The Way of the Center - Chapter 857
Since Adam Xiao Hua became the president of nba, he has been committed to making the nba brand more in line with the market.
For example, last season, Xiao Hua will change the regular season awards announced one by one during the playoffs of each season to after the championship is decided, a special award ceremony will be held for awards.
Compared with the past awards in the media reception room of each team’s home stadium, the award ceremony is undoubtedly made the NBA more commercialized, and it will also allow the league to continue to attract the attention of fans during the summer offseason.
This year, because the strength of each team has been reinforced to a certain extent, the playoffs were quite tragic. Even the Trail Blazers won the championship, have gone through a difficult journey.
Against this background, Adam Xiao Hua postponed the award ceremony. The purpose is to hope that after the dissatisfaction and unwillingness in the hearts of the players have passed, they can gather together to participate in the ceremony.
If the awards ceremony were held just after the season, it might be difficult to see James applauding for Anjie.
Today, Anjie and his family drove back to the United States from Brazil in order to participate in this ceremony. If it’s nothing to do, Anjie really doesn’t want to come back from Brazil. But the nba official made it very clear on the phone. “I’m afraid you will be nominated for multiple awards.”
If the winners themselves are not on the scene, then An Jie will not give NBA face too much. So this guy who was not used to the award ceremony had to end his trip to Brazil ahead of schedule, wearing a suit, and appeared in the Basketball City Park at Port 36 in Manhattan, New York.
Except for Anjie, it is naturally shining with stars. Needless to say, many NBA stars naturally, many stars in the entertainment circle are here today to join in.
Before the award ceremony, the famous American rapper Jay-z made a warm-up performance for the ceremony. His song is undoubtedly a complete explosion of the scene. Before the ceremony started, the atmosphere was successfully mobilized by this hip-hop godfather.
After the performance, to the applause of everyone in the audience, NBA President Adam Xiao Hua walked out of the backstage with a smile. An Jie hasn’t forgotten this guy’s smile, because he just took the O’Brien Cup from this guy more than a month ago.
The award ceremony began soon, but Anjie was surprised that when the second award was announced, he was called out by name.
For the best moment of the playoffs, Anjie defeated the Warriors in the tiebreaker to lead the Blazers to the finals and successfully defeated all opponents to stand out.
At this time, when Stephen Curry and others saw the replay of the ball, they only admired from the heart. Sadness has passed, and that failed season is over. Now, it would be better to applaud the guy who created the wonderful goal.
After several awards, Anjie also gave applause to his opponents. This guy, Thomas, won the best community service award, while playing basketball. Little Thomas did not forget to help others.
The best performance of the year will be won by Curry. He scored 28 points in a single quarter against the Hornets in the regular season, making the game completely lost.
It wasn’t until the Best Fighting Award that Anjie came to the stage again. These new NBA awards may not contain much gold, but they are a good way for fans to look back on this entire season.
The scene of the return of the king in the last game of Anjie finals made the audience burst into cheers once again. James even took the initiative to stand up and hug Anjie, showing respect for his performance at that time.
The Best Fighting Award, An Jie, who was injured for the championship, is simply synonymous with this award.
After more than ten minutes, An Jie, who hadn’t been hot on his hips, came on stage again. This time, Anjie won the best cover award. During the regular season, Anjie caught the Lakers forward Larry Lance’s dunk. In this scene, there may not be a second person in the entire league that can do it.
As these “warm-up” awards were announced one by one, the award ceremony became more and more interesting. Fans who watched the live broadcast of the ceremony know that the “warm up” is almost over. For those traditional NBA awards, it’s time to announce the results.
Oladipo, who won the Most Improved Award, kicked off the NBA main award. This guy was very excited after he came on the court, because he was at a trough the previous season, and this year he finally bottomed out.
After the Best Progress Award, another important member of the Trail Blazers went to the podium. George Ricard, this guy won the title of best coach again after many years.
If Ricard relied on the strong lineup of the Trail Blazers to win in the past, then this year, when the Trail Blazers were plagued by injuries, after he used a closed training to completely change the Trail Blazers, Ricard’s coaching ability , There is no doubt.
Even Ricard’s rivals D’Antoni and Vicki said in front of reporters. “George Ricard is definitely an extraordinary best coach. He has always adhered to the principles of traditional basketball, but with tradition, he has opened up a whole new world.”
Ricard raised the Little Gold Cup. Ten years ago, he had just joined Iowa State University, but he never thought that one day he would get such an honor, and more than once.
After winning the prize and stepping down, Ricard and Anjie hugged tightly. These two guys can be said to have achieved each other.
No matter how good the coach’s tactics are, the players are still playing. If An Jie had not attacked the city for himself, Ricard might not be what he is today.
After the members of the Trail Blazers won another award, the award ceremony was temporarily dominated by other teams.
Jordan Clarkson of the Los Angeles Lakers won the best sixth man, and Ben Simmons, the No. 1 pick of the 76ers who was “late” for a year, won the best rookie.
The penultimate award for the best defensive player, finally let the appetite of the fans.
Morris, Drummond Green, Leonard, Gobert and Angel became the final candidates.
Since the beginning of the 11-12 season, the award for the best defensive player has never changed hands. For six consecutive years, it was obtained by An Jie. This record is not only unprecedented, it is even possible that there will be no one in the future. After all, a player like An Jie who completely dominates the defensive end is really likely to never appear again.
So this year, can Anjie win this award again? Whether the new generation of players such as Gobert and Leonard can shake Anjie’s position has become the biggest suspense.
Gobert’s frame protection efficiency is very high, and Drummond Green has also proved that he is an all-around defensive expert. As for Morris, this guy’s defense has always been underestimated, but after joining the Blazers this year, the moment he stood up again and again on the defensive end, he finally made everyone admire him. Leonard, needless to say, is now the best perimeter defensive gate in the NBA. And An Jie is the high benchmark, a monster that can really defend from the first position to the fifth position.
Adam Xiao Hua knows that the fans are looking forward to the results of this award, so he also made a fuss when he announced the answer.
Finally, Xiao Hua looked at the envelope. The camera shows five candidates, all with different expressions on their faces. But only An Jie, he just smiled faintly.
The best defensive player, for Anjie, is as common as eating and sleeping.
“Let’s congratulate An! He has become the best defensive player in this league for the seventh consecutive year!” Sure enough, when Xiao Hua announced the answer, An Jie just stood up and bowed gently to the guests around him. No one can shake Anjie’s position with this award!
His performance on the defensive end is phenomenal, as long as Anjie is in the penalty area, the other 29 teams must find another way out. Countless superstars have been defeated in the penalty area guarded by An Jie, the best defensive player is none other than An Jie.
In the end, the award ceremony entered the **. The results of the regular season mvp will be announced soon.
In the two years when the Trail Blazers failed to reach the finals, Anjie also missed consecutive mvp awards. The year before last, Stephen Curry broke the rule of Anjie and snatched the mvp away. Last year, Anjie’s good brother Westbrook became another brand-new MVP with historic statistics of triple-doubles per game.
This year, Harden, Curry, Durant, Westbrook and Anjie will compete for this award. What’s interesting is that among the five candidates, there is only An Jie an inside player. Among them, three have played for the Thunder. Of course, people have also discovered that the once omnipotent “little emperor” has fallen out of the candidate list because of his increased age and declining data.
The situation where the three thunderous young masters ruled the alliance separately has become a topic of interest in the media. Of course, this has also become a lifelong pain for the Thunder general manager Presti. If he had allowed the three to continue working together, God knows what the Thunder will be like.
On the big screen, the highlights of the five candidates in a season are playing. Judging from the highlights, each of them is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Each of them represents the highest level of the league.
The big screen at the scene went dark and the lights turned on again. Xiao Hua walked to the stage again, and the camera showed An Jie’s face again.
Anjie held Catherine’s hand tightly, beside him, Ricard was praying to heaven.
Anjie’s competitors are extremely powerful, and it is not easy for Anjie to regain the mvp trophy.
But from another perspective, Anjie’s performance this year is absolutely commendable. He is the league’s first record, another victory over 70 games, an NBA championship, and an average of 28.6 points, 14.4 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 2.9 blocks per game. The data. Anjie’s performance is no worse than any candidate.
Xiao Hua slowly opened the envelope in his hand, and seeing this scene, An Jie seemed to have returned to the scene when he participated in the draft.
The NBA president on the stage decides An Jie’s fate~www.mtlnovel.com~ An Jie in the stage can only remain calm amidst tension.
Adam Xiao Hua looked at the camera skillfully and opened the envelope quietly, for fear that people would see the contents written in the envelope.
The guy smiled slightly and leaned forward slightly to get closer to the microphone.
“The 2017-2018 season nba regular season mvp award winner is…”
“In the 2008 nba draft, the Sacramento Kings chose…”
The tall giant suddenly stood up, and he felt that his name was about to be called.
“Angel!”
“I chose Anjie, from Iowa State University!”
The two voices interlaced in Angel’s ears, and the two different time and space seemed to interlace together. An Jie walked to the podium in a daze, the dream, once again became a reality…
