"Congratulations, Ann, on becoming only the second person in NBA history to win the Defensive Player of the Year award three years in a row. At the press conference after the game, reporters said hello to Anjie.

And An Jie on the stage held up the small trophy symbolizing the best defensive player and faced the camera. This is Anjie's third Best Defensive Player trophy in the three years since he joined the Trail Blazers. Anjie became only the second person in NBA history to win the Defensive Player of the Year award three years in a row, and coincidentally, Anjie just beat the first person to achieve this feat - Dwight Howard.

At this moment, no reporter cares about the game between the Trail Blazers and the Rockets. Because this round of the series, in fact, is over. Anjie's consecutive defenses of the Best Defensive Player award are the biggest news right now.

Anjie's deterrence of the forbidden area does not need to be analyzed at all, and it can be seen clearly with the naked eye alone. Joakim Noah, who finished second in this season's Player of the Year poll, is a far cry from Angel.

This is the horror of Anjie, not only can he win awards, but he can always leave the second place behind.

"It's three times in a row now, which is quite a result. You know, the people who have won the most Defensive Player of the Year awards in history are Ben Wallace and Mutombo, who have won it four times each. But now that you have three, do you think you can equal or break the record of four?" a beautiful reporter stood up, and she quickly cut to the chase and asked a question that the whole world cared about. An Jie, how many more awards can I win.

"Deacon Bay and Big Ben have always been players I look up to, and when I was a kid, my room was full of posters and I dreamed of being a defensive monster like them. So, I'm going to do my best to catch up with them. I don't know how many more times I'll win the Best Defensive Player award, but I'll definitely do my best!" An Jie held his own trophy, and the player sculpture on the trophy opened his arms and his eyes were determined, which was simply a replica of An Jie on the court.

This is just the first step in Anjie's success this season. The Trail Blazers' 72-win record will undoubtedly make them a big hit in the regular season awards!

The day after the game, the NBA officially announced the names of the winners of this year's Coach of the Year.

George Ricard, a popular coach in Portland who is not liked by fans in other cities, became the first coach in NBA history to win two consecutive awards.

Although Ricard left temporarily in the middle of the season due to physical reasons, although Spurs' veteran coach Vic has also done a great job this year. But when Riccard moves his 72-win streak, all other headwinds are automatically nullified.

Although the selection of the best coach is all-round, the record is always the first consideration. Ricard's 72 wins this season have overshadowed the results of the other nominated managers.

For two days, two regular-season awards, the Trail Blazers were the protagonists. Before the playoffs were in their final moments, the Trail Blazers had already begun to reap the accolades.

The other teams that are fighting are only in the red right now, and everyone knows that the Trail Blazers will definitely win the big prize this season. Especially Joaquin Noah, a center forward who can finally get ahead but was pressed by Anjie, feels even more aggrieved.

Now that everything is in place, Portland fans have only two things to keep waiting.

First, it is the regular season MVP trophy of this season. Fans of Rose City believe that Anjie, who is the king of blocks, rebounds and second in the scoring list this season, can continue to win this award. As for the second thing they are waiting for, there is no doubt that it is the Trail Blazers' second championship trophy since entering the 21st century!

The Houston Rockets are now on the back burner, and both players and fans have set their sights on the Western Conference Finals.

San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder, these two teams are the only obstacles for the Trail Blazers to break out of the West!

※※※

On May 11, exactly one week after the Rockets advanced to the Western Conference Finals, they had to face the fact that they were about to be eliminated.

Seven days ago, the Rockets, who returned to the playoffs five years later and made it to the first round, arrived in Portland with great ambitions. Today, however, at the Toyota Center, the Rockets' home stadium, there was a dead silence in the Rockets' locker room.

After three games, the Rockets' players have lost the confidence to continue to compete with the Trail Blazers. They just want to get the game done today and get on holiday as soon as possible, and in short, stop the eyes on their failures.

Howard walked nonchalantly through the players' tunnel at the Toyota Center, having just come out of the locker room to go to the training ground to be alone.

The impact of this series on Howard is too great, and in the first round of the playoffs last year, Howard was beaten all over the ground by Anjie, and he still has an excuse, because the Lakers' roster last year was extremely incomplete.

But this year, the Rockets, who killed all sides in the regular season, still couldn't withstand the impact of Anjie and the Trailblazers. This time, Howard found himself with no excuses to come to. The gap between him and Anjie is widening, and what Howard is thinking about at the moment is how to make up for the damn gap.

The "Warcraft" who led the Magic team to the finals alone back then, the championship fire ignited in his heart has not been extinguished.

"Boom!" Howard looked down as he thought about it, and suddenly he felt like he had bumped into someone. Looking up, a guy in a suit and leather shoes was sitting on the ground, and the box he was holding in his hand fell beside him.

"I'm sorry Mr. Dwight, I'm a little too anxious. The young man in the suit stood up and apologized to Howard.

"It's okay, be careful when you walk in the future. "How could Howard's sturdy body hit an ordinary person? But Howard was a little strange, this young man in a suit and leather shoes had never been seen in the Toyota Center before.

The young man hurriedly picked up the box on the ground, first closed his eyes and drew a cross on his chest, and then he suddenly opened his eyes and glanced inside the delicate and sturdy box. Aside from a huge NBA logo, there's nothing special about this box. Howard didn't know what this guy was nervous about.

"Thank God! if I break it, my life will be over!" the young man was relieved, he stood up with the box, and Howard, who walked past the young man, glanced into the box, and then lowered his head again.

Howard, who was gradually approaching the training ground, clenched his fists, and he gritted his teeth, his heart full of unwillingness.

Pushing the door open and walking into the training ground, there was no one inside. Howard walked under the basketball hoop with his head down and his fists clenched, and under the basketball hoop was wrapped in a thick layer of soft pads in order to prevent the players from being injured due to inertia and not being able to brake the car.

Howard raised his head slightly, his eyes fixed on the cushion.

"Damn!" Howard yelled in the empty training arena and punched the cushion of the basketball hoop!

"Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn!" Howard yelled, his hands alternating fists. The cushion of the basketball hoop was crackled, as if it could no longer withstand such damage.

Just now, in that delicate little box, Howard caught a glimpse of something that made his emotions almost out of control - the regular season MVP trophy. The young man he had never seen at the Toyota Center must have been an official NBA staffer.

What does it mean that the MVP trophy is here? It means that after the game, the league will use the time of the press conference to present Anjie with the award! Because at this moment, Anjie is the only one in this stadium who meets the MVP standard.

Howard was unwilling, and An Jie actually threw himself far into the rearview mirror like this. It's been twice, and An Jie has won this supreme honor twice. Howard, on the other hand, can only see these things in his dreams

Back then, An Jie was not qualified to compare himself at all. When he led the Magic team to the Finals, An Jie was just a rookie who couldn't even make the playoffs. However, the opponent who is gradually getting stronger uses actual results again and again to make the positions between the two reversed.

In this empty training ground, Howard let off steam about his emotions. The "Demonic Beast" that can rule the forbidden area has completely disappeared from today onwards...... After all, the last high school student in NBA history, the stimulation and blow he received were too great......

"Dwight passed! He didn't choose to attack the frame, he passed the ball! It was definitely an opportunity, even if Ann was right next to him, he should have tried it!" Mike Brin couldn't believe that Howard would give up a chance to dunk.

"Dwight hasn't been excited today, maybe the Rockets' defeat is a foregone conclusion, so Dwight has lost confidence. ”

The commentators, of course, don't know why Howard is so low, because now the entire stadium is close to 20,000 people, and only Howard knows what will happen next.

The Trail Blazers will defeat the Rockets smoothly, and Anjie will proudly lift the MVP trophy with this east wind. Howard knows that he and the Rockets can only be the losers in this play.

The Rockets have relied heavily on the "modern" two, and now that Howard has lost his motivation, the Rockets really don't get any chances.

The game went into garbage time early, and the commentators were even talking about what the Trail Blazers would do if they ran into the Spurs or the Thunder. This game has lost its meaning.

122 to 105, that's the Rockets' swan song performance this season at the Toyota Center. was swept 4-0, which is also in stark contrast to the results of the Rockets and Lakers in a tie-break five years ago.

McHale's shouts of dismissal still filled the court, and the Rockets players hugged each other one by one, no matter what the outcome, after all, everyone had worked hard together all year.

An Jie raised his arms high and clapped his hands in the air. He and his teammates deserve credit for their performances in this series. And this group of guys who have advanced again don't know that there is an even bigger surprise waiting for them at the press conference later.

This season's regular season MVP trophy is already waiting for his owner in the media reception room, and the Trail Blazers fans' wish list for this season is only the O'Brien Cup that has not yet been realized!

But they believe that in the near future, the City of Roses will once again be on top of the world, because the King of Portland, who wears the No. 00 uniform, always does what his people want......
