After a month of contact, the two have been respectful of each other, and there has been no further contact, not even holding hands.

However, the seeds of affection have already taken root in the hearts of the two.

As soon as Tiana left, Paul Allen called directly to inquire about the situation.

"Lee, how are you getting along?"

"It's okay to get along, Tiana is a good girl." Richard said with a smile.

"Since it's okay, I think you should have talked about getting married earlier......" Paul Allen said in a half-joking tone.

Richard was stunned, good guy, where is this, Paul Allen is going to be forced to get married?

However, listening to Paul Allen's tone, it seemed to be a joke, and Richard did not continue with the conversation.

If he really wants to continue, maybe Paul Allen will force Richard to take Tiana to the church for the wedding tomorrow.

……

In mid-April, the regular season ended, and the Pistons had a perfect regular season record.

This season, the Pistons have a 60-22 regular season record, which is exactly the same as the Kings, who are second in the West.

In the regular season, more than 60 wins can be played, and no one can find fault with it.

Although this number of wins did not break the Pistons' all-time winning record, the gap was not too big.

The Pistons' previous record for wins in a single season was 63, dating back to the Bad Boys in the '80s.

In the '88-89 season, the Bad Boys recorded a team-best record of 63 wins in a single season.

What's more embarrassing is that almost fifteen years have passed, and the Pistons have never played 60+ wins in a single season, and Richard has broken a record of fifteen years this season.

……

The regular season record is tied for second in the league with the Kings, and the first place in the league is naturally the Portland Trail Blazers, who have a 63-win record this season and continue to lead the league.

Judging from the current situation, the Trail Blazers still have at least a few years to go to their peak in the future, and as long as the Auburn combination does not disperse, the Trail Blazers will always be a powerhouse in the league.

……

Yao Ming ended up playing in 76 games in his rookie season, starting every game, averaging 33.7 minutes per game, and scoring 27.3 points, 11.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 2.1 blocks and 0.5 steals.

He is shooting 51 percent from the field and 85 percent from the free throw line per game.

Such a statistic is completely the top level in history, not to mention that the current Yao Ming is only in his rookie season......

Anyway, since the game of O'Neal, there has been no champion who can play such statistics, and even the scope can be expanded, and no player can play such statistics in his rookie season.

In the past ten years, the first of the three players with the best data in his rookie season is Duncan, but Duncan's average of 21.1 points, 11.9 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.5 blocks per game in his rookie season is slightly inferior to Yao Ming.

The second place is Iverson, although Iverson's rookie statistics are better than under normal circumstances, but the average of 25.6 points, 7.5 assists and 2.1 steals per game is not as strong as Yao Ming.

In third place is Elton Brand, who also averaged 21 points, 10 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game in his rookie season.

On the whole, Yao Ming is called the strongest rookie in the past ten years, which is really not unreasonable.

Even in terms of scoring, O'Neill is inferior to Yao Ming.

O'Neal averaged just 23.4 points per game in his rookie season!

There are very few players who can average more than 20 points per game in their rookie season, let alone score more than 25 points per game in their rookie season like Yao Ming.

The last player who averaged 25+ points per game in his rookie season was named Jordan......

……

The key is that with such a data foundation, coupled with the Pistons' record, Yao Ming may have a considerable chance to win the honor of regular season MVP this season.

Although the record is not as good as the Trail Blazers, considering that the Pistons did not even make the playoffs last season, in terms of the improvement of the record, the Pistons are undoubtedly going to beat the Trail Blazers......

At least in Richard's opinion, if this regular season MVP is not given to Yao Ming, it will really be unreasonable.

Except for Yao Ming, who is qualified to win this MVP.

Under normal circumstances, this year's MVP was won by Duncan.

Between 01-03, Duncan had a regular season MVP for the second time in a row.

However, at the moment, Duncan has no advantage in competing for MVP, first of all, his record is not as good as the Pistons, and in terms of the improvement of his record, he is far inferior to the Pistons.

Secondly, in terms of personal data, there is no advantage over Yao Ming, Duncan averaged 23.3 points, 12.9 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 2.9 blocks per game this season.

……

If Yao Ming can really win the regular season MVP this season, it will undoubtedly be another great honor.

Winning the MVP in his rookie season is another great achievement that will make Yao Ming go down in history.

If he can win the championship in the finals, and Yao Ming can get another finals MVP, then Yao Ming will be completely against the sky......

I am afraid that with this season's performance, Yao Ming will be eligible to win the Hall of Fame in the future.

The rookie season MVP Grand Slam has never been seen in NBA history.

There are those who have won MVP majors in their careers, such as Knicks legend Willis Reed, who once won MVP majors in a single season.

Jordan has also done it, and more than once, has achieved two seasons of MVP Grand Slam.

Of course, under normal circumstances, O'Neal actually did it, but because of Richard's appearance, he only won the All-Star MVP and regular season MVP in the 99-00 season, but did not win the FMVP.

Throughout NBA history, these three have achieved Grand Slams, and none of them won this honor in their rookie season......

If Yao Ming can make a grand slam in his rookie season, you can imagine how shocking it will be!

I'm afraid that many fans will directly deify Yao Ming, because to achieve such an achievement, it can really be said that there is no one before and no one after him.

Of course, the premise of everything is that Yao Ming can really win the MVP Grand Slam!

In addition to Yao Ming, the two best performers on the Pistons team are naturally Nash and Clark.

Nash averaged 19.5 points, 3.7 rebounds, 10.9 assists and 1.4 steals per game this season, and he seems to be the top point guard in the league today.

Kidd's stats don't look much better than Nash's, just a little more comprehensive, averaging just 18.7 points, 8.9 assists, 6.3 rebounds and 2.1 steals per game this season.

In terms of shooting percentage, Nash's shooting percentage this season can almost be said to be hanging Kidd.

With an average shooting rate of 48% per game, including 43% three-point shooting rate and 90% free throw shooting rate, the three add up to a total of 181, which is already in the 180 club.

Because of the mad dog haunting the prop, Nash's defense was not as awkward as it would normally be.

Based on his personal data, on-court performance, and team record, Nash has now become the level that can compete with Kidd for the league's No. 1 point guard.

As for Clark, he averaged 3.4 blocks per game this season, and directly sat on the throne of the season block king.

Needless to say, in this regular season's DPOY, Clark is already nine out of ten.

Thinking that he would soon be able to reap the rich rewards of the system, Richard couldn't help but be excited.

Clarke's average of 16.5 points, 10.7 rebounds and 3.4 blocks per game is not much worse than Big Ben......

After all, Big Ben's offensive ability is not as strong as Clark's.

……

In addition, Gerard Wallace, Ragabel and others in the team also played quite well.

Joe Johnson, who has just joined the Pistons for half a season this season, is now completely integrated into the Pistons' tactical system.

He didn't play a lot of minutes, but Joe's performance in singles was far better than in his time with the Suns.

The entire Pistons team is completely thriving at the moment, and everything is going according to Richard's plan.

The regular season is over, and the playoffs are coming.

For this year's playoffs, Richard also attaches great importance to it.

Although he has played in the Finals four times, this year's playoffs are of little significance to Richard.

It is possible that he will leave the Pistons in the future and go to Charlotte to recruit a new army, and before leaving the Pistons, he must give an explanation to Pistons owner Davidson Sr., and he must also give an explanation to Pistons fans.

They have extremely deep expectations for themselves, and if they don't help them play any decent results after coming to the Pistons, Richard will definitely feel a loss.

In Richard's opinion, what is a decent record? Only winning the championship can be considered a decent record......

Secondly, Richard also wanted to prove once again that he had the ability to turn decay into magic!

Before the Pistons joined, they were already in the situation of being the belly of the East, and now that they are here, if they can let the Pistons win the championship, they will once again prove their ability.

……

Under normal circumstances, in fact, this season, the Pistons would have been the first in the East, and under the leadership of Rick Carlisle, the Pistons have played a 50-win record this season, beating the Nets and winning the first place in the East.

Then after the season, Larry Brown usurped the position of Pistons head coach......

However, after Carlisle turned his head to the Pacers, he led the team to the first place in the East.

For two years in a row, leading different teams to the first place in the division is probably the only feat in the entire history of the NBA, and even Richard has not done it.

Therefore, it is true that gold shines everywhere.

……

Now, this Pistons are under the leadership of Richard, although they are also the first in the East, but the record is much better than the Pistons led by Carlisle.

……

Pistons, Nets, 76ers, Green Kai, Pacers, New Orleans Hornets, Bucks, Magic.

That's the eight teams in the East that have made the playoffs......

The Bulls are rather sorry not to get a chance to make the playoffs, and it is estimated that Ranbier's role as head coach is about to be done.

The Magic met the Pistons in the first round, and they were trying to fight for a record in the second half of the season to catch up with the Bucks and reach the seventh place in the East.

That way, they at least don't have to face a team as perverted as the Pistons.

But George Karl also thinks so, they also watched the Pistons start, and they worked hard in the final stage of the regular season to finally retain their seventh position in the East......

George Carr knew too well that if the Bucks faced the Pistons in the first round of the playoffs, Richard might not be able to humiliate them.

Swept?! That's just a routine operation, and it is estimated that Richard will not be able to sweep the Bucks so simply, and he will definitely make a lot of bullshit.

Now that I have retained the seventh position in the East, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

At least in this year's playoffs, it will be difficult to meet Richard, and the only chance to meet the Pistons is that the Bucks can reach the Eastern Conference finals......

Thinking that this was unlikely, George Carl breathed a sigh of relief.

If he really can make it to the Eastern Conference with a seventh-place record in the East, then he would rather give Richard a beating.
