Chapter 497: FMVP Turned Out to Be Him! (1/4! )
"Coach, congratulations, incredible achievement, you entered the league 6 years ago and led the Rockets to create the Rockets dynasty, and now you came to Cleveland and brought the city three championships in a row, how did you ...... I mean, how the hell do you do that? The reporter's face was full of pompous shock.
The whistles of the fans behind him have been repeated one after another, and the cheers have not stopped.
The two teams have won three consecutive championships, and the Zen master has done it before, but for 6 consecutive years, this is unmatched.
At this moment, Tang Tian had already created a new history.
"Maybe I'm lucky." Tang Tian said with a smile.
"Well, luck, I'm sure every NBA coach would envy your kind of luck." The reporter said with a smile.
After Tang Tian, the reporter interviewed Casey, Jones and several important team members one after another, and Carter was the last one, and he was holding the championship trophy in his hand at this moment.
"Hey, Vince, I saw your big windmill dunk in the final moments of the game, exactly like you did in the slam dunk contest 12 years ago."
"Actually, I could have jumped higher, but I was afraid of scaring the audience, so I ......," Carter said and laughed.
"How are you feeling right now? With such a big trophy in your hand? ”
"Cool, very cool, you know it's cooler than how many baskets you dunk, it's irreplaceable, I love it!" After Carter finished speaking, he kissed the trophy fiercely.
The fans behind him screamed again, Carter represented their full of memories, and now he finally got his wish and won the championship of his dreams.
The last to be interviewed was Artest.
"I have a lot of respect for what the coach is doing for refugee children, so starting next season, I will officially change my name to Charity, World Peace." Artest's words directly shocked the audience.
But immediately the fans applauded and cheered for him.
Although rare, Artest's attitude deserves the respect of many people.
Tang Tian greeted Artest with a smile on the side, but he smiled bitterly in his heart.
Unexpectedly, Artest's name change was also related to him.
The world is wonderful~
All the interviews were over, and the media voting for FMVP was over.
In this year's FMVP, there is actually still a lot of suspense.
Paul: Averaged 21.2 points, 10.6 assists, 2.1 steals and 1.3 turnovers per game, shooting 49% from two-point range and 38% from three-point range.
Yao Ming: Averaged 19.6 points, 9.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.7 blocks per game, shooting 55% from two-point range.
Carter: Averaged 19.8 points, 4.1 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.1 blocks per game, shooting 51% from two-point range and 41% from three-point range.
Statistically speaking, Paul is undoubtedly the best, and the central role on the court is obvious.
But in the four games that the Cavaliers won, Carter played very strongly, and regardless of the first two games, he even averaged more points per game than Paul.
But the final decision is still in the hands of these 11 media outlets.
Stern had already picked up the envelope containing the results, and Russell also came out in a wheelchair, supported by Xiao Hua on the side to stand up.
"The ...... who won the 2011~2012 Bill Russell Cup"
Stern's announcement was a far cry from the attention it had previously received.
Tang Tian also turned his head to look at Stern.
"Vince Carter."
When Carter's name was pronounced, Carter was stunned.
Although he also said after the game in the press conference that he wanted to win the MVP, everyone knew it was a joke.
He's 35 years old, and he's not a league star anymore!
Tang Tian was also stunned.
He didn't know what the 11 media outlets were thinking, which was comparable to Iguodala winning the FMVP in his previous life 15 years.
However, unlike the situation at that time, when Carter was still confused, his teammates on the side were already smiling and congratulating him, including Paul.
Paul did not look frustrated or disappointed, but rather excited.
He doesn't value honors that much, he values winning, which can be seen from his attitude since joining the Cavaliers, and he has already won the FMVP once last year.
His smile was really happy for Carter, an old-timer.
Carter was pushed from behind to the front by his teammates in a daze.
"Vince, congratulations." When Stern and Carter shook hands, Carter was still a little confused.
It wasn't until Russell handed him the trophy that belonged to the FMVP that he came to his senses.
"I know you, Flying Boy, you deserve this trophy."
"Thank you, Mr. Russell." Carter respectfully accepted the trophy and shook Russell's hand.
The audience behind him also burst into enthusiastic cheers.
Carter represents so much of the past that one championship is enough to gratify them, and now there is an FMVP trophy that is really overjoyed.
"Vince, he's the first FMVP in history to serve as a substitute in the regular season, how do you feel right now?" When the cheers fell, the reporter began to hand Carter the microphone as well.
"First place?" Carter was a little surprised.
After seeing the reporter nodding, he couldn't help but smile and shake his head.
The audience behind him cheered even more.
"To be honest, I really didn't expect to get this, Chris and Yao are the core of this team, they deserve this, I ......"
"Vince, you deserve this."
"Vince, that's yours."
When Paul and Yao Ming heard Carter's opening remarks, they both laughed and shouted behind them.
Carter was a little speechless for a while, compared to the usual conversation and laughter at the press conference, he was really nervous and restrained at this time, which also showed that he really didn't expect this result.
"I think I have to thank Mr. Gilbert first......"
The tone of his speech immediately drew another burst of laughter, and even Gilbert laughed along.
"Thank you to the team management, thank you to Chris, Yao, and all the brothers, you have given me the greatest support, and thank you to all the fans who have supported me and the Cavaliers, this year has really not been easy."
Without too flowery rhetoric or too pompous emotions, Carter showed his most innocent side at this time.
"And I owe the most important thing to thank the coach, he believed in me, he pushed me off, I just tried to do what I could on the court, this trophy should not be mine alone, he belongs to the whole Cavaliers."
Carter's speech was brief and visibly unprepared, but the paragraph was sufficient.
When Carter finished speaking and lifted the championship trophy and the FMVP trophy, one large and one small, a spotlight flashed on the sidelines.
It was the most memorable moment.
Carter also turned around and hugged his teammates one by one at this time, especially when he hugged Yao Ming and Paul, and kept saying something in his mouth.
Yao Ming and Paul, on the other hand, smiled vigorously and patted him on the shoulder.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Tang Tian also felt a sense of relief in his heart.
FMVP is still a very important honor for players, James chose to leave, and last season's FMVP was given to Paul is also one of the reasons, and now looking at the atmosphere of these people, this situation should not happen again.
"Thank you, Coach." Carter finally came to Tang Tian's side and said from the bottom of his heart.
"Don't thank me, you earned it yourself." Tang Tianshi said honestly, although he is very strong, he is not a god after all, if a few fierce words can make every player explode, he doesn't have to rack his brains to think of so many tactics.
