Chapter 1141
When the match was over, Ariza's main concern was Lamar's reaction. Although Lamar is not the general manager of the team or the head coach of the team, Lamar really holds the power of life and death of each player in his hands.
However, Ariza didn't dare to ask questions recklessly and directly like before, he could only follow Lamar's side silently like a little daughter-in-law, looking at Lamar with longing eyes from time to time, hoping to get an answer.
"Not bad!" Lamar's assessment was so simple that he ignored Ariza after saying that.
Ariza didn't understand, and looked at Ewing the only one on the team who was still willing to deal with him.
"Fool! Lamar means you're still a Knicks player next season. This opportunity is earned by yourself, and I hope you will cherish it. ”
"I won't be able to do two jobs next season and Salmons is in contract year. So that the Knicks have a place, and hopefully, when the time comes, you can rely on your own efforts to get the approval of Coach K. ”
Ariza was tempted to say that it wasn't a problem, that he was going to become a superstar beyond Lamar. But looking at Ewing on the other side, he really couldn't say such words. Because this season with the Knicks, Ewing has helped him just too much.
So far, the 2004-2005 NBA regular season has come to an end.
As the biggest winner, the New York Knicks led the league with a 76-6 record, and also broke the Chicago Bulls' record for the best regular season record, and even improved that record by another four games.
While Knicks fans are cheering, they can't help but fantasize about the day when their team will win the regular season.
At the same time, with the end of the regular season, the various awards have also found their owners.
The regular season MVP trophy was undoubtedly awarded to Lamar. Avaging 28.7 points, 10.6 rebounds, 8.3 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.7 blocks per game, Stern didn't dare to make any small moves in private.
Last season, because of the ban, Lamar missed out on this honor, and now Lamar is back strong and once again takes the MVP trophy into his arms.
The title of scoring champion was awarded to Kobe Bryant, who led the team alone. Without O'Neal sharing the ball with him, Bryant averaged 35.8 points per game this season, setting a new career high.
The title of assist king naturally belongs to Steve Nash of the Phoenix Suns. The statistic of 12.5 assists per game is amazing.
Of course, the first thing Nash should thank for this honor is Stoudemire, and it is precisely because of the existence of Stoudemire's strong interior line that Nash can rest assured that he can boldly brush assists.
The block king and steal king trophies all fell into the hands of the Timberwolves.
Ben Wallace continued his madness at the Pistons.
Arenas finally had a big explosion in his career after getting plenty of time to play.
The title of rebounding champion was awarded to Tim Duncan of the San Antonio Spurs.
Because of a serious injury in the second half of the season, Tim Duncan finally won the honor with an average of 12.7 rebounds per game.
The Defensive Player of the Regular Season award went to Ben Wallace.
Ben Wallace has been outstanding with the Minnesota Timberwolves this season.
In addition to not being able to give the team enough help on the offensive end, Big Ben can be said to have continued his madness with the Pistons on the defensive end. With him there, the Minnesota Timberwolves' interior line finally stood up for the first time. In this regard, the role of Big Ben is not comparable to Kevin Garnett.
The Best Rookie trophy was given to Charlotte Bobcats' top pick Ameka Okafor with a voice of skepticism.
Although Knicks fans unanimously agreed that the trophy should be awarded to Dwight Howard of the Los Angeles Clippers, Howard lost to Okafor in the selection because Howard was not the team leader in the Clippers.
The Sixth Man of the Year honor still belongs to the Knicks. Due to Battier's existence, Prince was on the bench for a long time after trading to the Knicks, and winning this trophy can be regarded as a relief for the little prince's wounded heart.
The title of Most Improved Player was given to Josh Howard of the Philadelphia 76ers. His improvement this season has been quite noticeable, especially after the AI gradually became less trusted by management, and Josh Howard single-handedly held up almost the entire perimeter of the Philadelphia 76ers.
Of course, if it weren't for the fact that he looks so sorry for the public, he would have had the opportunity to participate in the All-Star Game.

Members of the 2004-2005 NBA Regular Season Defensive Second Team:

Being selected to the second team in the regular season was an absolute surprise for Wade and Billups.
The whole league knows that Stern doesn't like the Knicks, and it is indeed a rare fairness for the league to get this easy.
With the awards coming to fruition, the regular season is completely over, and the next thing people have to look forward to is the playoffs afterward.
The 2004-2005 regular season has come to an end, and all 16 spots that have made it to the playoffs have found their owners. And those teams that failed in the final sprint, or started to struggle halfway through the season and want to get a No. 1 pick in the summer, have packed their bags early and are ready to start their vacation.
Over the next month, the sixteen teams will be divided into two divisions to compete for the final honorary championship trophy.
West: Minnesota Timberwolves (1) Memphis Grizzlies (8), Series Prediction: 4:0 Timberwolves win!
The Minnesota Timberwolves, the champions of the West, will face the Memphis Grizzlies in the first round of the playoffs.
This season, the Timberwolves have performed even better, with not only a number of star-star players, but also the careful guidance of championship coach and head coach Phil Jackson. The Timberwolves have burst out with tremendous energy this season.
Garnett, Ray Allen, Ben Wallace, Arenas, the Timberwolves' four heavenly kings have been fused, and the last flaw that hinders them has been made up.
Of course, if the Timberwolves were not born in the same era as Lamar's Knicks, their 70-12 record this season could have made them famous in history.
It's a pity that under the Knicks' terrifying record, the Timberwolves can only play a supporting role. Especially this season, being beaten by the Knicks home and away made them lose face.
The Memphis Grizzlies' performance this season has not changed much compared to last season.
Pau Gasol, the team's main interior line and team boss, has been stable this season, but he has not improved much from last season. If it weren't for the introduction of Ron Artest in the middle of the season and the strengthening of the team's outside line, it would be questionable whether they would be able to make the playoffs this season.
Of course, the Grizzlies' biggest problem is their poor bench lineup.
Fortunately, Pau Gasol, Artest, and Michael Miller, the three stars that the Grizzlies rely on the most, have all remained healthy, and it is precisely because Paul returned from injury that the Memphis Grizzlies began to win in the second half of the season and finally caught the last train of the playoffs.
Although the rankings of the two teams are very different, the rivalry between them has caused controversy among many basketball experts.
There's no doubt that the Minnesota Timberwolves have a strong roster, but the Memphis also has the potential to be a dark horse.
In this wolf-for-bear battle, it is difficult to determine who will be the final winner.
Phoenix Suns (2) vs Sacramonto Kings (7), Series Prediction: 4:0, Suns win!
The Phoenix Suns' performance this season is undoubtedly gratifying.
This team, which insists on the most dazzling style of play in the league, has finally ushered in an explosion after two seasons of running-in.
The addition of super point guard Steve Nash has finally given D'Antoni's tactics a trustworthy executor.
Stoudemire has shown great courage since returning from injury, and with his support, Nash has finally shown his talent as a child of the wind. The Suns' record has also improved dramatically.
It can be said that Stoudemire Jr.'s strong performance is an important factor in the Suns' rapid improvement this season. It was because of Stoudemire's outstanding play on the inside that the Phoenix Suns ranked fourth in the league in terms of points conceded after the regular season.
In comparison, the king of Sacramonto is much more ordinary.
Although this season, with Webber's injury, the team management officially handed over the position of the team's boss to Pejastojakovic, and also ended the team's multi-year power struggle. Even in order to make up for the vacancy of Webber and Divac, the team also introduced powerful players like Brad Miller, but the team as a whole still has some congenital deficiencies. 2k reading web
