Chapter 766 MVP Award Ceremony

"Gentlemen and ladies! This is the NBA playoffs, Lakers VS Suns GAME 1!"

"At the same time, this is also the MVP award ceremony."

Reform in the NBA is ongoing.

The original regular season MVP and other awards would not be announced until the second round of the playoffs.

Even in Xiao Hua's era, he waited until the playoffs were over before announcing these awards. It was ridiculous and generous, and the quality of MVP and regular season honors dropped by countless levels!

After all, the championship has been announced and the FMVP has been announced. Who cares who your regular season MVP is.

That MVP was almost the worst MVP ever!

Regular season honors and awards should be announced at the end of the regular season and before the start of the playoffs!

This is not a difficult task. It can be done if the polling personnel and staff are more efficient.

This year Stern tried this method. For the first time in history, an award like the regular season MVP was awarded in the first game of the playoffs.

"Congratulations, young man, it's you again this year." Stern handed the trophy to Kobe and joked with a smile.

"President, I'm afraid you will see me again on the podium of the finals in a while. Don't get bored then." Kobe happily took the trophy and smiled.

2 consecutive MVPs achieved!

Second consecutive scoring champion achieved!

Two consecutive bursts of defense are achieved!

MVP, Most Valuable Player, such an award will only appear once a season.

This is the greatest honorary award for the long regular season. Every player who wins this award has the best achievements in the league this year!

NBA! Basketball's greatest league!

NBA MVP! The greatest regular season award in the greatest league!

This is an award given to the player with the best performance in a long 82 games, the most popular player in world basketball.

There are only dozens of players who have won this award!

The only player to win twice was Bob Pettit.

Players who have won three times - Magic Earvin Johnson, Big Bird Larry Bird, Prophet Moses Malone.

The player who won four times - Basketball Emperor Wilt Chamberlain.

Five times - Basketball God Michael Jordan, Lord of the Rings Bill Russell.

Six times there was only one player - Kareem Jabbar!

In the third season of his career, Kobe won two MVPs, making him a legend!

And his career still has a very long time. He has won three times and four times without any problems!

even

Kobe is the only player in history who may surpass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and win more MVPs!

Stern knew this clearly, so when he presented the award, he looked at Kobe with anticipation.

This season, Kobe has averaged 32.6 minutes per game since last year, shooting 48.9% from the field, 39.5% from three-point range, 31.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, 8.3 assists, 3.6 steals, 0.9 blocks, and 2.8 turnovers!

This year, he averaged 36.7 minutes per game, shot 51.5% from the field, 40.2% from three-point range, and averaged 41.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, 7.2 assists, 2.5 steals, 0.6 blocks, and 2.7 turnovers per game!

This is a qualitative change!

If we talk about last year's Lakers, Kobe and O'Neal's status is still equal.

So this year, Kobe's limelight has completely overshadowed O'Neal!

Although this is related to O'Neal's injury.

This year's Kobe Bryant averaged 41.9 points per game, surpassing Elgin Baylor's 38.3 points per game for the Los Angeles Lakers in the 1961-62 season.

Surpassing the 1960-61 season, Wilt Chamberlain, Philadelphia Warriors, averaged 38.4 points per game.

Surpassing the 1986-1987 season, Jordan averaged 37.1 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 2.9 steals and 1.5 blocks per game.

fear!

He became the second player in history to average 40+ per game in a season.

"Kobe! He will become a legend." Old Buss's face flushed and he stood on the sidelines and clapped hard.

"No, he's already a legend." Jerry West smiled.

3 years!

Kobe's achievements in his three-year career surpassed 99% of the players in the league.

How could you not love Kobe like this?

"Hey! Don't get it dirty!!!" Campbell shouted angrily as he looked at the little fish holding the MVP trophy with saliva almost dripping on it.

"Hmm." Xiaoyu wiped the corner of his mouth with his other hand, but his eyes were still looking at the MVP trophy.

What a joke!

This is MVP!

The most important award in the entire basketball world on earth, now that I have the opportunity to view the trophy, Xiaoyu will not miss this opportunity!

"With the boss here, I may never be able to win this trophy in my life."

"But... look, it's good to touch her. At least I was only this close to her."

"I'm not envious at all!"

Shark O'Neal was hiding in the corner, gnawing on a burger pretending not to care.

But the seven or eight empty hamburger packaging boxes in front of him showed that he was not at peace in his heart.

"I'm not envious! If I didn't get injured, it would be easy to win the MVP!"

"I am the boss of the Lakers! I have the largest contract in the Lakers! I am the number one center in the league! My future will rule an era!"

O'Neill viciously turned his envy, jealousy and hatred into appetite and took a big bite of the burger.

"Stop eating! Shaq! The game is about to begin!"

"It's just a simple pre-game meal, no fuss."

The staff watched in stunned silence as O'Neal stuffed the Lakers' pregame meal for 15 people into his own stomach.

"No wonder he's called Big Shark"

"Coach, it's a pity that you didn't win the Coach of the Season award." Kobe looked at Harris apologetically.

Harris' reputation has changed this season.

Last year, Harris was still known in the league for his various perfect tactics and his ability to combine Kobe and O'Neal. He has almost become the most prominent coach in the league. His tactical manual has been studied by many coaches not only in the NBA, but also in the NCAA.

Coach K once called Harris' tactics "the cunning of the fox."

And what about this season?

The reason Harris didn't win the Coach of the Year award wasn't just because the Hornets' record was better than the Lakers'.

And there is another reason, which is the change in Kobe's playing style.

Last year's Lakers were still a team with Kobe as the core of the offense and O'Neal as the core of the offense.

And this year, due to O'Neal's condition and injury issues, the Lakers are almost carried by Kobe alone!

Kobe's playing style has also changed greatly!

A large number of singles filled the space where O'Neal was absent.

This allowed Kobe to win the MVP, but it also made the Lakers' tactics become simple and single.

Of course, the best coach will not be given to a head coach who only lets the players play alone!

On the other side, the Hornets and Jackson quickly put Jordan, Hill, and a large group of role players together and won 73 wins!

In this way, you don't have to think about it to know who will win the best coach award.
