200: Almost 20+5+5 (June Pass)
The Mavericks swept the Lakers 4-0, while the Grizzlies defeated the Spurs 4-1.
When the two teams in the Western Conference Finals were born, most people were confused.
Dallas Mavericks? A team that looks too ordinary to be more ordinary. The Memphis Grizzlies? They are wandering the West for the most part this season.
What about the Lakers? What about the Spurs? What about the Thunder? None of them, the Mavericks and the Grizzlies, finally stood at the top of the West.
"The West has the most upset final in the past decade."
"In 1998, the second Western Conference Finals without Kobe and Duncan."
"Withful teams counterattack? Or are strong teams failing? The grassroots Western Conference matchup!"
The media's titles all revealed shock. Although everyone guessed the result after half of the Western Conference semi-finals. But the final match was released, it still makes people sigh that the Western Conference is in chaos!
Of course, there are even more straightforward media that gave a title of Heat Championship!
In the eyes of most people, the Grizzlies and Mavericks, which have a relatively "civilian" lineup, no matter which team advances, it is impossible to confront Miami's super three.
This may be the first time ever that teams from the West will be despised.
Of course, the Bulls must be very unhappy, and the Heat have to defeat them first before they can win the championship! This title is equivalent to neglecting the Bulls.
At this time, the NBA this season is getting closer and closer to the finale. Various regular season awards are also announced one by one.
On May 15, NBA officially announced the list of the best rookie team this year, and Link suddenly appeared in the best rookie team.
Originally, people thought Link could compete for the Best Rookie Award, but Griffin's data was really terrible. He averaged 20+10 games in the rookie season. Looking at the entire NBA, only Duncan and O'Neal can do such shameless things.
Link's regular season data is actually not bad, averaging 17.5 points per game, which is higher than No. 1 pick John Wall among all the 10th rookies, second only to No. 1 pick Griffin. Among the Grizzlies, it is second only to Randolph and Guy. In addition, he also scored 5.4 rebounds and 4.9 assists, almost scoring a terrible data average of 20+5+5.
You know, in the history of NBA, only four people can win 20+5+5 in their rookie season. Except for Tyrek Evans, who is the peak of rookie, the other three are all gods!
But the difference is that it is a little worse. Even if the average score is only 2.5 points and the average assist is only 0.1, that is still the difference. Griffin's 20+10 scored a real 22.5 points and 12.1 rebounds. So in the end, Griffin, who looked better at the data, won the Best Rookie Award.
In the end, Link was only selected as a rookie with low value for the first time, which was only a kind of comfort.
Although he missed the best rookie, Link has gained a lot this year. As a undrafted pick, he won the rookie MVP in one fell swoop, the Western Conference's best month and the first team selected for the rookie team, which is already very successful. The unanswered rookie can only be considered a shortcoming of the best rookie at most.
Against this background, people are discussing who can become a talented person, Wall, Link and Griffin, and who can grow into a real superstar.
Regardless of the result of the discussion, Link entered the league as a undraft and was compared with the two No. 1 picks, which was already very successful.
Speaking of which, this year's Best Rookie Team is also weird enough. Except for Wall, Griffin and Cousins, the remaining two are out of the draft!
Link and Gary Neal of the Spurs were both selected as the best rookie team as the undraft, which once again proves whether a player can succeed in the NBA and has nothing to do with your pick.
What about Wesley Johnson, Evan Turner, and others, have disappeared on this list? They can't even enter the second team of the Best Rookie.
"This kid's data is really impressive, 17.5 points, 5.4 rebounds, 4.9 assists, which is a real All-Star threshold! Dirk, I remember that you averaged only 17.5 points per game in the second season of your career." Tyson Chandler held the newspaper in his hand and teased his inside partner.
"No one has ever said that his data is not impressive enough. If this guy is playing in Los Angeles and Griffin is in Memphis, Link might be the best rookie. The Los Angeles place has brought great bonuses to Griffin, and in the Clippers, Griffin can do whatever he wants. The Griffin is different. They are defensive teams. And Link has played as a substitute for a long time. Unfortunately, if he keeps playing as a substitute, he might still be able to win the best sixth man."
Nowitzki started chatting with Chandler while doing physical therapy.
"Do you think he will be in trouble? Link performed well in the last round of the Spurs. He played the double-double game and played the performance that a superstar should have."
"Don't worry, the core of the Grizzlies is Randolph and Gasol. Link can break out once a while, but he is a rookie after all. Don't worry too much, we will strive to win the Grizzlies in four games!"
"Hahaha, I'm just waiting for your words, Dirk!" Chandler laughed happily and closed the newspaper.
Nowitzki just said that it was not Yelang's arrogant, but his recent condition is really good! Dirk could feel that the time for him has come!
Dirk has been waiting for this moment since he came to the United States for trial training in 1998. Now, Dirk believes that the time is ripe.
A mere Memphis grizzly bear is not to be afraid!
At the same time, the Grizzlies players also landed at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport. As soon as they got off the plane, the Grizzlies players saw overwhelming publicity posters, all of which were from the Mavericks!
In the eyes of Dallas, as long as the Spurs can be avoided, the Mavericks seem to be stable. After the Grizzlies players squeezed out of the airport, many local fans even raised cards with the words "4-0". It seems that Dallas fans are very "enthusiastic".
There is no doubt that this kind of similar card made the Grizzlies players very upset.
"Just kidding, do you think we reached the Western Conference Finals by luck?" Randolph curled his lips unwillingly. He was used to being a hero in Memphis, and suddenly came to Dallas and was looked down upon. Randolph was naturally very angry.
"They even swept the defending champion, of course they have confidence." Tony Allen on the side was very calm. For him, it was normal to encounter such a thing away.
Link made no comments because he knew very well how powerful the Mavericks were this year, which was probably the most underrated overall champion since the millennium.
Link didn't know what would happen to the current Grizzlies and the original historical championship, but he was sure that it was definitely much more difficult than the first two rounds of the game!
"Link, why don't you talk? Didn't you say you want to play in the Western Conference Finals?" Randolph noticed Link's strangeness. That kid usually disdained such a thing, but today he was quiet.
"It's just fans, it's understandable that they support their team."
Randolph laughed when he heard Link still had "but".
"However, we should be able to create panic in Dallas. After the Western Conference Finals begin, the fans here may not be so rampant."
Link really doesn't know if he and the Grizzlies can beat the Mavericks, but he is very convinced that even if the Mavericks win, they will be glad that they escaped from death instead of passing easily.
Chapter completed!
