One Guard

Vol 2 Chapter 278: :Double honor

In the East, the Big Three and the Chicago Bulls led by Derek Rose have already begun a decisive battle for tickets to the Finals. On the west side, everything seems to be calm. The Thunder just qualified, the Mavericks have been waiting for a long time. The Western Conference finals will come later than the Eastern Conference finals, but everyone knows that these two quiet days are nothing more than the peace before the storm.

After the young Thunder qualified, various media felt a little worried for the Mavericks. Because compared to the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Mavericks lineup seems a bit too old. In the game, the Thunder, with more vitality, is likely to cause big trouble for the Mavericks.

But there are also people who hold different views. They believe that the Thunder are inexperienced because they are too young. The more the playoffs get to the back, the better the warring parties understand each other. At this time, the value of experience will be reflected on the basketball court. Therefore, some people think that the Thunder, which is very inexperienced, will be at a loss in the game.

The verbal battles between the fans and the media are very fierce. They are all fair and reasonable, and the mother-in-law is reasonable. It seems that everyone is right, but their remarks cannot stand firm under certain conditions.

Just when people were arguing, the NBA official "just right" dropped a "depth bomb" into the crowd.

On May 16, the day after the Thunder defeated the Grizzlies, the ba official and the Mavericks official announced at the same time that after voting, Yiyang finally won the 2010-2011 season's best rookie award!

In the morning, the media reception room of the American Airlines Center Arena was crowded with people. The seats at the scene were all filled, and the rest of the space was occupied by reporters. Yiyang and Carlisle were sitting on the stage, and now there were densely packed human heads.

It stands to reason that the best rookie is not a particularly big award. Compared to mvp and best defensive player, the announcement of the best rookie award seems to be of little importance. But today, the reason so many reporters are here is because Yiyang is likely to be one of the most controversial winners of the Rookie of the Year award in the history of the NBA.

Before that, people believed that among the major regular season awards in the NBA this year, the best rookie should be the least suspenseful. The top pick Griffin played in 82 games last year and averaged 22.5 points and 12.1 rebounds per game. The data is also very scary. Besides, when the league awarded the best sixth man award to Yiyang, people were even more sure that the best rookie definitely belonged to Griffin! Yiyang has already received the honor he deserves. For the sake of balance, it is not an exaggeration to give the best rookie to Griffin.

However, when the NBA officially announced the winner of the most rookie this morning, they did not see Blake Griffin's name, but saw the face of the Chinese again! This yellow-skinned guy has created the impossible again!

"In the past, the best rookies were the ones with the best numbers, but now it's okay. Griffin with the best numbers has actually lost!"

"You are stupid, you don't know how much water Griffin has in the bad team? If Yiyang is in the Clippers, the data is definitely better than Griffin! Besides, Yiyang's ability to control the game is Griffin. It's totally incomparable. Sometimes, data can't represent everything!"

"Come on, the league is hoping to open up the Chinese market! What kind of data, what kind of control over the game, are all shit! Business, this is all business, do you understand!?"

The media reception room was noisy, and reporters were whispering to each other. Yiyang's expression seemed a bit impatient. Compared with the excitement when he took the best sixth man at the time, facing the best rookie award, Yiyang now wants to go back to training sooner.

For other rookies, it is very rare to get a personal honor. But for Yiyang at this moment, his goal is only the championship!

After a while, an NBA official in a suit and leather shoes walked in. After he said a few words casually in an extremely official tone, he officially announced that Yiyang was selected as the best rookie of the season, and then handed the trophy for the best rookie award to Yiyang.

In the audience, the flashes from the camera were connected, and Yiyang almost didn't faint. He and NBA officials held the trophy together, and both of them were smiling and not smiling.

"Also! How do you think that you surpassed Griffin as the Rookie of the Year by a small margin of two votes?" When the Mavericks' chief press officer announced the start of the free questioning period, the reporters who had been accumulating for a long time were immediately impatient. Up.

This year, a total of 118 media reporters participated in the selection of the best rookie. Among them, 60 people voted Yiyang first, and the remaining 58 people voted Griffin first. This extremely small gap has appeared in only a handful of times in the history of the NBA. And this is one of the reasons why Yiyang, the best rookie player, is so questioned.

Facing this problem, Yiyang was not angry. He leaned forward slightly, bringing himself closer to the microphone on the table. "Doesn't it count as a victory if you only win a two-point game? If that's the case, how many classic lore looks so trivial."

As soon as Yiyang said this, the audience exploded. At first, people thought that Yiyang would answer lightly and perfunctorily. But unexpectedly, Yiyang's answer was so aggressive.

Now Yiyang's mind is indeed all put on the upcoming Western Conference Finals and Westbrook, but this does not mean that Yiyang does not cherish his personal honor.

His sweat in the training ground, the various humiliations he suffered in the NBA world as a yellow race, the nearly harsh requirements of the media... these are all behind the glamour, and Yiyang has paid. Hard work. Why should you accept your doubts with the honor that you have obtained with your own hard work! ?

"So, do you think you are stronger than Blake?" Seeing Yiyang's temper, the reporters were like a group of sharks smelling blood, rushing towards Yiyang.

"I think it doesn't matter whether I am strong or not. After all, this award is not given to me by myself, but you are given to me."

Yiyang's answer was so beautiful that Carlisle almost couldn't hold back a laugh. Yes, it was obviously the votes cast by this group of reporters, and now they are questioning it in reverse. Yiyang's answer can be said to have hit the nail on the head, leaving many reporters speechless.

"Congratulations. Also, you won the two personal honors of Best Sixth Man and Best Rookie this season. Unlike other rookies who have already taken a leave of absence, you are still in the playoffs. Then, after getting these two After the personal honor, do you have any expectations and goals for this season?" In the end, Mourin stepped forward and broke the atmosphere full of gunpowder.

"I will work hard to play every next game well, and with my teammates, towards the championship." Only when answering Mourin's question, the smile on Yiyang's face is sincere.

"Well, gentlemen, the time is almost up. Everyone knows that tomorrow, we have another important game to play! So, if possible, I want to take my players to the training ground! Thank you, thank you everyone for yours Support!" Seeing that the time was right, Carlisle stood up suddenly and was about to leave with Yiyang.

The reporters realized that the protagonist was about to leave, so they all asked the questions they wanted to understand. But what everyone said was intertwined, and in the end it turned into a mess of noise.

The reporters held their cameras and broke their throats. Some people even clashed with the security personnel who maintained the scene.

But Yiyang walked out without turning his head.

"How do you feel?" When the two left the reporters' field of vision, Carlisle, who was walking in front of Yiyang, turned around and Chong Yiyang smiled.

Rookie of the year, the Mavericks won the Rookie of the Year award last time, and it dates back to the 94-95 season. And the person who won this honor is now Yiyang’s mentor, Jason Kidd!

Although he didn't give the excited reporters a good look in the media reception room, Carlisle also had to admit that the arrival of the best rookie was indeed very special. In addition to only leading Griffin by 2 votes, Yiyang, as another player of the Mavericks after Kidd, also has a taste of heritage in it.

When he asked this question, he actually wanted to ask Yiyang how it feels to be awarded.

However, Yiyang just turned his ears with his fingers. "Finally quiet."

Carlisle was taken aback for a moment, then calmed down again. Yiyang, this kid, has a bigger goal than other rookies. A mere award for the best rookie seems to have been difficult to satisfy his appetite.

"Let's go, let's go back to training. Put the trophy in Cuban's office first, and make that guy happy too." Carlisle waved his hand and led Yiyang to the training hall.

Before the Western Conference Finals, winning the best rookie was only a small episode...

At the same time, Texas, Dallas-Varnes International Airport.

An airplane was taxiing gently on the runway, facing the noon sun. The reflective material of the airplane made the airframe itself seem to be shining.

In the cabin, passengers finally have internet access on their mobile phones. Westbrook, who was asleep in his seat, had just been awakened by the bumps while taxiing, and a loud voice came from behind him.

"It's really time for us to come. Dallas is very lively today." It was Congolese Ibaka who seemed to see something interesting on his phone.

"What's the matter? Is it a festival in Dallas today?" Westbrook looked out the window ~www.novelmtl.com~ After arriving at the "battlefield", the cells in this guy's whole body seemed to be excited.

"Just now, I was elected the best rookie of the season!"

As soon as Ibaka said this, Westbrook's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Haha, how about it, your opponent is the double winner of the best rookie and best sixth man." Sitting next to Westbrook, Durant stabbed his teammate with an elbow.

At this time, the plane was quite stable, the door was opened, a ray of sunlight came in, even a little dazzling.

Westbrook stood up and moved his muscles and bones that were a little tired from sitting for a long time.

"Then, let Yi's carnival, stop here." The black guard wearing glasses looked at the sunlight shining into the cabin, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly.
