Ever since Adam Shaw became NBA president, he has been working to make the NBA brand more marketable.

For example, last season, Xiao Hua would make the regular season awards announced one by one during the playoffs of each season change to a special award ceremony after the championship is decided.

The awards ceremony is undoubtedly a way to make the NBA a more commercial league and keep fans in the summer offseason than it used to be in the media reception rooms at each team's home court.

This year, because the strength of each team has been strengthened to a certain extent, the playoffs have been quite miserable. Even the Trail Blazers won the championship, and it was not a simple journey.

Against this backdrop, Adam Shaw postponed the award ceremony. The purpose is to hope that after the dissatisfaction and unwillingness in the hearts of the players have passed, they can gather together to participate in the ceremony with a friendly spirit.

If the awards ceremony had taken place just after the end of the season, it might have been difficult to see James applauding Anjie.

Today, AnJie and his family rushed back to the United States from Brazil to attend the ceremony. If it's none of her business, Anjie really doesn't want to come back from Brazil. But the NBA official made it clear on the phone. "I'm afraid you'll be nominated for multiple awards. ”

If the winners themselves are not present, then An Jie will not give the NBA face. So this guy, who was not used to the award ceremony, had to end his trip to Brazil early, and appeared in a suit in the basketball city park at Port 36 in Manhattan, New York.

In addition to Anjie, it is naturally starry here. Needless to say, many NBA stars are here today.

Before the award ceremony began, the famous American rapper Jay-Z made a warm-up performance for the ceremony. His songs are undoubtedly the ones that completely burst the scene. Before the ceremony began, the atmosphere was successfully mobilized by this hip-hop godfather.

After the performance, to the applause of everyone in the audience, NBA commissioner Adam Shaw walked out of the backstage with a smile. An Jie hasn't forgotten this guy's smile, because he just took the O'Brien Cup from this guy more than a month ago.

The award ceremony began soon, but to Anjie's surprise, he was called by name when the second award was announced.

In the best playoff moment, Anjie defeated the Warriors in the tiebreaker to lead the Trail Blazers to the finals, and successfully defeated all opponents to stand out.

At this time, when Stephen Curry and others saw the replay of that ball again, they only admired it from the bottom of their hearts. The sadness has passed, and that failed season is over. Now, it's better to give a round of applause to the guy who created the wonderful goal.

In the next few awards, An Jie also applauded his opponents. Thomas Jr. won the Best Community Service award in addition to playing basketball. Thomas Jr. didn't forget to help others.

The best performance of the year will be taken by Curry, who scored 28 points in a single quarter against the Hornets in the regular season, making the game completely out of suspense.

Up to the Best Fight Award, these new awards from BA may not be very valuable, but they are a great way to give fans a good look back on the whole season.

The picture of the return of the king in the last game of Anjie's finals made the audience burst into cheers again. James even took the initiative to stand up and hug Anjie, showing respect for his performance at that time.

The best fighting award, An Jie, who was injured for the championship, is simply synonymous with this award.

More than ten minutes later, An Jie, whose butt was not yet hot, came on stage again. This time, AnJie won the Best Cover Award. During the regular season, Anjie grabbed a dunk from Lakers junior forward Larry Lance, a scene that perhaps no other person in the entire league can do.

As these "warm-up" awards were announced one by one, the awards ceremony became more and more interesting. Fans who watched the live broadcast of the ceremony knew that the "warm-up" was almost over. For those traditional NBA awards, it's time to announce the results.

Oladipo, who won the Most Improved Award, kicked off the NBA's main award. This guy looked very excited after coming on the court, because he had been in a slump the previous season, and this year he finally bottomed out.

After the Best Progress Award, another important member of the Trail Blazers walked to the podium. George Ricard, the guy who won the title of best coach for the first time in many years.

If in the past Ricard relied on the Trail Blazers' strong lineup to win, then this year, when the Trail Blazers were plagued by injuries, after he completely changed the Trail Blazers with a closed training session, there is no doubt about Ricard's coaching ability.

Even Ricard's rivals, D'Antoni and Popovich, said in front of reporters. "George Ricard is definitely an extraordinary best coach. He has always adhered to the principles of traditional basketball, but he has used tradition to open up a whole new world. ”

Rickard lifted the little gold cup, and ten years ago, when he had just joined Iowa State University, he never imagined that he would one day receive such an honor, and more than once.

After the award was ousted, Ricard and Anjie hugged each other tightly. These two guys can be said to have achieved each other.

No matter how good the coach's tactics are, it is still the players who play. If Anjie hadn't conquered the city for himself, Ricard might not have been where he is today.

After the Trail Blazers won another award, the ceremony was temporarily dominated by another team.

Jordan Clarkson of the Los Angeles Lakers won the Sixth Man of the Year award, and Ben Simmons, the 76ers' "belated" year-long pick, won the Rookie of the Year award.

The penultimate award for Best Defensive Player finally whetted the appetite of fans.

Morris, Draymond Green, Leonard, Gobert and Anjie were the candidates.

Since the start of the 11-12 season, the Defensive Player of the Year award has never changed hands. For six consecutive years, it was won by Anjie. This record is not only unprecedented, but may even be unprecedented. After all, a player like Anjie who completely dominates the defensive end is really likely to never appear again.

So this year, whether An Jie can still win this award in the end. Whether the new generation of players such as Gobert and Leonard can shake Anjie's status has become the biggest suspense.

Gobert's rim protection is very efficient, and Draymond Green has proven himself to be an all-around defensive specialist. As for Morris, this guy's defense has always been underrated, but after joining a popular team like the Trail Blazers this year, he has stepped up again and again on the defensive end, which has finally impressed everyone. Leonard, needless to say, is the best outside defensive gate in the NBA league right now. And An Jie is the benchmark that stands tall, a monster that can really be defended from the No. 1 position to the No. 5 position.

Adam Shaw knew that the fans were looking forward to the outcome of the award, so he also made a fuss about it when the answer was announced.

Finally, Xiao Hua looked at the envelope. The camera shows five candidates with different expressions on their faces. But only An Jie, he just had a faint smile.

Best Defensive Player, for Anjie, is as common as eating and sleeping.

"Let's congratulate An! He has become the best defensive player in this league for the seventh year in a row!" Sure enough, when Xiao Hua announced the answer, An Jie just stood up and bowed lightly to the guests around him. With this award, no one can shake Anjie's status!

His performance on the defensive end of the pitch has been phenomenal, and as long as Anjie is in the penalty area, the other 29 teams will have to find another way. Countless superstars have been defeated in the penalty area guarded by Anjie, and the best defensive player is none other than Anjie.

Finally, the award ceremony entered the climax. The results of the regular season MVP will be announced soon.

In the two years that the Trail Blazers failed to reach the Finals, Anjie also missed out on the MVP award in a row. The year before last, the unscrupulous Stephen Curry broke Anjie's domination and snatched the MVP away. Last year, Anjie's good brother Westbrook became another new MVP with a historic triple-double per game.

This year, Harden, Curry, Durant, Westbrook and Anjie will compete for this award. Interestingly, among the five candidates, only An Jie is an inside player. And among them, three have played for the Thunder. Of course, people have also found that the once omnipotent "little emperor" has fallen out of the candidate list because of his increasing age and declining data.

The situation in which the three Thunder Youngsters dominate the alliance separately has become a topic of conversation among the media. Of course, this has also become a lifelong pain for Thunder general manager Presti. If he had been able to keep the three of them working together, God knows what would have become of the Thunder.

On the big screen, the highlights of a season of five candidates are being played. Judging from the highlights, each of them is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Each and every one of them represents the highest level of the league.

The big screen at the scene went black and the lights came back on. Xiao Hua walked to the front of the stage again, and the camera was once again on An Jie's face.

Angel held Catherine's hand tightly beside him, while Riccard prayed to heaven.

AnJie's competitors are extremely strong, and it will not be easy for Anjie to regain the MVP trophy.

But from another point of view, Anjie's performance this year is definitely commendable, with the league's No. 1 record, another 70-plus wins, NBA championship, and an average of 28.6 points, 14.4 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 2.9 blocks per game. Anjie's performance is no worse than that of any candidate.

Xiao Hua slowly opened the envelope in his hand, and seeing this scene, An Jie seemed to return to the scene when he participated in the draft meeting back then.

The NBA president on the stage decides An Jie's fate, and An Jie off the stage can only remain calm in the midst of tension.

Adam Shaw looked at the camera skillfully and quietly opened the envelope, for fear that people would see what was written in the envelope.

The guy smiled and leaned forward slightly to get closer to the microphone.

"The winner of the 2017-2018 NBA regular season MVP award is ......"

"In the 2008 NBA Draft, the Sacramento Kings chose ......"

The tall giant stood up suddenly, and he felt that his name was about to be called.

"Anjie!"

"I chose Anjie from Iowa State University!"

The two voices intertwined in Angel's ears, and the two different planes seemed to be intertwined. An Jie walked on the podium in a daze, and the dream once again became a reality......
