Chapter 570: Major Awards in the Regular Season
With an away win over the Bulls, the Lakers ended all of their season games.
also successfully created the first regular season record in NBA history, 79-3!
In an entire season, the Lakers only lost three games!
Such a record is enough to describe the past and the present!
The Los Angeles Lakers, who set such a great record, were greeted by fans all over the city when they flew back to Los Angeles.
In terms of the scale of the welcome, it is no worse than when they won the title last season.
"Ever since Lin Han came to Los Angeles, every game of the Lakers has been a festival!"
"Lin Han is definitely the greatest signing in the history of the Lakers, even greater than the arrival of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Chamberlain!"
"He didn't just bring victories, he made entire cities go crazy for him every day!"
"He's done something that Migic can't do!"
The Los Angeles Lakers regular season is over, and the media and fans in Los Angeles are going crazy.
But the Los Angeles Lakers players were calm.
It's a joy to set a regular season record like that, but the Magic as head coach doesn't really make them happy.
"Congratulations on a miraculous regular season, all of you are now blown into the sky, everyone is admiring your greatness, everyone is talking about your legend, but when you fall from the sky, the pride and joy of the present will be a source of pain for you!"
"79-3 loser! A lot of people are expecting you to be a 79-3 loser, and when you lose your caution, lose motivation, and lose your direction because of these touts, you will go from being the most successful team in history to the most losing team in history, and you will always be remembered! ”
"I don't mean to intimidate you, I just want to tell you that this season, no one will accept your failure, when you enjoy the glory now, are you ready, this season will definitely be successful!"
"Tell me, are you ready!"
"Champion! Champion! Champion! ”
"Champion! Champion! Champion! ”
"Champion! Champion! Champion! ”
Magic Johnson has always been a pretty chicken soup head coach, and he has never had much ability for tactics or anything else.
But the magician, who has always been chicken soup, is constantly 'intimidating' the Lakers players.
Now the Lakers are really dangerous.
In the face of the nation's touting, the current Lakers are too easy to get lost.
You know, even the team's fifteenth man, Battle, has been touted by the media in Los Angeles as one of the best substitutes in the league.
Battle was a little floating.
He played a total of 46 minutes this season and grabbed 18 points and 21 rebounds.
The media in Los Angeles gave him a calculation, and Battle eventually became a super center who could play 20+20 data every forty-eight minutes!
After being dissed by the Magic, the atmosphere within the Lakers team has indeed changed from restlessness to calm.
This is also thanks to the team's two leading players, Lin Han and Jo Dumas, who are really calm.
In the face of such fanfare, Rodman and Mutombo will certainly not be able to stand it.
If Lin Han and Joe Dumas can't stand it, then Magic's intimidation will cause confrontation between the players and coaches of the team.
Why did we play so well and you didn't make us happy?
Even if only Lin Han is the only player who supports such a statement as a magician.
None of the other players would necessarily accept Magic's intimidating claims.
Therefore, it was not until this time that Lin Han understood how important it was for a team to have a second-in-command like Jo Dumas.
With Joe Dumas, he and the Magic can completely suppress the slowly restless team.
What's more, what the magician said really makes sense.
Now they are enjoying the glory, but again, now they really can't afford to lose!
79-3 loser?
What are the consequences?
Unthinkable!
What if the Jazz didn't win the championship in the 93-94 season?
Marlon Stockton may be mocked for retiring?!
If they fail in the end this season, even if their previous results are brilliant, it will be difficult for them to raise their heads in the future!
Although it is said that the Magic have broken their crisis point now, it may cause a lot of pressure on the Lakers players.
However, it is better to cause pressure now than to lose later!
It's just clear that the Lakers have now been dragged down by the Magic from floating in the air.
But the media in the United States, the media of the whole world, it is impossible to let the Lakers go now!
Los Angeles Lakers and Lin Han are now in charge of the traffic of the world press!
The focus of the whole world is now on Lin Han and the Lakers!
Especially the Celestial Empire on the other side of the ocean.
Listening to Su Skirt, CCTV has already begun to feature him and the Lakers a week before the end of the regular season.
And it's not a sports station, nor is it ordinary news, but in the news broadcast, five minutes a day are dedicated to him and the Lakers!
After he and the Lakers set a record of 79 wins, the fans of the Celestial Empire next door are even crazier than the fans in Los Angeles now.
Celestial Empire fans are emotional, and the media of Celestial Empire are also emotional, so the entire Celestial Empire has been brought to a very terrifying situation by such sensibility.
Compared with the emotional media of the Celestial Empire, the media on the American side are much more 'rational'.
It's just that their rational reporting makes people feel even more 'incredible'
Because they listed those rational data, everyone only saw two words, and that was 'horror'!
Unparalleled horror!
Won 79 of the 82 games in the whole season, with a win rate of 96.3%, the first in history!
The longest winning streak of the season, 40 consecutive wins, the first in history!
The average points per game in the season is 127.5 points, surpassing the 126.5 points of the Bucks in the 81-82 season, the first in history!
In addition to the average points per game, such as the average assists per game, the average three-point shooting per game and shooting percentage, and the average shooting percentage per game, all of them are the first in history!
This is the Lakers, but what about Lin Han's individual?
Lin Han played in all 82 games this season, averaging 38.5 points, 12.6 rebounds, 17.3 assists, 4.2 steals and 3.7 blocks per game, averaging triple-doubles per game!
And it's a super triple-double!
Lin Han ranked first in points per game, rebounds per game, assists per game, and steals per game in the regular season this season!
Except for the average blocks per game that is not as good as teammate Mutombo's average of 5.1 blocks per game, all other individual statistics are the first!
Lin Han also became the first player in NBA history to be crowned the scoring champion, rebounding king, assist king, and steal king in a single season!
According to many media outlets, Jordan this season has shown what a data monster is.
And Lin Han made people see what is a data black hole that devours data!
This season's regular season ends on April 21, and the playoffs start on April 25.
There will be a three-day break in between.
But during these three days of rest, it was the busiest time for all media reporters in the United States!
These media reporters are eager to know how much the Lakers, as the big winners of the regular season this season, can get in terms of individual awards!
For a while, David Stern was no less stressed than Lin Han and the Lakers.
In previous seasons, these media outlets in the United States have also inquired about the various awards of the regular season.
But it's definitely not as crazy as this season!
Because of the Lakers' record, because of the youth storm that has blown up this season, everyone is full of curiosity about this season's regular season awards!
For example, apart from Lin Han's regular season MVP, who else can enter the Lakers?
Led the team to a 41-41 record, whether Garnett, who is ranked seventh in the West, can make the All-Star team, etc.
Because of the curiosity and perseverance of these media, they really restored the voting that has now ended.
The MV of the regular season is Lin Han, and there is no suspense.
And according to the restoration of those voting reporters found by these media, Lin Han unanimously won the MVP of the regular season this season!
In addition to the regular season MVP, the most important best lineup.
Lin Han, Jordan, Hardaway, Ma Long, Olajuwon led the way.
The second team is David Robinson, Scott Pippen, Sean Kemp, Gary Payton and Joe Dumas
The third squad has Shaq O'Neal, Rodman, Barkley, Reggie Miller and Stockton
Last year, Lin Han was selected for the best team as a striker, and this year he was selected as a defender.
In addition to Lin Han, the Lakers' Joe Dumas was selected to the second team with an average of 23.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game.
Rodman was selected to the third team with an average of 14.4 points and 11.2 rebounds per game.
As for Mutombo and Mourning, although they have the bonus of the team's record, they still can't compare with the three centers.
O'Neal's three appearances this season are due to too many breaks, and O'Neill has only played 58 games this season.
With O'Neal in such a large absence, Hardaway, who has played more small forward this season, led the Magic to a 64-18 record that finished fourth in the league.
Hardaway averaged 10.3 of 22 shots per game and averaged 31.6 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists per game, beating Shaunkamp to enter the game.
This season, Hardaway has increased his individual attack and changed his style of play drastically.
From making more use of dynamic talents to taking advantage of static talents that consume less of your body.
And this is the second season in a row that Hardaway has entered the first team.
The league darling has a 20-4 record in the 24 games O'Neal has been absent this season, a higher win percentage than when O'Neal was around.
And after the major media reported on the list of the best lineup they restored, the American media that were already touting the Lakers directly began to salivate for a while.
Kevin Garnett, who led the team to the playoffs for the first time, missed out on the All-Star team.
Grant Hill, who led the Pistons back to the playoffs, also missed the best team!
And these two, without exception, are all in the position of striker!
And both of them are extremely popular All-Star starters!
The six All-Star players for the forwards this season are Malone, Hardaway, Pippen, Kemp, Rodman and Barkley.
Among the six players, whether it is Malone, Hardaway or Pippencamp, Barkley is well deserved, and he wants data and record.
But Rodman!
The average of 14.4 points and 11.2 rebounds per game is not bad, but it is definitely not that convincing.
At least beating Garnett and Hill with such a record is not convincing.
But if you add to that the stats behind this season's 79-3 record.
Even if the people who support Grant Hill and Kevin Garnett have complaints, there is no way to refute them!
It can only be said that such a record of 79 wins and 3 losses is a bug.
That's a record that can sustain two or even three players into a lineup!
If it weren't for Jordan at the guard position, Joe Dumas would definitely be able to make the squad this season!
If it weren't for Olajuwon, David Robinson and O'Neal at the center position, Mutombo could also be selected to the best team, even for a while!
A team with 79 wins, if only two players are selected for the All-Star team, this is a crime!
The same logic is reflected in the coaches' voting for the best defensive team.
This year's NBA All-Defensive Team is lined up with Lin Han, Jordan, Rodman, Pippen, and Mutombo.
The second team is Joe Dumas, Payton, Eddie Jones, Garnett, David Robinson
Five of the 10 All-Defensive Team players came from the Lakers!
If Lin Han, Rodman, Joe Dumas and Mutombo deserve their name, then Eddie Jones is definitely a reward for the Lakers!
In the awards round after the regular season, the Lakers were the biggest winners.
Rodman, who was mediocre in stats, was eventually rewarded to the All-Star team.
And the defense can only be said to be the middle and upper Eddie Jones, who was trained by Lin Han, entered the best defensive lineup.
Moreover, although Mutombo did not make the third team, he won the Most Improved Player award.
Mutombo defeated former Lakers player and now Raptors' super-big brush Trevoloffen.
The best sixth man also fell to the Lakers for two consecutive seasons, last season's sixth man of the year was Trevoluffin, and this season it is Tejus Edney who replaced Trevoluffin's position.
Teus Edney was also named to the rookie lineup for the rookie lineup, along with Garnett, Sabonis, Joe Smith and Damon Studeudemire.
Although Garnett lost to Rodman because of the Lakers' record bonus, he missed the best team.
But this season he made the playoffs, got an All-Star start, won the best rookie, rookie challenge MVP, best defensive second team, and best rookie team.
It's something to be proud of for Garnett, too.
Of course, the same goes for the Warriors' Wang Zhizhi.
He didn't have as much of a season as Garnett, but he made the playoffs in his first year, starting an All-Star and being named to the rookie second team.
This is also a good start.
Therefore, after the alliance announced the major awards in advance, the two called Lin Han to thank him as soon as possible.
It's just a little regrettable that although both of these two are in the playoffs, one is seventh and the other is eighth.
Garnett's opponent is the SuperSonics, and the Warriors' opponent is the Lakers.
It's almost certain that the two will also be swept out of the playoffs for the first time.
