Chapter 425 Who Can Defend Dirk?

Is there anyone in the current league who can defend Dirk?

Regarding this question from the old coach Sloan...

On May 18th, before the start of the Eastern and Western Conference Finals, the judges responsible for selecting the major awards for the 06/07 regular season gave the world their answer with their votes.

Dirk Nowitzki, who averaged 26.8 points, 9.5 rebounds, and 3.3 assists for the Dallas Mavericks in the regular season, became the second foreign regular season MVP in the NBA after Su Feng. (Note 1)

As Su Feng had predicted.

Although the Celtics had a better regular season record this season, because the other players on the Greens also performed well, Duncan ultimately only finished third in this year's regular season MVP voting.

And as for second place?

Not!

Xiao Zhan Zhan (Little LeBron) just suffered an unbearable pain in the division semifinals...

So, what does this mean...

You still want to rub salt in his wounds?

Fengmi (Su Feng fans): But if we don't rub salt in James' wounds, what if our Su Feng *giegie* (older brother) feels wronged?

Online, regarding Nowitzki being elected as this season's regular season MVP...

Most Fengmi believe there is no problem.

Because with Su Feng already having four consecutive regular season MVPs last season, apart from Su Feng's die-hard fans, most rational Fengmi believe it's time for Feng Huang (Emperor Feng) to leave a way out for the kids.

But...

Why is it that James' stats aren't as good as Su Feng's, yet he was ranked second in this regular season MVP voting?

A fix!

This is definitely a fix!

We must seek justice for our handsome Su Feng *giegie*!

The league: You insist on seeking justice for Su Feng, right?

Fengmi: We must!

The league: Then why don't you continue to scroll down and see what else is there?

May 18, 2007.

Chinese player Su Feng was awarded the 06/07 season NBA Defensive Player of the Year award, also his second time winning the award in his professional career. Just so you know!

"Indeed, Stern knows how to play the balance beam!"

Actually...

For Su Feng, who has been winning awards left and right these past few years, the Defensive Player of the Year award, even if the league didn't *py* (sexual harassment/deal) it to him, he would have felt "whatever."

Because if we're really talking about being wronged...

In Su Feng's previous life, Duncan never even won a DPOY!

However, aside from a certain famous commentator with the surname Ma, after Duncan retires in the future, who will question Duncan's defense?

Also, didn't Jordan only win one DPOY?

But in the NBA, does anyone dare to criticize Jordan's defense?

Wake up!

Even Carter, who has always been *te li te qi* (unique), might not have the guts.

To put it bluntly, as one of the NBA's most important individual awards...

Stern can't just keep giving you this award because your defense is recognized as the best.

Because if that were the case...

If you eat all the meat, how can the NBA talk about diversity and sustainable development?

But this year...

Is an exception.

Because even if the Heat's record is "not good"...

They are still third in the East.

So Stern is very clear...

With Su Feng's individual performance still maxed out, he must also make some compensation for Su Feng's generosity in previous interviews.

As early as during the regular season, Su Feng had been repeatedly asked by reporters about the fact that he wasn't in the top five of the 06/07 season MVP rankings.

However, contrary to what these reporters who only wanted to stir up trouble thought...

During the interviews, Su Feng not only thought this year's MVP selection was very "fair," but he also kept supporting Nowitzki.

Look!

What is called *ge ju* (overall situation/mindset)?

No exaggeration...

If Michael Jordan had even one-tenth of Su Feng's *ge ju* back then...

Then why would Stern have needed to painstakingly maintain his image behind the scenes?

Therefore...

Since the world now believes that Su Feng has surpassed Jordan...

Then why doesn't the league let Su Feng surpass a certain Jordan's one-time award with two Defensive Player of the Year awards?

And after the NBA gave this year's DPOY to Su Feng...

Camby, who should have won the DPOY this season, was also lucky enough to escape a disaster.

In Su Feng's previous life, because Camby's stats were even more inflated than someone's novels...

So, after winning this DPOY...

Camby actually became a famous laughing stock in the NBA.

But now...

Camby no longer has to worry about a bunch of haters constantly criticizing him online for choosing out-of-position defense that disregards his teammates' lives in order to get block stats...

Of course...

After not winning this DPOY, the contract Camby can get in the future when renewing with other teams will definitely be greatly reduced.

But what does that have to do with Su Feng?

Because since everyone is刷数据 (shua shuju, grinding stats) based on their own abilities...

Then if you have the ability, be like Su Feng and beat everyone into submission.

Otherwise...

Even if you are a dragon, you have to cower in front of Su Feng.

And on the day the NBA officially announced the major awards for the regular season...

In addition to Nowitzki winning MVP and Su Feng winning DPOY...

Roy also took away the 06/07 season's Rookie of the Year.

In addition, the NBA Coach of the Year for the 06/07 season was awarded to Miller Carl.

Because the Celtics successfully broke their team's regular season best record this season, Carl's award is also reasonable.

The Most Improved Player award and the Sixth Man of the Year award were won by Wade and Terry respectively.

During the regular season, Wade averaged 30.5 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 7.3 assists for the Hawks this season.

If...

Wade was only seen as an average star last season...

Then this season, in the eyes of many, he is already one of the best shooting guards in the league.

And Terry, who won the Sixth Man of the Year award for the second time in his career, relied on the Mavericks' record bonus.

Because the Mavericks were at the top of the West this season...

So in the final selection, most judges voted Terry with their first-place votes.

As for the annual All-NBA Team and All-Defensive Team selections?

This day, looking at the "Four Great Shooting Guards" who were all standing with crutches, preparing to go to Boston with him...

Anyway, regarding the selection results for this year's All-NBA Team...

In Su Feng's words:

Whoever is missing will be embarrassed!

The 2006/2007 NBA All-NBA Team is as follows:

First Team: Yao Ming, Nowitzki, Su Feng, Wade, James.

Second Team: Stoudemire, Duncan, Garnett, McGrady, Nash.

Third Team: Howard, Marion, Anthony, Kobe, Iverson.

The 2006/2007 NBA All-Defensive Team is as follows:

First Team: Howard, Duncan, Su Feng, Wade, Kidd.

Second Team: Camby, Garnett, Artest, Tony Allen, Rondo.

Affected by Kobe's serious injury this time, Wade became a First Team guard earlier than Su Feng remembered.

And, if Su Feng remembers correctly...

"Two First Teams" is also an achievement that Wade in his memory had never achieved.

Because Stern, who has always adhered to the principle of "not putting all your eggs in one basket," is very clear that after Kobe's serious injury, the league needs to support a new flagship figure at shooting guard...

So after Stern's deliberation, Wade became the lucky one after Kobe's serious injury.

However, Stern, who is also looking forward to Kobe being able to regroup in the future...

Finally, he overruled all objections and put Kobe on the All-NBA Third Team.

After all...

The past of the "Lower Merion" Gemini is still one of the most talked about topics even today.

Therefore...

Even though Kobe missed the last three months of the regular season due to injury, Stern did not want people to forget him.

In Su Feng's previous life, many people said that Kobe and James were Stern's illegitimate sons.

But these people don't think from Stern's point of view...

Whether it's Kobe or James, they are all stars that the league has spent a lot of money to promote...

Therefore...

How could Stern kick these stars he personally promoted like a joke because of an injury or a bad season?

Take my guy (Russell Westbrook) in Su Feng's original timeline, for example...

In the future, after listening to public opinion and awarding the MVP to my guy, because my guy's performance in the next two seasons began to be questioned...

So, at the moment when my guy needed the league's support the most...

The joke (Adam Silver) unhesitatingly kicked my guy away.

But if it were in the Stern era...

Then Su Feng believes...

Even if my guy is questioned, Stern will definitely try to promote him despite the pressure of public opinion.

Because the NBA regular season MVP is not only a symbol...

And...

Once the league is not responsible for the stars it personally promotes...

Then it means the league is slapping itself in the face.

So...

Even if most people are not optimistic that Kobe can return to his peak after recovering from his injury...

Stern is still looking forward to...

The Lakers, who are currently in their darkest moment, can see the arrival of hope as soon as possible.

And this...

Is why, even though they are both league presidents...

The Stern era could have so many stars.

Because as a league of stars, as long as your president is not a short-sighted person like the joke...

Then how could this league full of supermen lack stars?

In addition, after successfully entering the First Team this year, Xiao Yao (Yao Ming) has also become the undisputed number one center in the league recognized by everyone.

You know, in Su Feng's previous life, Xiao Yao was often criticized for not being selected for the All-NBA First Team...

But in this life...

With the Chinese men's basketball team dominating the world for three consecutive major competitions...

The American judges are not stupid either.

After all...

You can't say that the star-studded American Dream Team lost to Su Feng alone, right?

Therefore, with O'Neal only averaging 14.5 points and 4.5 rebounds this season, Yao Ming also overpowered Stoudemire and Howard to be selected for this year's First Team.

And in the selection of the All-Defensive Team...

Artest and Allen were selected for the All-Defensive Second Team this year because of their exceptionally outstanding performances in their matchups with Su Feng.

Like in the 90s, as long as you dared to confront Jordan, you would definitely receive widespread attention after the game...

Now...

Su Feng found...

He has become the number one Boss for these supermen to刷声望 (shua shengwang, grind reputation).

In short...

As long as you dare to play against Su Feng...

Then in the eyes of people, you are at least a hero.

Of course...

Except for Bogut, a paratrooper who crashes upon landing.

(Carter: Is my failure to be selected for the All-NBA Team not even worth mentioning now?)

…

On the 19th, the day after the NBA officially announced the major awards for the regular season, at the North Shore Garden Arena in Boston...

Su Feng once again welcomed his old rival Duncan.

As the saying goes, enemies are bound to meet.

To be honest...

If possible...

Su Feng really didn't want to see Duncan and his Celtics on the Eastern Conference Finals stage this year.

Because as two teams that must win the championship this year...

Whether it's for the Celtics...

Or for the Heat...

This is a series that they cannot afford to lose no matter what.

But...

God loves to play jokes on people.

Su Feng is determined to complete his Heat career with a three-peat.

And Duncan is also eager to comfort Auerbach's spirit in heaven with a championship trophy.

Therefore...

From this moment on...

In this Eastern Conference Finals...

The Heat and the Celtics can be described as...

Not only competing for victory, but also deciding life and death!

In the seats by the court, feeling the gunpowder smell that had already filled the entire arena in the North Shore Garden Arena...

Even Iverson, who had once worked with Su Feng in Chicago to behead Jordan, couldn't help but gasp!

What...

Made Iverson, who has always been fearless, tremble?

And what...

Made Carter, who has always been *te li te qi*, obediently shut his stinky mouth?

And what...

Made McGrady, who was always sleepy, open his sleepy eyes?

And...

Even a tough guy like Kobe was subconsciously worried about Su Feng?

Larry Bird, Havlicek, Dave Cowens...

When former Celtics legends in suits stood by the court...

As the seventeen championship banners on the dome of the North Shore Garden Arena began to flutter in the wind...

If you were to ask...

When is the Celtics' most united moment...

Then without a doubt.

It is at this moment.

For the "Red Auerbach," even past grievances are insignificant at this moment.

And for Auerbach, even if he is old, Bill Russell will never sit down tonight until the Celtics win.

Without Arnold Auerbach...

No one knows whether Boston, a city that has always been predominantly white, would have become one of the only two giants in the NBA alongside the Los Angeles Lakers.

Under the pressure of public opinion, Auerbach once pointed to the first black players to play for the Celtics and said to reporters: "These are all my children."

And now...

Even if Auerbach is in heaven...

His "children" will not forget his teachings to everyone.

On the court, before taking the field, the Celtics' star player Tim Duncan patted the center of the court three times in a row.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

And just as the Heat players' attention in the arena was attracted by Duncan...

Duncan also roared at the ceiling.

Is this...

Still the Duncan in my memory?

On the Heat's bench, looking at Duncan with wide eyes...

Su Feng knew that the Duncan standing in front of him tonight...

Was already completely different from the one in his memory.

So...

Now, let's decide life and death!

On the court, before taking the field, facing the deafening boos from nearly 20,000 Celtics fans...

Su Feng put his right hand to his ear.

And at the same time, Iverson smiled.

Because...

This is his classic signature move of "Philadelphia Black Lightning."

Boos?

Away game?

If you're afraid of boos and away games...

Then what's the point of playing basketball?

In Su Feng's view, there is only one team destined to win the NBA championship this year.

That is the one led by him...

The Miami Heat!
