―― One is the president of the NBA, the other is the most popular head coach in the NBA, it stands to reason that there should be a lot of connections between Zhuang Fei and David Stern, especially after Zhuang Fei became the three major signboards of the NBA, the NBA's reliance on Zhuang Fei is absolutely beyond imagination, in this case, the connection between Zhuang Fei and David Stern is absolutely close in the eyes of the outside world, but it may be a little surprising that the relationship between Zhuang Fei and David Stern is not as close as the outside world thinks. Even if David Stern gave Zhuang Fei a lot of privileges, including directly leaving the press conference, including setting up an NBA award for the most influential person in the NBA year for Zhuang Fei, etc., but this can only be said to be David Stern showing favor to Zhuang Fei.!

And for Zhuang Fei, maybe it's because of some impressions in his previous life, or maybe he really doesn't like characters like David Stern, so Zhuang Fei has always been extremely distant from the NBA's family, except for some occasions that can definitely be encountered, Zhuang Fei can't hide from the NBA president to have a connection, in general, Zhuang Fei sees the most famous in later generations. For Zhuang Fei, he doesn't want to have too much contact with David Stern, nor does it need to have too much contact with the NBA president. Only this time, when Zhuang Fei took over the O'Brien Cup from David Stern, it was impossible for Zhuang Fei to avoid the NBA's first person again.

"Mr. Zhuang, congratulations on becoming a World Champion. This is the third time I've delivered this trophy to you."

When David Stern sent the O'Brien Cup to Zhuang Fei, he also said to Zhuang Fei with a smile on his face, since Zhuang Fei brought a group of people from Wake Forest into the league, the NBA began its own take-off road in one fell swoop, there is no doubt that basketball is a very attractive sport, and in the United States, basketball is almost one of the most influential sports, although it is inferior to football, but it is much better than other sports. It's just that for the NBA, the popularity of basketball does not mean the popularity of the NBA, because in the United States, the NBA is only one of many large and small basketball leagues, although it is the largest basketball professional league, but it is not the mainstream of American basketball. The mainstream of American basketball in the AA is a complete NBA in terms of ratings and influence, and the ratings record of more than 30 million viewers created by Magic and Bird during the NCAA war is almost unattainable for the NBA, and even before Magic and Bird enter the NBA, the highest ratings in the NBA will be killed by 5 times the ratings of the showdown between Bird and Magic.

In this case, before Magic and Bird entered the NBA, the NBA at that time was just an absolute 'non-mainstream' of American basketball, even if the NBA had established its own commercial status at that time, but such a business was extremely limited, and it was not until Magic and Bird entered the NBA that the NBA's ratings increased by leaps and bounds. Because a large number of NCAA fans began to pay attention to the NBA for Magic and Bird, and this is also the origin of Magic and Bird to save the NBA, the highest ratings of the NBA also began to steadily enter about 15% from less than 10%, this is the first time that the NCAA has driven the NBA, and when Jordan entered the NBA in 1984, the NBA also entered the most prosperous stage. And Jordan's entry also made a large number of NCAA fans complete the second large migration and attention to the NBA, and the highest ratings of the NBA have also been pushed up from about 15% in the Magic Bird era to around 18%.

Compared with the two times when NCAA fans paid a lot of attention to the NBA, the effect brought by Zhuang Fei and Wake Forest is even more terrifying, because Wake Forest is the most popular team in NCAA history, which is undoubted, because this team broke the ratings record for American basketball games held by Magic and Bird for nearly 20 years, in this case. The appeal of this team is definitely no worse than that of Magic Bird and Jordan, which is why Carter and Duncan are superstars almost as soon as they enter the league, in fact, Bird and Magic and Jordan all came in with a large number of fans as soon as they entered the league, and it was because of the entry of Wake Forest. The highest ratings of the NBA actually broke through the 30% mark in the previous two Christmas battles, although these two times are extremely special in terms of time and boo, but even if these two are excluded, the ratings of the NBA Finals in recent years have been above 21%, and this year it is possible to reach more than 25%.

This is definitely something that can make him raise his eyebrows for David Stern, which is why the NBA's family has always been able to tolerate Zhuang Fei's various outrageous behaviors, the NBA has a lot of strict rules for both players and coaches, such as behavior during press conferences, such as what to say after the game, what not to say, etc., but all this, Zhuang Fei does not have too many constraints, and Zhuang Fei can also have no scruples about refereeing issues that others dare not talk about. In this case, this has almost become an unspoken rule, which is also the reason why many people think that Zhuang Fei and David Stern have a good relationship, but in fact it is certainly not the case. It's just that David Stern is a little depressed, because all his overtures are in exchange for Zhuang Fei's ignorance, just like this time when he presented Zhuang Fei with the championship trophy, he prepared a lot of words to say to Zhuang Fei, but Zhuang Fei had no intention of listening at all.

"Thank you, Mr. Stern, this is the effort of our whole team" Zhuang Fei didn't care about the situation in David Stern's eyes at this time, he didn't pay attention to David Stern at all, the head coach of the Boston Celtics directly took over the trophy, and the Boston Celtics players and the owners and executives of the team began to look at this thing that they were both familiar and unfamiliar with.

"Coach, is this the O'Brien Cup, I thought it was all pure gold, why is it so light" For example, Maddie was extremely surprised when he received this trophy, for him, he never thought about the NBA championship trophy, but from the appearance of this thing should be gold, but when he received it, he found that this thing was too light. Of course, there are not many players who have this feeling with Maddy, there are not many players with NBA championship experience in the Boston Celtics now, and most of the players of this Boston Celtics are some championship rookies, such as Arenas and Yao Ming plus Prince.

"It's not pure gold, it's all silver inside, it's just gilded on the outside" Of course, compared to Maddy, Jackson and Xiao Ao are much more experienced, this is the third quarter of these two players to lift the trophy, in the first time these two are also the same as these Boston Celtics young players, but now, these two players who are not much older have the demeanor of a past person.

Now the Boston Celtics are appreciating the fruits of their hard work this season, and at this time, NBA President David Stern is standing on the side a little embarrassed, because at this time he was going to chat with Zhuang Fei for a few words, but in the end he found that Zhuang Fei and the Boston Celtics players did not pay attention to him at all, and in the end, the NBA owner could only stand awkwardly with the Bill Russell Cup in his hand. It wasn't until the Celtics finished taking photos that they once again set their sights on the NBA president. Especially the team's two super outside Maddie and Arenas, because everyone knows that this year's Finals MVP must be one of these two, at this time Maddie is okay, the Boston Celtics leading player doesn't have much desire for this trophy at this time, he is just a little curious, and Arenas on the side is not like this, this is almost something he has been dreaming of for a long time, so at this time, Zhuang Fei and the rest of the Boston Celtics could clearly feel the defender's trembling, in fact, the two men were too close this time, and it was also controversial that the final trophy would be given to anyone.

"Kenny, who do you think will win the FMVP trophy in the end?"

In the Boston Celtics commentary seat, Barkley looked at his partner Kenny Smith nervously and asked, as a person, although he admires Arenas, but he hopes that Maddie can lift this trophy, because whether it is from the regular season or the playoffs this season, the Boston Celtics' leading player performance is perfect, Arenas may be as good as Maddy in the finals, but in the regular season and other games in the playoffs is slightly worse, In this case, he hoped that Maddie would be consummated.

"It's hard to say, I think the votes of the nine judges will be very close, and this is probably the most controversial in the last dozen years," Kenny Smith said with a final shake of his head. There's no way to guess at all.

It's just that when the two commentators on the commentary seat were nervous and curious, and at this time, David Stern walked to where Maddie and Arenas were standing.

"Congratulations, Tracy, you're the best player in this year's Finals______________________
