Chapter 418: Hidden Quest "The Lord of the Rings' Expectations" (8K Kill!) Ask for a monthly pass! )
Scarlett didn't speak for the first time.
It's not that she's unwilling or hesitant, it's that she's a little excited and speechless.
Money is very vulgar, but the romance created by money is not bad at all.
Scarlett thought that Sun Hao might propose at this time, but she didn't expect Sun Hao to buy such a big diamond ring!
Not to mention that Sun Hao is holding an FMVP trophy in his other hand that money can't buy!
"Promise him! Promise him! ”
The fans at the scene were in a hurry.
Even if it can be swapped with Scarlett, some male fans are willing to go to Thailand.
Finally, after putting her hand down and taking a few deep breaths in a row, Scarlett nodded vigorously.
The staff on the side were very experienced, and waited for Scarlett to calm down a little before handing the microphone to her.
"I do."
I do!
Scarlett finally said the answer that fans had been waiting for for a long time.
The cheers from the scene reached a new peak.
Being proposed to marriage under the gaze of more than 20,000 people, and receiving more than 4 million proposal rings and FMVP trophies, Scarlett is the happiest woman in the world at the moment!
Scarlett stretched out her hand, Sun Hao handed her the FMVP trophy, and then put on the big diamond ring on her other hand.
"She is the happiest woman in the world."
In the commentary seat, Barkley, who had already taken off his headphones, spoke very seriously this time.
Don't say it, he's envious!
"Who's to say it isn't?"
When Kenny Smith on the side took the conversation, he couldn't hide the envy between his words.
Sun Hao's level, not to mention players, is an ordinary person, after having so much wealth, he can have any kind of woman he wants, and even want many women.
There are many scandals between Rodman, Chamberlain, including Jordan, Kobe and women.
But whether Sun Hao is in La Liga or after entering the NBA, there are almost no scandals.
Scarlett seems to be all he has feelings.
This kind of person is not absent in the NBA, like the well-known Battier.
But there is only one who can reach Sun Hao's status.
Some people say James and Curry, but Sun Hao's two fans haven't played yet.
It's just that if Sun Hao hears this, he won't fully agree.
Because Scarlett also gave a lot to him!
Scarlett in history has had a lot of boyfriends, but because of his appearance, she didn't even accept the kiss scene.
There's no reason why such a relationship shouldn't go to the end.
After putting on the ring for Scarlett, Sun Hao got up and had a passionate kiss with Scarlett.
Compared to the kiss after the last game, this is the real kiss.
This scene was also firmly captured by the photographer.
The Night of Champions proposal, along with this scattered dog food, is sure to be a topic of conversation among fans after the game.
……
After the championship award ceremony, Sun Hao and the Lakers players went to the bar to celebrate.
Champion Night, no drunk, no home.
But just as they were partying, forums at home and abroad had exploded.
Especially at home, as Stern expected, the fans have gone crazy.
"It's like a dream! AMVP/MVP/FMV! Our Sun Hao won all the MVPs this year! ”
"The greatest athlete in the history of the country is gone, and now we don't have to envy the American Jordan, because we have our own basketball god!"
"It's really not blowing this time, he scored 23 points in a row at the end of the finals to harvest the game, and he can't do it Jordan! This is as exaggerated as Maddie's 35.13 seconds! ”
"I think considering Sun Hao's last ultra-long logo three points, it is more exaggerated than 35 seconds and 13 minutes!"
"The cow is done! When I meet foreigners in the future, they know SUN! ”
"yes, I think Sun's performance has surpassed basketball and is one of the greatest performances in the history of sports."
"The key is that our Sun Hao not only plays well, but also makes his teammates better, look at the performance of O'Neill and Ma Long this year and last year, he is really impeccable!"
"I suspect you're a kohei!"
"Seriously, I didn't dare to think that Chinese could rule the NBA before, but Sun Hao told me that anything is possible!"
"Maybe we can call this the 'spirit of the sun'? As long as you have a dream, you have to work hard, because everything that seems impossible will eventually become possible? ”
"I think so!"
"I'm excited about what you're talking about, give me the ball, I'm going to dominate the community basketball court!"
……
Not only the fans, but also the media people are crazy.
Su Qun wrote an article "The Chinese Era of the NBA" overnight.
He used the previous half-covered and half-exposed writing style, not only to write about Sun Hao's performance in the finals, but also to write about Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian's outstanding performance in the NBA.
"If there is still some luck in the eyes of some paranoid fans of the previous Olympic champions, then the performance of Chinese players in the NBA this year has knocked out their last paranoia, and the NBA is ushering in an unprecedented Chinese era!"
Teacher Su Qun wrote to the end, it was like that beauty lifted her skirt, which made people feel so refreshed after reading it.
Blow, and that's it!
Even as fans said in forums, this influence is not limited to basketball, or even the sports circle.
Many celebrities were asked about Sun Hao's victory, and most celebrities also knew about it.
The most intuitive comparison is that when Liu Xiang won the 110-meter hurdles Olympic championship, the whole world knew about it.
What Sun Hao did was even more exaggerated than that.
Of course, the most direct point is that on the night of this day, the news channel directly broadcast the news of "Lakers Championship, Sun Hao MVP".
Not 5 sets, but 13 sets directly!
At this pace, this is going to be 1 set directly on the next day!
From this, it can be seen how sensational Sun Hao is in China to help the Lakers win the championship.
Sun Hao, who was in the bar, would probably be shocked if he knew this.
When he won the championship in Dallas two years ago, he didn't react that much!
But that's where the Lakers' influence comes in.
Sometimes you have to admit that doing the same thing in different places has different impacts.
Well, there is no shortage of sensation on the American side.
Not to mention the big reports of the mainstream media such as ESPN/TNT/FOX/NBA.
Even on Facebook, which has just been popular among Americans, major celebrities have posted news that the Lakers won the championship and Sun Hao won the FMVP.
You can't ignore Sun Hao's status as a foreign player.
Historically, Nowitzki led the Mavericks to win the championship, and in addition to being a single core, his foreign status cannot be ignored.
If you don't feel enough, think about what it would be like if JR Smith led the Zhejiang team to win the championship in 2011, or Maddie led the Qingdao team to win the championship in 2012.
Needless to say, Sun Hao teamed up with "Big Shark" O'Neal and then won the FMVP, which is more shocking than Nowitzki's single-core championship in history.
……
Of course, Sun Hao, who was partying with bars and teammates, didn't know this.
He was already half drunk, and finally ran outside the box to take a breath.
Los Angeles is the capital of desire.
The escorts who were just called in the box are more beautiful than the other, and they are more sexy and exposed than the other, well, and one is more active than the other.
He almost didn't hold it.
"How did you get out?"
Kupchak also came to the bar, but he spent most of his time outside the box.
It's not a good guy his age to go crazy with the players, he's more here to escort the players.
He didn't want the team to make some trouble in the bar on championship night, and then he might lose his position as general manager.
"It's a little stuffy."
Sun Hao casually made an excuse.
"Your proposal is the most shocking I've ever seen, and no woman can resist that."
Kupchak said with a smile, this is kind of a topic.
Sun Hao nodded.
The reason why he can hold it in the box is also related to this.
He's not a saint either, sexy women dangling in front of him, and he doesn't react at all, it's not a man.
But just after proposing to Scarlett, he played a home run with another woman in a bar, which is not something that people can do.
"By the way, Mitch, I didn't see Adam Mosaic when I was in Staples before, what's wrong with him?"
Chatting casually, Sun Hao also remembered what he was curious about at the award ceremony.
"Mosaic? Didn't you pay attention? ”
Sun Hao shook his head.
"That's right, all your energy is on the game, Mosaic has left the NBA to work in the NFL to become vice president."
"Huh?"
Sun Hao was a little confused in hindsight.
But when he came to his senses, he couldn't help but laugh.
This butterfly effect is big!
Mosaic's personal abilities are actually okay, including his negotiation skills.
The 9-year-old 24 billion sky-high new broadcast in history was talked to him about.
But the disadvantage of Mosaic is that it is extremely short-sighted, and in terms of the big picture, it is two extremes with Stern.
It's no joke that the NBA ruined him.
Now he's scourging the NFL.
It's the best of both worlds!
Well, the cake of the American sports market is so big, if the NFL, the number one sport in the United States, declines, then the NBA will definitely get more share.
"What are you laughing at?"
Kupchak didn't know what Mosaic would do in the future, and he looked at Sun Hao with curiosity.
Sun Hao smiled and waved his hand.
It's really a double blessing.
"Oh yes, do you have any thoughts on the Championship Parade?"
Kupchak changed the subject again.
Sun Hao shook his head.
The parade of champions will be two days away, and the preparations must have been almost ready.
Kupchak asked him if he had any ideas, that is, if he had any special needs.
"Well, I'll go back and ask Shaq."
Sun Hao nodded after listening.
The Lakers' championship parade has always been more traditional, but O'Neal has a lot of ideas, maybe he will give this traditional parade something unconventional.
The day after the Lakers won the championship, major media reports began to pour in.
Fu Paul's phone calls were all blown up, and all the major media wanted to interview Sun Hao.
Including Gu Yi's side, the calls seeking endorsement cooperation in China are also one after another.
After Sun Hao won the Lakers' first championship and won the FMVP, he has become a world-class sports star.
That kind of influence may only be reflected in one set of morning news broadcasts.
Sun Hao, threw all those things to Fu Paul and Gu Yi, and fell asleep after going home.
When I woke up, I looked at Scarlett, who was lying on her side and looking at her with a smile, and I couldn't help but work again.
Take a shower or something, let's talk about it later.
After waiting for a few home runs, Sun Hao was about to rest for a while when his phone rang, and it was Gu Yi calling.
His brows furrowed slightly, he had already told Gu Yi not to call him.
But he didn't get angry after answering the phone.
Because what Gu Yi said on the phone was that Russell hoped that Sun Hao would be able to visit him at the hotel.
Russell played all his life with the Celtics and made his home in Boston.
Every year when the finals come to the match point game, he will be invited to the game by the league in order to give the FMVP at the end.
That's already an allied tradition.
This time too, Russell went to Los Angeles to help with the awards, and he should have theoretically gone back today.
The reason why he continued to stay should be to wait for Sun Hao.
Championships and FMVPs come every year, but he deliberately kept them this year.
In fact, it can be seen from what he said to Sun Hao when he presented the award that "The Lord of the Rings" looked at Sun Hao differently.
Sun Hao asked Gu Yi to tell him Russell's mobile phone number, and then he called to make an appointment, explained to Scarlett for a while, and then drove to the hotel.
At this point, he could take Russell to his manor for lunch.
When he arrived at the hotel, Russell was already in good order and waiting for him.
The older generation of stars, even at this age, are still very concerned about their appearance.
And at this time, Russell's health was not bad enough to need to use a wheelchair, he trembled with crutches, and Sun Hao helped him into his car.
Along the way, Russell chatted with him about trivial topics.
Sun Hao could feel that Russell should be looking for a better opportunity to talk to him again.
But it was these trivial topics that let Sun Hao know some things that he didn't know before.
For example, Russell is not actually called Bill, his full name is William Felton Russell, and none of them are Bill's sidekicks.
It's a bit like Spanolys.
Span Nollis was mistakenly called the European Kobe because of "kill.bill".
And Russell's reason for being called Bill is even more absurd.
He was called "Block" by his teammates for the convenience of the block, and over time, his teammates called him smooth, and his name became Bill Russell.
And Russell's student days were also interesting, similar to Iverson being a top football player before he entered the NBA, Duncan was a swimmer before basketball, Nowitzki was a tennis player before basketball, and Russell was a high jumper before he entered the NBA.
And he wasn't your average high jumper, as he jumped out of what was then ranked seventh in the world in his senior year.
Even in 1956, Russell threatened not to allow himself to participate in the Olympics as a basketball player because of the rules that ruled that professional athletes could not participate in the Olympics, so he participated as a high jumper.
All of this shows his talent in the sport of high jump.
If he keeps going in that direction, he will definitely become an Olympian, and even have a chance to win gold.
As for why it didn't go in the direction of high jump in the end.
"Because of the money."
Russell couldn't help but laugh when he finished speaking.
Very real answer.
And Russell was quite proud when it came to money.
In his time, the NBA was a very small league.
At that time, most of the players who played in the NBA had their second career.
The more well-known ones such as George McCann, who has to work part-time as a lawyer in addition to playing, and another NBA 50 big Dave Bean also works in a bank.
However, Russell was a special case, and at that time the league did not have a rookie contract, and the contract was all up to the negotiation between the player and the team.
Russell received an annual salary of 24,000 as soon as he entered the league!
Don't look at the annual salary back then, which was the second highest salary in the league at the time after Bob Cousy's $25,000!
"You know what? Wilt signed a $100,000-year-year contract with Los Angeles, the largest contract in NBA history, and the next day I signed a $100,000 contract with Boston. ”
Russell laughed out loud as he said this.
Remembering these things, his face was full of glory.
Sun Hao realized that Russell may have something to say to him, but he should also be lonely.
In fact, people are like this, and when they get older, there will be fewer and fewer people who can speak.
No matter how prominent and famous you once were, who would want to stay with an old man all the time?
Sun Hao listened quietly, even if Russell didn't say anything else to him, these stories made him feel very meaningful.
After all, a lot of history, if they don't tell it, maybe he will never know.
In the midst of such chats, the car entered Beverly Manor.
Russell got up at this time and looked out the car window, and when he was about to arrive, Sun Hao heard something that surprised him.
This sentence also gave him a new understanding of Russell.
"These white pigs are getting more and more enjoyable."
It sounded a little unscrupulous, and it was hard to imagine that it was coming from Russell's mouth.
The atmosphere was slightly awkward.
"I'm just saying these white people, they have no respect for others at all, they just enjoy it."
Russell realized something, and said in a softened tone.
Sun Hao nodded and didn't say anything.
From these two sentences, he knew that Russell should be hostile to white people.
But it's normal, the darkness of the last century is not something Sun Hao can empathize with.
In the beginning, black people were not allowed to play basketball.
There is a well-known sports movie in history called "The Road to Glory", which tells the story of Dan Haskins, the "godfather of black basketball", and the first black basketball team.
The car soon arrived at the manor, Russell was helped out of the car by Sun Hao, and Scarlett also greeted them at the door.
Russell was a little flattered and enthusiastic about Scarlett.
I could feel that what he said before was complaining about the whole environment, not the individual.
For a very hearty lunch, Sun Hao's family invited a Chinese chef, and Russell also ate some Chinese food.
Originally, his appetite was already relatively average at his age, but he still ate a lot of Chinese food.
Judging from his unfinished expression after the meal, he was very happy to eat this meal.
After eating, Russell and Sun Hao sat in the courtyard in the afternoon to cool off.
It was at this time that Russell said what he wanted to say to Sun Hao.
"I appreciate your performance in the finals, and I can even say that you are the best performance since that kid Michael."
Well, I guess only Russell can call Jordan "that kid".
"But to be honest, basketball at this time was very different from my basketball back then, we were at that time, everyone was only doing their own thing, like I was only responsible for defense, blocks, rebounding, and if I attacked with the ball, the coach and my teammates would think I was crazy."
What Russell is actually talking about the evolution of the NBA, the development of basketball, especially after entering the era of small ball, the concept of position has been very vague.
"So far, I don't think it's the best model because any model has the limitations of the times, but that model has a big benefit, it makes every player feel like they are essential.
And because of that feeling, everybody's going to do their best, because whoever doesn't do well will cause the team to lose, he's the team's sinner, and who wants to be a sinner? ”
Sun Hao listened thoughtfully.
Many celebrities, including Jordan, use a didactic approach when talking to others.
Because in their eyes, what they have succeeded in is the right thing, and if you do what they say, you will succeed too.
But Russell's words were more of a sharing.
Because, as he said, any model has the limitations of the times.
If you let the 73-win Warriors of the small-ball era go to Jordan's era and play with the rules of Jordan's era, you will be directly beaten out of.
Similarly, the 72-win Bulls will also be beaten by a fat beating in the small-ball era.
One generation of versions of one god, and the same is true of the NBA.
So what Russell shared wasn't his success, it was just his experience.
Or to be precise, it should be a team concept.
"You know with Michael's kid ability, I don't think it's a problem for him to score 50 or 60 points every night, but he's only going to score 30 or 40 points because he knows it's not just a one-night thing, it's a long season and he needs his teammates."
Russell's next words were similar to what Sun Hao thought.
And he cites himself and Jordan as examples to have a potential side note: the team concept is necessary to complete more championships, or dynasties.
"I understand, thank you, William."
Sun Hao benefited a lot.
His scoring role has become heavier and heavier this year with the Lakers, and it is foreseeable that it will be even heavier next season.
That's good for him personally, but not necessarily for the Lakers.
Russell's sharing of experience is a bit like the kind of training that Jordan's former college mentor Dean Smith cultivated Jordan.
"Ding, congratulations on the quality for triggering the hidden quest 'The Lord of the Rings'."
Description: Bill Russell sees you as the greatest player of his time and expects you to be like Jordan.
Requirements: Complete two consecutive championships.
Mission Reward: Silver "Ten Cents" badge.
Oh no!
Sun Hao didn't expect that an exchange with Russell would trigger a hidden mission.
This is really a surprise everywhere in life!
The "Ten Cents" badge is not too familiar to him as a 2K player.
It's a badge that increases pass success rate and boosts teammates' hit percentage!
And directly silver!
And this badge came at a very good time!
After O'Neal publicly announced that he was the Lakers' boss, his percentage of ball dominance in the playoffs has been increasing.
It is foreseeable that this proportion will only increase in the coming seasons.
That's probably why Russell shared this experience with him.
As the mission describes, Russell wants him to be like Jordan, and to do that, you have to have a team concept at all times.
Of course, having a concept and being able to do it are two different things.
This reward is towards this goal!
Of course, with two consecutive championships, this hidden mission is also very difficult.
But again, there is a challenge when there is difficulty.
Winning his first title was just the beginning, and he will definitely try to get more, but now that he has an extra reward, he has more motivation to defend his title.
After seeing Sun Hao's reaction, Russell knew that Sun Hao had listened, and he smiled with relief.
"By the way, I heard that Shaq and you are neighbors?"
Russell suddenly asked again.
"I don't know if this guy is awake now."
Sun Hao nodded.
"I want to visit him."
Russell continued.
Sun Hao is a little curious, Russell is very active this year.
However, it may also be like the system says, Russell expects him to be a player like Jordan, and naturally hopes that O'Neal will get better.
After all, O'Neill is 34 years old, and he will be 35 years old, and his contribution on the court will only become less and less in the coming season.
Will Russell also try to persuade O'Neill to lose weight?
Sun Hao thought of this next.
If that's the case, it's perfect.
Russell's status in his heart is completely different from that in O'Neill's heart.
In other words, if Russell had persuaded O'Neal to lose weight, O'Neal might have tried it.
"I'll give you a call and ask."
Sun Hao was a little excited when he thought about it, and took the initiative to get up to call, but Russell didn't say anything.
The call came, and O'Neill was already up and feeding his baby Bengal tiger.
But when Sun Hao told him that Russell was at his house, O'Neill immediately waited for him excitedly.
After a while, O'Neill took the initiative to come to Sun Hao's house.
"Mr. Russell."
O'Neal walked over quickly to shake hands when he came in, and was much more respectful to Russell.
In addition to Russell being a legendary center, there is another thing that Sun Hao does not know.
Just like Russell's extreme attitude in the car, he is disgusted with the environment while also trying to defend the status of black players in the NBA.
In addition to The Lord of the Rings, he also had a nickname: Martin Luther King Jr. of the NBA.
So Russell's status among black players is very high.
"I'll go out for a while."
Sun Hao felt that he might have to avoid it.
"Sun, you stay."
However, Russell unexpectedly signaled Sun Hao to stay.
Sun Hao nodded, in fact, he was also quite curious about what Russell would say, Russell opened his mouth, and it was not appropriate for him to leave, right?
Sun Hao was full of anticipation, but what Russell and O'Neill said was what he imagined...... The difference is a bit big.
"Shaq, do you hate Kobe?"
The first thing Russell said when he asked O'Neal was about Kobe.
"Of course, that kid is completely selfish to the extreme, and he never cares about himself and not the team."
O'Neal still looked unhappy when he talked about Kobe, and he could see that this championship was not enough for him to vent the resentment he had against Kobe.
This is also understandable, if Kobe Bryant was willing to change, OK would not only be three consecutive championships.
Russell smiled and didn't speak.
"Haven't you ever hated someone in your career?"
O'Neill didn't know why Russell was asking the question, but Russell's reaction upset him.
Because he knew that Russell, like him, had an "enemy" that lasted throughout his career.
"Never."
But Russell's reaction was unexpected.
"Wilt Chamberlain?"
O'Neill named that Russell's "enemy."
"You think Wilt and I are enemies?"
Russell said with a smile.
"Why not? I've heard people say that I've seen the footage, and you never talk on the field. ”
O'Neill said directly.
The Lakers and Celtics are bitter enemies, especially in the last century.
And Russell and Chamberlain are two of the most representative figures.
The eight words that the enemy is very red when they meet are the truest portrayal of their expressions when they compete.
"You misunderstood, Shaq, Wilt and I talked on the phone a few times a week, until two weeks before he died, and I was sad that he left."
When he said this, Russell's expression was a little sad and a little hesitant.
It can be seen that what he said is completely from the heart.
Not only O'Neill, Sun Hao was also very surprised.
He hadn't learned the stories of the stars of the last century, and if it weren't for Russell himself, he wouldn't have imagined that the two legendary rivals would have such a good relationship in private.
Or maybe it's the so-called friend and foe, sympathizing with each other?
"Shaq, you have to know that things on the court are always just on the court, life is very long, and the day you retire, you will find that the person closest to you, except for Sun, the rest of the person may be Kobe Bryant, because you have played together for 8 years."
Well, Russell is still very good at talking, and Sun Hao was present and he also talked about Sun Hao.
In fact, Sun Hao and O'Neal have only been playing for a year, and the closest person to O'Neal is Kobe.
It was also here that Sun Hao fully knew why Russell was looking for O'Neal.
He's trying to ease the current relationship between OK.
O'Neal and Bryant were on the same page last season, and they were ruthless in public.
At this time, no one else will want to persuade them, because this kind of thing is obviously thankless.
Including Sun Hao, he didn't think he could ease the relationship between OK at this stage.
Russell was the first to do that.
O'Neill, silent for a long time.
To be honest, the same words came out of Sun Hao's mouth, and O'Neill estimated that it would be over.
But Russell's reaction, as Russell said, already shows that he's thinking about it.
"I'll try."
After a long time, O'Neill spoke earnestly.
Russell smiled with relief.
Sun Hao felt that he was really a god.
It was the first time he had seen O'Neill take advice on his toes!
So, O'Neal's weight loss mission will depend on Russell in the future?
