unfinished glory

Chapter 206 MVP
Even Carlisle didn't expect that the first game would be so easy. There was no fierce fighting, and the Spurs fell.

Before the game, he also made a lot of plans to prepare for the ever-changing situation on the court. As a result, nothing went wrong and the game was won.

The players don't think so. As No.1 in the regular season, they naturally have some arrogance in their hearts. Winning a No.5 in the regular season is a matter of course.

After this game, the NBA officially announced a major news, Li Chongxiao won the regular season MVP of the 2008~2009 season.

Although this award has long been expected by everyone, the Grizzlies are very happy to get this news.

What made the media feel that there was a topic was that 121 sports reporters, editors and commentators across the United States and Canada gave all 121 first-place votes to Li Chongxiao, making him the first unanimous MVP winner in history.

In fact, these reporters have no reason to give the first vote to other players. Li Chongxiao's biggest competitor is nothing more than James, but James lags behind in terms of personal statistics and team record.

James' 28.4 points, 7.6 rebounds, 7.2 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.1 blocks are indeed amazing, but Li Chongxiao broke Jordan's scoring average record.He was able to average 37.4 points per game. This achievement is quite sensational. The topic has lasted for more than a week after the end of the regular season, and the enthusiasm has not diminished.

Undoubtedly, the achievements of Li Chongxiao in the same period have surpassed that of Jordan, there is no doubt about it.Everyone's focus is on whether Li Chongxiao's scoring ability also surpasses that of Jordan.

After comparing the data, some people said that Li Chongxiao scored better, while others thought that the 90s' defense was stronger, and that Jordan was even stronger after changing the rules.

Jordan was naturally silent, but Pippen complained about the current defensive strength in the show, and Jordan was able to average 40 points per game.There are some markets for this statement, but at the same time, many people do not agree.

Everyone can see the defensive strength and referee treatment that Li Chongxiao received. It may be slightly inferior to the 90s, but it is definitely not loose.He fights every night and faces multiple teams every game.

Moreover, Li Chongxiao had a lot of high scores, and he was facing some strong teams. No one dared to question his scoring ability.

That is to say, the Grizzlies don't have a celebrity, otherwise the referees would complain that Li Chongxiao was given 4 fewer fouls per game, which made him score 4 points less. Otherwise, Li Chongxiao's score would definitely reach 40 points.

Some professional reporters analyzed the reason for Li Chongxiao's high score. The main reason is that his shooting percentage is super high. The total shooting percentage, three-point shooting percentage and free throw shooting percentage are 51% + 46.3% + 98% respectively, completely surpassing Jordan.

除了得分之外，此外的李冲霄还能拿到7.3篮板6.4助攻3.6抢断和1.6盖帽，这个数据也都比乔丹的5.2篮板4.6助攻2.9抢断和1.5盖帽要高。

Only when there is comparison will there be enthusiasm. When a player is eligible to be compared with Jordan, he is definitely a powerful and popular fried chicken in the league.

With this limelight, Li Chongxiao naturally gained exposure and recognition far higher than James.At least at this stage, the latter is not qualified to compare with Jordan.

Personal data and team record are both extra points, and what makes the MVP selection final is Li Chongxiao's improvement of the team.The overall formation of the Grizzlies has not changed much, but it has improved from 20 wins and 62 losses last season to 68 wins and 14 losses.A full 48 wins are enough to enter the playoffs in the West.

Although James' addition to the Cavaliers is also good, increasing 21 wins, but the sensation is not enough, it pales in comparison.

Even James can't compare to Li Chongxiao, let alone other players like Kobe, Wade, and Yao Ming. The situation of this year's MVP is that other players accompany the runners. The gap is still huge.

……

Upon receiving the news, old man Li Guangfu, Li Guoqiang and Wang Caixia rushed to Memphis overnight.Before the second game between the Grizzlies and the Spurs, Li Chongxiao received the MVP trophy.

Sitting in front of the stage in a suit and leather shoes, Li Chongxiao delivered his acceptance speech:

"Thank you for the votes of the judges, and thank the league for awarding me this award. I am very honored and very excited to get the MVP today." The praise of the team's love for basketball made me feel that the 20 years of practice time have not been wasted. It is an affirmation of my struggle for five seasons. I work hard every day, not for this trophy, but for the meaning behind it; An inspiration for my future career, urging me to be more focused, work harder, and create greater achievements."

He raised the trophy and shook it at everyone: "I am a lucky person. I have got what I have always wanted since I was born. My grandpa led me into the world of basketball, although I was only two or three years old at that time. So I always thought he gave me a basketball to play with because he was bothering me."

The audience roared with laughter, and the camera showed Li Guangfu, who also shook his head with a smile.

"Although my parents went out to work when I was very young, they spent less time with me. But I know that they love me all the time, and all their efforts are to give me a good environment and life. When I decided to play in an unfamiliar environment, they did not stop them, but silently helped me pack my bags. Today, after this moment, I want to say: I love you too!"

Li Chongxiao said to the old coach K who was invited: "After coming to the United States, it was the old coach K who helped me adapt and grow, and brought me into the palace of professional competition."

Then he turned the topic to Duncan: "My brother Duncan, you helped me gain a firm foothold in the NBA. You are a good role model. When you received the MVP trophy last time, I silently said to myself, there is One day I'll take one too, and now I do."

Then he smiled self-deprecatingly: "I would like to thank the Spurs and coach Popovich here. Although we had an unhappy fight, the four years have allowed me to grow and gain a lot."

"Thanks to my former teammates, Bowen, Ginobili and Barry. Thanks to Boss Heisley, Mr. West and the team uniform staff, thanks to Coach Carlisle for allowing me to be self-willed, and thanks to all my current teammates." Li Chongxiao is thankful from the beginning to the end:
"Finally, I would like to thank the fans who have always supported me. If love is the reason for me to play, then applause is the motivation for me to play."

……

In the second game, both teams used the same tactics. Although there were some twists and turns during the game, the Grizzlies still won the victory under the rampage of the new MVP Li Chongxiao.
