0986: [Janis must be done]
"I don't even know what to say? It's not the first time I've won this trophy. I thought I was going to be excited, but... Not really. ”
Lord Duke accepted the MVP trophy and delivered this unique acceptance speech.
"I don't even know where to put it, I'm not in the habit of collecting trophies. As you know, I won so many trophies and trophies when I was a student, and for me, it was like taking the final exam and being the first in the whole school...... This is not surprising. ”
The Duke didn't even have a formal thank-you team, thank the fans, thank the family, and he ended his speech.
But this... It still made the fans in the stadium restless and excited. They gave full flair to their joy and excitement as they won their 17th championship and the only time they have ever swept to the top. They have every reason to believe that the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth trophies will come soon. After all, the Duke is still so young, he is not even married.
After the grand ceremony, the Duke had planned to leave as soon as possible.
However, his colleagues in the Lakers' public relations department finally got through the ideological work and let him go to the post-game press conference.
After all, as the biggest protagonist of the finals, he has been the MVP winner of the finals for three consecutive years. If he hadn't attended the post-match press conference, not only those reporters, but even the newly appointed Adam Shaw would have collapsed.
When the Duke came to the post-match press conference with the two trophies in his hands, the reporters at the scene could not help but applaud and let out cheers similar to those of a fan meeting.
Faced with the greatest Finals performance in NBA history, they couldn't stand still.
At this time, it is to be touted, to sing praises, because on this earth, you can no longer find a greater basketball star than Duke Snoopy.
However, the Duke seemed very calm.
When asked by reporters what he thinks of the series, he even stretched: "To be honest, I didn't feel like it was such a great thing, I just did my job. And then I'm going to win a very fulfilling and long vacation. This summer, I don't plan to do commercial promotions all over the world, I don't plan to do tours, and I don't have any plans to appear in movies. ”
"I'm rich enough. My annual income is enough to cover my loans, and my assets are still skyrocketing. I have to stop and enjoy life. ”
The Duke's tone sounded like that of an accomplished old entrepreneur.
But in reality, he was only 24 years old.
That's what makes people depressed.
Snoopy has obviously achieved achievements in various aspects that are difficult for ordinary people to achieve, but he is still only 24 years old. And his book wealth can already rush to the global Forbes list, as he said, no matter how you look at it, he can enjoy life.
The ESPN reporter tried hard to bring the conversation back to basketball from retirement, and he wanted Lord Duke to comment on his opponent.
"I have to stress that they are very strong opponents. The game was not as disparity as the big score suggested. In the first three games, they were actually very anxious, and if they were a little careless, they were the ones who led 3-0. But we took our chances and our penalty area did play a key role. If it weren't for Whiteside, Milicic, Carlos Boozer and Jordan Hill. We might even be able to play the game until the seventh game to decide the winner! ”
The Duke expounded his point very seriously.
This made ESPN reporters subconsciously extend the topic to the recent Miami scandal. So, what do you think of the recent news between the Miami Heat and Dwight Howard? If Dwight Howard ends up in Miami, what impact do you think they will have on the Los Angeles Lakers next season? ”
"If the Miami Heat were to hold Dwight Howard, they would definitely be a big boost. Dwight can make up for the Heat's final shortcomings, at least in the East, and it's hard to see any team threaten them. ”
The Duke said calmly. He didn't feel threatened at all.
This prompted the reporter to ask: "So, do you think the Heat will pose a threat to you next season?" ”
"Nope! Because we will continue to improve, and the stronger the opponent, the stronger we will only become! Duge said seriously.
"So, Los Angeles is going to sign a superstar in the offseason as well?"
"No, we're a budget club. Our goal is to drop salaries by another $5 million next season. With Ron Artest's $8 million contract expiring, we're going to have a pretty easy time with that. After all, we won't be paying more than four million in the new season. ”
The Duke said very seriously.
His serious words caused the reporters at the scene to look at each other: Are the Lakers a budget-conscious club? The goal for the new season is to reduce the salary space by five million? What's the trouble? The rest of the league is in an arms race, are you going against the tide?
Forehead... As a matter of fact.
Mr. Kupchak has recently started to work on the transaction. He plans to trade point guard Steve Blake, who is a good and affordable point guard, but now the Lakers don't need Steve Blake's $4 million salary space.
So, they're going to trade it for some draft picks and cash.
Also, Jordan Hill has played pretty well this season. In the playoffs, he averaged 8.8 points and 7.2 rebounds per game, and he is a rare inside talent. If it is taken out to exchange for draft picks, it will definitely be crowded outside, and it will definitely be sprinkled with water to make a lottery show.
If Carlos Boozer's contract can be cashed out, then the Lakers are really awesome.
However, Boozer was, after all, the Duke's man. Now he is also averaging 15.5 points and 6.5 rebounds per game, and it is impossible to say that he is a complete garbage contract. But the value for money is definitely the lowest for the Lakers. The value of the deal is quite bad, unless you catch up with Whiteside, maybe someone else will take over. But what a cheap contract Whiteside is, where are the Lakers willing to let go, and now they are already thinking about renewing their contract with Whiteside in advance.
Kupchak is now in the shape of a Grande boss anyway.
It's best to not spend money, and it's better to make some money.
Anyway... The Duke is standing here, and the championship trophy is here. Those veterans who want to mix up the honor, hurry up and call to make an appointment!
Later in the press conference, the Duke finally talked about personal matters.
"I spend the whole summer with my important ones."
This sentence sparked all the media gossip: So, is the important person Daphne?
"Guess?"
Snoopy left this suspense that was not a suspense and left the scene in style. I even forgot to win the Finals MVP trophy.
This also shows once again that the Duke doesn't care about this thing at all.
He's already taken it twice, so what's new?
……
About fifty minutes later, Miami's Dwyanwade finally walked into the house, his lips pursed and his expression frustrated, summing up why they had failed. And they will continue to move forward and work hard for the championship trophy.
This is undoubtedly the most difficult press conference for the Flash.
They ended the 12-13 season with a score of 0-4 and continued to play as the opposite character of the Duke's divine majesty.
Fortunately, the current journalists are gentle enough, they do not rub salt on the wounds, and they do not fall into the well.
After all, it takes a lot of courage for The Flash to appear here.
It's like... LeBron James will never have the courage to step up and take on this responsibility.
It's a far cry from his first Eastern Conference title lifted in Miami ten days ago.
……
The Duke didn't care at all who Miami sent to announce that the season had ended in failure, and he left the arena and went straight to Daphne, and the two went home together, and then began to live as a husband and wife.
Daphne has an unimaginable hobby for this, which makes Duge even have a headache: she is worthy of being struck by lightning.
And, the thing he didn't know the most was that... Why Daphne wanted to be a mother so much.
Doesn't she enjoy the two-person world at all? Do you have to create a child to upset the balance between the two of them?
However, Dugg slandered and supported him in action.
He didn't have much confidence in this, and when he used to be with other duke girls, he occasionally slipped through the net, but none of them bore fruit. He believes the time has not yet come.
And while the Duke and Daphne were planning which tropical island to fly to swim on this summer, the media had already begun to hype the Duke of Snoopy for an unprecedented degree.
Their praise is so great that it even surpasses that of Michael Jordan back then.
This is the first fire after Adam Xiaohua took office, and he wants to create gods!
He knows... David Stern relied on Michael Jordan's rise to prominence and brought the NBA to the most profitable business league in the United States. So now... It's time for the second peak.
He's going to use Duke Snoopy's immense influence to take the NBA to the next level.
And his second fire is...... Support the huddle!
When he learned that Dwight Howard and the Miami Heat were secretly going back and forth, he showed a very different reaction than David Stern.
David Stern would never allow huddles to happen, especially at the pinnacle. This can be seen from the fact that he vetoed Paul's trade in the name of basketball back then.
However, Adam Shaw is different, he does not care about the balance of power of the alliance. In his opinion, a few super teams are enough to continue to expand the influence of the NBA... This is very much in line with the rule of 28.
So... As long as they are in love with each other, he absolutely supports the pinnacle huddle.
……
The Duke returned to Los Angeles after a half-moon trip to Europe with Daphne.
By this time, Miami's relationship with Dwight Howard was almost fully established, which made the Florida media quite excited, sweeping away the haze that had been swept before. It seems that with Howard signing the 4-year, $89 million maximum salary contract that has been exposed, it will be the championship soon.
Their joy was exactly the same as the summer of 2010.
Of course, this has also attracted a lot of criticism from experts. No one likes this kind of strong team at the top of the group.
Morey, the general manager of the Rockets, who lost Howard in the competition, even said sourly: "When a team gathers three TOP5 superstars and one TOP10 superplayer, this team will definitely become a disaster for the whole league!" I've never seen the NBA's No. 1 small forward on the same team as the NBA's No. 1 center. ”
Such a sour argument is always ridiculed by the Miami media as not being able to afford to lose.
However, it must be admitted that the overwhelming majority of public opinion is against this kind of superstar pinnacle huddle.
Therefore, more and more people hope that the Duke will be able to kill them again.
Of course, everyone also thinks that the Lakers will not strengthen their roster in the offseason. The results will certainly not be optimistic, after all, the Big Three and the Big Four are very different concepts. On top of that, the Lakers' senior tour group is another year older, and next summer, they won't be able to play like this summer again.
Upon his return to Los Angeles, Kupchak reported his report card to Dugg as soon as possible.
"Sean Marion passed our test and he is willing to accept a veteran base salary. There are also some veterans, but we're still on the fence. ”
"Antoine Jamison has decided to retire, and he's got the championship ring he's always wanted. This just made room for Stephen Jackson. ”
"In addition, there is a defender in his prime who wants to sign us with a one-year salary. He's Nick Young, do you think we can give this contract? ”
"Also, we've reached an agreement with the Bucks that we're going to trade Jordan Hill and Steve Blake for their expiring contracts, some cash, and their draft picks... If they can pick up the Giannis we want in the draft! ”
Kupchak's debriefing was done remarkably.
Dugg nodded, and he encouraged Kupchak: "This work is very good. Our anticipated salary reduction was done perfectly. ”
Subsequently, he was specifically instructed: "Sean Marion can be signed." Nick Young can also sign, although this kid is not smart, but he can well supplement Kobe's declining strength. As for the draft, you have to keep following up, preferably with a first-round pick. I suspect the Bucks' draft pick won't necessarily get the Greek monster. ”
Forehead....
Kupchak always had something in his heart to say, but finally asked: "Do you really think that little guy named Janis is so good?" In my opinion, he just has no physical fitness, and it is very likely that he will not be able to play. ”
"No, I think he's going to be the next core of the Lakers. The biggest task this summer is to get him! ”
Dugg gave a death order: "The chips are not just Jordan Hill and Blake, they can be traded for anyone." Do you understand? ”
Good!
Kupchak hurriedly agreed. Although he had doubts in his heart, he firmly believed in the Duke's vision.
