When Li Zhi was training at home, he received a call from Nelson, and the old coach was a little unstable.

"George, Mullin has confirmed that he will not renew the contract of Byron or Stephen, and we may lose a lot of players next season."

People have feelings, not to mention that Nelson personally brought Davis to the Warriors back then, and there was no response after the old coach finished speaking, and Li Zhi sighed in his heart.

Without waiting for Li Zhi to answer, Nelson continued: "But there's good news, you won the best rookie, inside information. ”

Li Zhi was slightly stunned by Nelson's words, and then relieved, Nelson has been in the league for so many years, this news is still relatively reliable, but it is pitiful to Durant.

Although he knew that he had won the best rookie, before the NBA official announcement, Li Zhi was still very nervous.

On April 29, the NBA officially announced that the NBA awards will be announced tonight.

In the United States, countless people sit in front of the TV and watch ESPN's live show. There is no live broadcast in China, but many fans are scrolling through the webpage over and over again, hoping to see news related to Li Zhi.

"First of all...... announce this year's All-Star team" Bill Simmons' trademark voice finally sounded, and the fans cheered up and listened, not missing a word.

NBA First Team: Chris Paul, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Kevin Garnett, Dwight Howard.

NBA All-NBA Second Team: Deron Williams, Steve Nash, Stoudemire, Nowitzki, Duncan.

NBA All-NBA Team Three: Ginobili, Maddy, Pierce, Boozer, Yao Ming.

There is not much controversy about this ranking, and many fans are upset about their stars even if they complain, and overall this list is fair.

Next up was the announcement of the All-Defensive Team, with Bruce Bowen, Kobe, Camby, Duncan, and Garnett in the best defensive lineup.

All-Defensive Team 2: Paul, Prince, Battier, Ragabel, Howard.

The only controversy is that Howard, who is excellent defensively, turned out to be only a second team.

Next, the individual awards were announced.

The Most Improved Player went to Magic's Sido Turkoglou, who averaged 19.5 points, 5.7 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game this season, up from 13.3 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists last season.

The best coach award was given to D'Antoni, Phoenix Suns (55-27), who has been running for several years in a row; Ranked sixth in the West with a win rate of 67%, D'Antoni is a big contributor.

The Sixth Man of the Year was won by Spurs' Ginobili, who also became a strange presence, both named to the All-Star Team and won the Sixth Man of the Year.

Kevin Garnett, the 6-foot-11 tall, is averaging 18.8 points, 9.2 rebounds (7.3 defensive rebounds), 1.2 blocks and 1.4 steals per game this season, and he dished out seven blocks against the Bulls on Dec. 13, which is also the highest season for the Celtics.

With Garnett's help, the Celtics have a league-best regular season record of 66-16 (80.5 percent win rate) and a 31-10 record on the road (73.8 percent win rate).

The Celtics are averaging 90.3 points per game this season (second in the league), compared to 99.2 last season. In addition, the Celtics have won 42 more games this season than last season (24-58), breaking the record held by the Spurs for a single-season improvement in NBA history of 36 games (1997-98).

A veteran of 12 seasons in the league, Garnett became the 32nd player in NBA history and the fourth active player to score more than 20,000 career points against the Grizzlies on March 9.

The other three active players are Shaq O'Neal (26,296 points) for the Suns, Allen Iverson (22,988 points) for the Nuggets, and Kobe Bryant (21,619 points) for the Lakers.

The next award for the best rookie will be presented, which is the most tangled award besides MVP, because the performances of both Li Zhi and Durant are historic.

But at the moment when Bill Simmons announced, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Rookie of the Year 2007-2008 – George Lee from the Golden State Warriors."

Domestic, it boiled in an instant.

Countless fans poured into "Li Zhi's Bar", and countless people wrote their feelings on QQ Space and blogs. Yao Ming didn't fight Stoudemire back then, but today Li Zhi defeated Durant, and Chinese fans are extremely proud.

Sohu, Sina, Hupu, Tencent and other major sports sectors all put the news of Li Zhi winning the best rookie at the top, even the news of Kobe Bryant's MVP is also under this news.

Li Zhi was not carried away by the excitement, and at this moment Li Zhi was looking at the system's rewards in the system space.

This is the reward for the main quest, and it is also a passive skill.

Crawford's Dribbling Skill: Purple Skill, the user has Crawford's Dribbling Ability, with Special Effect: Phantom.

Phantom: Combined with Crawford's layup action, it can improve the layup shooting percentage.

Seeing this skill, Li Zhi couldn't help but feel a pain in the egg, where did labor and management find Crawford for a layup?

Li Zhi touched his chin, Crawford is his teammate, maybe he can ask Crawford for advice, although it is not as good as the system, but it should be able to help a little.

Just do it, Li Zhi immediately called Crawford, after hearing Li Zhi's request, Crawford smiled dumbly, the same teammates, Crawford of course does not mind communicating with Li Zhi, in fact, in the NBA, it is common for teammates to learn from each other.

The two made an appointment and met in the stadium, Crawford explained in detail, but Li Zhi was difficult to learn, although the Anthony star card was gone, but the influence of the Anthony star card was still there.

There is no Anthony hit rate, but the basic moves Li Zhi can still do.

……

In the days when Li Zhi and Crawford learned from each other, the NBA playoffs were also approaching.

The Lakers swept the Nuggets 4-0, and Kobe Bryant had the last laugh in the matchup with the Nuggets, sending the two guns home to fish with a crazy performance, sending the Lakers to the Western Conference semifinals.

Anthony once again stopped in the first round of the playoffs, Iverson's championship dream was shattered again, and Kobe Bryant finally led the team to the stage of the Western Conference semifinals. The Nuggets had a short-lived counterattack in the third quarter, and Bryant exploded in the final quarter to escort the Lakers through the sweep.

In the final promotion battle, Kobe Bryant fought for 41 minutes and 30 seconds, shooting 50% of 24 from the field, scoring a game-high 31 points, while contributing 7 rebounds and 6 assists, and 3 steals and 2 blocks in defense were also very eye-catching.

Kobe Bryant proved with his performance what a superstar is and what an MVP-level player is. The Nuggets didn't have a bad performance either, with Anthony scoring 21 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists on 8-of-20 shooting, and Iverson scoring 22 points and 2 assists on 10-of-22 shooting.

But under Kobe's brilliance, the Nuggets' 43 points with two guns looked so pale and powerless, and it became the focus of Kobe's crazy performance.

This is an unexpected and logical ending.

In the matchup between the two sides, no one believed that the Nuggets could stop Kobe Bryant from reaching the second round, and no one thought that the Nuggets would send Kobe Bryant and the Lakers to advance in a rout after four games.

The Nuggets have already lost confidence, and Kobe Bryant and the Lakers are getting more and more feeling, showing good chemistry.

From the outset, the competition reflected these two very different states of competition.

In the first half of the game, Bryant shot 6 of 11 in 21 minutes, 2 of 4 three-pointers, and 1 of 3 three-pointers, and scored 15 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 1 rebound.

Iverson scored 14 points on 6-of-10 shooting and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line, but he didn't contribute anything in assists or steals. Anthony finished with 12 points, five rebounds and one assist on 4-of-9 shooting and 4-of-6 free throws.

In terms of scoring, the Nuggets outperformed Kobe Bryant with two guns, but neither Iverson nor Anthony failed to combine individual offense with the whole like Kobe Bryant, leading the whole team and revitalizing the whole team's offense.

In the whole game, the Nuggets only had the basket in their eyes, Kobe Bryant not only had the basket in his eyes, but more often he also had teammates in his eyes, and the Lakers' first offense was Kobe Bryant's high post to assist Odom to complete.

Kobe Bryant's passing assist can find Gasol on the inside and shooters on the perimeter.

Under the leadership of Kobe, the Lakers' offense has inside and outside, and the collective attack power is in stark contrast to the single firepower of the Nuggets' two guns, if it weren't for JR Smith's use of individual ability to give fire support, the Nuggets were wiped out by Kobe Bryant and the entire Lakers at halftime.

In the third quarter, the Nuggets led the team's counterattack with two guns, and it looked like the last struggle before dying. Iverson dared to fight, resolutely and needlessly attacked the Lakers defense, scored difficult points, and could still hit the basket when his body fell on the floor, just for his last dignity as a warrior.

Anthony was also working hard, struggling, and hoping to pinch the whole team together, and his long-distance ground-hitting pass, a very brilliant assist allowed Kreza to dunk and score, leveling the score at 85, and once gave hope to Pepsi center fans.

Unfortunately, with Kobe Bryant and the Lakers in the way, the Nuggets can only say goodbye to this season with heartache.

When Bryant penetrated the Nuggets' defense again and again, Anthony's two-handed dunk even dunked on the neck of the basket, and when JR Smith broke out, Bryant tore the Nuggets' heart with a more ferocious offense.

When Martin and Anthony were defending Kobe Bryant, hanging their heads or standing on the sidelines to watch Kobe Bryant's performance, when Iverson's deep eyes watched the situation on the court, Kobe Bryant easily drew a successful end to the Lakers' victory at the free throw line.
