Chapter 0624 - Come On! East Showdown! (3rd Update!) Another 4000 words! Two more to come! )
June 7 afternoon, New York.
At the press conference carefully arranged by the Knicks uniform team, Lin Yi officially took over the Podorov Cup, which symbolizes the player's highest personal honor, from the hands of league president David Stern.
Both the NBA regular season MVP trophy.
Three years ago.
When David Stern presented Lin Yi with the award for the first time, perhaps Stern himself did not expect that he would actually award Lin Yi this honor for three consecutive years.
Perhaps, this is the arrangement of fate?
Stern's career as president began with Bird as a three-time MVP, and now, on the verge of retirement, he has built a three-time MVP player by himself.
At the scene, more than 100 photojournalists filmed this historic scene together, and in order to give the reporters enough time to shoot, the process of handing over the trophy between Stern and Lin Yi lasted a full 108 seconds.
At this moment, people invariably realized that it was time for the NBA to turn the page.
Michael Jordan, the "God of Basketball" who dominated the 90s of the last century, may be unwilling when he sees the news of Lin Yi's triple MVP, but Jordan knows very well that it is better not to cause chaos in the league at this time.
Lin Yi wants to surpass himself?
It's not too late to talk about this when his number of champions comes up.
What about Russell, Chamberlain, Bird?
Jordan knew he was the god of basketball.
"If I stand up and criticize the league at this time, the old man will definitely kill me before I retire." Jordan's emotional intelligence is not high, but he also has a tacit understanding with Stern.
Let's let people talk about it.
The more they talk, the more they think I'm great.
LeBron James can't surpass me, and Lin Yi is no different.
"He's amazing." Under the podium, Da Yao thought to himself with emotion.
It is not easy for Chinese players to survive in the NBA.
But at this moment, Lin Yi is already a three-time NBA regular season MVP winner.
Hundreds of millions of eyes are staring at him, the focus of the world is gathered here, he is the darling of New York, he is the hope of Chinese basketball, he is the big devil in the hearts of all NBA players in this era.
There is still a long way to go.
But all Lin Mi firmly believes that Lin Yi will not stop here.
Climbed a peak.
There is still the next peak.
The current Lin Yi will not claim to be the number one in active duty.
Just wait.
When the New York dynasty is built, I will tell the world with my actions.
I'm going to be the first man in NBA history.
Glory, not showing off.
After Lin Yi began to deliver his acceptance speech, Stern, who stepped aside, looked at Lin Yi's tall back and fell into deep thought.
On the night of the 6th, Stern convinced himself.
When a person makes a decision, he never knows what will happen in the next second of that decision.
Stern has brought the NBA to where it is today through his painstaking operations, and now, perhaps, it's time to say goodbye.
Stern is happy with his career as president.
"I'm glad to be able to deliver such an acceptance speech for three consecutive years."
"If you could...... I hope I can continue next year. On the podium, Lin Yi said with a smile.
Stern, who was immersed in memories on the side, almost fell off the podium without a heel after hearing Lin Yi's words.
What?
Three MVPs in a row are not enough, do you want to have four in a row?
Did you know that in the history of the NBA, no one has ever been able to win four consecutive MVPs?
Do you want to use all your seniors as your backdrop?
Stern was tempted to spew dirty words.
God knows how much effort Stern put in behind the scenes to make Lin Yi three consecutive MVPs.
But just as he was reluctant to interfere too much with the game, Stern always felt that since it should be Lin Yi's, it would be better for him.
But...... This kid actually wants to be a four-time MVP, can you believe it?
Although Lin Yi on the podium quickly said that he was joking.
But...... Stern knew very well that this kid had always liked to use jokes to set up flags.
"Maybe I'm really old?" Stern looked at Lin Yi kindly.
Boy, want a four-time MVP?
If you have the ability, you can play a 40+ triple-double next season and come out to see!
If you can do it, why not make you a four-time MVP!
Stern, who wanted to officially announce his retirement on February 1 next year after this year's playoffs ended, decided that he would postpone his retirement for a few months.
Because he wants to make it to the end of next season.
He wanted to see it a little longer.
Not as a bystander.
Rather, in the capacity of a decision-maker.
It's a pity that Lin Yi didn't know what the little Jewish old man on the side thought.
Otherwise, Lin Yi will definitely try it.
40+ triple-doubles is indeed a near-impossible task.
But if Stern makes his words clear, then Lin Yi will also read it.
On the podium, Lin Yi thanked his parents, the country, his teammates, and everyone......
Accept worship from all directions!
Curry in a suit was as happy as a schoolboy.
Ayesha on the side didn't understand, what does Lin Yi's award have to do with you.
DeRozan also rushed to the award ceremony.
In DeRozan's words, being more heartbroken by Lin Yi will help him improve.
Do you think you can be complacent by typing 20+ data?
Oh, look at Griffin, and then look at Lin Yi!
"I never thought Lin Yi was unattainable." DeRozan said to a friend next to him.
"The better he is, the more I want to surpass him, even if it's impossible, I want to try!" DeRozan clenched his fists.
Three-time MVP, as soon as this precedent of the Stern era was set, God knows how many young players have ignited that blood in their chests!
Anthony Davis, who was on vacation in Cleveland, quietly made a wish in his heart after watching Lin Yi's award ceremony.
The nickname "American Lynch" is good, but one day, he wants people to call himself Anthony Davis!
In Davidson, who lived his last student life, he gave up the idea of going to New York to watch the Knicks play.
Because from now on, it's time for special training.
In the past, James felt that Lin Yi was the prey and he was the hunter.
And now, the hunter and the prey have switched identities, but the little emperor will not be afraid of this.
Because this year is the best year for the Heat.
The 28-year-old James has reached the peak of all indicators, and the MVP is ...... More on that later!
But the champion, can not wait any longer.
"Lin, is there anything you would like to say to the fans?" After Lin Yi's testimonial time ended, the host asked curiously.
"It's too early to say some things now, after all, we're only in the semi-finals now." Lin Yi said with a smile.
Stern on the side finally breathed a sigh of relief, this kid has finally learned to keep a low profile.
"But I think the fans can get ready for cheers and applause."
"Because Chris (Paul) was asking me two days ago if this year's Championship Parade was going to eat hot pot or fried chicken." Lin Yi added.
Stern: "......"
That's enough!
Believe it or not, I'm taking your MVP trophy back!
Stern had just finished praising Lin Yi in his heart, but he didn't expect Lin Yi to start dying immediately.
Even the Championship Parade has come out, do you really think you are champions?
Well, in fact...... Stern is also more bullish on this Knicks.
Never mind!
This kid is this style, if he speaks honestly, the fans will not be used to it.
The Knicks players at the scene cheered cooperatively, and the reporters didn't expect that Lin Yi would openly set up a flag......
Some good deeds are looking forward to Lin Yi not winning the championship, because then he can go crazy.
However, people apparently did not hear clearly.
Lin Yi just conveyed my cannon's heart.
Paul in the audience looked confused...... , although Paul did say this two days ago, Paul never expected that Lin Yi would "betray" himself.
But so what?
As the Knicks' four-in-command, I, Chris Paul, have to do my part.
This year, none of the Knicks players want to leave themselves behind.
Just kidding, 75 wins but not winning the championship, even if you don't set up a FLAG, you have to be sprayed to death.
At this point in the game, does the Knicks have any other pursuits besides championships?
If you can't win the championship, at that time, the first to bear the brunt will be Lin Yi, the MVP.
Three consecutive MVPs, but only one champion...... This is unreasonable.
……
Lin Yisan's MVP news had to dominate the headlines for a short time.
Russell and Bird both congratulated Lin Yi for the first time.
This kind of celebrity, who still has money to earn after retirement, obviously disdains to find a sense of existence through Heilin Yi.
Oscar Robertson was speechless.
Affection: I'm short of money?
It seems like...... I'm really short of money.
Of course, Big O doesn't want to have nothing to do.
Otherwise, it would be uncomfortable to be pierced by Lin Yi.
So Big O decided that it was time to hack a wave of Curry!
After all, who made the Kumi so weak?
And Curry's first round this year isn't convincing.
On May 8, the Eastern Conference semifinals G2 game between the Knicks and the Nets kicked off at Madison Square Garden.
Before this game, Lin Yi showed his three MVP trophies on the spot.
In the stands, Lin Yi's agent Zhong Muchen was very glad that Lin Yi's trophy was kept by himself, otherwise Xiao Zhong Tongshou believed that Lin Yi would definitely not be able to find his trophy......
Tonight in Madison, all the New York fans are like pilgrims.
The light that hit Lin Yi was a holy light in the eyes of Knicks fans.
And when the Holy Light lit up the whole of New York, all the Knicks fans chanted that it was time to ride the "Polar Bear" to gallop on the field!
Well, because the owner of the Nets, Prokhov, is Russian, Knicks fans affectionately refer to the Nets as the "Polar Bears."
The cheers of MVP and MVP exploded the audience.
Ewing, who came to watch the game, couldn't put it down and touched Lin Yi's trophy, so envious...... What if you want to take one?
Ewing at this moment feels like a fart legend!
Because even if Lin Yi retires now, this kid now has three MVP trophies and a championship trophy!
And these ...... It's all Ewing that I've never gotten before.
Oakley on the side handed Ewing a banana, and Ewing's depressed mood was a little better.
Otherwise...... This gorilla really wants to rob Lin Yi!
On the commentary seat, Li Ruoqi curiously asked Wang Meng about the significance of Lin Yi's triple MVP.
"Is it the concept of the triple actor?" It's amazing! Li Ruoqi thought to herself unconsciously.
"No...... It's about the same as three consecutive Oscars for Best Actor. Wang Meng thought about it and said.
Li Ruoqi was stunned.
Three Oscars in a row?
Li Ruoqi's mouth opened slightly, and she couldn't take her eyes off Lin Yi who was warming up on the court.
"It seems...... A few signatures are required. Li Ruoqi thought to herself.
……
Tonight, the Nets' men were desperate.
G1 battle, they lost to fitness.
And the G2 battle ...... No matter how optimistic they are, the Nets don't think they have a chance to beat the Knicks.
Because tonight's Knicks are different.
How terrible is Lin Yi with the power of three consecutive MVPs?
In the stands of Madison Square Garden, Bilson, a young New York fan who changed into the 277th Lin Yi jersey, shouted loudly, "Today is Lin - the ultimate pervert - Yi!" ”
A thousand miles away!
The Knicks defeated the Nets in a devastating manner.
94 to 127!
In the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Knicks led the Nets 2-0!
Next, the series will be moved to the home court of the Nets.
Well...... It's still the home of the Knicks.
Nets and Knicks talk home-court advantage?
Heh, even if they're the first in the league, they won't have home-court advantage against the Knicks.
On the 13th, the Knicks beat the Nets again 119-105.
On the 15th, the Knicks completed the sweep, and after defeating the Nets 141-107, they advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals!
Two Rounds Sweep!
Barkley joked that even the Germans in World War II were not so fast!
This is the third East Final of Lin Yi's career.
Last year, the Knicks fell here.
Last summer, Lin Yi made a promise with Paul.
Come on, stop grinding around.
What are you waiting for, LeBron?
James: TMD, we want to sweep too, but what if the Pacers are very good?
Lin Yi: Oh, that's it, then I'll go play LOL for a while, okay call me!
James:......
And just when the whole country felt the shock that the Knicks brought to everyone.
On the 17th, a second team to advance to the divisional finals also appeared.
The Spurs narrowly beat the Mavericks in three-overtime!
Although, in this series, the difference in each game is within 5 points, it seems that God is also favoring this Spurs......
The Spurs eventually eliminated the Mavericks with a total score of 4-1, and Nowitzki's heroic back after the game cried countless cows in front of the TV.
Kidd didn't want to wait any longer, and after the game, Kidd announced his retirement.
The former No. 1 point guard in the league has no championship for life!
When the Mavericks have to make changes, this year's form has dropped a lot, and Nowitzki will be a year older next season, and this Mavericks seem to be a breath of ......
What does the future hold for the Cosmic Cow?
However, no matter what, Lin Yi believes that people like Nowitzki will not be defeated.
Let's fight again next year, old driver.
Another ten or eight years.
On the 19th, after six games, the Heat can be regarded as ending their series with the Pacers.
LeBron, who advanced to the Eastern Conference finals, did not relax.
Because he knows it well...... When it comes to the Eastern Conference finals, this year's Heat playoffs are just beginning.
The Great War of Nige.
Trilogy!
East Final BO3!
Who is the king of the east?
On the other side, the opponent of the Spurs West Finals has also been released.
After seven games against the Lakers, the Thunder made it through.
Can Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook join forces to take the Holy City?
Soldier against soldier!
Will be right!
The king should be to the king!
