Chapter 298: MVP

By the time the players are done going crazy. www.biquge.infoPhil Jackson has become a chicken in the soup, and his originally crisp suit now looks more like a soft canvas.

"All right, boys, you're going crazy enough. Phil Jackson laughed out loud instead of being angry, who would be angry at a prank like this?

"Now it's time for us to change into our champions' outfits, remember, there are tens of thousands of our supporters out there waiting for their heroes to come out, all of them show their spirits and let them see what it means to be invincible!"

Lamar is not very enthusiastic about the cheers and adoration of the fans, and what he wants to see most now is what kind of expression David Stern will have when he presents the O'Brien Trophy to himself.

In fact, David Stern is very happy now, very happy, originally he thought that he would be unhappy when he saw the Lakers win the final victory! After all, since Jordan retired, he really didn't want that team to dominate the league, there was only one championship, and the Lakers would lose suspense if they were too strong.

But when it was time to award the O'Brien Cup to the champion, when he saw the report of the Finals ratings handed over by his assistant, he realized that there were actually many benefits to letting a big city like the Lakers win the championship.

"The Los Angeles Lakers have had a successful season and deserved to win the championship, and hopefully they will be able to repay their fans for their support in the coming year. I mean, you've done a great job, boys! Congratulations on your victory!"

Stern spoke brightly from the podium in the middle of the field, the simplest and shortest message he had ever received, knowing that tonight's time was not his, but to the young men behind him.

Lakers players and fans didn't take his clichΓ© seriously, they should celebrate, they should cheer, they should cheer, and the voice was so loud that it was impossible to hear what Stern was saying.

Finally, the most exciting moment came, and Shaq took the trophy from Stern's hand and lifted it above his head.

"Now cheer to everyone! Now the NBA is ours! No one can beat our great Lakers, we are the best team. Glory belongs to the Lakers, glory belongs to each and every one of you!"

After David Stern presented the championship trophy, it was the turn of former Boston Celtics legend Bill Russell, who held the Finals MVP trophy, which symbolizes the highest honor of professional basketball players.

The Lord of the Rings is still in good spirits, although the years have left traces on his face, but everyone can see that his heart is still young, if there is a team willing to give him a veteran contract at this time, maybe the Lord of the Rings who is not willing to be lonely will immediately take off his designer suit and devote himself to the fierce arena to prove his authority again.

Lamar looked at this old man who had left a legend in the NBA, and his heart was also full of reverence, although he once said in an interview that he would cross him, but his heart was still very respectful.

Russell stepped forward with the trophy and hugged every Lakers player, and when he walked up to Lamar, he laughed and gave him a big hug.

"Lamar, I've seen you play a lot! You're the most talented young man I've ever met, and hopefully one day you'll pass me and become the new Lord of the Rings." ”

Russell's encouragement may seem to other young players to be very proud, after all, being recognized by the Lord of the Rings at least means that his strength has been accepted by the NBA.

It's just that Lamar is a complete freak, even in the face of a big man in the alliance like Russell, he doesn't have the slightest sense of respecting the old and loving the young, being modest and cautious.

"Of course! I'll try to outdo you!"

Russell was stunned, even though he had heard that Lamar was so arrogant that he didn't even know what God was. But I still didn't expect him to be so unabashed in front of him.

He just smiled and didn't say anything after Lamar's words. He knew he was already taking up too much time. This flowery trick should be ended as soon as possible and time should be given to the real owner.

As Russell took out the envelope in his jacket pocket, Lamar suddenly felt a little nervous, he thought he would look indifferent to any honor.

Of course, Lamar won't know why, the reason why he is so nervous is entirely because his competitor this time is his best friend, brother, and big brother - Shaq O'Neal!

Maybe he thinks that if he can beat Shaq to win the Finals MVP, he can find a reason for himself to stay with the Lakers, that is, he has surpassed Kobe Bryant and deserves something of his own.

Only today he was destined to be disappointed, and when Russell said "Shaq O'Neal" from his mouth, the fans in the stadium burst into earth-shattering cheers to celebrate the coronation of their greatest warrior.

Looking at Shaq, who was surrounded by countless people in the center, standing on the podium and receiving the Finals MVP trophy symbolizing the highest honor of the player from NBA legend, Bill Russell, Lamar suddenly felt that his heart was not jealous, but full of lightness.

Originally, when I heard Bill Russell say that the finals MVP trophy belonged to Shaq, that sense of loss was of course gone. Instead, there was a heartfelt relief after seeing the good brother successfully crowned.

Lamar stood beside Shaq, clapping excitedly, everyone could see that the elated expression on his face was definitely not deliberately pretended! He was really happy for Shaq, but Kobe, who was standing on the other side of Shak, showed a deep envy and unwillingness in his eyes!

In fact, if you really want to compare the performance of Shaq and Lamar in the entire 7 finals, Lamar may be more deserving of that trophy than Shaq. In seven games, he averaged 23.8 points, 12.4 rebounds, 7.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.3 blocks per game, and he could definitely dominate the Finals no matter what year he put it. It's just that his gorgeous statistics are still overshadowed in the face of Shaq's strong performance.

36.7 points, 3.3 assists, 16.9 rebounds and 3.7 blocks.

This is the answer sheet that Shaq handed in in the five finals he participated in, and it is precisely because of this that people feel that Shaq deserves to win this finals.

Today is the second time that Shaq has shed tears, and after 1 year of waiting, the effort has finally come to fruition today. How can the agitated heart not be calmed?

"What I want to say is, thank you, really thank you to all of you, my coaches, my teammates, and of course, you, every Lakers fan who loves basketball, you're the heroes of this city. ”

Shaq choked and wiped a handful of tears, then used all his strength. The trophy was raised in one hand, roaring loudly, and after a long time, he gradually calmed down.

"I would like to thank one person in particular, he is my best friend, my brother, my family. Lamar Odom, I think it would be hard for me to say this to you without him! Of course, with all the other teammates fighting together, we didn't give up every game, and in the end we defeated all the enemies and left the O'Brien Cup with the Lakers, so let's celebrate the victory!"

As Shaq spoke, the scene fell into a frenzy again, and tens of thousands of people jumped and jumped at the same time, shouting loudly to vent their excitement.

Lamar was the first to leave the pitch after celebrating with the others for a while, and no one noticed him leaving.

At this moment, almost everyone's attention is on Shaq, who is the protagonist of today.

As soon as he took a few steps, Lamar was surrounded by sharp-eyed reporters, and more than a dozen microphones reached out to him at the same time.

"Lamar, you won the championship, can you share your feelings with the fans who like you at the moment? ”

Probably because of the victory, Lamar showed a rare cooperation: "Of course! I should still be a little excited now! I can't tell, this feeling is so peculiar, I didn't feel like this after winning the championship last year, maybe I will have to win the championship again in the future to answer you." I thought I would be so happy that I would yell at them and get carried away in celebrating. ”

Lamar said and gestured to Anderson and Chauncey, who were celebrating not far away, and the two men took off their clothes and waved them in their hands because of their excitement.

"Compared to last year, the road to the finals this year is hard, but now that I have actually won it, I feel very calm. I promised the Lakers fans last season that we would win another championship, and a lot of people thought we couldn't defend it, but this year we did, and I feel like I can finally breathe a sigh of relief, so I don't feel very excited!"

At this time, a reporter who was obviously from Philadelphia threw out a very uninteresting question: "You can win the game in the end, may I ask if Mutembo's absence from this game is a very important reason?"

As soon as these words came out, people felt that the atmosphere was a little different.

Lamar also frowned: "I don't think that's going to be a big reason, even if he's on the court today, we're going to win! ”

Seeing that Lamar's tone had changed, the reporter quickly changed the subject: "Before this season, you said that you would win the championship, and now that you have achieved it, I want to ask, can Lakers fans still expect such a great moment next season?" (To be continued.) )
