Chapter 803 2017~2018 Season FMVP (3/4!) )
The players and fans were celebrating their championship, and the staff were nervously counting the results of the fans and media voting for the FMVP.
Compared with when the Nets won the championship two years ago, the suspense of FMVP this year is relatively small, basically between George and Irving.
After six games, Irving averaged 27.8 points, 2.5 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game, shooting 46.8% from the field and 40.1% from three-point range, including 42 points in the sixth game, setting a new career scoring record in the playoffs.
George averaged 23.5 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.9 steals per game while shooting 49 percent from the field and 42 percent from three-point range, including 37 points in Game 5, just two points short of his playoff career scoring record.
The others also performed well, but there was still some gap between them and the two.
(Butler averaged 15.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 2.1 steals per game, shooting 48.8% from the field and 35% from three-point range;
Jokic averaged 12.8 points, 11.5 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 1.8 blocks per game, shooting 58% from the field and 37.9% from three-point range;
Mitchell averaged 13.8 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game while shooting 45% from the field and 35.7% from three-point range.)
Hathaway and Swift also went down to the venue at this time, they held Tang Hao and Tang Tang with their left and right hands, the two little guys are now almost 4 years old, inheriting the excellent genes of their parents, wearing a plaid shirt and muttering in small steps, they are all very good-looking.
The first time Boss Ma saw the two children, he also greeted them with a smile, which was not good.
It didn't take long for the greetings here to be almost done, and the statistics over there had been completed.
The staff member walked towards this side with an envelope containing the results.
The team members also celebrated, and at this time they looked at the staff and turned their heads to look at Owen and George.
As teammates, they naturally know who the two people who contributed the most in the finals were.
Xiao Hua took the envelope containing the results, and the audience, including all the viewers who watched the live broadcast of the finals, looked at the center of the small court.
Bill Russell was helped to his feet by Wade and Frank.
Although his health is getting worse and worse, his face is very ruddy at the moment, and at his age, being able to appear at the championship award ceremony one more time is a little more color in his life.
Xiao Hua opened the envelope, smiled at the camera, and then announced the final ownership of FMVP.
"The winner of the 2017~2018 NBA Bill Russell Cup is ...... Kyrie Irving. ”
When Owen's name was pronounced, there was a burst of cheers and whistles from the audience.
George was the first to hug Owen and send him words of blessing.
The team members also shouted Owen's name.
Throughout the series, except for the fifth, his performance was basically the best in the team, and the last game led the team to win the series away with a rebellious performance, just like his name is homophonic, it is to control (carry) the game, and FMVP deserves its name.
Irving is a little young, really counted, as the champion in 2011, he has only been in the NBA for a total of 7 years, although he has always been very popular because of his style of play, and he has also appeared on the stage of the finals with James before, but it is the first time he has really led the team to win the championship as the core.
Nervous, excited, overwhelmed...... It's all on the face of the 26-year-old.
Owen walked to the front desk, bowed down to receive the FMVP trophy from Russell's hand, and then held it up at the signal of the staff.
“MVP! MVP! ”
Although there were not many people at the scene, there were still shouts belonging to the MVP.
It was only then that Owen's expression looked a little excited, and his eyes were slightly red.
It was actually a really difficult year for him.
"Kyrie, we know you've been under a lot of pressure this past year from offseason to now, but now that you've got the FMVP trophy, do you have anything to say?" The reporter also came over at this time and handed him the microphone.
To get FMVP, there will always be a lot of testimonials to say.
"Uh......" Owen took the microphone, as if he had a thousand clues, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.
There was a cheer of encouragement.
Owen smiled and shook his head, and waited until the cheers fell before he took a deep breath and began his speech: "I have to thank Mr. Don first, he is not only our coach, but also the owner of the team, who brought me and George, along with the others, to this team. ”
Owen's first thank-you was Tang Tian, which immediately caused a burst of cheers and whistles from the fans.
"We all know the changes Dwyane brought to the series, and we also saw George's crazy performance in Game 5, and Derrick's play in the Eastern Conference Finals, as well as Nikola, Yi, Donovan, Rajan, PJ...... Everyone's contribution to the game, it's a complete team, and you can't have this championship without any of them, so this trophy is not mine, it's every teammate behind me. ”
After saying this, the next cheer was the team members behind him.
Tang Tian and Boss Ma both laughed and applauded, Owen's modest character was still very likable.
"Yes, the past year has not been easy for me." When he was done thanking him, he began to answer what the reporter had just said.
"There's really nothing I can't say, I left the Cavaliers because they thought I couldn't do it, they thought I couldn't win championships as the core of the team, and they wanted to trade me away for some other asset, and I knew that, so I made that request, and they ended up trading me to Brooklyn and got the asset they wanted."
Reporters on the sidelines took pictures excitedly, and this was the first time Irving had talked publicly about it since he left the Cavaliers.
"But it doesn't really matter anymore, I'm glad to be in Brooklyn, to be able to play for the coach, to be able to be teammates with such a group of amazing players, to be able to bring the championship to the New York fans, and I am grateful to all the fans who supported the Nets and supported me, and that was enough."
Owen finished speaking, and then handed the microphone back to the reporter.
Cheers and whistles erupted.
This acceptance speech is neither humble nor arrogant, and the words are just right.
And judging from the tone of voice when he spoke, he was not prepared in advance, which also showed his character, he was not pretentious directly, but he was not careful.
As a player who went through what happened to the Cavaliers offseason, it would be false to say that he wasn't angry, but it was not easy to look back at that incident with such a calm mind.
But just like the first thing he wanted to thank Tang Tian in his speech, he also knew that he could only say this after winning the championship, and if it turned out that he was not capable of leading the team to win the championship, then there would be nothing to say.
After all, history is written by the victors.
