Chapter 454 The Last Straw

In fact, whether it is record or personal data, there is not much difference between Xu Hao and James, which is also an important factor for many experts to disagree on the regular season MVP winner.However, after the Timberwolves won this crucial game, the balance of victory gradually tilted towards Xu Hao. After all, the Timberwolves have already swept the Heat in the regular season this season.

Xu Hao will naturally go to the press conference after the game, which is also the unanimous request of all major media.Xu Hao was also a little helpless about this. He knew very well that this was because the media wanted to continue to hype the MVP battle to gain more attention.

However, Xu Hao did not intend to fulfill their wishes. At the press conference, he said very calmly: "It is good for me to win the MVP, but the team's victory is the most gratifying thing. And the selection of the MVP requires Looking at the performance throughout the season, I believe LeBron still has hope to compete for this award, and the outcome of a game does not mean anything."

No matter how the reporters set traps in the question, Xu Hao could always block them back lightly without leaving any excuses.Although he is the winner in this match, for the sake of character, it is better not to cause too much hatred.Besides, the players in the entire league don't look up and look down. Unless they are real enemies, it's best not to have too much trouble in the relationship.

The reporters must be dissatisfied with Xu Hao's attitude, but they knew that there was nothing they could get out of this young but extremely experienced guy, so they began to turn their guns on McHale who was sitting by the side. .

It's a pity that McHale is more savvy than Xu Hao. You must know that he was Bird's teammate back then, and he has seen "Big Bird" spray trash talk on and off the court. Isn't it a piece of cake to deal with media interviews?Despite this, McHale still intends to carefully solicit votes for his lover to help him win the most important award this season.

"I'm lucky because Chris is a player on my team and not an enemy of our Timberwolves," McHale said slowly. "Being able to coach a player like him makes me thank God every time I pray. Everybody can see that. , Chris has already performed at the MVP level, if I were to select him, I would definitely let him be elected."

Hearing this, the Miami media who came from afar were not happy. A young man with a cropped head stood up and asked, "Mr. McHale, do you mean that LeBron has not played at the MVP level?"

While secretly scolding this guy for looking for trouble, McHale replied with a smile: "LeBron is the best player in the league, there is no doubt about it, and his statistics are also very beautiful, but I am the head coach of the Timberwolves. I can only choose my own players. As for James' level, I believe everyone will have their own judgment."

After finally surviving the press conference, Xu Hao left immediately under the protection of the staff.He doesn't have a good impression of reporters, and thinks that these guys will only wantonly hype the news, and by the way, report the gossip he doesn't know where he heard it, and let the fans who don't know the truth be fooled. This is undoubtedly the most abominable thing.

But Xu Hao also has to admit that he, the team and the league all need the participation of the media. Their existence allows each team to continue to expand the fan base and influence. The problem is causing trouble.Of course, this is their job content, but Xu Hao usually tries to avoid dealing with them.

After defeating the Heat, the Timberwolves won the remaining four games in one go, ended their 63-19 regular season with a record of 2012 wins and 13 losses, and easily occupied the position of the Western Conference regular season champion.But before the playoffs start, the answer to this question about who is the regular season MVP of this season will also be revealed.

But most people are typical melon-eating people, even other stars in the league are no exception.They know very well that this year's MVP is basically born between Xu Hao and James, and the probability of a dark horse is close to zero.

In order to increase attention, the league officials conducted a questionnaire survey on the players of the remaining 28 teams. They wanted to know who should be the MVP in the hearts of their opponents.Unexpectedly, more than 60% of the players chose Xu Hao, and less than 40% chose James, which is very embarrassing for the current No.1 in the league.What's even more embarrassing is that after the questionnaire was returned, the NBA officially announced the results of the survey, which left Xu Hao speechless.

As a Chinese person, he likes to make a fortune in silence the most. Xu Hao is still a little uncomfortable with this kind of showmanship, and in his perception, doing so is very degrading.But there is no way, the league itself wants to hype this MVP selection, and they have succeeded. Before the playoffs, who can become the MVP is already the hottest topic.

At this time, Xu Hao looked away instead. If some things were not his own, it would be useless to force them, and it might be counterproductive.Moreover, in his opinion, his probability of winning the MVP must be much higher than that of James.

The final result was not beyond Xu Hao's expectations. He defeated James by an absolute advantage and won the regular season MVP of the 2012-13 season.When the voting results were announced, Xu Hao was surprised to see that his first vote was almost 50 more than James.According to league regulations, the first ballot is worth 10 points, the second is 7 points, the third is 5 points, the fourth is 3 points, and the fifth is 1 point. In the first ballot, Xu Hao has a lead of nearly 500 points and can successfully win the MVP It's also normal.

When he saw the interviews of some voters on TV, Xu Hao discovered the impact of the season's double-kill Heat on this MVP battle.Many voters said that they decided to vote for Xu Hao after watching the second game of Timberwolves VS Heat.The statistics are comparable, the record is better, and James looks less attractive.

For this reason, the Timberwolves specially arranged an exclusive interview with the local media for Xu Hao, mainly about the old-fashioned MVP growth path.But what made the beautiful reporter who came to interview very helpless was that Xu Hao rarely talked about himself, and more often he talked about the help given to him by others.Finally, Xu Hao said to her: "MVP is an affirmation of my strength, but without those who helped me, I would not be where I am today. They have a share of my MVP trophy. What I want to do most at this time I just want to thank them and thank them for the help they have given me over the past many years, all of which have made me stronger than before!”
