Chapter 112: 111: Multiple First Shea Awards in History Receive Relentless Hands(3/4)
The last person to receive unanimous votes in the Rookie of the Year voting was the Admiral.
Larry Johnson, who was once the strongest player in the NCAA and the top pick who had great success last summer, was completely stepped on by Shay just one year later!
Auntie originally thought that the gap between her averages of 19.2 points, 11 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1 steal per game was not opened up by Shay.
There is still hope that I can give it a try.
As a result, he didn't get a single vote!
The reporters all said that Big Mom was a good player, and then all the votes were given to Shay.
Auntie, I’m done with it, why don’t you just hand out good guy cards!
Big Mom's statistics are indeed good, but Shay's 50 wins is too hard.
What's more, in several head-to-head matches, it was Shay who won the game.
In addition, Shay has the bonus of a big ball market, so he can win the favor of voters.
To be honest, if they hadn't seen Auntie's name on the candidate list, many people would have almost forgotten that there was a No. 1 pick in the 91st draft.
Naturally, Shea, who was selected to the All-Rookie Team, made the team without a doubt.
But compared with the honors that followed, the rookie lineup was completely worthless to Shay.
Because in the All-Defensive Team announced a few days later, people were shocked to find
Shay is actually on the defensive first team roster!
1992 All-Defensive Team: Admiral, Rodman, Piccio and Shea!
Shay became the first player in NBA history to be selected to the All-Defensive First Team in his rookie season!
Legends such as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Olajuwon, and the Admiral also entered the All-Defensive Team in their rookie seasons.
However, they could only make the second defensive team in their rookie season!
No one expected that this record would eventually be broken by a defender.
Under normal circumstances, it takes a period of practice for defenders to gain a firm foothold on the defensive end.
Even for a player like Payton who will win DPOY as a point guard in the future, his defensive ability has taken a long time to develop.
But Shay successfully made history by relying on his physical condition for fouling at the No. 1 position and a series of defensive badges!
For the guard position, Shea's competitors are Stockton and Dumars of the Pistons.
And Shea's defense is obviously not inferior to those two.
This achievement is extremely valuable. Being selected for the defensive first team is not an easy thing in itself, let alone being selected as a rookie.
I thought this was already a high point, but anyone who knows Shay knows that he often likes to keep people high.
The day after being named to the All-Defensive First Team, Shea was named to the All-NBA Team.
Although this time he was not selected to the best first team, but was selected to the best second team.
But it’s already very impressive.
In fact, because of Stockton's presence, Shea's second team is still relatively dangerous.
However, considering that the Jazz are second in the Western Conference this season, they only have 48 wins.
So in the end, Shay relied on his better leadership performance and joined forces with the Beetles to join the second team!
Stockton was squeezed into the third team, and the first team defenders were naturally Jordan and Glider.
Shea's first- and second-team defense in his rookie season also made history!
The first rookie in history to be selected to the first and second teams!
In history, there are only three players who can be selected to both the All-Defensive Team and the All-NBA Team in their rookie seasons, and they are all big men.
They are Olajuwon, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and the Admiral.
But all three of their rookie seasons were in the second team and second defense.
You can't get twice as good as twice.
Only Shay can defend one and two formations!
This record will probably have to wait until some idiot who can sit on the ground and take T-attacks, who used to be a defensive player in his rookie season, can be broken again.
Even Magic, who won the Finals MVP in his rookie season, was not selected to the All-NBA team, while Shea directly joined the first and second teams.
This shows how big a sensation Shay caused in Los Angeles.
This rookie season is so hard for honors, he is simply heading towards the path of becoming a superstar!
Ever since, although Shea was eliminated in the playoffs,...
The popularity is rising instead of falling!
Drexler was speechless. Why does it feel like Shay is more popular than me!?
It doesn't matter, when I, Ah Hua, win the championship this year, everyone will know who is the final winner!
Then, there is no more.
After Drexler defeated the Lakers, he beat the Jazz 4-2 and met the Bulls in the Finals for the second consecutive year.
This is also the third consecutive season since the 1990 season that the Drakes have reached the finals.
This year, Drexler has improved and they won one more game than last year.
Last year it was 1 to 4, this year it is 2 to 4.
But since the first game, Jordan has been toying with, yes, toying with the Trail Blazers!
Before the finals started, many media said that Jordan was not invincible.
For example, his three-point shot is not as good as a glider.
As a result, in the first game, Jordan did something worse than an animal.
In front of the whole world, he hit 6 three-pointers in half the game and slapped all the media in the face!
When he made his sixth three-pointer, he spread his hands facing Clifford Robinson, who was defending him, as if to say: "Who do you think my three-pointers are inferior to?"
The most classic "Battle of Hands" in NBA history was born.
This story tells us, don't mess with Jordan.
This story also tells us that players who are closely related to GOAT like to show their hands.
With 6 three-pointers in the half, Jordan scored 35 points in the half. In the second half, he only took 6 shots and provided 7 assists.
He sat off the court for almost half of the third quarter, and only played a few symbolic minutes in the beginning of the fourth quarter.
At this point, the Bulls still won easily.
Jordan led the team to toy with the Trail Blazers!
In the second game, Pippen and Grant pulled their hips, and the Blazers stole a game.
In the third game, Drexler scored 30 points for the first time in the series, but his teammates were helplessly limited to a shooting percentage of only 35% and lost the home game.
The Glider was restricted again in Game 4, but the Trail Blazers relied on their extremely thick bench to hold on and tied the series with a total score of 2-2.
At first glance, the two sides seem to be evenly matched.
But after the fourth game, Jordan adopted a posture of "Okay, the game is over."
So G5 scored 46 points, and the gods came down to earth and took away the game by force.
G6 contributed 33 points and limited the glider's shooting percentage to only 33%.
It feels like Jordan just exerted a little effort and defeated the strongest Trail Blazers in the Western Conference.
He only made a slight move, which was already the limit of this segment.
The brutality of the game was not even close to that of the Bulls VS Knicks in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
In the six-game series, Jordan averaged 35.8 points per game and shot 52.6% from the field.
Drexler scored 24.8 points and shot only 40.7% from the field.
Jordan's scoring and shooting percentage are both double digits higher than Drexler's. The difference is clear!
So after the game, Jordan said that classic sentence:
"I don't hate him, but if I don't knock him out, you will think we are players of the same level."
In this way, Michael Jordan won the championship trophy for the second consecutive year with an almost crushing attitude!
In this era, two consecutive championships is almost the most powerful honor.
Because since the Celtics during the Bill Russell era, the longest a team can win is two consecutive championships.
Before that, the Pistons and Lakers in the 1980s could only win two consecutive championships.
Bird's Celtics never even won back-to-back championships.
Considering that Russell's era can be regarded as ancient times, two consecutive championships is almost the ceiling of modern basketball.
