You must be jealous of my passing talent to not give me this award!

"Yes, a rough guy like Ben can only win the best defensive player award in this life, what else can he do?

Unlike me, I am a man who takes the blame... and takes the ball to the extreme.

This award should be regarded as a consolation to Ben. Otherwise, he would have received nothing throughout his career, which would be really pitiful."

Artest comforted himself in his heart.

In fact, he is not pitiful at all. If Artest hadn't interfered last season, he would have been DPOY for four consecutive seasons.

So at the press conference, Ben also said: "This time they finally picked the right person, and the best defensive player award returned to the real best defensive player, instead of being taken away by some clown."

When Artest heard this, he was unhappy.

Why do you call Wayne a clown!?

Give you some sunshine, do you really think you are a hot spot?

Ah? The clown Ben mentioned is me?

Impossible, impossible, he wouldn’t dare to talk to me like that!

Therefore, when facing reporters during the regular interview period, Artest also responded to Ben: "He may be the most vulnerable defensive player in the history of the league."

Tianzun: "It seems that the clown really responded to us."

Artest: "Shut up, it would be nice if you talked so much when you and Wei were playing against each other."

Big Ben: "The result of this series will not be any different from last season."

Artest: "4-0 in the regular season, you can savor it yourself."

Well, the Eastern Conference semifinals haven't even started yet, and the two sides are already at war with each other just to receive the award.

Between the Pacers and Pistons, there is no need for any hype or mobilization.

Just seeing each other, both parties have the urge to crush each other to death.

All the events of last season's Eastern Conference Finals are now on everyone's mind.

Prince's pursuit of Miller, Artest's big elbow to Hamilton, the basketball kicked away by Miller, and Rasheed's endless roar...

Just thinking about these scenes, everyone on the Pacers team is already ready to steal the guy.

Wayne, Wu Sheng and Payton are relatively calm among them. After all, they have not personally experienced last season's Eastern Conference Finals.

But under the influence of other people, he is basically in a state of gearing up and doing whatever he doesn't accept.

In the following days, the Bulls and Celtics had not yet decided the winner, and regular season awards continued to be awarded.

This year's Most Improved Award went to Bobby Simmons, and the best coach was Mustache D'Antoni, who pioneered 7 seconds of offense and 0 seconds of defense.

The day after this, Steve Nash also became the MVP of the 2004-05 season with 32.2% of the votes!

It is worth mentioning that O'Neal's vote rate was only 1% lower than Nash, which was considered a narrow victory for Nash.

When Nash won the MVP, it seems that Stern wanted to tell the world - a new era has come, you can all attack hard, it is best if a player can score 40 or 50 points in a single game, and a team

If you can score 150 points, don't stop fighting and defending!

If you keep doing this, NBA ratings will drop to freezing point!

Spurs, Pacers, Pistons: "You can say it, but we won't listen!"

Carlyle's Third Law: "When I can't beat others in physical combat, I call on the league to make changes. When I can't beat others in physical combat, I fight in physical combat."

After the annual MVP award was finally announced, only the Rookie of the Year award for this year's regular season has yet to be announced.

Yes, this year, the Best Newcomer Award is the finale, which is very strange.

Who among Wayne or Okafor will be the Rookie of the Year in 2004 is also attracting much attention.

Some people think that Okafor's double-double average is bad, while others think that Wayne has the potential to be a superstar.

But before the results were known, on May 7, the Celtics and Bulls fought in a tiebreaker, and the Celtics finally won the first round of the playoffs.

In other words, on May 8, the Pacers and Pistons will start their battle at Bankers Life Arena.

The two sides have had so many verbal exchanges before, and now it's finally time for a real-life confrontation.

This season's regular season was swept by the Pacers, and double Wallace was humiliated by Wayne's beating. It's time to settle the accounts!

There is no doubt that this will be a series with very frequent and rough physical contact.
Chapter completed!
