Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

Los Angeles.

Today's Los Angeles is bustling with people coming and going.

Because today is the day when the Lakers hold their championship parade, the streets of Los Angeles are crowded with fans participating in the parade. Both sides of the road are filled with crowded crowds, who are constantly squeezing in to occupy a better position.

Some people even climbed up the trees beside the road, or stood on the roof of the car. Even more outrageous, I don’t know if they learned it from the Indian brother, but some people even climbed up the electric poles...

After the NBA Finals every year, the winning team will hold a championship parade in its own city.

It is difficult for ordinary people to imagine what an NBA team means to a city.

It can be said that the NBA team is a business card for a city, their pride, a totem in people’s hearts, and the inner sustenance of many people.

Especially some of the decades-long fans, who have been following and supporting this team for decades of their lives, have an unparalleled feeling for the team.

In order to express gratitude to the fans and the city, the team will hold parades and celebrations in various forms on the streets of their city after winning the championship and interact with the fans!

The championship parade is a grand event for a city. The whole city will be plunged into crazy joy, with hundreds of thousands or even millions of people taking to the streets to celebrate the championship with the team.

When the Warriors won the championship a few years ago, millions of fans wearing Warriors blue jerseys took to the streets and chased the Warriors' parade. The scene was very spectacular. You won't see such a scene even on Christmas.

On the streets of Los Angeles.

A convoy of vehicles drove slowly, with a pickup truck leading the way and a bus with the roof cut off, and the players standing on the bus.

This way you can get close to the fans without any obstruction.

The players are also free at this moment.

Some people have cigars in their mouths, some hold champagne in their hands, and big gold chains hang around their necks. They are so plain and down-to-earth...

Zhuang Yu was also standing on one of the buses.

Not only himself, An Xin, Xiao Nuomi, Yang Jinsong, and Anna were all there, but Xi Juan and Li Huilan didn't come. They had already experienced it once last year, so they weren't that curious. It was too noisy for people of their age, so they might as well stay at home.

Zhuang Yu held Xiao Nuomi in one hand and raised the other hand, waving at the fans on both sides of the road. An Xin stood beside him, holding the FMVP trophy in his arms.

Because there were so many people, the car was driving very slowly, almost crawling at a snail's pace.

There were fans all along the way. Some fans cheered excitedly, and some fans threw the gifts in their hands towards the car, wanting to give them to their favorite players.

At this moment, Zhuang Yu's car was already filled with all kinds of things.

Zhuang Yu took a look and felt helpless.

These are the fans' kindness and they cannot be thrown back.

The parade lasted for several hours before it ended.

Zhuang Yu felt exhausted, and Xiao Nuomi had fallen asleep in his arms.

"If I win the championship next time, I will definitely not participate in the parade." Zhuang Yu said with a wry smile.

"You are the leader of the team, how can you not participate." An Xin rolled her eyes at him unhappily, her eyebrows curved and her words hinted at a smile.

Although she also felt tiring to participate in such parades, she felt a sense of pride from the bottom of her heart when she saw her husband being the center of attention.

After the championship parade ended, Zhuang Yu did not have time to rest, because the 2019 NBA annual awards ceremony was about to begin.

The award ceremony was held at the Barker Hangar Exhibition Center in Santa Monica, California. Many stars and celebrities attended to witness this grand event.

Last year, Zhuang Yu was named the regular season scoring leader with his averages of 32.6 points, 8.4 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 2.8 steals per game, and also won the regular season MVP. However, he missed the best defensive player award, which was snatched away by Rudy Gobert.

Whether Zhuang Yu can win the regular season MVP again this time is also the focus of people's attention.

May 6th, evening.

The 2019 NBA Awards Ceremony has officially begun.

The first award presented was the 2018-19 NBA Rookie of the Year Award. The Mavericks' super rookie Luka Doncic won the award without any suspense.

Throughout the season, Doncic averaged 21.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 6 assists per game, with a field goal percentage of 42.7% and a three-point shooting percentage of 32.7%. He ranked first in scoring, third in rebounds, and second in assists, and won the Western Conference Rookie of the Month award five times.

With such outstanding performance, he surpassed Trae Young of the Hawks and Deandre Ayton, the No. 1 pick of the Suns, to become the Rookie of the Year.

Of course, Trae Young and Ayton also performed well.

Trae Young averaged 19.1 points and 8.1 assists per game this season, and Ayton also averaged 16+10 per game, but there is a clear gap between the two and Doncic.

When Doncic stood on the podium and gave his acceptance speech, he also said: "Hello everyone, first of all, I want to thank Trae Young and Deandre Ayton. They played an extremely good season. Not only them, but also the rookies of this year have performed so well. We can achieve some great things. I also want to thank my family, girlfriend, and teammates. I am very grateful to you."

Others don’t know, but Zhuang Yu felt a little embarrassed for Trae Young and Ayton. Fortunately, Ayton was not there.

The Most Improved Award was announced next.

The winner of the Most Improved Award is Pascal Siakam of the Raptors, who averaged 16.9 points, 6.9 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game this season. Compared with last season, his average score increased by 9.6 points, which is still amazing.

Next is the Best Sixth Man Award, which was won by Clippers player Louis Williams.

Derrick Rose and Jordan Clarkson both unfortunately failed to win this award.

In fact, both Rose and Clarkson have great hopes of winning this award. They have played as substitutes for most of the time this season and have outstanding individual performances.

It’s just that as they were on a strong team like the Lakers, their personal statistics were naturally not as impressive as Lou Williams’, and they ultimately missed out on the Sixth Man of the Year Award.

Next is the Best Coach Award.

The winner of this award is Bucks head coach Mike Budenholzer. Under his leadership this season, the Bucks have achieved the best record in the league.

Next up is the Defensive Player of the Year award.

Those competing for this award include Zhuang Yu, Rudy Gobert of the Jazz, Kawhi Leonard of the Raptors, Tony Allen of the Grizzlies, etc.

Last year's Defensive Player of the Year award went to Rooney Gobert, and many people think he will win the award again this time.

But when the final result was announced, it was not Rudy Gobert.

"The winner of the 2018-19 Defensive Player of the Year award is Zhuang Yu from the Lakers."

When the results were announced, there was warm applause in the conference hall.

This season, Zhuang Yu averaged 32.8 points, 8.7 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 2.7 steals per game, ranking first in the league in steals per game.

In the past few years, Zhuang Yu has won the Best Defensive Player Award twice. His defensive ability is obvious to all and his excellence is unquestionable.

So it is not surprising that Zhuang Yu won the Best Defensive Player Award this time.

It’s just that people are speculating that Zhuang Yu has already won the Best Defensive Player Award, so what about the most important regular season MVP award?

Last season, Zhuang Yu won the regular season MVP trophy but lost the Best Defensive Player Award. Can he win both awards this time?

"That's probably a bit difficult. Although Zhuang Yu's performance this season is very good, even better than last season, James Harden of the Rockets is obviously more explosive in terms of statistics."

"I admit that Harden's statistics are very explosive. If we only look at the statistics, he will undoubtedly be named the regular season MVP. However, the selection of the regular season MVP is not only based on the player's personal statistics, but also on the team's record and other factors...Harden's personal statistics are very explosive, but the team's record is obviously not as good as Zhuang Yu and the Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo."

"As for statistics, Antetokounmpo's personal statistics are also very impressive, and the Bucks have the best record in the league..."

The candidates competing for the regular season MVP this time include Zhuang Yu, James Harden, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and LeBron James.

There are a few more behind, including Russell Westbrook, Paul George, Kawhi Leonard, etc. ... but their hopes are slim.

It’s mainly the people in front.

There is no doubt that Zhuang Yu's performance this season, and he eventually led the Lakers to win the championship.

But James Harden's performance was also outstanding, averaging 36.1 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 7.5 assists per game. He scored 9+ points 50 times and 32+ points in 30 consecutive games. His average points per game ranked first in the league, almost leading other players by a gap, and was the regular season scoring champion.

The Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo has also performed very well this season, averaging 27.7 points, 12.5 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.5 blocks per game. The statistics are very impressive, and the Bucks' record ranks first in the league.

LeBron James of the Clippers has also performed very well this season, averaging 28.5 points, 8.5 rebounds and 8.3 assists per game. The statistics are not only gorgeous but also very comprehensive. It's just that the Clippers' record is somewhat disappointing.

In fact, everyone knows that the final regular season MVP will most likely come from Zhuang Yu, Harden, and Antetokounmpo.

One of these three won the championship and was the best defensive player in the regular season; one was the scoring champion this season; and another led the team to the best record in the league.

All three have their outstanding points, and although James is comprehensive in all aspects, he is obviously not outstanding enough.
