Chapter 866 866. The Story at Four in the Morning
Also notable is the best defensive player.

What cheered everyone up was that Lin Feng successfully entered the three-man candidate list as a defender, and his voice was very high.

You must know that only five backcourt players have won this honor in history. If it is not for the historical level of defensive ability, it is difficult for defenders to enter the scope of DPOY discussion!
The closest one was the "glove" Gary Payton in 1996. In the finals, he defended Jordan at his peak to "only" 27.4 points.

Lin Feng's strong nomination allowed fans to see signs of the rise of guards in the era of small forwards, and they hoped that Lin Feng could win this award.

Damian Lillard, Kemba Walker, Irving and other first-class guards have posted their support. At this moment, Lin Feng is not only himself, but also represents the honor of all the backcourt players in the league.

No one questioned that he was not a star in the league. It is said that 2K game company has also started internal meetings to discuss the matter of continuing to improve Lin Feng's ability value.

Regarding DPOY, the other two are Antetokounmpo and Jazz center Rudy Gobert.

Antetokounmpo's defensive ability is beyond doubt, and his outstanding physical fitness allows him to be very effective on both offense and defense.

He is tall and has long arms and explosive athletic ability. He can defend against monsters from position [-] to position [-]!

Gobert was the best defensive player last year, the block leader the year before, and entered the first defense lineup for two consecutive years.

He averaged 12.9 rebounds, 2.31 blocks, and 0.81 steals per game. His excellent defensive ability made him also enter the discussion range of All-Star players.

His selection is well-received, representing the power of the center in this era when everyone needs to have three-point ability.

As fierce as the MVP, the three finalists for the best defensive player are expected to win.

Whether those reporters and commentators who have the opportunity to vote will make NBA history, everything will be revealed in a month.

Next is the best sixth man, and Lin Feng continues to be shortlisted.

At the beginning, his fans were annoyed that Lin Feng had been playing as a substitute, but now it seems that it is a good thing.

Facing the other two competitors, Louis Williams of the Clippers and Sabonis Jr. of the Pacers cannot compare with him in terms of statistics or team record.

With a huge advantage and playing an important role in a giant team like the Los Angeles Lakers, Lin Feng has almost secured this honor in advance.

Before that, there was only one person in history who won the best sixth man in his rookie season. He was Ben Gordon, who was selected by the Bulls with the third overall pick in the first round in 04.

That season, Gordon averaged 25 points in 15.1 minutes per game, making history as the best sixth man.

And Lin Feng almost doubled his scoring average in the same playing time, far surpassing Lu Wei and Sabonis Jr.

Now he is very hopeful to become the second person in history for this honor, and of course he doesn't care how many records he can create.

At this moment a solid dream is already burning in the heart, beyond the goat in the distance.

One thing is for sure, he is likely to become the best rookie in history since the 80s.

Some people say that Lin Feng is very similar to the fledgling Elvin Johnson, and his basketball experience is very similar.

In his rookie season, Johnson was selected by the Lakers as the No. 33 pick. That year he met the [-]-year-old Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and the two dual-core shined in the league and successfully won the championship.

Now, the 19-year-old Lin Feng meets the 34-year-old LeBron James, and the Lakers led by them are also close to the championship.

The history of that scene 39 years ago seems to be re-enacting, and the process is almost the same.

As the president of the team, Elvin Johnson naturally hopes that the team can regain its glory under his own management. In addition to keeping his position, he also wants to realize his life value outside the court.

"Gary, you bastard, do you know that you are the focus of the whole world now, and countless companies want to knock you down with money!"

Old Pa's phone call, both of them are waiting at home for the shortlist to be announced.

At that moment, Lao Pa was so excited that tears filled his eyes. A 30-year-old man hid in the bathroom and cried. He knew how hard it was.

Even if they failed to win the championship in the end, it seems that there is nothing to regret, after all, they are still young.

A crazy rookie, he played from the [-]th pick to now has unlimited glory.

A lot of people stared at him, of course, including malicious stares, and even Jordan couldn't satisfy that person.

"Dude, I know you're crying. Of course I want to cry too, but it's not the right time. We still have the finals, and we'll know everything in about two weeks."

Lin Feng said very sincerely, he also hid in the bathroom.

At this moment, a brotherhood is going on in two bathrooms in Los Angeles. They are a whole, working hard and struggling for the same goal.

The following awards also include the most improved player. Brandon Ingram, who was selected as an All-Star this season, entered the shortlist. Dragons star Pascal Siakam.

It is not surprising that Yingge was selected for this list. He has attracted much attention since he entered the league, and this year he stood out from the West and entered the All-Stars. All signs indicate that he will have a bright future.

People began to fear the strength of the Lakers. If the best player, best rookie and most improved player are all using the same team, it will be a terrible thing!

They will rule the league!
The reality is also developing in this direction, and the pattern of the league in the next few years seems to have been placed in front of everyone.

Not only that, the Lakers also have potential role players like Kuzma and Hart.

Unbeknownst to everyone, the Lakers in the previous life finally went all-in after a failed season, and took out the ultimate bargaining chips such as Ball + Ingram + Hart + 3 first-round picks + 2 first-round swap rights. Active first power forward Anthony Davis.

Clearing the big gamble for the next five years Now, fortunately, the Lakers made the right bet. At least they ranked first in the Western Conference in the following season and were one of the three teams most likely to win the championship.

In this life, if Lin Feng hadn't turned out, I'm afraid the Lakers management would have followed the same path.

But Lin Feng changed everything. He made the management realize that the Lakers have become a championship team, and the young people in their hands have unlimited potential.

Most Lakers fans think their team will have at least three All-Stars next season, and no one thinks Lin Feng is a flash in the pan.

The team's miraculous performance also put coach Luke Walton on the discussion list of the best coaches, and he will compete with Nuggets coach Mike Malone and Bucks coach Budenholzer for this award.

At first, people were not optimistic about the young Walton's ability to control LeBron James, because in the eyes of the world, the old James' cooperation with several coaches was not very pleasant.

But Lin Feng understands the truth. Unlike the outside rumors, Lao Zhan is a player who respects the coach very much. He actively helps Walton control the team's locker room and sets an example for everyone.

This is the story that happened in the early morning, and Lin Feng didn't fall asleep until four o'clock.
