Chapter 427 The white horse spear finally won the MVP!
The much-anticipated mvp awards were announced first:
"The 2010-11 regular season MVP is announced!"
"The MVP is from the Houston Rockets - Tracy McGrady!"
"This season, McGrady played in 75 games, averaging 28.1 points, 5.1 assists, and 4.5 rebounds per game, leading the Rockets to a record-breaking 73 wins and 9 losses. This is also the first time in his career that he has won this honor!"
At the bottom of this tweet, NBA officials also included a photo of McGrady dunking.
In the photo, T-MAC wearing Rocket 1 has a slender figure and an elegant figure.
As the saying goes, the white horse and the spear floated like poetry, and were invincible when I was young!
This photo vividly reflects Maddie’s richness and handsomeness.
Then, the league sent another tweet, announcing the 2 and 3 MVP rankings.
"Number two is Derrick Rose from the Chicago Bulls."
"This season Rose averaged: 25.0 points, 7.7 assists, 4.1 rebounds, shooting 44.5% from the field, and 33.2% from the three-point range. He led the team to a record of 62 wins and 20 losses in the regular season."
"Third place is LeBron James from the Miami Heat."
"This season James averaged: 26.7 points, 7.0 assists, 7.5 rebounds, 51.0% field goal percentage, 33.0% three-point shooting percentage, and led the team to a record of 65 wins and 17 losses in the regular season."
............
As soon as the MVP award was announced, it immediately triggered a lot of discussion.
Among them, the most excited ones are undoubtedly Tracy McGrady’s fans.
Some old fans who have been fans of McGrady since the days of the Magic and even the Raptors all felt "complete" at this moment.
"I have stood with you at the top of the league, and I have also witnessed you fall into the dust. Tracy McGrady has risen from the ashes and returned to the top! You deserve this MVP!"
"There is no doubt that Derrick Rose also played a perfect season, but Tracy McGrady is the more dazzling one this season. The rose is blooming, the future is yours! Congratulations to t-mac for realizing your dream, the next step is to fight for the championship.
!”
"A year ago, if someone had told me that Tracy McGrady would be the MVP next season, I would have thought that person was a lunatic. But the real world is so wonderful, and the NBA is indeed a place where miracles happen! Congratulations to Tracy McGrady, and thank you Shen Fei
and his Rockets, giving McGrady a chance to prove himself again!"
...
McGrady fans, every word you say to me expresses the joy in your heart.
But some people are happy, and some people are worried.
The most angry person after learning that Tracy McGrady won the MVP was naturally the Nike team.
The group's big boss, Phil Knight, was so furious that he smashed a cup in his hand to pieces on the spot.
Then, he immediately took out his cell phone and called David Stern.
The strange thing was that no matter how Phil Knight called, no one answered the phone.
"What is this old guy doing?"
Phil Knight couldn't hold back his anger and spoke through gritted teeth.
Tracy McGrady and Rose are both players owned by Adidas, while James, one of Nike's aces, only got a third place...
This is something Phil Knight finds difficult to accept no matter what.
"Lance, you use my cell phone to call Stern and keep calling until he answers the phone!"
Phil Knight said to the assistant beside him.
While his assistant kept making calls, he continued to read the messages on Twitter.
Soon, a familiar name appeared in front of Phil Knight...David Stern!
When Phil Knight was frantically looking for him, he actually had time to tweet!
"Congratulations @t-mac, this is the [thumbs up] you deserve #PerfectSeason##1号legend#"
Stern wrote.
"!!!"
Phil Knight's pupils were shocked after watching it.
"How can this not make sense? How can it not make sense!"
While muttering to himself, he snatched the mobile phone from his assistant.
But from beginning to end, there were only beeps on the phone.
"Inform Durst and bring Stern's 'material' to me!"
Phil Knight said to his assistant.
"OK."
The assistant nodded quickly, turned around and went to find Durst.
Five minutes later, he hurried back again.
"Sorry boss, Durst has already emptied his office. This was found on his desk."
The assistant said and handed a piece of paper to Phil Knight.
The latter took it and saw that it was a resignation letter!
"Dear Phil, time flies and in the blink of an eye I have been working at Nike for 12 years."
"Over the years, I have been working diligently to complete the various tasks you have assigned me."
"But recently, I can feel that the group no longer trusts me. At the same time, my contract with Nike is about to expire. Since our fate is over, it is better to get together and part ways. Durst hereby submits his resignation to you."
"I wish you good health and Nike prosperity."
"Dest."
Let’s look at the date of payment, April 30, 2011, which is yesterday.
Phil Knight was not surprised by Dest's departure.
The group had already decided not to renew its contract.
So yesterday was Durst’s last day at Nike.
But he left in a hurry at this juncture without saying hello to any colleagues, which gave Phil Knight a hint of danger.
He immediately walked quickly to the desk and squatted down.
There is a safe under the table.
Phil Knight quickly entered the password and opened the cabinet door...
There are stacks of thick paper documents inside. These are various "important" materials retained by Nike in its operations before the popularity of electronic equipment.
Phil Knight immediately began looking for Stern's dirty data.
He searched for a long time, sweat broke out on his forehead, but he still couldn't find it.
"fxxk!"
Phil Knight said something quintessentially Chinese, closed the safe, and gave up the search.
Durst left without saying goodbye, Stern turned against his previous promise, and relevant materials disappeared...
There are very few coincidences in the world. This series of events led Phil Knight to conclude... those materials must have been taken away by Durst!
"Okay, okay, let's work together to trick me..."
Phil Knight murmured to himself.
But in fact, at this stage, he didn't think of any countermeasures.
Stern's dirty stuff is inherently shameful.
Even if the items were stolen illegally by Durst, Nike would not be able to call the police.
This is like the stolen money from one group of robbers being seized by another group of robbers.
They can only eat this bitter pill silently, after all, this is a crime of black and white.
"But...who planned all this?"
Phil Knight was confused.
As he was thinking about it, a name suddenly appeared in his mind...
[It can’t be... Shen Fei, right?]
Thinking of this, Phil Knight suddenly felt a chill in his back.
A young man in his early twenties was actually able to sneak into Chencang under his nose...
Phil Knight suddenly felt that Under Armor would soon surpass Adidas in terms of danger and become the biggest challenger to Nike's "hegemony"!
Of course, this is just his preliminary guess.
"You go find some private detectives tomorrow and investigate where Durst has gone."
Phil Knight said to his assistant.
If Durst really defected to Under Armor, then Nike will definitely give Shen Fei some "gifts" in response in the future.
"We have recorded this account for now, Shen Fei."
Phil Knight murmured to himself, a hint of fierceness flashed between his eyebrows.
............
While Phil Knight was frowning, NBA officials continued to announce the award selection results.
"Now announce the best defensive player for the 2010-11 season!"
"The winner with the most votes is...Dwight Howard from the Miami Heat!"
.......
"Now announce the best rookie for the 2010-11 season!"
"The winner with the most votes is... Paul George from the Houston Rockets!"
...
"Now announce the Most Improved Player for the 2010-11 season!"
"The winner with the most votes is...Stephen Curry from the Houston Rockets!"
...
Three awards were announced in a row, one for the Heat and two for the Rockets.
Counting the previous MVPs, the two favorites actually shared all the individual awards!
One netizen commented: "In the next few years, the world will probably be dominated by the Heat and Rockets. The Heat have been widely optimistic since the establishment of the Big Three in the summer, but the sudden rise of the Rockets is really surprising!"
Well-known ESPN commentator A-Smith tweeted:
"Stephen Curry will become a strong contender for MVP next season! He is so agile and his playing style is too advanced."
"For a long time, there has been a popular saying in the NBA - shooting cannot help you win the championship, and three-pointers cannot determine the outcome of a game."
"But after Curry appeared, I think this sentence may become the dust of history. I don't know other people's shots, but Curry's shots can help the team win one victory after another!"
At the same time, some fans also discussed the strength and weakness of the Heat and Rockets regarding Howard's winning of DPOY.
Retired star Gary Payton also joined in the fun and tweeted the following:
"Howard and James ranked first and third in this year's dpoy selection. Wade also got a good result of seventh. Coupled with Chalmers and Ray Allen, two defenders who are on the defensive line, the Heat The defense line can be said to be armed to the teeth.
In contrast, all of the Rockets' starters have strong offensive talents. Even George, who is more 3D in the team, can easily score 15 points when given the football rights. The Rockets are called the sharpest spear. , not too much, right?
So, in this shield-and-spear battle between the Heat and Rockets, who can win?"
This tweet quickly attracted a lot of attention.
Fans expressed their opinions, and various ideas quickly emerged in the comment area.
Among them, one fan's reply received a lot of likes. He said:
"Let's first list and compare the starting lineups of the two teams: Curry vs. Chalmers, McGrady vs. Ray Allen, Paul George vs. Wade, Griffin vs. James, and Yao Ming vs. Howard."
"But looking at these five matchups, I believe everyone feels the same as me. They will feel that the two teams are evenly matched, and the Heat are even better in terms of talent."
"But let's list the substitutes of both sides. The Rockets have: Roy, Oden, Ben Wallace, Lowry, Danny Green, Tucker, and the Chinese duo who have performed well recently——
Yi Jianlian and Jeremy Lin.”
"Looking at the Heat, they have...who do they have? I only remember James Jones, LeBron's 'blade guard'. What can the Heat do to compete with the Rockets? They can't let the five main players play all the time.
Right?"
This long reply represents the thoughts of many fans, so it has become the comment with the highest number of points.
Some fans added: "Although the Rockets' starting lineup is not as physically talented as the Heat, but in a real fight, we don't know who will win and who will lose! If Curry and McGrady are both good at it, the Heat's starting lineup will probably be the same."
Can’t live.”
But some fans retorted: "Both James and Wade are players who can create miracles on their own. In a confrontation between the two armies, the winner can be determined based on paper strength alone, otherwise there will be no need to play in the playoffs, Obu
Just send the Ryan Cup directly to Houston."
All in all, fans have different opinions on who is stronger or weaker, the Rockets or the Heat. Of course, the majority of fans prefer the Rockets to be stronger.
............
Time flies by and it’s game day again in a blink of an eye.
The first game to start is the Eastern Conference - the game between the Heat and the Celtics.
Before the start of the season, it was generally believed that between these two teams, a team would enter the finals.
Moreover, more people prefer that the Celtics, who have taken longer to form the Big Three and have more experience, will break out of the siege.
After all, few teams can perform at their full level in the first season.
But the development of things is always unexpected.
Today, only Pierce is left among the Celtics' Big Three.
Garnett suffered a season-ending injury, and Ray Allen even fell into the arms of his mortal enemy, the Heat.
Today is the first time Ray Allen faces his old club after being traded.
It is worth mentioning that the Rockets generals were also in front of the TV at this time, continuing to inspect potential opponents.
.............
The game is about to start, and the starting players from both sides gradually walk to the center circle, waiting for the kick-off.
Ray Allen took the initiative to walk to the Celtics half court, wanting to say hello to his old teammates.
He went to Rajon Rondo first.
This young point guard has become one of the leaders of the Celtics after Ray Allen left.
But when he saw Big Brother, he turned his head to the other side without giving Ray Allen any face.
Junzi Lei touched his nose in embarrassment and turned to Pierce.
Zhenshi's attitude was slightly better, but he did not give his old teammates a hug, but simply gave Ray Allen a high-five.
But the big baby, Glen Davis, greeted Ray Allen very warmly and gave the latter a big hug.
This also eased Ray Allen's embarrassment a little.
In this atmosphere, the competition officially begins!
