Li Wei didn't pay attention to the Most Improved Player award, the winner of this season in his previous life was Jalen Rose, and in this life he also thinks Rose deserves it.

As for himself, he also thinks that although his data is good, it does not help the team much, it is indeed a data brush, winning depends on the strength of his teammates, hugging his teammates' thighs, and the eyes of experts are very bright.

Compared with the Most Improved Player Award, Li Wei pays more attention to the best sixth man.

Because he has been playing off the bench, Nowitzki's statistics in this life have shrunk a lot from his previous life, averaging only 14.2 points and 5.6 boards per game. But because he played as a substitute, he is expected to win the Best Sixth Man Award!

In his previous life, the best sixth man this season was Rodney Rodgers of the Suns, averaging 13.8 points and 5.5 rebounds per game.

There is also a general consensus in the media that Nowitzki should be the best sixth man. Now the major media are talking about O'Neal's MVP, Mourning's best defense, Jalen Rose's most improved, Nowitzki's best sixth man, and of course, the best head coach.

Li Wei also pays attention to the best head coach, although Phil Jackson led the team to a brilliant record of 67 wins and 15 losses, but in the case of O'Neal's MVP, it is difficult for the best coach to belong to him!

In fact, Phil Jackson only won the best coach once in his previous life, when the Bulls had a 72-10 season, and the rest of the time, he was not considered by the judges!

With Jordan under your command, it's not surprising what kind of record you played, and in the same way, with O'Neal under your hand, can 67 wins be considered a lot?

If someone else can't bring O'Neill, it's someone else's incompetence, and if you can bring him well, it can only mean that you are very average!

If you can't eat grapes, there are people all over the world who say that grapes are sour!

In his previous life, the best coach of the season was Doug Rivers, and he was the first guy in NBA history to win the best coach without leading the team to the playoffs. But in this life, there is one important person missing from the Rivers team - Ben Wallace.

In the previous life, the iron-blooded defense line of the magic team composed of Big Ben and Big Bo was really terrifying. But in this life, Big Ben is in the Knicks, Rivers is very hard commanding, and his record is really good, but it still can't be compared with when he had Big Ben in his previous life!

In the previous life, they were 41-41 and only one win away from reaching the playoffs, but in this life they are only 37-45, although they are also ninth in the East, they are not enough to reach the edge of the playoffs!

Therefore, Rivers' call to become the best coach is not as high as in his previous life!

In contrast, although the Knicks won the championship last season, they were only eighth in the regular season, and this season they moved forward bravely, winning the best 63 wins in team history.

On April 20, Li Wei and the coaching staff selected a 12-man playoff squad, and Steve Kerr, Rashad Lewis, and Gates Joseph were left out of the playoff squad.

Li Wei chatted with these three people separately, to the effect that you are very good, but the team has the consideration of the team, you can't enter the squad this year and next year, don't give up your efforts!

Cole is optimistic that I have given up on treatment, and the white-collar salary is not yet good, and I find that I am really suitable to be a cheerleader.

Indeed, Kerr doesn't care about playing time, he signed a five-year contract with the Spurs, and now he has three years left, and he will be 38 years old at the end of his contract, and it is impossible to play again, so there is no need to fight for a new contract.

It's nice to save some effort!

Lewis was a little disappointed, he felt that he was better than Bowen, but Li Wei chose Bowen to be in the squad and did not choose him!

However, Li Wei said that as long as he continues to work hard, he will definitely be put in the squad next year, so even if Lewis is dissatisfied, he can only go back to the gym to practice hard.

Gates Joseph was mentally prepared, and his playing time in the regular season was pitiful. The big man has a decent mentality, and his goal is to get New York to exercise his contract option next season and not cut him, so he's been working hard to play O'Neal in training.

"David, it's a shame that you can't be the most improved player this season!" Dennis Johnson walked over and said.

Li Wei smiled: "Those awards are all floating clouds, and our goal is to win the championship!" ”

The two chatted for a few words, and KC Jones also walked over and said, "David, if you can't get the most improved player, it's really blind!" ”

Li Wei said in surprise: "Why are you all talking about this, I have not been in the discussion of the fastest progress, right?" ”

Dennis Johnson said: "It's true that no one talked about you before, and they all thought you were a brush, but towards the end of the season, your die-hard fan named Bill Simmons posted a few long articles analyzing your contribution to the team, and everyone is now complaining about you!" ”

The Boston Sports Forum is now one of the hottest basketball forums on the Internet, and the popularity of this forum is all due to Li Wei's push and advertising for them.

Bill Simmons has always been grateful to Li Wei, and when he found out that Li Wei himself was not in the evaluation of the most improved player, he was very angry and wrote 10 articles in one go, all of which discussed Li Wei's contributions.

Li Wei is known as a data brush, not without reason. Although he is always the one who lags behind the most on the field, but when he takes out the data and analyzes it, no one can really compare to him!

Bill Simmons seized on this, played to his strengths and avoided his weaknesses, insisted that the data would not lie, and cheered for Li Wei.

Jalen Rose has only improved by 7.1 points per game from 11.1 points to 18.2 points per game, while Li Wei has improved from 1.1 points to 11.1 points, an average improvement of 10 points per game!

Li Wei's progress is obviously greater!

Compared to other stats, Rose is no match for it.

Li Wei's average assists per game is 5.6, which is terrifying, and many teams' main point guards don't average as many assists per game as him.

For example, the Lakers, who are the first in the league, average only 3.4 assists per game for the main point guard Ron Harper. Well, Phil Jackson is famous for not using point guards, but if you look at the Trail Blazers, who are third in the league, Damon Stoudemire, who is averaging 5.2 assists per game this season, is still not as good as Li Wei!

Armstrong, last season's Sixth Minute and Most Improved Player, averaged 6.7 assists per game, which is remarkable, but his playing time was 30 minutes, and he belongs to the kind of main player who wears the skin of the bench!

Li Wei's average playing time is only 18 minutes, but he can average 5.6 assists per game, and looking at the history of the league, there are only a handful of backup point guards with this efficiency!

In the 86-87 season, the still young Stockton played 82 games, only 2 starts, playing an average of 22.7 minutes per game and dishing out 8.2 assists!

In the 88-89 season, the sophomore Boggs, who is 1.60 meters tall, is also playing on the bench, playing an average of 22.2 minutes per game and delivering 7.8 assists!

In the 69-70 season, the Rockets at that time were still called the San Diego Rockets, and Art Williams averaged 19.3 minutes per game and 6.3 assists!

In the 83-84 season, John Paxson averaged 9.3 minutes per game and 3.0 assists in his rookie year!

Are there any other substitutes who can compare to Li Wei in terms of assist efficiency?

No, that's basically all, all of them are demons, Li Weineng is enough to be called great compared to these people!

What's more, Li Wei can not only score, but also give assists, but also average 3.0 steals per game, which is the steal king of this season!

Steal data has always been the most intuitive defensive data, and it's just that a steal king is not said to be good, and he can't be scolded by everyone, right?

Maybe there is a flaw in the body, but Coach Lee's defensive enthusiasm is unquestionable!

Finally, Bill Simmons lamented that I don't understand why such a great player should not be included in the discussion of the Most Improved Award. Is it because he's the head coach? Or is it because his team has 63 wins?

Each of you said that Coach Lee was dragging the team down on the field, but what kind of burden could drag the team down to the best 63 wins in team history?

If there is such a burden, every team will go crazy, right?

As soon as Bill Simmons shouted, many media turned around, from criticizing Li Wei to singing praises.

It's not that they really think Li Wei's skills are outstanding, but because for a whole season, everyone is saying that Li Wei brushes the data, and readers are aesthetically tired, and if they don't change some new tricks, the newspaper won't sell well!

So suddenly, all the major media in the United States blew Li Wei into the wind, and everyone wanted to overturn the case for Li Wei!

Coincidentally, Li Wei's reversal of the case coincided with the award time at the end of the season.

The major awards of the NBA are judged by the media and reporters, and many reporters have seen that since Coach Li has swiped the data - oh no, it is a dazzling data, and he is not favored, then I will vote for him, I know the ball better than others!
