Falling behind 3-0 with no team to comeback is a feat that no one has ever done in NBA playoff history. It's hard for the Rockets to escape this law, and before Game 4, ESPN's commentator Van Gundy Jr. joked on a show: "Unless someone is injured in this series, there will be a 0-3 comeback." ”

Unexpectedly, little Van Gundy's crow mouth became a prophecy, and someone was really injured. It's just that it wasn't the Mavericks players who were injured, but Dwight, who played the best in the last game. Howard.

Howard's recurrence of a back injury in practice is not good news for either the Rockets this season or Howard's career.

Now, even the most experienced and combative Howard has fallen. It was only a matter of time before the Rockets were swept 4-0 by the Mavericks.

In the newspapers, it's hard to see the news of Rockets and Mavericks anymore, because people don't waste their time discussing things that don't have a lot of suspense.

Even Carlisle, who has always been cautious, is already thinking about his next round opponent.

But at this moment, there was an unexpected news from the NBA official, which made this boring series suddenly have a little waves.

"You mean, Adam. Xiao Hua wants to present the regular season MVP trophy to Yiyang before the game starts? Carlisle, who was dressed in a training suit, looked at Cuban in disbelief, not that he was surprised that Yiyang had won the MVP for the third year in a row, but that he had never been surprised by the MVP trophy presented on the spot.

Normally, the regular season awards are presented at a press conference, where both the NBA and the team are announced to reporters at the same time. For this reason, when Yiyang won the MVP for the first time, Pat . Riley also made an oolong. He thought James had won the MVP, so he notified reporters in advance, but the winner was Yiyang.

This thing is definitely Pat. One of the most memorable experiences of Riley's life.

But Adam. After Xiao Hua took office, it seemed that he wanted to use some more high-profile ways to award these regular season awards in order to further squeeze the commercial value of the NBA. To this end, Xiao Hua's plan is to wait for the end of each season to hold an award ceremony like an Oscar ceremony.

But it is clear that this plan will not be passed so quickly, because there are too many interests involved.

Since this is the case, Xiao Hua decided to come to the scene to present the awards, and took the lead in stirring up the heat of the regular season awards.

Of course, there is another very important reason why Xiao Hua will come to the scene to present the award in person this time.

"Unanimous vote!?" After listening to Kuban's words, Carlisle was taken aback again!

"That's right! I also got all 131 first-place votes, which is a perfect score of 1310 points! Do you know what that means, Rick also became the first player in history to be unanimously elected MVP in the 60-year history of the MVP award! The more Cuban spoke, the more excited he became, and he even alarmed the players who were training on the field. Of course, now the Mavericks' training is already aimed at the Warriors.

"Wait, I just heard the unanimous vote as MVP?" Nowitzki stopped his movements in surprise, and it seemed that Yiyang had dropped a depth charge on the whole league again.

On May 12, the NBA Western Conference semifinals, Game 4 of the Mavericks and Rockets series. Without Howard, Harden and a slump, the outcome of this game is no longer in doubt. After this game, the Rockets are also destined to start their vacation.

It's a pity that the pre-game award of the MVP trophy will definitely be a lot more lively if it is held at the American Route Center Arena. But Xiao Hua didn't expect that the Rocket team would be so "uncompetitive" that they would be eliminated if they couldn't even hold on to the fifth game.

Therefore, Xiao Hua had no choice but to present the award to Yiyang at the Toyota Center. So when Xiao Hua appeared on the court with a smile on his face, Houston fans were left with nothing but endless boos.

Before the award, Xiao Hua gave a short speech. Of course, these speeches are all about the greatness of Yiyang this season.

74 wins, scoring champion, assist champion and steal champion, of course, the most exciting thing is that Yiyang was unanimously elected MVP.

"This is the first time in NBA history that someone has been unanimously voted MVP, so congratulations, he is undoubtedly the greatest player of the season!" With so many honors, naturally no one can compete with Yiyang for the MVP award.

When Xiao Hua grinned and handed the trophy to Yiyang, the boos at the Toyota Center also reached a climax. Xiao Hua's smile was a little stiff, but he was still professional. As for Yiyang, he didn't care about the boos of the Rockets fans at all. The scene of being booed in the away game, Yiyang has long been surprised. When the Heat lifted the O'Brien Cup at home last season, the boos were twice as loud.

As long as the accolades are in hand, who cares about the boos of the away fans?

"He's the most incredible player I've ever seen." Mike. Brin, the gray-haired veteran who began his career as a commentator in 1985, has seen countless incredible players in his life. However, his evaluation of Yiyang is the most incredible!

Yes, 74 wins, three data kings, unanimously elected MVP, of course, Yiyang still continued to "force the king" Larry. Bode, "Zhang 20,000" Chamberlain and "The Lord of the Rings" Bill. For the first time since Russell, a player has been able to win MVP for three consecutive seasons!

Even superstars as strong as Jordan, Kobe, "Magic," James, and O'Neal have never done anything like a triple MVP. Of course, if it weren't for Yiyang and Ross coming out, maybe James would have been able to do it.

There is no doubt that Yiyang is enough to be written into the history of the NBA, and most of his achievements this season are unprecedented, and it is difficult to come after him. "The most incredible" way to describe him is simply the best.

On Yiyang's MVP night, Houston fans were already tormented. However, when the game began, they realized that the torture had just begun.

As soon as it opened, Yiyang was in full swing. In two consecutive rounds, Yiyang's breakthrough gave him the opportunity to hit three points, and he scored six points in a row. Without Howard, the inside line of the Rockets is completely the supermarket where Gong Yiyang shopping, he can come and go whenever he wants.

Under the strict defense of the Mavericks, the Rockets played for nearly 4 minutes before Harden finally hit a shot. From the first quarter of the game, the two sides seemed to have settled the outcome of the victory.

In the subsequent game, Yiyang was still excited. Just now the Houston fans booed, Yiyang didn't care. Now, it's time for them to "compensate" something.

The more the Rockets fans booed, the more frantic Yiyang's offense became.

On the night a player wins the MVP, habitual outbursts are predictable. First of all, the player is in high spirits after receiving the trophy, and secondly, he needs to prove that he is not limited to regular season explosions.

In the first game of the second round of the Western Conference in 2008, Kobe Bryant won the first and only MVP trophy of his career. As a result, on that day, he blasted 34 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists in front of the Jazz.

In 2011, the Bulls' Rose was named MVP when he led the team to the Hawks with 25 points, six rebounds and 10 assists on the night he lifted the trophy. Moreover, Rose was still injured at that time, but he always insisted on leading the team to the playoffs.

In the first two seasons, Yiyang's performance after winning the MVP was not bad. But everyone's MVP night performance was not as good as tonight.

"Also, he was on the ball from beyond the three-point line, and he looked at James. Harden's eyes, the thing he hates the most now, is to defend Yiyang! It's also accelerated, Harden doesn't have time to block, only to chase back! Break through to the middle distance position, Yiyang retreats! Harden was fooled, he pounced, but Yiyang paused for a moment and then continued to accelerate, and the trick was successful. Face Clint. Capela's supplementary defense is also reflexively dunked! Hahaha, tonight, the whole arena is a stage! 45 points, also cut the 45th personal point of the game! The game is over, let's congratulate the Houston Rockets because they won't have to endure this torture anymore! "Mike. Brin was completely enjoying the game, and Yiyang's performance to everyone was simply pleasing to the eye.

After that goal, there were five minutes left in the game. The point difference has been widened to 25 points early, and the Mavericks are 100% safe.

McHale ceremoniously called a timeout, though he knew that it didn't make any sense for him to call even ten more timeouts now.

Yiyang went off the field with a cold face. In the away game, you never want to see Yiyang's men show mercy!

"How? Why don't you go up and get fifty or sixty points? When Yiyang came out of the break, Carlisle asked as always.

"No, we've already won." Yiyang's answer is no different from before.
