One Thousand One Hundred and Ninety-Six: All the Awards Were Taken Away by Link (3/5)

The NBA draft has attracted much attention because both the Celtics and Lakers have high draft picks. Lonzo Ball, who was extremely hyped by his father before the draft, also joined as people expected. Los Angeles Lakers.

The Lakers selected Ball, and everyone was thinking about how D'Angelo Russell and Ball, two guards with overlapping positions, could coexist.

Maybe the Lakers will use Ball or Russell to sell them this summer?

The bustling transfer market is just around the corner and fans are ready to look ahead to next season.

But on June 28, when many fans had almost forgotten about it, the NBA's first annual awards ceremony began at the Buckhanger Center in Los Angeles.

When the biggest suspense series of the season has been completely revealed, an award ceremony was suddenly inserted, which really made the fans feel a little unmotivated.

t will broadcast the entire awards ceremony live, but the ratings did not meet expectations.

In addition to fans' lowered expectations for the regular season awards, another reason for the low ratings is because Link announced five days ago that he would not attend the awards ceremony.

Without Link in sight, many fans simply didn't bother to watch the awards ceremony.

As for the winners of various awards in the regular season, just look at the results at the end.

The low ratings of the award ceremony surprised TV station T.

You know, this is the first awards ceremony, and it is the first time the NBA has held regular season awards in this way.

For fans, this is something very new.

However, even so, the awards ceremony was unable to effectively attract the attention of fans.

If it is held for a few more times, how will the ratings drop after the novelty wears off?

The joke was that I wanted to use this award ceremony to make another profit after the season.

However, the league itself seemed to be the only one who thought the ceremony was grand. Most fans don't care.

In any case, the awards ceremony must still be held as scheduled.

The ceremony was indeed well-organized and the stage was quite luxurious.

This hangar-turned-space is, after all, Southern California’s premier charity, corporate, private event venue, and video and film shooting venue.

At the beginning of the ceremony, the famous NBA commentator Marvin Albert made his speech.

During this period, the camera lens began to pan down the stage, proving how star-studded this award ceremony was.

NBA star Reggie Miller, strong contenders for VP Harden and Westbrook, super star Antetokounmpo, "Lord of the Rings" Bill Russell, and countless people's hero Allen Iverson

In addition, many celebrities from the entertainment industry came to support the show.

For example, the famous actress Rihanna, the black movie star Chadwick Boseman who will play Black Panther, etc.

At first glance, there are indeed many stars in the audience. People in active service, retired people, and people from the entertainment industry all gathered together.

But these are useless, after all, they are not the greatest players of this era.

As the saying goes, what a person lacks most is exactly what he loves to show off.

The reason why t shows the star lineup present is not just to say, "Look, even if there is no Link, we have many other stars here. Come and come and see us."

However, after a lap of the show, the ratings remained motionless.

At the basketball festival, if the biggest basketball star is not present, everything else will be in vain.

Afterwards, the host of this awards ceremony, Canadian star Drake, appeared.

He deliberately said hello to the stars off the field. To put it bluntly, this is another way to show off the star lineup on the field.

However, this made fans feel that the league was covering up the embarrassment of not having big-name stars present.

The award ceremony has officially begun. The first person to take the stage to present the award is Link's idol Grant Hill. He will serve as the presenter to announce the final winner of the Best Rookie Award.

Brogdon from the Pacers won this honor. He also said in his acceptance speech, "Link has always been my goal and idol. He told us that no matter what the starting point is, never give up fighting. Although I am only a second-tier player. It was a rough draft, but Link inspired me to be here."

If at this time, the live footage could show Link applauding in the audience, that would be perfect.

But there is no way, T can't take such a shot.

Afterwards, Eric Gordon from the Rockets won the Best Sixth Man Award, and the highly respected Nowitzki won the Best Teammate Award.

Up to this point, the awards ceremony was pretty normal. But Adam Joke, who was sitting backstage, sighed. He knew that the most embarrassing period of this awards ceremony was about to come.

The biggest difference between this year's awards ceremony and the past is that the league has added many new awards voted for by fans.

These awards include Best Block of the Year, Best Slam Dunk of the Year, and more.

After Nowitzki receives the Best Teammate Award, the first award voted for by fans will be awarded, the Best Assist Award.

In the end, Jokic passed the ball behind the back to assist Link for a dunk, winning first place.

However, since neither Jokic nor Link was present, after the awards were announced, T could only awkwardly film the scene of other people applauding, and could not find the protagonist.

The guests below felt like they were just cooperating stiffly, which made people feel embarrassed.

Then came the Best Block Award, and Link's shot against Harden was voted first by the fans. Once again, the camera awkwardly cannot find the protagonist.

In the best slam dunk, Link avoided three people's extreme pull dunks and won first place. He has won his third consecutive first place!

Of course, as always, the guests could only continue to awkwardly applaud.

Finally, the Best Fighting Award was taken away by Beverly, and the embarrassment of the award ceremony was finally interrupted.

But Adam Joke is still uneasy, because the series of embarrassments just now are just a warm-up.

Three or four awards later, the annual winning goal award was taken away by Link.

His half-court three-point buzzer beater in the "Fever Game" against the Raptors on January 21 ranked first with an overwhelming number of votes.

And this is the fourth award that Link has won tonight!

He is indeed the biggest winner, but the league has no way of giving any footage to the biggest winner.

The best performance award of the year goes to Link! Against the Rockets in December last year, Link scored the first 50+15+15 performance in NBA history, allowing him to easily win this award.

The fifth prize is in the bag!

After that, there's the postseason best moment award. In Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals, Link scored the winning goal against the Warriors at the last second, defended by Durant and Thompson, and won first place.

sixth!

Fans feel as if the name behind every award is Link, but they can't see where Link is.

Finally, the most important moment of the award ceremony arrived.

The selection results for the Defensive Player of the Year and Regular Season VP awards will be announced soon!

The joke was completely tense, because the embarrassment of the upcoming awards ceremony was about to reach its peak.

Garnett served as the award guest and announced the winner of the Defensive Player of the Year.

As always, it was followed by Link's name.

Link defeated Green and Leonard to win this award again.

However, since Link was not present, no one was sent to lead them. Therefore, after Garnett announced the results, he could only give a speech praising Link, and then send the trophy to Link afterwards.

"Link did not come to the scene because he needed to accompany his newborn child." Garnett said a lot, but no matter how good he said it, he could not replace the protagonist.

Link received his seventh individual honor tonight.

However, after such a major award was announced, the protagonist could not be seen, which was a bit of a waste of expression.

After the best defensive player, the much-anticipated vp award finally arrived.

This time, the award guest was the league president Joke himself.

Although Harden and Westbrook have both played very well this season, and Westbrook even averaged a triple-double per game, both of them were here today.

But the Grizzlies' epic 75 wins and Link's regular season averages of 29 points, 92 rebounds and 88 assists per game are too dazzling. Therefore, Harden and Westbrook are basically serving as foils today.

They themselves also know that their chances of winning the prize are slim.

In the end, the vp was indeed taken away by Link. This is the third time he has won the VP award in his career, and it is also the first time he has become the most valuable player after a year.

Of course, winning this award also allowed Link to surpass his predecessors in the number of VP awards.

However, just like the Best Defensive Player Award just now, since Link was not present, Joke could only say some blessings and praises by himself.

This was laid out for more than two hours and has been long-awaited by the fans. The two most important awards of the season were handed out hastily due to Link's absence!

At the very last moment of the award ceremony, I pulled my biggest crotch.

The joke was hilarious, and he even regretted that he had offended Link.

Although he is the president of the league, it turns out that without the support of a superstar like Link, he is just a mere commander.

After all, fans are watching the superstar, not the president.

There is no doubt that the reputation of this awards ceremony will be very bad.

But those have nothing to do with Link. He won eight awards in one night, including the best defensive player and vp. He was still the biggest winner of the first awards ceremony.

It’s true that when a person is sitting at home, the reward comes from heaven.

Many fans joked that the annual awards ceremony might as well be renamed the Link Commendation Ceremony.

That night, Joke sent Link a congratulatory text message.

From now on, his attitude towards Link must change 180°, and he must start to mend the rift with Link.

League president licks player

Just lick it, after all, this alliance is really not good without Link.
