Chapter 229: Most Valuable Player

Among the NBA's season awards, the most important thing is the selection of the Most Valuable Player of the regular season, commonly known as the MVP.

In the original MVP selection, the NBA players voted, and then evolved into a joint vote by sports reporters or TV commentators in the United States and Canada, each judge voted for the best first to fifth players, the first name was the first vote, 10 points, the second vote received 7 points, the third place was 5 points, the fourth place was 3 points, the fifth place was 1 point, and the final score was the MVP.

Since its inception, the value of this award has increased year by year, and it is a testament to the fact that you are the best basketball player in the season and have led the team to great results.

Turning the page of Philadelphia's history, the famous names who won the title of Most Valuable Player of the regular season are vividly remembered, Wilt Chamberlain, Julius Irving, Moses Malone, and Allen Iverson When so many famous names hang in front of them, they see the glorious glory of the past.

This year, the Philadelphia 76ers' record made a historic breakthrough, and Tang Wenlong's call for MVP was very high.

On May 14, a message was released directly on the official website, announcing that Tang Wenlong won the 2011-12 regular season MVP, and then, the NBA official and the 76ers jointly held a press conference at the Wajovia Center Arena, and officially announced that Tang Wenlong won the 2011-12 regular season MVP.

Despite the preparations, when the first Chinese MVP appeared in NBA history, it quickly dominated the headlines. Be the big news in the blockbuster!

Tang Wenlong attended the press conference that day. At the press conference, there was a surge of reporters. Wait like crazy for the question session.

But first, it was 76ers general manager Stefan Schweech who handed the MVP trophy to Tang Wenlong, and then said what he had been ready for, similar to the award speech: "You became the youngest MVP in NBA history, you became the first Chinese MVP in NBA history, and you became the fifth star in Philadelphia history to win this honor, can you tell us how you feel?" ”

The reporters below fell down, and the president of the 76ers was also undisciplined.

Tang Wenlong took the trophy with a smile. He said thank you, then stood up straight, his straight suit set off his more shapely figure, and smiled at the camera with his standard white teeth.

"Wow, it was an unbelievable day, I didn't even think I'd be on a podium like this one day, it's crazy."

Tang Wenlong said with a smile, his tone relaxed, he turned his head to look over, head coach Doug Collins. Teammate Andre Iguodala and others sat there, smiling at him. While applauding and encouraging.

"First of all, I would like to thank my teammates, I couldn't have stood here without your help in this war-torn league."

"And then thanks to the coaching staff for every tactical arrangement that racked their brains, we couldn't have won so many games without changing the formation again and again. Thanks to the 76ers' uniforms, we had a successful season that couldn't have been without last summer's flawless operation, and thank you for your thoughtful arrangements. ”

Tang Wenlong thanked everyone for their help to him, and his tone was sincere, but in fact, he was not too excited to win such a heavyweight award.

Immediately, reporters began to scramble to ask questions.

Dolores is now Sports Illustrated's No. 1 reporter based in Philadelphia and is well known in Sports Illustrated's newsgroups throughout the NBA.

She was the first reporter to ask a question by the official, so she took the microphone from her chair, smiled at Tang Wenlong knowingly, and asked: "In the final selection, you beat LeBron James, defeated Kevin Durant, and scored more than 1,000 points, is this a great incentive for you?" ”

Tang Wenlong glanced at Dolores with a smile, nodded and said: "Yes, it's not bad at all, this is both an honor and a spur for me, you know, LeBron and Kevin are both top five players in the league, they are strong and hot, and in this year's playoffs, the Heat and Thunder have also shown enough competitiveness." ”

The ESPN reporter pointed to the question: "You got the regular season MVP, but the league has always had a regular season curse I don't know if you've heard it." Since '01, there have only been three regular season MVPs who have reached the Finals, and the only one who won the championship was Tim Duncan. ”

Tang Wenlong raised his eyebrows, this reporter is cursing him for not winning the championship!

He thought for a moment and said the opposite: "Yes, you're right, so I think the other seven remaining teams in the league can now put aside the playbook for the 76ers, because of the curse, they can definitely win anyway." What do you think? ”

The reporter obviously didn't expect Tang Wenlong to say this, his eyes blinked and he didn't react.

The scene was thunderous applause, Tang Wenlong's witty answer won everyone's praise, many reporters have secretly recorded this conversation, Tang Wenlong, like Yao Ming back then, once again showed wisdom from the East.

The reporter smiled wryly and replied stiffly, "I think it's good, I hope the 76ers can win the championship." ”

The press conference lasted for more than an hour, and the reporters asked questions non-stop, and Tang Wenlong cheered up and answered every question seriously, and in the end, his mouth was dry

The night he won the MVP was the second game against the Hawks.

Tang Wenlong took the regular season MVP trophy and returned to the locker room to share with his teammates. Even the veteran Luis and Andre have not had long careers, and they have never seen the MVP trophy in reality, and the two of them are touching around the villain, and they are amazed.

"Oh my God, if I can win an MVP in the future, it will be a perfect career." Iguodala said enviously, her eyes full of longing.

"As far as the way you play, nine times out of ten, you will be ignored by reporters, and there is absolutely no drama." Luis unceremoniously stung Iguodala, because the two know each other too well, and they often tear down the stage together.

Iguodala let out a long sigh: "If I were as accurate as Don, I would shoot like this, but the problem is, I can't be accurate, I really can't shoot, and Don is simply unmatched in genius on the offensive end, I don't even want to shoot once, all for Don to project." ”

"Typical non-human thoughts." Louis gave Iguodala a blank look, and knelt down at his old friend's personality.

Tang Wenlong happily received congratulations and encouragement from his teammates, he felt that there was really a steady stream of motivation in his body today, and he really wanted to show it! (To be continued.) )
