NBA: Start with a Kareem Abdul-Jabbar template card

Chapter 221 Double MVP
"23 points and 12 rebounds, this is Chen Xiao's answer in this game. Except for 2 or 3 random long-distance shots in the first two quarters, Chen Xiao almost hit every shot he took near the basket and the paint area. In Kobe's case, , James and other superstars, Chen Xiao is the one who shines in the audience!" Yu Jianan's delighted voice rang as the end bell of the game rang.

The All-Star Game has come to an end, and the stars are chatting and laughing as they gather towards the midfield. Just look carefully to see whether the stars' smiles are nervous or calm.

"Congratulations, Man, Houston is cheering for you today." Harden raised his hand in front of Chen Xiao and knocked on Chen Xiao's left arm, congratulating him with a smile.

Obviously, in the eyes of Houston host Harden, the last and most important spoils of this All-Star Game will belong to the Eastern giant in front of him.

"Thank you, James." Chen Xiao happily accepted Brother Deng's congratulations, but looking down from above, Brother Deng's hairstyle today is really ugly, with a bunch of indescribable "protrusions" gathered along the midline of his head.

Passing by Brother Deng, Chen Xiao saw Kobe and Popovich having a lively conversation in front of him. Both of them are assists that Chen Xiao may win honors in this game.

In the last half of the quarter, Kobe scored 2 blocks and 1 steal for James, which made the little emperor disgraced. The final basic data of 19+3+5 was a bit mediocre, and the sensory score that affected the votes of neutral fans was greatly reduced. This kind of Even under such circumstances, if you still vote for James, it can only be said that you are a die-hard fan.

Popovich's final "calmness" and "sit back and watch" indirectly allowed Griffin to provide the last assist for the Eastern Conference's victory under the pressure of Chen Xiao, and allowed Lao Deng to rest until the end in the second half of the quarter, allowing Chen Xiao to Xiao easily picked up the offensive rebound, shook his little hand, and scored two points.

After shaking hands and chatting with the two respected "old seniors", Chen Xiao looked up and saw about 20 red and blue players surrounded by a flood of reporters and staff.

The lights only illuminated this small area of ​​​​the field, and the fans shrouded in darkness stood up one after another, looking forward to the final ring.

“陈逍23分12篮板，末节11分关键前场篮板二次进攻，他不动声色拯救了一度站在悬崖边的东部；梅罗22分11篮板，他接到保罗·乔治的三分球至关重要；D·Wade23分和陈逍并列东部得分第一。这是东部取胜的三位最大功臣。”巴克利掰着手指头一脸郑重逐一列举道。

"If we follow the rules of the previous All-Star Game, AMVP will be selected from the above three, but today's new and different All-Star Game also retains a lot of opportunities for the losers.

Kevin Durant, who scored a game-high 30 points, was the leading scorer in this game. Chris Paul was the third person after Magic Johnson and Thomas to score 20 points and 15 assists in the All-Star Game. Griffin’s incredible assists and dunks on every ball in this game, his mesmerizing alley-oop cooperation, and his ruthless three-pointers once established a great reputation for the Western Conference. leading advantage.

Of course, since the fans vote, even Kobe Bryant and LeBron James, whose statistics are not obvious, will be candidates that cannot be ignored.

Kobe only scored 11 points in this game and tied his All-Star Game career-high 8 assists. However, Kobe, who has accumulated a lot of honors, still achieved many historical records in his limited on-court activities:
14 All-Star starts, surpassing Jordan Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to become the first player in history;

37 steals, tying Jordan for the most in history.

The near-double-double data was mediocre, but Kobe, who single-handedly blocked James in the last half of the quarter and increased his intensity on the court, will surely make many NBA fans willing to vote for him.

As for LeBron, who is at a disadvantage in the matchup, he can strive for his third AMVP honor in next year's All-Star Game. " Buckley said with a smirk.

At this moment, the lights dimmed, leaving only the light in the center of the court.

A five-pointed star-shaped podium with an All-Star pattern printed on it has been placed in the center of the court by the staff. Chen Xiao, who was stopped by the staff in advance, has also taken a step forward from the queue of All-Star players standing side by side and stood in front of the stage. stand.

The live broadcast of the fans in front of the screen came back. In the center of the screen was Chen Xiao, who was poking his head at the top of the screen. Next to him, President Stern was smiling righteously, and Ernie Johnson was walking out of the studio with a microphone to act as the awards presenter.

"There are no surprises, no surprises, the winner, the director's comeback with 11 points in the fourth quarter, and the popularity of the top vote-getter. These are not MVPs. They are pure shady things."

"Whoo~~~~"

The fans who couldn't get excited made a few comments and quickly calmed down to wait for the moment when the result was announced. Although Chen Xiao was already standing in front of the trophy, he still had to go through the process.

"This is the last important moment of the 37th NBA All-Star Game. Next, I would like to invite President Mr. Stern to speak." As the host, Ernie handed the topic to Stern after the game.

The trophy is right in front of him, and Chen Xiao can't help but feel excited. The Rookie Game MVP is an appetizer, so the crystal AMVP trophy that is shining under the lights at this moment is definitely a good delicacy.

"Thank you to the sponsors, thank you to the host city, and thank you to the outstanding athletes running on the field." Chen Xiao kept smiling and listened to the silver-haired Stern's speech. If he wins the award soon, we have to support him, otherwise we will wait. I don’t know what I’m asking, what do I mean by hesitating?
After a series of thanks and nonsense about "having a high position", the drama comes.

"The MVP of the 2013 NBA All-Star Game in Houston is..." Stern showed a slightly sly smile, "Obviously, it's the person next to me, another giant who represents the East - Chen Xiao!
20+10, standard All-Star insider data. It is obviously not easy to obtain standard inside statistics on a stage like the All-Stars. In the fourth quarter, he scored 6 points in less than 11 minutes, leading the Eastern All-Star team. After struggling to catch up from the edge of a cliff that was nearly double digits behind, in the end, with his cooperation, Kemba Walker, another All-Star player in Charlotte this year, completed a fatal blow.

He can attack with his back on his own, and he can pick off offensive rebounds with sufficient strength. The second offense is his specialty, as well as a series of tasks such as pick-and-roll and screen to help his teammates. In this league, as a first-year player The rookie is at his best as an All-Star big man.

This year we eliminated the center position, and Chen Xiao, who shined in Houston, gave us a blow. Obviously, there are many outstanding center players in the league. Maybe we are wrong? "Stern smiled narrowly, and his self-mockery made the whole audience burst into laughter.

"The last time I presented an award to a center was in Phoenix in 09. Shaq and Kobe shared this honor. I was honored to witness the two of them lift that trophy together. Going forward, it's still Shaq. O'Neal, Los Angeles in 04. I believe that after O'Neal, Chen Xiao will be synonymous with center in the new decade.

In Houston, a city where his predecessor Yao Ming left countless footprints, he followed Yao Ming's path and once again conquered fans around the world. Congratulations, Chen Xiao. "Stern raised his head and gave Chen Xiao his final blessing. After the president's award ceremony was announced, the audience burst into applause for the Xinke AMVP. Chen Xiao looked around, and the applauding fans looked happy. Maybe just now Within two hours, he/she/X paid a certain amount of text message charges for Chen Xiao.

At the same time, the marketing and public relations director of the sponsor KIA, who had already stood next to the trophy in advance, raised the trophy and handed it to Chen Xiao at the right time, with a smiley blessing, "Congratulations, Chen Xiao."

It was this old boy who smiled a little obscenely. Chen Xiao responded with a smile, took the trophy, and raised it with both hands. Although Chen Xiao, who had won the Best of the Month and the MVP of the Rookie Game, was still a rookie, he was already familiar with the game.

"Chen Xiao, you are this year's No. [-] pick. You just entered the league half a year ago. Less than a year ago, you represented Duke University in the March Madness Championship. Today, you are in Houston to welcome... With the cheers and support of NBA fans around the world, winning AMVP, star among stars, how do you feel about this?" Ernie asked the first question, raising the microphone high.

"Thank you, give it to me, Ernie, I think it's not easy for you to lift it." Chen Xiao joked and took the microphone: "This is very dreamy, Where Amazing Happens, this is where miracles happen, two years ago, There is a deep gap between me and professional basketball. It is hard to imagine that I will stand on the highest stage of basketball in the world. A year ago, everything began to change. I wore the Blue Devils jersey at Duke, for myself and for my teammates. , running and fighting for Old K, and for the fans of Duke University. At this moment, I am facing the eyes of fans from all over the world in front of countless lights. It is so dreamlike." Chen Xiao's eyes and words changed from longing to disbelief. To acceptance, the changes along the way are obvious.

"Who is your idol? I heard it was TD? Right? How does it feel to compete with your idol and superstar players who you could only watch on TV?" Ernie asked.

"Yeah, Tim Duncan, he and the Spurs under the leadership of Coach Popovich have maintained outstanding competitiveness from the end of the last century to today, which I admire." After saying Duncan, he said "thank you" by the way. The old coach opposite said, "Tim, Kobe, Kevin, they are all the stars that I loved and imitated when I was growing up. Of course, as I get taller and taller, it is unlikely that I will play like No. 8 Kobe, but Post-ups will always be my favorite, and I learned a lot from Kobe, Tim, and other legendary big men in NBA history."

"Right, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, right?" Ernie answered, "This is the MVP, the 2013 NBA All-Star MVP, Chen~Xiao~!"

With a smile on his face, Chen Xiao lifted the trophy again to the sound of music that played at the right time, marking a successful conclusion to his first All-Star trip.

……

After the game, Chen Xiao, who won the All-Star MVP in one fell swoop and led the Eastern Conference team to complete a soul-stirring comeback, also quickly made the headlines of the sports pages of major newspapers and magazines in the country and the front pages of major basketball media.

"Turner Sports" used the title "Unprecedented, two All-Star honors in his rookie season - double MVP" as the title, spliced ​​a picture of Chen Xiao holding up the Rookie Game MVP and All-Star MVP at the same time as the cover, and sang praises for Chen Xiao.

"A rookie, a newcomer to the NBA world, has become an All-Star in his first season. This is already a rare achievement, not to mention winning the AMVP Star of Stars among all the superstars. This has been a success in the NBA for decades. Historically, only 'Big O' Robertson, who is known for his exaggerated statistics, has done it before. Even Wilt Chamberlain and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar have failed to accomplish such a feat.

And just this year, another Eastern giant entered the NBA as the No. [-] pick. In his first year, he shined in all kinds of ways. He became an All-Star starter, the vote leader, All-Star Rookie Game MVP, All-Star Game MVP, among other individual awards. In addition, he has won almost all the honors within his reach. "

"Sports Illustrated" also immediately replaced the original candidate and put Chen Xiao on the cover of the latest edition. Following the crazy three blue rains and the rookie wearing the No. [-] pick hat, Chen Xiao once again became the protagonist on the cover.

CBS, which has been paying attention to Chen Xiao since the NCAA, immediately carried out a large-scale report. Among all media, ESPN, which is the leader in NBA media resources, was naturally not left behind. However, its staunch supporters were laughed off in their words.

……

A trip to Houston was well worth it. Chen Xiao came back with a lot of money. Well, the trophy was a little bigger, otherwise he would have taken it back to Charlotte one by one.

The trip to Houston ends on the 15th, 16th and 17th, and the last day of the All-Star break is the 18th.

The basketball world is hit with another piece of heavy news in the aftermath of the All-Star Game. The protagonist is still a familiar name - Chen Xiao.

The Charlotte Spectrum Center attracted countless attention on this day without games. Chen Xiao and Michael Jordan held hands again.

However, at this moment, Jordan does not appear as a "basketball senior", "basketball god" or "Charlotte Bobcats owner". At this moment, he does not have an elite suit and ties, but wears sneakers, short-sleeves, and a It looks like a sports fan, but the Jumpman logo is eye-catching on every piece of sports equipment.

Behind the stage, similar to a press conference, a smiling Jordan and an equally smiling Chen Xiao sat down, chatting and laughing.

From before he was a rookie, Boss Qiao had "a keen eye to recognize heroes", to visiting the thatched cottage in search of talents, to witnessing Chen Xiao's growth and leading the Charlotte Bobcats to soar, and continued to talk about another proof of his vision a few days ago - Chen Xiao Winning double MVPs.

Boss Joe, who was in the midst of a conversation, did not forget to mention LeBron James a few more times. Before the game, Jordan thought that Kobe was bigger than James, which caused the league to sing and I came on the stage, and the public opinion was wild. In the final game, in the last half quarter Time, at least those 6 minutes, Jordan's words can be said to be penetrating and there is nothing wrong with them.

Look at my eyes, look at my judgment, eh, it’s so level, it’s hard to hide it.Qiao Shen looked proud and talked eloquently.

Taking this opportunity, Jordan talked about the past and the present, and he kept talking. Good guy, he was preparing to regain the sullenness he suffered from the Wizards in one fell swoop.

Isn't this where we were asked to come?Some young reporters couldn't hold themselves back.
