Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

The awards were announced one after another afterwards.

获得最佳新秀的球员是雄鹿队的马尔科姆-布罗格登，在16年第36顺位被雄鹿队选中的他在这个赛季打出了场均10.2分,2.8个篮板，4.2次助攻的数据，成为NBA历史上第1个以二轮秀身份获得该奖项的球员。

The winner of the Most Improved Player Award was Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Bucks, who averaged 16.9 points, 7.7 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game last season.

This season, with almost the same playing time, his statistics have improved across the board, averaging 22.9 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 5.4 assists per game. He was selected to the All-Star team and led the Bucks to the playoffs.

It was no surprise that he won this award.

In fact, Zhuang Yu has had the potential to win the Most Improved Player Award in the past two years because he has been improving in the past two seasons.

But maybe it was because he was too outstanding. Not only was he selected to the All-Star team and the best team, he also won the Defensive Player of the Year Award, so he was never given the Most Improved Player Award.

Although Zhuang Yu did not win the regular season MVP or the Most Improved Player Award, his name was the next winner of the award.

2016-17 Regular Season Best Defensive Player Award - Zhuang Yu.

A year later, Zhuang Yu won the Best Defensive Player Award again. It is very rare to win the Best Defensive Player Award twice in three years.

But the most amazing thing is not this, but that Zhuang Yu was also the season's scoring leader while winning the Best Defensive Player Award.

You know it's hard to balance defense and scoring.

When a player is fully focused on scoring, it is difficult for him to take care of defense. When he is fully focused on defense, he is often not so outstanding on the offensive end.

Throughout the history of the NBA, there are only two people who have won both the scoring title and the best defensive player award - one is David Robinson and the other is Michael Jordan.

David Robinson won the Defensive Player of the Year award in the 91-92 season and later won the scoring title in the 93-94 season.

However, his scoring title has always been criticized and considered to be a fake one.

It's not that he brushed a whole season, to be precise, he brushed a game.

In that season, Robinson and O'Neal ranked first and second in the scoring list, with O'Neal leading by a slight advantage. As a result, Robinson started scoring in the last regular season game, taking 41 shots and scoring 71 points. He eventually surpassed O'Neal's 29.8 points per game with an average of 29.3 points, becoming the scoring leader of the season.

In the last regular season game, when the team's record and ranking had already been determined, he took 41 crazy shots, intending to score points.

As a result, Robinson successfully won the scoring title, and O'Neal was depressed.

The Big Shark was probably so angry at that time. If I had known that you would score in the last game of the regular season, I should have done it too. If you can score 71 points, so can I.

Although David Robinson won the scoring title and the best defensive player, it was not in the same season.

Michael Jordan won both honors in the same season.

To be precise, it is not just these two items.

In the 87-88 season, Jordan won many awards including the regular season MVP, All-Star Game MVP, scoring champion, steals champion, best defensive player and so on. Unfortunately, the Bulls lost to the Pistons in the second round of the playoffs and missed the championship.

He is also the first player in NBA history to win the scoring title and the Defensive Player of the Year award in the same season.

And now, Zhuang Yu is the second one.

In the entire history of the NBA, there are only three people who have won both the Scoring Title and the Best Defensive Player Award. And only Jordan and Zhuang Yu have won these two awards in the same season.

This shows how difficult it is.

"Congratulations, brother."

"Congratulations."

Lopez and Clarkson stood up together, hugged Zhuang Yu and congratulated him.

Some players who were familiar with Zhuang Yu also came up to congratulate him.

Zhuang Yu walked onto the stage, received his trophy and gave a speech.

......

Then came the Best Sixth Man Award.

The winner was Eric Gordon of the Rockets, who averaged 16.2 points per game this season, ranking second on the Rockets. He made a total of 246 three-pointers in the season, ranking fifth in the league. He ultimately beat Clarkson and Iguodala to win the Best Sixth Man award.

Next is the Best Coach Award.

The winner of the Coach of the Year Award was Rockets head coach Mike D'Antoni.

After Howard left this season, he asked Harden to play point guard. While unleashing Harden's organizational talent, it also freed up the offensive firepower of other long-range shooters in the team, turning the Rockets into a three-point team.

They scored a total of 1181 goals this season, setting a new NBA historical record.

Under the leadership of Coach D'Antoni, the Rockets, who failed to make the playoffs last season, finished fourth in the Western Conference this season.

In addition, the best team of the season, the best defensive team, and the best rookie team were announced at the awards ceremony.

The players selected for the All-NBA First Team are Russell Westbrook, Zhuang Yu, Kawhi Leonard, LeBron James, and Anthony Davis.

Selected to the All-NBA Second Team are Stephen Curry, James Harden, Kevin Durant, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Rudy Gobert.

Selected to the All-NBA Third Team were Isaiah Thomas, DeMar DeRozan, Jimmy Butler, Draymond Green and Brook Lopez.

It was no surprise that Zhuang Yu was selected for the first team, but what was surprising was that Lopez was selected for the third team of the best team.

He not only returned to the All-Star team this season, but even though he was selected to the All-Star team in the 12-13 season, he had never been selected to the All-NBA team, and was only selected to the All-Rookie First Team in the 08-09 season.

This made Lopez's eyes red with excitement.

He kept pulling Zhuang Yu and Clarkson, thanking his teammates, the coach, the team, his family, and God. He thanked everyone he could.

Next up is the best defensive lineup.

The All-Defensive First Team includes Chris Paul, Zhuang Yu, Kawhi Leonard, Draymond Green, and Rudy Gobert.

The All-Defensive Second Team includes Tony Allen, Patrick Beverley, Andre Robertson, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Anthony Davis.

There are also the Best Rookie Team, Sports Ethics and Style Award, Kennedy Citizen Award, Best Manager Award, Best Teammate Award, and the finale NBA Lifetime Achievement Award.

As the grand finale, the NBA Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to "Lord of the Rings" Bill Russell, who led the Celtics to 13 championships in 11 years.

The NBA also invited five legendary NBA centers, including Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Dikembe Mutumbo, David Robinson, Zo Morin, and Shaquille O'Neal, to present the trophy to Bill Russell.

At this point, the 2017 NBA Awards Ceremony came to an end.
