Anthony the Reborn

Chapter 182 MVP
The Eastern team won the final victory. This result may be acceptable to everyone. For the coaches of both sides, they have shown their own characteristics. For the fans on site, they have witnessed a game. great game.

The two commentators on the commentary table, Johnson and Barkley, are also talking freely at the moment. The focus of their discussion is naturally Anthony's last-minute pass. This time, the two of them are unprecedentedly consistent with Anthony's approach. I appreciate it very much. At the last moment, he chose to give to the open teammate, and he knew that the teammate would win the MVP after making a shot. Such a player will definitely be able to achieve a different kind of brilliance in the future.

But here, the most exciting thing is Iverson's fans. The Eastern team won the final victory. According to general practice, the player who won the MVP in the end is the player with the most points. Then Iverson, who scored 35 points in the game, is the first Two years later, he will win the MVP award again, and what is even more special is that Iverson defeated Kobe at Staples and won this MVP. For him personally or his fans, This is definitely an extraordinary thing.

After the game, the players from both sides did not exit immediately after greeting each other. Instead, they returned to the bench and waited for the final MVP candidate to be announced on the sidelines.

Anthony was sitting there at the moment, seeing McGrady and O'Neal on the other side congratulating Iverson, he also felt a burst of relief in his heart.

"Hey, Melo." At this moment, a voice came, Anthony looked up and saw Kobe.

Anthony smiled and said hello, "Hey, Kobe."

Kobe smiled, sat next to Anthony, turned his head and said, "I'm sorry, I couldn't make your wonderful pass in the end and wasted your assists."

Anthony looked at Kobe, smiled and said, "It's just a little bit of bad luck, but at least we have all played our best, haven't we?"

"Yes, we have all made our own contributions." Kobe nodded, and said to Anthony with admiration in his eyes, "Your performance is very good, sometimes I dare not imagine that you are really just a rookie, Really, you guys are the first player I admire from the bottom of my heart."

Listening to what Kobe said, Anthony looked at him full of surprises. You must know that Kobe in the early days was a very proud person in his bones. It is really beyond the reach of ordinary people to admire him.

Kobe continued: "Actually, I was also very surprised. When we played against each other before, although you won me in the end, I was thinking more about winning back next time, but this All-Star, your performance It really got me, and I said to myself, look at this guy, he's the one to learn from."

Anthony blushed slightly, he was really flattered by Kobe's face-to-face praise.

Kobe went on to say: "Of course, I will beat you in future games, and I am also looking forward to your performance. We are opponents, and we will also be friends."

Kobe said, making a fist with his right hand, with the back of the fist turned outward, and stretched out towards Anthony.

Anthony smiled, fist bumped Kobe, and said, "Yes."

"Ladies and gentlemen."

As soon as Anthony and Kobe finished punching, the DJ on the sidelines began to announce the winner of the MVP. Anthony saw that Iverson had started to walk towards the center of the arena under the guidance of the staff, where the staff had already built A makeshift podium.

The president of the league, David Stern, was also guided by the staff to the podium at the moment.

Soon, and without much surprise, the courtside staff announced that the MVP winner of the 2004 All-Star Game was Allen Iverson from the 76ers.

The moment Iverson's name was pronounced, Iverson walked up to Stern. Apart from the smile on his face, there was uncontrollable excitement, and even the corners of his eyes felt a little sore. This MVP, for him The meaning is really extraordinary.

The award ceremony was going on, Stern took the trophy from the staff, Iverson couldn't control the excitement of the trophy, and then gave David Stern a big hug.

The staff also came to Iverson's body at this moment, and said: "The fans at the scene must be looking forward to Allen telling us how he feels after winning this MVP game, don't you think?"

"Yes!"

The fans at the scene gave out a burst of cheers.

Iverson held the trophy in one hand, took the microphone from the staff with the other hand, and said with a smile: "I'm really excited, really, but I'm really, really grateful to all the fans for my support. Support, it is you, it is because of your support that I have come to where I am today."

As soon as Iverson said a few words, the fans at the scene burst into cheers.

Iverson reached out his hand to signal the fans to be quiet, and when the surroundings calmed down, he then said: "Today's game is the most meaningful game among the All-Star games I have participated in, but this game, I think this..."

Iverson pointed to the MVP trophy on the side, and said: "This trophy should not belong to me alone, it belongs to the entire Eastern team, including Tracy, Jermaine, Ben, this trophy Should belong to the entire East."

Listening to Iverson's words, the fans at the scene cheered again.

Iverson suddenly took the microphone away from his mouth at this moment, and turned around to exchange a few words with Stern. Stern showed some hesitation on his face, and after a while, he waved and called the MVP judges over. A circle seems to be discussing something.

The fans at the scene saw the sudden scene, and the cheers suddenly turned into discussions. They didn't know what happened.

After about three or four minutes, the judges walked away from the podium. Stern also exchanged a few words with Iverson. Iverson had a joyful expression on his face, and then picked up the microphone: "You guys It must be weird what happened just now, isn't it?"

When the fans at the scene heard Iverson's words, they all looked at him suspiciously.

Iverson continued: "Actually, I haven't finished what I just said. This trophy belongs to the Eastern team, but I think this trophy should belong to another person. Although he is a rookie, his performance, especially in the end Moment, he showed the selflessness that a team player should have."

Iverson's words immediately caused the fans off the court to talk a lot.

Kobe looked at Iverson at this time, and then turned to look at Anthony beside him.

Iverson's words continued: "It is because of his performance that today we are able to share such a wonderful All-Star Game with the fans. I have just communicated with President David, and he also very much recognizes me. point of view, so..."

Iverson paused at this point, and waited until the fans at the scene became quieter before continuing: "I decided to share this MVP with him. I think the fans at the scene should have guessed who he is."

The rookie showed his selflessness at the last moment. The fans at the scene were not fools. They immediately focused their attention on the bench of the West team. The cameras at the scene also caught up there immediately, and the reporter with the camera on the sidelines also ran away at once. Going to the bench of the West team, he pointed the camera at Anthony, who was still a little dazed.

Anthony was really confused at the moment, he didn't expect Iverson to say such a thing at this time, although in his impression, shared MVP is not unheard of, during the 09 Phoenix All-Star, O'Neal and Kobe, who had been traded to the Phoenix Suns, shared the MVP, but there are too many other factors in it, such as the gathering of the "ok" combination, for example, the All-Star was held in Phoenix at that time, and O'Neal from The All-Stars played tricks from the beginning to the end. In short, there were a lot of unconventional factors in it.

But now, it was Iverson, a player who made the initiative, and two people from the eastern and western teams, and Stern agreed, which is simply incredible.

Iverson said: "I think you should have guessed it, he is Carmelo Anthony of the Western team."

Anthony stood up. Although he didn't expect Iverson to do this, Stern intends to train him to become the spokesperson of the league. I am afraid that there is a meaning behind this. He still stands up with a smile at this moment, and then Under the guidance of the staff, they walked towards the podium.

The fans at the scene suddenly let out a burst of crazy shouts. Maybe Anthony didn't know how many fans were his fans now, but the shouts were even louder than when Iverson took the stage.

When Stern heard the audience's reaction, his face was full of smiles. He is a very discerning president, and naturally he would not act impulsively.

Anthony came to the podium, and the staff immediately handed him a microphone. The host finally recovered from the enthusiasm of the fans, motioned for the audience to be quiet, and then said: "Let's hear what Melo has to say. Said."

The fans cheered again.

Anthony turned off the microphone, looked at the audience, and then said: "I am very grateful to the fans for their support, to Allen, to President David, and to my teammates. I...in fact, I really didn't expect It was really surprising that this happened.”

"Then Melo, just now Allen said you were selfless at the last moment, so can you tell us why you chose to pass the ball in the end?" The host naturally knows what the fans care about most.

"The ball? I just saw that Kobe was open. In fact, Kobe performed very well today, but he was a little unlucky in the end." Anthony thought for a while and said, speaking at this time is easy to offend people.

The host did not embarrass Anthony, he continued: "Then, we would like to congratulate Melo, he will share the MVP of this All-Star Game with Allen."

Following the host's speech, Anthony and Iverson reached out to lift up the MVP trophy together, and the fans at the scene burst into cheers.
