Amid the cheers of the fans at the scene, the Menglong won the first game of the Eastern Conference semifinals.

The score was not a huge disparity. With the final score of 106:93, the Menglong won by 13 points.

Judging from the situation on the court, this game can be called a slugfest. The reason why it only won by 13 points was because Kongbu was worried that the Heat would jump over the wall and did not continue to widen the point difference in the last half of the quarter.

Those who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes. Compared with the Heat, Menglong wears shoes. There is no need to be dragged into the water by the Heat.

Of course, Kongbu felt that Laili was not that crazy, mainly because they also had the luck of winning the championship in their hearts.

When there is no hope at all at the last moment, they don't want to ruin their way to promotion.

In the evening of the next day, Kongbu summoned the Menglong generals, Thomas Sr., and General Manager Glenn.

For no other reason than today is a special day.

nba regular season honors will be announced today.

Even if you think about it with your big toe, the Menglong will definitely have a bumper year of honors this year. Their performance this year is really too dazzling.

At seven o'clock in the evening, regular season honors have begun to be awarded one after another.

The first to be announced is the league's best general manager in the 1997-1998 season.

This honor was easily obtained by Glenn.

Even though everyone knows that the rise of Menglong has nothing to do with Glenn, this honor still belongs to him, because Menglong's improvement this season is too terrifying.

From a weak team at the bottom of the league to the top of the regular season record list, no one in the league is more qualified to receive this honor than Glenn.

With a satisfied smile on his face, Glenn glared at Old Thomas provocatively.

He is the general manager of the team. Although Thomas Sr. is at the helm, his position is still the vice president. Thomas Sr. will definitely not receive this award.

After the best general manager is announced, the next step is the best head coach of the year.

This should be the most unsuspicious award this year. Even if he were chosen ten thousand times, Kongbu would definitely win it.

There was no surprise on the faces of the Menglong generals, Thomas Sr. and others. Halfway through the season, they knew that this award had been stamped by Kong Bu.

Kongbu pinched Old Thomas's thigh, and when he heard the other man's howling, he was convinced that he was not dreaming.

In my previous life, I was just a nobody. After traveling through time, it took me less than a year to achieve the highest personal honor in the basketball coaching profession.

And he was convinced that this coy was just the beginning.

After the honors of the two management teams were announced, the next step was the regular season awards for the players.

Everyone held their breath and pricked up their ears.

The first to come out is the rookie lineup.

One team: Duncan, Dazhi, Tracy McGrady, Wu Sheng plus Billups.

Second team: Big Z Yilgauskas, Keith Van Horn, Ron Messer, Bobby Jackson plus Brevin Wright.

Everyone cheered loudly.

Four first-team rookies!

There were actually only four first-year rookies in the Menglong lineup this year, and all four of them were selected to the first team.

Being named to the Rookie First Team is not a great honor, but for a newcomer, it is already pretty good. It is the rookie honor second only to Roy.

Kongbu breathed a long sigh of relief, it seemed that his time traveling had some effect.

McGrady and Flounder, under normal circumstances, not only were they not selected for the first team, they were not even selected for the second team.

Not to mention Wu Sheng and Dazhi, it is a coincidence that Wu Sheng was a rookie in 1997 and he did not enter the NBA until 2000.

Dazhi was a rookie in 1999, and he also entered the NBA in 2000. The two of them were destined to be together.

"I announce that the winner of the NBA Rookie of the Year for the 1997-1998 season is Tim Duncan of the St. Anthony Spurs!"

Stern announced Roy's selection on television.

Kongbu's expression relaxed. He was really worried that Stern would make a mistake and give the Rookie of the Year award to Da Zhi.

If he really gets the roy, then this honor will not be regarded as an honor for Dazhi, but a stain that will accompany him throughout his life.

Because no matter in terms of statistics or status within the team, Duncan is better than Da Zhi.

If Da Zhi robs this royal family, he may be spoiled for many years in the future.

After being named Rookie of the Year, he was immediately named Sixth Man of the Year. Kongbu had greeted Stern before, and Da Zhi successfully won the Sixth Man of the Year honor.

Even if he doesn't say hello, Da Zhi is actually more than 90% a smoy. After all, the data is there, averaging 17.8 points, 8.1 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game. There is no opponent at all.

Under normal circumstances, this year's smoy is Danny Manning. Putting aside the team's record, he averages 13 points and 6 rebounds per game. There is no way he can squeeze out Da Zhi.

Ranked second in the voting was Kobe, who averaged 15 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists per game, but he was also useless.

Since then, Dazhi's training mission has been completed, but whether it can be exceeded depends on whether he can obtain other honors in the future.

"I announce that the winner of the NBA's Most Improved Player Award for the 1997-1998 season is Ben Wallace of the Toronto Rams!"

The generals cheered again, and Big Brother Ben began to win awards.

The competition for the Most Improved Player Award is very fierce. In addition to Ben, Snow, who was just traded to the Greencaps by the Menglong, is also qualified to win this award.

There are also the Hawks' Alan Henderson and the Mavericks' Michael Finley.

It's just that Ben was selected to the All-Stars after all, and his starting point last season was too low, averaging only 1.1 points, 1.7 rebounds and 0.3 blocks per game.

Then Stern began to announce the winners of this season's Ethics Award.

The selection method of the Moral Style Award is quite special. There are currently twenty-nine NBA teams, and each team recommends one player as a candidate.

Players across the league then vote, and the candidate with the highest score is the winner.

After Kongbu learned about the selection method, he didn't have much expectations. The Menglong currently have at least four or five rival teams in the league.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! And Da Zhi is not a player of Lao Mi nationality yet.

The combination of various factors makes it difficult for Dazhi to win this award.

As a result, a moment later, Kongbu heard Dazhi's name from Stern's mouth.

"It's so dark!"

"It's absolutely lawless."

Kongbu was speechless, it was Stern who had obviously exerted his strength.

No one pays much attention to this award, so Stern has a lot of room for maneuver.

"Okay, guys, the real prize is here, so cheer up."

"Let's see how much we can get."

Kongbu clapped his hands and shouted at the generals.

Among all the previous awards, the Menglong definitely had a bumper harvest. They won all two management honorary awards and occupied four of the five rookie first-team seats.

Among the three miscellaneous awards, Menglong won two more.

However, in Kongbu's view, these honors are not very valuable. The truly valuable awards will be released next.

Stern began announcing the All-Defensive Team of the Year.

As a coach who attaches great importance to defense, this is an honor that Kongbu cares about very much.

The best defensive team: Uncle Mu, Ben, Wu Sheng, Jordan and Payton.

All-Defensive second team: Camby, O'Brien, Duncan, McGrady plus Snow.

Everyone in the audience took a breath after hearing about the annual defensive lineup.

There are a total of ten places, and Menglong was selected for five, truly occupying half of the country.

If Snow hadn't been traded away midway through the season, six of the Rams would have been selected to the All-Defensive Team this year.

Old Thomas was so shocked that he was completely speechless.

Back then, the Pistons relied on defense, but they had never had such luxurious achievements.

Kongbu was shocked. He never dreamed that he would be selected so many.

It's not surprising that Ben was selected to the first team. With his defensive data, advanced defensive data and even defensive performance on the court this year, he is fully qualified to compete for DPOY.

It is very surprising that Wu Sheng can be selected for the first team.

However, considering that Pippen played too few games this season, it is normal for him to be squeezed out by Wu Sheng.

Here we have to mention the increase in the team's overall defense to the player's personal defense advanced data.

The better the team's overall defense is, the higher the player's defensive win contribution value or defensive efficiency value will be. These two advanced statistics of Wu Sheng are a bit unbelievable.

He was already very good defensively, and with the team's growth, his advanced statistics were even better than Pippen's.

Coupled with the fact that Pippen played too few games, it was only natural that Wu Sheng would be selected for the first team.

This increase is most obvious in Billups under normal circumstances.

During his years with the Pistons, Billups' defensive efficiency could even reach 99, and his defensive win share could reach an astonishing 4.2, which was already better than many of Kobe's seasons.

Once he left the Pistons, for example, and later joined the Nuggets, his defensive efficiency dropped directly to 110, allowing his opponent to score 11 more points per 100 possessions.

Before joining the Pistons, he played two seasons with the Timberwolves, scoring 108 and 107 respectively.

Billups is still the same Billups, but the advanced defensive statistics are completely different.

In the defensive second team, Camby's defensive performance is definitely qualified to be selected for the second team, but Ou and McGrady are a bit uncertain.

In fact, Ou's defensive performance may not be as good as Oakley's, and as for McGrady's defense, it may not be as good as the Lakers' Eddie House.
