Chapter 300 Best Defensive Player
The day after the game against the Hornets, public opinion across the country was hyping Ye's 32 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists, 6 steals and 5 blocks.
Ye's large 5x5 data is the fourth player in active service to have such data.
The first three are Jamal Tinsley, Kirilenko and Marcus Camby.
Among them, Kirilenko hit three times alone and is now the most famous Mr. 5x5 in the league.
5x5 statistics are very uncommon even in the NBA.
And this data is actually not of much use to ordinary players.
Jamal Tinsley, Divac, etc., they have all achieved this data.
But is anyone still mentioning it now?
Of course not.
But if those players who are already famous for their defense get 5x5 data, this will give this player a very large bargaining chip in the competition for the best defensive player or the best defensive team.
In the game against the Hornets, the 5x5 data obtained by Ye Si was given this meaning by the media.
"This is the worst second half I've ever seen Chris Paul play!"
"Chris Paul has no chance under Yes' defense!"
"Height, weight, speed, jumping, strength, technology, experience, Yes covers Chris Paul in all aspects, even small moves, Chris Paul is not as good as Yes!"
"Yes's defense was overshadowed by his offense!"
"Yes not only has the offensive ability to compete with Kobe Bryant for the scoring title, but also has the defensive ability to compete with Marcus Camby for the best defensive player!"
"Camby's blocking is very good. He averaged 3+ blocks per game for three consecutive seasons. It's shocking, but I like Yes's defense better!"
"Camby's defensive data is very good, but he will lose his defensive position for the defensive data. Yes will not. Yes will almost never lose his defensive position on the court. He blocks Chris Paul's top single defense ability and serves as an inside defender in the Rookie Challenge. With top-notch defensive capabilities, Yes not only holds the record for blocks and steals in the Rookie Challenge, but also played 5x5 in the NBA regular season. Yes proves that as long as he pursues defensive data, these data are easily available to him!"
Defeating the Hornets on the road secured the SuperSonics' position in the Western Conference playoffs.
At the same time, this game also made Yes a contender for the best defensive player, which was a bit of an unexpected surprise.
The NBA's best defensive player this year has entered the window period.
The so-called window period means that several of the strongest contenders for the best defensive player have encountered various problems.
The judges didn't know how to choose.
Ben Wallace, who has won the Defensive Player of the Year award for four of the past five years, has seen a sharp decline in defense since coming to the Bulls this season.
This season has become one of the worst backdrops for the Garfield Hurricane.
Artest, the only player to steal the Defensive Player of the Year award from Ben Wallace in the past five years, may not even make the playoffs with the Kings.
Duncan, who has always been very strong in defense, is still being ignored. Duncan's simple defensive style does not have an eye-catching defensive masterpiece, and he always likes to be used as a backdrop.
This has always been a disadvantage in the selection of the best defensive player by media reporters and TV commentators.
If Duncan could roar a few more times after every block, he might have more than one Defensive Player of the Year.
Data and outstanding defensive performance are all eye-catching effects and are also the most important basis for selecting the best defensive player.
Yes's defensive statistics are far inferior to Camby's, but his defensive masterpiece is better than Camby's.
His previous brilliance at the power forward position among the five primary schools in the Rookie Challenge, his previous "iron-blooded defensive battle" with the "NBA's most iron-blooded" Bruce Bowen, plus his previous defense of the "snake-letting tactic" created by Kobe Bryant, and this Against the Hornets in the game, the performance of "blocking Paul" can be regarded as a good classic moment.
Defensive Player of the Year is not a very important award.
If a role player wins Defensive Player of the Year, he is still a role player.
If a star player wins the Defensive Player of the Year award, he is still a star player and cannot become a superstar.
But if a "superstar" or "super giant" like Yeas wins the best defensive player, the effect is still very good, especially since he is still competing with Kobe for a while this year.
Kobe was about to win the scoring title, and his defense was always online.
His scoring is not as good as Kobe's, and his defense is not as good as Kobe's, but their records are about the same.
Even if he is more favored, it will still be somewhat undeserved.
He needs to have a reason for the judges to vote for him, and he also needs to give the outside world a reason for him to overpower Kobe.
Defensive Player of the Year is a good reason.
After the game against the Hornets, the efforts of the Sonics players went up to another level.
Before the game against the Hornets started, Rondo was still a little distracted.
After the fight, Rondo had a bunch of marks left by Paul on his body, and some of his floating emotions disappeared.
In the first half, when Paul faced him, it was like a god descending from heaven.
In the second half, when the god-like Paul faced Yes, he played just like him in the first half!
This gap prevented Rondo from sleeping well all night.
This means that there are still two Pauls missing between Long Erye and Yes!
No, maybe more than that!
There may be one Paul missing between him and Paul.
But who knows how many Pauls there are between Paul and Ye Jiuye?
Maybe five or eight!
Ye Jiuye is stronger than imagined.
Mr. Long's strength is a little worse than expected.
Originally, the second master's plan was to get revenge in one or two years. Looking at it this way, this time has to be multiplied by five or eight times!
Not happy!
"Rajan, stop blacksmithing, let's go over there and take a look. Yes is guarding Darko!"
Yes is defending Darko? !
Are you kidding me?
No matter how good Yes's defense is, can he still defend Milicic? !
Rondo glanced at the Spurs' home basket reluctantly.
You're lucky, the second master won't hit you first!
When Rondo and Millsap came to the other side of the court, all SuperSonics players had gathered around.
Everyone's eyes are on Yes and Milicic at the waist position under the basket.
Milicic singled out Tucker, which is a regular practice item for the Sonics.
Now what's going on?
"Yes said he wanted to try defending Darko!"
Tucker is excited!
Since the last loss to the Mavericks, he has been coached by Malikros to defend against the big, as if isolated from other Sonics players.
Although his current small defense ability has improved greatly under the education of Malik Rose, the former Spurs legendary star, it is really boring!
The Seattle shoe king also has a heart for chasing dazzle!
Did Yes hear my voice?
Even if he is abused by Darko, everyone must remember the Sonics and his kind!
Rajon has been quarantined by the team for half a year. Has Yes paid a visit? !
This treatment is so touching!
Darko, if you dare to use too much force, be careful that the shoe king will kick your ass later!
