Chapter 401: FMVP! (1st Update)
After the championship trophy was awarded, 11 media representatives on the sidelines were doing the final selection of the FMVP.
The reporter took advantage of this time to interview Holt, Popovich and others.
"I'm excited, this team is a great legend, I can't describe them in more beautiful words, but they're the best, San Antonio, three times in a row, why not?"
Holt is full of pride, and as a small city team, the Spurs have really accomplished things that other city teams of the same level dare not think of.
Moreover, they have been very successful in keeping salaries below the luxury tax.
Tonight they are legends.
"I think all the applause should go to Pete and the management, and it should belong to the fans, but it also belongs to the old guys and the young guys behind me, who didn't give up when they were down 3-2."
Popovich's words were sensational this time, causing whistles from the fans behind him.
"I also kept my position as head coach."
But the skin still needs the skin, and the last sentence he added also instantly caused a burst of laughter.
The reporter interviewed Duncan.
"How do you feel when you lift the championship trophy at the age of 37?" The reporter asked Duncan.
With Duncan's usual personality, he will basically answer things like "not bad" and "great", which is actually a formality for reporters.
"I guess 38 is not bad."
However, Duncan's words stunned the reporters and made the fans behind him blow up directly.
The implication of this sentence is that we will win the championship again next year!
It turns out that Duncan can also be so sassy!
Sullen!
Stupid!
Tang Tian was also amused by Duncan's words.
None of the Spurs are normal.
But this is completely reasonable, no matter how simple a person is, in this environment of daily turmoil, will also be affected!
"Don, you've been very, very, very good this year, and you're very likely to win the FMVP, is there anything you want to say?"
This female reporter estimated that she had a good impression of Tang Tian, and after last year, she was canvassing for Tang Tiande's FMVP today, and she used 3 very.
"I'm very happy, but the FMVP is not important, the important thing is that we finally completed the streak, the important thing is that we did not disappoint the fans who supported us, and the important thing is that the coach does not have to resign."
Tang Tian took Popovich's joke in front of him, and immediately amused the fans behind him.
The atmosphere in this team is really good.
The interview is about the same here, and the FMVP voting is about the same over there.
This year, the Spurs are most likely to get the FMVP of two people, one is Parker, and the other is Tang Tian.
Duncan averaged 10.5 points, 11.2 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game in these seven games, setting a new high in the Finals in recent years.
Ginobili's stats have shrunk dramatically, averaging 11.5 points and 3.6 assists per game, a new low in recent years.
Leonard averaged 12.6 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.7 steals per game while shooting 49% from the field.
Compared with them, Parker and Tang Tian's data are obviously more eye-catching.
Parker, averaging 20.6 points, 3.2 rebounds, 7 assists and 1.1 steals per game.
Tang Tian averaged 18.2 points, 2.1 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.2 steals and 1.9 blocks per game, and his three-point shooting rate was as high as 62%.
These two people, who won the FMVP, deserved it.
After a while, the staff took the envelope containing the final result into Stern's hands.
Stern knew that there was suspense in this year's FMVP, and his actions were unhurried, which hung the appetite of the fans at the scene.
The teammates behind him were all looking more at Parker at this time.
Somewhat similar to the All-Star, the MVP of the Finals will generally be given to the player with the highest statistics on the team.
If Parker gets the FMVP, it will be the second time in his career, the last time was in 2007.
"The winner of the Bill Russell Trophy in the 2012~2013 season was ......"
Stern's habitual pause made the fans behind him want to scold his mother.
"Tang Tian!"
As he read his name, there was a burst of cheers and whistles from the fans behind him.
Tang Tian, became an FMVP!
A somewhat surprising result.
However, the Spurs players behind him still gave Tang Tian cheers for the first time.
Duncan even directly hugged Tang Tian and touched his head.
Tang Tian's outbreak in the first game, the stable output in the third game, the locker room mobilization and the lore ball in the sixth game, and the blocking in the seventh game.
Parker is the Spurs' most consistent and best stats, but Tang Tian is the Spurs' best key shot.
Parker deserves this honor, and so does Tang Tian.
Tang Tian came out of Duncan's arms and went up to hug Parker as soon as possible.
"It's our shared honor."
He opened his mouth as he hugged him.
Parker nodded, then patted Tang Tian on the back.
After hugging Parker, he turned around and hugged Popovich, and Tang Tian then turned to Stern.
Russell had already stood up with the support of Dio and Duncan at this time, took the trophy handed over by the staff, and handed it to Tang Tian.
Tang Tian bowed slightly and took the trophy.
"You're so young, you're going to have a great future."
After Russell handed over the trophy, he also gave Tang Tian a hug and a word of encouragement.
"Thank you."
Tang Tian opened his mouth to thank him.
It's nice to be blessed by the Lord of the Rings.
After the hug, he walked over to Parker and held the FMVP trophy aloft with Parker.
This scene was instantly frozen by reporters and became a signature scene in this year's NBA.
When the cheers fell, the reporter handed him the microphone and asked him to deliver his acceptance speech.
"Actually, I didn't think I'd get this (FMVP), I think Tony was the best player in the Finals."
After Tang Tian finished his first sentence, the fans behind him were cheers and whistles.
Although he won the FMVP, he is really humble from hugging Parker before, lifting trophies with Parker, and now mentioning Parker in the first sentence.
However, Tang Tian's words are not completely humble, even if his current 3D playing style is extreme, it is still easy to be targeted.
35 points in the first game, 26 points in the second, and less than 20 points per game in the end, that's proof and something he has to strengthen this offseason.
"Thank you to all the fans who support the Spurs and me, including the United States, China, the world, all of you, all of me."
In the following speech, Tang Tian still put the fans first.
"Thank you Mr. Holt, thank you to the management, to the coaches, to Mike [Budenholzer], to the coaching staff, to my teammates, to my individual team, to my family in China, to my friends, to everyone, to each and every one of you for supporting me."
"Finally, I have one extra person to thank, my girlfriend Elizabeth."
Most of Tang Tian's previous thanks still felt average when they heard them, but this last sentence exploded directly.
Tang Tian and Olsen were just scandals before, but this time, it was announced directly to the world!
