The Way of the Center

One second to remember 【】, to provide you with wonderful novel reading.

"Congratulations, Ann, congratulations on becoming the second person in NBA history who can get the best defensive player for three consecutive years." At the press conference after the game, reporters congratulated An Jie.

On the stage, An Jie held up the small trophy symbolizing the best defensive player and faced the camera. This is the third best defensive player trophy since Anjie joined the Trail Blazers in three years. An Jie became the second person in NBA history to win the Best Defensive Player award for three consecutive years. It just so happens that An Jie just defeated the first person to achieve this achievement-Dwight Howard.

At this moment, no reporter will care about the game between the Blazers and the Rockets. Because this round of the series is actually over. Anjie’s consecutive defense of the best defensive player award is now the biggest news.

An Jie's deterrence against the restricted area does not require data analysis at all, and can be seen clearly with the naked eye. Joakim Noah, who ranked second in the vote of the best player of the season, is a far cry from Angel.

This is the horror of An Jie, not only can he win prizes, but he can always throw second place far.

"It has been three consecutive times. This is a very remarkable result. You know, the people who have won the most Defensive Player awards in history are Ben Wallace and Mutombo. They have won four times each. But. Now that you have three in your hand, do you think you can equalize or break the record four times?" A beauty reporter stood up, she quickly got to the point and asked a question that the whole world cares about. An Jie, how many more awards can he win?

"Dikembe and Daben have always been players I look up to very much. When I was young, the room was full of their posters, and I dreamed of being defensive monsters like them. So, I will definitely try my best to catch them. I I don’t know how many more times I will win the Best Defensive Player award, but I will definitely try my best!" An Jie is holding his own trophy. The player sculpture on the trophy has his arms outstretched and his eyes are firm. It is simply a copy of An Jie on the court. .

The best defense? This is just the first step to Anjie's success this season. The Trail Blazers' 72 wins will undoubtedly make them a big killer in the regular season award competition!

The day after the game, the NBA officially announced the names of the winners of the best coach of the year.

George Ricard, a popular coach who is not liked by fans in other cities but has a high popularity in Portland, became the first coach in NBA history to win the second prize for two consecutive years.

Although Ricard once temporarily left due to physical reasons in the middle of the season, although the Spurs coach Popovich did a very good job this year. But when Ricard moved out the result of 72 wins, all other unfavorable factors will automatically be invalidated.

Although the selection of the best coach is all-round, the record must always be considered first. Ricard's 72 wins this season eclipsed the performance of other nominated coaches.

In two days, two regular season awards, the Trail Blazers have become the protagonists. Before the playoffs reached the final moments, the Trail Blazers had already begun to reap honors.

The other teams that are fighting are only jealous now. Everyone knows that the Trail Blazers will definitely win all important awards this season. Especially the center of Joakim Noah, who was able to get ahead but was overwhelmed by An Jie, felt even more aggrieved.

Now that all the players that should be taken have been taken, Portland fans only have two things to wait.

One is the regular season MVP trophy this season. Fans of the City of Roses believe that this season's block leader, rebounder leader and second-ranked scoring Anjie can continue to win this award. As for the second thing they are waiting for, there is no doubt that it is the second championship trophy since the Blazers entered the 21st century!

The Houston Rockets are now lingering, both players and fans have set their sights on the Western Conference Finals.

The San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder, these two teams are the only obstacles for the Blazers to rush out of the West!

※※※

On May 11, just a week after the Rockets advanced to the Western Conference Finals, they had to face the fact that they were about to be eliminated.

Seven days ago, five years later, the Rockets, who returned to the playoffs and made the first round, came to Portland with ambitions. However, today at his home court Toyota Center, the Rockets' locker room was deadly silent.

After three games, the Rockets players have lost the confidence to continue to compete with the Blazers. They just want to finish the game as soon as possible and start their vacation as soon as possible. In short, don't let everyone focus on their failure.

Howard walked casually in the player aisle of the Toyota Center. He just came out of the locker room and planned to go to the training ground to be quiet.

The impact of this series on Howard is really too great. In the first round of last year's playoffs, Howard was beaten all over by Angel. He still had an excuse because the Lakers lineup was extremely incomplete last year.

But this year, in the regular season, the Rockets killed the Quartet, but they still couldn't resist the impact of Anjie and the Trail Blazers. This time, Howard found that he had no excuses. The gap between him and Anjie is widening, and what Howard is thinking at the moment is how to make up the **** gap.

The "Warcraft" who led the Magic to the finals alone, the championship fire in his heart has not been extinguished yet.

"Boom!" Just as Howard lowered his head to think, he suddenly felt that he had hit someone. Looking up, a guy in a suit and leather shoes was sitting on the ground, and the box he was holding fell beside him.

"Sorry Mr. Dwight, I was a little too anxious." The young man in a suit and leather shoes stood up and apologized to Howard again and again.

"It's okay, walk more carefully in the future." Howard's sturdy body hits an ordinary person, how could he be troubled? But Howard is a little strange. This young man in a suit and shoes has never seen him in the Toyota Center before.

The young man hurriedly picked up the box on the ground. He closed his eyes first, drew a cross on his chest, and then suddenly opened his eyes and glanced into the delicate and sturdy box. Except for a large NBA logo that is more conspicuous, this box is nothing special. Howard didn't know what this guy was nervous about.

"Thank God! If I break it, my life will be over!" The young man was relieved, he stood up with the box, walked past Howard beside the young man and glanced into the box, then he hung down again. Lost his head.

Howard gradually squeezed his fists as he approached the training ground. He gritted his teeth and felt unwilling.

Pushing the door into the training ground, there was no one inside at this time. Howard kept his head down and clenched his fists and walked under the basketball hoop. In order to prevent the players from being injured due to inertia, the basketball hoop was specially wrapped in a thick layer of soft cushion.

Howard raised his head slightly, his eyes fixed on the cushion.

"Damn it!" Howard yelled in the deserted training ground and punched **** the cushion of the basketball stand!

"Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn!" Howard shouted continuously, shaking his fists with his hands alternately. The cushion of the basketball hoop was cracked, as if it could no longer withstand the damage.

Just now, Howard caught a glimpse of something that made him almost out of control in that exquisite little box-the regular season MVP trophy. The young man he has never met at the Toyota Center must be an official NBA staff member.

What does the MVP trophy mean here? It means that after the game is over, the league will use the time of the press conference to award An Jie! Because at this moment in this stadium, only Anjie meets the standard of MVP.

Howard was not reconciled, and An Jie threw himself far into the rearview mirror like this. Twice, Anjie has won this supreme honor twice. But Howard still can only see these in his dreams

Back then, An Jie was not qualified to be compared with himself. When he led the Magic to the Finals, Anjie was just a rookie who couldn't even make the playoffs. However, the gradually stronger opponents used actual results time and time again to exchange positions between the two.

In this empty training ground, Howard vented his emotions. The omnipotent "Warcraft" that ruled the penalty area has also completely disappeared from today...After all, the last high school student in NBA history has received too much stimulation and shock. .....

"Dwight passed the ball! He did not choose to attack the frame, but passed the ball! It was definitely an opportunity just now, even if Ann is next to him, he should try it!" Mike Brin couldn't believe it, Howard Actually will actively give up a dunk opportunity.

"Dwight has been unable to get excited today, maybe the Rockets' defeat is set, so Dwight has lost confidence."

The commentators certainly don't know why Howard is so low, because now the entire stadium is close to 20,000 people, and only Howard knows what will happen next.

The Blazers will defeat the Rockets smoothly, and Anjie will use this Dongfeng to proudly win the MVP trophy. Howard knew that he and the Rockets could only be the losers in this play.

The Rockets originally relied heavily on the "modern" two people, and now Howard has lost his energy, the Rockets really don't get any chance.

The game enters garbage time early ~www.NovelMTL.com~The commentators are even talking about how the Blazers will respond if they encounter the Spurs or the Thunder. This game has lost its meaning.

122 to 105, this is the Rockets' best performance at Toyota Center this season. The 4-0 sweep was a sharp contrast to the Rockets' and Lakers' tie-break results five years ago.

The shouts of McHale's dismissal still filled the court, and the Rockets players hugged each other one by one, no matter what the result, after all, everyone worked hard together for a whole year.

An Jie raised his arms, high-fiving both hands in the air. The performance of him and his teammates in this round of the series is worthy of recognition. And these guys who have been promoted again don't know yet, there will be a bigger surprise waiting for them at the press conference later.

This season's regular season MVP trophy has been waiting for his owner in the media reception room. The wish list of the Trailblazer fans this season, only the O'Brien Cup has not been realized!

But they believe that soon, the City of Roses will once again stand on top of the world! Because the King of Portland, wearing the No. 00 shirt, is always able to fulfill the wishes of his people... Mobile users, please browse and read for a better reading experience.
