The best team is also freshly released, and this awards ceremony only has the last award that has not been announced, and that is the NBA Lifetime Award.
Strictly speaking, this is the finale of this awards ceremony!
At this moment, even John Cena was extremely serious. In the center of the stage, five legendary insiders appeared one by one-O'Neal, Mutombo, Mourning, David Robinson, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, these five great centers collectively took the stage. The oldest "Sky Go" Kareem Abdul-Jabbar gave a speech and invited the most important person, the predecessors and mentors of their five major centers-Bill Russell, the first annual lifetime achievement award winner!
It took more than twenty seconds for the audience to wait for the appearance of the old man-the 83-year-old old man was already stumbling, and finally he was helped by Mourning to reach the center of the stage. When his figure appeared, everyone in the audience stood up unanimously and saluted the true legend with warm applause!
The body of the old man is indeed not as good as before...

He has a well-known nickname called The Lord of the Rings; the finals MVP trophy, also known as the FMVP trophy, is named after him.
Russell is one of the most influential players in the early NBA. He created the longest championship dynasty in North American sports history. But in addition to his outstanding performance on the court, Russell was also the first black coach in NBA history and the first black coach in the history of the American Sports League. In the 1950s and 1960s, Russell made these unprecedented achievements in the face of the ubiquitous racial prejudice and racial discrimination of blacks. His courage and dignity to overcome all of this inspired all Americans, and his excellent character is also a role model for NBA players.
At today’s awards ceremony, Old Russell, leaning on a cane, counted the five people lined up behind him—five great centers as his heirs, and said:
I’m still Can kick your (can hit five)!" In a word, amused the audience.
Next, the old man said: "Thank you everyone. I don't know how much I respect you. I thank you for working hard in your own way. I am proud to participate in a sport with you."
At this time, the live broadcast footage was brought to the audience, everyone was listening in solemn silence, and many people had tears in their eyes-when the real legend descends in front of everyone, you will be extremely touched!
In 13 years of his professional career, Russell played a total of 963 regular-season games, averaging 42.3 minutes per game, surrendering 15.1 points, 22.5 rebounds and 4.3 assists. In total, he was elected regular season MVP 5 times, 1 All-Star MVP, 3 best Best team first team, 8 second team and 1 best defensive team first team.

Xu Xuan was also very emotional off the court, especially when he heard the old man say that he was going to blow up the five of them, Uncle Mu smiled, O'Neill also smiled, everyone laughed.
How should I put it, this is the history of the NBA, the heritage, the culture, and the feelings!
......
The moving and exciting moment passed, and the award ceremony ended.
Everyone goes back to each house to find each mother.
Xu Xuan received a good deal this time.
The first is the scoring king.
Followed by the regular season MVP and the best team.
There are three awards in total. They don't seem to be many, but they are full of gold rims.
Back to Los Angeles from New York.
Before it has time to fix it, the playoff games over there have continued.
The Lakers are okay here. The game is on the 19th, and many teams play on the 18th, so the time is very fast!
How to put it, the award ceremony held this time is of great significance, but the time is too tight, which is not good.
But for the first time, it was a bit unexpected.
Then Xu Xuan was not in the mood to care about the record of other teams.
After watching the first game, it can be seen how the subsequent games are more or less specific.
The Lakers and Grizzlies started the second game of this round on the 19th.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, Staples Arena was already brightly lit.
The scene was full of spectators.
The Grizzlies have not left Los Angeles in the past two days. As the previous loser, they have been licking their wounds in Los Angeles.
How should I put it, as the previous loser, the Grizzlies themselves are quite confused.
Because from the performance of the previous game, the Grizzlies maintained all their advantages in the first three quarters, which was a comeback in the fourth quarter.
Does it mean that as long as we play better in the fourth quarter, the Lakers can't win? !
Most of the Grizzlies think so.
How else do you think?
The Grizzlies really didn't think they would lose.
However, when the game started, everyone on the Grizzlies was sluggish!
Because, in the first quarter, the Grizzlies were killed by the imposing Lakers, 34 to 19 in a single quarter!
The Lakers led by 15 points!
This is simply outrageous!
"This is going to lose, what happened to the Grizzlies today?" Ke Fan asked in doubt.
In fact, he should ask another question, what happened to the Lakers today!
Why is it so cruel!
It's so cruel!
It's almost two teams with the Lakers in front, not at all.
Although the Lakers in the last game played fiercely in the end, they played relatively conservatively in the first three quarters. Who would have thought that in this game, the Lakers would directly come up with a mess.
This chaos almost didn't chip out the heads of the Grizzlies.
I was 15 points behind in the first quarter, or the playoffs. How should I play this game?
What to fight?
Everyone on the Grizzlies was a bit blinded.
However, in the second quarter, with the encouragement of head coach David Fizdale, everyone still raised their confidence.
But it seems to be useless... Their carefully arranged defense line seems to have collapsed without even resisting the Lakers' first offense!
The game seems to have no suspense...
2 to 0!
The Lakers lead!
Memphis fans are dead.
Before this round of the series, they were quite confident.
Especially after the last game, although they lost, they did see hope.
Who would have thought that this scene would suddenly become like this.
"Jie was 0 to 2?"
"I rub! Are they so cruel?"
"You won't be 0 to 4, friends?"
"If it is 0 to 4, it will be sad."
Grizzlies fans are heartbroken.
Don't want to be 0 to 4!
If it is 0 to 4, how do they go to see Jiangdong father!
Win a game, you must win a game!
4 to 0 is too ugly!
According to the rules of the NBA playoff series, the first two games are played on the top ranked teams, the middle two games are played on the lower ranked teams, the fifth game is played on the high ranked teams, and the sixth game is played on the top ranked teams. After the team, the final tie-break was in the high-ranked team.
The level is clear.
Now, the Lakers have won two wins, so the next two games are played on the Grizzlies' home court.
On April 22, three days later, the Lakers collectively came to Memphis.
"Oh, this kind of 2-0 lead feels really good." Ingram walked off the plane with a lazy waist, and Russell next to him carefully avoided him, because he was carrying a pack of snacks and there was Xu Xu. Xuan's has his own, and there are also compassionate.
Don't ask why there is Ci Shiping. Although there is no Ci Shiping in Frank's list, Ci Shiping considers himself a "locker room leader" and it is of course impossible to miss any game now.
"Hey, man, you are floating!" Xu Xuan glanced at him.
"How can I, boss, didn't I secretly sigh with emotion?" Ingram immediately pleased him and helped Xu Xuan hold the bag in his hand.
With a flattering expression, Russell who looked at him frowned for a while.
Huh, such a cheap guy is my teammate?
No, I don't have such a teammate, this is a dog!
"Don't be careless, guys." Xu Xuan, empty-handed, turned his head and said, "After all, this is their home court. It's not that simple to win."
Xu Xuan did not put them too much pressure~EbookFREE.me~The first game was mainly to make them adapt to the rhythm of the next playoffs, but from the second game onwards, Xu Xuan was not prepared to spend any more time, early Rest early after the fight so that you can save your energy to face the winners of the Rockets and Clippers.
Relatively speaking, the strength of the Grizzlies is still a lot worse than those of the two teams.
The first game let them know that the playoffs are not easy to play, and the second game gave them confidence. In the next two games, Xu Xuan is about to cut the mess!
Still waiting to advance, Xu Xuan didn't have so much time to waste on these people.
April 22!
After three days, everyone on the Grizzlies re-adjusted their confidence and state.
It's common to be two games behind in the start of the playoffs, and it doesn't mean that two games behind you must lose.
They still have a chance!
Just seize this opportunity at home.
however.
Reality slapped them severely again.
Just when they were confident that they were about to make a comeback against the sky, Xu Xuan brought the Lakers to another massacre!
3 to 0!
Then on April 24, a day later, the Lakers won again!
4 to 0!
Directly swept the score and advanced to the second round!
at the same time.
After experiencing the thrills of the first game, the Cavaliers didn't give the Pacers any more chances. They also swept 4-0 into the second round.
In the other three games in the East, the Toronto Raptors beat the Bucks, the Boston Celtics beat the Bulls, and the Washington Wizards beat the Atlanta Hawks, all of which were only 2 to 2!
Go against each other!
The Warriors did not have any accidents in the Thunder. They are currently 3-1, the Spurs are also 3-1 in the Jazz, and the Rockets are 2-2 in the Clippers.
It can also be seen from here that the three teams of the Lakers, Warriors, and Spurs are simply terrifyingly stable!
