186. There is always someone who wants to be the best(1/2)

As the biggest favorite of MVP, Jordan has not won the Player of the Month this season, making history.

Just when people thought Jordan would continue to create history and win all the first votes to get the regular season MVP, let alone whether Anthony Hardaway, Payton, and David Robinson could have taken away some first votes, Zhang Hao, the rookie, directly took away the first vote of CNY!

Now Zhang Hao's situation of being on popular news is similar to Damon Stoudemire's best rookie announcement, but the degree is even more serious, and the host of the TV station that broadcasts the news is even more intense.

When Zhang Hao saw this news, he felt that Jordan would not pay attention to him in the future, let alone teach him anything.

But, despite this, he felt so good!

I even wanted to call and ask Jordan if he was angry... I still resisted this kind of act of dying.

But I don’t know when it started, but Zhang Hao became very enjoying this kind of popularity.

Los Angeles will really change someone...

"Since you've played in the NBA, are you still afraid of showing off?"

This is a psychological portrayal of Zhang Hao’s current life.

Of course, in order to maintain his personality, he still tries to keep himself low-key. At least, it looks like he is a low-key person.

Now it’s not for the sake of despicable development. The regular season has played like that. In the first round, even teams like the Kings have been fighting for life to prevent him. They rely on low-key to show weakness in front of their opponents and wait for opportunities to develop despicable development. It is obviously not feasible.

He is still low-key now because he discovered that it is cool to maintain the low-key character...

It is such a noble and pure reason, it is such a simple and unpretentious idea.

However, he actually got the first vote for the best team vote, which made Zhang Hao understand one thing that the media's view of their Lakers may be very different from the future media's view of the 60-win Hawks.

Although the Hawks had four players selected as All-Star substitutes, no player got the first vote when voting for the Best Team, and in the end, no one was selected as the Best Team, making history.

Having the first vote does not mean that you can be selected for the first time. In the most extreme case, it is possible that you can get the most first vote but cannot be selected for the best team.

For example, 125 first votes were taken away by 12 people, and one person got 15 first votes, and then no one chose him for the second and third votes, but instead selected another six players...

The current situation is obviously not an extreme situation. He cannot get the most first votes, but someone voted for him on the first vote...

"Maybe I can really be selected into the best team? Even in the third team, it will be awesome!

Are there any high school rookies selected for the best team? No!"

Zhang Hao became excited at this time.

And the teammates have a very different view from Zhang Hao.

It’s not that they think Zhang Hao can’t be selected for the best team, but that when they ended the regular season and locked in the West to enter the playoffs, they decided that the player with the greatest probability of their team being selected for the best team was Zhang Hao, and they felt that Zhang Hao would definitely be selected.

They hadn't talked about this topic before, because they thought that Zhang Hao might not care about this...

It is sometimes quite troublesome to set up people too steadily.

...

Media always guide the topic in extreme directions, so that they can attract more attention.

A reporter from CNN just voted for Zhang Hao. The next morning, the news that Zhang Hao saw was already discussing whether he deserved to be selected for the best team.

"I really hope this is tomorrow morning's news..."

Hearing Zhang Hao's nagging, April Clark was more confident: "I think tomorrow will definitely be the news that you will be selected for the best team."

Xi Shi appeared in the lover's eyes? Zhang Hao nodded seriously: "You are right, I think the MVP should be me."

"Yes, yes, MVP, don't just know how to eat desserts and eat more vegetables."

"good……"

Zhang Hao felt that it was so good that he was being taken care of now.

He discovered that young girls, when they were eighteen or nineteen or twenty, seemed to be prone to maternal love to flood, and they would be the one who cares about people in their relationship.

But as I get older, the older I feel that I should be a princess, and I want others to treat her as a princess...

In addition to the news about the best team, there is also the battle report from last night this morning.

Zhang Hao watched the game live broadcast, but the game between the Supersonics and the Spurs was nothing to watch.

Sean Elliott scored 29 points and 7 assists, but he couldn't win when David Robinson made 1 of 6 shots after 11 minutes and was forced to leave the field.

Kemp scored 13 points and 19 rebounds, Payton scored 23 points and 12 assists, 95-75, and the Supersonics slaughtered the Spurs and won their first victory in the second round.

The other game was much better. The Knicks played away and did a very good job in defense, leading the Bulls 67-61 in the first three quarters.

Jordan threw 22 times in the first three quarters, only hit 8 times, and scored 20 points, with extremely low efficiency.

But in the final quarter, Jordan scored 24 points and 4 steals in a single quarter, leading the team to a 30-18 counterattack, completing the reversal, turning the tables 91-85, winning the first victory in the second round.

In this game, Jordan made 17 of 35 shots, including 9 of 13 shots in the last quarter, plus 10 of 10 shots in the game, so he scored 44 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 6 steals.

Jordan, who won the 34th single-game playoff game in his career, did not accept the post-match interview...

"This is because Jordan has not won the best of the month or the unanimous MVP, so he is autistic and wants to beat his opponent to autistic?"

What shocked Zhang Hao was the record of 40+ single-game playoffs posted in the newspaper. Other players won a total of 35 single-game games in the playoffs. This is the only way to lead Jordan this year's playoffs except Jordan, including him, Zhang, to win 40+ single-game games, which is one game ahead of Jordan.

This time, this time, 40+ in a single game is Jordan's second time this year to win 40+ in a single game this year.

"That is to say, before the start of the playoffs, active players in the league won a total of 64 playoff games of 40+, and Jordan occupied half of the game!"

...

...

At 12 noon on May 4, 1996, the NBA official chose CNY in New York to broadcast the awards live.

The person who announced the awards this time was NBA President David West.

After a long opening remark as in previous years, David Stern's face was filled with smiles, as if he saw the fans in front of the TV want to change the channel or turn off the TV, but he was reluctant to leave it. He began to present the award with satisfaction.

"This year, there have been many teams in the NBA with amazing performances, among which the Chicago Bulls are the most shocking..."

After this sentence, the audience who were watching the live broadcast program in front of the TV already knew who the MVP was.

It was not surprising at all. Since the Bulls secured the regular season championship, this award has lost all the suspense.

Because of that man's personal performance, he is definitely the best in the league, whether it is efficiency, data, or victory contribution rate.

Moreover, the man played a more powerful comprehensive performance than he had won the regular season MVP in the previous few seasons.

“…I announce that the Bulls player Michael Jordan won the 1995-1996 NBA regular season Most Valuable Player Award!”

After David Stern announced that Jordan won the award, the live broadcast screen switched to the voting results.

Michael Jordan won 120 of the 125 first votes with a first-choice rate of 96.4%, and 600 of the total score of 1,582 points with a first-choice rate of 96.4%, winning the fourth regular season MVP of his career with an absolute crushing attitude!

Seeing that Jordan only received 120 first votes, many people felt uneasy!

Anthony Hardaway won 2 first votes, Zhang Hao won 1 first vote, Barkley won 1 first vote, and David Robinson won 1 first vote.

All the regular season player of the month winners this season except Zhu Wan Howard and Pippen won the first vote.

David Robinson got 20% of the votes, with a total of 316 points, ranking second in the vote list, Anthony Hardaway got 12.5% ​​of the votes, Olajuwon got 8% of the votes, fourth in the votes, Payton got 7.6% of the votes, and Malone got 2.3% of the votes, sixth in the votes...

Zhang Hao scored 1.2% of the votes, with 19 points, ranking tenth.

What I saw was that Anfini Hardaway received the most first votes except Jordan, and four people except Jordan won the first votes.

But many people's anger at Jordan's failure to get the unanimous MVP was concentrated on one player Zhang Hao.

The awards are still going on, there is no suspense to MVP, but the best defensive player has some suspense.

There are many popular favorites for the best defensive player this year. Jordan played the best defensive efficiency of his career, and the Bulls also played a exploding performance of 14+ points per game.

Payton played a defensive performance that could be called the point guard ceiling. He made the point guard who has always been very limited and has the least contribution of team defense to become the team's defense leader. If he wins the award, he will be directly awarded the defensive end of the point guard position. Players in the other four positions have won the best defensive player, and the point guard is a position that is regarded as impossible to win.

Last season's best defensive player Mutombo was at his peak, and his defensive performance was still the same. He is regarded as the best defensive player in the league today, but his record is dragging him down.

There are also popular ones such as David Robinson, Olajuwon, and Mooning.

After another unspread and lengthy introduction, David Stern announced the award: "...I announced that the Supersonics player Gary Payton won the 1995-1996 NBA regular season best defensive player award."

Directly become a god!

Scoring guards have won the best defensive player many times, and small forwards have already won the best defensive player. Power forwards have Rodman, and centers are the positions that have won the most best defensive players.

Only the point guard is seen as impossible to win the best defensive player, and Payton broke this barrier... He personally broke the barrier and won this award!

The voting details that were switched to later exceeded the audience's expectations.

The Best Defensive Player is different from the MVP, and is the same as the Best Rookie. Without a point system like the second and third votes, whoever gets the most votes will be whoever gets.

Payton got 49.56 votes, 62 out of 125 votes, which is more than Pippen, who was 2nd to 5th, Mutombo's 12 votes, Jordan's 7 votes, and David Robinson's 6 votes combined!

This is indeed a surprise, and it is also a crushing award.

It is a little different from previous years. After the release of MVP and DPOY, the best defensive lineup will be announced first.

In terms of the second team of the All-Defensive Team, the Cavaliers' Bobby Philes, the Hawks' Muchi Brecklow, the Pacers' Derek McKay, the Magic's Horeth Grant, and the Rockets' Olajuwon were selected together.

In terms of the first team of the best defensive lineup, Supersonics' Gary Payton, Bulls' Jordan, Bulls' Pippen, Bulls' Rodman, and Spurs' David Robinson were selected together.

When the First Defense was announced, there were curses in many houses in the United States...

Next comes the announcement of the best lineup.
To be continued...
