On June 27th, 20 18, the 20 18 NBA awards ceremony has come to an end. Many people waited so long just to witness the moment when james harden won the trophy. As a result, I waited for so long, not even a moment. The Chinese word for "a moment" is 65,438+05 minutes. As a result, it took less than 4 minutes from Xiao Hua's announcement that Harden was elected MVP to Harden's acceptance of the award, while Harden's speech took less than 2 minutes.
If you just look at it alone, no one may be surprised. After all, some of the previous winners spoke longer and some spoke shorter, which seemed reasonable. For example, Lu Wei spoke for less than a minute. However, how to say the regular season MVP is also the finale, and the speech in less than two minutes is estimated to have set a record for the shortest MVP award-winning speech over the years.
Far away, after all, the environment is different. This is the second award ceremony, so we should make a horizontal comparison with the first one. The MVP of the 20 17 season is Westbrook. How long did Shao Wei speak at that time? It's 9 minutes and 30 seconds! He even took out a piece of paper, read it carefully, invited all his teammates to the stage and made a gesture of * * *.
When I got to Harden's place, there were only less than two minutes left, which always gave people a feeling of jumping to conclusions. Even the reporters couldn't stand the interview after the award ceremony. They asked Harden, "Many people think you can win the MVP, but you haven't prepared a speech. You will be finished soon. Why don't you prepare something for your speech? For example, you can write some words on paper in advance? "
Harden's answer is: "Frankly, because I don't know." Last year, I thought I deserved this award, so I don't think this year is any different from last year. If I win, I will go on stage, thank everyone who helped me along the way and pay tribute to them. I know how many opportunities the Rockets have given me in these six or seven years, and I know how important family is to us. As I said, I will remember all the people who helped me. "
Whether Harden really didn't know it or not, he spoke his mind last year, and he felt that he was worthy of MVP. So when Xiao Hua announced that Shao Wei won the prize, Gordon really naturally showed a lonely look. As Harden said, he was not prepared and was not sure that he would win the prize.
However, some fans think that it may still be a bit "tricky". It always feels like CCTV Spring Festival Gala. The stipulated time is coming, and some programs have to be cut or even reduced. Harden's speech just gives people a sense of urgency. Can't help but remind people of Harden's past two missed MVP experiences. After Harden won the MVP, is it necessary to continue to implement the rule of "making the best use of the situation"?
