Chapter 745: NBA Awards Ceremony (4/4!) Ask for a commuter pass! )

Karmanen, Mitchell, Kuzma, after the first round, Tang Tian almost took away the most underrated rookies in this rookie.

This day's eyes are simply crooked.

Of course, it's not over yet.

When the election show was in the second round, Tang Tian used the No. 45 pick to select Dillon Brooks from the University of Oregon from Canada.

The 1.98-meter swing forward, the focus is on being able to defend and score, and he is a good sapper, which is what the Nets need.

Picking up 4 high-quality rookies in the draft in one go, the Nets have gained a lot in this draft.

However, Tang Tian was not in a hurry to sign a rookie contract.

According to the rules, a signed rookie trade can only be traded after 30 days, but if you don't sign a contract, you can trade directly.

In the next free agent market, he naturally wants to make a big difference.

But at this moment, OJ broke a small piece of news.

Stevens has resigned as head coach of the Thunder, and he will serve as head coach of the Celtics for the next season.

Stevens and Westbrook were at odds last season, and it was surprising that they didn't leave until after the draft.

Stevens debuted as Tang Tian's first assistant coach, and has been leading the team to the West Finals since then, with good ability, and his joining has also made the Celtics, who have been rotten for years, see a ray of light.

After the draft, there is still a week or so before the free market opens.

Historically, this time has been spent in various rumors, but this year is different from the past, and for the first time in NBA history, the league will hold a season award ceremony.

On June 27, at Basketball City Park in Port 36 Manhattan, New York, professional talk show hosts will be invited and commentators from major sports media will join in, and TNT will broadcast the whole process.

In addition to the traditional awards, the league has also added six new awards, namely Style of the Year, Slam Dunk of the Year, Block of the Year, Assist of the Year, Lore of the Year, and Performance of the Year.

Before the awards are finalized, the league will also announce the finalists for each award, who are also the main personnel composition of the award ceremony.

What Xiao Hua wants to create is the Hollywood of the NBA.

This past season, although the Nets failed to win the championship, their record ranked first in the East, Booker and Jokic improved dramatically, Tang Tian was shortlisted for the best coach, Jokic was shortlisted for the most improved player, and Booker was shortlisted for the best sixth man.

In addition to these three people, Butler, as a member of the Nets, will also join in the awards ceremony.

When the time came to June 27th, Tang Tian also took a break from his busy work and went to Manhattan across the bridge with his three disciples.

The circular stage, with seats facing the stage, is surrounded by round tables with fruits and snacks in a Hollywood format.

Tang Tian sat at the same table with his disciples, but before he started, there were many people who came to greet him.

Harden, Westbrook, the former Thunder Four Young, although they are now separated, Tang Tian is their eternal mentor.

In fact, the two seem to have a good relationship, and those old grievances have disappeared with time.

Popovich, the old man also came to talk and laugh with him, although the two were contenders for the best manager, but neither of them took the award too seriously.

Durant also came to the scene, but he didn't come over to greet Tang Tian, and he didn't know if it was because Westbrook was there, or he felt guilty.

The award ceremony was hosted by Canadian artist Drake, with a humorous hosting style, and compared to the awkward chats of the TNT group, the atmosphere was obviously better.

The Best Rookie is the first award to be given.

Brogdon won the award in his previous game, but Brogdon didn't get many appearances with the Nets last season.

In the end, the 76ers' Saric (12.8 points, 6.3 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game) won the Rookie of the Year award over teammate Embiid (20.2 points, 7.8 points and 2.1 assists per game, playing in only 31 games) and the Nuggets' Jamal Murray (10.2 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game).

This is also a short general, and Saric is not actually a rookie this year, which shows how weak the rookie of 2016 is.

The Rookie of the Year award was followed by the Most Improved Award.

Jokic, Gobert and Antetokounmpo were shortlisted.

Jokic averaged 12.1 points, 9.2 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game the previous season and 19.2 points, 10.7 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game last season.

Gobert averaged 9.1 points, 11.1 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game the previous season and 14 points, 12.8 rebounds and 2.6 blocks per game last season.

Antetokounmpo averaged 16.9 points, 7.7 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game the previous season and 22.9 points, 8.8 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game last season.

Jokic looks a little nervous and expectant, he has improved a lot this season, and if he can win this award, it will be a huge encouragement for him.

"The winner of the Most Improved Award in the 2016~2017 season is Giannis Antetokounmpo."

Xiao Hua announced the winner of the Most Progressive Award, and Brother Alphabet finally won the award.

Jokic looked stunned, then shook his head, looking a little depressed.

Tang Tian patted him on the shoulder and said, "You have proven yourself. ”

Jokic nodded reluctantly.

Tang Tian then looked at Brother Alphabet, in fact, Brother Alphabet and Jokic have improved about the same, one team has a better record, and the other has a more obvious core role, so it is not surprising who won the award.

The Most Improved Award was followed by the Best Sixth Man.

Andreas Iguodala of the Warriors, Louis Williams of the Rockets and Booker of the Nets were selected.

Iguodala averaged 7.6 points, 4 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game, and the role of "one brother" is not reflected by the data, but the previous awards were given to the one with the best data, and his entry has a lot to do with the Warriors' record.

Louis Williams averaged 17.5 points, 2.3 rebounds and 3 assists per game, and the Reeds were the best stats among the three, but the Rockets' record was also the worst among the trio's team.

Booker averaged 16.4 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game, Booker just happened to be a compromise, with the second-best record and the second-best statistics, but one advantage is that his three-point shooting rate of 44% ranks second in the league, and the number of shots is also the third-most, behind Curry and Harden.

"The winner of the 2016~2017 NBA Sixth Man of the Year is ...... Louis Williams. ”

As a result, a bit like Jokic, Booker also regrettably lost the election.

Booker didn't seem to have that much of an emotional change.

He had already squeezed out Gordon as the team's starter midway through the season, making the fewest appearances off the bench of the three, and a little more likely than Jokic.

Tang Tian also smiled bitterly after reading this.

It's unlikely that he'll be elected head coach of the year, after all, D'Antoni led the Rockets to a super face-slapping season, and now that Jokic and Booker are both undrafted, it looks like the Nets are going to go home empty-handed this time.

After the Best Sixth Person, other awards were handed out one after another.

It's a bit of a coincidence that the Warriors, like the Nets, didn't receive half of the award.

Halfway through the award ceremony, Xiao Hua picked up the envelope containing the best head coach results.
