On May 2, 2008, after all the games in the first round of the 07-08 playoffs were over, the NBA league held an awards party called MVP Night at Madison Square Garden in New York.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Madison Square Garden for the NBA2007-2008 Regular Season Awards Ceremony and MVP Night!" At 7 p.m., two ABC TV network hosts dressed in fancy costumes walked up to the podium that had been set up in advance and gave a brief opening speech, followed by thunderous applause from the entire Madison Square Garden.

I have to admit that David Stern's brain is good, a regular season award ceremony can become a tool to collect money, to put it in the past, that is, to announce the winners on the official website, and then hold a press conference, put all kinds of trophies into the hands of the winners, this season's award ceremony is good, all are about to play flowers, not only in the high-profile Madison Square Garden open door ticket sales, David Stern also invited celebrities and politicians from all walks of life in the United States to participate in today's award ceremony, As for the broadcast rights for tonight's gala, it is not in the NBA's broadcast agreement, so although ABC's top management has greeted the female members of the David Stern family behind their backs, ABC still had to pinch its nose and pay an additional $1 billion to buy the exclusive broadcast rights for the next five years.

After the host's opening remarks, the big dream Olajuwon, Admiral Robinson, Gorilla Ewing, the big shark O'Neal, and the four centers that once dominated the world, in the applause of the audience, appeared on the podium one after another, and the four of them will announce the best team of the season and the best defensive team.

The first team to be announced is the All-Defensive Team, which has been selected for the All-Defensive Team this season by center Marcus Camby, two forwards Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett, and two guards Kobe Bryant and Meng Xu. After a burst of All-Defensive Team, Dwight Howard, Bruce Bowen, Tyshawn Prince, Raja Bell and Chris Paul were selected to the All-Defensive Team for the second team of the season, and the All-Defensive Team has no trophy, so all the players selected do not have to appear to receive the award, and after the heads of all ten players selected for the All-Defensive Team appear collectively on the big screen in the center of the court, the award of the All-Defensive Team is over.

After announcing the best defensive team, Shaq O'Neal also joked by the way, saying that he was very envious of these current insiders, and he didn't have to be in the same era as a group of perverts like himself, otherwise with his defensive ability, he wouldn't have been able to enter the best defensive team for a while in his entire career, and he was only humiliated three times when he was selected for the second team of the best defensive team, after O'Neal teased, Olajuwon and Robinson both laughed heartily, Ewing smiled bitterly, compared to O'Neal, Ewing is afraid that he is the most bitter and aggrieved of the four centers!

After O'Neal's ridicule ended, they began to announce the results of the best team one after another, compared to the best defensive team, the selection of the best team undoubtedly made the big shark O'Neal more sad, if last season was excluded from the selection of the best team because of too many missed games, then this season's best team selection is the first time O'Neal has missed the best team since his rookie season, so after reading all the fifteen players who were selected for the best team, O'Neal's face is also a little unpleasant, especially Olajuwon's ridicule that he should retire quickly, so as not to make O'Neal's face even more ugly when he plays as a substitute in the future.

Compared with last season, there are a few fewer old faces who have been selected for the best team this season, and according to the NBA's past practice, most of the stars who have given up the best team are difficult to come back, and this season's best team is a while, and there are only two old faces left, Meng Xu and Kobe, Tim Duncan has been selected to the best team for ten consecutive seasons, and the record of being selected for the double team for nine consecutive seasons has been officially interrupted this season, and Tim Duncan, who is 32 years old, may never be able to come back.

Joining Shaq O'Neal in the All-Star Team is Allen Iverson, Tracy McGrady, Gilbert Arenas, and Chauncey Billups, and it's still unclear whether they will be able to return to the All-NBA team.

After the best rookie team was announced, Grant Hill and Jason Kidd jointly announced the best rookie team of the season, and the first single award for the best rookie award, in this season's best rookie selection, Kevin Durant defeated Al Horford and Louis Scola with a 72% preferred rate, and became the best rookie of the season, as for the highly-expected champion Greg Oden, who was reimbursed for the season without playing a single game this season.

After the Rookie of the Year, Magic's Sido Turkoglou was voted the Most Improved Player, Hornets head coach Byron Scott was named the Best Coach, Celtics' Danny Ainge was named the best general manager of the season for successfully recruiting Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen, and as for the best defensive player, Kevin Garnett, who moved to the Celtics, received the first Defensive Player of the Year in his career.

After most of the awards have been attributed one by one, all the attention of the audience was focused on the podium in the center of the court, NBA commissioner David Stern has a smile on his face, holding a folded card to the center of the podium, as the most important award in the regular season, naturally the most heavyweight is needed to announce the winners, and this person is naturally none other than President David Stern.

"I would like to announce that the Most Valuable Player of the 2007-2008 season was awarded to 。。。。。。" David Stern opened the card in his hand, pulled a long voice very old-fashioned, and after a slight pause, he opened his mouth to reveal the final answer: "Meng Xu from the Indiana Pacers!" “

When David Stern just said the letters Indiana, the broadcast camera of the scene was directly given to Meng Xu who was sitting on the sidelines, and then Madison Square Garden was drowned in applause and cheers.

After getting up and high-fived Kobe Bryant and Paul beside him, Meng Xu slowly walked onto the podium and walked towards the fifth MVP trophy in his career.

"Meng, congratulations, congratulations on becoming the first regular season MVP in NBA history to receive all the first votes!" After handing the MVP trophy to Meng Xu, David Stern said softly: "I hope you can fulfill your promise to me." ”

This season's Pacers, in the absence of All-Star power forward Jermaine O'Neal, still have a 63-19 record in the league's second record, coupled with Meng Xu's average of 33 points, 10.5 rebounds, 11 assists, 3.3 steals, and 1.8 blocks per game in 82 regular season games, so in any way, Meng Xu is a well-deserved regular season MVP, and even when the regular season MVP voted, USA Today publicly stood for Meng Xu. It is said that the Pacers' record this season is more valuable than their two seasons of 74 wins and 70 wins, because this season's Pacers, except for Meng Xu, have not had a single All-Star player, and such a team can still play a record of 63 wins, which is definitely a miracle!

"He conquered everyone!" When Meng Xu lifted the regular season MVP trophy with one hand, all the spectators at Madison Square Garden left their seats and chanted the slogan "MVP" in unison.
