When Xiao Hua announced the final award, he reviewed the glorious history of the NBA for a while, and then invited O'Neal, Mutombo, Mourning, David Robinson, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, five great centers, to make a collective appearance on stage!

"Skyhook" gave a speech and invited the most important person - the winner of the first annual Lifetime Achievement Award:

Russell staggered onto the stage, counted five people on his fingers with humor, and said: "I can still kick your ass (I can hit five)."

The old man's words directly amused the audience. Afterwards, the old man said a series of words of thanks, and the audience was also moved and applauded continuously.

Ye Yingjie also applauded cooperatively off the court. This giant has made great contributions to the development of the NBA, and the relationship between the two is also good!
The next award is the Sixth Man of the Year, and the shortlisted candidates are Iguodala (Warriors), Belinelli (Glory) and Louis Williams (Raptors)!

Ye Yingjie remembers that Lu Wei will win the best sixth man in the future, and his offensive firepower is really fierce!
In his acceptance speech, Lu Wei said: "In the Raptors, this has been an incredible year. I thank the boss, coaches, and teammates for believing in me. They have made my job a lot easier."

Then it was Wiggins who took the stage to accept the award. It was easy for him to win the best rookie!

Although LaVine performed well in the latter part of the season, there is still a gap with Wiggins. If he wants to kill Wiggins, the new dunk king obviously needs to continue to work hard!
Waiting to be on stage next is the Bulls' new core Butler, who won the Most Improved Player Award!

In the end, Warriors coach Cole won. After Cole took charge of the coach, the Warriors won the first record in NBA history with 75 wins and 7 losses this season!

Under Cole's transformation, the Warriors have achieved a frightening reputation, and the "Five of Death" will win almost every game.

勇士队攻防两端都极其出色，他们单赛季投进1077个三分（史上最多），场均得分114.9分是自1991-92赛季以来最高。进攻效率（每100回合112.5分）、投篮命中率（48.7%）、三分球命中率（41.6%——史上第2高）和助攻（28.9次）都排在本赛季常规赛各队之首。防守端，勇士队每100回合失100.9分，并列第4。

In his acceptance speech, Cole joked: "Usually getting this award is not a good thing."

As we all know, "Best Coach" is a cursed award, and most of the people who have won it have not had good results.

Since the 95-96 season, a total of 17 coaches have won the throne of the best coach. However, the teams of these best coaches often capsize in the playoffs, and examples of first-round exits abound.

In the 03-04 season, the Grizzlies coach Hubie Brown led the team to a record of 50 wins and 32 losses, but they finally failed in the first round; two seasons later, in the 05-06 season, Mavericks coach Avery Johnson led The team won the first place in the Western Conference, but suffered a black eight and missed the second round... The fate of the best coaches became worse and worse.

In addition to the team's poor performance in the playoffs, the coach who won the best coach will often take charge and leave.

Grizzlies coach Hubie Brown was forced to resign after only leading the team to play 12 games in the second year of the award. In addition, Mike Brown and George Karl were both fired due to poor playoff records.

The people who can break the curse of the best coach are Popovich, Thibodeau and Stevens.Mr. Bobo relies on GDP, Thibodeau and Stevens... everyone understands it!

Afterwards, Cole pretended to have lingering fears and said: "Fortunately, the best coach is awarded after the season. Otherwise, maybe I will be out of the first round, or I will be fired directly."

Cole's words caused bursts of laughter at the scene, Cole is indeed very humorous!

The next person to receive the award was finally Ye Yingjie's turn!
Ye Yingjie won the best defensive player again after a year!
Although the defensive data is not as good as last year, Ye Yingjie's performance on the defensive end is obvious to all!

This season Ye Yingjie was able to get the league's first 2.4 steals and the league's seventh 1.9 blocks!
At the same time, Ye Yingjie's defensive plus/minus (6.13) ranks first in the league, his defensive victory contribution (5.9) ranks first, and the number of opponents' passes destroyed (4.5) also ranks first.

Although Ye Yingjie put a lot of energy on the offensive end this season, he still performed extremely well on the defensive end with his strong physical fitness and awareness!

Finally... As the most important award in the NBA this season, the MVP is presented by NBA President Adam Silver himself!
