Chapter 187 Zhou Mubai's Confidence!
While other teams are still playing in the fifth or sixth game of the first round, the first game of the Magic and the Knicks has already started.
The Orlando Center is crowded with Magic fans. The Magic have achieved good results in recent years and fans are willing to support them.
After the closed-door meeting, the Knicks players all settled down one by one. Compared to their impetuousness before, they are much calmer now.
As the two teams that were the first to enter the second round, they received a lot of attention, and espn also paid great attention. Van Gundy, Mike Bryn and Mark Jackson of espn all came to the scene to broadcast live.
Fans actually like the espn trio, especially the Knicks fans. They especially like the scenes where Van Gundy praising Zhou Mubai. Some fans of Zhou Mubai specially cut a short film for Van Gundy. The scenes where Van Gundy praising Zhou Mubai actually cut a thirty-minute short film and wealthy, which is worthy of being the title of the first week.
The game has not yet begun, and Van Gundy Jr. started again. Even though the head coach of the Magic is his elder brother Stan Van Gundy, he still whispers Zhou Mubai.
"Before the game has not started yet, let's report on the recent selection of various awards. The selection results of the MVP, the greatest honor of the regular season, have been released. Zhou Mubai was elected with unanimous votes. Let me see how many times have the rookie players in NBA history been elected to MVP in the regular season..."
Mike Bryn smiled: "I've checked it, there are quite a few people, there are two!"
Mark Jackson couldn't help laughing. Mike Brynn was too naughty. Although Zhou Mubai was elected as the third rookie player, the NBA has produced many geniuses for decades, and only two were produced. It is conceivable how difficult it is to achieve this. In Mike Brynn's mouth, there were two of them~!
Little Van Gundy angrily said, "Naughty!"
Van Gundy's twisted attitude made the other two burst into laughter, and it took a while to calm down.
Mike Brynn said seriously: "In fact, it is very difficult to do this, after all, even the two great players, Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan, did not do it.
The people who achieved these two in history were Chamberlain and Anseld. Everyone knows Chamberlain, but everyone may not know Anseld. It doesn’t matter. I will introduce it to you more details.
Many people don’t know that Chamberlain was not a player selected through the NBA draft, but he has set countless records of unprecedented and unparalleled.
In his rookie season, he was able to score 37.6 points and 27.0 rebounds per game in 72 games, and was ranked first in the NBA in the season. He led the Warriors, who were at the bottom of the Eastern Conference in the previous season, to the second regular season record in the league and to the Eastern Conference Finals. Oh, yes, the Warriors were still in Philadelphia at the time and belonged to the Eastern Conference!
You should know that in the long NBA history, only 5 players have averaged 35.0 per game per season! Therefore, Chamberlain became the All-Star starter and was elected as the All-Star MVP, selected as the Best Team, and won the Best Rookie and the Regular Season MVP!
He deserves this honor, and there is no controversy at all, but it is normal. He is Chamberlain after all!" Mike Brin shrugged.
Van Gundy clapped and encouraged him to continue talking.
Mike Brin smiled and continued: "However, Anselder's MVP is a bit controversial. By the way, it is normal for everyone not to know Anselder. He is just a blue-collar worker in his entire career. His highest average score per game in his 13-year NBA career was only 16.2 points.
He is a true rookie who is at the peak. In his rookie season, he averaged 13.8 points and 18.2 rebounds per game in 82 regular season games.
If his data is the best, then there is no problem if he gets MVP. The problem is that the number one pick in the same class was 28.4 points and 17.1 rebounds in 82 regular season games!
Anseld's data is far from the No. 1 pick, but in the Best Rookie selection, Unseld won 53 of 78 votes and 53 of 103 votes in the regular season MVP selection!
In this way, Anseld became the second rookie season in NBA history to win both the Rookie and the regular season MVP.
However, the rookie season is also the pinnacle of Unseld's NBA career. He has never been selected into the All-A-Series and the Best Defensive Team in the following 12 seasons of his NBA career."
Mike Bryn spread his hands and smiled, "It sounds amazing, right? But this happened. For me personally, this MVP is too humble and has no convincing power at all. Zhou Mubai's regular season MVP is even more valuable than Chamberlain's one.
We can say that although Zhou Mubai is the third player to do this, in terms of value, he is the real first!"
"Absolutely!" Van Gundy smiled, "In another dimension, Zhou Mubai is the first MVP to win a triple-double per game with a large size. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is an MVP among MVPs!..."
Van Gundy Little had to continue blowing. Mark Jackson quietly poked him, indicating that the game had begun. Van Gundy Little could only shut up reluctantly.
Mike Bryn immediately followed up: "OK, the game has begun. Now the Magic are on the court, Vince Carter, Matt Barnes, Sharard Lewis, Jamison Nelson, and Dwight Howard!
The players on the Knicks are Zhou Mubai, Galinali, Kevin Martin, Antoine Jamison and Tyson Chandler!”
In the middle circle, Howard jumped up like a spring and took the lead in dialing the ball to Nelson.
The Knicks dribbled quickly through the half and found Howard for the first time. Howard received the ball at the low post to prepare for a single. Zhou Mubai was quite interested in the match between Chandler and Howard.
The reason why he has great confidence in this season is that he comes from Chandler.
This Glass man, who has been injured and stopped in the past two years, showed his toughness after coming to the Knicks. Among the many centers in the league, Chandler may have a worse offensive method than other centers, but he can at least achieve the role of a dugout.
The real core of the Magic is Howard, and the root of his strength is Howard, not only because of Howard's outstanding role on the defensive end, but also reflected in his devastatingness on the offensive end.
Howard did not score many points on the offensive end, but came from his restraint. When he received the ball from the inside, the opponent had to hit him, so that opportunities appeared on the outside. This is the basis of the so-called semicircle tactic.
However, in the regular season, Howard did not obviously take advantage against Chandler. After the All-Star game, in the last game between the Magic and the Knicks, Chandler scored 10 points, 14 rebounds and 2 blocks, and Howard scored 13 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks. It seems that Chandler has the upper hand.
