Chapter 430: A Huge Reward

For his MVP speech, Lin Han hopes that the bigger the better, because he is not sure when he will win this award next time, in Lin Han's opinion, since everyone said that Lin Han's regular season performance this season can be called epic, then Lin Han naturally hopes that his speech is also an epic speech, so Lin Han almost invited someone who can be invited to make yesterday's grand MVP speech extremely grand, and in the end, The result of this speech can also be satisfied with Lin Han, although Lin Han doesn't know what those American fans in front of the TV think, but in terms of the atmosphere of the scene, it is really quite good, so Lin Han is also quite satisfied, and this speech can really be regarded as a successful end to Lin Han's regular season this season.

It's just obvious that although Lin Han himself thinks that yesterday's MVP speech was a success, but Lin Han doesn't know how successful it is, so when the next day, May 9, the day of the second round of the playoffs between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Spurs, when most of the media in the United States were on the front page of the headlines of Lin Han's MVP speech yesterday, it still shocked the whole United States.

There is no doubt that Lin Han is one of the most popular players in the entire NBA, and almost any thing such a player can cause a huge sensation, such a thing as an MVP speech is of course one of them, so Lin Han caused a sensation in the entire American public opinion circle after the speech, in fact, this is a very normal thing, the key is how huge such a sensation is. Now, this situation is too large.

I have to say. Lin Han's storytelling in the way he got the MVP yesterday was a very correct thing, and with Lin Han's vision and IQ, of course he would not have thought of such an idea. In the NBA, where complaining is the mainstream, Lin Han's extremely chic speech method can indeed resonate with many people, after all, there are too many clichés to thank the country and thank the leaders, although everyone will still give applause, but they will be a little bored, so after Lin Han is a guy who does not play according to the routine, these media are indeed quite excited, but this considerable excitement makes everyone stunned.

Originally, Lin Han has been the focus of the entire NBA and the United States in recent times. Well, now, after this grand speech, I am afraid that the focus of the entire United States and the NBA will be on Lin Han for a long time in the future.

On May 9, 1995, the second round of the league began, and today, there are two NBA division semifinals across the league, one is the Lakers, who are second in the West, and the Spurs, who are third in the West, and the Bulls, who are first in the East, are against the Hornets, who are fourth in the East.

Of course, because of the huge gap between the Bulls and the Hornets. Therefore, most fans this year have almost all their eyes on this game between the Lakers and the Spurs, coupled with Lin Han's extremely terrifying popularity now, the attention of this game can be imagined.

For NBA players or teams. There are good and bad sides to this kind of attention, and the good side is naturally the glory of the winner, winning in such a competition that is watched by the whole United States or the whole world. That glory is absolutely unparalleled, and the same. This kind of attention is a huge pressure and burden for any team in the league, in this case. In the face of such attention, most NBA teams often choose to give up the so-called attention and prepare for the game silently by their own teams.

For example, the Lakers and Spurs at this time, when the whole United States was hyped outside, as the two parties involved, the two teams hid in the turtle shell like turtles at this time, especially the Spurs.

The first two games of the playoffs between this team and the Lakers are away games, and the first round of this team ended early, which makes this team come to Los Angeles early, if the first playoff game between the Los Angeles Lakers and Spurs is on May 9, then this team came to Los Angeles on May 6, and it is clear that the Spurs are going to be the best prepared for the playoffs.

If this Spurs team has stayed in San Antonio, then reporters in the United States or around the world may not have any opinion on the closed management of this team, but as an away team, after coming to Los Angeles so many days in advance, it went into hiding, and the whole United States and the world are quite speechless about this behavior of the Spurs.

Of course, at this time, the Spurs are doing closed training in order to prevent outside interference, and the team prohibits private communication with the outside world, but this does not mean that this team does not pay enough attention to the outside world, at least they are quite clear about Lin Han and the Lakers' recent sweep of the NBA's major awards.

Especially yesterday Lin Han's MVP speech, almost all the Spurs players watched the live broadcast in the hotel, for these Spurs players, they really don't have much interest in Lin Han, but David Robinson, the big man who can't stand the team, is the third player in the MVP, if it weren't for Lin Han's reason, this year's NBA MVP is likely to be their boss.

"Boss, don't care too much about that kid, just let him be arrogant these days, as long as we beat the Lakers in this series, then all his current glory will become his shame!"

"Yes, boss, look away, the regular season MVP is just like that, it's not enough compared to the championship, our goal this year is the championship, not the dispensable regular season MVP, and, as long as we win the championship this year, we will be able to grab the regular season MVP for you next year, even if it's to that guy first!"

Although after the end of this year's regular season, David Robinson and the Spurs have long known that their boss has no role in this year's regular season MVP, but after all, this year is definitely the closest David Robinson is to MVP. After watching Lin Han's acceptance speech, it would be really strange if David Robinson didn't have a little idea in his heart.

So. As David Robinson's teammate, the Spurs were also quite helpless at this time. After all, this kind of thing completely needs to look at David Robinson himself, not what they can comfort when they say comfort, if David Robinson himself can't see it, no matter how much they say, it's useless.

Fortunately, at this time, although David Robinson's face and appearance were quite unsightly, he was quite calm and did not fluctuate too much, which also reassured the other players of the Spurs team.

For these Spurs players, this year's playoffs are really important, not to mention that David Robinson is one of the top three centers in the league before or now. But when it comes to the results of the playoffs, David Robinson is actually quite bad, compared with the other two centers, David Robinson is the only one of the three centers who has never reached the finals in the playoffs, let alone the finals or the championship, even the Western Conference finals, David Robinson has not entered once, as the three major centers, his career has been eight years. But the best result is only the division semifinals, and they haven't even touched the floor of the division finals, which is really embarrassing for David Robinson and the Spurs, who were really weak in previous seasons. David Robinson, the team's big man, consumed too much in the regular season and softened in the playoffs, which is also something that the Spurs have been quite criticized for.

And this season. The Spurs have completed the team comprehensively, and David Robinson has no longer exhausted himself in the regular season, and in the end he can only watch others play in the playoffs. So, this season, the Spurs are really quite hopeful that they can strive for the best results.

Even if this season is because of the Rockets. It's still going to be a bit difficult for them to get to the Finals, but at least they should have no problem making it to the Western Conference Finals, right?

In the eyes of the Spurs players, being able to play against the Lakers in the semifinals is an absolutely acceptable and expected match, after all, the gap between the strength of the two sides is a bit large, although in the regular season, Lin Han scored more than 90 points, but as many experts said, Lin Han's more than 90 points is just a miracle, Lin Han cannot continue to do this, and the playoffs are different from the regular season, the regular season is just one game, and the playoffs are a series, even if Lin Han can really surpass one game or two, That would also be hard to get the final victory of the series!

So, this time against the Lakers in the Western Conference semifinals, it was really a very good opportunity, a good opportunity for David Robinson, and a very good opportunity for the Spurs!

"Don't worry, I know what to do, this time, I will definitely not let that kid have a good time!"

After feeling the worry of his teammates, David Robinson also took a deep breath and said, and looking at David Robinson like this, the other Spurs players were also a little relieved.

Before such a big battle, and before a big battle that must be won by sneak attack, David Robinson definitely can't have a problem, I have to say that Lin Han's special arrangement of his MVP award ceremony will actually make David Robinson a little unbalanced.

This is also related to the fact that David Robinson does have quite an idea for this year's MVP, after all, the Spurs' leading player has been pursuing this honor from the beginning of the season, which is really completely different from Jordan.

However, fortunately, David Robinson is also a very good leader, and even the other Spurs players understand the truth, of course, he understands, but he can't turn a corner slightly, so under the attention of his teammates, David Robinson quickly returned to a normal state of mind.

And to see the team return to normal again, as the head coach of the team, Bob Hill is also quite happy, since the team's general manager ** Vic intervenes in the team's actions more and more frequently, Bob Hill's life in the Spurs is not so good, this season is a season for Bob Hill to prove himself, the Spurs have a very big chance to complete the breakthrough this season, and as long as the Spurs break through, then Bob Hill feels that he has a very good chance to win everyone's trust, Thoroughly established in this team.

"We're going to make it out of the Western Conference semifinals this year!"

So, in the end, the head coach of the Spurs also thought secretly in his heart after sweeping David Robinson's body.

The Los Angeles Lakers and Spurs are a very high-profile matchup as players from both teams. They can hide and hide, but as the head coach of both teams. There's really no way they're going to be able to hide then, before this game starts. Whether it's Spurs head coach Bob Hill or Lakers head coach Magic Johnson, these two are actually quite restrained.

After all, the Los Angeles Lakers are lagging behind in terms of support, and the Magic is really high-profile, as for the head coach of the Spurs, Bob Hill, although the Spurs seem to have an advantage in the situation mountain, but the advantage of the situation does not mean that the game will definitely be won, you must know that in the regular season, the Lakers played a very classic game, that is, the first meeting between the two sides of the Magic. The advantage is so big, it almost presses the Lakers to play, but isn't the final result still a loss?

While Bob Hill doesn't think his team is the Magic, it's better to be careful.

"The Los Angeles Lakers are a very characteristic team, they showed a very strong offense in the first round, maybe in the current NBA, there is no team in the league that can compare to the Lakers, but. This is the playoffs, and in the playoffs, the score of a person or the score of a team is not necessarily the most important thing, and the victory of a game and a series needs to be considered more factors, and defense wins the championship? No. I'm not a big fan of winning championships on defense or winning championships on offense, because in my opinion, it's a really super team. Whether it is offensive or defensive, it needs to be strong enough, any team with shortcomings. Unless they face a team with the same shortcomings, they won't be able to make it to the top of the NBA. Unless some teams' defense can reach the level of the Pistons that year, or the offense can reach the level of the Lakers back then, and whether it is the Lakers or other teams, as far as the current league is concerned, no team has been able to reach the height of the Pistons and Lakers of that year, so for this round of the series, although it will be quite difficult, we are still confident that the Spurs are a more mature team than the Lakers, and of course, the Lakers are also a very great team."

At the pre-game press conference of this game, as the head coach of the Spurs, Bob Hill really did not hesitate to praise himself, and looked as if he really admired the Lakers.

"Lin Han? Lin Han is an extremely great player, he is always able to show himself at any level of the game, this season his table is very good, he just won the MVP of the regular season, which is a very important award, because it represents the highest level of the league, and Lin Han is one of the highest level players in the league, however, fortunately, the Spurs also have a lot of very good players, such as David Robinson, in my opinion, David is also an MVP level player, he is the same as Lin Han, They're all the best players in the league, and Lynham will be the focus of our defense in this series, and of course we'll hope he doesn't play as crazy as he did in the regular season, but again, we're definitely not afraid of any player, because as I said, this is the playoffs, and it's impossible for any player to win on their own, and I believe the Spurs will be a better team."

At the pre-game press conference, although Bob Hill, the head coach of the Spurs, seems to have a lot of respect for the Lakers, it is clear that the head coach of the Spurs is still full of confidence in his team, and this is for sure, when the head coach of any team faces such a situation, of course, he will stand on his team's side, whether it is Bob Hill or Magic, both of them are quite clear that this game or this round of the series is not just about what the two say, It's up to the two teams to do it!

The Spurs players are preparing quite actively at this time, the team came to Los Angeles for many days in advance, and has already moved back a lot of the disadvantages of the away game, and this team has quite a lot of ideas about the Lakers' two home courts.

On the Lakers' side, although in recent times, Lin Han and the team have been sweeping the major awards of the NBA, which is a little bad for the attention of this team, even if the best players are, it is quite dangerous to face such a situation, not to mention that most of the Lakers players are actually some young players.

However, what reassures Magic Johnson a little is that there are many young players in the team, but the core players of the team are mostly veterans in addition to Lin Han. And Lin Han is now a veteran.

Compare, Lin Han after winning the MVP of the regular season. But another Grand Slam player in the league!

Championship, regular season MVP. Finals MVP, All-Star MVP, One Defense, and Best Defensive Player, Lin Han has become one of the rare Grand Slam players in NBA history after winning the regular season MVP this year, no matter how young such a player is, he can't really look at it from the perspective of a young player, and in fact, at this time, there are really not many people in the United States who will really think that Lin Han is a young player.

And as the head coach of the Lakers. Magic Johnson is also quite relieved of Lin Han.

And in the Lakers' training hall at this time, Lin Han at this time also looked quite good, as if he was not affected by yesterday's MVP speech, which even surprised Paul Pierce, a kid who has been paying close attention to Lin Han.

"Hey, boy, don't be in a daze, the defense is out of position again!"

Just when Pierce had been paying attention to Lin Han and was once again relieved by Eddie Jones in the team's confrontation practice, Lin Han also shouted to Pierce with some amusement on the side.

Now the NBA playoffs have entered the second round. And in the United States, these high school players who participate in the draft have basically begun to prepare to go to various teams for tryouts, especially for players like Pierce whose picks are undecided. Tryouts are a must, otherwise there are simply not many teams willing to pay a huge price for such a player's comeback, even if it was Lin Han at the beginning. The Jazz team has also seen Lin Han's training.

It's just that it's definitely not easy to get an NBA team tryout or an official league tryout. Last season, Lin Han also took great pains to be able to squeeze into the league's official training camp, and Paul Pearce. Although this young player participated in this year's All-Star Game, but for now, this guy has not received an invitation from the Chicago training camp, since Lin Han's spending money to enter the Chicago training camp last year was exposed, the invitation to this year's Chicago training camp is managed extremely strictly, originally speaking, every time the Chicago training camp opens, more than 40 talented players will be invited to try, but this year, in order to be able to control the quota, it seems that the Chicago training camp will only invite thirty people, If there were forty or fifty people invited to the Chicago training camp, Pierce would have a chance to join them, but if there were only thirty spots left, it would be really dangerous for a player of Pierce's level.

If you really can't even get into the Chicago training camp in the end, and you are finally forced to go to the NBA team's tryout with some NBA players who are not drafted or whose contracts have expired, then it will be quite passive, because Pierce will not know which team is missing which player, and will only fly around like a fly without a goal.

Therefore, this is also the reason why so many young talented players value the Chicago training camp, because this training camp is officially organized by the NBA, and each team will send a large number of scouts to investigate, so that the players can be inspected by more teams, and it is also convenient for the team to choose the players they are more desperate for.

Of course, because he didn't receive an invitation to Chicago training camp, and he didn't know which team to try out, Pierce was quite at a loss at this time, so in the end, this Lin Han's younger brother also came directly to the Lakers and joined the Lakers' training to maintain his status, I have to say that at this time, Pierce was really envious and jealous of Garnett, who was also standing on the side at this time, this guy is now very chic, after all, the top five or even the top three have been determined, Now Garnett is almost like the end of the college entrance examination in the Celestial Empire, and he is a student who already knows that he has been admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University in advance.

"Kobe, will we have as hard work as Paul when we participate in the draft in the future?"

At this time, Paul Pierce was quite hard, just like the Lakers who were preparing for the playoffs, and O'Neal Jr., who was visiting the scene, looked at the Pearce on the court who was constantly being ravaged by the Lakers' stars in order to maintain his condition, and felt a little chill down his spine for a while, and Garnett, who was also looking at the calm and relaxed next to him, was a little envious.

O'Neal Jr. is now known as Garnett No. 2 in American high school basketball, but he knows he's nowhere near Garnett. At least after this year's All-Star break, not many people would think that his future would be brighter than Garnett's. While his future isn't much better than Pierce's, it's not much better. If he's really ready to get into the NBA, I'm afraid he'll have to go through the same qiē that Pierce is going through right now.

It's just obvious that O'Neal Jr. is quite unconfident in himself at this time, but this does not mean that Kobe Bryant next to him will also have no confidence in himself.

"It's so early, I will definitely succeed in the future!"

After O'Neal Jr. finished asking, Kobe, who was still staring at the No. 24 player on the training ground at this time, also gritted his teeth at this time.

And seeing his friend like this, O'Neal Jr. also shook his head helplessly, since yesterday, Kobe has been like this. From the beginning of training this morning to noon now, Kobe Bryant has been staring at Lin Han for a long time, although O'Neal is not a very intelligent person, but he also knows very well what Kobe is thinking at this time, he wants to become another Lin Han, this is a very big ambition, just like many young players back then set their sights on Jordan and hoped that they could become the second Jordan.

O'Neal Jr. really doesn't know if Kobe Bryant can really become the second Lin Han, but there is one thing he knows, and that is in the history of the NBA. There really isn't anyone who can be Jordan's second!

At yesterday's MVP speech ceremony, Lin Han invited some of his younger brothers who have a good relationship to Los Angeles, and these guys are not leaving now, because most of these guys are now on vacation. Even if there are no holidays, such as O'Neal Jr. and Kobe, these two guys are not interested in learning. As long as they go back to school in a month to take the exam, the two of them don't seem to think about getting a good grade and relying on a good university with their own grades. For O'Neal Jr., the guy had already decided to go to the draft in high school. According to him, he still has some attention to support himself, and he will go to the NBA to get a contract first, so this young insider doesn't care about his high school grades at all, and he can't use it anyway, as for Kobe, although his grades are not so good, but if he wants to reach the lowest passing line in his grades, he can still choose, and he can choose whether to go to the NCAA or the NBA at that time, so he doesn't attach so much importance to his final year of high school results.

As for Iverson, his situation is similar to Kobe, or even more relaxed than Kobe, because he is already a student in college, and even if his grades are a mess, it will not affect his draft.

Therefore, these little guys are really ready to follow the Lakers throughout the playoffs this season, and they want to adapt to the atmosphere and rhythm of the NBA playoffs in advance, after all, it is quite rare to have such an opportunity.

At this time in the playoffs, no team in the entire league will be as open to these young people as the Lakers, of course, since the team is open to these young guys, then these little guys can't just stand there and watch the fun, Pierce and Iverson are all joined in the Lakers' training, and Kobe Bryant and Garnett and O'Neal Jr. are similar, and a few little guys are really taking turns.

Originally, the thickness of the Lakers' roster was not enough, especially when imitating other league teams, it was really a bit more than enough, for example, the Lakers wanted to imitate the Spurs or the Rockets, that is, there was absolutely no player who could be qualified to imitate David Robinson and Olajuwon, but with Garnett joining, the situation was much better.

Of course, at this time, with these young guys joining, the Lakers will be more prepared for the Spurs.

But just like the prediction of this series before the game, no matter what, the Lakers are indeed at an absolute disadvantage when facing the Spurs, because Princeton's tactical system that is the first to be powerful is likely to be useless in the face of the Spurs, then the Lakers are likely to return to the team's normal style of play, that is, Lin Han's cancer style of play, and this style of play may not be much in the regular season, but in the playoffs, there are really some problems.

And Lin Han himself knows very well that if he wants to defeat the Spurs with his tumor play, then he must improve his absolute strength, at least, he can't lose to Jordan in absolute ability, you know, even Jordan, he can't pass the Pistons with a tumor play, although the current Spurs can't compare to the Pistons back then, but the current Lin Han can't compare to Jordan!

Therefore, after the training on the morning of May 9th, after having lunch with his group of younger brothers, Lin Han went directly into his lounge, and then directly entered the system space.

After receiving the MVP trophy from Magic yesterday, Lin Han also received his first gold-level milestone reward this season.

And now, Lin Han is also holding a large number of milestone rewards in his hands!

Permanent All-Star Rookie Game MVP, Silver Milestone Rewards

Back-to-back All-Star Game MVP, Silver Milestone Rewards

Champion of the Three-Point Shot and Slam Dunk Contest with two bronze milestone rewards

Scoring Champion, a Silver-level milestone reward

Rebounding King, a milestone reward at the bronze level

There is also a continuous Player of the Month, a Bronze milestone reward

In total, Lin Han now has a total of 6 Bronze Milestone Rewards, 5 Silver Milestone Rewards, and of course, the most important Gold Milestone Reward!

"These things are enough to improve my strength again!"

Looking at these items, Lin Han's heart was extremely hot at this time! (To be continued......)
