Chapter 227 [Winning the Championship, Telling the Truth]

On the 11th, Guo Xu made headlines in major sports media, and online fans were also discussing him, and a superstar was rising.

Everyone didn't spray Iverson, it was not easy for him to lead the team to the finals, and his victory ** also touched many people. It's not that he's weak, it's that the opponent is too rebellious.

On the 12th, the fourth battle between the two sides began.

Under the coach's arrangement, Guo Xu and Kobe Bryant both reduced their shots to create opportunities for O'Neal to pass.

The opening situation was one-sided, whether it was a low post to receive the ball and attack, or to cover and cut in the air, O'Neal always had a way to put the ball in the basket, and he was unstoppable.

Other fans may not be able to understand the deep despair of Philadelphia fans when the "big shark" blocked Uncle Mu again and again.

It's not that Uncle Mu can't do it, but the opponent is too strong, and Grant once cut the ball and wanted to dunk and humiliate Uncle Mu, but he was immediately overturned by the hat and taught him to be a man.

Guo Xu has no opinion on playing all over the court, the team has not yet won his turn to win FMVP, if it wasn't for Abdul-Jabbar's injury, "Magic" Johnson would not have won the MVP in his rookie season, and that success had a huge chance.

It is not enough for players to have strength, if they want to stand at the top of the NBA, they also need opportunities and status, and this Lakers is O'Neal's team, not Guo Xu's.

In the end, the Lakers beat the 76ers 113-96 and swept all the series of the playoffs to win the championship, playing only 15 games in total.

O'Neal played 42 minutes, shooting 16-of-25 from the field and 8-of-16 from the free-throw line to finish with 40 points, 14 rebounds and four assists.

Bryant finished with 22 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists on 6-of-13 shooting, 0-of-2 three-pointers and 10-of-12 free throws.

Guo Xu was also 6-of-13, 3-of-7 three-pointers, 2-of-2 free throws, and scored 17 points, 3 rebounds, 12 assists and 2 steals.

On the 76ers' side, Iverson played 45 minutes, shooting 14-of-32, 3-of-11 three-pointers, 6-of-8 free throws, scoring 37 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals, and hitting 20 irons.

After the finale, Guo Xu and Iverson shook hands, and the two didn't say anything.

They have met 6 times, never communicated with each other, and have never talked trash on the field, so they are relatively silent.

Maybe they can both feel that the other person is not the same kind of person.

Guo Xu is always smiling, like an orchid raised in a greenhouse, enjoying the most suitable sunlight and bathing in the most abundant rain and dew, with a fresh and clean temperament.

Iverson was born in the slums of the United States, and since he was a child, he seems to be born with a ruffian, a gangster atmosphere, and when he loses, he will have a trace of Xu Wenqiang's temperament in Shanghai, which makes people feel melancholy and distressed.

It's the kind of "Actually, I want to go to France to find Cheng Cheng", and then as soon as I go out, I am strafed by a machine gun, and you can't get what you want.

Guo Xu looked at Iverson's departing back, and music seemed to sound in his ears.

The sea of bitterness turns up love and hate; In the world, it is difficult to escape fate......

Guo Xu's emotion was only for a moment, and he quickly forgot about Iverson and celebrated with his teammates. He didn't go back to the dressing room, he stayed on the pitch and waited for the award ceremony.

As soon as the statistics of the finals came out, there was an uproar on the Internet, Guo Xu's hit rate was too high, and it was even more terrifying than Iverson.

Guo Xu shot 41-of-62 from the field in four games, averaging 15.5 shots per game, shooting 66.1%, shooting 22-of-40 from three-point range, shooting 55%, and shooting 7-of-7 from the free-throw line, shooting 100%, with 27.7 points, 2.3 rebounds, 8 assists and 1.7 steals.

Iverson averaged 31.3 shots on 37.6 percent shooting on 47-of-125 shooting in four games, 10-of-35 three-pointers (28.5 percent) and 23-of-32 free throws (71.8 percent) for 31.7 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.5 steals.

Iverson made twice as many shots as Guo Xu, only scored 6 more goals, scored 4 more points, and scored 4.7 fewer assists.

Guo Xu will not be complacent, in fact, this is normal. In his previous life, without him, Iverson only had a 40% shooting rate in five games, and only two games had a shooting rate of more than 40%. To put it bluntly, he just defended a few more balls than Tyrone Lue, Fisher and others.

Blonde female reporter Audrey Jones interviewed Guo Xu on the sidelines, and the two are old acquaintances. Relying on interviewing Guo Xu and analyzing the Lakers, Audrey is about to become a basketball expert.

Audrey asked: "Some fans say that you are at the peak of your debut, you have won a lot of individual honors in your rookie season, and you have a championship ring, what do you think?" ”

"Peak? How is this possible? I'm just on my way! Which fan said that? Don't let me see you, dare to curse me, I'll beat you. Guo Xu raised his fist at the camera, smiled and pouted.

Audrey smiled and asked, "Can you tell us how you feel about winning the championship?" ”

"Do you want to hear a lie or the truth?" Guo Xu asked rhetorically.

"Everything." Audrey covered her mouth and smiled.

"I'm so excited, I'm so happy, I feel like this life is worth it, I'm so excited that I want to cry." Guo Xu covered his face with one hand in front of the camera, sobbed twice, and then changed his calm expression: "This is fake." ”

It's a waste for you not to be an actor. Audrey couldn't laugh or cry. "Really?"

"It's a bit easy to win, I haven't enjoyed it yet, the season is over, I want to work with my team-mates on the pitch again until next season, and when I think about it, the next few months are going to be boring. I've got to plan my vacation, that's what I really think. Guo Xu said with a smile.

The mentality of a player who won a championship in his rookie season is completely different from the mentality of veterans who have fought hard in the league for N seasons and gone through a lot of hard work to win the championship.

Only if it is not easy to come by, will it be cherished, so some veterans will cry after winning the championship. Rookie players will only be happy when they win the championship, and it is impossible for him to feel too much when he has two superstars as teammates as soon as he enters the league, crushing his opponent to win the championship.

That's why Kobe Bryant swelled after three consecutive championships in his previous life, and began to compete with O'Neal for the boss, wanting to prove that he could win the championship without O'Neal, and the dynasty was established too easily, and people were empty-eyed.

Audrey asked a sensitive topic. "There was news that you didn't buy a house in Los Angeles, but rented an apartment. Would you consider buying a home in Los Angeles this summer? ”

Guo Xu shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't consider this for the time being, I don't like to live in a big house, because I am usually lazy and hate cleaning." I usually go out to play during the holidays, and I often play away, depending on the situation, maybe I will never buy a house in my life. ”

After a while, Guo Xu and his teammates all put on championship hats and championship T-shirts to participate in the award ceremony together.

The 76 players are long gone, and it's painful to watch their opponents win the championship on their home turf.

FMVP was still awarded to O'Neal, although Guo Xu has a high shooting rate, O'Neal's two important statistics of scoring and rebounding rank the highest in the two teams, and the shooting rate is similar to Guo Xu, not to mention that he is still the best defensive player Mutombo.

It is worth mentioning that although Uncle Mu was very unhappy when he was abused, he also played well, averaging 16.8 points, 12.2 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game, and had a 60% shooting rate, which was one point more than Guo Xu's 2009 Magic core Howard Finals score. His zombie hook looks stiff, but he does score goals.

O'Neill gave a short acceptance speech, standing in the center and lifting the championship trophy.

The players, coaching staff and others took a group photo together, and the NBA2000-2001 season officially ended.
