The god-level lottery of the sports world

“Dirk, to be honest, I’m all touched by what you said.” Hao Shuai said with a smile, “But it’s not time to think about these things, you know I still have the playoffs to play, and there will be a long offseason.” ”

Nowitzki was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: “Yes, there is also the Rio Olympics this year, and you have made it to the Olympics.” ”

“Olympics?” Nowitzki reminded Hao Shuai that the men’s basketball team still has an Olympic Games to play this year, but the national team has not contacted him so far.

“Dirk.” At this time, Delon returned, and this conversation between Hao Shuai and Nowitzki ended there.

After chatting for a while, Hao Shuai saw that more than half an hour had passed, and then got up to leave.

Back in the box, the teammates had completely turned over, and Harden disappeared, saying that it was with a few big farts. The woman left first.

Hao Shuai reminded his teammates to go back early, and then took a taxi back to the rental house first.

With the first round of playoffs playing, there are still four days left before the start of the second round, which is a rare break for the teams that have advanced.

However, Hao Shuai is not idle, because at this time, the NBA began to announce some important awards.

The NBA has a number of awards every season, the most important is the regular season MVP, which is also the latest, and like others, such as Best Coach, Most Improved Award, Best Sixth Man, First Team, and Defensive First Team, etc., will be announced around the first and second rounds.

The best sixth man and best coach have been announced before, with the Clippers’ Crawford winning the sixth man, while the best coach was picked by the Warriors’ Kerr without suspense.

Immediately following these two awards are awards for rookies, including rookies first, second, and third, and the best rookie.

Hao Shuai averaged 26.3 points per game in the 2015~2016 season (sixth in the league), plus 5.6 rebounds, 7.7 assists, 1.6 blocks, 3.2 steals (first in the league), 2-point shooting rate of 56%, three-point shooting rate of 91% (first in history).

With such data, Hao Shuai has become the best defender of the rookie team without suspense.

After the rookie roster is announced, the best rookie is to be announced.

The only one who can hit Hao Shuai is Downs, who averaged 18.3 points, 10.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.6 blocks per game this season, shooting 54.2% from the field.

However, whether it is the team’s record or statistical performance, Downs’ impact on Hao Shuai is also very limited.

On the evening of April 23, US time, the league ushered in the day when the best rookie was announced.

On this day, Hao Shuai dressed in a suit and shoes, and the two rookies, Downs and Porzingis, went to the NBA’s headquarters building in New York.

In the building’s press conference office, including a host of media and sports journalists, the results of the best rookies will finally be born here.

In addition to Lin Xiaoqing, Hao Shuai came with Rockets general manager Morey, team coach Bickstaff, and Hao Shuai’s teammate Harden.

The award time adds up to about twenty minutes, which is more like a passing situation, but in fact, for players, this career can only have one honor, and the gold content is very high.

After a period of foreshadowing and introduction, Alliance President Adam Xiaohua walked to the head of the press conference in a suit.

“The NBA Rookie of the 2015~2016 season is…” Xiao Hua said, taking out the envelope containing the voting results, and after opening it, he said, “Hao Shuai.” ”

The moment Hao Shuai’s name was pronounced, there was a burst of cheers on the Rockets lineup.

“He received all the first votes in the 252 ballots, and 125 second votes, and he got 72 percent of the vote, which is a historic number.” Xiao Hua then introduced.

“On top of that, he made a lot of history as he was the fifth rookie unanimously elected, the first Asian to be named Rookie of the Year, and the first player in NBA history to be named Rookie of the Year as a second-round pick.”

“He is destined to be a great player, let us welcome him with the warmest applause, Hao Shuai.”

When Xiao Hua spoke, Downs and Porzingis both got up to applaud Hao Shuai, as the rookies of the same year, they did not fight Hao Shuai, to say that this best rookie is someone else, they will be somewhat unconvinced, but if they are handsome, it is really not the slightest temper.

Hao Shuai stood up from his seat, and the reporters and media next to him suddenly flashed magnesium lights.

Hao Shuai walked up to the stage and received the best rookie trophy printed with the NBA logo from Xiao Hua’s hand, and after the two took a photo, Xiao Hua then stepped down.

Speech is not Hao Shuai’s talent, after all, he is an authentic otaku, but fortunately, he has a lot of confidence in his award, so he has already prepared the manuscript.

“First of all, I want to thank all the journalists and media friends who voted for me, 72% of the vote, which is a cool number, at least I don’t have to be the same as the original Rookie of the Month, and unfortunately lost the election.”

Hao Shuai’s self-deprecating opening remarks immediately attracted a burst of laughter from reporters in the audience.

“You deserve this recognition.” A reporter in the audience shouted.

Hao Shuai smiled, this reporter is right, from the beginning because of the color of the color of the discrimination, to now won the recognition of all the media and reporters, all by himself step by step.

“I want to thank the Houston Rockets, who picked me first in the second round, trusted me and gave me the opportunity, and I also want to thank the other twenty-nine teams who played well and intensified my performance, even though they may have some regrets now.”

When Hao Shuai said this, there was another burst of laughter in the audience, but the several general managers present felt a hot pain on their faces, just like Hao Shuai said thank you for looking down on me after being selected, and now this half-ridiculous remark makes them even more ashamed.

You know, they all missed Hao Shuai because of their prejudice against yellow people, and now a season later, it turns out that what they missed is definitely not just the best rookie, but the cornerstone of the team that is rare in decades.
