The invincible kryptonite of basketball

After the best dunk, followed by the announcement of the best rookie.

As the only rookie who averaged over 20 per game, Mitchell was also elected the best rookie without any suspense.

After best rookie, best blocks and best possessions follow.

The rules of this year's awards ceremony can be said to be easy to find, one important award comes with two interesting awards.

It is neither serious nor interesting.

Fans and the media felt pretty good about Tatum's first performance after returning to the league.

The first few awards have been awarded one after another, and the rest are some heavyweight ones.

Soon to be announced is the best general manager of the season.

All three candidates for this award have every reason to be elected.

Nelson Jr.'s operations during the offseason were very eye-catching. He sent away the unstable Butler in the team and traded Holiday and Jokic.

A deal that was not very good at first proved to be quite successful in the end.

The Mavericks finally beat the Warriors and Rockets in the regular season to rank second in the Western Conference.

This final record alone is enough to make Nelson Jr. a candidate.

Jon Horst's performance is even more eye-catching.

He brought the Big Three to the Bucks in the offseason, and got Horford on the trade deadline to form a four-star lineup.

Although the Bucks only ranked third in the East in the end, they finally played the tiebreaker with the Cavaliers in the playoffs.

As a new lineup, this result is already quite impressive.

This may also be one of the benefits of putting the award ceremony after the end of the season. The data that the judges can refer to is more comprehensive.

Of course, the brightest and most controversial of the three is Dempsey.

Form the four brothers who trained hard and won 80 wins. At any time, the general manager of this team can easily win the best general manager.

But the point of controversy also lies in the hard training of the four brothers.

It is no exaggeration to say that Walker and Butler came to the Pelicans because of Tang Tian, ​​and it has little to do with Demps.

So all three have their own reasons, and this award is also quite suspenseful.

"It's a general manager from the West that gets this award."

After Barkley opened the envelope, he deliberately left suspense, which caused a commotion in the scene and whetted the appetite of the audience.

The on-site photographer also gave Dempsey and Nelson Jr. shots.

Both of them straightened their backs unconsciously.

For the general manager, this award is undoubtedly the most convincing thing about ability.

"He's Nelson Jr. ... or Dempsey."

Barkley's suspense again drew boos from the audience.

Kenny Smith couldn't stand his partner either, so he grabbed the envelope and announced the final result.

"Dell Demps won the NBA's best general manager in the 2017~2018 season!"

Dempsey's name was read out, and the live footage was shown to him as soon as possible.

He stood up with a big smile on his face. This is the second time in his career that he was elected the best general manager.

Although Walker and Butler came because of Tang Tian, ​​the series of operations to free up salary space are very eye-catching.

In particular, being able to send Boban's contract can be called the best deal of the offseason.

So this award is well deserved for him.

After taking the stage, Demps delivered his acceptance speech.

According to the statistics of the bored reporters at the scene, his acceptance speech was 200 words in length, and Tang Tian was mentioned 10 times.

This statistic is enough to explain everything. Dempsey almost kneels and licks Tang Tian.

This is completely normal, he was almost unemployed before Tang Tian came, and after Tang Tian came, he won the best general manager award twice.

It is no exaggeration to say that his life was completely changed because of Tang Tian.

Not to mention the deal to form the four hard training brothers, it was all Tang Tian's idea in private.

Because it was too exaggerated, when Dempsey stepped down, he was looked down upon by many colleagues.

Dempsey didn't care, on the contrary, he was very disdainful to them. They didn't even have the chance to kneel and lick like him.

After the best general manager, the following two awards are very interesting.

One was the Best Dressed award, which went to Westbrook.

The reason for the award is naturally his eclectic and fashion-forward dressing style.

When he came on stage, he was wearing a pink plaid suit with suspenders underneath, which caused whistles from the audience.

I have to say that Westbrook is really the leader in terms of dressing.

Best Dressed is followed by the Sportsman of the Year Award.

The award was presented to Damian Lillard of the Trail Blazers.

Lillard is the only quasi-superstar in the league with one man and one city. He led the Blazers and became the only team to beat the Pelicans this season.

And in the playoffs, his performance went a step further, not only leading the team to eliminate the championship-winning Rockets, but also forcing the Pelicans into overtime.

It can be said that he won this award without controversy.

After these two awards, there is another important award, and it can be said that it is the most important award so far.

Best Defensive Player.

One thing that is very interesting is that two of the three candidates are from the Pelicans.

If it is really given to the Pelicans in the end, then the Pelicans will really take care of the awards ceremony tonight.

A comparison of the defensive stats of the three candidates.

Gobert: 10.7 rebounds, 2.3 blocks, 0.8 steals.

Butler: 5.6 rebounds, 2.5 steals and 1.5 blocks.

Tang Tian: 7.3 rebounds, 2.1 steals and 1.3 blocks.

In terms of statistics, Butler is undoubtedly the most eye-catching.

He played more of a defensive role next to Tang Tian this season, and the statistics perfectly reflected this.

However, as in previous years, it was still Tang Tian who felt the deepest among the opposing players.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Tang Tian, ​​who has four consecutive dpoys, basically no one can get past Tang Tian's defense except for the misplaced inside.

"The best defensive player in the 2017~2018 season is..."

Barkley's words once again whetted the audience's appetite.

"An unexpected result."

And his next sentence was also worthy of a beating, and he was greeted by bursts of boos from the scene.

"Jimmy Butler."

But this time Barkley was telling the truth.

The end result is indeed somewhat surprising.

Even Butler didn't expect it, and he didn't stand up until Walker next to him pushed him.

He took the stage to the applause and cheers of the audience.

Tang Tian also smiled and applauded him.

Butler has made a lot of personal sacrifices this season, and this award is the best reward for him.

"I really didn't expect to win this award. I thought... I'm sorry, Don, I ended your quadruple."

Butler was honest, but his words drew cheers from the crowd.

Most of the people who came to participate were players. It would be exciting enough for someone to end Tang Tian's rule, even if it was only for one season.

Tang Tian shook his head with a smile, and stretched out his hand to indicate that it was okay.

It would be a little uncomfortable for others to end him, but for Butler, he was too happy.

And even if it takes [-] steps back, this award will still belong to the Pelicans in the end, and the fat water will not flow to outsiders.

The first thousand and 170 eight chapters and three consecutive MVPs! (build)

"I would like to thank all the judges, it is a great honor that you have presented me with this award.

But I want to say that Tang will always be the winner of this award in my heart, and he is the role model I will always pursue. "

Butler's speech showed Tang Tian's demeanor.

But he was telling the truth.

Not only were the two of them fighting on the field before, but he often played one-on-one with Tang Tian after he got to the Pelicans, and both offense and defense were blown out.

But the fans in the audience didn't know that the scene was already full of cheers and applause after Butler said this.

Super giants of Butler's level are all Tang Tian's fans, and Tang Tian's strength is needless to say.

After the best defensive player, the annual SEG Strong Award and the Best Teammate Award were successively selected.

The annual Seg Strong Award commemorates the recent death of famous NBA reporter Craig Seg, who just passed away after a 3-year battle with leukemia.

The winner was former Pelicans head coach Monty Williams.

The car accident two years ago caused his wife to die, but he still persevered and has now returned to the NBA as an assistant coach for the 76ers.

He came on stage in a colorful floral shirt that was Sager's favorite during his lifetime.

He thanked many people, but the most is his wife.

"Her leaving has made me stronger. I know my children need me. I am no longer just a father, but a mother."

Williams' words moved the audience even more.

Tang Tian also gave his former head coach a standing ovation. Although this award is not a grand prize, it is of great significance.

The competition for the remaining best teammate awards is also fierce, and the fierce point is concentrated between Tang Tian and James.

In the end, Tang Tian beat James to win the award.

Not only the old Pelicans players but also teammates, even opponents like Westbrook and Curry praised Tang Tian very much.

Not to mention that after this season, all the players wanted to be teammates with Tang Tian.

James' expression in the audience was a little calm at this time.

From the beginning of the awards to the present, he has only won a weightless best round of the year award.

This result is really a bit shabby.

But who knows there is Tang Tian, ​​if there is no Tang Tian, ​​many awards belong to him.

He bit his finger and looked around, and began to present the award a little carelessly.

Speaking of which, after the Cavaliers failed to win the championship this season, he thought about leaving the Cavaliers.

This kind of encounter now made him firmer in this idea.

At this time, he found that there was another person who had similar emotions to him.

Durant.

Durant is worse than him, and he hasn't won a single award so far.

When the two people looked at each other, they really felt a little sympathetic to each other.

Tang Tian delivered his 30-second acceptance speech and kept running up the stage. He was really at a loss for words.
