Whether he can get the best defensive player and the best rookie, Li Du doesn't care too much, he cares more about the second game with the Suns. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Not caring about awards doesn't mean that Li Duzhen's realm is so high that he doesn't care about these honors, as a newcomer, he needs honor more than everyone, but compared to honor, he is from a national art background and cares more about the outcome of the game! And Li Du himself knows that if he can help the team go to the end and even win the championship, he will win greater and more honors, and the gold content is far from being comparable to the honors of the regular season!

Just because Li Du doesn't care doesn't mean that others don't care, and Pelinka is one of them. As a professional basketball agent, he understands very well how much it would be beneficial for Li Du if he got both the Rookie of the Year and the Best Defensive Player!

Recently, Pelinka has been in talks with Nike and Adidas about signing Li Du, and both of them were tough at first, after all, they are the two largest sporting goods companies in the world, but as Li Du has become more and more prominent in the NBA, they have begun to loosen up a little.

If Li Du wins both awards, Li Du will become the first person to win both the Rookie of the Year and the Best Defensive Player at the same time! This is an unprecedented record! No one has done it since the first year of the NBA, and no one has ever done it even before the NBA and ABA merged! If Li Du succeeds, he will go down in basketball history! The business value will also rise indefinitely!

On April 23, the day after the Suns and Lakers game ended, the NBA officials finally announced the winners of the Best Sixth Man and Best Coach.

The winner of the Sixth Man of the Year is Manu Ginobili of the Spurs, who averages 19.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 4.8 assists per game, and the Spurs can be ranked second in the West this season, thanks in large part to Ginobili, and this is the first time Ginobili has won the Sixth Man of the Year!

The best coach went to Raptors head coach Sam Mitchell, who has gone from being the third-to-last team in the East last season to the third-best team in the East this season.

The next day was about to reveal the Rookie of the Year, the Most Improved Player and the Defensive Player of the Year, and Pelinka was so nervous that she didn't sleep well all night. On the contrary, Li Du is very indifferent, he has been watching the video replay of the game with his teammates in the video analysis room, and the most important thing is that he wants to find the situation of the Suns' continuous blocking and dismantling at the end of the last game, and then find a way to crack it.

Through the video playback, Li Du finally understood why he was blocked. Dior and Marion are not in a regular double parallel position when they are in a double block, but diagonally, with Dior on the top and Marion behind. So when Li Du easily bypassed Dior, he had already stood above Marion's side, and if he wanted to bypass Marion at this time, there was no space enough!

I couldn't feel it during the game, but now through the replay, Li Du understands the sun's intentions, and they have set this trap for themselves through the continuous commonality that all humans will have. Since Li Du integrated the gossip palm twist footwork into basketball, especially after using this method to break the block between Wade and O'Neal, this trick has been invincible, and Li Du has been using it all the time, so the Sun used Li Du this time to lead him to bypass Dior on the line first, so that when Li Du turns back, he will lose the space to bypass Marion again, so he will be blocked.

"I see!" Li Du looked at the video, and he had to praise Nash and the Suns in his heart, "It's good that they can think of this way to block themselves, but it's a pity that they don't know what is called the peak of Mingjin, let alone what people at the peak of Mingjin can do!" ”

If Li Du didn't watch the video, he didn't know why he was blocked, but now that he knows, then when Li Du encounters this situation again, he will have other ways. He himself is much faster than the others, and as long as he pays attention, this kind of blocking and pick-and-roll tactics will not be useful to him.

Thinking of this, the corners of Li Du's mouth couldn't help but tilt slightly, "Senior Nash, you also underestimate me too much, if there is no other way in the next game, you just wait to lose!" ”

Early the next morning, Li Du was woken up by Pelinka, who roared excitedly on the phone: "Lee, you won the best rookie and best defensive player!" Did you know that no one in NBA history, or even in the entire history of basketball, has ever won both awards at the same time? You set a record and it will go down in history forever! ”

"Got it, got it, Robert, you're a little excited." Li Du rubbed his ears, which were numb from Pelinka's shock, and calmly said, "These two awards, except for the fact that the best defensive player has a higher gold content, there is nothing to be excited about." And in this way, I am on the cusp again, which is not necessarily a good thing. ”

"Uh......" Pelinka was speechless by Li Du at once, and said with a wry smile: "You guy, can't you be like a normal young man!" It's good to be a little excited! ”

Li Du laughed: "I am naturally happy to win the award, but the victory or defeat of the competition is more important, if I win the award but can't win the game, my award will become ironic!" ”

"You're really the same kind of person as Kobe!" Pelinka sighed: "He's the same way, he doesn't have anything else to think of other than the championship. The NBA has officially announced the results, and it is estimated that you will be awarded in the game tomorrow night. ”

After explaining Li Du's sentence, Pelinka smiled again: "Li, you don't care about these two awards, you will definitely care about the reputation and benefits they bring!" You know, before I called you, Nike and Adidas had already called me, and your value has gone up, and I have more leverage in negotiations with them. Wait, I'll give you a satisfactory contract! ”

"Up? How much? Li Du immediately asked, it was impossible for him not to care about this.

"It used to be about 4 million per year, and it was a long-term contract, but now it has reached 6.5 million per year, and this time I want to get a short-term contract for you!" Pelinka smiled and said, "I believe that in two years, you will definitely be more than the current price!" ”

"Good!" Li Du slapped the table, "I'll leave this matter to you!" I'm going to play better, and we're going to win this revenge battle between the Lakers and the Suns! ”

After hanging up Pelinka's phone, Kobe Bryant and other teammates also called to congratulate him, and other players who were familiar with Li Du also called to congratulate him, and after Li Du answered the phone, it was already noon. As soon as Li Du saw the time, he hurriedly ate lunch and went straight to the training ground.

Li Du knows that no matter how many honors he has, if there is no championship, everything is nothing. This is the cruelty of competitive sports, no matter how strong you are and how good your performance is, if you don't get that highest honor, it will be a regret forever! At the end of their careers, many veterans do not seek high salaries or data, but only for the championship ring that represents the pinnacle of world basketball!

Li Du also wants a championship ring, and not just one!
