272: Unscrupulous Letter Writer, Season Prize Announced (4.8K Asking for Votes!) )
Best for a while, five people.
Not a single player in the East!
The owners of the Eastern teams are crying to death.
Without stars, there is no box office appeal.
Without box office appeal, you won't be able to sell tickets and get no additional broadcast fees.
If you can't get these US knife music, you can't bring in stars.
Without stars, there is no box office appeal......
It's heavens!
At this point, on the eastern side, Danny. Angie is brewing a big plan.
A big plan that can solve both the strength of the team and the appeal of the box office.
If it does, there's a good chance that a few more championship pennants will be added to the dome of the North Shore Gardens.
His plan was executed very successfully, as the Los Angeles Lakers didn't want to tear up the championship roster for KG.
Even if they wanted to, they didn't have the right chips.
If you want to get KG from the Timberwolves, in addition to draft picks, you must send most of the team.
And the Lakers, except for drugs and Odang, the combined trade value of the others is not enough to exchange for KG.
Therefore, Angie was able to take advantage of the situation and reached a preliminary consensus with the Timberwolves.
He believes that in the new season, the Eastern team will turn over and become the master.
But the east is like Danny. There are too few people like Anji who are willing to rely on their own efforts to compete with the west.
After all, not all teams have a Celtic heritage.
Most of the Eastern teams have opted for off-the-board moves.
The day after the All-Round Team was announced, the bespectacled, bald head sent a letter to Stern's office.
"What's this?" Stern looked at the bald Adam with a bewildered expression.
"Joint letter."
"Joint letter?"
"It was sent by the owners of more than a dozen teams, saying that it contained their demands."
Stern frowned and took the envelope.
When I opened it, sure enough, it was the owner of the Cavaliers again. Led by Gilbert.
This guy doesn't usually have any hobbies, except for playing golf, and he likes to write letters.
If you have nothing to do, you will publish a "letter to Cleveland fans" on the official website of the Cavaliers. ”
Of course, what he promised in his letter was never fulfilled.
Last summer, for example, he vowed in a letter to fans to bring a star to Cleveland and a helper to LeBron.
Then they brought in David. Wesley.
Well, at his peak, he averaged 17+4 per game, and you dare to say that he is not a star?
Gilbert said that there are no two real men.
It's strange that it can be strengthened, this letter writer can be a serious person?
The real heart, can it be written in the letter?
Cheap!
Stern was not surprised to see Gilbert take the lead in writing the letter.
But when he read the contents of the letter, Stern was dumbfounded.
"We have to limit the phenomenon of a team having two super rookies at the same time, and the league needs to address the growing gap between big city teams and small city teams.
If every team follows the Trail Blazers' lead and makes two super rookies buy two All-Stars at any cost, then 25 of our 30 teams will simply go to an exhibition game. ”
Stern looked at the contents of the letter and pouted.
In fact, last summer, the owners of eight small teams wrote letters urging Stern to close the gap between the big and small teams.
At the time, Stern also said he would work to create a more balanced alliance where everyone had meat to eat.
Now the owner of the Cavaliers suddenly came to this play, which is simply a direct attack on Stern's weakness, which is a change of way to question Stern: "Where is the balance you are talking about?" ”
The letter has the word "fair" written crookedly on each page.
But Stern felt that something was wrong, and thought carefully for a long time before he could see the doorway through the cracks.
Where is "fairness" written in this letter, this is especially written with the word "sour"!
If you want to talk about super newcomers, what you are holding in your hands is a super newcomer, the kind that can't be super anymore, and you still have the face to say this.
5.8 million James, what else do you want to do? Not enough for you to reinforce?
You yourself are not willing to take advantage of the mousse child labor contract to buy people to reinforce, blame others?
You see, the Heat used this to get Shaq for Wade, and then took off on the spot.
You don't care if people fell badly this year, at least they have flown before.
Even the mosaic was searched, taking advantage of Yao Ming's child labor contract to make a whole Tracy support scene.
Pick it up yourself, why did you throw the pot on my Sten's head?
It's so hard to work for your bosses!
Man Paul. Alan is willing to pay, what can I do? Restrain the ghost!
Stern shook his head, though that was the reason.
But if you want to say it, just leave it alone, and you can't do it.
How?
Stern sighed as well.
I can only think of a way slowly.
While Stern was happy because of the heat of the Western Final, he was distressed because of the letter writer.
In the NBA playoffs, the third Western team to advance was also born.
The day after Kobe Bryant eliminated the Spurs to advance, the Phoenix Suns also solved the Nuggets with a total score of 4-1.
In this round of the game, Guagua showed an extremely good offensive level.
He averaged 26.8 points per game.
But the performance of the AI, to be honest, did not live up to expectations.
Although he still averages 22.8 points per game, his 36.8% shooting percentage is a bit spicy.
It's true that AI has never been known for its high shooting percentage, but this 36.8% is also the lowest shooting percentage in the playoffs so far in his career!
The reason is that in addition to the fact that the comprehensive strength of AI itself is not as good as it was back then, it is also because of Laga. Bell's ferocious foul was a headache for the AI.
After all, he was selected for the best defensive team with Kobe. Bale does have a good set of individual defenses.
When he first entered the league, Raja. Bell also followed Iverson's 76ers to the north and south.
Of course, he was still a small player at the time, and he didn't average more than 10 minutes per game in the playoffs.
But it's also a teammate with the AI.
But when they meet again at this time, Bale will never fall in love with any teammates.
Bell also believes in a truth - when you are on the field, you have to do everything to win.
It doesn't matter who you are, you're the league's No. 1 boxing champion, and I'll you.
As a result, the AI was very embarrassed by his former little brother.
One of the two golden guns exploded, so the Suns 4 to 1 is a matter of hand to hand.
This round of the series also proves one point - this year's Suns can indeed defend.
After the race, Stoudemire was excited: "This year, we're going to take it a step further. I'm back, we still have MVP to lead, we're going to go further! ”
Xiao Si is excited, facing the best defensive player Camby, and still averages 26.2 points per game.
What a terrifying strength this is!
He felt like he could Wayne now.
Wayne was only selected for the best defensive team, but Lao Tzu played the best defensive player!
What's more, normally speaking, it is not Wayne who will be with him in the next series, but his sister-in-law who has not been selected for the defensive lineup.
That's even more to take off!
"It seems that you have a lot of confidence in the next series." The reporter saw that Xiao Si was so excited, so he continued to dig a pit.
"We have confidence against anyone, especially the team we beat 3-1 in the regular season.
The Trail Blazers are strong, but not invincible. ”
Xiao Si's self-confidence exploded, this person, it's easy to heal the scar and forget the pain.
The Suns are finished here, and Kobe Bryant is even more anxious.
In today's game, the Mavericks won against the Grizzlies and finally tied the series to 3-2.
But......
I'll have to wait one more time!
Bad luck, have to wait two.
I'm annoyed, I'm so annoyed, Dirk, you're stepping on the gas!
What's the matter with one loose and one tight?
Is this preparing to orgasm at the same time as Randolph or whatever.
A few rushes are over, my Dirk!
Kobe Bryant is really in a hurry, if he can bring in foreign aid in the playoffs, he will go to help Dirk.
Although the Suns and Trail Blazers have both advanced, according to the rules of the league, the Western Conference semifinals will not start until the Mavericks and Grizzlies play each other.
Both teams also have plenty of time to study each other.
And during this time, fans are also waiting for the result of a heavyweight award.
The jury is still out on who the MVP will be.
If Wayne wins the MVP, I'm afraid Kobe Bryant will be even more popular.
After all, Kobe Bryant doesn't have an MVP yet.
The AMVP and MVP are going to be taken by Wayne, and Kobe Bryant can't explode on the spot.
The day before the MVP results were announced, Sharapova was finally available to visit Wayne.
When reporters snapped photos of Sharapova's arrival in Portland, the media were still teasing: "Let's hope Wei doesn't go limp in the Western Conference semifinals." ”
Wayne really convinces these reporters, why don't you yourself think that I can't do it either?
My sexual happiness doesn't affect my playing.
That night, while Wayne was sleeping soundly with his girlfriend in his arms, Dirk couldn't sleep.
Tomorrow, it's the MVP results again, and it's the key battle of the playoffs.
It's so stressful!
Can Wayne win MVP?
Dirk didn't think he could, after all, he was only a third-year player.
Putting aside players from ancient times such as Chamberlain and Abdul-Jabbar, let's just say that the NBA has been counting since the 80s.
Even Michael. Jordan also won the MVP in his fourth year in the league.
won the MVP in the third year of entering the league, there is no such number one person in modern times!
In the past, although Wayne's rookie season was also exaggerated, there was still a precedent for Maji.
But winning the MVP in the third year of his career, which no one has ever done.
is as strong as Maggie, who has children, and only won the regular season MVP in the eighth year of his career.
Jean Nash triple MVP? Unlikely.
Will Wayne win MVP in his third year?
Also unlikely.
In this way, MVP has to be exempted from your surname Nowitzki!
Thinking about it, Dirk felt much more comfortable.
Sleep sleep, tomorrow, MVP and promotion will be won together!
The next day, Dirk was in a good mood. He figured that the MVP trophy might have been delivered to Dallas, and Stern was going to present himself before the game began.
yes, otherwise why did you choose to present the award today?
Isn't that the whole short medal ceremony before the race?
Thinking about it this way, Derek feels that he has a better chance of winning the MVP.
On the contrary, Wayne didn't think much about MVP.
If you can take the best, if you can't, there will be a lot of opportunities in the future.
At this time, the team owner Paul. Allen suddenly walked into the training ground, and all the players present were stunned.
While knowing Paul. Allen loves the team and goes to the game at the end of three days.
But this Nima is too enthusiastic about training directly.
Wayne also stopped what he was doing, and stood in place sweating profusely, not knowing why the boss suddenly had such Yaxing.
However, Paul. Alan didn't say anything after he came in, laughed and hugged Wayne who was covered in sweat.
He also didn't care whether his expensive suit would be stained with Wayne's sweat.
"Way, you're so much of a face for Portland!"
Wayne:???
"I'm sorry to interrupt your training, but I'm so excited, I've never been so excited!"
"Alan, it's normal to go through the first round, don't be excited. Besides, your reflection arc is too long...... It's been a few days since the first round was played......" Wayne was speechless.
"Hahaha, naughty! Am I talking about the first round? I'm talking about MVPs! ”
"Oh, and the MVP doesn't have to be excited...... Wait, you say MVP!? Wayne's eyes lit up, this really hit himself on the head!
"That's right, MVP! Just now, Stern has already called me. This afternoon, we're going to have an award ceremony for you.
At that time, Stern will personally hand you the MVP trophy.
Do you know what that means!?
This means that the Trail Blazers are in addition to Beal. Outside of Wharton, he will have a second MVP player!
I love you, Way! Love you to death! ”
Paul. After Allen finished speaking, he hugged Wayne again.
What else can I say?
It's well spent!
Previously, the Trail Blazers did not renew Wayne's contract ahead of schedule, and they were also criticized by some media.
Because if you don't renew your contract early, if you wait until Wayne's contract expires next summer to renew it, it means that the salary cap will rise, which will make the Trail Blazers spend more money to keep Wayne.
Just like the previous renewal of Yao Ming and Mosaic, because the contract was not renewed in advance, Mosaic couldn't match Yao Ming's contract at all, and Yao Ming went to the Lakers.
There is no doubt that the Trail Blazers also wanted to renew their contracts early in the first place. It's routine, and most rookies tend to sign early extensions in their third year.
Buy peace of mind, after all, if something suddenly happens next year, you won't be able to sign up for so much money.
Schwartz also thought at first that it would be safer to renew his contract early, and although it would indeed make a little less, it would be safe for the next four or five years.
But Wayne himself is not stupid, he knows that he can't be seriously injured, he can't have such an accident.
So, he persuaded Schwartz and the Trail Blazers to renew their contracts in the final year to maximize their benefits.
Schwartz was eventually convinced, and it was up to him to convince the Trail Blazers.
He thought it would be a difficult process, a war of words, after all, it was about asking people to give more money.
As a result, the Trailblazers agreed with ease.
"It's okay, it's okay if you don't renew it early. Wei is our most important asset, and we are willing to spend as much as we want to keep him. ”
At the time, Steve. Here's how Patterson responds to Schwartz.
Anyway, even if he signs in the final year, Wayne is a restricted free agent. No matter how much money others spend on digging, the Trailblazers will be matched directly with the highest salary.
If you can spend money to solve it, that's not a problem.
What's more, the money is still spent on Wayne.
Seeing that Patterson agreed so easily, Schwartz was a little messy.
This is special, the broker position is tied to the dog......
At that time, many people who didn't know the truth said that the management of the Trailblazers was incompetent and was played around by the Wayne team.
Paul. Alan just wanted to laugh when he saw these remarks.
I spend my money, I want to!
As it turned out, he was well spent.
What's wrong with a player who won the MVP in the third grade, spending a little more money on that kind of boy? What's wrong?
Even Paul. Allen doesn't spend, and there are a lot of teams rushing to spend money on Wayne!
"Let's go change your clothes, everyone is waiting for you to receive the award, MVP!"
Although Wayne knew that he could win the MVP before, when this really happened, he still couldn't help but beat his heart faster.
This is an MVP!
Moreover, he is also a third-year MVP.
This is ahead of Ross.
It's a pity that Wayne is a little older, after all, he only participated in the draft in his sophomore year.
Otherwise, the title of youngest MVP might be his.
Immediately, all teammates cheered and applauded Wayne.
The most annoying thing is that the progress of the bond with Pao'er has actually risen!
His adoration and affection for Wayne went one step further.
How you like powerful men!
"Brother Wei, go and claim the award. How many tables will you book tonight? ”
said that the cannon arrived, and the hippie smiling face came up.
"It's the playoffs right now, you can't eat a bad stomach. So, I'll just spend time with my girlfriend tonight. Wayne said with a smile.
Pao'er suddenly became sour, okay, Brother Wei, I don't want a brother when my girlfriend comes!
Hmph, this Sharapova, it's not a good time!
"Hahaha, okay, just kidding. Tonight, let's go out and celebrate. However, you can't drink alcohol.
Suddenly, the entire training hall was boiling.
Viagra invited guests to engage in team building, which is actually to encourage everyone before the series starts.
An hour later, Wayne, in a suit and leather shoes, appeared at the press conference.
Stern grinned and handed the little bronze man to Wayne.
06-07 season MVP, Portland Trail Blazers, Wayne.
Walsh dumbfounded, MVP for best rookie?
The German driver cried and won the MVP in his third year in the league, how is this possible!?
What a vote you cast! Can you be professional! Is it because I can't drive well in reverse?
Kobe Bryant's teeth were almost gone: "Okay, Wayne, good, very good."
MVP, right? Won the MVP before me, right? I'm playing MVP! ”
"Yao, I can't help it, you don't mind if I kill your compatriots, do you?"
"Uh......" Yao Ming scratched his head, yes, this offensive end can really paddle.
All to Kobe.
Give the ball to Kobe.
