Chapter 217 The First MVP
47 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, and 3 steals, this data broke multiple records.
First up is the scoring record, 47 points, the most ever scored in a rookie challenge.
There are also 11 three-pointers, which is also the three-point record of the Rookie Challenge, and it is far ahead of No.2.
These two records are estimated to be difficult to break for a while.
Of course, James' performance is not bad, after all, it is the first triple-double in the Rookie Challenge.
However, compared with Chen Mo's data, there is still efficiency, which is undoubtedly greatly reduced.
At this time, Mark Tatum, the vice president of the NBA, came out and brought the MVP trophy.
A group of players stood in the center of the field. The official reporter first interviewed Mark, and Mark also commented on the players present.
For example, Yao Ming, Stoudemire, and Ginobili from the second-year team, as well as Chen Mo, James, and Anthony from the first-year team, were all highly praised by him.
After talking for a few minutes, the official reporter got down to business and said with great anticipation.
"OK, next let Vice President Mark announce, who is the MVP of this Rookie Challenge?"
Mark Tatum smiled, and his eyes swept over the first-year players.
"The MVP of this Rookie Challenge is..."
Mark Tatum paused on purpose, but there was no expression of expectation on the faces of the crowd.
After all, the data is there, unless the NBA officials are messing around, otherwise, this must be Chen Mo!
When Mark Tatum saw that he couldn't mobilize the emotions of the little guys, he suddenly became dull and said very simply.
"The MVP is...Chen Mo!"
At the scene, there were also first-year players, and there was a burst of warm cheers.
Everyone knows that Chen Mo won the MVP, and he deserves it.
These first-year players have dealt with Chen Mo since the NCAA, and then to the NBA.
They naturally knew Chen Mo very well, and at the same time admired him, even a little envious.
Starting from UCLA, he led the team all the way to the championship.
In the NBA, he led the Heat to triumph and become one of the best teams in the league.
If it was just a random match, it might not be able to prove anything, but along the way, they were really convinced.
"OK, OK..."
Seeing that the fans were already cheering loudly, Mark Tatum knew that the situation was a bit bad, so he said loudly.
"And LeBron James, congratulations to the two who won the Rookie Challenge MVP together."
Sure enough, as the sound sounded, the fans at the scene were a little unhappy, and immediately booed everywhere.
It's rare for Mark Tatum to enjoy the treatment of David Stern, but it's a pity that his face has not yet been practiced, and he looks very uncomfortable.
The fans around were even more verbal and booed, and some even opposed it fiercely.
No way, NBA officials like to do these things.
MVP, translated as the most valuable player, since it is the most valuable, there must be only one.
Moreover, this is also the first time in history that two players have won the Rookie Challenge MVP at the same time, which is naturally very uncomfortable.
Especially from the data point of view, it is obvious that Chen Mo's data is better and more efficient.
In addition, NBA officials have been pushing James before, which naturally makes people think of some shady scenes.
What's more, don't forget that this is Los Angeles, half of Chen Mo's home court.
As long as he graduated from UCLA, he would naturally have a good impression of Chen Mo.
Mark Tatum was a little embarrassed. He had expected boos for a long time, but he didn't expect the boos to be so violent.
But there is no way, this is the NBA official compromise on Nike.
Nike and the NBA have reached a consensus long ago, that is, to push James hard and make James an iconic figure.
It's a pity that Chen Mo's sudden birth made the efforts of Nike and the NBA official a bit embarrassing.
And Chen Mo was selected as an All-Star, but James was not selected, which made Nike very upset.
Nike negotiated with NBA officials to either kick Chen Mo out of the All-Star team or let James be selected.
This is obviously impossible. Even if Chen Mo does not enter the starting lineup, he is very likely to be selected as a substitute.
In this way, not only are their actions ineffective, but they will make fans see it as tricky.
As for letting James enter the All-Star, it is even more impossible.
Already Chen Mo was selected as an All-Star as a rookie, and James was added, it was just messing around.
Moreover, based on James' current stats and the record of the Cavaliers, he is not eligible for the All-Star selection.
Therefore, NBA officials had no choice but to find compensation from other aspects, to compensate Nike, and to compensate James.
And the MVP of the Rookie Challenge is undoubtedly a very big appeasement award.
Don't think that the MVP of the Rookie Challenge is not important. For most players, it is more difficult to win this award.
After all, you can use your entire career to pursue other awards, and there are only two chances to win the Rookie Challenge MVP.
It's a pity that the NBA officials still underestimated the reaction of the fans, which was a bit too intense.
Mark Tatum: If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't be in the limelight.
It wasn't just Mark Tatum who was embarrassed, but also James, who was holding the MVP trophy with Chen Mo.
Chen Mo put his arms around James' shoulders, and patted James' shoulders, signaling him not to take it too seriously.
This made James a little surprised, being shared the MVP, Chen Mo not only didn't care, but comforted him.
Because Chen Mo thought very clearly that this must have been done by NBA officials and Nike, and it had nothing to do with James.
Although James is the ultimate beneficiary, this kind of shameless thing is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.
What's more, maybe we will play brother basketball in the future. Of course, we must maintain a good relationship.
Besides, this is just a Rookie Challenge MVP, which is considered an insignificant award.
It is important to say that it is important, and it is really not important to say that it is not important.
After the award ceremony ended, the scene began to cheer and celebrate, and Chen Mo received a lot of congratulations.
"Mozi, you did a great job. See you at the All-Star Game."
Yao Ming also congratulated Chen Mo. To be honest, Chen Mo clearly saw envy in those small eyes.
"Okay, Dayao, let's go to the All-Star Game!"
This All-Star is actually Yao Ming's best All-Star.
As time went on, one was due to injuries, and the other was because he didn't care about the All-Stars. Yao Ming played perfunctorily.
Because this year's All-Stars did not have a particularly outstanding player, it was Yao Ming who played well.
If he works harder, maybe Yao Ming can also snatch an MVP from O'Neal.
Of course, it's good to think about this kind of thing. If you want to steal the MVP, unless Yao Ming hits explosive data.
Moreover, everyone is willing to help O'Neal get the MVP, but it doesn't mean they are also willing to help Yao Ming get the MVP.
It can be said that today's Yao Ming does not have this qualification, so let everyone help.
Just as Yao Ming left, a figure suddenly jumped up and hugged Chen Mo tightly. It was naturally Anne Hathaway.
