Chapter 1574 A Wonderful Journey
The unanimous vote comes first!
When these four words came out of the host's mouth and spread to thousands of households along with the live broadcast, countless people were petrified on the spot, as if what they were watching was not TV, but the eyes of Medusa.
The most intuitive manifestation is that some guy in Cleveland just turned off the TV and jumped into the swimming pool...
The Lakers restaurant also exploded, and they no longer cared about what was going on on the TV. They all jumped up and surrounded Ji Feng.
Farmar: "Awesome, boss, unanimous vote!? WTF!"
Powell: "Ye Qingjie!"
Gasol: "Invincible...I just look at James' expression now. It must be wonderful. It's a pity, it's a pity, I can't see it."
Bynum: "Is this the king? I'm convinced."
"These reporters finally have their eyes opened this time. It's rare that they are mentally normal for once. Isn't it well-deserved? After all, this is the guy chosen by me, Kobe Bryant, hahaha~!" and the shocked ones Different from others, Kobe seemed very happy. Not only did Ji Feng prevent James from getting his first MVP, but he also surpassed O'Neal's original vote record. This is definitely a triple blessing!
"Keep a low profile, brothers, don't leave at night, I'm treating you!"
Ji Feng himself was also a little confused. After the confusion, he was ecstatic. Winning the MVP again was already a great honor. He didn't expect that it would be the first time in history that he would be elected unanimously!
This kind of recognition and achievement makes Ji Feng feel like he drank an ice-cold Coke in the dog days of summer. It's so refreshing!
At this time, the TV switched to the studio, and the host inside seemed more excited than Ji Feng himself. The ESPN host shouted with exaggerated music: "Ji Feng has won the regular season MVP this season. From statistics to goals, Judging from the team's performance, it is undoubtedly well-deserved. He averaged a triple-double per game for two consecutive seasons, won the scoring and assists titles, regained the steals title from Paul, and also ranked in the top ten in the league in five statistics. Such achievements For the first time in history, the MVP is definitely deserved.”
"And he also became the 10th player in history to win the regular season MVP award. In addition to Ji Feng, Russell, Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Moses Malone, Bird, Magic Johnson, Jordan, Duncan and Nash have all won consecutive MVP awards. Was elected regular season MVP.”
"These names are enough to prove his greatness, but he also surpassed his predecessors to some extent. Among the total 123 first-place votes, Ji Feng got 123 votes and received a perfect score of 1230 points. This is What’s extremely incredible is that he is the first player in history to be unanimously elected as the MVP of the regular season!”
Another heavyweight guest, ESPN Senior Vice President and Program Producer Stephanie Drury said on the sidelines: "This is indeed a feat. Jordan, O'Neal and Garnett have all had the opportunity to do it before, but Even with this small gap, after all, reporters' votes are random. Weird reasons such as 'O'Neal's free throws are too bad' put forward by the reporter who did not vote for O'Neal may be an obstacle. Unexpectedly, Ji Feng actually did it. "
(O'Neal in the 2000 season averaged 29.7 points, 13.6 rebounds and 3 blocks per game. He completely dominated the penalty area and won the playoffs with 16 wins and 1 loss. Playing against O'Neal this year was a nightmare. It is said that Duncan does not play center. It was just to avoid O'Neal, which shows his dominance. In the end, he won the MVP, but one vote was given to Iverson. The reporter's reason was that O'Neal's free throws were too poor. This is really a strange reason that makes people want to vomit blood.)
"He is really perfect, isn't he? Comprehensive, calm, mature, self-disciplined, with a super big heart, an unparalleled desire to win, and handsome and humorous. He conquered the world, including me." Drury said.
Indeed, this may be Ji Feng's advantage. Even picky people would find it difficult to find shortcomings in Ji Feng. There were people who used Ji Feng's race and nationality as an issue, but David Stern personally came out to defend Ji Feng. Feng stood on the platform, and Ji Feng's performance left everyone speechless.
The news in China was even more explosive. CCTV directly inserted a one-and-a-half-hour special program. After wildly praising and showing off Ji Feng's unanimous MVP victory, it also conducted an all-round review of Ji Feng's performance this season. A review of Dead End.
The next day's sports news program also included a special program cooperating with basketball commentator Yu Jia, Da Xu, Director Zhang and others.
Director Zhang first lamented the legend of Ji Feng, and then admitted that the unanimous MVP is an incredible monument:
"If you want to win the unanimous MVP award, you must at least meet multiple conditions!"
"First, you have to be far ahead of other opponents. Although James has performed well this season, it has still declined compared to last season. Ji Feng is still brave, averaging 30.4 points per game despite generally low scoring in the league. He won three statistics championships, ranked in the top ten in five statistics, and averaged a triple-double for two consecutive seasons. By the way, Ji Feng also had an efficiency value of 36.5 and the highest offensive contribution value in the 72-year history of the NBA. He even surpassed Jordan. He created The strongest offensive performance in single-season history.”
"Second, let's not talk about the team's record. The Lakers have won 70 games for three consecutive seasons, which is unprecedented and may be unprecedented."
"Third, Ji Feng performed superbly on the national live broadcast, and Ji Feng did the same. In almost every national live broadcast, Ji Feng performed brilliantly, especially defeating James twice head-on, which gave him huge points."
"Fifth, you have extremely good popularity with media reporters. No matter how well you play, some people may not vote for you. For example, O'Neal back then, Kobe will not mention it, but Ji Feng has not offended any reporter, so no one can get in trouble with him."
"And Ji Feng happens to meet all the conditions!"
"Yes, Ji Feng has undoubtedly created a monument in the history of MVP, but there are still some records waiting for him to break." Yu Jia said: "For example, Chamberlain, Russell and Larry Bird are all in history. Only three players who have won MVP for three consecutive years.”
"Although Ji Feng has won two consecutive MVPs, he has only won two MVPs so far in his career. As the greatest player in NBA history, Jordan has won a total of 5 regular season MVPs in his career."
"But Jordan is not the player who has won the most MVPs. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has won a total of 6 MVPs in his career. Like Jordan, Bill Russell also won 5 MVPs. Others such as Chamberlain won 4 regular season MVPs, and Moses - Malone, Larry Bird and Magic Johnson got 3.”
"Then best wishes to Ji Feng and let him reach new heights!" Da Xu said cheerfully.
On May 5, Ji Feng also attended the MVP award ceremony held in the Staples press conference hall before the game against the Jazz.
Wearing a crisp suit and a blue tie, Ji Feng appeared in the lobby accompanied by an evening gown. When he appeared in the lobby, he received applause from all the reporters and staff, and then Ji Feng walked out of the Davidson En took the MVP trophy in his hand.
"I came silently from an undrafted rookie in the market. It is not easy to win this award. To be honest, this is a wonderful journey for me. From an unknown junior to the present, I have sacrificed a lot and received so much. A lot too.”
"When I was most confused, I didn't give up basketball. Someone asked me if it was worth it. I answered: Yes, of course, basketball is my belief. And now, I also send this sentence to all those who are striving for their dreams. Guys, keep going, you'll get the answers you want!"
