Super Role Player

"Time Magazine?" An invitation letter at the bottom quickly attracted the attention of Anxi and Zhang Mingji.

Ivor Clark patted his head: "Oh no, I forgot such an important thing. Time Magazine wants to interview you, Ann, and they want you to appear on their cover for the second week of May."

"The cover character of Time Magazine?" Zhang Mingji also showed an expression of interest, but then said: "But thinking about it, it's not surprising, Ann, you are already the number one player in Asian basketball. On the cover of Time Magazine, you can be on the cover, no problem."

An Xi nodded. The cover character of Time Magazine reminded him of a joke.

A certain freshman joined a club, and on the application form for joining the club, the column of personal honors was impressively filled with "2006 Time Magazine Person of the Year" and "2008 Special Award for People Who Touched China"!

The person in charge of the association searched Baidu and found that the 2006 Time Magazine Person of the Year was all netizens, and the 2008 Special Award for Touching Chinese Figures was all Chinese...

But Anxi thought, when he was on the cover of Time Magazine, he could write "Time Magazine Cover Person" in his personal honor column without a joke.

"Actually, Time Magazine invited Ann for a reason." Ivor Clark smiled and began to explain the reason. "The regular season is over, and the selection of various awards has begun. Ann has been selected for the three awards of Most Improved Player, Best Sixth Man, and Best Defensive Player. , Anxi will get at least one."

"And once he gets one of them, Ann will become the first person of yellow race to win the NBA individual award."

Anxi nodded. Indeed, if he really wins one of these three awards, he will become the unprecedented first person of yellow race to win the nba individual award. Naturally, Time Magazine will let Anxi appear on their cover.

"Then when will they come to interview?"

"In the middle of the second round, at least confirm which individual awards you have won, so that you can have interviews."

Anxi nodded again, and then said: "OK, let's arrange it after they come."

In the first round, the nba has announced the results of several individual awards, such as the best rookie, Damian Lillard, who averaged 19 points and 6.5 assists per game in his rookie season, overwhelmed Anthony Davis and became the best rookie of the year.

There is also the best coach, George Karl of the Nuggets, by virtue of leading the Nuggets, a civilian team, to a record of 57 wins and 25 losses,

Won the best coach award.

Like George Karl, Nuggets general manager Masai Ujiri became the best manager of the year. He traded Aaron Afflalo for Andre Iguodala early in the season It is considered to be an important reason for the progress of the Nuggets.

After Ivor Clark and Zhang Mingji left, Anxi began to think about which of these three awards he could get?

It happened that Abby also got up, and he asked Abby, who is the host of Fox Sports: "Abby, do you think I can win the three awards of Best Sixth Man, Most Improved Player and Best Defensive Player?" Which one did you get?"

Abby thought seriously while eating breakfast: "The best sixth man is basically a competition between you and JR Smith, so this should be the personal award you have the best chance of winning."

"It's hard to say the most improved player. It is not ruled out that the league will award it to James Harden, but if the league doesn't care about this star's gimmick, then you have the best chance."

"The best defensive player, I am afraid the chance is not great."

"Is the chance of the best defensive player not big? Why?" Listening to Abby's analysis one by one, Anxi couldn't help asking when he heard that the best defensive player had little chance.

"Because you can't compete with Marc Gasol, Marc Gasol is, you are a substitute, Marc Gasol has a team defense bonus, you don't, so..."

...

On May 3, the Clippers and the Grizzlies held their sixth game at the home of the Grizzlies. In the first five games, the Grizzlies led 3:2.

As if to confirm Abby's statement, the league announced the winner of the best defensive player on May 3. Marc Gasol of the Grizzlies won the award for the best defensive player. Brown James and Joakim Noah, received the award.

The best defensive player award is voted by sports reporters and TV commentators in the United States and Canada. The votes are divided into three types, the first ballot, the second ballot and the third ballot. The first ballot represents 5 points, 3 points for second place, 1 point for third place.

In this selection, Marc Gasol received a total of 30 first-place votes, 16 second-place votes and 14 third-place votes, scoring a total of 212 points, and finally won the best defensive player.

The second place is Anxi. Anxi won a total of 18 first-place votes, 15 second-place votes and 14 third-place votes, scoring a total of 149 points;

LeBron James ranked third with a total score of 122, Serge Ibaka ranked fourth with a total score of 107, Joakim Noah ranked fifth with a total score of 102, and Tony Allen ranked sixth with a total score of 94.

Marc Gasol, who won the Defensive Player of the Year, quickly continued to exert force in the sixth game amidst the cheers of the home fans.

After four quarters, the Grizzlies finally won the game thanks to Marc Gasol's 7 rebounds and 2 blocks, Zach Randolph's 19 points, and Mike Conley's 7 assists. Defeated the Clippers with a big score of 4:2 and entered the second round.

The opponent in the second round was the Spurs. Last season, the Spurs lost their first game and won four games in a row to advance to the Western Conference Finals 4:1. This scene is still vivid.

Therefore, in the second round of the Western Conference, the old opponents will face the old opponents, and the game will be much more exciting.

Compared with last season, the Grizzlies have made a lot of progress. Although sending Rudy Gay away in the middle of the season is a bit worrying, but after Rudy Gay left, the Grizzlies' results have become better and better. , McConley's growth, and the more tacit cooperation between the two bears inside, for the Grizzlies, the second round of the Western Conference has become their battle of revenge.

Starting from the second round, the playoffs finally had a lot of highlights. The Spurs played against the Grizzlies, and the Warriors also defeated the Nuggets 4:2 to advance to the second round. Their three-point battle with the Thunder also became a playoff game. The biggest point of view.

In the East, the Heat faced the Bulls in the second round. Although it is the Bulls without Rose, people still hope that the Bulls can cause some trouble for the Heat. The Knicks will fight the Pacers, and this set of matchups is considered by the media to be the most equal set of matchups in the second round.

Failed to get the best defensive player, but before the first game of the second round, Anxi received a notice from the league by accident... (To be continued.)
