Stevens beat Kerr (19%) and Popovich (10%) with 42% of the vote and was successfully elected as the best head coach in the 2015~2016 season.

This result is expected.

The two most impressive teams this season are the Pelicans and Warriors, both of whom broke the record for regular-season wins.

But the Warriors won 67 games last season, which is not a big improvement.

Of course, under normal circumstances, 73 wins would be enough for Kerr to be the best manager.

Unfortunately, the Pelicans still have 74 wins this season.

In this comparison, Kerr has no chance of winning, and with 19% of the votes, it can be regarded as the media's favoritism towards him.

However, in this way, Kerr is a bit unlucky, last season's 67-win league record, was robbed by Budenholzer, and this season's 73 wins can't compete with Stevens.

This is a tragic word with a capital letter.

"Stevens is a very good manager, he deserves this honor, for me it is not that important, what I want to do is lead this team to defend the championship."

Cole seemed unconcerned.

On the day of the game, the players finished their morning training.

They knew about Stevens' award to the best manager before training began, and a group of people stood behind the door with champagne.

Tang Tian casually made an excuse and led Stevens to the door of the locker room.

This scene is familiar.

Stevens pushed the door in, and Tang Tian flashed to the side.

"Champagne!"

A sky of champagne squirted towards Stevens.

Stevens went from head to toe in an instant.

"Ahem!"

He was also sprayed in his mouth, choked and wiped his face, and then saw the team cheering and screaming.

"Best manager! Best Manager! ”

Stevens laughed along.

This group of guys, his suit was specially picked for today's game, and being sprayed like this is a white pick.

But the smile on his face was true.

The team members celebrated him in this way, which showed that there was no barrier between everyone.

As he said back then, everyone on this team could change Stevens to call him Brad.

Tang Tian laughed at the door.

When he was on the Spurs, he sprayed Popovich with Duncan, and now he sprays Stevens with the Pelicans.

It's a continuation of his NCAA tradition.

The New Orleans arena was still full that night.

The second-half comeback in the opener gave fans renewed confidence in the Pelicans, who were looking forward to the team taking advantage of the victory and making it 2-0.

The opening ceremony was preceded by an award ceremony for the best manager of the season.

Stevens received the trophy from Xiao Hua's hand, and the audience resounded with deafening cheers.

Brad Stevens, 40, won the best head coach in his third season in the NBA, coaching the team, the Pelicans.

This resume is a personal honor for Stevens, and it also belongs to the whole of New Orleans.

Just like the glorious 74 wins, what the Pelicans didn't get last season, this season will be the same!

After the award ceremony, Stevens delivered his acceptance speech.

"Thank you to my wife, Tracy, thank you Mr. Benson, thank you Demps, thank you to the team management, my coaching staff, my players and all the fans, this honor is not something I can get alone, it's the result of all the hard work, it belongs to the city of New Orleans."

The reason why I chose to accept the award before the game is obviously to boost the morale of the team.

Stevens' acceptance speech was aimed at that goal.

Sure enough, before he finished speaking, the scene was already full of cheers.

The rest of the day, Stevens talks about the team's struggles over the course of the season and the efforts of the players.

“…… They are fighting for the city. ”

Stevens' eloquence has nothing to say, it can be close to Tang Tian's level, and the emotions of the fans are completely aroused by him.

At this point, his testimonial has basically been finished.

"Finally, I have to thank one of my teammates, Don."

When Tang Tian's name was mentioned separately, the decibel level of the scene reached a peak.

Don Heaven's popularity in New Orleans right now is unmatched.

"He was the one who gave me a chance to coach Michael Jordan."

Stevens's words were succinct, but when they said it, they stunned everyone.

He is calling Tang Tian publicly, comparing Tang Tian to Michael Jordan, the god of basketball!

Arrogance, exaggeration, shock, excitement......

All kinds of emotions were expressed on the faces of the fans at the scene.

But in the end, it all translated into cheers of higher decibels.

Tang Tian, why can't it be Michael Jordan?!

Jordan was great, but he didn't start winning his first championship until his seventh season!

Tang Tian has two championships in the first two years of his career, and FMVP is in his body!

Even as the core of the team, he has led the team to break Jordan's 72 wins in the fifth year of his career!

Jordan's average points per game and 2 triple-winning championships are his main honors, but now, Tang Tian also has such an opportunity!

Let's not talk about transcendence, but Tang Tian can really chase it now, comparable to Jordan!

As for personal strength, Tang Tian's defensive difficulty in the eyes of other teams is also very close to Jordan at the beginning!

So at first glance I was shocked to hear this, but when I think about it, there is nothing wrong with what Stevens said!

Tang Tian was surprised that Stevens would say this, but he smiled and nodded after listening to it.

In the past, he aimed at Durant, and he chased and overtook him.

After that, he aimed at Kobe, and he also caught up and overtook him.

Now, it's time for him to chase after the one and only basketball god and try to overtake him!

Carter, Kobe, James, past league spokespersons all chased failure, and in the end they could only be left alone.

But all he has to do is go beyond!

Stevens' speech was very rendering, not only to raise the emotions of the fans at the scene, but also to the players.

As a result, as soon as the game started, they beat the opposite Mavericks.

Carlisle is indeed a master coach, and after a game he has clearly analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of the Mavericks in the series.

In this game, he didn't make too complicated deployments in defense, it was a simple man-to-man, but on the offensive end he studied a lot of tactics.

The goal is to rely on the advantage of the team's many scoring points and win the game with offense.

But it's a pity that this hand has been expected by Tang Tian in advance.

The Pelicans are prepared in advance, like taking the lead in a game of chess.

As a result, the Mavericks' offense is still very difficult, but the defense is worse than the last game.

The Pelicans adjusted their offense and focused on Tang Tian at the beginning.

One comes and one goes.

By the 10-minute mark or so in the first quarter, the score was 30-15, and the Pelicans had a full 15-point lead.

During the intermission, fans chanted Stevens' name.

Wrapped in the momentum of the best head coach, Stevens has blown up Carlisle, who is famous in the league!
