Chapter 274 DPOY

Before the meeting was over, a staff member knocked on the door suddenly and announced with a happy face: "Mr. Colangelo, gentlemen, just now the league announced the scoring champion, assist champion, steal champion and rebound champion this season. King, block leader, and winner of DPOY. Scoring leader is Magic's McGrady."

"Speak, young man, we are all waiting." Colangelo laughed.

"Congratulations, Stephen." The staff first said to Marbury.

"Oh, great!" Marbury exclaimed excitedly.

"Congratulations, Stephen!"

Li Ba and others immediately sent congratulations.

"Where's the hammer?" Marbury asked the man.

"Congratulations, Hammer, you have everything you want." The man smiled.

"Oh!!!!" The conference room burst into cheers.

On the evening of the 25th, the Suns played against the Spurs, and the G4 game began.

Home team Suns starting: Li Ba, Marion, James Posey, Joe Johnson, Marbury.

The visiting team's Spurs starters: Rasu, Duncan, Hedo, Bowen, Parker.

In the locker room of the home team, Li Ba accepted an interview with Barkley and Zhang Lili.

Barkley and Smith really adjusted to this side, leaving the higher-rated battle between the Lakers and the Grizzlies to others.

"Hammer, I hope my words won't trouble you." Barkley laughed.

"Of course not. I have long hoped to play against Duncan, but he has stayed in the fourth position. I have to thank you. Let's have Chinese food tomorrow?" Li Ba said.

"Oh, that would be great!" Barkley laughed happily.

The starting two teams are waiting to play at the entrance of the channel.

Li Ba took a look. Parker, Bowen, and Xidu seemed to be in a good state of mind. Although their chins were not raised so high, they were not on the ground.

"Hammer, the game will only start from this one."

Duncan said at this time, his tone and eyes were very calm, but it contained infinite fighting spirit.

"A rematch? Doesn't two to one count?" Li Ba asked in surprise.

Duncan twitched his face, turned his head and was too lazy to speak.

"Puchi!"

"Ha ha!"

The teammates behind Li Ba couldn't help laughing.

Amid wild cheers, Li Ba played after his teammates.

Today, TNT and CCTV broadcast live in their respective studios, with live commentators on the sidelines.

Today's scene ushered in Stern, the president of the league.

Sun won four individual data kings and DPOY honors, and he came here in person.

He likes a team like the Suns with a good record, a good-looking style of play, and a team that can attract the ball market.

There are no trophies for other individual data kings. He brought Li Ba the DPOY trophy.

"Hello, Mr. Stern."

Accompanied by Colangelo, Li Ba came to Stern, greeted him and offered his hand. Except for beautiful women, he generally does not give hugs.

"Hello, boy, we finally met. You are the best player in China, just like Yao. It's a pity that you lost, it's our job not doing a good job, but I'm happy for you to come to the NBA .” Stern smiled after shaking hands.

"Thank you! In fact, there are still some outstanding players in our country. I hope they can get a chance." Li Ba said.

"Oh, really?" Stern looked interested.

Then he presented the trophy to Li Ba and said, "Congratulations, the youngest best defensive player in the league."

"Thanks!"

Li Ba, who will be 22 years old next month, took the trophy with both hands and raised it to the fans and media in the audience, greeted with warm cheers.

This is a trophy based on the Lord of the Rings Bill Russell, half squatting, with both arms slanted down left and right, and it looks pretty good.

"Congratulations to Hammer, his single data king this year has created many league records..." Zhang Lili shouted excitedly at the camera: "First of all, he is the first person to win the steals king as a center. He is also the first person to win the three defensive personal data kings including steals, rebounds and blocks at the same time. Of course, he is also the first person to win these three data kings and DPOY at the same time. In addition, he is also the youngest DPOY winner .”

"Hammer, come, take it and let us shoot again."

After talking, he asked the cameraman to take a picture of the trophy.

"Bill, do you want me to see you?"

Manager Bill Duffy also came today, and Li Ba handed over the trophy.

"No, it's yours."

Duffy happily took it, and handed it back after reading it.

"Congratulations, Ba."

Alba sent a hug, but it caused dissatisfaction from all the male fans.

"Ha ha!"

Li Ba looked around triumphantly.

"Want it?" he said.

"Give it to me?"

Alba took the trophy and asked the media to take pictures.

"Of course, if one day we go our separate ways, it will be yours too." Li Ba laughed.

"Miss Alba, can you take a photo for me?" Jay Chou, who still appeared today, asked excitedly after the media took the photo.

"certainly."

Alba smiled and handed over the trophy.

"Iron Hammer, on the offensive end, you should respond. Pass the ball immediately after double-teaming, and don't let the ball die in your hands. Others must keep moving at any time, and must run out of open positions. On the defensive end, you are free. Others must Pay attention, when the Hammer assists in the defense, it is necessary to cover the defensive position left by him as soon as possible."

After warming up and before going on the field, Frank gave the last advice.

In front of the Spurs bench, Popovich was also giving his final tactical advice: "Tim, the No. 68 pest on the sun is handed over to you."

Finally, he gave another separate sentence: "Rebounds, that is the lifeblood of winning, we need it, control it, I mean everyone. Tim, that kid doesn't need to watch the ball, he will move immediately, you Stop him immediately, don't worry about where the ball is, let others grab it."

Game start.

Li Ba jumped up at the fastest speed, won the ball in the first quarter, and the Suns attacked.

The speed of the Spurs' retreat was like a tide, very fast. This obviously learned from the experience of the previous game, so as not to be caught by surprise by Li Ba.

When Li Ba entered the paint, the Spurs' zone defense was already in place.

Two-three joint defense, which obviously strengthens the defense of the off-line and strengthens the control of defensive rebounds. The disadvantage is that there are only two defenses on the line, and there is insufficient control of the high position of the 45-degree angle and the free throw line.

But Barkley has something to say about this zone defense against the Suns.

"Oh, what is Popovich trying to do? I think Tim is facing the Hammer, and the Hammer will inevitably reduce his few shots. Don't look at him scoring 25 points, but he only took 11 shots, of which Half of them are fast breaks and second offenses, and the number of independent offenses with the ball is pitifully small. Then the role of the second and third defenses is to ensure defensive rebounds? Are you so sure that the Suns have no touch on the outside?" He said.

"Today, the two teams should have some competition for rebounds. Popovich may not be able to stand behind in rebounds anymore." Smith laughed.

Duncan waited for Li Ba at the low position on the left wing, and when the latter came over, he said, "Pest No. 68, do you still dare to ask for the ball today?"
