Chapter 553: Most Valuable Player

"Can you not go, boss, I'll have to practice later." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info "Anjie looked in the mirror in the dressing room and everyone else was wearing jerseys or simply shirtless. It was just him and Lillard, in suits and leather shoes, standing in the middle of everyone.

The two of them wore clothes that were extremely incompatible with the atmosphere of the locker room, which made the scene very funny for a while.

"Hahahaha, we'll be watching you on the TV later, come on!" Iguodala teased the two, no one knowing why Orsi suddenly called the press conference. So Anjie and Lillard's teammates also plan to find out.

"Well, where did all this nonsense come from. Go ahead, the journalists must have been impatient. Rickard urged his two lovers to rush to the media reception room, and if he guessed correctly, it was really a big day for Anjie.

Pushing open the door of the media reception room, the noise of chattering inside instantly hit me. Rickard walked in first, followed by Lillard and finally Angel.

In an instant, the flash lights were continuous, making An Jie feel that he couldn't open his eyes. Nell Orsi, who had been waiting for a long time, stood up and applauded and shook hands with the three of them.

"I've been waiting a long time, friends, but I'm not calling you here today to ask you questions about the Western Conference Finals. In fact, right here, an award ceremony will be held right away. That's right, the Portland Trail Blazers once again swept a regular season award. As soon as Orsi said this, the reporters below were very excited, because they found that David Stern was sitting in a corner at the moment. There's only one reason Stern is here, and that's for the MVP awards!

Facing Anjie and Lillard below, they hadn't noticed that there was an old man in the corner watching them, so the two young people still didn't know anything about what was going to happen next.

At this moment, a pot-bellied NBA official walked up to the two with a trophy. But to the disappointment of the excited media, the NBA official was not holding the MVP trophy, but the Eddie Gottlieb Cup in the form of a clear crystal.

"Congratulations, Damion Lillard, Rookie of the Year, you deserve it!"

"What!?" Lillard yelled, slamming to his feet. He took the beautiful trophy from the officer's hand and showed that sunny smile. Lillard wasn't mentally prepared at all before he came, and this sudden surprise surprised the older rookie.

Although the reporters were a little disappointed, the best rookie was also a big news after all. And Lillard's performance this season is indeed not bad, and the news about him should also be a big sell.

"Oh my! I didn't expect that!" Lillard was a little overwhelmed as he received the trophy, and although he had fantasized about winning the Rookie of the Year trophy countless times, he didn't know what to do when he was in the moment.

"Thank you very much for this recognition, it is a supreme honor for me. Oh my God......" Lillard was speechless for a while, and the rookie kid's ecstatic appearance on stage also caused the reporters below to laugh.

"Ann, do you have anything to say to Damien about winning the Best Rookie Award?" At this time, the reporters naturally wanted to find An Jie to "save the scene". After all, An Ming's purpose here is to speak out about this incident.

"I'm genuinely happy with what Damion has accomplished, as only two people in the history of the Trail Blazers have won this award. The last time he did it was Brandon Roy in the 06-07 season. From the time Damien came to Rose Garden for a tryout last summer, I knew this guy was going to be amazing. I said to Mr. Orsi, 'Oh my God, he's the guy we need!'" Anjie said, clapping at Lillard.

"Well, actually, today we are going to announce one more thing. Just when the atmosphere was in high spirits, Nell Orsi interrupted the reporters' questions.

"Due to the exceptional circumstances, today, NBA officials and we will announce the winners of two awards at the same time. Of course, this was also the idea of Mr. David Stern. Let us welcome Mr. David Stern to the stage. Orsie finished and made a gesture of please.

David Stern walked out of the corner, smiled and waved at the reporters. Anjie and Lillard are only now discovering that the NBA president has been there all along!

But what is even more surprising is that David Stern seems to have something in his hand. That thing, if I'm not mistaken......

"Congratulations, Ann. You are the 2012-2013 NBA regular season MVP winner. David Stern walked up to Anjie kindly and handed Anjie the trophy that represented the highest honor.

An Jie was still laughing at Lillard's incoherent speech when he won the award, but now, An Jie himself was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

Anjie stared at what Stern had brought to him in surprise, and he slowly stretched out his big hand to take the heavy trophy from David Stern's hand. Best Defensive Player, Best Rookie, All-Star MVP...... An Jie has taken all these things. But no other trophy carries as much weight as the MVP trophy.

Underneath a dribbling figure is the base of the trophy. And on the base, there are a few lines of words engraved.

"MVP of the 2012-2013 Season"

"Anjie"

That's right, this trophy does have his name engraved on it. This trophy really belongs to you!

An Jie raised the trophy in a daze, and the reporters below were also stunned. Isn't this a press conference to give out the best rookie award? Why is the MVP suddenly in front of everyone?

But the silence didn't last a second before it was broken by the frantically flashing lights on the reporters' cameras!

David Stern applauded vigorously beside Anjie, who held the trophy and smiled. Orsi was right, this was a scene that would go down in history!

After all, the last time a Trail Blazers player lifted the MVP trophy was in 1978!

If you don't know what the concept of distance in 1978 is, then let's say two things: An Jie was not born at that time, and Kobe Bryant had just come out of his mother's womb. China's college entrance examination has just resumed!

Bill Wharton is the only player in Trail Blazers history to win the MVP. But just now, Anjie broke this record. And this move has undoubtedly made Anjie one of the legends in Portland's history!

That's why Nell Orsi is so excited, as the Trail Blazers have been taken over by a number of general managers. But there are only two general managers who can see their players lift the MVP trophy. And Nell Olsi, who has only been the general manager of the Trail Blazers for a few years, is one of them! His transfer strategy of introducing Anjie was not favored by everyone at the beginning, but Olsi really brought an MVP to Portland!

Not just in Portland, internationally. An Jie is the first Chinese to win the regular season MVP award in the NBA league. Although Yao Ming was very powerful back then, he had to admit that he was still a little far from MVP.

However, An Jie's super data of 28.0 points, 12.8 rebounds, 3.2 blocks and 6.7 assists per game this year made him easily surpass Yao Ming and create history!

Among them, Anjie ranked second in the league in scoring, second only to Carmelo Anthony. rebounds and blocks, which are the first in the league. As for averaging 6.7 assists per game, it is also the first in the center position.

LeBron James is indeed excellent, but Anjie deserves this MVP trophy!

"Let's talk about it, An! You must have a lot to say now! After all, this trophy is really hard-won!" Wu Hua was the first to stand up and threw the question at An Jie. Abandoned from the NCAA to the draft, from a potential rookie to a playoff elimination. From ambition to season reimbursement, from season reimbursement to Portland's restart.

Anjie's career has not been smooth sailing, and it can even be said that it has been full of disasters. But now, this MVP trophy, which represents the highest honor, has finally paid off everything AnJie has put in.

"What do you say? I'm really happy to have achieved this. MVP, that's the dream of many players, and of course mine. Only now, the dream has come true. This may ...... Oh my God, this is probably the most important moment of my life. An Jie happily held the trophy that belonged to him, and his voice trembled with excitement.

"My parents, my teammates, my mentors, my girlfriend...... I have so many people to thank and I feel like I'm lucky, at the very least, I'm not walking alone. Seeing that Anjie was getting more and more involved, David Stern stepped forward to hug Anjie.

When he was lying on the hospital bed and saw Rose, who entered the league in the same year as him, lifting the MVP trophy, An Jie had mixed feelings in his heart. He thinks he's no worse than Rose, but the two are in very different situations. At that time, An Jie made up his mind that he must not give up!

His persistence made it impossible for the world to turn a blind eye to him.

"What do you think about your career after winning the MVP? There has never been a Chinese player who has been able to walk the road you have walked. ”

"I think that only the championship is worthy of MVP!" An Jie lifted the trophy and made a bold speech. He's got all the accolades he can touch this season, just one O'Brien Cup away, and Anjie's fifth year of career is perfect.

Do you hear that? San Antonio Spurs. Your opponent is no longer the potential rookie of the year, no longer a stunned young man. What you need to face, but a dangerous MVP, a real MVP!

The first person in China to win the NBA's Most Valuable Player award is remarkable. But maybe Anjie can do more. This guy has been making people fall through the glasses and has never stopped.
