Chapter 335 334: Don't blink, the hottest MVP in history is about to be born(2/3)
Was given a new nickname - the No. 1 defensive player in the NBA!
Mutombo was speechless. Since Barkley and Kenny Smith joined TNT, the players have had more and more messy nicknames!
It's really quite lively.
Sometimes there was a replay of Shay's throat-locking moment on the TV, and sometimes there was a joke about "Shay - Dashan's conjecture point".
In short, it was all about Shai and the Lakers, which also meant that David Stern's plan had officially failed.
The so-called balance he needed was completely broken by Shay again.
According to Stern's expectations, there was nothing going on with Shay in this year's playoffs.
What people should be discussing now is O'Neal and Grant Hill.
Shay? He should have ended the season long ago.
But in the end, people are still talking about Shay! The jokes are still coming from Shay!
Although there will be news in the news from time to time about Danny Ainge having his neck broken and still in shock.
But in the final analysis, this news was created by Shay.
Shai is still the most popular player in the league!
He still rules this league!
As Shai led his team to the Western Conference Finals, a new TV commercial for his personal brand also followed the trend.
This TV commercial mainly features Shay's three newly signed models, Miranda Kerr, Karolina Korkova and super-rich second-generation Ivanka.
Shay looked at the well-made advertisement and nodded with satisfaction:
"Yeah, not bad, very good."
"Who is very good?"
“They’re all pretty good.”
"Bah! You old pervert!" Lima couldn't help complaining at the side. I was right next to you and you didn't look. You were so obsessed with watching TV! You even praised them in front of me!
"What I'm talking about is that the commercial was shot well. Does this have anything to do with whether I am astringent or not? Hey, how long are you going to stay at my house?"
Lima has been living in Shea's house since the Western Conference semifinals.
He euphemistically said that Shay worked hard during the game, so he lived together so that he could take care of Shay's daily life. He had to cook for Shay every day.
After all, people say that to conquer a man, you must first conquer his stomach.
"Stay here until you win the championship! During this period, I will strictly monitor you and don't waste any more energy outside the basketball court!"
Lima was really afraid that Shay would bring Ivanka home. The super rich second generation said more than once that he would come to Shay's house to thank Shay.
Can that be a serious thank you?
After watching basketball for so long, Lima also learned something: "Defense wins the final victory!"
After all, Xie Yi is the scum of the scum who even promised "the future is yours" to two people, so she must guard against Xie Yi!
Lima still doesn't believe that she can't guard against Shay and Ivanka even though she is pressing closely!
Shay shook his head speechlessly. It's hard for me to stack buffs for the championship if you live like this every day!
Since it was a day off, Shay and Lima just lay on the sofa and watched TV.
As a result, all the major sports channels were talking about Shay all day long, going over and over about yesterday's game.
Finally, in the afternoon, the series of news about Shay was interrupted by another bombshell news.
In the press conference hall of Energy Solutions Arena in Salt Lake City.
David Stern handed the regular season MVP trophy of the 1998-99 season to Karl Malone!
In the end, Shea failed to create the myth of four consecutive MVPs. Karl Malone became the only man besides Jordan and Shea to win the regular season MVP trophy in the 1990s!
In fact, it is normal for Shay to lose the MVP award this year.
Not to mention that Shay's attendance rate is less than 50%, the Lakers' eighth record in the Western Conference means that the MVP cannot be given to Shay.
When the Turtles won the MVP in the 16-17 season by averaging a triple-double per game, the Thunder were still sixth in the Western Conference.
It is indeed normal for the MVP not to be selected from the eighth team in the Western Conference.
Duncan, who is No. 1 in the Western Conference, may not even be ranked second in the MVP rankings because his way of playing is too ugly. The second place is Mourning of the Heat.
This fact tells everyone that external things are still very important. If you are not attractive on the outside, who would want to know your inside?
Although Karl Malone is old, he is still more famous than Duncan after working hard in the league for so many years.
In this way, Karl Malone, who had good personal statistics and led his team to second place in the Western Conference, won the first MVP trophy of his career.
When Stern awarded the trophy to Malone, his eyes were filled with anticipation.
Now, it's all up to you!
The antitrust mission to stop Shay must not fail again!
Karl Malone hugged the trophy, tears welling up in his eyes.
Young players have no idea how difficult and difficult it is to snatch a major honor from Shay and Jordan.
You have to know that even a great player like Olajuwon never won major honors such as MVP and championship in this historical period of the 1990s.
Although Barkley holds two rings, he cannot compete with Shay and Jordan in terms of MVP, and has never achieved excellent personal honors.
And Karl Malone waited until he was 36 years old before finally making his mark in the 1990s.
It is not difficult to understand the excitement in his heart. The reward after hard work may be one of the top enjoyments in life.
If the MVP award ceremony ended like this, Shay would not have any turmoil in his heart.
Although it's disappointing not to win four consecutive MVP awards, with the Lakers' record this season, there's nothing they can do about it.
It's better than the original history of 1997 when Jordan won 69 games, but Malone, who won 64 games, was forcibly snatched away the MVP on the grounds of "aesthetic fatigue."
Shay losing the MVP this year is at least justified.
But Karl Malone's subsequent acceptance speech made Shay grit his teeth.
“I am very honored to receive this highest level of personal honor, and thank you all for your support and love.
As the oldest MVP in NBA history, it is not easy to win this award.
But facts also prove that my strength has not declined as I grow older.
Hard training day after day keeps me in excellent condition.
I am still extremely competitive!
I know what you want to see, and I also know that this is a turning point in history.
In the next Western Conference Finals, I will end Shay's consecutive championships just like I interrupted Shay's four consecutive MVPs tonight!
Not only am I the best player in the regular season this season, the Jazz are also the best team this season!
I will end Shay’s era!”
When Karl Malone said this, the reporters were extremely excited.
It also made Shay frown.
This Malone made you win an MVP, why are you so proud of yourself?
Do you really feel like you are walking?
It's not surprising that Malone is so confident. After all, in this year's regular season, the Jazz were only 2 games short of 40 wins over the Spurs.
In the first two rounds, the Jazz directly swept the Sonics 3-0 in one round and defeated Olajuwon 4-1 in one round, winning both games easily.
Unlike the Lakers, who played a life-and-death game in the first round, and then had an inseparable battle with the Suns in the second round.
The combination of Malone, Stockton and Alan Houston is indeed a powerful combination.
What's more, this year's Alan Houston is getting more and more courageous in the playoffs.
His statistics in the regular season were mediocre, but in the last round he averaged 21.6 points per game.
In one of the games, he scored 34 points with a shooting percentage of 60%, which is comparable to that of an inside player!
Don’t forget that in the original history of the 1999 Knicks, Ewing was injured. The team relied on the strong performance of Alan Houston and Sprewell to allow the Knicks to advance all the way to the Finals!
Alan Houston is extremely strong this year.
Therefore, Karl Malone is quite confident in defeating Shay!
He felt that the time for his counterattack had come, and the MVP was a sign.
He not only wants to steal Shay's MVP, but also wants to steal the championship from Shay!
To end Shay's era, it will take him, a star in the 1990s, to take action!
The day after Malone won the MVP, the world was looking forward to Shay's response.
Everyone knows that Shay will never be willing to let Karl Malone be so rampant.
To be continued...
