that other teams will not dare to accept this deal.
So, this summer is really lively.
