Chapter 532 [Accumulating Character for Next Season]
The CCTV5 commentator broadcast the game live, and Zhang Li went down to the field to personally find Wang Jun for an interview.
Wang Jun recognized him at a glance, stepped forward to shake hands and said, "Hello Director Zhang, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”
As the predecessor of the Chinese men's basketball team, a fierce man who averaged 25.3 points per game in the 1978 World Championships, Zhang Li is undoubtedly a famous figure in the Chinese basketball industry. Of course, Wang Jun is no stranger to him.
Zhang Li saw that Wang Jun was so enthusiastic, and immediately relaxed. Although Wang Jun is a Chinese star, he was not trained by a sports school and has never played in China, so he feels a little alienated.
He handed a microphone to Wang Jun and said with a smile: "Wang Jun, let's talk about your feelings about winning the championship this time, right?" ”
Wang Jun replied: "Winning the championship as the core of the team is a new experience for me, and I am very excited, but I didn't expect it to be difficult to get a second ring so soon." ”
Zhang said: "Many fans feel that after you enter the playoffs, your playing style has changed a lot, how do you want to change? ”
Wang Jun smiled and said: "If you want to win the scoring king, you have the playing style of the scoring champion, and if you want to win, you have the playing style of winning the game." Coach Skels often talked to me and told me not to go to extremes and I adjusted according to his arrangement. It turns out he was right and he was a great coach. ”
Wang Jun praised Skels from the bottom of his heart, and without the cooperation of his coach, he would not have won three important individual honors. The two have a tacit understanding and are in a prosperous relationship.
NBA coaches, like some stars, are able to change a team.
For example, Suns coach D'Antoni can bring bombardment to any team, and he takes Nash to another level. Nash's MVP isn't just about his own strength, it's about the right system.
Another example is Larry Brown. He built a defensive system for Iverson back then. Covering up Iverson's defensive holes as much as possible, the offensive end gave Iverson free play.
Many people really think that Iverson will make the finals alone? That's all business media propaganda. After Brown was sidelined, Iverson couldn't even make the playoffs.
Skyles also changed the team from the roots. In the regular season, Wang Jun created a strategy suitable for him to score high scores, and in the playoffs, he used overall offensive tactics to make it difficult for opponents to guard.
In short, the coach is engaged in grasping the overall situation and strategy, and the star is the executor of the tactical strategy, all of which are indispensable.
Zhang Li asked: "It's the 18th today, when will you report to the national team?" It's a lot of games, and it's tiring, right? ”
"It's a bit tiring, but I'm ready to go to the World Championships and I'll report in July. Take a two-week break to regain your strength. ”
Zhang asked: "What do you think is the main reason why the Bulls won the championship?" ”
"Togetherness, defensiveness, hard work. The Bulls are the hardest team, and I think everybody will admit that. Experience can be compensated for with physical strength, and everyone runs as best they can in every game, whether it is offensive or defensive. ”
Zhang asked: "You once said that you didn't rule the league, but only one of the strongest players, have you changed your mind now?" ”
"Nope. I think it's still one of them. To be a champion, the Bulls have done their best, but I can't do without my teammates, basketball is always a team sport. So, don't hold me too high. Wang Jun began to become modest.
The more modest the victory. The more people worshipped, the more it seemed that he was not carried away by the victory.
It's also about building character for next season. If the words are too crazy, maybe there will be people like Stark House who want to seriously injure him. Malicious fouls.
ESPN's female reporter on the Dallas Mavericks wanted to interview Jun, and Wang Jun said something that broke her and the photographer. "No need for an interview, I'll ask Abby to do an interview when I get home, it's all the same, right?"
It's weird, very few people can do star interviews at home. The female reporter complained in her heart, so she had to give up.
The Bulls players wore championship hats, and the staff set up a simple podium in the middle of the court.
In the finals MVP selection, Wang Jun was elected without suspense, scoring 35.2 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 0.2 blocks in five games.
After O'Neal scored 36.2 points in 2002, someone finally averaged 35+ per game. CCTV5 called it a very dominant performance.
Wang Jun's defense has also been affirmed, and his defensive style is to be like people, rarely jumping, and like Kidd, he just interferes in front of his opponents. The Bulls also have very few blocks across the team, but because they don't lose their position in the defense, this defense is actually stronger.
The statistics of other players cannot be compared with Wang Jun, and the second best performance is David Lee, with 15.5 points, 10.3 rebounds and 2 assists. He didn't perform as well as Paul in the regular season, but when he entered the finals, his performance was eye-catching.
It is believed that David Lee will become an All-Star in the future, and Knicks fans hate manager Thomas even more for this.
Wang Jun received the MVP trophy from "The Lord of the Rings" Bill Russell and gave a speech.
"I prepared a testimonial of a few thousand words and memorized it for an entire night. But because I was so happy after winning, I don't remember that clearly. So...... I just want to say one thing now: I'm glad that the MVP of the 2006 Finals was me. ”
This is probably the shortest acceptance speech in the NBA, and in the stands, some fans gave Wang Jun a round of applause.
He then took over the championship trophy from David Stern.
David Stern smiled: "It's incredible that you've led the team to a championship in your third season and become the first international player to win two MVPs, so I wish you the best in the future." ”
"Thank you." Wang Jun is full of a sense of accomplishment at the moment, and his name will definitely be written into the history of the Bulls and the history of the league in the future.
Wang Jun turned his head and handed the trophy to captain Tyson Chandler, who was looking at him.
Chandler didn't expect Wang Jun to do this, and was stunned for a moment. Wang Jun gave an affirmative look, and then he took the trophy with a smile and raised his hands high.
Wang Jun doesn't think that the championship should also be lifted by the core, since it is a team honor, it is more appropriate to give it to a tall person, and it looks more imposing.
Championship music was played, Chandler raised it a few times, and handed it to his teammates, so that everyone touched the trophy, and Christie, who was not on the court, was no exception.
Wang Jun's thoughts were misinterpreted by Chandler, but they became more meaningful, everyone felt comfortable in their hearts, and it felt good to share the glory.
In the end, the trophy passed to Bulls owner Jerry Reinsdorf, who had a particularly good laugh.
He still remembers Michael Jordan's confidence when he came to him to negotiate and ask for shares, and his attitude when the Bulls announced his retirement.
Jordan was rightly confident that as long as he left the Bulls, the team would be over. And when he enters the management, he can turn decay into magic in the future.
Now Wang Jun has proved that Jordan is not the only one who can lead the Bulls to the championship.
Everything about the Wizards also proves that Jordan is just a superstar, not a real god, and the world will not be what he thinks it is.
The first championship has already arrived, will the next one be far away?
Reinsdorf now feels that manager Paxson has a point, the Bulls do not select high-pick rookies in the summer, but trade them out, and it is better to replace them with a strong star, even if Wang Jun's contract becomes very high from the third year and he has to pay the luxury tax.
Reinsdorf hopes the Bulls can successfully defend their title next season!
