On the 18th, the NBA regular season was all over, and the rankings of each team were determined.

The 2-8 playoff teams in the West are the Spurs, Kings, Mavericks, Jazz, Suns, Trail Blazers, and Timberwolves. 9-14 are the Rockets, HyperSonics, Nuggets, Clippers, Grizzlies, Warriors.

The Eastern Conference champions are the 76ers, with only 56 wins, 18 games behind the Lakers and one game behind the Spurs.

The 2-8 places in the East are the Bucks, Heat, Knicks, Raptors, Hornets, Magic, and Pacers. 9-15 are the Celtics, Pistons, Cavaliers, Nets, Hawks, Wizards, Bulls.

The regular season stats are out, and the 76ers players are the winners.

Guard Iverson was the leading scorer with 31.1 points and his first steal with 2.5 steals, while center Mutombo averaged 13.5 rebounds per game to become the rebounding leader.

The assist crown was won by Suns guard Jason Kidd, who averaged just 9.8 per game.

The block king is former 76ers player Ratliffe, who averages 3.7 per game.

After the Lakers broke the record for the regular season, the media applauded, and the comments on the Internet were mixed.

Some people belittled the Lakers on the Internet, believing that the Lakers' 74 wins were not high, saying that the current NBA team is far inferior to the strength of the year, especially the defense is too poor, and it cannot be compared with the 7th and 80s.

Then these people began to enumerate how brave and good the NBA players of the "golden age" were, and how each team had a few unusually tough fighters, how they did wonderful boxing, free wrestling and beating each other on the court, and the most powerful one, one punch knocked out all the brains.

"Wait, aren't they playing basketball?"

"Playing ball also beats people, what is this special called toughness, do you understand? You see, these people who abide by the rules of basketball are soft ......"

Who can argue with this kind of post?

When Guo Xu saw this kind of comment, he felt that this kind of person was hopeless, as if there were many live broadcasts in the NBA at that time.

If it was really an old fan who went to the scene and watched a lot of games, he would never say that, because the physical condition of the players at that time could not be compared with modern ones, and the videos left behind were all thin and monkey-like, and the figure of "Tiangou" Abdul-Jabbar looked a little deformed, and those nameless thin people could carry O'Neal inside?

Such people are called "Ancient Blowers", and in their eyes the Ancient Blowers are good, although they may still be liquid at that time.

Of course, in the 21st century, we should also give enough respect to the players who have made the NBA gradually better, and they will not be able to do without them, they have all made outstanding contributions to the development of basketball.

If Chamberlain hadn't introduced professional training to the NBA, would we have been able to see these physically fit players from generation to generation? If it weren't for those dominant players who made the NBA expand by three seconds, would today's basketball game be so exciting? If there is no Baylor, the 8 sub-kings, how can the future 6 sub-kings and emperors be whitewashed?

Many of the "Ancient Blowers" have blown in the wrong direction, they have never thought about the training environment of the Ancient Legends, and they have not considered their food and lodging. They play in humble stadiums, wear canvas shoes, eat junk food, and get paid about the same salary as office workers, but what about the players now?

It is the hard work of those players of the older generation that has created a good environment for the current players, and modern people should be grateful, instead of boasting about how strong they are.

Only by telling the truth and understanding the truth can we feel the greatness of our predecessors more.

Fans who support the Lakers feel that it is normal for them to break the record, and it is not difficult to break it, because this Lakers team has the strongest roster depth in history.

The "OK Combination" has already led the team to win the championship last season to prove their strength, O'Neal is the league's double MVP, Kobe Bryant is the best team in the second team, and the best defensive team. Now that the Lakers have joined a super rookie who averages 20+ per game and dares to compete with Iverson, how can they not break the record?

To put it bluntly, the NBA is a business league, making money is the first priority, and promoting the NBA forward is a big goal, the Lakers broke the Bulls' 72-win record to show that the NBA is improving, Jordan is not an unsurpassable star, and David Stern must be happy.

The news media praised Guo Xu, and online fans not only discussed the best rookie, but also discussed the possibility of Guo Xu winning the best sixth man, which league officials took very seriously.

David Stern specially convened a meeting of officials to change the selection mechanism for the NBA's regular season awards.

"I'm sure everyone knows the discussion among online fans, and everyone wants to know if a player can win the Sixth Man of the Year award at the same time as the Rookie of the Year award," Stern said. There was no such precedent before, but now there is. Let's discuss whether you can set this precedent for Jason Guo? ”

A slender-faced, eye-catching, bald man in a suit and glasses was the first to raise his hand to speak, and he was Stern's assistant named Adam Silva.

"I think it's going to have to be this year, and according to the rules, the rookie of the year is the rookie competition, and the sixth guy is anyone can participate. Jason's stats were the best in both rankings, and I think it would be very controversial not to pick him.

After Silva finished speaking, everyone felt that there was nothing to discuss about this issue, and from the perspective of interests, the results were obvious.

Giving Guo Xu only one award will be controversial, and giving him two awards will become beneficial, which is a good gimmick, which can bring out a new star to attract attention in the playoffs.

Everyone agreed, Guo Xu finally entered the eyes of the president, and he was going to be praised. Otherwise, the referees blew fouls against him during the regular season, and he really couldn't play in the playoffs.

Then Stern discussed the issue of regular season MVP, he really wanted to give this award to Iverson, O'Neal had already won it once last season, and his popularity would not increase if he won the award again, everyone knew that he was good, and there was no need to go out of his way to win it.

How much does Stern like O'Neal? In 1996, O'Neal was named one Rookie of the Year award, one scoring title and one Finals experience in the honor book, and then he was selected as one of the NBA's top 50 superstars, and Stern was not worried about him suffering a major injury like Bill Wharton, and he has been in the limelight ever since.

In the NBA, Stern is the boss, and he really likes whoever he wants. Because the league needed new superstars to sell tickets and make money, McAdoo, who was the three-time scoring champion, MVP winner, and championship winner in 1996, was excluded from the top 50 superstars.

Now Iverson has a large number of fans, and an MVP can make him a superstar, making fans like him more and follow him. With only two scoring titles, there must be many people who don't believe that Iverson is a superstar, and always promoting his mental invincibility is not a long-term solution, this advantage is too ethereal.

Everyone discussed for more than half an hour, and no one came up with a good idea to prove to the fans that Iverson was better than O'Neal.

It's really hard to praise, Iverson's shooting rate is too low, he is the scoring champion, his average of 14.8 iron per game also ranks first in the league, and the efficiency list only ranks eighth in the league, behind Guo Xu and Kobe. This data is not to mention that he is fatter than Ao, who is the first in efficiency, and the two younger brothers can't compare.

In the end, there was no way, Stern decided to give the MVP to O'Neal, and it was difficult for anyone else to win the award. Iverson will look at the record as an MVP backup later, and as long as he leads the team to win the first place in the East one more time, he will be awarded the award.

What Stern didn't expect at this time was that he couldn't wait for that day, Iverson never led the team to a top-three finish in the East this year, and he retired earlier than Stern...... ()
