394: The most oolong award ceremony in history, Paul escaped from Earth overnight
Shay's Lakers went back to the Western Conference Finals with two 4-0 runs.
And Shay himself, after 11 years, once again lifted the DPOY trophy!
At the same time, it also makes Shay the oldest best defensive player in history.
From various record-breaking records in the regular season to two 4-0 sweeps in the playoffs. Shay's return to the top this season has convinced most people.
But.
Paul, he just didn't accept it!
Paul and Shay's air-to-air spray has whetted the appetite of fans.
Originally, the titanium alloy dog's eye incident in the regular season had already caused the two sides to form a grudge.
In the series between the Lakers and the Spurs, Paul has been on the sidelines, which makes the whole Lakers team very uncomfortable.
Paul's act of proclaiming himself the king of the west before the Western Finals further heightened the smell of gunpowder between the two sides.
So now, when the two sides are really going to meet in the Western Conference Finals, the fans' expectations are finally coming true.
The long-awaited person is finally sent to the front, so I have to do it hard!?
Paul is a particularly annoying player who will do everything he can to disturb the minds of his opponents.
It's just that he has rarely had such a big mouth in front of the media before. Even if you spray trash talk, it's on the field, out of sight of the public.
After all, they are public figures, and most players still have to pretend in front of the camera.
But maybe it was because he was almost eye-popping by Shay before, and he was too angry.
So Paul didn't pretend directly, and made it clear that he wanted to choke each other with Shay and completely tear his face.
This makes Paul an enemy that is now extremely hated in all of Los Angeles.
Although Kobe Bryant disagrees with Shay on the surface, he actually respects Shay in his heart, an idol who has been trained since he was a child.
Although Durant was rampant before the playoffs, he resolutely joined Xie Chui after the playoffs. Ever since Adu went to meet Shay, Rose hadn't seen the upright Adu.
Even Popovich, after losing the last round, admitted in a self-deprecating tone how stupid his pre-season predictions for the Lakers were.
It's only Paul, who is still dead after being beaten in the regular season, and he wants to be arrogant to the end.
The title of "the player who disrespects Shay the most in the current game" was also put on Paul's head by the media.
If a young player dares to be so rampant in front of Shay, and Shay loses to him in the end, he doesn't learn any lessons.
There was no doubt that Shay's prestige would plummet.
All of Shay's hard work this year, all those amazing performances. They will all become Paul's wedding dresses, and they will all become the foils that set off Paul's strength.
Although the Spurs defeated Shay last season, everyone knows that it is Shay who is still looking for form.
But this season, Shay has proven himself back at the top. If Paul can beat Shay, then he will be among the superstars in an instant!
And the rest of the alliance will also feel that there is nothing to fear from provoking Shay casually.
Therefore, Shay must not lose this round.
If he loses, then he will be a stepping stone to Paul's fame. If he loses, then there will only be more and more people who disrespect Shay in the future.
Although Shay often builds a stage for the little young model to become famous, on the basketball court, Shay will never be anyone's foil.
Besides, isn't there a probability of recycling for the little tender model to build a stage for personal use, can it be the same?
This year's Western Conference Finals is undoubtedly a battle that will determine the status of the rivers and lakes!
Shay would never let 183-year-old Paul experience the feeling of seeing all the mountains at a glance.
However, before the Western Conference Finals officially begin, Shay and Paul will have to compete in another aspect.
Since Paul has publicly touted himself as MVP many times, it has been a hot topic of discussion who will win this year's MVP.
On the Internet, the discussion among fans has not stopped.
Paul and James are both 66 wins, and both have the possibility of taking it.
Although Shay and Kobe Bryant have slightly inferior records, their individual performances are flawless, and it is not unreasonable to win MVP.
In short, the selection of this year's MVP has been very suspenseful.
This was also the beginning of Shay and Paul's rivalry.
It's May, the day of the start of the Western Conference Finals G1!
It can only be said that Stern does know how to do the whole job.
Like a veteran princess on the run, he knows what his target audience wants.
Since everyone cares so much about the ownership of this year's MVP, let's show up a little before the hottest series starts and make the fans tickle!
So today, when reporters photographed Stern in New Orleans, they were all extremely excited.
Stern's presence here means that there is a high probability that the MVP will be produced between Shay and Paul!
Of course, it is not ruled out that Stern just wanted to make a false shot and deliberately tease everyone.
Maybe he just watched the game and then turned around and gave the MVP trophy to Kobe Bryant or James.
However, Stern's arrival at least aroused the expectations of fans.
In fact, at this time, even Shay and Paul don't know who the MVP is.
Although Stern came to the scene, whether there was a pre-game MVP award ceremony later, he had to wait for the staff to notify him.
When Shay arrived at the arena, he looked calm.
After all, Shay has won a lot of MVP things, and the excitement has long gone.
Paul, on the other hand, was very excited when he arrived today.
In Paul's opinion, he has "hammered" himself to become the MVP of the season.
If it weren't for his own award, Stern could have given it the day before the competition.
There's no need to put it off until today, and it's on your home turf.
Since Stern is here at the Smoothie King Center, there must be intentions!
Not only Paul, but the entire Hornets team believes that Paul's MVP is stable.
Also, 66 wins in the regular season, and another team with 66 wins doubled.
No matter how you look at it, Paul is the best candidate for MVP.
In the locker room, the Hornets players even congratulated Paul in advance.
Head coach Byron. Scott even presented Paul with a large gold necklace with the word "MVP".
The atmosphere in the whole locker room was very good, which was equivalent to the Hornets holding an award ceremony for Paul in advance.
Paul, who got the big gold necklace, also stood in the middle of the locker room and began to speak:
"Thank you for your support, without your help, I would not have been able to receive such an honor.
There were people who won several MVPs in the 90s and now have nothing.
And we, will we rush all the way to the top! ”
The reason why Paul deliberately blamed Shay was because there were reporters filming in the Hornets' locker room at this time.
It stands to reason that journalists are certainly not allowed in the locker room before the game starts.
But Byron. In order to show the team's culture and record that Paul won his first MVP trophy, Scott made an exception today to let some reporters into the locker room to shoot.
Because of this, Paul deliberately said that "some people won several MVPs in the 90s, but now they have achieved nothing", he just wanted to deliberately off Shay!
In just a few minutes, the Hornets presented Paul with a big gold necklace for the MVP, and the video of the whole team congratulating Paul in advance on winning the MVP began to circulate on the Internet.
The click-through rate is high.
After this video appeared, the fan base was even more regarded as an official announcement and recognized Paul as the new MVP.
For a while, countless New Orleans fans were crazy in the comment section at the bottom of the video. While blowing Paul, Yin and Yang Shay.
"In the first round, Shay was lucky enough to win against a group of inexperienced young people.
In the second round, Shay was lucky enough to win against a group of old men who were past their prime.
But in the third round, I'm sorry, Shay will be beaten up by the active MVP! ”
"Paul Liu beep hahahaha! Even if Shay slapsed Paul's eyes, he couldn't stop him from becoming the god of point guards! ”
"Can't wait to see how the MVP rules the game! Lakers fans cry! MVPs and champions, you're going to get nothing! ”
On the Internet, there is a lot of discussion about Paul winning the MVP.
Paul's quote "Some people won several MVPs in the 90s, but now they don't achieve anything" is regarded as one of the most classic trash talk in NBA history.
The fans all exclaimed, they had never seen such an arrogant person in front of Shay.
Not only on the Internet, but even in the studio of TNT TV, the hosts are talking about the Hornets celebrating Paul's MVP in advance.
Kenny. Smith sighed: "I thought that the miracle of AI could not be replicated again, but I didn't expect Paul to reproduce the legend of AI so quickly."
Paul became the second MVP in NBA history to be less than 1.9 meters tall, and it turns out that short people can also shine and heat up in basketball! ”
Barkley looked dismissive:
"It's true that short people can shine in basketball, after all, I was also short in the No. 4 position.
But.
Can anyone tell me why you all say Paul is the MVP? Where did you hear from that?
David. Stern hasn't announced the results yet, has he?
Why, the Hornets celebrated internally that Paul was the MVP?
So if I celebrate now, will I be able to become a champion?
Paul can't win the award at all, and with Shay's stats and a series of records this season, if he is not MVP, then he should not be awarded MVP at all. ”
Kenny. Smith shrugged, unconcerned about Barkley's rebuttal:
"Charles, I know that you and Shay have a good relationship, but the facts can't be changed. Paul's 66 wins are enough to show that he deserves the prize.
Besides, if Paul wasn't the MVP, Stern wouldn't have had to go to the Hornets' home court at all. ”
"Eligibility? He's got a fart! If he has 76 wins, then the MVP must belong to him. But only 66 wins? Come on, my first season with Shay and I won 67 wins with just a few shots.
Since then, Shay has also won 70 and 72 wins.
Is 66 wins a drag?
Ah, I don't mean to remind you that I've won 70 wins, and I'm not showing off.
I mean, Chris. Paul's record did not reach the point of crushing Shay.
Nor to the point of setting a record.
So why do you all think that this MVP Paul has been decided?
I think Shay is the MVP.
His stats are impeccable, and he has set too many historical records.
Moreover, let the Lakers break 60 wins for the first time in the 21st century.
As long as those who voted are in their right minds, they will definitely vote Shay! ”
Spliggy Jazz ended up falling out with Shay because he never won MVP and FMVP with the Lakers.
Who would have thought that now, more than ten years later, he is very supportive of Shay winning the MVP.
Kenny. Smith thinks Barkley is a dead flying pig:
"Come on Charles, Chris's stats are good too. You just don't want to accept the fact that there are talented people in the country. ”
On the TV show, Barkley and Kenny. Smith was arguing.
Lakers fans are also looking forward to this reversal.
In any case, Paul's half-time champagne is just too infuriating.
Even if the MVPs are Kobe and James in the end, they are better than Paul!
Lakers fans are now desperately hoping that Stern is just here to watch the game.
It's a pity that the fans' hopes are destined to be unrealized.
Because on the Hornets locker room, a staff member has knocked on the locker room door:
"Get ready to play early, the MVP award ceremony is about to start!"
Hearing the staff say that the MVP award ceremony, the whole Hornets team was overjoyed.
This is an official announcement, right?
As a result, the whole Hornets team stepped onto the court with a boost of morale. As soon as Paul entered, the audience burst into shouts of "MVP".
At that moment, Paul felt that the whole world was his own!
When Paul heard the cheers, his eyes flushed.
For some reason, he remembered his grandfather, who was beaten to death by the thugs.
At that time, in memory of his grandfather, he scored 61 points in a high school game because he was 61 years old when his grandfather died.
Now, he must be proud of me!
Then, Paul looked triumphantly at Shay in the other half.
The Lakers players were standing on the other side at this point, waiting for the award ceremony to end.
Paul had all figured it out, and when he lifted the trophy later, he would be the first to look in Shay's direction and show off his honor.
Tell Shay that bastard that Lao Tzu is the strongest player in this league, and Lao Tzu is the ruler of this era!
The live camera also gives Shay a close-up, Shay is expressionless, as if everything in front of him has nothing to do with him.
Kenny. Smith also sighed: "This is the moment when the times change!" ”
Around them, some Hornets fans shouted at Shay:
"You're old, Shay!"
"It's okay, there's no shame in losing to MVP."
"Fakshay! Fakesey! ”
New Orleans is literally celebrating the New Year, and what could be more enjoyable than witnessing Paul lift the MVP above Shay's head?
Immediately afterward, Stern walked to the center of the field and picked up the microphone.
The cheers of the fans burst to the highest point, and Stern smiled and began to speak.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our MVP Awards Ceremony.
Now, let's congratulate the 08-09 regular season MVP"
With that said, the Hornets players also pushed Paul up.
Paul also held his head high, and while looking at Shay proudly, he strode forward.
From today onwards, I'm also a top superstar!
Then, Stern went on to say:
"Let's congratulate the 08-09 regular season MVP from the Los Angeles Lakers, Shay!"
"What!?" Kenny. Smith yelled, his eyes almost falling to the ground.
At this time, the entire Smoothie King Center was also quiet for a second.
The fans looked at each other, doubting their ears.
Paul, who had already walked up, froze in awkwardness as if he had been immobilized, looking incredulous.
Wang Defa!?
Shay!?
And Shay, he emerged from a dark corner.
He was full of confidence, held his head high, and strode towards Stern decisively and crisply.
There was no look of surprise on his face, and there was no smile.
It was as if he wasn't surprised at all by the result, as if he was going to claim what was already his!
Paul, who was extremely proud just now, hurriedly lowered his head at this time and ran off the field.
If he could, Paul would have fled the earth overnight!
This Nirmathai Society is dead!
He was embarrassed, not just because he had just walked onto the stage by mistake.
also because in the locker room before, the whole Hornets team collectively celebrated in advance, which made fans all over the world know.
As a result, Nima's MVP is not me!
It's like holding a college banquet in advance, but after all the relatives and friends arrived, they found that they could only repeat the study!
Paul was so embarrassed that the soles of his shoes were almost not buttoned up.
No, since it's not me, why would Stern be hosting the award ceremony on my home turf? Since it's not me, why did you notify me to attend the award ceremony?
Actually, Stern did it on purpose. If you don't have a whole job, where will the ratings come from?
Stern taught Paul a lesson, and the name of this lesson is "The Immortality of the Heart."
The adult world is all the eyes of the heart. You don't see colleagues in the same office, five people have to build eight groups, plus a heart is more than Amberdo.
As for the notice to attend the award ceremony, the award ceremony was supposed to be attended by both parties, and the Lakers were also notified.
I asked you to attend the award ceremony, but I didn't say that I was giving you an award.
The goddess just said hello to you, can you start thinking about the child's last name?
You just became the MVP of Ligue 1 and started fantasizing about dominating the NBA?
What do you think!
Immediately afterward, the audience erupted in huge boos.
But Shay confidently lifted the MVP trophy above his head amid this boo!
At the age of 38, he is the sixth MVP of his career.
Abdul-Jabbar became one of the most MVP winners in NBA history.
At the age of 38, he won the MVP and also broke the Carl Brown Championship. Malone's "Oldest MVP" record.
Shay's expression was grim, and even if he won the award, you couldn't see happiness and excitement on his face.
Even when the audience was booing him, he was still unhurried.
Stern handed the microphone to his father, and Shay took the microphone and gave a short acceptance speech:
"There were people who won several MVPs in the '90s, but they're still winning MVPs!
I know you're all tired of me, and after ten years of rest, you're back to steal your honor and your championship.
But at the age of 38, I can still snatch the MVP from this group of boys, so how can I retire with peace of mind?
Shut up, this is the last time you'll disrespect me! ”
With that, Shay handed the microphone back to Stern.
Shay: This is not so much an acceptance speech as a slap in the face.
Responds to Paul's previous attacks.
Although I didn't do it, I don't know why, fans all over the world who followed this game heard the sound of "popping".
Paul was slapped so badly!
Stern's imagination of the fans' jaw-dropping expressions was immensely satisfying.
Next, this controversial MVP award ceremony will definitely make the world pay great attention to this round of games.
Some want to see Paul prove himself, and some want to see Shay continue to wreak havoc.
But no matter what the purpose, the ratings for this round of the game are sure to explode!
At the end of the ceremony, Shay took the MVP trophy and turned back to Paul and winked.
In the TNT studio, Kenny. Smith swallowed as well.
Sure enough, Barkley was already staring at him maliciously, wanting to see how he ended:
"What am I talking about? Chatting with those of you who don't have championship rings is equivalent to cross-server chatting, and it doesn't make sense at all!
Why? Because you don't have the vision of a champion, you don't have the pattern of a champion!
You, tsk.
It's still a small pattern!
I said earlier, Shay is the MVP, don't you believe it. ”
Barkley's pig butt barely reached the sky, Kenny. In order to alleviate the embarrassment, Smith also immediately changed his words:
"I said Paul has what it takes to be MVP, but Shay, he.
He is the executive standard of MVP! ”
Good guys, Barkley called good guys.
Kenny. Smith, you changed your direction faster than Rose, and I was stunned for a moment.
It's not just Paul and Kenny. Smith was embarrassed.
At this time, on the Internet, countless fans of Hornets and Paul were so embarrassed that they canceled their accounts one after another.
But there are still really ruthless people, there have been Paul balls = fans before saying that Paul doesn't win MVP, he eats live broadcasts.
As a result, he also really posted a video of himself eating Xiang on the Internet.
For this kind of real food and broadcast, everyone has praised and supported it.
Actually, Paul fans really feel good.
NBA officials quickly announced the MVP votes, and Shay received a total of 75 votes, while Paul only had 12.
And Ajan has 15 tickets, which means that Paul doesn't talk about winning awards, he is not even the top two in the vote!
Like Barkley said, Paul's 66 wins were not much of an epoch-making record.
Shay, on the other hand, has significantly better stats and has set more records during the regular season.
In terms of popularity, Paul doesn't have much chance of becoming an MVP at all.
It's completely Paul who feels too good about himself, plus Stern is in New Orleans today, so it gives Hornets fans the illusion that "Paul has a lot of hope".
It's not hard to imagine Paul's mood at this time.
He walked off the court, picked up the MVP gold necklace he had just gotten, handed it to the gear manager, and told him to take it off, which he didn't want to see again.
Byron. The big gold necklace that Scott awarded him for the MVP has become a shame at this time, forever reminding him of today's embarrassment.
The rest of the Hornets players were also a little embarrassed, this Nima had just celebrated for half a day, and the MVP turned out to be someone else's.
The entire team experienced one of the most embarrassing awards ceremonies in NBA history.
And now, Paul and his teammates have only one way to alleviate the embarrassment – win the game!
You have to win the game today, or you won't be worthy to live on Earth in the future!
It's just that Paul doesn't know it now, on the other side, on the Lakers bench.
Shay is leading his garbage brothers, plotting to embarrass Paul even more!
Grabbing the MVP is just an appetizer, and the real embarrassment is still to come
