This season, the best defensive player went to the Pistons' Big Ben. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yang Di came in third among all the votes, behind Big Ben and Duncan.

In the general opinion, Yang Di's help defense is definitely not a problem, with super fast feet and excellent jumping, he can radiate to the free throw line in the paint area, and the blocking and switching defense is particularly strong, which directly enriches the Warriors' defensive level.

But Yang Di's single defense is not impeccable, in the face of opponents who weigh much heavier than him, Yang Di is easy to get into foul trouble when defending, and if he doesn't jump, the opponent can easily use his height and weight to get space to shoot, and hit him off guard.

When selecting the best team, Yang Di, who has much better offensive statistics than Daben, became the center in the third team.

not only squeezed out Big Ben, but also squeezed Yao Ming out of the best team, you know, last year, Yao Ming was also selected for the third team in the league.

The center in the second team before Yang Di is Amare Stoudemire, who averages 26 points and 8.9 rebounds per game, which is indeed much better than Yang Di, and the Suns' record is the highest in the league. The previous one was O'Neal, who averaged 22.9 points, 10.4 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game, leading the Heat to the first place in the East, and it is understandable that he was elected.

It was also a star-studded time.

First team: Nash, Iverson, Nowitzki, Duncan and O'Neal, second team: Ray Allen, Wade, James, Garnett, Stoudemire, three teams: Arenas, Kobe, Maddy, Marion and Jandy.

Not only were newcomers with good data such as Yao Ming and Ginobili not selected, but even veteran stars such as Carter and Kidd were also not selected.

When selecting the defensive lineup, many head coaches thought of the Warriors' No. 8, so in the first lineup, Yang Di also scored a lot of points.

There is no position in the defensive lineup, but the top 10 points are finally taken as the manager himself puts out the best defensive lineup.

In this way, Ben Wallace, Duncan, Yang Di, and Garnett were all selected for the defensive team.

Add Bruce Bowen and this year's Defensive All-Star team has been particularly strange for a while.

It was the second team that became normal, with Larry Hughes, Billups, Kirilenko, Prince and Marcus Camby.

The head coaches selected four of the Pistons' starting five to the All-Defensive Team, and almost all of them were top defensive players except for Hamilton, which shows how strong the Pistons' defense was during this period.

After the selection results came out, Yang Di surpassed Yao Ming for the first time and became the object of heated discussion among Chinese fans.

The pressure on the Basketball Association is even greater, and now many people are criticizing their ability to implement their work and the purity of their work - even a local and excellent player like Yang Di cannot be recruited into the national team.

If it is really for the sake of the country's achievements, no matter what the problem, it should be possible to negotiate and solve it.

The better Yang Di performs, the greater the pressure on the officials, and life is not very easy.

What's even more terrifying is that some media broke the news that the reason why Yang Di can't play for the country is not that he is not a national athlete, but that the Basketball Association wants to obtain Yang Di's personal income in the United States, like Yao Ming, who took out 5% of the after-tax income, which can be regarded as a compromise of "bowing his head".

Otherwise, when other players go out to play in the future, they will be like Yang Di, and for them, they can't control it.

After the playoffs, the Basketball Association officially sent personnel to Los Angeles to meet with Yang Di's agent, Bill Duffy, to really talk about Yang Di's return to the national team.

......

36 hours before the start of the draft, San Francisco.

In the Warriors' office, Bill Duffy came over from Los Angeles on purpose.

As soon as they met, General Manager Chris Mullin hugged Bill big and took the contract from the table.

"Yang Di's contract renewal, you see if there are any problems."

"If there is any problem, don't we communicate on the email, they are all watched by the players' union." Bill Duffy pretended to excuse himself, but he still took the contract and read it carefully, word by word.

"Wouldn't three years be too short, why not sign a long-term contract?" Chris Mullin persuaded Bill Duffy to sign a longer contract with Young.

"It's not short, three years is actually quite long."

Bill Duffy said: "You can see how fast Yang Di is improving, and he will definitely be an All-Star in the league next season. 24 million for 3 years is actually definitely a low contract. ”

"If you sign a long-term contract, your salary will rise, and you can reach an average of 10 million for five years." Mullin said.

After a while, Bill Duffy read all the treaties and closed the contract.

"Okay, this contract is back to you, there is no problem." Bill Duffy said with a smile: "It's a pity that Yang Di is still on vacation in the Bahamas, otherwise he would have been able to sign a contract today." ”

"Don't worry, he's already entrusted to you anyway, and there's nothing else to stop him from leaving Golden State."

'yes, he's very happy to be here, it's like coming back to his own home, the fans here are lovely and supportive.

"I haven't asked him for his opinion at the draft, I don't know what he thinks." Mullin said.

Bill Duffy laughed: "I know this, I talked to him about this topic before. ”

"He wants the team to pick two more interior players."

"Inside?" Mullin was taken aback, wondering why Yang Di had such an idea, and according to the situation of his joint trial in Chicago some time ago, he was also going to select some defenders to strengthen the second team.

"Yang Di found that his shooting was becoming more and more accurate, and his style of play was gradually developing in a comprehensive direction." Bill Duffy said: "I don't know if you've watched his playoff games, when he faced Duncan, most of the games were dribbling to the basket and scoring points, except for the second offense of grabbing rebounds. ”

"It's like Charles Barkley, Yang Di can do it with a lot of power." Bill Duffy said.

Mullin was thoughtful, he knew that what Beal said was true, Yang Di was indeed very comprehensive, and he was not particularly good at the single defensive ability required by the center position, but the forward position, whether it was height and weight, or playing style, should be more suitable for him, which head coach Montgomery also told him.

But the problem is that there is already a very practical player Murphy in the power forward position, if Yang Di wants to play power forward.

Unless.

Mullin's heart skipped a beat, and he muttered to himself.

"Is the deal ......?"
