Chapter 220 Win the MVP!

With 3 minutes and 17 seconds left in the game, Miller had already scored 30 points, and Rivers called a timeout.

Then they stood up and began to applaud Miller.

Indiana fans in Conseco Fieldhouse also stood up and applauded Miller.

At this moment, Miller's eyes were already red.

When Lin Yu saw this scene, he could only sigh at the cruelty of competitive sports.

Then the Celtics players came forward and hugged Miller.

hum!
As the timer reached the end, the Celtics defeated the Pacers 98:91, sweeping the series 4:0 and advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals.

After the game, Miller knelt in front of the Pacers' logo, gave it a final kiss, and then left the court without looking back amid the applause of the fans.

After seeing this scene, Payton became more determined to leave the Pacers in the summer.

If it weren't for Miller and him, this season, Artest and O'Neal Jr. would have made the locker room a mess because of the struggle for leadership.

While playing, you also have to worry about locker room issues.

After experiencing the disintegration of OK and the leadership battle with the Pacers, Payton decided to look for a championship-contending team, and definitely not one like this one.

Losing the game is fine, but I still have so much to worry about!
After Lin Yu finished celebrating with his teammates.

Return to the locker room and start taking a shower.

Boom!

When I was halfway through washing, there was a knock on the door.

Then Rivers' voice came: "Lin! Good news! You won another award!"

Lin Yu won the 2004-05 regular season MVP!

This piece of news instantly shocked the entire Meili family and Longguo.

Coach Zhang, Yao Ming and others sent text messages to Lin Yu to wish him a happy new year.

Many sports newspapers in Longguo had Lin Yu winning the regular season MVP as their headline!

There are players in NBA history who won the regular season MVP in their rookie season.

For example, Marshal Zhang and "Bone Crusher" Wes Unseld.

Zhang Dashuai averaged 37.6 points and 27 rebounds per game in his rookie season.

At the same time, the Philadelphia Warriors ranked second in the Eastern Conference with a record of 49 wins and 26 losses, 15 more wins than last season.

With such a record and data, the regular season MVP is well deserved.
Why is Wes Unseld nicknamed 'The Bone Crusher'?

Because his defense is excellent and his rebounding ability is quite strong.

After a game, the center who played against him was almost exhausted. His confrontational and oppressive defense would cause devastating damage to the opponent's body.

With a height of 2.01 meters, he averaged 13.8 points, 18.2 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game in his rookie season.

His Washington Shield Bullets (the predecessor of the Washington Shield Wizards) won 21 more games than the previous season.

He led the Bullets to a league-best record of 57 wins, and the team's record rose from sixth in the Eastern Conference to first in the Eastern Conference.

Zhang Dashuai and Bone Crusher won the regular season MVP, and there was no problem with either their record or their statistics.

林禹场均可以获得31.2分10.4篮板5.8助攻2.1盖帽1.6抢断。

While winning the scoring title, he also led the Celtics to the best record in the Eastern Conference.

Winning the regular season MVP is naturally well deserved.

Although Lin Yu had expected to win the regular season MVP, he was still very happy.

However, what made Lin Yu a little helpless was that the DPOY was still given to Da Ben.

In fact, in terms of defensive efficiency, Lin Yu and Big Ben are indeed on par with each other.

But in the end, Lin Yu still lost to Daben.

The main reason is still the team.

After all, the Pistons' big five have the best defensive efficiency in the league.

Although Lin Yu felt a little helpless, he didn't take it to heart.

After all, his career doesn't end after this season. But he needs to make his attitude clear in front of the media.

After eliminating the Pacers, Lin Yu returned to Boston with the news of winning the regular season MVP.

At this time, reporters had already been waiting at the airport, ready to interview Lin Yu.

As soon as Lin Yu got off the plane, he was surrounded by reporters.

"Lin Yu, can you tell me how it feels to win the regular MVP?"

"As the first regular season MVP after Bird, what do you want to say now?"

"As the player who won the scoring title and regular season MVP after Iverson, do you think you can replicate Iverson's record?"

"..."

Facing the reporter's questions, Lin Yu also began to answer.

"I feel very happy. If I have to say anything else, I think it's a little regretful!"

Pity!?
The reporters were also a little confused at this time, but they still waited patiently for Lin Yu to continue.

“I thought I could win DPOY, but unfortunately I didn’t make it.

Good guy!
Reporters at the scene exclaimed, "Wow!"

Only four people in NBA history have won the regular season MVP and DPOY.

They are Steve Jobs, O'Hara, David Robinson and Harden.

In the original history, Harden won the DPOY in 08, but now there are only three people like him.

The only two to win MVP and Defensive Player of the Year in a season are Steve Jobs and Hakeem Olajuwon.

If the scoring champion is included, there will be three players in NBA history who can win these three honors.

There are only Boss Joe and David Robinson!
"Lin Yu, do you think you are more qualified to win DPOY than Ben Wallace?"

"It's not that Ben Wallace doesn't deserve the DPOY, but I think my performance is not inferior to Ben Wallace's."

"I have every chance of winning DPOY!"

Big Ben's defense is indeed at a historical level.

Apart from some height issues, there are basically no other problems.

Winning DPOY four times in his career is a recognition of his defense.

Lin Yu said this in preparation for next year's DPOY.

"Lin Yu, are you looking forward to playing against the Pistons in the next round? Prove to the outside world that you are the most suitable candidate for DPOY?"

"If possible, I hope my next opponent is the Pistons."

Lin Yu's voice was very calm, but after it spread to the outside world, it instantly caused an uproar!
Countless fans began heated discussions.

"Lin Yu thinks too much. Does he think his defense is better than Ben's?"

"It's obvious that the person above has never watched Lin Yu's game. Anyone who has watched Lin Yu's game will not say that Ben's defense is better than Lin Yu's!"

"The Pistons have too many defensive stalwarts. The Celtics only have one player, Battier, who was acquired through a mid-season trade. Lin Yu is really both a father and a mother to the Celtics."

"Boris Dio, Tyronn Lue, and Old Penny all rely on Lin Yu to clean up their messes. Does anyone really think that the Celtics' players are all good at defense?"

"..."

ESPN also took advantage of the situation and directly launched a program.

We invited Mr. Pi, Uncle Mu who was on vacation, and the Smiling Assassin to discuss Lin Yu's defense compared to Ben.

Although the three of them had different opinions, the popularity of the topic was successfully raised.

Big Ben then became the focus of everyone.

When facing the interview from the reporter, Ben's answer was also very firm.

"I am looking forward to playing against Lin Yu in the next round. I will use my actions to show everyone that I am the real DPOY!"

then……

The Pistons lost!
