324:Wolf buried in the desert(1/2)
Inside the Target Center, fans booed.
Even Stern, who has an extremely strong psychological quality, felt a little embarrassed at this time, and he almost had a hole in his socks.
He looked at Li Ang with a professional fake smile, looking at this outstanding player with both good looks and strength, high performance and commercial value, but he couldn't help but complain in his heart: "Li Ang, you are a real dog!"
Early this morning, the league office notified the Suns of a piece of news in advance - Li Ang became the regular season MVP of the 2003-04 season with a 75% first choice rate!
Facts have proved that, at least this year, most reporters are relatively conscientious.
The first choice rate of 75% is really not low. You know, when the idiot in San Antonio won the MVP last season, the first choice rate was only 50%. In other words, only half of the people thought Duncan was the MVP.
Why do only half of the people think Duncan is the MVP and he can also win the award?
Because there are not two contenders for MVP, but a dozen.
Duncan took half of the votes alone, and the other half was divided among a dozen people.
Therefore, even if there is only a 50% first choice rate, it is enough to become an MVP.
And Li Ang’s 75% is well deserved.
Garnett's first choice rate is only 14.5%, and Deng Shu's first choice rate is only 5%.
Then someone may ask, based on this calculation, haven't the three of them, Leon, Garnett and Duncan, basically divided the votes?
That’s right, it’s all divided.
Because other people’s first choice rates are mostly in single digits.
For example, Chairman Yao, who ranks fourth in the MVP rankings this year, has a first-choice rate of only 4%, and Peja, who ranks fifth, has a first-choice rate of only 0.8%.
Most of them are 0%, and they don’t get a single vote.
As we all know, the 75% first choice rate is simply a dimensionality reduction blow.
Li Ang's crushing 68 wins really forced many people to choose to vote for him.
Some of them may not like Li Ang, but there is no way, he has won too much!
After receiving the call, Li Ang was overjoyed at first. He went from being an inferior player in the NJCAA to becoming the most valuable player in the NBA. It felt like he had cheated!
Uh, okay, not like that.
Along the way, Li Ang did not know how much sweat he had put in and how many opponents he had defeated.
How many wools have been harvested, how many fruit plates have been eaten, how many girlfriends have been changed, how many people have been beaten, how many times have snakes been breastfed...
This is simply a history of blood and tears for Li Ang!
Li Ang’s opponent: It’s our history of blood and tears!
After the excitement, Leon received another call from Stern himself.
Stern first congratulated Li Ang, and then asked Li Ang if he wanted to receive the award at a press conference or on the spot before the game started.
After all, Stern was going to present the award to Li Ang in person, and it would be easier to arrange it if he asked Stern clearly.
In fact, this kind of inquiry is just polite. It's like two acquaintances meeting on the street and casually asking "Have you eaten?"
Even if you haven’t eaten, you still have to say you have, otherwise you still want people to treat you?
But Li Ang did this today, and he really wanted Stern to invite him.
Under normal circumstances, if the game on the day of awarding is at home, then the awards will be given on-site before the game starts.
If the game is away from home, then just pull up your pants for a few minutes at the press conference and get over it.
Not only that you won't get cheers when receiving the award in an away game, but you may also anger your opponents because of it.
Awards generally follow this unspoken rule, and asking questions is just a formality to show Stern's respect.
However, Li Ang, who did not take the usual path, said: "Then let's award the award on the spot."
Stern was confused at the time: "Uh... if I remember correctly, you played today's game at the Target Center, right?"
"Yeah, that's right."
"Then you're going to present the award on the spot?"
"Right? Is there any problem?"
Stern didn't even know how to deal with it at that time. Damn it, Li Ang, you don't do anything that other people do!
With Li Ang's repeated insistence, Stern held a live award ceremony at the Target Center for the Target Center's biggest enemy.
This is blatant showing off and blatant hatred.
Every time Stern spoke, he was greeted with boos from the fans.
In this atmosphere, with so many people watching, Li Ang, how can you still carry on?
Amid a burst of boos, Stern handed the MVP trophy to Li Ang.
The boos in the Target Center reached their peak at this time, almost toppling the roof of the arena.
For a time, Fa Keliang's voice was continuous, reaching from Los Angeles to Minneapolis.
Stern is no longer pulling his socks off now, he is so embarrassed that he has to rent out a three-bedroom apartment.
But Li Ang still held up the MVP trophy with a shameless smile.
After finishing, he said: "Thank you, thank you for your applause!"
Stern was convinced. He had never seen such a shameless person.
No one applauds you at all!
Li Ang did it on purpose. Before, so many people said that Li Ang could not become MVP.
Today, he was going to hold the MVP trophy with his own hands in front of their eyes!
Let’s see if it’s possible!
The scene of Li Ang lifting the MVP trophy at the Target Center also became a historic moment.
Because this is the first time in NBA history that an Asian player can win the MVP trophy.
In the CCTV studio, Director Zhang was stunned.
The NBA was broadcast live in China for the first time, and now the first Chinese MVP has appeared.
It's only been a few years. When Li Ang entered the NBA, no one dared to imagine what he has achieved now.
At that time, everyone felt that it was amazing for the Chinese to gain a foothold in the NBA.
MVP? I want to eat shit.
But Li Ang changed this situation.
Under the boos of the fans, Garnett also stared at Li Ang in the dark.
He admitted that he was very jealous now.
If there is no Li Ang, then this year's MVP will most likely be him.
He suspected that Li Ang deliberately accepted the award at the scene to provoke him.
Li Ang: Brother Wolf, you really shouldn’t doubt me on this matter.
Garnett was very willing to ruin Ang's otherwise wonderful MVP night.
In fact, this is what Li Ang wants.
He hopes to defeat his biggest competitor with his own hands on his MVP night.
Leave everyone speechless!
After the MVP award ceremony, the Timberwolves win or go home, wolf or dog game officially begins.
Sprewell, the king of draws in the first two games, hit a three-pointer as soon as he started today.
It seems that he was saving up his character in the first two games, just waiting for the life and death battle to break out.
Then, Cassel broke through Nash and succeeded in a mid-range drift shot.
Cassel's floating shot was not only aesthetically pleasing, it could also be said to be very ugly.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with his movements. After all, the league has caught a lot of performance artists with weird shooting postures.
To say that his shooting is ugly is mainly because his face lowers his average level.
With that face on his face, he looks like a dancing master no matter what he does.
After all, it was a life and death battle, so although the Timberwolves were very tired, they still played very hard.
The Suns have always had the advantage, but the advantage is not too big, only five or six points.
The game continued until the fourth quarter. Garnett picked up the ball in the mid-range and prepared to single out Stoudemire. Li Ang immediately flanked him to prevent him from turning over easily.
Garnett had quick eyes and hands, and handed the ball to Szczerbiak the moment Li Ang came up from the flank.
The latter fired directly from the bottom corner and hit a three-pointer, narrowing the point difference to 3 points!
The atmosphere in the Target Center immediately heated up, and it seemed that Li Ang's MVP night was about to overturn.
Li Ang was not upset, because he had actually rushed back immediately to interfere with Szczerbiak.
It's just that he still made the shot despite the defense.
To be continued...
