Reborn NBA's Strongest Talent

Chapter 109 109. Everyone Owes You Respect (Please Subscribe)
The last and biggest award of the year is the Season Most Valuable Player (MVP).

The final nominees are Russell Westbrook, James Harden and Kawhi Leonard.

James regretted losing the election in the end. Of course, this also has a lot to do with James' paddling in the regular season.

Before the start of the awards show, some media interviewed James and asked him how he felt that he was not nominated in the end. James said: "My job is just to try to be the MVP of the team every night. I will try to put my teammates and the team in a successful position, and eventually compete for the championship."

"For me, I know what I can do, and the league knows what I can do. It's your reporter's business how to write the story, and I don't really care about that."

Although James' words can be understood as a bit sour, it is still a very generous answer.

There is only one MVP every year, and there is only one championship. Of course, it is the best to win the MVP and win the championship at the same time. However, such an example has only appeared 75 times in the 23-year history, and only 14 players have won this honor.

Among them was James himself.

What's more important is that compared with the championship, the MVP pays more attention to the individual, and the championship can only be the core rather than the individual.

Alliance president Adam Silver came to the stage and delivered an impassioned speech, but Richard didn't listen to a single word, and the teammates around him were the same, everyone was looking forward to the final moment of announcement.

Kanter even complained directly, "What are you talking about so much, hurry up and announce the results."

He rubbed his hands and feet while talking, looking extremely irritable.

Even Richard, who knew the result, became nervous at this time.

In some years of the MVP competition, one person can dominate the league by one person, while in other years, a hundred flowers bloom together, and each has its own strengths.

This year is a suffocating competition for everyone. From the data point of view, except for Leonard who is slightly behind, Westbrook and Harden are almost neck and neck. Westbrook is the scoring leader with less than 2 points more than Harden.

In terms of records, both of them led the team to the top four in the Western Conference, and the wins were almost the same.

Both are data madmen, and both scored 50+ triple-doubles during the season.

There is only one point that Westbrook has the upper hand, that is, Westbrook has won a total of 42 triple-doubles, breaking "Big O" Robertson's record of 41 triple-doubles in a single season, and averaged a triple-double to become the second person in history.

According to the news received before the awards show, Westbrook has a slight advantage and temporarily leads, but the remaining votes can still change the final result, and there is still suspense about the award.

Finally, Xiao Hua finished his long-winded words and came to the commercial time, no, it was the highlight time.

On the big screen, the various dunks, gorgeous dribbles and passionate moments of the three nominees once again ignited everyone's enthusiasm.

Finally, Xiao Hua said the long-awaited words on the stage, "The most valuable player in the 2016-17 season is—Russell Westbrook."

There was thunderous applause and cheers everywhere!

Westbrook's phenomenal game has conquered countless people, and has also attracted controversy from even more people.

Westbrook stood up excitedly, and first kissed Nina who was sitting next to her. Nina looked at her husband's eyes full of light.

Then Westbrook hugged his mother on the other side.

All the people attending the party stood up and applauded for the MVP.

Harden looked dull and disappointed.

But it was his brother who won the MVP, and Harden still gave his blessing and applause.

Westbrook came to the stage with brisk steps, shook hands with Xiao Hua and bumped his chest, and took the MVP trophy from Xiao Hua.

When he came to the microphone, Westbrook was also a little nervous. He took out a long note from his pocket and said, "Thank you, I can't hold this speech. I have too much to say."

After changing hands, the trophy was handed over to Xiao Hua. As a result, our NBA president became Mr. Manners and helped Westbrook stand aside with the trophy.

This bald Mr. Manners is not good looking.

With a note in hand and a smile on his face, Westbrook began his speech, "First of all, I want to thank God, without whom I could not have received this honor."

Westbrook first thanked the coaches, assistants, management, team doctors, photography team, chefs and all the staff of the Oklahoma team.

Then Westbrook thanked his teammates and invited them to stand on the stage. Kanter, Robertson, Oladipo, Collison, Richard, and Gibson lined up on the stage, and Westbrook clapped their hands one by one to celebrate, and then stood behind Westbrook.

"These are my brothers, they sacrificed so much for me throughout the season, even though not all of them were there at this time."

The applause at the scene lasted for a long time. In the eyes of men, he is a man who values ​​love and righteousness.

"This season is too crazy. Without my teammates, I can't do this. This award is not just mine. Thank you very much for your support." Westbrook turned around and expressed his affection to his teammates. Richard gave Westbrook a thumbs up.

"I love you!" Westbrook turned to face the audience again, "Thanks to the NBA, and... I never thought I would say this sentence, thanks to the media, thank you for voting for me."

Thinking that Westbrook is usually the most difficult to interview, his "next question" has become a hot topic and circulated among various media, and Westbrook never believed that the media would like him.

This sentence also caused a lot of laughter.

Westbrook thanked fans all over the world, especially those in Oklahoma.

After thanking these, Westbrook put the note in his hand back into his pocket, but his hand couldn't put it in, so he had to pass the note to the back and hand it to Richard.

Finally, Westbrook would like to thank his family.

"First of all, I would like to thank my parents. They made sure to give me and my brother what we wanted to have..." Breaking away from the manuscript, Westbrook relied on his own performance. He was emotional and burst into tears.

Westbrook took off his glasses and gently wiped his eyes with the other hand, "I promise not to cry, but..."

Although he immediately covered himself with laughter, Westbrook's emotions had spread out and infected his mother, who also sat in the audience and shed tears.

The mother and son choked up at the same time, and the audience gave comforting applause.

"Thanks can't express my gratitude at all. Dad, you support the whole family with your body, work to earn money, and supervise me to train. Mom, you use your spirit to unite our family. I am very lucky to have you as parents. Without you, I can't do it." Speaking of this, Westbrook choked up again.

"I love you!"

There was thunderous applause.

"I want to pay tribute to my younger brother. You are my role model in life. I admire you very much." Westbrook's younger brother is a schoolmaster. He encourages Westbrook in a magical way and is Westbrook's spiritual mentor.

"I'm proud of him, not because he just got a master's degree, but because he helps me every day, encourages me. He texts me at halftime of every game, every game, since I entered the NBA."

"He didn't have to do it, but he did it anyway because he's a good guy and he respects me. Brother, I love you! I'm grateful for everything you've done for me." Westbrook was already in tears.

Once again the audience burst into applause.

"Finally, my beautiful wife. Since the first day we met at UCLA in 2007, I knew you were special, you were my most special." Nina and Westbrook were college classmates and were members of the UCLA women's basketball team. "You push me forward, you look after me and make sure I'm on the right track."

"I am very grateful to you! Because you have sacrificed so much for me, every day, just saying thank you is not enough to express my gratitude." Nina blinked constantly when she heard this, tears gradually filled.

"As a player's wife, you have sacrificed too much. I can't express all your actions in words. I can't express how lucky I am to have you. You also gave birth to a handsome son for me. I am so grateful to you!" Speaking of her son, Nina's face was full of maternal brilliance, and she looked even more beautiful and radiant.

"You have been pushing me forward, no matter how I perform in the game, as long as I come home, your smile can heal my inner troubles! I just want to say, I love you! Thank you for everything you have done for me, you are my perfection, I love you very, very much!"

Nina had a loving smile on her face, and the audience cheered and applauded Westbrook's affectionate confession.

"Here, I would like to thank all the people who came here, those who watched the award ceremony at home, and those who helped me along the way, thank you! May you have a beautiful night, thank you again!" Westbrook raised his hands and waved his eyes.

Turn around again and hug your teammates one by one.

Receiving the trophy from Xiao Hua, he walked off the stage, returned to his seat, and kissed Nina again.

Iron man also has a tender side. Westbrook vented his inner emotions at the awards show and in his acceptance speech for winning the MVP.

Westbrook's hard work and enthusiasm, as well as his own dedication, won the honor and pride, but at this time, he didn't care about himself at all, but attributed his achievements to all the people around him.

How is such a person not worthy of respect, and those who slander others for swiping data regardless of whether they are malicious or not, do they owe Westbrook an apology and respect?
