"Congratulations to An, congratulations to be the second person in NBA history to win the best defensive player for three consecutive years." At the post-match press conference, reporters congratulated An Jie one after another.

On the stage, Anjie held up the small trophy that symbolized the best defensive player and looked at the camera. This is already the third best defensive player trophy in three years since Anjie joined the Trail Blazers. Anjie became the second person in NBA history to win the best defensive player award for three consecutive years. Coincidentally, Anjie just defeated the first person to achieve this achievement - Dwight Howard.

At this moment, there is no press conference to care about the game between the Trail Blazers and the Rockets. Because this round of series has actually ended. Anjie's consecutive defending award for Best Defensive Player is the biggest news now.

Anjie's deterrence against the penalty area does not require data analysis, and you can see it clearly with your naked eyes. Qiao Jin Noah, who ranks second in the best player voting this season, is far from Anjie.

This is the horror of Anjie. Not only can he win awards, but he can always leave the second place far away.

"It's now three consecutive times, which is a very amazing result. You know, the people who have won the most awards for Best Defensive Player in history are Ben Wallace and Mutombo, who won four times respectively. But now, you have three in your hand. Do you think you can hold the same or break the record 4 times?" A beautiful reporter stood up, and she quickly got to the point and asked a question that the whole world is concerned about. How many more awards can Anjie win?

"Dickenbe and Da Ben have always been players I look forward to. When I was a child, the room was full of their posters and dreamed of being a defensive monster like them. So, I will definitely try my best to chase them. I don't know how many more I can win the Best Defensive Player Award, but I will definitely do my best!" Anjie held his own trophy, and the player sculpture on the trophy was opened with his arms and his eyes were firm, which was simply a copy of Anjie on the court.

Is the best defense? This is just the first step in Angel's success this season. The Trail Blazers' 72 wins will undoubtedly make them beat the whole side in the regular season award competition!

The day after the competition, NBA officially announced the name of the best coach of the year.

George Ricard, a popular coach who is not liked by fans in other cities but has a very popular reputation in Portland, has become the first coach in NBA history to win awards for two consecutive years.

Although Ricard had temporarily left due to physical reasons in the middle of this season, although the Spurs coach Popovich also did a very good job this year, when Ricard brought out the score of 72 wins, all other adverse factors would automatically fail.

Although the selection of the best coach is comprehensive, the record must always be considered first. Ricard's 72 wins this season have made the results of other nominated coaches look pale.

In two days, the Trail Blazers became the protagonists in both regular season awards. Before the playoffs reached the last moment, the Trail Blazers began to reap honors.

Other teams that are fighting are only jealous now. Everyone knows that the Trail Blazers will definitely beat all the important awards this season. Especially the center forward like Joe Jin Noah, who finally succeeded in making a name but was crushed by An Jie, felt even more aggrieved.

Now, all the players who should be taken have been taken, and Portland fans have only two things to continue waiting.

First, it is the regular season MVP trophy this season. The fans of Rose City believe that the block king, rebounding king and second-place scoring An Jie can continue to join this prize. As for the second thing they are waiting for, there is no doubt that the Trail Blazers have entered the second championship trophy since the 21st century!

The Houston Rockets are now surviving, and both players and fans have set their sights on the Western Conference Finals.

The San Antonio Spurs and the Oklahoma City Thunder, these two teams are the only obstacles for the Trail Blazers to rush out of the West!

※※※

On May 11, today, just one week after the Rockets advanced to the Western Conference Finals, they had to face the fact that they were about to be eliminated.

Seven days ago, the Rockets, who returned to the playoffs and made the first round five years later, came to Portland with ambitions. However, today, at their home court, Toyota Center, the Rockets' locker room was dead silent.

After three games, the Rockets players have lost confidence in continuing to compete with the Trail Blazers. They just want to finish this game quickly and start vacationing quickly. In short, don’t let everyone’s attention be on their failures anymore.

Howard walked casually in the player passage at Toyota Center. He had just come out of the locker room and planned to go to the training ground to have a quiet rest.

The impact this series brought to Howard was too big. In the first round of the playoffs last year, Howard was beaten by Angel to the ground, and he still had excuses because the Lakers' lineup was extremely incomplete last year.

But this year, the Rockets, who had a big hit in the regular season, still couldn't withstand the impact of An Jie and the Trail Blazers. This time, Howard found that he had no excuses to find. The gap between him and An Jie was widening, and what Howard was thinking about at this moment was how to make up for this damn gap.

The "World" who led the Magic team to the finals alone, the championship fire that ignited in his heart has not yet been extinguished.

"Dong!" Just as Howard lowered his head and thought, he suddenly felt that he had hit someone. He looked up and saw a guy in a suit and tie sitting on the ground, and the box in his hand fell beside him.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Dwight, I'm a little too anxious." The young man in a suit stood up and apologized to Howard repeatedly.

"It's okay, be careful when walking in the future." How could he have any trouble with Howard's strong body hit an ordinary person? But Howard was a little surprised. This young man in a suit and tie had never seen him in the Toyota Center before.

The young man hurriedly picked up the box on the ground. He first closed his eyes and drew a cross on his chest, and then he suddenly opened his eyes and looked into the delicate and sturdy box. Except for the huge NBA logo that was more conspicuous, the box was nothing special. Howard didn't know what this guy was nervous about.

"Thank God! If it breaks, I will be over for my life!" The young man felt relieved. He stood up with the box, walked past the young man and glanced into the box, then he lowered his head again.

Gradually, Howard clenched his fists at the training ground, and he gritted his teeth, feeling unwilling.

When he pushed the door and walked into the training ground, there was no one inside. Howard kept his head down and fist clenched, and under the basketball stand, a thick layer of soft pad was specially wrapped in that place.

Howard raised his head slightly, staring at the pad.

"Damn it!" Howard yelled in the empty training ground and punched the basketball stand with a hard punch!

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!" Howard yelled continuously, his hands constantly swinging his fists. The soft pads of the basketball stand were clattered, as if he could no longer withstand such damage.

Just now, Howard caught a glimpse of something that made him almost out of control in that delicate little box - the regular season MVP trophy. The young man he had never met in the Toyota Center must be the official staff of the NBA.

What does it mean to appear here in the MVP trophy? It means that after the game is over, the league will use the time of the press conference to present awards to Anjie! Because at this moment, only Anjie meets the MVP standard in this stadium.

Howard was unwilling to give up, and An Jie actually threw himself far into the rearview mirror. Two times, An Jie had already won this supreme honor twice. However, Howard could only see these in his dreams.

Back then, An Jie was not qualified to compare himself with him. When he led the Magic to the finals, An Jie was just a rookie who couldn't even make the playoffs. However, the gradually stronger opponents used their actual results to exchange positions.

In this empty training ground, Howard vented his emotions. The "Warcraft" that could dominate the penalty area was completely gone from today... After all, the last high school student in NBA history was too stimulating and hit too much...

"Dwight passed the ball! He didn't choose the box, but passed the ball! That was definitely an opportunity just now. Even if Ann was next to him, he should try it!" Mike Brin couldn't believe that Howard would actually give up a dunk opportunity.

"Dwight has been unable to be excited today. Maybe the Rockets' defeat has been decided, which has made Dwight lose his confidence."

Of course, the commentators don’t know why Howard is so low, because now the entire stadium is close to 20,000 people, only Howard knows what will happen next.

The Trail Blazers will successfully defeat the Rockets, and Anjie will proudly win the MVP trophy with the help of this east wind. Howard knew that he and the Rockets could only be the losers in this play.

The Rockets have relied heavily on the "Modern" and now Howard has lost his motivation, so the Rockets really don't get any chance.

The game entered garbage time early, and the commentators even talked about how the Trail Blazers would deal with the Spurs or the Thunder. This game has lost its meaning.

122 to 105, this is the Rockets' best singer performance at the Toyota Center this season. It was swept 4 to 0. This result is also in sharp contrast to the Rockets' tiebreaker with the Lakers five years ago.

McHale's shouting of the cemetery was still filled with the stadium, and the Rockets players hugged each other one by one. No matter what the result was, after all, we worked hard together for a whole year.

Anjie raised his arms high and high-high in the air. His and his teammates' performance in this round of the series is worthy of recognition. And this group of guys who advanced again don't know that there will be a bigger surprise waiting for them at the press conference later.

The regular season MVP trophy of this season has been waiting for his master in the media reception room. The wish list of Trail Blazers fans this season is the only one left to O'Brien Cup has not yet been realized!
Chapter completed!
