Chapter 119: A New Banner

The Knicks were engaged in a brutal slaughter throughout the third quarter, and after being beaten three times, O'Neal seemed to be out of his mind, and even though he was in the perfect position, he was a little hesitant to make a move.

It is a pity that there were only three blocks in this game, and they were all given to O'Neal in one go, and it is not to blame that O'Neal's mental endurance is poor, and there are three super centers like him.

At the end of the third quarter, exactly like Houston's words, the Knicks led the Lakers by 25 points, and the real 25 points, the Lakers were completely defeated.

But isn't there such a saying? The greatest miracle is to prevent it from happening.

Although the Knicks already led the Lakers by a score of 84-59, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Van Gundy still safely replaced the Knicks' starting lineup.

Four minutes later, the difference between the two sides remained unchanged, and this time, even Kobe Bryant was a little desperate.

Van Gundy decisively replaced all the starting lineup and directly changed to the bench lineup, and even Osara Harrington, who usually barely plays, was put on the court by Van Gundy to play for a while.

Seeing this, Phil Jackson is also very neat, even if he is a loser, he must have the bearing of a loser, and Phil Jackson simply replaced his starter off the court.

The game officially enters garbage time.

Seeing this scene, the entire Madison Square Garden exploded, and people jumped in their seats, cheered, and hugged each other, and this moment they really waited.

Outside the venue, everyone almost stopped what they were doing, and even the meanest boss was not annoyed by the negligence of the employees at this moment, but looked at the screen with them.

Then people just have to wait, and the waiting time is excited, and the O'Brien Cup is presented with both hands.

The cheers at Madison Square Garden lasted only three minutes before being replaced by eerie sobs.

Don't get me wrong, it's not an accident.

With more than four minutes left in the game, Van Gundy replaced Patrick Ewing and Larry Johnson, who were determined to retire after the season, and Van Gundy called two timeouts in a row for this purpose, so that these two guys who dedicated their last glory and even their lives to the Knicks could get the greatest blessing from the fans.

Larry Johnson was better, except for Ewing, the moment he got up from the bench and walked to the technical table, many New York fans suddenly realized something and suddenly hid their faces.

There were expired promises, misunderstandings, quarrels, and years of burning passion, especially because of all that the Knicks brought, and now, when he left, the Knicks gave him a championship, at least, this time, the four centers of the year all had championships, and people would not look down on him because he didn't have a championship.

Ewing was slow to play, but the referee didn't rush him, and he knew what was going to happen next, so why not be an adult?

Ewing walked on the court in a small circle, and after coming on the court, he did not go directly to serve, but touched the Knicks' nets first.

When the fans saw this scene, they finally couldn't stop their tears, and one or two teardrops slid across the bridge of their noses and fell to the ground.

With a sense of nostalgia, people watched Ewing finish the last four minutes, and although it was four minutes, Ewing only made one of three shots and cut two points and one board, but people still watched with relish.

With seventeen seconds left in the game, Arenas couldn't hide his joy and threw the ball directly to Ward, and then rushed straight off the court, hugging Mo Xi on the sidelines.

This made the referee stunned, how should this be blown?

Van Gundy was also a little crying and laughing, after all, he was a big child! It's still a bit choking to be a starter next season.

Seeing Arenas celebrate so wantonly, a hint of annoyance flashed across Phil Jackson's face, but when he looked back, there were Lakers players with their heads down, and even O'Neal was still immersed in the nightmare of being hated by Moxi.

No, there's another guy, Phil Jackson sees the vengeful fury in his eyes, he likes that kind of look, the last guy with such bright eyes was called Michael, and now, he has a kid named Kobe.

"Ten!"

"Nine!"

"Eight!"

"Seven!"

"Six!"

"Five!"

"Four!"

"Three!"

"Two!"

"One!"

"Champion !!!!!!!!!!!"

With a burst of cheers from the fans in New York, everyone in the Knicks rushed to the court, and Mo Xi simply hugged Arenas directly to the court and threw it directly into the sky, but he didn't care about him anymore, Arenas sat directly on the ground, smiling stupidly.

Ewing's eyes were red, and he walked over and hugged Mo Xi tightly.

Larry Johnson also stepped forward and put his hand on Mo Xi's body.

The Knicks put on their championship hats, and at this time, countless streamers fell from the sky over Madison Square Garden, and in a field of color, Mo Xi looked up, opened his arms, and embraced the sky, and Mo Xi looked at the flag over the stadium, Walter Fraser's there, Dick Barnett's there, Earl Monroe's, and then Dick McGuire's, that one was Willis Reed's, this one was Dave Debusschel's, and Bill Bradley's, over there that 613, It was Knicks legend coach Reid Holzman, and now, Moxi has no doubt that there will be an extra No. 33 on it. Further down there is the 69-70 and 72-73 championship flags, and now, there will be an extra flag that belongs to him.

Mo Xi raised his fist high and shook it hard.

In the midst of the noise, Mo Xi heard someone call his name, in Chinese, Mo Xi turned back to find the source of the sound, it turned out to be Zhang from China who came to New York for live broadcasting.

"You must be in a good mood to win the championship, do you suggest we interview you?" Director Zhang was a little excited, but said with some apprehension.

Theoretically, the interviews with the championship-winning players are the official reporters of the league first, and then it is their turn, but this is New York, and according to Dolan's character, this aspect is more troublesome, and Zhang is lucky to take advantage of the loophole.

It is not undesirable to cherish it.

"So, how do you feel after winning your first title?" Director Zhang first asked the most basic question.

Mo Xi thought for a moment and replied, "It's harder than I thought, but it's easier than I imagined. ”

Seeing that Mo Xi didn't seem to want to explain, Director Zhang simply didn't ask, anyway, he wrote the report, and he continued to ask: "Now that you have won O'Neal, can you say that you are the strongest center in this league now." ”

This issue has been discussed by many people in China, but everyone has their own opinions and there is no conclusion.

Hearing this question, Mo Xi smiled and said, "O'Neill is strong, but the winner is stronger, at least this year, I am better than him." "There is some humility in the self-confidence, and the ink regret is still the ink regret, and it has not changed because of the championship.

"So the last question," Director Zhang asked with a wicked smile, "how many championships do you want?" ”

Mo Xi was also happy when he heard it, and said with a smile on his face: "Champion, no one will be too much, I just hope that I can still win the championship when I retire." This may be a domineering announcement, but it may just be a sigh of leisurely emotion in Mo Xi's heart, and no one knows what he means.

Director Zhang finally said: "Then I finally congratulate you again on winning the American Professional Basketball Championship, but I still want to ask you a private question, will you come to Dahua this summer?" ”

Mo Xi nodded without hesitation and said, "Of course, you said that you were going to invite me to dinner, I calculated your salary, and it was just enough for me to bring Ewing over." ”

Director Zhang instantly turned into a bitter gourd face.

During this interview, the Knicks pushed out the championship podium that had been prepared for a long time, and everyone in the Knicks, even the staff, walked up, and the Knicks finally ushered in an exciting moment to win the cup.

"2001-2002 Men's Basketball League Championship - New York Knicks!"

Stern handed the golden O'Brien Cup to the Knicks' owner, James Dolan, Dolan lifted the trophy high, ushered in a burst of cheers from the New York fans, Dolan handed the trophy to Mo Xi's hands, and the Knicks generals stepped forward to stroke the big guy, constantly lifting and lowering the trophy, like a group of children who had just gotten a new toy.

Among them, especially because of the most, he was almost reluctant to put the trophy down and hugged it in his arms.

Then, there is the unsuspenseful and incomparably glorious trophy, the Finals MVP trophy named after Bill Russell.

The white-haired old man solemnly handed the trophy to Mo Xi, and said to him: "This is really a wonderful finals, you are the best center I have ever seen." "The old man is very happy, the MVP of the game in the past few years, counting Duncan's pseudo-center, is almost monopolized by the center, although this traditional and powerful position is gradually declining, but the top group is still the best.

The Knicks gathered the two trophies in the middle, one for Mo Xi and one for Ewing, the two tallest men stood in the middle, the left and right players lined up, and Van Gundy and Dolan stood in front of Mo Xi and Ewing, because the two men were outstandingly tall, and these two guys were like two children in front of the two centers. This is a championship family photo for the Knicks.

Mo Xi's acceptance speech was short and powerful, but it made people feel that their blood was swelling.

"As I said, the victorious man always has to have, why can't it be me? Now, I did. ”
