“Damn it, is there really poison! A super long three-pointer from the backcourt, a sure-kill shot that bounced out! The Pelicans are really unlucky to the extreme!”

“Who remembers who Jordan favored on TNT before?”

“Holy crap! You explained everything with that one sentence. His Airness is really toxic now!”

“If the Finals were the Warriors versus the Knicks, that would be fun.”

“If it were Adam Silver, would he let the whistle be biased at this time? And then force a Pelicans-Cavaliers Season 2 script?”

“Bullshit, Silver wouldn't favor the Pelicans, but now that Tatum is in charge, I'm really worried about which player will get injured again.”

“Don't worry, it's only been three games, just watch, the Pelicans will win the next game, Tang will explode!”

“Tang will definitely explode, but I'm afraid His Airness's poison is too strong...”

…

After the third game of the Eastern and Western Conference Finals, the landscape changed unexpectedly.

For fans of the Cavaliers and Pelicans, this was undoubtedly a difficult time, but for other fans, the games became even more anticipated.

Especially the Western Conference Finals.

If the Pelicans lost again, they would trail 1-3.

The two teams had been evenly matched in the past few games, especially the second and third games, which came down to one possession.

At this time, if there was some mysterious force controlling things, then losing would be a matter of minutes.

The next game was still in Oakland, a golden opportunity for the Warriors.

The day before, two major events took place in the league.

The fourth game of the Eastern Conference Finals was held at Madison Square Garden.

To everyone's surprise, Howard, who had previously announced that his season was over due to a broken collarbone, took the court with a shoulder brace!

This scene made the New York fans erupt.

Years ago, Knicks legend Willis Reed played in Game 7 of the Finals with a serious leg injury and helped the team win the championship.

That was the NBA's famous "Reed Moment."

Now Howard had recreated that scene, the Happy Beast had completely changed after arriving in New York.

Howard's appearance greatly boosted the Knicks' morale. They played with all their might and narrowly defeated the Cavaliers at home again, tying the series at 2-2!

After this game, the "Knicks versus Warriors" comments that fans had previously only made in jest might actually become a reality!

Some fans even said, "The Knicks have done it, it's up to the Warriors now."

For the first time, the outside舆论舆论 favored the Warriors defeating the Pelicans.

The Pelicans were under unprecedented pressure.

But it was also at this time that the league announced the fifth batch of important season awards.

This time there was still only one award, but its significance was the highest of all the awards.

Regular Season MVP!

This year's MVP race was mainly concentrated on Tang Tian, James, Leonard, Harden, Westbrook, Curry, Durant and others.

Among these people, Tang Tian's voice was undoubtedly the highest.

The team's record was first in the league, his personal stats were a triple-double average, and he also won the Defensive Player of the Year.

To be honest, unless there was a clear statistical error or obvious fraud in the selection, there would not be much suspense about the ownership of this MVP.

This was completely different from last year, or even the past few years.

The final result also proved this.

Tang Tian received all 113 first-place votes, with 39% of the vote, successfully elected the 2016-2017 season regular season MVP!

Following last year, Tang Tian won this year's MVP again!

And this time it was unanimous!

The first time in NBA history!

After the NBA officially announced the news, all the fans and media were沸腾沸腾.

In TNT's latest program, Shaquille O'Neal focused on analyzing how difficult it was to be unanimously selected.

It should be known that even Tang Tian, who led the team to 74 wins last year, failed to do this.

First of all, your personal stats must be better than everyone else's, and they have to be far ahead.

Tang Tian did this this season, he won the league's scoring title, assist title, and steals title! Gathering the three titles in one.

And he had a quadruple-double in the season, consecutive quadruple-doubles, 11 consecutive triple-doubles, and finally a regular season triple-double average!

In terms of personal stats alone, no one could surpass him.

Secondly, your personal stats and team record must have a large enough improvement.

On this point, the Pelicans had 74 wins last season, and only 70 wins this year, so there was no improvement to speak of, but note that the Pelicans had 70 wins for two consecutive seasons!

And in terms of personal stats, Tang Tian's triple-double average was a huge improvement compared to last year's data, this was the key!

In addition, with Westbrook's triple-double but no record comparison, Tang Tian's data improvement was even more amazing!

Third, your competitors didn't have a god-like performance either.

Unanimous means that you are everyone's first choice, if it was like Curry last season who led the team to 73 wins and had a great performance, it would be impossible to get all the votes no matter what.

This season, neither James, Leonard, nor Harden, Curry, or Durant had such a performance.

The only one with a triple-double average, Westbrook, also seemed less dazzling because of the comparison with Tang Tian.

Fourth, in nationally televised games, you have to have a first-class performance.

Tang Tian completely did this too, leading the team to beat the Cavaliers in the season opener, a triple-double against the Warriors on Christmas, and a quadruple-double against the Rockets afterwards...

He led the team to win all of these key games, and his personal performance was also quite dazzling.

"The new basketball god!"

This was a word that commentators mentioned more than once in the game.

Fifth, you have to have good enough relations with the media.

No matter how well you play, some people may not vote for you, such as O'Neal and Kobe in the past, who had always had a bad relationship with the media.

So as historical superstars, they only had one MVP in their careers, let alone a unanimous MVP.

This was quite rare.

Tang Tian was another typical example in this regard, he had a very good attitude towards fans and the media.

He would agree to fans' requests for autographs and photos, and he always had a very good attitude in media interviews.

TNT was now a Tang-loving media, and ESPN was also fully promoting Tang Tian as the league's number one player.

With the two major mainstream media like this, not to mention other media.

And Fox Sports, the only one with contradictions, did not dare to provoke him because of the Adam Silver incident.

Just like O'Neal said, Tang Tian was able to be unanimously elected by combining the above five conditions.

"If someone else was elected, I would say that the current league is worse than before, but Tang still has this kind of performance under the new penalty standards, I can definitely say that he has a chance to be unanimously elected in any era."

After O'Neal's analysis, Barkley also sighed from the bottom of his heart.

"Who says otherwise?"

Kenny Smith expressed his approval in the simplest way.

TNT was hyping, and the fans on social media were also hyping, and it was crazy hyping.

"O'Neal is a real Tang-lover, but the hype is flawless, Tang's unanimous election proves one thing, he is the NBA's number one player!"

"What the hell is there to hype about? A season triple-double average, 70 wins, isn't it natural to get a unanimous MVP?"

"I think this year's MVP selection, to quote Popovich's words at Duncan's jersey retirement ceremony, this is really a very difficult decision, so difficult that the cats and dogs in your home can make this decision!"

"It is regrettable and shocking that such a Tang, in this year's All-Star vote, did not get any second or third place votes!"

"Isn't it that if you choose the first place vote, you can't choose the second and third place votes?"

"Catch an honest person (ಡwಡ)"
