1196: All prizes were taken by Link (3/5)
The NBA Draft has become a high-profile pick because both the Celtics and Lakers have high draft picks, and Lonzo, who was hyped by his own dad before the draft. Ball, as expected, joined the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Lakers drafted Ball, and everyone was thinking about D'Angelo. How can Russell and Ball, two overlapping defenders, coexist?
Maybe the Lakers will sell Ball or Russell this summer?
The buzzing transfer market is just around the corner, and fans are ready to look forward to next season.
But on June 28, in a situation that many fans have almost forgotten, the NBA's first annual awards ceremony began at the Buckhanger Center in Los Angeles.
At a time when the biggest suspense series of the season has been fully revealed, an awards ceremony suddenly interjects, and fans do feel a little unmotivated.
T. will broadcast the ceremony live, but the ratings have not met expectations.
In addition to the fact that fans' expectations for the regular season awards have been reduced, another reason for the low ratings is that Link announced five days ago that he would not be attending the awards ceremony.
With Link not to be seen, many fans simply didn't bother to watch the awards ceremony.
As for the winners of the regular season awards, let's just look at the results in the end.
The low ratings of the awards ceremony surprised .T TV.
You know, this is the first awards ceremony, and it's the first time that the NBA has held regular season awards in this way.
It's a very new thing for the fans.
However, even so, the awards ceremony was not effective in capturing the attention of the fans.
If it is held for a few more sessions, what will the ratings have to fall like after the novelty has passed?
The joke was supposed to use this award ceremony to make another wave after the season.
However, it seems that only the league itself finds this award ceremony grand. Most fans, but don't care.
In any case, the award ceremony still had to be held as scheduled.
The ceremony was indeed decent, and the stage was quite luxurious. This hangar-turned-space is, after all, Southern California's premier venue for charity, corporate, private events, and video and film shoots.
At the beginning of the ceremony, the famous NBA commentator Marvin . Albert gave a speech on the appearance.
During this time, the camera began to sweep down the stage, proving how star-studded the awards ceremony was.
NBA legend Reggie. Miller, MVP contenders Harden and Westbrook, supernova Antetokounmpo, "The Lord of the Rings" Beal. Russell, the hero of countless people, Aaron. Iverson......
In addition, many celebrities also came to the entertainment industry.
For example, the famous actress Rihanna, the black movie star Chadwick who is about to play the role of Black Panther. Boseman and so on.
At first glance, there are indeed a lot of stars in the audience. Active, retired, and in the entertainment industry all gathered together.
But none of this worked, after all, none of them were the greatest players of our time.
As the saying goes, what a person lacks the most is exactly what he likes to show off the most.
. The reason why T showed off the star lineup was just to explain: "Look, even without Link, we have a lot of other stars here, so come and see." ”
However, after one round of presentations, the ratings remained unchanged......
At the basketball ceremony, the biggest basketball star is not on the court, and the whole others are blind.
After that, the host of this year's awards ceremony, Canadian star Drake, appeared on the stage.
He deliberately greeted the stars on the pitch, and to put it bluntly, it was another way to show off the star lineup.
However, this has made fans feel that the league is hiding the embarrassment of the big name superstar not showing up.
The awards ceremony officially began, and the first to take the stage to present the award was Link's idol Grant. Hill, who will be the guest of honor to announce the winner of the Best Rookie Award.
Brogdon, from the Pacers, who received the accolade, also said in his acceptance speech: "Link has always been my target and idol, and he told us not to give up no matter where we start. Even though I'm just a second-round show, Link inspires me to get here. ”
If at this time, the live camera can give Link who applauded in the audience, how perfect it would be.
But it can't be helped. T can't shoot such a shot.
After that, Eric from the Rockets. Gordon won the Sixth Man of the Year award, and the respected Nowitzki won the Best Teammates award.
So far, the award ceremony is quite normal. But sitting in the background Adam. The joke sighed, he knew that the most embarrassing time of this year's awards ceremony was coming.
The biggest difference between this year's awards ceremony and previous ones is that the league has added many new awards voted for by fans.
These awards include Block of the Year, Slam Dunk of the Year, and more.
After Nowitzki won the best teammate award, the first award to be voted for by fans, the best assist.
In the end, Jokic didn't look at the back pass and assisted Link to cut to the dunk and won the first place.
However, since neither Jokic nor Link was in attendance, after the award was announced, . T could only awkwardly shoot the scene of others applauding, and could not find the protagonist......
The guests at the bottom felt that they were only cooperating stiffly, and they were embarrassed to see that they were all guilty.
Then came the best block award, and Link's shot against Harden was voted first by the fans. Again, the camera is embarrassed to find the protagonist.
Best slam dunk, Link dodged the three's extreme pull rod dunk and won the first, and he has won the third first place in a row!
Of course, as always, the guests could only continue to applaud awkwardly.
Finally, the Best Fight Award was taken away by Beverley, and the embarrassment of the awards ceremony was finally interrupted.
But Adam. The joke is still not at ease, because the series of embarrassments just now is just a warm-up.
After three or four awards, Link took the Winning Ball of the Year award.
He scored a three-pointer in the half-court three-point shot against the Raptors on Jan. 21 to rank first with overwhelming votes.
And this is already Link's fourth award tonight!
He was the biggest winner, but the league couldn't give the biggest winner any shots.
The Best Performance of the Year award, or Link! Against the Rockets last December, Link scored his first 50+15+15 performance in NBA history, allowing him to win the award with ease.
The fifth prize is in the bag!
After that, it's the best playoff moment award. In the Western Conference Finals G4, Link won the first place in the last second under the defense of Durant and Thompson, and won the first place against the winning goal of the Warriors.
Sixth!
Fans feel as if every award is followed by Link's name, but they can't see where Link is.
Finally, the biggest moment of the award ceremony arrived.
The results of the two awards, Defensive Player of the Year and Regular Season MVP, will be announced soon!
The joke was completely tense, because the embarrassment of the next awards ceremony was about to reach its peak.
Garnett was the guest of honor and announced the winners of the Defensive Player of the Year.
As always, it is followed by Link's name.
Link beat Green and Leonard to win the award once again.
However, since Link was not present, no one was sent to lead it. Therefore, after Garnett announced the results, he could only give a speech praising Link, and then send the trophy to Link afterwards.
"Link didn't show up for the scene because he needed to be with his newborn child," Garnett said a lot, but no matter how well he said it, he couldn't replace .....the main character.
Link picked up his seventh individual honor of the night.
But after such a blockbuster award was announced, the protagonist could not be seen, which was a bit of a waste of expression.
After the best defensive player, the high-profile MVP award finally arrived.
This time, the guest of honor was the president of the alliance who laughed at himself.
While both Harden and Westbrook have played quite well this season, Westbrook has even averaged a triple-double per game, and both are on the scene today.
But the Grizzlies' epic 75 wins and Link's regular season averages of 29 points, 9.2 rebounds and 8.8 assists per game are too dazzling, so Harden and Westbrook are basically here to serve as foils today.
They themselves know that they are unlikely to win the prize.
In the end, the MVP was taken by Link. This is the third time in his career that he has won the MVP award, and it is also his first time in a year that he is the Most Valuable Player.
Of course, winning the award this time also allowed Link to surpass many predecessors in the number of MVP awards.
However, as with the Best Defensive Player award just now, since Link was not there, the joke could only say some blessings and praises himself.
This was paved for more than two hours, and was long-awaited by fans, and the two most important awards of a season ended hastily due to Link's absence!
The award ceremony was at the climax of the crotch and pulled the biggest crotch.
The joke was out of the box, and he even regretted a little that he had annoyed Link.
Although he is the president of the league, it turns out that without the support of a superstar like Link, he is also a bare-bones commander.
After all, fans are looking at superstars, not presidents.
There is no doubt that the word-of-mouth of this award ceremony will be very bad.
But none of that had anything to do with Link, who won eight awards in one night and won both the best defensive player and MVP, he was still the biggest winner of the inaugural awards ceremony.
It's really people sitting at home, and the award comes from heaven.
Many fans ridiculed that the annual awards ceremony was simply renamed the Link Commendation Conference.
That night, Joke sent a congratulatory text message to Link.
From now on, his attitude towards Link must take place 180°, and he must begin to mend the rift that he had created with Link before.
The president of the league licks the player......
Lick it, lick it, after all, this alliance is really bad without Link.
