Chapter 152 and

Familiarity returns to familiarity, troubles return to troubles, and the ownership of MVP is no joke.

Although Kobe had the smile of winning the game on his face, the desire for MVP was still clearly visible deep in his eyes, at least Qin Fei understood him.

The MVP of the rookie game is also the MVP. Although the weight is not very large, if you miss this MVP, it will be very difficult to get all the honors about MVP later.

The hosts at the scene were also discussing who the MVP would be awarded to.

According to the convention that people imagine, it should be the player who performed the best for the winner.

But it's not absolute. In the rookie game in 1995, although the green team lost to the white team, Eddie Jones performed eye-catchingly. He scored 25 points and won the MVP honor.

The hosts are arguing endlessly, but the winner has players with good statistics, and the MVP has a high probability of being selected among the winners.The problem is that the winner, the rookie in the Western Conference, was obviously the result of the joint efforts of Qin Fei and Kobe to defeat the rookie in the Eastern Conference led by Iverson.

Moreover, the statistics of the two are evenly matched, and both have broken records.

Of course, the difficulty of breaking the record is not particularly high, because the rookie competition has only played four rounds so far.

The staff built a temporary and simple podium in the middle of the court.

Rookies and photojournalists gathered around.

A staff member walked over with a plate on which was a transparent star-shaped trophy. This was the MVP trophy for the rookie game.

The one holding the microphone is an official from the league. He is wearing a suit and looks younger.

Youth is the main theme of the rookie game, and it is not appropriate to host it with an older official.

He congratulated the Western rookies for winning the game, thanked all the rookies for their wonderful performance this night, and expressed his expectation for the rookies to continue to perform well in the league in the future.

Then came the most exciting MVP reveal moment of the night.

He got a note with the selected MVP candidates on it.

"OK, I've got the rookie game MVP list now."

He picked up the trophy and announced without haste:

"The player who won the 1997 All-Star Weekend Rookie Game MVP was—"

"Qin Fei from the Seattle SuperSonics!"

What, Qin Fei?

Kobe's face froze in an instant. After all, he was only a 19-year-old boy, and his smile faded a lot. Although he was still applauding, it was obvious that he was not well.

I really didn't expect that after working so hard all night, Qin Fei won the MVP.

The mood must be very bad, but if it is Qin Fei, it seems to be acceptable, after all, he has put in a lot of effort tonight.

Hey

He was suddenly full of thoughts and felt a little sad.

I don't know why, but I really want to get any honor related to MVP. He feels that he is the most valuable player.

Qin Fei was also very surprised. Generally, isn't this kind of MVP awarded to the most active player on the field and the highest scorer?

But Peyton and Kemp standing beside him were particularly happy for him and urged him to hurry up to receive the award.

"This is your personal honor, and it is also the first rookie game MVP of our Seattle SuperSonics. Go up there."

Peyton applauded and laughed.

Before Qin Fei stepped onto the stage, he came to the side of the young official.

But he didn't intend to give Qin Fei a trophy. He showed a mysterious smile over there, and then took the microphone and continued: "And"

as well as?

The cheering audience pricked up their ears. Is there any turning point or accident in this matter?

"And Kobe Bryant from the Los Angeles Lakers!"

"Let us congratulate the two, and share the honor of MVP of the rookie game!"

It was so!

The cheers were obviously stronger this time. Some fans were not very happy at first, thinking that Kobe had obviously performed better and contributed many wonderful dunks. Although Qin Fei scored a lot, in terms of the excitement of the court, it was actually not as good as Kobe.

Everyone has nothing to say.

Awarded to the two best performers among the winners, there is no regret.

In many people's minds, the selection of the league's best rookie in the previous two years came to mind.

At that time, the honor of the best rookie was also shared. Jason Kidd and Grant Hill are now both first-line stars in the league. Grant Hill is even known as Jordan's successor and is very popular.

Qin Fei and Kobe looked at each other with four hands, smiled, and raised the star-shaped rookie MVP trophy above their heads.

The two smiled brightly and were very happy.

Two 19-year-olds, two rookies in the teens, two people who were traded in the draft, two substitutes on the team, and the two shared the rookie game MVP.

They have too many similarities and topicality, enough for the media to write a large report.

Kobe won the MVP of the rookie game. After watching the game, Jerry West felt that Harris was indeed too conservative.

Yes, Kobe does have some deficiencies and lack of experience, but based on his current level and demonstrated singles ability, he shouldn't just play in garbage time in every game, at least he should enter the team's normal rotation.

After thinking about it, he decided to go back and have a chat with Harris to hear what he thought.

On the other hand, Peyton Camp and other bigwigs decided to continue their happy nightlife after the rookie game ended tonight, and asked Qin Fei and his friends if they were interested.

no

Qin Fei himself refused, since he can't drink or do anything, going to a nightclub is really meaningless, he might as well rest and get ready to go back.

He really thought so, but Iverson and Kobe also came to pull him to experience the local customs.

Forget about Iverson, Kobe, are you serious?

Qin Fei was a little worried about his friend, so he had to follow.

The result was a very plain nightclub experience, and Qin Fei even had the energy to get up on time for morning exercises the next day.

That night was Saturday night.

The highlight of the night was the dunk contest.

As Qin Fei remembered, Kobe won the slam dunk contest.

Having won the MVP of the rookie game and the championship of the slam dunk contest, Kobe has gained a lot during the All-Star Weekend this year, and his exposure and attention have skyrocketed.

The All-Star Game is held on the last night of the All-Star Weekend, which is the highlight.

This year, the league's top stars such as Ewing, Mourning, O'Neal, and Barkley were injured and did not play, and they all concentrated on the inside, so the inside line in the main game is not very star-like.

But because this is the 50th anniversary celebration of the league, the top [-] superstars officially selected by the NBA last year basically came to the scene, so this starlight is actually more brilliant than any previous one.

At that time, when selecting the 50 superstars, multiple channels were adopted, including media people, commentators, bosses, coaches, former players, etc. The final list did not announce any votes and order, but ranked according to the order in which they entered the league.

So O'Neal, who has just entered the league for four or five years, has been very controversial.

In addition, Jordan has received a lot of attention. The debate on Jordan is whether Jordan is the greatest star in league history?

Eight-time scoring champion, four-time championship, four-time MVP, and four-time FMVP Many people think it is, he is as honorable as he is, and even changed the status of the entire basketball game in the world.

But some people think not, such as the basketball emperor Chamberlain.

Chamberlain is very straightforward, thinking that he is the number one in history.

The two met in the player tunnel of the All-Star Game and started a dispute.

The two did not end their conversation until before the ceremony began.

At that time, the media thought that Chamberlain was giving encouragement to "little brother" Jordan.

In fact, according to the memories of the people around him, Chamberlain said something like this: "When I was playing, the NBA changed the rules to restrict me, but when you were playing, the rules repeatedly favored you."

This statement is actually very domineering, and it also makes sense.

Out of the passageway to the main game, the NBA rolls names based on guards, forwards and centers.

As a result, Jordan was the first player to be called, as if he had acquiesced that Jordan was the greatest player, and Chamberlain was caught in the middle of a group of centers, and he didn't know what the ranking was.

In this All-Star Game, the Eastern All-Stars won, and Jordan hit the first triple-double in the All-Star Game.

However, the MVP was awarded to Glen Rice of the Hornets, who scored 26 points.

This is also a fascinating place. Jordan has created a new history and is the number one star in the league, but he suffered a cold reception at the All-Star MVP awards.
