Chapter 1136 2017~2018 Season Awards Ceremony

Tang Tian was elected as the chairman of the players union, and the vice chairman of the union was also changed.

Iguodala became the union's chief vice president, and Brogdon, Jaylen Brown and Biyombo also became the new vice presidents.

The term of this term is the same as in the past, which is four years.

The news was announced quickly and was unanimously recognized by the players.

In the past four years, since Paul became the union president, James has become the chief vice president, and Anthony and Wade are also one of the vice presidents.

This also caused dissatisfaction among many mid-level players.

Is this the players union that you co-authored is the private union of your banana boat brothers?

Although this dissatisfaction has not been expressed publicly, doubts are certainly inevitable.

But this time around, except for Tang Tian, ​​none of the others were hard-training brothers.

Naturally, there is no such doubt in such a combination.

Tatum regained control of the league and Tang Tian became the chairman of the union. This series of events during the NBA off-season gave fans great encouragement.

They are looking forward to the new season more and more.

However, before the award ceremony is over, the door to the new season has not officially opened.

On June 20th, U.S. time, two days before the start of the draft night, NBA officials held the first season awards ceremony in Los Angeles.

The purpose of Xiao Hua's previous reform was to make the awards more honorable and committed to creating the Oscars of the NBA.

Although he has now stepped down, the award ceremony must continue.

The hosts of this awards ceremony are two golden partners of TNT, Barkley and Kenny Smith.

The awards ceremony in the first year was very fresh. In addition to the invited candidates, there were also many local Hollywood stars in Los Angeles.

This also added a lot of starlight to the award ceremony and attracted a lot of attention.

And unlike those regular season awards established in the past, this awards ceremony has a total of 20 awards, which is full of highlights.

Although there are 20 awards, the ones worth paying attention to are the big ones.

Prior to this, the candidate list had been released in advance.

Rookie of the Year: Karmanen, Donovan Mitchell, Tatum;

Most Improved Award: Capela, Siakam, Middleton;

Sixth Man of the Year: Eric Gordon, Lou Williams, Siakam;

Best Defensive Player: Tang Tian, ​​Butler, Rudy Gobert;

Best head coach: Stevens, Budenholzer, Carlisle;

Best General Manager: Demps (Pelicans), Jon Horst (Bucks), Nelson (Mavericks);

Regular season MVP: Tang Tian, ​​James, Harden;

In addition, the All-NBA and All-Defensive teams without candidates are also worthy of attention.

In fact, this aspect can also be seen from the players invited to the scene.

For example, Walker of the Pelicans did not appear on the announced candidate list, but he also appeared at the scene in a suit and tie.

It's obvious that he can make at least the third team this year.

The award ceremony is an evening party, and the invited players have a separate round table with desserts and fruits.

This is much the same situation as the Oscars.

Tang Tian attended the awards show with Olson and his two sons.

No matter how you judge him, he will win a prize tonight, so his wife and children must be indispensable for this glorious moment.

His two sons continued his excellent genes as they grew older, and became more handsome as they grew older. They also attracted the attention of a large number of fans before the party started.

But it was not them who attracted the most attention, but Tatum who was once again in charge of the league.

There are always people around him constantly coming to say hello to him. There is no assessment period for his comeback this time, so he can be said to be quite high-spirited.

Time flies, and at 7pm, the award ceremony officially begins.

Barkley and Smith, the two golden partners, have a perfect rapport and hosting a show like this is no problem.

Moreover, the league officials also assigned them a talk show host to help them, and the ceremony quickly got into rhythm after it started.

First to announce the Most Improved Award.

In the end, Siakam of the Pelicans was elected over Capela and Middleton.

Siakam had almost no regular season data last season, but this season he averaged 10.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks per game, with a shooting percentage of 52%.

The Pelicans are able to achieve this data in a highly competitive team, and they are well-deserved for this Most Improved Award.

Siakam stood up and hugged his relatives and friends. It was really not easy to win this award in his sophomore year.

After taking the stage, he also delivered his own acceptance speech. He thanked the Pelicans and especially Tang Tian.

Tang Tian asked him to participate in the Hard Training Brothers training camp last summer, which really helped him improve.

This was also the first time that the Kulian Brothers training camp was mentioned in front of the public, which immediately attracted a burst of attention from reporters in the audience.

It can be predicted that after tonight, the Hardworking Brotherhood will become as well-known as the Banana Boat Brothers.

Following the Most Improved Award is Sixth Man of the Year.

In the end, Lou Williams of the Clippers was successfully elected.

Although the Clippers have a poor record, there is no doubt about Williams' performance.

His averages of 23.6 points, 2.5 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game are also unmatched by Siakam and Gordon.

It starts with two very important awards, but then comes a series of new awards.

This part is also interesting.

The best dunk award of the year, the best assist award of the year, the best block award of the year, the best key ball award of the year, the best round award of the year, and the annual dribbling award.

There are a total of 6 awards in this series. After the sixth man, there are the best dunk and the best assist.

These two awards were all won by Tang Tian alone.

The best assist came from the Pelicans and Warriors game.

Tang Tiantian moved around in the air, passed the ball without looking at anyone after a stroll, and assisted Davis' tomahawk dunk.

It was a great shot, but it was the best dunk that followed that got the crowd roaring.

There was basically no suspense about this dunk. It was Tang Tian's actual 720° dunk against the Trail Blazers in the playoffs.

And what's very interesting is that the three candidates for the best dunk are all Tang Tian's.

One dunked on Nurkic in the same game, and the other dunked on Vucevic against the Magic before.

Tang Tian became the dunk king this year, and his dunks have become a new beautiful sight in the league.

Tang Tian went on stage to receive awards one after another. As he spoke, he found that he was just as at a loss for words as he was when he won three consecutive championships.

He suddenly felt that this award ceremony was really not good. He came on stage again and again, and in the end he really had nothing to say.

And the key point is that this is not the first time he has encountered such a situation!

He had already experienced it when the men's basketball team participated in the annual domestic sports figure competition!

The award ceremony is really not fun!

But it's a good start, and we can clearly feel that Tang Tian will have a great harvest at this year's award ceremony!
