NBA: Starting with James Harden

................

"Wow, unanimous vote for the best rookie, awesome. Although it's a bit exaggerated, I have to say it's well deserved."

"The future leader of the Mavericks, the cornerstone of the team!!"

"I remember that Yao Ming didn’t get this trophy back then. This trophy is very motivating for the rookies!"

"This is awesome. This is the first time I see a news report about Li Zhen directly inserted into the Sports News."

"The next driver! Finally, the successor of the old driver has arrived. Yes, it is you, Li Zhen!!"

"In addition to the best rookie, I think Li Zhen is also the scoring champion....If he plays all 82 games, his total score should be higher than Durant's."

"When he played his first game in the league, I knew he was basically a lock for the Rookie of the Year."

"Li Zhen: I won't pretend anymore. I'm the best rookie. I'm telling you my true colors. The best rookie is very important to Li Zhen. It's the first major honor in his career.

When the league officially announced it, the system gave a buzz.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for getting the"Best Rookie of the Year" award of 50 attribute points!"

A full 50 points, this award is enough to make Li Zhen feel excited.

Reba couldn't help but forward the news of Li Zhen winning the"Best Rookie" on Weibo.

The fans didn't doubt that Reba was with Li Zhen, but just thought that this beauty was also a fan who followed the NBA.

At the press conference on the afternoon of the day when G3 started.

NBA official staff also officially awarded the"Best Rookie of the Year" trophy to Li Zhen!

"The"Rookie of the Year" trophy is an award given to the best rookie player in the NBA regular season every year since the 1952-1953 season.

The winner will receive the Eddie Gottlieb Cup, which is named after Eddie Gottlieb, the head coach of the Philadelphia 76ers who led the team to the NBA championship in the 1946-1947 season.

Li Zhen took the transparent trophy with the NBA LOGO character printed on it!

""Ka-ka-ka!"

The base of the trophy is printed with Li Zhen's average statistics this season, as well as Li Zhen's Chinese name.

The NBA also has a clause in memory of Li Zhen.

"Li, stop being in a daze, it's your turn to say something. Nowitzki took the initiative to speak for the reporter.

Li Zhen turned to face the camera and showed his signature smile.

""Ka-ka-ka!"

Countless flashes were directed at Li Zhen.

Li Zhen said,"I am very excited. I couldn't have won this award without the help of my teammates. Thank you to my parents, coach, Jason, Dirk, and Sean......."

"You have thanked so many teammates, but which teammate do you think helped you the most?"

"Dirk, thanks to his injury, otherwise I probably wouldn't have gotten this award."

"Hahaha!!" The reporters and teammates around laughed.

Indeed, if Nowitzki had not been injured at the time, forcing Li Zhen to take on the responsibility of leading the team, Li Zhen would not have scored 50+ triple-doubles twice!

These two 50+ triple-doubles shocked too many people.

With Nowitzki around, Li Zhen didn't have to shoulder the responsibility, and he wouldn't have such a magical performance.

"What is your next goal?"

"Help the team win the championship!"

Li Zhen was more excited than usual today. The honor was the official recognition of the league!

Throughout the press conference, Li Zhen showed his sense of humor and made reporters and teammates laugh many times.

Only then did the outside world realize that Li Zhen was not such a serious person.

Carlisle and Nowitzki smiled with satisfaction on the side.

"This rookie will have more honors in the future."Nowitzki said

"Who do you think he looks like?" Carlisle asked

"Kobe, their willpower is very similar."Nowitzki blurted out

"The technical styles are very different, but the energy is the same." Carlisle also nodded.......

Back in the locker room, Li Zhen solemnly put the trophy into his schoolbag.

He still couldn't believe that he won the best rookie award! It took Li Zhen less than half a year to go from an undrafted player to the best rookie!

In the past few months, Li Zhen has been constantly looking for opportunities to become stronger. He always felt that he was not good enough.

Today, Li Zhen finally had the sense of accomplishment after hard work.

This feeling of achievement made Li Zhen feel eager!

He wanted to get more honors!!..........

As the first award announced this season, Li Zhen's winning of the Rookie of the Year award became a hot topic throughout the league.

Superstars and league legends have all come out to comment!

Kobe tweeted:"Congratulations, my brother, you are the best!!!"

Li Zhen and Kobe have the same agent, Rob Pelinka. He has frequent contact with Kobe in private. He often asks Kobe various questions. Kobe also thinks that Li Zhen is his younger brother.

James also said:"Unremitting efforts, positive spirit = two 50+ triple-doubles, countless records, ="Rookie of the Year""

Magic Johnson:"He should be the most underrated undrafted player in history. This award is created for guys like Lee this year."

Nash:"He has the strength"......

In general, superstars and legends all praise Li Zhen. Those who have played against Li Zhen know how difficult he is. He is a unique rookie in both offense and defense.

Of course, there are also some people who are blacking Li Zhen, led by Spurs fans. They say Li Zhen is a fake, a best actor, just a substitute for a strong team, and his record is due to Nowitzki, etc.

There is nothing to defend these blacks. The Spurs and the Mavericks are in a big playoff battle. The Spurs are now trailing by a large margin. Fans are blacking Li Zhen in the hope of trying to have some impact on Li Zhen.

In addition to the superstars tweeting their support, other NBA players who have had some nodding acquaintances with Li Zhen privately sent text messages to congratulate him.

Li Zhen also received a call from Yao Ming before G3 started.

Yao Ming urged him to keep working hard and win glory for the country.

When Yao Ming talked to Li Zhen, there was no lack of envy in his tone.

The injury has made him lose all his spirit.

Li Zhen's attitude towards Yao Ming is that of respect, whether it is his past achievements or the selfless things he will do for domestic basketball in the future.

"Xiao Zhen, join the national team this summer, right?" Yao Ming said at the end of the topic.

"Yao, I have no problem playing in the national team, but I only want to play in world-class competitions. Other small-scale competitions are meaningless to me. I would rather rest and do special training."

Li Zhen is willing to fight for the country, but he is not willing to play in all the games like Yao Ming.

In the Mavericks, he will be very tired after the playoffs, and he also needs to use the summer time to rest and adjust.

Yao Ming was silent for a while and then replied:"I will convey your request, it shouldn't be a big problem."

With Li Zhen's current fame, he is not a player in the system, so his request is very reasonable.

Yao Ming felt that if he was the same as Li Zhen, maybe his body would not collapse so quickly.

Li Zhen replied:"OK, Yao, you should take good care of your injury. I look forward to working with you."
