One Thousand Two Hundred: All Ruled by Link (2/5)

Shaquille O'Neal was the first to take the stage as the host of this year's ceremony.

This year, T no longer has to deliberately show off the superstars who came to attend the ceremony. Because if you look down the stage, you will see all the superstars!

After all, even the host is one of the greatest behemoths in the league this year.

The luxurious lineup is evident!

Of course, T will still give Link close-ups from time to time.

Today, Link came to the scene with Rachel and his two-year-old daughter.

As today's protagonist, Link is the guarantee of ratings, and no amount of close-ups is too much for him.

As soon as O'Neal came on, he gave everyone a singing and dancing rap performance, which directly ignited the atmosphere of the scene.

In the audience, Doncic, another super star who is a strong contender for this year's Rookie of the Year award, couldn't care less about O'Neal.

He was sitting next to Link and had been chatting with Link.

Doncic sat next to Link, as excited as Kobe was sitting next to Jordan.

"Link, let's take a photo together!"

Link nodded, agreed to Doncic's request, and handed his mobile phone to the European genius.

A few minutes later, O'Neal's performance ended, and Doncic returned the phone to Link.

Link pulled up the photo album and took a look. In just a few minutes, Doncic actually took more than 00 selfies!

Moreover, among these more than 00 photos, there are not many serious group photos. Most of them are Doncic's own selfies.

Link really doesn't understand the brain circuits of young players.

But having said that, he has now become a super talented idol and a guide for countless young players.

Thinking about it, it feels really fulfilling.

"Dad, that uncle is so weird." While Link was deleting Doncic's selfies one by one, his little daughter beside him also complained.

However, Dongcic at the next table suddenly stood up and said, "Xiao Lin,

Call me brother! "

Both Link and Rachel couldn't help but smile. The annual awards ceremony didn't seem as boring as they thought.

O'Neal's performance is undoubtedly wonderful, but this is an awards ceremony after all, and who wins the award is the key.

The first person to take the stage to receive the award was Doncic. This funny guy won the Best Rookie Award without any suspense.

It is not surprising that Doncic, who averaged points, rebounds and an assist per game in his rookie year, won this award. Link's statistics in his second grade were similar to those of Doncic in his first grade.

As a European basketball player who has not experienced the NCAA system, Doncic's performance is simply miraculous.

Compared to Trae Young, who has more explosive scoring data, Doncic is obviously a better team leader. And the number one pick, Ayton, is not as impressive as Doncic in terms of statistics.

Therefore, Doncic deserves the Rookie of the Year award.

Link smiled and clapped in the audience. At this time, the camera gave him another close-up.

Everyone thought that Link was sincerely blessing the newcomer and was happy that he had a successor.

After all, Doncic is already recognized as Link's successor.

But in fact, what Link is thinking about is how to educate the best rookie next season.

As a seasoned veteran, the thrill of educating a newbie is what Link likes the most.

No matter how many times he does this kind of thing, Link will never get bored.

After Doncic came off the stage, he hugged Link excitedly. He felt that he must have impressed Link.

But something Link said when he hugged the European genius sent shivers down Doncic's spine.

"I can't wait to play against you next season, Luka, don't let me down."

Doncic swallowed, he was not looking forward to it at all

Doncic has been educated by Link several times this season. In one game, Link personally faced off against Doncic, and Doncic made 0 hits and made a mistake.

Link, the "King of Torment", left a huge psychological shadow on the young Doncic.

The next award was the Most Improved Player Award, which was also the first individual award Link received in his career.

-After Link won the Most Improved Player award this season, he took off completely.

This year, the winner of this award is Pascal Siakam, who just caused big trouble for the Grizzlies in the Finals.

From averaging rebounds and assists per game, with a three-point shooting percentage of 0, to rebounds and assists, three-point shooting percentage, and shining in the finals, Siakam's progress has been leaps and bounds.

However, when receiving the award, Siakam did not dare to look into Link's eyes in the audience. Because in the finals that just passed, it was Link who blocked Siakam at the last moment, causing the Raptors to completely lose the opportunity.

In that block, Siakam had obviously struggled to get into the air. He thought he would not encounter any obstacles. Unexpectedly, Link rushed in from an angle and hit the ball on the backboard with incredible height and intensity.

That goal made Siakam shut up for several days.

Link looked at Siakam's evasive eyes and curled his lips.

Am I that terrible?

First it was Doncic and then Siakam. Both young men were psychologically affected by Link.

However, it's not just them. In fact, most of the people who took the stage to receive the award today have an unforgettable past with Link.

Later, the Best Teammate Award was won by Link's good partner Conley. Conley is known for his good temper. He has never received a technical foul in so many years, and he is worthy of being the best teammate.

Conley may be the only person today who has not been psychologically affected by Link.

Later, Lu Wei, the best sixth man, will never forget the nights when he repeatedly wanted to explode, but was suppressed by Link with more terrifying firepower.

The best defensive player award was won by French spider Rudy Gobert.

But the embarrassing thing is that the best dunk of the year just announced was exactly the one when Link dunked on Gobert.

Therefore, when Gobert went up to receive the award, his smile was a little stiff.

It seemed as if he was winning this award to highlight Link's strength from the side.

Live shots showed Link again and again, and Mike Breen, who narrated today's award ceremony, laughed and said, "Link's dominance is unquestionable, because among the people receiving the award today, except for Conley, all of them have been dominated by Link. "

Finally, the most anticipated part of the annual awards ceremony has finally arrived.

Who the vp will belong to is what the fans are most concerned about. And this is also the reason why Link attended the award ceremony today.

Just thinking about Link being able to do what Jordan couldn't do makes him excited.

Everyone was on alert, and the atmosphere of the award ceremony instantly became tense.

In the past two years, there is really no suspense about the ownership of vp. But this year, two powerful competitors appeared around Link.

One is Harden, that guy has performed at a poetry level this year. Average points per game, consecutive 0+ games, and consecutive scoring championship. Although the Rockets have a poor record this year, Harden's personal performance is indeed impeccable.

Another competitor is Antetokounmpo, a Greek who was once as thin as a bamboo pole, but led the team to 0 wins in the Eastern Conference without James last season. Moreover, he also played a very dominant performance in the game.

Most teams are helpless with the "Greek Monster". His impact and physical condition allow him to easily tear apart the opponent's defense.

While his personal data is very good, he also has a team record that Harden does not have.

Of course, Link is still the favorite.

Averaging 0 points, rebounds and assists per game, Link's nearly triple-double data per game is amazing. In fact, as long as Link works a little bit, he is fully capable of averaging a triple-double per game.

However, as we all know, Link has never been interested in brushing data.

In addition to the beautiful statistics, the Grizzlies' league-leading record is also very advantageous.

Overall, Link is still the best overall player in the league.

His scoring is not as abnormal as Harden's, and his physical condition is not as subversive as Antetokounmpo.

But the fact is that none of them are as powerful as Link.

Adam's joke ended with a smile, and this time, he laughed very happily.

Because the most important award at the awards ceremony was finally received by someone this year.

The joke first praised Harden and Antetokounmpo, but in the end, the name behind the VP trophy was still Link!

As always, no one can shake Link's rule.

At that moment, all the guests in the audience stood up and applauded. Including historical stars such as Kobe and O'Neal, they are only supporting roles today.

Antetokounmpo brought his entire family and prepared a long acceptance speech.

But seeing that it was Link who won the award, Antetokounmpo was convinced.

For the first time, Link stood on the podium at the award ceremony, and for the first time, Joke could hand the vp trophy to its owner instead of the courier.

Link raised the trophy without crying, nor did he have so many glorious words.

Although Link became the fourth person in the history of the NBA to achieve three consecutive VP wins and did what Jordan also failed to do, Link was very calm.

He thanked his wife, teammates and friends, and then said something that left many scratching their heads.

"Next, everything will officially begin."

After saying that, Link stepped down. Although he only said a few words, the ratings of the award ceremony reached its peak, and the applause from the scene continued for a long time. .

Bill Simmons, who was silently applauding in the audience, understood what Link meant.

If Link and Jordan were racing, then before, Link could only be regarded as struggling to catch up.

And now, at this corner, Link is about to officially start overtaking!

But having said that, the Grizzlies' prospects for winning next season are not optimistic.

Because all kinds of rumors about the Grizzlies have been circulating for a long time.

The "gluttonism" summarized by Pat Riley reappeared just like the summer after the Grizzlies won their first three consecutive championships.

It is basically impossible to completely retain the Grizzlies' dynasty lineup.

Bill Simmons couldn't help but worry, this last corner was really difficult.
