Chapter 806: Are You Getting Married?
"This is something that has never happened in NBA history"
Magic Johnson looked at the three people holding an MVP on the court and said with some surprise, the selection of the Finals MVP is a selection committee composed of 9 people, in this case, there is no one in the history of the NBA since the birth of the Finals MVP is tied, the most special one is that Jerry West won the trophy as a loser, but since then the league has stipulated that the Finals MVP can only appear on the winning team, in this case, Even if a team has two people who perform very well, it is impossible to tie, in fact, Larry Bird lost the 1981 Finals MVP because of this, but he didn't expect that this time it was not two people tied but three people tied up.
"Maybe this is the best result, in fact, I don't know which of the three of them is better in this round of the Finals" Facing the Magic's words, Larry Bird shrugged his shoulders and said, maybe for this year's Celtics, these three are indeed the three most important people on the team, on the offensive end the three of them are the three core players of this year's Finals, when none of the three of them can dominate the series, the appearance of 9 judges should be considered a thing that can be allowed.
"However, I don't know if the league will create two more MVP trophies for the Finals, one trophy is not enough for three people" In the end, the Magic also agreed with Larry Bird's words, which was indeed the best result of this round of the series, and when there was a short silence, North Shore Gardens went crazy again, unlike the whole audience shouting Zhuang Fei's name after winning the championship, this time these Celtics fans shouted the names of Maddie Yao Ming and Wade, these three people are now the darlings here.
"Erwin, if I'm not mistaken, Wade's Finals MVP in his rookie season should have equaled your record" Just like not long ago, Magic mocked Larry Bird for losing the Finals MVP as the team's boss. This time it's time to change to Larry, you come to run the Magic, Wade is a Celtics player, and being able to have a Celtics player win the Finals MVP in his rookie season is definitely something that makes Larry Bird extremely happy, of course, although Wade's Finals MVP is the same as Magic's Finals MVP, but the gold content is naturally not at the same level, which is Larry Bird's natural way. So this is just a joke, if it really wants to be more gold-content, I'm afraid that this year's Celtic three people combined are not as good as the original magicians.
"All I can say is that it's a very difficult thing to do, but I have a lot to do with Wade being able to do this, he's going to be a great player, he's showing his potential now, and I don't think anyone in the league will say at this time that Coach Z's selection of him with the No. 3 pick this year was a losing choice, you know, I was the champion in the first place" In the face of his old friend's joke, the greatest player in the history of the Lakers said calmly, compared to demeanor, Larry Bird is not as good as him.
"yes. It's a very difficult thing to do, whether it's Wade's MVP or Coach Z's success in leading the team to defend the title again after 34 years, it's an extremely difficult thing, and now, we need to congratulate the great head coach in the history of the Boston Celtics. He's going to be the pride of all the Celtics fans and the whole of Boston, he's the best."
"Mr. Zhuang, congratulations, this is the fourth NBA championship of your career, can you tell us how you feel now?"
When the Boston Celtics won the championship last year. Zhuang Fei was late enough to leave the reporters at the press conference for two or three hours, but this year, Zhuang Fei did not continue to do so. Instead, they appeared here on time, at this time, although most reporters were still lamenting the Celtics' championship and the Lakers' failure, but in the same way, they could only sigh and be helpless, because this Chinese can always break what they want to see, of course, although they do not want Zhuang Fei and the Celtics to win the championship, but these reporters still sent congratulations to Zhuang Fei, after all, this is a necessary thing, and it has nothing to do with their grievances.
"Very happy" Zhuang Fei smiled and continued: "This is a very dreamy thing, I think you all know that the Boston Celtics have not successfully defended the title for 34 years, and it is a very wonderful thing to be able to regain the team's achievements like in the past, so now our whole team is in a dream" When Zhuang Fei finished saying this, he also made a gesture to the reporters in the audience to represent success, which can also be seen that he is indeed very excited now, of course, At this time, everyone in the Boston Celtics was excited.
"Mr. Zhuang, when you joined the Boston Celtics three years ago, this team had the fourth-lowest record in the league, and when you came to this team, did you think that you could succeed in this kind of team so quickly? You must know that the Boston Celtics are a lot worse than the original Timberwolves, both in terms of record and team personnel"
When Zhuang Fei entered the Boston Celtics, it was indeed the darkest time for this team, and the Celtics at that time were indeed much worse than the Timberwolves in 1998, the Timberwolves had a troika and a group of excellent role players, they made the playoffs, and forced the superSonics, the first in the West, into a life-and-death battle, which is a far stronger Celtics than the Celtics who are almost at the bottom of the league, so sometimes Zhuang Fei's achievements in the Timberwolves are amazing, But there isn't much surprising thing, after all, the Timberwolves have a good foundation, but in the Celtics, it's a little incredible to be able to lead this team to two championships in three years so quickly.
"I don't know" Zhuang Fei still didn't have any thoughts this time, but this answer surprised these people present again, but at this time Zhuang Fei didn't care about the surprise of these reporters, but spread his hands and continued: "I really don't know if I can succeed here so quickly, at that time the Boston Celtics did have a lot of problems, at that time the Celtics team of 15 people, and now only Maddie and Anderson are still in the team, Actually, my contract with Mr. Grussbeck was enough to bring a championship to the team during this contract period, but in the end, I think you all saw that I ended up winning two championships, which is really not something I could have imagined, at least when I signed with the Celtics, I didn't think I would be able to achieve this result."
In fact, Zhuang Fei's answer is a bit surprising in the eyes of many reporters, because with their understanding of this Chinese, this Chinese will not say such humble words at this time, but it is obvious that Zhuang Fei at this time is not as usual. So that's what makes these reporters a little overwhelmed.
"Mr. Zhuang, this year's Yao Ming won the MVP of the finals This is the first time that Chinese have proved that they can become the best players on the stage of the finals, what do you think about this matter, we all know, you are the president of the Chinese Basketball Association, will you take special care of Yao Ming in the Boston Celtics team?" And whether it's when you were with the Timberwolves or now with the Celtics, you have a Chinese player on your team, so in your opinion, is there a new generation of young Chinese players who can enter your eyes and think have NBA potential?"
Of course, although many reporters at the scene were a little stunned by Zhuang Fei's previous answer, but for Zhuang Fei, it was impossible for this press conference to be cold, and in fact, this time it was his compatriot and friend Su Skirt who threw questions to Zhuang Fei, the editor-in-chief of the Basketball Forward, for Zhuang Fei to lead the Boston Celtics to win the championship, the Chinese media and the American media focus is different, the American media cares about some very deep things, and for the Chinese media, It is enough for them to know the problems of the players and coaches of their own country, such as the Yao Ming problem that Su Skirt is concerned about.
This year, Yao Ming won the MVP of the finals, which is the first MVP trophy of the finals for an Asian player or a Chinese player. In fact, it is also the second international player to win the Finals MVP, in 2001, Nash won the Finals MVP as a Canadian, if Nash is not counted as a foreign player, after all, Canada also has a team in the NBA, so for the NBA, Canada and the United States are the same, of course, in 1994 and 1995, Olajuwon, who won the Finals MVP, was African, but he joined the United States in 1993, Then Yao Ming is the first international player to win the MVP of the Finals, of course, although he is tied this year, but even if it is tied, this significance is extremely huge, which is also the biggest success of international players in the NBA, so in this case, it is estimated that China has turned the world upside down.
"Yao Ming has always been a key player on our team, and he's been one of the most important players for the Boston Celtics since the day he entered the NBA, so it's not surprising that he won the MVP of the Finals this year, because it deserves to be. Or in my opinion, he now has the potential to be the league's No. 1 center, so that's my opinion of him getting the MVP, which he deserves, as for whether he has a special preference for Chinese players, it's not determined by his identity, before the president of the Chinese Basketball Association, my first identity was the head coach of the Timberwolves or the head coach of the Celtics, and I need to find players for the needs of my team, whether it's Wang Zhizhi or Yao Ming. They were all the players that my team lacked the most at that time, and in the end, it also proved that whether it was Wang Zhizhi or Yao Ming, they were successful, and this is the most important thing" When Zhuang Fei said this, he also smiled and paused, and then said: "Of course. Laughing at the rapid development of Chinese basketball, because the NBA and NCAA have entered China in recent years, basketball has slowly become the favorite sport of young people in China, which is a great achievement. That's why there are so many Chinese players in the NBA or the NCAA now, and I think most of them may not have the potential to enter the NBA at this time, but I think. Five, ten, or twenty years from now, they're going to shock the world."
Will Chinese basketball surprise the world in five, ten, twenty years? Su Skirt was directly stunned and didn't know how to speak, looking at Su Skirt Zhuang Fei who looked like this, he didn't have too many other ideas, what he said earlier was not a lie, now Chinese basketball has embarked on a completely different trajectory because of his appearance, and now it's not just the NBA that has entered China, but also the NCAA, and now China's home team is not only the Rockets that people love and hate, but Wake Forest, Boston Celtics and Timberwolves, the same, The connection point between Chinese basketball and American basketball is no longer just the NBA, it can be said that now Chinese basketball and American basketball have been completely connected because of the emergence of Zhuang Fei's connection point, and the all-round connection is successful, in this case, the better the development of American basketball, the better it can drive the development of Chinese basketball, so Zhuang Fei will say something like this, maybe for Chinese basketball twenty years later, when most of the players in their team are from the NCAA, Their results are no longer just about getting to the round of 16 or the last eight. And this is also Zhuang Fei's influence on Chinese basketball.
Although he is just a high hat as the president of the Basketball Association and cannot manage the specific affairs of Chinese basketball, his title as chairman is definitely well-deserved, and sometimes, influence can appear above power.
Of course, it is understandable that Chinese journalists pay attention to Chinese players and Chinese basketball, but these media in the United States do not care about the development of Chinese basketball. So after Su Skirt, these people's problems are all around the Celtics, such as Wade, such as Maddie, and of course, Arenas, who missed the MVP of the Finals last year, and in the end, a question from these guys directly made Zhuang Fei a little speechless.
"Mr. Zhuang, if we remember correctly, you once said that when you win five NBA championship rings, you will get married, so now do you have a partner to marry, now you have four championships"
Looking at the reporters below with bright eyes, Zhuang Fei also shook his head helplessly, this matter has always been remembered very clearly by these guys.
"I think you'll know next year," in the end, Zhuang Fei forced himself a little helplessly, showed a smile, and after saying this, he shook his hand and left.
Will it be known next year? That's what should belong to Coach Z.
It's arrogant. (To be continued.) )
