However, the NBA's best rookie selection used to pick the one with the best statistics.
And what Xiao Hua said was not unreasonable.
Tang Tian's strength is not bad, but this style of play is indeed too role player, not suitable for being the best rookie.
"Let them choose for themselves, don't interfere too much."
Stern finally spoke up and made a decision.
"But..." Xiao Hua wanted to continue.
"Do you think it's normal to choose, and they will choose Tang?" Stern interrupted him.
Xiao Hua froze for a moment, then shook his head.
Owen's aggressive playing style, even if Tang Tian has the halo bonus of the godfather, there is still a big gap in the eyes of the reporters.
Normally, Tang Tian really didn't have many chances.
The league ended up not interfering with the reporter vote.
凯里·欧文凭借着场均19.1分4.3篮板3.8助攻的表现,成功当选了2011~2012赛季的最佳新秀。
His final score was 510 points, with a combined vote rate of 50.1%.
Tang Tian ranked second, with a final score of 270 points and a combined vote rate of 18%.
“14.1分2.2篮板1.5助攻1.6次抢断1.1次封盖,投篮命中率49%,三分球命中率51%,18%得票率?”
"Those people only look at the statistics! Tang Tian is playing for the number one team in the league!"
"No, they'll still watch the game, it's just how many points the guy they're watching scores."
"Yes brother! You've got to the point, they don't care how many people Tang guards against."
"What kind of defense do you need? You just need to be able to score! Data = honor."
"And it doesn't really matter whether you get in or not, as long as you play well?"
"Fuck the best rookie, let's use the most powerful championship to speak!"
"I hope this will not affect the godfather's performance in the playoffs. The Spurs are about to play against the Clippers."
……
"The league is always doing some flashy things now." Even Popovich also complained in training day interviews.
The head coach is a public figure, and public complaints can easily attract fines from the league.
Popovich spoke at this time, in addition to supporting Tang Tian, there was another reason because of the time when the league announced the best rookie.
The Western Conference semifinals between the Spurs and the Clippers is about to start, and the announcement at this time is not a good thing for the Spurs.
If Tang Tian wins the best rookie, or even just loses, it will be an encouragement to him and the Spurs.
But now it's the opposite.
This result is more surprising than the MVP. In addition to the fans talking, the reporter also interviewed some stars who are playing in the playoffs.
Most people think that Tang Tian should get more votes. Many of these people have been Tang Tian's opponents, so they will naturally have the right to speak.
But Kobe has his own unique insights:
"There is no problem with the results of this selection. Irving is the most talented rookie. He deserves this award. As for the others, man, what you have to do is not to complain, but to play enough to conquer them."
The discussion of the best rookie has not subsided, but the next day, the Spurs ushered in a game against the Clippers at home.
Because of the grievances between the two teams in the regular season, this matchup also attracted a lot of attention.
TNT sent their commentary Big Three, Barkley, O'Neal and Kenny Smith.
"Don only got 18% of the vote, will that affect his performance tonight?"
After a wave of day-to-day discussions about who would win the series, they quickly turned to Rookie of the Year.
"I think it will be a little bit. The result is not friendly. Considering the record of the Spurs and his personal performance, he should also get more votes."
Smith is now considered a half-godfather secret.
"I think Kobe's words are good, this play should be based on the performance of the game." Barkley continued.
"No, no, Kobe's words are not credible." O'Neill immediately shook his head.
Barkley and Smith were stunned for a moment after listening, and then they were all happy.
O'Neill and Kobe reconciled on the surface, but this carelessness exposed their true hearts!
"Ahem, I'm just saying Don's a special guy and he might respond with a great game tonight."
O'Neal responded quickly and immediately changed the subject.
"I agree with that." Smith nodded in agreement.
In Tang Tian's words, he has always been the kind of person whose actions speak louder than words.
Before the game started, the on-site photographer gave Tang Tian and Kenyon Martin a cut shot.
The last time the two teams played against each other, Tang Tian gave Martin a solid punch, and the two performed well in the first round, which was also a highlight of the match.
After the opening ceremony, the starters of both teams came on stage one after another.
The Clippers are still a regular lineup, with the Big Three plus Caron Butler and Randy Foye.
For the Spurs, Popovich didn't let Duncan go and consume Jordan, put Diaw back on the bench, and used Splitter as the starting five.
The other positions are the same as the first round, Parker and Tang Tian on the outside, Leonard and Duncan on the forward.
Jordan beat Duncan and kicked off the Western Conference semifinals.
Paul came up and cooperated with Griffin, and Griffin broke into the inside and scored with a one-handed dunk.
Facing the black and white duo in the first round, he played quite uncomfortable throughout the series, which can be regarded as suffocating him.
The Spurs finished Zip's hammer and Leonard hit a three-pointer from the bottom corner.
The Clippers' defense is still very poor. You must know that the Grizzlies, the league's least scoring team, also had two games with more than [-] points in the first round of the series.
But they felt very good on the offensive end tonight, Paul and Griffin fired inside and outside.
After the first quarter, the score was 30 to 28, and the Clippers led by 2 points.
With 28 points, the Spurs didn't have too many offensive problems, but losing 30 points in a single quarter in the playoffs made the old man a little annoyed.
"What the hell are you doing?! Get 'hard' on me!"
When the intermission was suspended, the old man immediately lost his temper.
After saying these words, he waved his big hand and directly set up a lineup that he thought was tough enough.
Ginobili, Tang Tian, Green, Leonard and Dior.
This is the lineup that once broke the Clippers during the regular season.
De Nagro on the opposite side got dizzy when he saw this lineup. This damn old man played this trick with him again?
His choice was to...not adjust.
Paul felt a little bit like scolding his mother.
This Denagro is really the worst coach he has ever encountered!
The head coaches of other people have compressed their rotation lineups in the playoffs. Generally, teams have 8 rotations, even the Spurs have 9 rotations.
De Nagro is good, and he still plays his 10-man rotation in the regular season!
This is really the enemy does not move, I do not move, the enemy moves, I still do not move!
242+ three chapters girl team (two in one chapter)
However, he had nothing to say in his first season, so he could only sit there and get angry.
The Clippers lineup at this time, Bledsoe and Mo Williams on the outside, Nick Young and Kenyon Martin on the front, and Reggie Evans on the center.
As soon as the second quarter came up, Diaw held the ball in a high position, and he entered the bench to liberate Ginobili's offensive ability.
The first shot to the ball went out, and after receiving the ball, "Demon Sword" made a serpentine breakthrough for a layup and made Evans a thug foul.
After his extra penalty hit, the Spurs 31 to 30, and they overtook the score as soon as they came up.
Popovich's vision of seeing people is really unique, and he knows who can force him.
Paul couldn't sit still, got up and yelled at Bledsoe a few times, motioning him to stick close to Ginobili.
De Nagro's expression is relatively calm. In his opinion, the average age of the team is too old, and the defense is just like that.
The key is to play the offense well, and this first quarter is a good example.
Bledsoe holds the ball on the outside, the Clippers play in the frontcourt, Martin picks and rolls for Williams, and Evans also screens for Nick Young.
It should be said that the Clippers only had Williams as a scoring point before, and the opponents were easy to defend.
Now that there is an extra Yang, the two wings will move to check, and it is easy for the opponent to focus on one thing and lose the other.
Bledsoe saw the opportunity and flicked the ball to Nick Young.
"Snapped!"
But as soon as the ball was passed, Tang Tian, who had saved it, directly intercepted it!
The Spurs counterattacked defensively, and Ginobili went to the frontcourt and made a layup.
5 is better than 0!
The Spurs lineup is really good.
"Watch people when passing the ball! Don't get intercepted!" De Nagro shouted at Bledsoe at this time.
Bledsoe dribbled the ball into the frontcourt, and this time he was careful, waiting for Young to come out before passing the ball.
Tang Tian circled the pick-and-roll very decisively, and didn't give Yang a chance to make a direct move.
Bledsoe wanted to reorganize the ball and was directly ignored by Yang.
As soon as Yang received the ball, he entered the singles king mode. He didn't look at his teammates, but was ready to lean on Tang Tian with his back. Judging from the posture, he was about to play singles.
Bledsoe reluctantly motioned his teammates to pull away.
Yang turned around continuously, and then made a signature turn and leaned back.
"Snapped!"
But before he could make a move, Tang Tian slapped the ball away from him!
Consecutive steals!
There is no possibility of Yang passing the ball, Tang Tian only needs to keep an eye on his shot timing.
This cut is a clean cut.
In this fast break, Ginobili returned the ball to Leonard who followed up, and Leonard scored with a one-handed dunk.
The Spurs played a 7-0 offensive.
Paul has stood up.
But Denagro still didn't mean to change players, he put his hands on his hands and his cheeks, with a serious expression.
The Clippers' offense, Bledsoe gave the ball to the inside Martin, Martin backed Leonard, and turned around at the right time.
"Snapped!"
But when he turned around, the ball was gone!
It's Tang Tian again!
His attention was all on Leonard, and he didn't notice Tang Tian, who quickly came over to defend him!
The third consecutive steal!
Ginobili gave the ball to Green who followed up in this fast break, and Green also scored a three-pointer after chasing him.
10 is better than 0!
