The NBA started with helping Iverson win the championship

Chapter 373 Xiao Hua Makes a Big Death

At this moment, the main character Li Xun's expression is still calm.

In fact, he had already expected that he would not be able to win DPOY consecutively.

What a joke, if I keep playing for 20 years, I can't get all the DPOY for these 20 years, right?
In fact, I have already won seven DPOYs in a row, which is quite difficult.

It is rare in the world for other players to get three DPOYs in a row.

So Li Xun can understand the difficulty of the alliance, it's fine if he doesn't get this DPOY.

It can also be seen from this that Li Xun is definitely not an unreasonable person.

And under normal circumstances, this year's DPOY was actually taken by Green, and now it is considered to be returned to the original owner.

Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was somewhat serious, Li Xun took the lead in applauding with a smile, and then waved at Green.

This can be regarded as a statement, expressing Li Xun's attitude of not caring about this matter.

Only then did Green heave a sigh of relief, as long as Li Xun has no objections.

Fans probably still have big opinions, but that doesn't matter, as long as Li Xun has no opinion.

Next came the selection of the best team of the year.

Jokic, Li Xun and Paul were directly selected for a round.

In fact, Paul has basically lost the qualifications to enter the first team in the past few years, but now this season, after all, he has played a record with the team. Compared with the two, it is better to let him enter the first team than to let Owen enter the first team.

In Jokic's words, the current status of the league is getting higher and higher.

Up and down the Knicks, whether it is the owner Dolan or the fans, their gratitude to Li Xun, apart from the upcoming three consecutive championships, the greatest gratitude is Jokic.

Jokic is really too strong, and his defense is not the top, but he can't fault it at all in other aspects.

Super giant at a glance!
Li Xun is equivalent to giving the Knicks a superstar for nothing, which also makes the Knicks have a core pillar for at least the next ten years or so.

Then pickled peppers were selected for the second team.

The UAE was selected for the third team.

A team's five starters, each of whom was selected to the best team, is definitely very rare in NBA history.

Generally, if three of them can be selected, it is already considered super powerful.

If four can be selected, it will definitely be a super overlord at the historical level.

This situation also happened in the early days of the NBA when there were very few teams. When the NBA expanded to 20 teams, it never happened.

Even in the Bulls Dynasty, there was no such thing as four players being selected for the best team.

The Knicks are an absolute exaggeration this year. They actually had five players selected to the best team.

All the people who came to participate in the ceremony gasped. Before they knew it, they witnessed history again.

After the announcement of the best lineup, the next step is the most valuable honor in this year's regular season.

Regular season MVP.

The bald Xiao Hua walked onto the stage with an unnatural expression on his face.

"I declare that the player who won the MVP of the 2016-2017 regular season is..."

"Russell Westbrook from the Oklahoma City Thunder."

The scene suddenly fell silent, truly silent.

It seemed that even the background music of the ceremony had been suspended.

Everyone suspects that they have auditory hallucinations. This year's MVP is not Li Xun?

Can this thing be snatched by others?
You must know that this year the Knicks played the only season in NBA history that won both the regular season and the playoffs.

In this case, he couldn't even get an MVP?

Many people wondered if Xiao Hua's brain had gotten into water, and he regarded Li Xun's name as Westbrook.

However, this possibility is very small. Westbrook has a long list of names, and it is impossible to read it wrong.

Li Xun smacked his lips, this matter is a bit interesting.

This season he led the Knicks to a complete victory. Logically speaking, this MVP must be in his pocket, and there is no doubt about it.

But if you look deeper, it's not that this MVP cannot be given to Westbrook.

After all, Westbrook has averaged 32 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists per game this year.

And Li Xun's statistics this year are actually not very eye-catching, only averaging about 22 points, 14 rebounds and 7 assists per game.

It's not that Li Xun can't play Westbrook's average per game.

Reasonably speaking, as long as Li Xun wants to, let alone 32 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists, he can do 50 points, 15 rebounds and 15 assists.

The reason why the data is not particularly luxurious now is that Li Xun gave up the opportunity to other players in the team.

Needless to say, Jokic, young people need performance opportunities.

As for Pickled Pepper and Paul, they are both firefighters and guests.

Mr. Li Xun will not really hold all the data in his own hands, so that the data of these two guests will be greatly reduced.

For example, Paul's data has shrunk to an average of seven or eight points and four or five assists per game.

Pickle's data has shrunk to an average of only [-] points per game.

If Li Xun does not give them the ball, these situations are entirely possible.

Looking at the data, Westbrook is indeed more qualified to win this MVP than Li Xun.

But the selection of MVP is not only based on data, but also on a series of influencing factors such as team record.

This year's Thunder is only fifth in the Western Conference, with a record of 52 wins.

Can't say bad either.

But compared to the Knicks, there must be a difference.

Li Xun had already started to feel a little upset.

This DPOY and MVP, even if you give yourself one, you can accept it.

It's a good thing now, but he didn't give him both, Xiao Hua is going to die.

Although these honors are all selected by the media, the fool also knows that these honors are actually designated by the alliance.

Li Xun frowned and looked at Xiao Hua on the field, he wanted to see what Xiao Hua was thinking.

The audience has already started to talk a lot, and Westbrook is also there, he feels a little embarrassed.

If the Knicks win about 65 games this year, then it is reasonable for him to win this MVP.

After all, the data is very strong.

Compared with the Knicks, the team's record is not particularly bad, only a dozen wins away.

But the situation is different now, the Knicks are winning the season, 82 wins.

What about Thunder?
It has only 52 wins, 30 less than the Knicks.

Regardless of whether it is the East or the West, if the penultimate team has these 30 more wins, it is enough to ensure that they will enter the playoffs.

Li Xun didn't leave the scene directly, he still has this kind of demeanor.

When the awards ceremony was over, Li Xun was immediately surrounded by reporters as soon as he walked out of the hall.

"Li, what do you think of this year's MVP selection?"

"During the live broadcast, many fans felt that this MVP was shady, what do you think?"

"Do you think Russell is qualified to win this year's MVP?"

"Missing DPOY, will you feel unhappy?"

"Do you think you are the most qualified player to get DPOY and MVP?"

A group of reporters questioned Li Xun like a cannonball.

Li Xun pulled Abby, squeezed the reporter away with his strong arms, and walked away.

These reporters are asking questions knowingly, and whoever they are, they will definitely not be happy in the face of this situation.

Next, when Green and Westbrook came out, they also became the targets of reporters.

"Draymond, you took a DPOY honor from Li Xun tonight."

"This is also the first time in the last eight years that a player other than Li Xun has won DPOY. Do you think your defense has surpassed Li Xun?"

"The positions of the two of you overlap. If you meet Li Xun, do you have the confidence to lock Li Xun with defense?"

"Draymond, who do you think is better in defense, you or Li Xun?"

Green's scalp tingled when asked by these reporters.

It was literally throwing him on the fire.

Are you kidding me, compare your defense with Li Xun?Isn't that funny?

In addition, although I am indeed in the same position as Li Xun, both are combo strikers, but why should I lock Li Xun to death?

Li Xun was so easily locked up?
It is so easy to be locked up, how did the eight consecutive championships come about?

Green has faced Li Xun many times over the years, and he can actually feel that Li Xun missed his old teammates and did not kill him.

Otherwise, it would be like a child's play for him to cut [-] or [-] points off his own head.

"First of all, I have never said that my defense is better than Li Xun."

"In fact, I didn't even know I could get DPOY before I came here."

"In the same era as Li Xun, I don't believe that any player would have any extravagant expectations for DPOY."

"Secondly, although I overlap with Li Xun, I don't have the ability to lock Li Xun."

"To be precise, on this earth, since the day humans appeared, it is impossible for any human beings to be able to block Li Xun's attack."

"I don't think it's a shame to admit that I'm not as good as Li Xun."

"Finally, I want to declare that Li Xun is more qualified than me for this DPOY. If the jury re-selects and returns this DPOY to Li Xun, I agree with both hands."

Green, who has been looking at him with no brains, has a particularly bright mind tonight.

There is only one thing to say.

Maybe he was also a little worried.

Li Xun was not angry at first, but when he didn't get the MVP, Green noticed that his face was a little upset.

Once Li Xun is upset, something big will happen.

Based on Green's understanding of Li Xun, next season's Li Xun will definitely make some earth-shaking movements.

He definitely would not expect Li Xun to score seven or eighty points on the head of his new DPOY.

After speaking, Green also pushed aside the group of reporters and fled the scene.

Westbrook was also surrounded.

"This season, my teammates and I worked very hard, although the final result failed to win the championship."

"Actually, I am also very surprised by the MVP this time."

"Li Xun has won the regular season MVP for seven consecutive years, plus he led the Knicks to a complete victory this season."

"I don't think it's just me, any player feels that this honor will belong to Li Xun."

"But now that it's awarded to me, I seem to have nothing to do."

After all, Westbrook shrugged helplessly.

MVP is not a trivial honor.

Get one, and you can directly increase your historical status by a large margin.

A player with MVP and a player without MVP are definitely two levels of players.

At least for Westbrook, this MVP is quite important.

At least it can prove that even without Durant, Westbrook can achieve a career.

Westbrook definitely couldn't say something like Green just asked the jury to re-elect.

What if it is really re-elected?
Then find someone to reason with.

Because this awards ceremony was broadcast live, fans all over the world have already known that Li Xun missed two heavyweight honors.

Some fans were very indignant.

Are you kidding me, the winning team can't get the MVP?

Li Xun's defense can't get DPOY?

Some fans expressed their understanding. After all, some of the honor should be given to others. Li Xun can't take it all by himself. That's not a good thing.

The NBA has always been like this, if you can't make a deal, you can't make a deal.

There are still some fans who are looking forward to the start of the next season. Maybe Li Xun will respond to tonight's awards ceremony with a strong performance.

After Li Xun returned to his residence, the anger in his heart had almost disappeared.

This year's MVP was not given to me. The league was indeed able to find a perfect reason. After all, there is indeed a gap between my own data and Westbrook.

That being the case, next season will give the league a tough one.

Three days later, the league draft officially began.

The 2016 draft, judging from the current situation, many people think it is a small year in a small year.

After all, the best rookie is only averaging 9.4 points per game.

If this is put in previous years, the second place in the list only averaged 9.4 points per game, which would have been called parallel imports.

After a small year, it is often a big year, so this year's draft still has many teams paying special attention to it.

The Knicks have already made a verbal deal with the Lakers. The No. [-] pick in the hands of the Lakers now belongs to the Knicks.

"Li, why don't we take this second pick and choose Zhao Jiwei."

"It just so happens that Paul will return to the Los Angeles Clippers in the new season."

"Our team lacks a point guard. Zhao Jiwei has watched all of Zhao Jiwei's games in the past year, and his performance is quite mature. I don't think he will lose to Nash at his peak."

Old Hornacek suggested to Li Xun before the start of the draft.

The Zen master on the side nodded slightly. He knew that what the old Hornacek said was too exaggerated.

What a joke, how can a new melon egg be comparable to the peak Nash.

But Zhao Jiwei's performance this year is indeed good enough.

It just so happens that the Knicks are short of point guards next, so it would be a very suitable choice to win Zhao Jiwei.

Li Xun shook his head, this second pick, he had already booked to use it to take Tatum.

Because of the template, Zhao Jiwei's current strength is of course possible, and he can definitely gain a firm foothold in the NBA.

But he is suitable to go to that kind of weak team to experience and collect statistics, not to come to a team like the Knicks.

Paul's departure will indeed make the Knicks temporarily lack a suitable point guard.

But this is not a big problem, because in the next offseason, many first-line stars among point guards will be free agents.

The Knicks definitely don't have to worry about point guards.

For example, both Rose and Curry will enter the free market, even if they cannot be won, there are also first-line point guards such as Rondo and Lowry.
