Chapter 108 108. Awards Show (for Subscription)
After awarding two relatively low-gold awards, the party entered the first program performance.
I have to say that since Adam Silver became the president of the NBA, there have been a lot of entertainment performances, which is also a way to attract the attention of the audience.
Next up was the Best Teammate Award.
It was voted by NBA players. There were 6 candidates in each of the Eastern and Western divisions. A total of 12 people competed for this award. In the end, Nowitzki of the Mavericks was elected. Carter presented the award to Nowitzki.
Then the commentators announced the three wonderful moments of the season's best assist, best block and best dunk.
The best assist was the Warriors' attack against the Pacers. Green got a rebound from the backcourt and threw it vigorously towards the opponent's basket. After receiving the pass, Curry did not attack by himself, but threw it diagonally.
The best block was when Leonard blocked Harden's layup against the Rockets. Leonard used a catch to grab Harden's layup into his arms, which was neat.
The best dunk is when Oladipo breaks through the bottom line against the Hawks. When he encounters Howard's defense, he folds to the left to dodge his palms and then dunks in the air.Full of energy, the scene is explosive.
The Best Fighting Award of the Year was successfully elected by Rockets point guard Beverly. "Hei Bei" averaged 9.5 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.5 steals per game this season. His tenacious defense and spare no effort fighting spirit in the game have been recognized by the vast majority of fans.
Of course, his "mad dog" behavior also caused a lot of injuries. For example, Westbrook was injured because of his defense and eventually had surgery on the meniscus.
The annual community service award was won by Thomas Jr., and Westbrook won the first annual community service award in the 14-15 season.
The annual sportsmanship award was won by Walker. This is to encourage those players with the best sportsmanship. It includes a wide range of meanings, never give up on the field, and the behavior off the field is recognized by fans and the community. Wall, who is in a red suit, served as the presenter. Walker also gave a speech after taking the stage, expressing his gratitude to the outside world for their support.
Next, Shaquille O'Neal, Alonzo Mourning, David Robinson, Dikembe Mutombo, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar played one by one. The five centers are well-known in NBA history.
"Shark" O'Neal 4th championship, won three consecutive championships with the Lakers at his peak, one of the founders of the OK dynasty, "Admiral" Robinson 2nd championship, second in Mutombo's history in blocks, the only person in the NBA who allowed to shake his finger after a block, Mourning's 2nd DPOY, a world championship, Skyhook Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's history.
As a representative, Abdul-Jabbar introduced another super center, the unique "Lord of the Rings" Bill Russell in history.
Russell has won a total of 13 championship rings in 11 years of his career. He is the player with the most championship rings among all NBA players.Russell has been selected as the NBA Most Valuable Player five times, has been selected to the NBA All-Star Team 12 times, and has been selected to the All-NBA First Team three times.
As one of the greatest players in NBA history, Russell is the first player to collect Olympic gold medals, NBA championships and NCAA championships, and the first African-American coach to coach an NBA team.In addition to being unmatched on the court, Russell, in order to fight for the rights of black players, some of his actions off the court also helped the NBA develop into what it is today and made great contributions.
Today, Russell was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the inaugural ceremony.
There was warm applause for Russell at the scene. In the applause, the 83-year-old Russell staggered onto the stage with the support of others. The old man stood on the stage, pulled away the supporting hand, and joked, "When did the NBA find so many tall men?"
It caused the audience to burst into laughter.
Then, Russell squinted his eyes and carefully looked at the five "slightly famous" juniors, pointing at each of them one by one, "I can blow you five!"
Those who are as strong as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and O'Neal can only cover their faces and laugh, like children being bullied by seniors.
The laughter was even louder, and some players cried while laughing.
Russell's physical condition went from bad to worse, but he still insisted on receiving the honor that belonged to him himself.Russell smiled, took the trophy, and wanted to lift it tremblingly, but finally failed due to lack of strength, "Thank you to everyone, I don't know how much I respect you, I thank you for working hard in your own way, and I am proud to participate in a sport with you."
Feeling the words of the legendary senior, Richard was also full of tears, and clapped his hands vigorously, using this insignificant way to pay tribute to the senior and the legend.
Another performance followed. "Spicy Chicken" Nicki Minaj performed a sexy rap that perfectly matches basketball. Harden's eyes were dull and he was almost moved to tears.
Richard looked at it from a distance and found it very amusing.
Next up is Most Improved Player.
Gobert, Jokic and Antetokounmpo were nominated together, and Nowitzki came to center stage as the award presenter.
Being both a winner and an award presenter, Nowitzki has been outstanding this year.
As Nowitzki clearly pronounced Antetokounmpo's name, he was successfully elected as the Most Improved Player of the year.
This season, Antetokounmpo ushered in a leap year. He started 80 games, averaged 35.6 minutes per game, scored 22.9 points, 8.8 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.9 blocks.
Under the leadership of Antetokounmpo, the Bucks also overcame injuries and achieved 42 wins and 40 losses, winning 9 games more than last season, and returning to the playoffs after a lapse of one year.In terms of personal glory and team achievements, Antetokounmpo has achieved a double harvest.He also became the first Most Improved Award winner in Bucks history.
It's a pity that Antetokounmpo has returned to China and did not come to the scene to accept the award.
The next best coach also produced fierce competition. Popovich led the Spurs back to the top and reached the Western Conference Finals. If Leonard hadn't been padded... I don't know who will enter the finals.
Heat coach Spoelstra also entered the nomination, leading a team of civilian players to the top four in the Eastern Conference, and Spoelstra is indeed very talented.
Finally, the Rockets' head coach D'Antoni, this season the Rockets achieved 55 wins and 27 losses, 2015 more games than the 16-14 season, and also entered the third place in the West;
In the end, D'Antoni won. After receiving the trophy, D'Antoni said: "Usually getting this award is not a good thing. I never thought that one day I would thank the media in New York for choosing me as the best coach."
"This is a team award, not my own. Thanks to my boss, management, my family, and many coaches in the league. I have learned a lot from you."
"Finally winning this honor still depends on the hard work of the players. I am very proud of their dedication and dedication to this season. I am very honored to be a member of this team."
I don't know if the faces of the media and the New York Knicks are hot.
Then came three more entertaining awards.
The best lore was Westbrook's ultra-long three-pointer against the Nuggets. At that time, the Nuggets had three people coming to double-team. After Adams gave the ball, Westbrook made a confident shot in the face of the three people's rush and hit the lore.In that game, Westbrook scored a super triple-double of 50 points, 16 rebounds and 10 assists.
The best performance was given to Thompson. Thompson scored 60 points in three quarters against the Pacers.
The best moment of the playoffs came when Durant hit a game-winning three-pointer in Game [-] of the Finals, this time at the Cavaliers' home court, and helped the Warriors gain match point.
Another period of rest, continue to watch the live singing and dancing.
Sitting under the stage and watching the highlights is really refreshing, it is much better than the video, every goal is the most explosive moment, the best angle to watch, the continuous adrenaline rush is really exciting.
The grand finale is Best Defensive Player, nominated for Leonard, Gobert and Green.
In the end, Green finally defeated Leonard to win the DPOY. This season, Green scored a career-high 2.03 steals. His defensive plus/minus (5.03), defensive win contribution (5.4), and number of opponents' passes destroyed (3.9) all ranked second in the league. He can also limit opponents' shooting percentage at the basket to 44% per game, ranking third.
The Warriors' perfect combination of offense and defense this season is inseparable from Green.
When Kevin Garnett pronounced Green's name, Green jumped up excitedly. Only then did everyone see Green's clothes—a turquoise suit on his upper body, black leggings on his lower body, and a pair of small leather shoes on his feet!
O'Neill teased mercilessly, "This may become a popular dress this year."
Green took the trophy and first thanked Garnett, and then said: "First of all, I want to thank God. Without God, none of this would have happened. I would also like to thank my parents, family, coaches, and Warriors teammates. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to play what I like. Thank you to my teammates. DPOY is not a personal honor. Every time there are five players in the game, I can't achieve success alone."
By the way, Green also complained about his two teammates, Thompson and Durant, neither of whom made the best defensive team...
