Just one day later, in the early morning of April 22, the honor of the best defensive player was also released.

There was no controversy about this one, and Chamberlain won the honor for the second time.

The best defensive player is not linked to the offense, but that doesn't mean that Chamberlain's scoring champion has no effect on the evaluation of this honor - everyone knows that players have limited energy, and if a person has to put too much effort on the offensive end, then the defensive end will naturally drop a lot.

Chamberlain is the NBA's triple crown winner this season: scoring, rebounding and blocking, and he finished with 17. 2 rebounds far better than the Monster's 13. 6 rebounds, one block is even better than the other party, in the comparison of the number of jù, the monster was thrown off several streets by Chamberlain, not to mention others.

In this way, Chamberlain became the first player in NBA history to win the scoring title, rebounding title and block king at the same time after the block statistics, and others such as Zhang Dashuai, Russell, Unseld, Abdul-Jabbar, Olajuwon, Malone, etc., either they did not have block statistics in their time, or they did not complete such a feat.

Chamberlain also became the youngest player in NBA history to win back-to-back Defensive Player of the Year.

In the selection, Chamberlain received a total of 542 points, including 105 first-choice votes, 4 sub-votes and 5 third-place votes. The second-place Howard only scored 148 points, and the third-place James scored 90 points, and Chamberlain's advantage was extremely obvious.

Howard is only 23 years old this year, and he is averaging 13 per game this season. 8 rebounds, 2. 9 blocks and 1 steal, with a record of 60+, the best record in the history of the Magic team, unfortunately, he met the pervert Chamberlain, and his career is destined to win nothing in this honor, unless Chamberlain is reimbursed due to injury.

This season's Warcraft has become very strong, he is now a three-time All-Star player, this season has set a new high, surpassing Wilt Chamberlain to become the youngest player to score 5,000 rebounds, of course, this is not to say, with Chamberlain's rebounding level, he can break this record in another season, his age advantage is too great.

With Howard's superior defense, the Magic have 54 games to keep opponents under 100 points for a 43-11 record. On December 25, 2008, the Magic allowed the Hornets to score just 68 points in the game. The Magic are averaging 94 points per game throughout the season. With 4 points, it is the sixth-fewest points conceded in the league.

Although Howard's appearance is remarkable, the problem is that he encountered the pervert of Chamberlain, Howard's mentor and Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said helplessly: "Dwight did a great job, he was destined to be a great player, but obviously, he started his career at the wrong time, but he is still young, only 23 years old, he must have a lot of opportunities." Because most great defenders only reach their peak late in their careers, Howard has a huge room for improvement. ”

The following day, the 2008-09 Rookie of the Season of the Year was announced, and the honor was taken away by the top pick, Derrick Rose, who deserved to be NO. 1。 Grizzlies guard O. J. Mayo was second, and Nets center Brook Lopes was third.

At the end of April, the Sixth Man of the Year selection also came to an end, and West finally took home that honor by taking out Jason Terry of the Mavericks and J.R. Smith of the Nuggets.

This is by far the most fierce battle for honors, West is excellent, but Terry is not bad, out of a total of 121 first votes, West received 61, plus 60 second votes and 1 third vote, for a total of 488 points, Terry got 50 first votes, 60 second votes, and 21 third votes, which is a small defeat to West.

A prerequisite for winning Sixth Man of the Year is to make more bench appearances than starts, and Terry has averaged 33 minutes per game in 63 of the Mavericks' 74 regular-season games this season, starting just 11 of them. In 6 minutes, the score was as high as 19. Six is the second-highest of his career, and Terry can also contribute two per game. 4 rebounds, 3. 4 assists as well as 1. 3 steals.

The biggest thing about Terry's loss to West was that Mad Dog was a great player, playing all 82 games this season, and he came off the bench for 65 games, only starting in the absence of Billups, and playing 17 games in the starting lineup, he averaged 31 games per game. In 5 minutes, he averaged 17 per game. 8 points, 6. 1 rebound, 4. 5 assists as well as 2. 2 steals, in addition to scoring, all other aspects completely suppressed Terry, especially the rebound, West is excellent, you must know that he also has a rebounding king Chamberlain next to him, and it is really remarkable to be able to grab 6+ rebounds in this situation.

In addition, as an outside shooter, West shot 48 from the field. 5 per cent, up from Terry's 46. 3% and 38 three-point shooting. 5 is also higher than the opponent's 36. 6%, Terry is higher than West in free throw percentage, he has 88%, West just reached 80%, but to consider, West has a total of 682 free throws this season, and he has more than half of West's free throws.

West's strength is his breakthrough, he has become one of the top five breakthrough masters in the league, and with Iverson, the Warriors occupy two positions.

It just so happened that the award for the best sixth man was released on the day of the fourth game between the Warriors and the Thunder, and in that game, Nelson Sr. only deliberately arranged for West, who appeared in the second minute of the game, and was actually no different from the main team, and after the game, the team specially arranged a press conference for him.

Nelson Sr., who was the host of the press conference who won the best head coach for a short time, showed up and sat on either side of West.

After the opening, old Nelson stood up with the microphone and said: "Today, I want to tell you a story about mistakes and atonements, the protagonist of the story is a boy from a single-parent family, that is a brave, stubborn, silent guy, he is not easy to get to today......"

Nelson Sr. briefly introduced what he knew about West's experience, and finally handed the microphone to West, and said: "Delonti, this is what you deserve, say something to everyone, to your friends, your family, say what you want to say, today you are the center of the NBA!" ”

Holding the microphone in his left hand and the Sixth Man of the Year trophy in his right, West stood up with his head down, shrugged after a moment of silence and said, "Like the boss said, I'm relatively silent, so now I have a thousand words in my heart, but I really don't know where to start, okay, I thank my team first, he prepared such a press conference for this, it's really great, it's really great." ”

Richard, who is supposed to be the youngest and most active owner in the NBA, also came to the scene, stood up and applauded: "Delonte, don't be humble, you deserve it, man, thank you for all the work you've been doing for the team, I have to say, you're an amazing guy!" ”

West smiled and punched Richard in the air, he nodded and said: "In that case, let's start with God, thank my Lord Christ for never giving up on me, he and my mother are the greatest people in my life, my mother gave me life, gave me a strong body, he gave me basketball, let me be exposed to this sport." Of course, the most important thing in my career is my teammates. They help me, love me, tolerate me, these guys are what keep me going, every time I see them, I am filled with strength and passion, you mean so much to me, I thank each and every one of you. ”

"Chauncey is my eldest brother, he taught me how to help the team, either you can score or be a helpful person, you have to be willing to sacrifice more for the team, for your teammates, it was he who taught me to be good at giving to get more, I never wanted to play as a substitute, just like in high school, the coach asked me to play as a substitute, then I changed schools. But Chauncey excused me again and again, and even texted me in the middle of the night to encourage me, thank you, Chauncey, my big brother"

Billups got up and high-fived West, patted him on the back and said, "Well done, boy!" ”

"Jack is the boss in our locker room, he's a tough guy, and I think I'm a tough guy too, but when I first came to the team, I was beaten up badly, so I realized that this guy was the number one tough guy because he had the toughest punches. But, to be honest, I was a real asshole at the time, I sarcastically laughed at my teammates, I ostracized everyone on the team, Chauncey persuaded me with words, Boss Jack taught me with his fists, thank you, Boss Jack, you are like a gardener with scissors, you cut off the crooked branches and leaves on my body, thank you. ”

Jackson grinned and punched him again, signaling their friendship with a gangster gesture.

"And the AI, even though you've only been in the team for a short time, now we've been talking about everything intimately, and honestly, you're my idol, I played because of you, and you conquered me with the heroism of God on the pitch, and that's great. After you came to the Warriors, I got to know you better, it turns out that you are far better than I know, from you, I learned to be resilient and fearless, never give up the game at any time, yes, men have to shoulder their own responsibilities, yes, AI, you are right. ”

“……”“……”“……”

Thanking his teammates one by one, West put Chamberlain in the last place, "Hi, Z, if you don't dislike it, I want to give you this trophy, maybe I'm a little insensitive, but that's the truth, you saved me, my mother gave me life, you gave me professional life." You're so young that many people think you're a big kid, it's ridiculous, you're more mature than anyone else, and I have to say, you're a very good leader, and it's the greatest honor of my life to know you! ”

"When I first came to Auckland, I was about to retire, I was suffering from depression and I thought more than once about whether I should kill myself because I was a burden to the world, thank you, Z. Fuck I don't know what to say, you've been honest with me since the first time we met, when someone criticizes me, you're always the first to stand up and speak for me, when I'm in trouble, you always deal with me without hesitation, no one understands the feelings between us, Z, I'm willing to help you play ball for the rest of your life, play any position, get any salary I'm very happy, as long as we can play together! My ex-agent told me that I could get a higher salary if I went to another team, but why should I get a higher salary? What's the point of playing basketball without brothers?! ”

"I'm going to say, Z, you're the MVP, you're the greatest player in the NBA in my eyes, history! You will come this far after all, and I want to thank God again for allowing me to meet you, my brother, my forever brother, during the most difficult time of my life! ”

Chamberlain, who was sitting next to him, gave West a bear hug, who was already choking up, apparently emotional.

Eventually, West concluded with his family: "I don't know who my father is, and I don't want to know, Mom, it's enough to have you, you're a great woman, and in my heart, you're the greatest woman!" I will never forget the days when you were hungry but asked me to ensure my nutrition, and I will never forget the days when you urged me to study and practice every day! And my daughter, I love you, you are the biggest motivator to keep me moving and passionate right now! ”

"Like the boss said, I used to be a jerk, a total jerk, I hurt a girl who loved me so much, fuck, I really wasn't even a brute back then! Thank you for loving me, thank you for giving so much for me, my Lord Christ is just, he has given you new happiness, here I want to congratulate you, I hope you can grow old together, I will bless you for the rest of my life, because I owe you so much! ”

"And the love of my life, the girl who is about to become my bride, thank you for being kind to me, I thought I would be alone for the rest of my life...... Oh God, you were too lenient with me, I used to be such a bastard, but you gave me perfect happiness in the end, and I promise everyone that I will try to be an upright, motivated, and responsible man in the future! Yes, I swear to God, I will not be ashamed of this trophy in my opponent! ”

The applause of the audience lasted for a long time.

Like Nelson Sr. said, it's a story about atonement, and the protagonist of the story does a great job.
