Chapter 296 MVP History
On the morning of the 9th, the league announced the date for the MVP.

If He Zhongqiu can win the MVP again, this will be his second MVP.

At the same time, he will create a historical record and become the first player to win the MVP award for three consecutive seasons in the NBA.

No one has ever won MVP in the first three seasons of his career.

No one has ever won two MVPs in the first three seasons of their career.

TNT TV station will broadcast the show live, announcing the MVP rankings starting from number ten onwards.

10th place, Ray Allen

Ninth place, Wade.

Eighth place, LeBron James.

"LeBron James has not yet tasted the playoffs since entering the league, while Wade has made it to the second round for two consecutive years. Why is he ranked ahead of Wade?"

"The MVP selection requirements state that the team's performance is the most important indicator, and personal data is secondary. Are those who voted for him blind?"

"Everyone knows that someone wants to support him."

When this was announced, there was already an uproar in front of the TV, and fans on NBA forums on the Internet had already started to criticize.

"The Cavaliers' roster is too bad. If they give LeBron a Shark, he can also enter the second round."

"This is a result of media selection, which I believe is fair."

Of course, there are also many fans who support LeBron James, after all, his personal data is better.

Next, seventh place is McGrady of the Rockets, sixth is Iverson, and fifth is Nash.

"Oh!"

At Nash's home, he and his wife hugged each other.

At the age of 31, this is the first time he has entered the top ten of the MVP rankings, and he is directly ranked fifth, ahead of two super guards, Maddie and Iverson.

Next, Tim Duncan is fourth and Nowitzki is third.

When this was announced, basically everyone knew that there were only two people left for the first and second place, Shaquille O'Neal, and Wolverine He Zhongqiu.

Miami, O'Neal's home, he hopes to get this MVP.

Because he only has one MVP, which is the highest level of hard honor, he has rarely won it, and his peak period has passed, so he will have almost no chance of getting this honor in the future.

Of course, he knew that this was wishful thinking, because whether it was the team record or personal data, Wolverine was better than him.

The next moment, the second place name appeared on the TV screen: Miami Heat, Shaquille O'Neal.

"That kid has two MVPs in three seasons. I'm so envious!" He couldn't help but sigh when he saw his name.

"cheers!"

The first place has not been announced yet, but everyone in He Zhongqiu's home has already raised their glasses.

There was no one else, except him and Philip, who were the workers and security personnel hired by the family, to help him celebrate.

The next moment, the name of the first place appeared on the TV screen: Knicks, Happy Zhongqiu.

"Red envelopes!"

Happy, he prepared some red envelopes, five hundred dollars each, and gave them to everyone in the family.

He Zhongqiu's cell phone and the landline at home both started ringing at this moment, and the text message alerts kept ringing.

He called Yang Xue, told her the news of winning the MVP again, and said, "Sister Xue, have you found a concubine for me?"

"You are so beautiful! You think about having three wives and four concubines every day."

"Sister Xue, as the first wife, this is your right."

“I don’t want this power.”

"No, that won't work. You have to have it."

"By the way, Wu Kebo's Chengtian Entertainment Media Company was established yesterday. Its headquarters is in Shanghai, and a subsidiary will also be established in Yanjing."

"Where's Wang Jinhua?"

"Her contract at Huayi will end in August. However, some of the big-name stars under her are broken. Hu Jun, Liang Jiafei, Xia Yu, Ren Chuan, and Yang Ziqiong have already agreed with me that they will form a studio with our company."

"Oh, where are Liu Jialing and his wife?"

"I just received a contact from Mr. Long Wu of Hua Xia Xing. Hua Xia Xing is interested in developing inland China and opening a company in Yanjing. He hopes to cooperate with us.

Mr. Long told me personally that Liu Jialing and his wife have reached a cooperation agreement with Wu Kebo and will open a studio in cooperation with Chengtian Entertainment. "

"Haha, what a wise choice! Sister Xue, let's pick some of the big names in Wang Jinhua's hands. Don't end up like Feng Xiaogang, who is not on the same path as us."

"I see. By the way, Wang Fang talked to Feng Xiaogang, and Director Feng is willing to revise the script, including any changes that are not in line with history.

I think he also wants to cooperate with us. After all, there is no other partner like us in China. "

"That's good. Find two people who are familiar with history to read the script, and ask the producer to keep a close eye on it. The same goes for the post-editing process. Don't let him smuggle in his own ideas."

The two chatted for more than ten minutes and agreed that Yang Xue would come over after they made it to the finals.

An hour later, He Zhongqiu finally dealt with this wave of celebrations and then made a phone call to Comrade Dayao.

"Dayao, where are you?" he asked.

"I'm packing my luggage and going home," said Dayao.

"Has the agent talked to the team?" He Zhongqiu asked.

"Let's talk about it today. I don't care. I'll go back to China first." Yao Ming said.

"That's fine. Out of sight, out of mind. This saves the management from bothering you." He Zhongqiu said.

"Yeah, that's what I think," Dayao said.

"Dayao, remember to bring a strength trainer and a nutritionist back to China. Losing weight requires professional guidance."

"Already invited."

"Also, Yao Ming, were you watching TV just now? TNT TV."

"I didn't see it, what's the matter?"

"Ahem, nothing much, I just won the MVP again, breaking the record, the first person to retain the MVP title in the first three seasons."

"Did you call here just to show off?"

"Yeah, why else would you call?"

"Beep beep..."

"Hang up again? You bastard, are you really not going to let me show off?"

……

In the afternoon, Zhang Heli and four other people arrived in New York, and He Zhongqiu invited them over.

"Congratulations, Zhongqiu, you have defended the MVP title in the first three seasons. You have made MVP history." Zhang Heli came in and shouted with a smile on his face.

"congratulations!"

Yu Jia and others also sent their congratulations with a smile.

"Give out red envelopes! Come on, take them. I'm happy today."

He Zhongqiu took out a few more red envelopes and stuffed one into each person's pocket, and they were not allowed to refuse.

"It's Mid-Autumn Festival, are you still giving out red envelopes now that you've defended your title?" Yu Jia took the red envelope and joked.

"Yes, the red envelope will be doubled, plus a two thousand dollar Walmart shopping card." He Zhongqiu said without hesitation.

"Wow!"

The crowd cheered.

After dinner, Mary prepared lots of snacks, as well as some cold beer and tea.

This Mexican aunt is very smart and willing to learn. She has learned many Chinese dishes, even braised dishes. Now she no longer works here for He Zhongqiu, and there will be no problem for her to open a Chinese restaurant.

At 8:30 pm, the second round began, with the Heat facing the Pistons at home. "I'm optimistic about the Heat, Ben should not be able to defend the Sharks." Zhang Heli said with a smile.

"I think it's easier for the Pistons to defend against the Big Shaq than against Mid-Autumn. The Big Shaq is waiting for double-teaming in the low post, and he can't run away," said Yu Jia.

"Hey, Yu Jia, now that you mention it, it does make sense. Haha!" Zhang Heli said with a laugh.

"Come, eat and drink. This braised pork trotter is good, and this lobster is also good. Don't just watch the game."

After He Zhongqiu greeted them, he said, "The Heat and the Pistons are both like that. There's nothing to watch in the game. Whoever makes it to the Eastern Conference Finals, I'll slap them to death."

"Haha..." Everyone laughed.

In this game, the Pistons defeated the Heat away from home with a score of 90:81, a narrow victory of 9 points.

Under the strong defense of the Pistons, Wade of the Heat made only 25 of 7 shots, with a hit rate of only 28%. He made no three-pointers and made 1 of 2 free throws, scoring only 2 points.

Eddie Jones was the best performer for the Heat, making frequent breakthroughs and efficiently scoring 22 points and 8 rebounds with a shooting percentage of 69.2%.

O'Neal had 20 points and 5 rebounds, but lost control of the rebounds due to the competition from the two Wallaces.

Only three of them scored in double digits on the Heat team. Only two of the four substitute players scored 12 points in total, and two scored zero points.

The Pistons also had 9 players on the court, and three of the four substitutes scored zero points, but the other six all scored in double digits.

The two Wallaces combined to contribute 23 rebounds, and Rasheed Wallace contributed a luxurious performance of 20+10.

Zhang Heli shook his head and sighed: "The Pistons only defended two points, O'Neal and Wade, and kept their scoring and efficiency below the standard, and then won with their stable offense and rebounding."

"Larry Brown is still at a certain level," said Yu Jia.

"Don't praise Larry Brown! I can beat him in the NBA and in the Olympics. If you want to praise someone, praise me," said He Zhongqiu.

"Ha ha……"

A group of people laughed to death.

On the 10th, the G1 game of the three-game second-round series.

In the morning, Dayao called and said he was about to board the plane.

"Congratulations, you have made history."

"Thank you!"

At 8:10, David Stern handed the MVP trophy to He Zhongqiu.

"Oh ho!"

When He Zhongqiu raised his arms, there was a burst of enthusiastic cheers from Madison Square Garden.

Afterwards, the Knicks easily defeated the Celtics led by Paul Pierce and Antoine Walker and won the G1 game.

Wade broke out, scoring 40 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks, making 28 of 15 shots, with a hit rate of 53.6%, without a single three-pointer, and making 10 of 10 free throws, with unlimited lethality.

O'Neal performed averagely, with 17 points and 10 rebounds, and his rebounding performance was better than the previous game.

The reason why the Pistons lost this game was not only because of problems with their defense, but also because their offense was not well played. The team's shooting percentage was only 38.3%, lower than the Heat's 46.2%.

On the 13th, the Knicks defeated the Celtics for the second time and achieved consecutive home wins.

On the same night, the Spurs were defeated by the Mavericks at home, tied 1-1.

O'Neal, despite his fat body, also scored 24 points and 6 rebounds.

Barkley, who was commentating on the game, said after the game: "As far as I know, Mr. Pat Riley originally created the WO combination with O'Neal as the core.

But it is very obvious that Wade's progress is too fast. He has replaced O'Neal and become the real core and the leader of the offense. "

No. 15, 82:101, the Knicks beat the Celtics for the third time.

In this away game, Nash's personal offensive state had problems. He made only 13 of 4 shots and scored only 9 points.

Fortunately, his organizational and passing abilities are still there, and he got 14 assists.

He Zhongqiu stood up, scored 45 points with a shooting percentage of 60.5%, grabbed 17 rebounds, made 6 blocks and 3 steals, and led the team to the match point.

Paul Pierce was very frustrated after losing the match point. He played very well in this game, scoring 35 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, but the team did not lead once and there was no hope of winning at all.

In another game, the Spurs defeated the Mavericks away and took a 2-1 lead.

On the 16th, the Pistons won at home and tied the game with the Heat -.

In the end, the Pistons' big five defeated the Heat with their strong defense, 88:82, a narrow victory of 6 points, and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals.

After the second round, the league announced the matchups and dates for the Eastern Conference and Western Conference Finals.

Eastern Conference Finals: Knicks vs. Pistons (starting on the 24th, the former team has home advantage)

Western Conference Finals: Spurs vs. SuperSonics (starting on the 23rd)
On the morning of the 23rd, the league announced the best lineup and best defensive lineup.

He Zhongqiu doesn't care about the best team. He is bound to be in the first team. What he cares about is the best defensive team. He has not even been in the defensive team, not even the second team.

The second defensive team should be a sure thing this time, but the first defensive team is a bit problematic because Ben Wallace won the DPOY and he may be able to enter the first defensive team.

Sure enough, his name appeared in the second team of the best defense that was announced later.

"Second team is second team, and I will try to get into first team next year."

He was still a little depressed. Why should the short guy Ben Wallace, who was able to beat him in his rookie season, take away his one-game playing time?
His steals and blocks are better than Ben Wallace's, as are his rebounding. He is better at one-on-one defense, but in terms of assisting and helping out, Ben Wallace is better than him.

He was indeed included in the next best lineup.

First team All-NBA, second team All-Defensive, not bad, but far inferior to Duncan.

Duncan was selected to the first team in his second season, and has been selected to the first team for five consecutive times, for a total of six times.

And he has been in this game for three seasons and has yet to be named to the first team.

Even Garnett was named to the All-NBA First Team three times.

However, Garnett did not make the All-NBA Team or the All-Defensive Team in the first three seasons. He only made the All-NBA Third Team in the fourth season and the All-Defensive First Team in the fifth season.

In any case, he will have to work harder in the future to catch up with these offensive and defensive guys in terms of these hard honors.

“Next year, invest a little more on defense.”

He made up his mind to make it into the double first team next year.
