Chapter 196: A New Era for the Clippers
The spotlight was on the entire Clippers team in the center of the court, and although the Celtics lost the championship, the work still had to continue, and the DJ's voice on the scene was low and charming, slowly ringing in the ears of the few thousand people left at the North Shore Garden Arena, "Ladies and gentlemen, please focus on the center of the court at this moment, let's witness the NBA 2009-10 season Larry. O'Brien Cup Awards! and 2010 Finals MVP Bill. The award ceremony of the Russell Cup! ”
One by one, the fans at the scene stood up and felt the wonderful moment that was about to come.
"It was a moment that belonged to the Los Angeles Clippers, and they deserved it, and I thought about my best year, which was 1977." Bill. Wharton seems to have gone through the years and saw the most high-spirited self back then, the red-haired Wharton who made the whole league awe.
"Bill, this is the NBA will always have the next new king, the Los Angeles Clippers arrived at his destination, Lin Fei came from the Purple and Gold Army to the crumbling Clippers, and the sinking ship began to glow with its new life, slowly moving like an aircraft carrier, and now we see that the ship has reached his destination, as a person who has followed him all the way, I feel indescribably beautiful." Hoffman also said emotionally.
"Let's welcome ABC reporter Blue with a round of applause. Evans' arrival! In the voice of the DJ, ABC is the leading reporter of the company. Evans stood in the center of the podium, then in the middle of the Clippers, and next to him stood the gray-haired David. Stern, David. Stern's smile looked like an amiable neighbor.
Blue. Evans raised the microphone in his hand and opened his mouth: "Thank you very much to the NBA for giving me such an interview, good evening everyone, this is Larry of the Los Angeles Clippers. O'Brien Cup Awards Scene! Let's have NBA Commissioner David Stern! As he spoke, Evans handed the microphone in his hand to David beside him. Stern.
"Thank you to the Los Angeles Clippers and Boston Celtics for putting together one classic match after another, although these two teams met for the first time in the Finals, but it did not prevent them from contributing to us the classic game, thank you again for your superb skills, burning passion and united team! The Celtics deserve to be the champions of the East, and they live up to their name. "David. Stern paused, the smile on his face noticeably thicker, "But this night belongs to the Los Angeles Clippers, the 2010 NBA champions!! ”
Accompanied by David. Stern's voice grew bigger for David. Andre next to Stern. Miller shed tears, Andre. Miller is already an out-and-out veteran, although he only entered the league in '99 but he is already coming to the end of his career, in the Los Angeles Clippers he has gained the most desired thing, here the championship has his own efforts, he lowered his head and looked at the championship sleeve he was wearing, and couldn't help but smile happily.
Lin Fei, this guy directly hugged the big shark O'Neal, O'Neal smiled happily and did not forget to play treasure at any time, this is the fifth championship ring of his career, which is exactly the right hand to wear; Rashid. Wallace coquettishly put on his favorite boxing belt at the Palace in Auburn Hills, Detroit; Odom, despite winning his first career championship last year, was thrilled this year, and when he made the decision to leave the Lakers in the summer and return to where his career began, he was under unimaginable pressure, and the pressure he had been carrying for almost a season was dissipated in this instant.
And Ron, who was known as the beast. Artest cried like a child at this moment, in the best moment of his history, his impulsiveness and temperament ruined everything he could have, that year he had the best team, the fans who loved them the most, their most beloved home stadium, the closest moment to the championship dream, but all ruined in his impulse, thinking of this, Artest couldn't help but look at Rashid who had beaten up his opponents with his spare eyes. Wallace, Wallace was smiling happily, and Artest grinned a little silly when he saw this. …,
Tyson. Chandler's eyes were shining straight at the O'Brien Cup, Wilson. Chandler and J.R. Smith were hugging each other, and J.R. Smith's new girlfriend was watching him from the audience......
"Congratulations Haoyu. Chen and his family, congratulations to Nell. Olshu and Xiyan. Chen, congratulations to the entire Clippers management, congratulations to Mike. Dunleavy and his entire coaching team, of course, we can't forget the wonderful players of the Clippers, who are the protagonists on the court, and congratulations to the Clippers fans that the 2010 NBA O'Brien Cup belongs to the Los Angeles Clippers. After almost finishing the celebration in a roaring manner, David . Stern presented the O'Brien Cup to Chen Xiyan, who was wearing a professional women's suit and held the championship trophy in the spotlight.
"First of all, I would like to thank my dad Chen Haoyu for giving me the opportunity to have such a great team, and of course I should thank Mike even more. Dunleavy coach and the best general manager on the planet, Nell. Olshu and the best Clippers team in the universe, the victory over the mighty Celtics is known to be a great thing, we proved ourselves with our strength, all our hard work paid off, thank you to the Clippers staff behind the excitement on the court, and finally congratulations to the greatest Los Angeles Clippers fans, this is not only the team's trophy but also your trophy! When Chen Xiyan, who is recognized as one of the most beautiful women in Los Angeles, lifted the O'Brien Cup, the whole of Los Angeles went crazy, and Clippers fans around the world went crazy, all of them chanting "We are the champions." ”
Then Chen Xiyan handed over the trophy to the captain of the team and the core of the team's leader, Lin Fei's excitement that was controlled at the end of the game rose again at this moment, looking at the O'Brien Cup Lin Fei stretched out his hand to take it, and then raised the trophy high.
"We're champions, champions, long live the Clippers, long live Los Angeles!!" Lin Fei couldn't help but shout, he was extremely excited at this moment!
However, Lin Fei was excited and warned himself over and over again in his heart that this was not the end, this was the beginning, Lin Fei didn't want him and his Clippers to become another fleeting meteor in the long history of the NBA, he wanted himself and his Clippers to become a team as great as the Purple and Gold Army and their opponents, the Green Shirts.
With firm belief, Lin Fei handed the championship trophy to O'Neal, the big shark next to him, "Man, thank you, I love you." O'Neill didn't directly reach out to pick it up but thanked Lin Fei, at this moment O'Neill directly attacked Lin Fei's cheek, Lin Fei wanted to dodge O'Neal's "flaming red lips", but the quality of O'Neal's cup made him very worried about the situation when he dodged, and he could only be successfully attacked by O'Neal.
"Oh, we've seen the best Shaq again, damn doesn't he know he's going to be cursed by hundreds of millions of women all over the world? This is what they have always dreamed of, and they have been preempted by Shaq, an old man. Hoffman said with an "accusatory".
Lin Fei turned to look at the place in the stands and gave out his flying kiss.
Then Chen Haoyu also went up to speak, as the owner of the team he basically did not appear, when he was about to end his speech into the microphone shouted, "Where is Mike, we need a great coach to speak!" ”
"Mike, this is the first championship trophy of your coaching career, is there anything you want to say?". Evans pointed the microphone at Dunleavy and asked!
"I don't know how we would have won the game without these fans, thank you, you have given us so much support, of course I can't forget that I have a great management, they bring me a team that all coaches will look at, so I'm just a supporting role, I just have to put them on the pitch and put my hands on the pitch and wait for the win, the fact is that I have the least credit, of course I am happy with this victory I am the happiest coach in the world, I hope this is not the end of my coaching career, I also want to have more opportunities to stand on the podium. Dunleavy said humorously, although everyone envies him for having an unparalleled team, but Dunleavy's coaching ability has been vividly reflected in the past two years, and has not affected the evaluation of professionals because of many outstanding players, especially in this year's playoffs, Dunleavy's bold and diverse changes have given his opponents a headache, and his on-the-spot command ability has been fully played, no one can deny Dunleavy's contribution to the Clippers winning the championship. …,
"Thank you Mike for his humility Everyone knows that Mike is a great coach, and let's award Bill to the best player in the 2010 Finals. Russell Trophy with NBA Commissioner David Trophy invited. Stern spoke again! Evans handed the microphone to David again. Stern!
David. Stern took the microphone: "I'm honored to be part of the award of the legendary Bill Brown. Russell's named MVP Trophy is given to the one who stood out in the Finals series, he is the star of the stars, he averaged 40.25 points, 7.5 rebounds, 3 blocks, 7.5 assists and 4 steals per game for the Clippers' championship, and he deservedly won the 2010 Finals Most Valuable Player. ”
Everybody knows David. Stern is talking about who but they are still looking forward to the name from David. Stern said it out of his mouth.
"2010 NBA Finals MVP Trophy - Bill. The Russell Cup belongs to Lin Fei! "David. Stern shouted Lin Fei's name with a smile, at this moment the fans of the Celestial Empire on the other side of the ocean were cheering, they were disappointed that they could not see Lin Fei participate on behalf of the Celestial Empire during the Beijing Olympics, and later the Basketball Association explained that because the relevant procedures were not completed but guaranteed that Lin Fei would represent the Celestial Empire in the 2010 World Championships, and Lin Fei personally confirmed the news, they are already looking forward to the arrival of summer as soon as possible, of course, Bob. Pelinka actually didn't hope so much, after all, Lin Fei had played so many games this season, but he still agreed for the sake of interests, not to mention that Lin Fei himself was also looking forward to this year's World Championships in Turkey, and Kobe Bryant and other members of Mengjiu had tactics against Lin Fei early.
Bill. Russell smiled and shook hands with Lin Fei, "Lin continue to work hard, you deserve this honor, and I look forward to awarding you this award more times in the future." Russell said as he picked up the trophy and handed it to Lin Fei.
"Dear Bill, I look forward to seeing you more times, the more the better, the better my ring can surpass you." Lin Fei responded with a smile, and then Lin Fei raised the finals MVP trophy with both hands to greet the fans around him, this is another harvest he has gained this year after the regular season MVP trophy, there are not many players who have won two MVPs in the same year, there is no doubt that Lin Fei has become the greatest player in history from this point.
Evans stood beside Lin Fei with the microphone, "From a great and amazing rookie to the finals MVP, this is your first championship, how do you feel, Lin?" Can you share it with everyone? ”。
"This is my first championship and it's a sweet and great moment for me, I feel like I was eating candy that my mom and dad bought me as a kid, I'm honored to have won this series with my teammates, they are the best, thanks to my opponents we wouldn't have done better without them, thanks to my friends I couldn't have done this alone without their help, thanks to my coach and my boss, my fans, thank you to those who have done for me, I love you!" Lin Fei paused, "Of course I won't forget the guys standing across from me, I wouldn't be so strong without them, thank you." ”
Lin Fei nakedly slapped Boston and the people standing across from him in the face.
"This series against the great Celtics, they have strong players and coaches, and they have a great history, although the result looked easy, 4-0, but we knew how difficult the game was but we persevered, the process of the game was far more thrilling than the result, and I am glad that we are united so that we can win the final victory, and hopefully this time next year we will still stand here and accept everyone's praise, of course, I will not forget the people who love me, they are my strongest backing and give me the greatest motivation, I love you. ”
As a journalist Bru. Evans was tempted to ask who they were, but apparently he wasn't allowed to ask, "You've set a lot of records, and you've set 3rd all-time records in the three years since you entered the league, what do you think of that?" Michael says he's feeling the pressure, and some even say you'll surpass Wilt's 100-NBA record mid-career. ”…,
"The third? Wow, are there so many? I don't even know myself, for me the win of the game is the number one thing, as for the record, of course, the more the better, I hope I can, but I don't force it, my mission is to play every game for the Clippers, I'm just getting started I think I should have at least 10 years to work on, I don't want to end my career with a lot of regrets, everyone wants to have a perfect future, and I'm no exception. Lin Fei responded with a smile.
"Congratulations to Lin Fei, congratulations to the Clippers, Lin Fei became the youngest regular season MVP in the history of the NBA for more than 60 years and then became the youngest Finals MVP again, he has made a lot of history, left a lot of dazzling data, I believe his future will be more brilliant, I believe he blesses him, this is his great beginning." Blue. Evans ended all the awards with this paragraph.
The big screen began to replay the classic moments of the four games, and the Clippers fans were undoubtedly the happiest people, and the fans in Los Angeles were waiting for their hero's return.
Locker room head coach Mike. Dunleavy was once again pounced by everyone with a large vat of Gatorade drinks, while O'Neal stripped himself off to show off his dancing skills, and Lin Fei was fantasized by Wallace as an opponent of the World Boxing Championship, and soon Lin Fei became the target of everyone's attack.
"You guys, don't! No! Lin Fei's screams soon came out in the away team's locker room, and soon Lin Fei was stripped to only a brief.
Lin Fei's teammates looked at Lin Fei with his hands covering his lower body, and let out a teasing version of the evil smile one by one.
"Shaq, how much do you think I can make by posting this video online or selling it to the media? I don't think it will be less than $100,000. Artest raised the DV in his hand.
Seeing the DV, Lin Fei's face changed color, "Ron, dear Ron, we're buddies, aren't we, so you won't." Lin Fei doesn't want his good image to be ruined by this DV.
Soon the locker room was laughing again, feeling the excitement of the championship on and off the Boston Clippers, and they will be returning to Los Angeles the next day, where there will be celebrations waiting for them, jet lag? Everyone was stimulated by the excitement of the championship and was so excited that they were not afraid of jet lag.
Although the Lakers won the championship last year, the celebration seems to be still in the minds of Los Angeles people, as if it was yesterday, but no one will be too little for the glory of the championship, and the mayor of New Los Angeles, Villa Legosa, who just won the recent election, publicly stated to the media that he participated in the celebration ceremony, and Los Angeles is proud of the Clippers.
On June 15, 2010, when the Los Angeles Clippers' special plane landed, Lin Fei saw the cheering people in the airport through the window, it was so crazy, people were waiting for the greatest glory in the history of the Clippers!
The Clippers reporter on the team took a note of the Clippers' day back to Los Angeles! He wrote so much about Los Angeles that day in this biography of the Clippers!
"When Lin Fei walked down the ramp of the plane first, the shouts of the airport pick-up staff seemed to be able to spread throughout the City of Angels, although it has always been regarded as a city of the Purple and Gold Army, but in the past three years, Lin Fei's Clippers have proved that Los Angeles does not belong to the Lakers, and when Lin Fei put the big O'Brien Cup on the gangway, the whole airport was in cheers."
After everyone on the Clippers directly refused to be interviewed, a group of people from the Clippers at the airport boarded the team's bus! Heading to the Staples Center, where the Clippers' celebration was prepared and began, Lin Fei was undoubtedly the favorite, cheering countless fans on both sides of the street as the Clippers bus drove through the sand breaker.
"It's a good feeling, I'm in love with it, and I really envy Shaq for getting his fifth chance like this, and this is my first time, my debut." Artest looked out the window at the crazy fans and said pitifully. …,
"Ron, we're all debuts, Rashid and Lamar aren't, it's their brace." Tyson. Chandler continued.
Soon the bus arrived at the Staples Center, and the entire stadium had been set up perfectly, and the bus felt the atmosphere of celebration, but because the players put out the championship trophy at the door of the stadium and interacted with the fans, Lin Fei is undoubtedly the most popular one, it is undeniable that Lin Fei's handsomeness is one of the most popular reasons, of course, it is more about Lin Fei's role on the court, although the Clippers are star-studded, but Lin Fei is undoubtedly the star of the stars.
The Clippers' celebration was scheduled to start at 11 o'clock Los Angeles time, and the parade did not start at Staples, Staples just announced the start of the celebration, and the parade took place at Los Angeles Stadium for several years, and the Lakers also started there last year, but the excited fans couldn't wait, many people waited at the parade from the early hours of the morning, and the outside of Los Angeles Memorial Stadium was already crowded a few hours before the celebration.
At 11 a.m., the Clippers' parade began on the streets, and countless fans waited on the side of the road for about 2.5 miles from Staples Center to Los Angeles Memorial Stadium. Soon, a double-sided bus float drove out, and Lin Fei led his teammates to wave to the fans on the bus and display the championship trophy. Clippers officials and coaching staff were also in the car to celebrate. The float slowly drove towards Los Angeles Memorial Stadium, where the celebration took place, where nearly 100,000 fans waited to share the joy of victory with the team.
Andre. Miller was scheduled to give an opening speech before the parade began, and the seasoned Miller looked a little nervous on the court.
"Andre, are you a child who has made mistakes? Do you need to tremble so exaggeratedly? O'Neill's unbridled smile dispelled Miller's nervousness quite a bit, "Shut up, damn Fat Shaq." Cursing Miller dressed up and stood at the front of the float, took the microphone, and looked at the fans on both sides, "Thank you all for your support, we love you, this is our moment of celebration, let's get started!" ”
At the beginning of the parade, the car of the new mayor of Los Angeles has been following the float, and the Los Angeles police are even more vigilant, generally such a large celebration will always have an accident, on the day the Clippers won the championship, more than a dozen were arrested for excessive celebration, in order to avoid this situation from happening again, the day before the celebration began, the police and Clippers officials reminded fans to pay attention to their behavior and not to repeat unpleasant things.
When the float entered the Los Angeles Memorial Stadium, Lin Fei needed to speak to all the fans, looking at the huge crowd of fans, Lin Fei could not suppress the excitement in his heart, and the crowd of nearly 100,000 people who took the microphone immediately broke out into the MVP call, and soon the chaotic calls formed a uniform voice, which seemed to spread to every corner of Los Angeles.
Lin Fei made a downward gesture, and after two minutes, all voices stopped, and everyone was waiting for Lin Fei to speak.
"This is our first time, the first time for all of us, this is a moment of glory for all of us, you are our strongest backing and we can't move forward without you, the O'Brien Cup belongs to the greatest of you, the Los Angeles Clippers have entered a new era, we have stepped into a new century, we have gone through so many seasons of waiting, everyone is looking forward to our first time, each of us can feel the energy of the fans, so we work hard, this is the first time and never the last, Hopefully we can still meet here next year, I love you, I love Los Angeles! ”
As Lin Fei finished speaking, the Clippers fans who had accumulated at the scene immediately gave him the warmest response, and the uniform shouts of "MVP" once again resounded in the Memorial Stadium, which can accommodate nearly 100,000 spectators. …,
Soon the fans were once again united in their voice: "We will come again. ”
"Shaq, did you get such treatment back then?". Rashid. Wallace said as he poked O'Neill with his hand.
"Me?" O'Neal quickly shrugged his shoulders with a questioning expression on his face, "I'm Super Big Shaq, what do you say?" But in the future, I will definitely not be as good as Lin. ”
Saying that, O'Neill focused his eyes on Lin Fei, who was standing at the front of the float, his eyes full of confidence.
This is the Clippers' championship celebration in Los Angeles, from this day on, the City of Angels is no longer exclusive to the Lakers, although the Clippers are indeed much worse than the Lakers' glory, but everyone firmly believes that the Clippers will not stop glory after entering the era of Lin Fei!
After the celebration banquet, Lin Fei soon officially started his offseason trip, first of all, to go to the other side of the ocean, not only because there are business activities, Lin Fei also has to meet with the national team to go to Turkey to participate in the 2010 Men's Basketball World Championships, for Lin Fei The international arena is a challenging place, although the strength of the Chinese team is compared with many opponents, but Lin Fei is looking forward to playing against stronger opponents.
Where is Lin Fei's limit?
ESPN expert group believes that Lin Fei's limit will be vividly demonstrated in the World Championships, because the Chinese team used to only Yao Ming to provide absolute firepower, and now Lin Fei will definitely get a lot of opportunities to join the Chinese team, and Lin Fei ranks first with odds of 1.32 in many bookmakers who have won the World Championships, which is enough to see their recognition of Lin Fei.
For the prospects of the Chinese team, the media on the other side of the ocean are optimistic, after all, there are not many absolutely strong teams in the same group, Greece, Turkey, Russia from trying to fight to win, while Puerto Rico and Ivory Coast have become the teams that must win, and then strive to become the top two in the group against the bottom two of Group D, so the hope of entering the quarterfinals is greatly increased, and all fans are looking forward to the men's basketball team breaking through history.
Lin Fei ended a week's business trip and practiced with the men's basketball team, and there was no objection to Lin Fei's appearance, after all, Lin Fei's strength was there.
"Let's witness Stankovic's crazy debut!" The sound on the TV made Lin Fei laugh, but he didn't expect that he would become a propaganda slogan.
Lin Fei himself was also looking forward to the debut of the national team, and the Liugang Stadium on July 28 was full, and the outside of the stadium was crowded with people trying to buy tickets.
