Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

In the blink of an eye, it is already the end of June.

The NBA also held its annual awards ceremony.

In fact, this award ceremony only started last year. In the past, the major NBA regular season awards, such as regular season MVP, best defensive player, best rookie, etc., were announced one after another at the end of the regular season and during the ongoing post-season.

Starting last year, the NBA decided to hold an annual awards ceremony. All major regular season awards are placed after the finals. It is no longer just a simple announcement, but a grand ceremony will be held to make this an annual feast for the NBA.

The awards ceremony was held at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California.

Zhuang Yu and James Harden are the most likely to win the regular season MVP, so they both came to the award ceremony.

In addition, there are also many celebrities, stars, and other NBA stars.

Zhuang Yu had already participated in it once last year, so he had no interest in the procedures of the award ceremony and only focused on the results.

Soon, the awards were announced one after another.

The 2017-18 Rookie of the Year award went to Ben Simmons of the 76ers.

This season he averaged 15.8 points, 8 rebounds, and 8.2 assists per game. For a rookie, his statistics are excellent and comprehensive.

The Sixth Man of the Year award was given to Louis Williams of the Clippers.

This season, he averaged 22.6 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 5.3 assists per game, averaging 20+ points per game, beating Jordan Clarkson of the Lakers and Eric Gordon of the Rockets, and was elected Sixth Man of the Year.

The following Best Defensive Player Award was somewhat unexpected. It was not given to Zhuang Yu, but to Rudy Gobert of the Jazz.

You should know that this season Zhuang Yu can contribute 2.8 steals per game, the highest in the league. He has won the Defensive Player of the Year award twice, and his defensive ability is unquestionable.

Or maybe it’s because he’s already won two Defensive Player of the Year awards, so this one wasn’t given to him.

Rudy Bell averaged 13.5 points and 10.7 rebounds per game this season, in addition to averaging 2.3 blocks per game, which is the highest in the league.

"The best defensive player was not given to Zhuang Yu."

"The Lakers' defensive strength this season is obvious to all, and Zhuang Yu's personal defensive ability is also beyond doubt. I think he deserves the Best Defensive Player award."

"Hehe, it's just a Best Defensive Player award. Zhuang Yu has already won it twice. One more doesn't mean much. The key is the regular season MVP."

"Too......"

This result surprised some people.

But as people said, Zhuang Yu has won it twice, and he himself doesn't care much about it. The key is still the regular season MVP.

The winner of the General Manager of the Year Award is the Rockets general manager.

The Coach of the Year Award went to Toronto Raptors head coach Dwane Casey.

It’s just a little awkward that Coach Casey has left the Raptors.

Although he led the Raptors to the best regular season record in the Eastern Conference this season, they were swept by the Cavaliers in the second round of the playoffs.

This made the team management very unhappy, and they fired Coach Casey after the playoffs.

However, Coach Casey's ability is obvious to all. He quickly found a new job and is now the head coach of the Detroit Pistons.

It was indeed a bit embarrassing to win the best coach award after being fired by the team. Coach Casey went on stage to receive the award without saying a few words before leaving.

The winner of the Most Improved Player of the Year Award is Victor Oladipo of the Pacers.

Last season, he was still in the Thunder, averaging 15.9 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 2.6 assists per game. After joining the Pacers this season, his personal data has improved significantly to 23.1 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 4.3 assists per game, and his personal data has improved significantly, averaging 20+ points per game.

Finally it’s the regular season MVP’s turn.

This is undoubtedly the most important award at the ceremony. Amid the eager eyes of the crowd, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver announced: "The winner of the 2017-18 NBA Regular Season Most Valuable Player Award is Zhuang Yu of the Lakers."

As the words fell, warm applause broke out in the conference hall.

Zhuang Yu stood up, and his teammates and friends also stood up to congratulate him.

"Congratulations, brother."

"Congratulations."

Amidst the jubilation, Zhuang Yu walked up to the podium, while Harden, who was sitting below, had dull eyes, as if he had lost focus.

Last year he lost to Russell Westbrook. It can be said that Westbrook played too well. After all, his average triple-double of 30+10+10 was too dazzling.

This year, Harden averaged 30.4 points, 5.4 rebounds and 8.8 assists per game, leading the Rockets to the best regular season record in the league and the history of the Rockets, and also led the team to the Western Conference Finals.

As a result, he once again missed the regular season MVP.

Of course, losing to Zhuang Yu wasn’t really unfair.

This season, Zhuang Yu averaged 32.6 points, 8.4 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 2.8 steals per game in the regular season, which is no worse than Harden, and even better.

Although the Lakers' regular season record was not as good as the Rockets and they only ranked second in the Western Conference, in the playoffs, Zhuang Yu's performance could be said to have crushed Harden, and he eventually led the Lakers to win the championship.

Although this selection is for the regular season MVP, since the award is given after the end of the playoffs, the players' performance in the playoffs will be taken into consideration to some extent.

Unless this player performs too well in the regular season and crushes his competitors.

For example, Russell Westbrook's average of 30+10+10 last season was too gorgeous, which was quite explosive in NBA history. So even if the Thunder's record was not good, Westbrook still beat Zhuang Yu and Harden to win the regular season MVP.

It would be hard to understand if a player who averages 30+10+10 per game still can't win the regular season MVP.

Although Westbrook still averaged a triple-double this season, it was only 25+10+10, and the Thunder were far inferior to the Lakers and Rockets in both the regular season and playoff performance.

Zhuang Yu received the regular season MVP trophy and felt a little excited.

He has won the Rookie of the Year award, he has been to the All-Star Game, he has won the Defensive Player of the Year award, and he has been to the All-NBA Team.

He even has a championship.

All he needs is a regular season MVP.

And now the regular season MVP trophy is in his hands, and he has almost won all the awards a player can get in the NBA.

He is also the first Chinese to win the regular season MVP in the NBA.

"I want to thank my family, the team, and all of you..."

Zhuang Yu took the microphone and gave a speech, but what he was thinking about was the 5% stake in Anta's Yu series brand.

Very good, 5% is already in hand.

Of course, Zhuang Yu's ambition is not just 5%. His ambition is not just to make the Yu series a brand with a certain influence in China. He wants to make the Yu series a truly well-known and influential sports brand, and not just in China...

The award ceremony didn’t end there.

There are also Best Assist Award, Best Dunk Award, Best Clutch Shot Award, Best Ball Control Award, Best Style Award, Best Fighting Award, Best Sportsmanship Award, Community Contribution Award, and NBA Lifetime Achievement Award.

The most valuable of these awards is the NBA Lifetime Achievement Award.

The recipient of the NBA Lifetime Achievement Award this time is NBA legendary superstar Oscar Robertson, also known as "Big O". He is the only one before Russell Westbrook and the first player in NBA history to average a triple-double.

It's a pity that this is a regular season award, otherwise with Zhuang Yu's performance in the playoffs, he would have a chance to win the Best Clutch Ball Award.

At this point, the 2018 NBA Awards Ceremony ended.

As for the NBA's annual best team, it was announced early in the evening before the awards ceremony.

Zhuang Yu was selected to the All-NBA First Team without any suspense, and was also selected to the All-Defensive First Team. However, he had already triggered the "Rose Clause" and signed a contract extension with the Lakers last year.

Making it to the first team again would just be icing on the cake for him.

There is no doubt that Zhuang Yu was the focus of the entire award ceremony and also became the focus of discussion among fans.

"Sure enough, I knew that the MVP would definitely be Zhuang Yu. His performance this season was outstanding. Not to mention the playoffs, he averaged 30+ points per game and led the Lakers to win the championship and was named FMVP. His performance in the regular season was also extremely outstanding, averaging 32.6 points, 8.4 rebounds, 5.2 assists, and 2.8 steals per game. This is really crazy."

"Zhuang Yu has already won the scoring title and the championship, and now he has the regular season MVP. His season is perfect."

"Yes, in the entire NBA history, only three people - Shaquille O'Neal, Michael Jordan, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar - have won the scoring title, regular season MVP, and championship in the same season. You can see how difficult it is."

"Now Zhuang Yu has also done it. He is the fourth one."

"Zhuang Yu has accomplished something that even Kobe, James, Durant, and Curry have never done. Now, no one would object to calling him the 'best player in the league,' right?"

"This... at least this season he is the best player in the entire league."

......

at the same time.

China.

When the award results came out, the fans were all excited.

After the playoffs, fans were most concerned about the result of the regular season MVP. They all hoped that Zhuang Yu could win the regular season MVP and put a perfect end to the season. In the end, Zhuang Yu lived up to expectations and won the regular season MVP.

"It's hard to imagine that Zhuang Yu could win the scoring title, regular season MVP, and championship in one season. It's amazing."

"Grand Slam of the season!"

"This is the pride of our Chinese players..."

People roared with excitement and shouted with excitement, expressing their inner joy.

Anta also immediately posted a poster on its official website that read "Congratulations to Zhuang Yu for winning the regular season MVP."

Although 5% of the shares of the Yu series brands were given away, Mr. Ding was still very happy. It was a high probability event that Zhuang Yu won the regular season MVP.

"The 5% equity interest in the Yu series brand is a gift to Zhuang Yu."

Mr. Ding raised his glass with a smile and wished, "I hope you can take all 10% of the shares. Come on!"
