The Godfather of Basketball

After the best rookie, other results will be drawn one after another.

Lou Williams won the Sixth Man of the Year award for the Clippers with his magical performance averaging 21.9 points per game.

The most improved award was won by Devin Booker from the Pacers. Booker's magical performance of 25.1 points per game last season was amazing, and it also made their mutual win deal with the Nets a good story.

Defensive Player of the Year went to Jimmy Butler, who managed to beat two big men in Anthony Davis and Rudy Gobert.

Butler himself has the strength of an All-Star, but because of Irving and George, he is willing to be a role player, and his defense against Booker and Curry in the playoffs is impressive, let alone his regular season. With 2.3 steals, there is no objection to his selection.

The two won the award. Compared with last year, the Nets have gained a lot this year.

However, their harvest is far more than the immediate point.

In the following selection of the best head coach, Tang Tian defeated D'Antoni and Casey and was elected the best head coach of the season.

And Jones defeated the big Heat Morey and was elected the best general manager of the season.

The Nets signed Irving and George last season and successfully won the championship. These two awards are well deserved.

Tang Tian went to the stage to accept the award, and whistles burst from the audience.

Although the two awards were awarded to two people, everyone knew that Tang Tiancai was the one who did the most work.

Moreover, Tang Tian's election also created a new history. After all, his other identity is the team owner.

"I first have to praise Mike and Dwyane, they are the best head coaches in this league, I think they both deserve this award..."

Tang Tian's previous award speech was very formal, but in the end, he still couldn't help but get a little nervous.

"...In fact, I think Casey is more deserving of this award. After all, the Nets will have a better record next year, and I may still get a unanimous vote at that time."

Tang Tian's humor immediately caused a burst of laughter from the audience.

To be honest, regardless of ability, Tang Tian himself is a very likable person.

The final MVP award was won by Harden, and his performance with the Rockets this season is obvious to all.

After Hugging with Rockets teammates, Morey and others, Harden finally came over to say hello to Tang Tian. To him, Tang Tian's meaning to him was irreplaceable by others.

The awards ceremony ended, announcing the end of the 2017-2018 season. The teams also adjusted their energy and focused on the upcoming free agent market.

But before that, the league held its first regular board meeting of the new season.

This is actually an ordinary regular meeting. The bosses and Xiao Hua get together to discuss some details of the rules of the new season, and see what needs to be reformed, and go through a process.

But Tang Tian didn't think so.

Although the team successfully won the championship last season, and the Nets also gained a lot in the previous awards ceremony, none of these can erase the controversial penalties during the finals, especially the sixth game, which really pissed him off up.

Although the matter is over, he doesn't intend to just let it go.

"Obvious misjudgments and omissions will seriously affect the mood of the fans watching the game. I request to investigate the referees in the sixth game of the finals. I want to know what their original intention is for such judgments, and whether there is a phenomenon of gambling." Tang Tian said very direct.

The bosses at the meeting all turned their heads to look at Xiao Hua one after another, and Cuban silently gave Tang Tian a thumbs up.

In fact, fairness is also what the owners of the teams want. A few penalties are likely to change the operation of a season, so in this regard, they and Tang Tian are on the same side.

"We will consider this matter later." Xiao Hua paused and said.

"No, I want to take advantage of this meeting to finalize this matter. I think other team owners are also very willing to see the results of this investigation. If there is still a gambling scene and there is no investigation, it will have a long-term impact on the league. It's a big injury."

Tang Tian made the matter very big, and the other bosses nodded one after another. It was a pain to find out that there was a problem, but if he didn't investigate and indulge, it would only make things worse, and it would be a painful pain.

Xiao Hua didn't speak. He has been working hard to promote the legalization of gambling. If there is a real problem, the negative impact will be great.

But Tang Tian's attitude was so tough, and in front of so many bosses, he was really stuck under Huolu Mountain.

"The alliance will investigate this matter." In the end, Xiao Hua still chose to compromise. Tang Tian now has a huge influence in the alliance, and it would not be of any benefit to annoy him to do extreme things.

After receiving Xiao Hua's affirmative answer, Tang Tian's mood finally improved.

Xiao Huaken agreed, explaining that this matter should have nothing to do with him, and the referees probably really have a problem.

But no matter who it is, as long as he finds out, he can really let it out.

After the regular meeting ended, the league quickly launched a comprehensive investigation into the referee in Game 6 of the Finals.

The league has experience in this area, and the results of the survey are coming soon.

Of the 3 referees in that game, 2 referees bought spinach through relatives and friends, and they all bought the Warriors championship, and they bought a lot.

After the Warriors lead 2-0, the odds are low but very stable. They originally wanted to bet big and make a little money, but the subsequent game exceeded their expectations, and they were about to lose all their principal. Speech, just do it.

Their thinking was that with Xiao Hua behind them anyway, the alliance would not think about gambling, but they didn't expect that Tang Tian's reluctance would still expose them.

The results of this investigation came out, and the alliance was in an uproar.

Unexpectedly, it is already 2018, and there are still referees involved in gambling, and they are still on duty. The league's review in this area still needs to be greatly improved.

The league made a penalty soon after the investigation, banned the referee for life, and issued a huge fine, and will also prosecute them criminally.

This kind of punishment is aimed at maintaining the image of the league, and there is nothing wrong with it.

But the side effect is that many people can't think of it.

League President Xiao Hua has encountered unprecedented doubts.

Xiao Hua's remarks before the sixth game of the finals were picked up, and they were hailed as an adjuvant for this incident.

And various referee problems after Xiao Hua was elected are not uncommon. The fans can no longer do anything to those two referees, but they all chose to turn their anger to Xiao Hua.

Coupled with the fact that Silver has been working hard to legalize gambling since last season, this is even more fuel to the fire.

Compared with the conference room being put on the boss's grill, this time he was really put on everyone's grill.

The alliance encountered an unprecedented storm, and Xiao Hua became the target of public criticism.
