Basketball's No. 1 Anti-Fan

Chapter 360 2017 NBA Annual Awards Ceremony
After successfully picking Tatum with the fifth pick, the Kings immediately took Donovan Mitchell with the tenth pick.

With this, the Kings suddenly have the supernova combination of Mitchell, Tatum and Sabonis Jr.

If this were to happen in the world of One Piece, the highest and lowest ranking would also be a combination of Ace, Zoro and Hawkins.

If that's not enough to make a name for themselves, then the Kings are rotten to the core.

The draft soon came to the Cavaliers.

The Cavaliers had the No. 22 pick in the draft this year, which they ultimately used to select Kyle Kuzma out of the University of Utah.

From the perspective of Hansen, a time traveler, there are actually other better options for this pick, such as Jarrett Allen from the University of Texas and OG Anunoby from Indiana University.

The reason for giving up on them and choosing Kuzma is very simple. Kuzma's ceiling is not high, but his combat effectiveness is very strong.

After the Cavaliers traded for Wade last season, their salary has exceeded the luxury tax. Unless they trade him, it will be difficult to make any gains in the free market.

In this context, selecting ready-to-play rookies at the draft is a good way to strengthen the team.

The Cavaliers' choice was somewhat unexpected, and what Hansen didn't know was that after the Cavaliers made this choice, social media suddenly became lively.

Even Ajiali handed him her phone to look at.

"The Cavaliers have chosen the next 'Hansen.'"

This description in quotation marks also successfully attracted Han Sen's interest.

After clicking on the news, Han Sen was stunned for a moment and then did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Old fans should remember that before the draft, Hansen had never thought about joining the Cavaliers. In order to gain more haters, he once made a statement:
“霍华德系列赛场均5.3次犯规，6场比赛3场6犯离场，但是魔术队4比2淘汰骑士队。”

That’s right, classic fact-based slander.

That made him a LeBron hater in the eyes of LeBron fans, and led to a series of stories after he was selected by the Cavaliers.

Unexpectedly, eight years later, the Cavaliers selected another LeBron hater.

Because just after Kuzma was selected, a fan dug up a tweet he posted in 2012:
"LeBron is from the East but he decided to go South, his hairline went North but his mom went West, hahahaha!"

Just this one state has blackened James' decision, hair, and the friend mother door.

I have to say, in terms of the degree of LeBron haters, Hansen back then was not at the same level as Kuzma.

This guy is pure.

Of course, this matter has little to do with Han Sen.

After all, if Kuzma was a hater of Korea and was selected by himself, that would be exciting.

However, this kind of thing might have been possible a few years ago. After all, Han Sen did nothing at that time and just talked big.

But now, after Hansen had fulfilled all his empty talk, there was no way to criticize him anymore.

After the first-round draft, Hansen and Ajali left Brooklyn.

A few days later, they appeared in their best clothes at Basketball City Park at Port 36 in Manhattan to attend the 2017, the first NBA annual awards ceremony.

Han Sen arrived relatively late. When he appeared, the camera was focused on him first, causing cheers from the audience.

As the contemporary Jordan, Hansen now causes a sensation wherever he goes.

His seat was arranged very close to the front, but because the party had not started yet, many people stood up and came to greet him when he walked forward.

There were even people among these people that Han Sen didn't know would come, such as Wade.

After spending some time, Hansen finally did not get to his seat, but sat at Jokic's table first.

This guy had just finished a horse racing competition and was in a hurry to attend the award ceremony.

Here we have to mention the rules of this award ceremony, which can be said to be basically imitated from the Oscars ceremony in Hollywood, with three candidates for each award.

As for Jokic, he is a candidate for this year's Most Improved Player Award.

So as soon as Hansen sat down, Jokic told him that he had originally planned to come back in early July.

But when Han Sen asked him about horse racing, his expression suddenly changed like a Peking Opera, and he couldn't suppress the smile at the corner of his mouth.

This year Jokic did not go to the horse race himself, but chose a professional rider.

With professional riders and the best racehorses, they directly lapped the opponent in the final. It was so cool.

When they were almost done chatting, the award ceremony was about to begin, and Han Sen stood up and went to his table.

This year the host is not the three guys from TNT, but Canadian artist Aubrey Drake Graham.

Using a host with a talent for public speaking is obviously because they are afraid that the audience will find the show boring. After all, this is the first time the alliance has adopted this model.

Of course, the TNT Big Three, or more accurately the TNT Heavenly Group, plus Ernie Johnson, who had a very low presence, were broadcasting on the side.

After a series of foreshadowing and jokes, and even after mentioning events like the Big3, the award ceremony finally began.

Each award has a presenter. For example, the earliest Best Rookie award was presented by Grant Hill.

Last season's three best rookie candidates: Embiid (76ers), Brogdon (Bucks), and Jaylen Brown (Nets).

The final winner was Brown.

布朗上赛季在篮网场均出场达到30分钟，场均能够得到17.8分5.7板，投篮命中率和三分球命中率分别是45.1%和36.2%。

In "history", Brown didn't have much playing time after being selected by the Celtics, but he had plenty of opportunities with the Nets.

Embiid's statistics are better than Brown's, even amazing. He averaged 20.2 points and 7.8 rebounds per game. He is a rare rookie in recent years who can get 20+ in his rookie season.

However, he only played 31 games last season due to injury, and this sample size of games ultimately failed to win the judges' recognition.

After the best rookie is the best sixth man.

Originally Wade had this opportunity, but because he was a starter on the Bulls, he did not have enough games as a substitute.

The award was finally given to Louis Williams of the Rockets.

Williams averaged 18 points per game as the Rockets' sixth man last season and performed quite well.

What's interesting is that Williams hugged his two girlfriends on both sides before going on stage.

That's right, one of these two girlfriends is Ashley Henderson, who was Williams' first love in high school and has given birth to a son and daughter for Williams.

The other is Reese Mitchell, whom Williams began dating in 2014.

These two people never quarrel or make trouble and are still good sisters. Williams fully interprets what a real winner in life is.

After the Best Sixth Man award, the Best Teammate award is presented.

This type of award is different from previous awards that represent honor. It represents more of an alliance recognition. There are no candidates and it is directly appointed.

When the presenter of this award appeared, it caused a sensation at the scene because he was Kobe.

When the award was announced, it was also explained why Kobe was the presenter.

Because the winner was Wade.

The former No. 1 point guard in the league has retired and came to the scene to present the award to the former No. 2 guard. Wade took the trophy from Kobe after he came on stage and gave Kobe a deep hug, which triggered applause and cheers from the audience.

In fact, this award ceremony was previously criticized by many fans because the regular season awards were left until the end of the season, which was somewhat of a hindsight.

But judging from this arrangement, the alliance has put in a lot of effort in this regard.

However, Wade really deserves this award. Among the active players in the league, there is no better "good guy" than him.

After that, some season's best awards were added, including season's best assists, best blocks, and best dunks.

These awards are voted by fans.

Hansen and Jokic created the best offense of the season. It was against the Warriors. He and Jokic played pick-and-roll, and then Jokic received the ball and passed it to JR for a windmill dunk.

After these small prizes were awarded, the award ceremony entered the "half-time break".

At this time, as the prelude of "The Nights" sounded, a mix of clips appeared on the large LED screen on the scene.

Han Sen's attention was also attracted by the edited clips.

It was a lot of clips from ancient times, with shots of a young Kobe, Ray Allen, Iverson, Peja, Nowitzki, Carter, and Marbury on the court appearing one after another.

That was an era that had no intersection with Hansen, but it made him truly feel the era that existed at the beginning of the century.

But then the camera switched to scenes of these people growing old and retiring, making people feel the passage of time and the end of an era.

After this part is skipped, the live song performance will follow.

What made Han Sen a little speechless was that this medley was almost entirely rap performances.

It seems that singing, dancing, rap and basketball are tied together, and this is not unique to Tokyo University.

However, it was during this process that Harden created the famous scene of staring at the rap guest Nicki Minaj.

That fat ass is Mr. Ha’s favorite.

Han Sen had read TMZ gossip in his previous life, because Mina later wrote a new song called "Ball For Me", in which there was a line:
"My beauty shocked them, just like James Harden, drooling over me."

Harden can be said to have gotten something for free. After all, compared to Hansen, who was written into the song after their breakup, Harden just took a look at it.

The first award given out in the second half was the Sportsmanship Award, which was also very interesting.

The winner was Kemba Walker of the Hornets, and the award was presented to him by Wall of the Wizards.

You should know that there are quite a few "face-blind combinations" in the NBA, typical ones include Draymond Green and Brandon Bass, Crowder and Carroll, Livingston and Andre Miller, Butler and Jordan, etc.

The same goes for these two brothers.

So when Walker took the stage to accept the award, it was hard not to say that the league did it on purpose.

Next up is the Lifetime Achievement Award.

The famous scene in Hansen's mind where Russell pointed at the five centers and said he would kick their asses also appeared here.

After a series of "small prizes" as a prelude, the highlight of the second half gradually arrived.

Three candidates for best coach: Malone, Stevens, and Popovich.

The final award was announced and Ma Long was named the best coach.

This is the first big prize the Cavaliers got tonight.

Ma Long also seemed very excited. After receiving the trophy, he even raised it above his head.

That’s the energy of a young coach.

However, despite his energy, Malone still has a high emotional intelligence.

He thanked his wife, management, teammates, and then highlighted Han Sen, completing a textbook speech.

After the best coach award, some smaller awards were inserted, such as best buzzer beater, best moment, etc.

Unfortunately, this award is only available this year. If it was last season, Han Sen’s “wait a minute” three-point buzzer-beater would have been a no-brainer.

After these smaller awards, the highlight comes next: Defensive Player of the Year.

This is the award that Hansen nominated as a candidate. Besides him, the rest are Leonard and Draymond Green.

The award presenter this time was Garnett.

In fact, we can already see something from the arrangement of this award presenter.

"The NBA's Most Valuable Defensive Player for the 2016-2017 season is... Hansen."

When the results came out, the scene was in an uproar.

Hansen's winning means that he became the second player after Howard to win the DPOY award three times in a row.

Han Sen was still somewhat surprised by this result.

It can only be said that the Cavaliers' defensive efficiency has greatly improved this season, and the league has no reason to use the reason of "aesthetic fatigue" to forcibly prevent Hansen from achieving this achievement.

When Han Sen came on stage, the cheers from the audience lasted for a long time.

After the cheers died down, Han Sen gave his acceptance speech, and his first sentence was very nerve-wracking.

“I didn’t actually prepare a speech to accept the award.”

After some appropriate jokes, he also focused on thanking his teammates.

The Cavaliers' defensive improvement this season is more due to lineup changes, and what he did is no different from the past.

But from this perspective, if Han Sen was DPOY in the past, then Han Sen should also be DPOY this season.

From Wade, to Malone, and then to Hansen, the Cavaliers not only won the championship this season, but also a basket of awards.

It is a bit regrettable that Jokic lost to Antetokounmpo in the Most Improved Player Award. He really attended the TGA awards ceremony like Nintendo. In the end, he just served as a spectator and came in vain.

After all other awards, big and small, have been presented, the final and biggest award, MVP, will be announced soon.

Actually, you know what, after a series of preparations, the overall look and feel of this award ceremony was still very good.

Three candidates for MVP: Hansen, Westbrook, and Curry.

The guest presenting the award was Silva, and only Silva.

"The Most Valuable Player of the 2016-2017 regular season is... Han Sen."

When the result was announced, the cheers at the scene exploded again, and this time a large number of people stood up and applauded Hansen.

Two years ago, Hansen won the DPOY for the first time, but he ultimately missed the championship. Last season, he won the championship, but it was Curry who won the MVP.

But this season, at the end of this awards ceremony, Hansen achieved an unprecedented achievement.

He became the first player in NBA history to win the scoring title, DPOY, MVP, FMVP, and double first team in one season!
