Chapter 606: 96-97 regular season award results (3)

After the best sixth man and the most improved player, the awards for the best coach of the year and the best general manager are announced.

"I declare that the coach of the year for the 1996-97 season is Pat Riley from the Miami Heat!"

At this point, Pat Riley really deserves his name. He has broken free from the predicament of leaving New York that year. It took only two years for Pat Riley to lead the Miami Heat into the season. In the playoffs, and as far as the current situation is concerned, the Miami Heat are likely to meet with the Chicago Bulls. You can't give Pat Riley such a result.

You must know that after leaving the Knicks that year, the players in the Heat were basically dealt with. Even the absolute star of the team, Glen Rice, was traded to the Han by Pat Riley, and it took only two years. Such a result can be achieved within a short time, even if Phil Jackson and Jerry Sloan, who ranked first and second in the regular season this season, can't do it. The name "God Operator" is indeed extraordinary!

"I declare that the best general manager of the 1996-97 season is Mickey Kupchak from the New York Hans!"

This is also the first time that Mickey Kupchak has won the title of General Manager of the Year in his career. It has to be said that this is not easy, and the main reason why Mickey Kupchak has achieved this time lies in In the 1996 NBA Draft, Kobe Bryant was picked with the fourth overall pick in the first round. You must know that when Kobe Bryant participated in the draft, ESPN's rankings were not high, but it was the most surprising. It was Kobe Bryant who actually played it. If you can be as famous as Allen Iverson, you can say that Mickey Kupchak has a unique vision!

Although no one outside knows that he chose Kobe Bryant as the Han boss Bruce, but Mitch Kupchak is the Han boss after all. The boss is not nominated as the general manager, but there is a nominee!

It can be said that Mickey Kupchak can win such an award completely because of the light of Bruce and Kobe Bryant.

Even the off-stage media reporters and other NBA players who watched on TV or the Internet felt that there was no problem with this.

Wisdom Eyes Shizhu can choose Kobe Bryant is indeed amazing!

...

Most of the above awards still have no controversy, and everyone has obviously accepted them.

But here comes the controversial award below.

"I declare that the defensive player of the year in the 1996-97 season is Kevin Garnett from the New York Hans!"

When Stern announced that the defensive player of the year was Kevin Garnett from the New York Hans, there was an uproar.

After all, this award, many people are very optimistic about Dicambe Mutombo and Gary Payton.

What the **** is Kevin Garnett? What qualifications does he have to compare with the above two? Dicambe Mutombo and Gary Payton were champions during the Supersonic era, and Kevin Garnett Te is still a second-year student. Although Kevin Garnett said that his defensive cuts this season are indeed pretty good, how can he be better than these two dedicated defensive players in terms of defensive ability? !

I'm afraid there is something shady!

But the controversy is controversial, and it turns out that there is no way to change it, but everyone on the scene needs to know where Kevin Garnett won? !

The top of the screen shows the data of Kevin Garnett. Kevin Garnett played 40 minutes in the regular season and averaged 18 points, 8 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 4.2 steals and 6.5 blocks per game. You can also believe this data.

Indeed, this is Kevin Garnett’s data this season, and the reason why Dichambe Mutombo and Gary Payton were able to squeeze out was because Stern wanted to push the Han Chinese out, making the recent retreat. The Chinese media all have new goals. Therefore, when the gap between these three people is not very large, Stern must choose the one that is beneficial to the alliance!

Obviously, Kevin Garnett won the prize, and I believe that with Kevin Garnett or Mickey Kupchak, who is the most recent general manager of the previous era, can retain the Chinese media. Enthinking about the result for a long time.

Choosing a few important awards for the Han people will definitely arouse the attention of the Chinese media and even the Chinese fans. Stern would be a fool if he didn't seize the win-win situation!

Of course, Kevin Garnett's data on the screen cannot be faked. The media reporters on the scene just think that Kevin Garnett is still very young, and it may not be good to award him a best defensive player now!

And Dicambe Mutombo and Gary Payton, who watched this scene next to the TV, also felt it was a pity, after all, they were both winners of this award last year.

...

The next step is to announce the defensive team of the year.

Fortunately, the defensive team of the year has their names, otherwise it would be too embarrassing.

"I declare the second set of the best defensive team of the year in the 96-97 season: Hakim Olajuwon, Karl Malone, Anthony Mason, Mucci Blaylock, John Stockton."

"I declare the first set of the best defensive team of the year in the 1996-97 season: Dicambe Mutombo, Kevin Garnett, Scotty Pippen, Michael Jordan, Gary Payton."

After Stern announced the best defensive lineup, the media reporters on the scene were stunned. Kevin Garnett actually went into the defense for a while, which I have to say is really surprising. ·The other four players that Garnett has partnered with are all at the championship level. Kevin Garnett is a sophomore, which is indeed a bit different.

Of course, this has also caused a lot of people to argue. Everyone thinks that Kevin Garnett is not qualified to enter the defensive team. It is almost the same to give the second team to the defense. But some people say that Kevin Garnett is the defensive of the year. The best player, he doesn't play defense for a while. Isn't it the face of the league?

Everyone was talking about it, and the voice below Stern must have been clearly heard standing on the stage, but so what? !

Originally, Kevin Garnett became the defensive player of the year. Stern is indeed a little hesitant, because since he wants to introduce the Han people, he can choose Alonzo Mourning. Alonzo Mourning routinely The data of the game is not worse than Kevin Garnett. The reason why Stern chose Kevin Garnett in the end is because of Alonzo Mourning’s conflict in the playoffs. The league can’t let one now. The suspended player received such a great honor, so he had to sacrifice Alonzo Mourning in favor of Kevin Garnett.

With the support of Kevin Garnett's data, Stern is also confident, even if the media reporters off the field think it is unreasonable and not afraid, the data is supported there, no one can say anything.

And Kevin Garnett, who was waiting next to the TV, all smiled. Not only did he get the Defensive Player of the Year, he even had his name in the defensive team. Can you say that Kevin Garnett is not happy? !
