Chapter 227: The cornerstone of Las Vegas' entry into the NBA
Chris. Paul looked at the roaring Lin Sen, with unwillingness and joy in his eyes.
As Lin Sen's opponent tonight, he was very unwilling to be staged by Lin Sen in the Zuihou moment.
As Lin Sen's most haode friend, he has played games together, soaked in girls and visited nightclubs together, he is very happy that Lin Sen can have such a performance.
Putting away his unwillingness, Paul walked to Lin Sen, who was surrounded by his teammates.
"Wood, you guy, congratulations, I'll always remember tonight." Paul laughed and punched Lin Sen in the chest.
"Chris, you guy wants to take revenge on me, right, such a heavy hand, don't try to blackmail me tonight." Lin Sen smiled and punched Paul back.
No one wants to lose to an opponent, let alone be ignored by everyone, and the second-year team member who loses to such an opponent is naturally very depressed.
But everything has become a fact, and the second-year team members can only accept this fact, even if they don't have the relationship between Paul and Lin Sen, they basically come up to say hello.
Kobe Bryant on the sidelines. Bryant looked at Lin Sen on the court and smiled, which made many Kobe Bryants in front of the TV intoxicated.
"This game was a surprise to everyone, and we all thought that Wood. Lin will watch the whole game from the sidelines, but no one expected him to play halfway through, and it was because of his first year on the field that he kept clutching the score. ”
"Bill, you're right, it's all beyond our imagination, it's been an incredible game from start to zuihou, zuihou's 17 seconds I'm sure it's going to be the most iconic moment of All-Star Weekend ever, and now it's time for the MVP of the rookie game. I think everybody knows who this MVP belongs to. Hoffman said with a smile.
Bill. Wharton looked at the stats in his hand: "This game Brandon. Roy scored 28 points. Rudy. Gay scored 27 points. Below him was Wood, who scored 23 points, a third-high first-year scorer in 24 minutes, and Paul Wood. Millsap 18 points, Adam. Morrison had 16 points and Bagnani had 14.
Usually the best player goes to the one with the most points, but as you said, if the league gives the MVP trophy to Brandon or Rudy, it will be drowning in saliva. ”
"Maybe someone could do something like that? When I think most people don't want that to happen. Hoffman looked at the center of the field, where the staff was setting up the improvised podium for the rookie game.
Thomas. The fans at the Mark Center didn't leave because the game was over, and they were also waiting for the MVP of the rookie game to be released.
Five minutes later. The first- and second-year players have changed into clean clothes and appeared on the sidelines, and for the second-year players to watch the first-year people receive the award in person, it is undoubtedly a second injury.
"Get ready to claim your prize." Bryant smiled and patted Lin Sen.
Lin Sen smiled, although he felt that he should not have a problem getting this award, but David. Before Stern made the announcement, Lin Sen was still a little nervous, and compared to the Player of the Week award, this rookie MVP was the first MVP award in his life.
"David is finally out, and behold, the trophy for the MVP of the rookie game is in the hands of the staff, who will be the big winner of zuihou? Wood or Brandon or Rudy? The live broadcast is really bad, and if the sophomore wins, there is no doubt that tonight's 14 shots are 100 percent Mr. David. Lee would be the winner of Zuihou, but ...... "Bill. Wharton shrugged and cast his gaze on David on the podium. Stern.
Gray-haired David. Stern stood in the center of the podium with a kind smile. ESPN's Lady Erin. Andrews holds the microphone and stands with David. Stern beside him.
"We enjoyed a great game and now it's time to announce the Rookie Game MVP. Let's turn our attention to the great David. President Stern. "Accompanied by Erin. Andrews' voice, Thomas. The Mark Center fell silent.
"Mr. President, who is the star of the stars tonight?" Erin. Andrews handed the microphone to David. In front of Stern's mouth, his eyes were still looking at Lin Sen.
"Did Erin discharge at me just now?" Bynum pulls David. Li asked in a whisper.
Lin Sen, who was standing not far in front of Bynum, almost didn't laugh, Bynum was really narcissistic enough.
David. Stern opened his mouth: "Thank you to every fan who was there, thank you to every staff member, thank you to the players who worked hard for this game, you are the future ...... of the league"
The words are not finished, Thomas. The Mark Center thought about the noise, and slowly converged into a clear "WOOD! WOOD! WOOD! ”
"The fans were so enthusiastic and they spoke for everyone." Bill. Wharton said with a smile.
David on the podium. Stern, smiling, stretched out his hands to signal everyone to be quiet, he was so satisfied with this game.
Originally, he knew that Lin Sen was basically absent from the rookie game and had some regrets, after all, Lin Sen's influence was the greatest among so many players in the rookie game.
When Linson came off the bench, David . Stern was also pleasantly surprised, especially since the ratings of the rookie game continued to climb since Linson came on the court, and he had already firmly established himself with David. Falck's thought after talking is to praise Lin Sen, a rookie.
In this game, Linson made 12 shots in 24 minutes, hitting eight of them, including five three-pointers, plus two free throws to score 23 points, in addition to Linson also handed out 10 assists, steals, four and three rebounds.
Especially when everyone thought that the first grade was lost, Lin Sen stood up.
With a magical performance of 17.8 seconds, he pulled the first grade out of the bottom of death and kicked the second grade, who was destined to be the winner, down.
Lin Sen's performance David. How could Stern turn a blind eye, even if Linson only scored 8 points in this game, and someone in the first year scored 40 points. Stern is ready to give the MVP to Linson or the two to split evenly, not to mention that Linsen has scored 23 points now.
David Stern, who wore glasses, opened his lips with a smile on his face: "The MVP of the NBA 2006-2007 Las Vegas All-Star Rookie Challenge is ......"
David. Stern looked at Lin Sen on the sidelines. The on-site director also aimed the camera at Lin Sen.
"Orlando Magic Wood. Forest! ”
David. Stern's words didn't fall. Thomas. The Mark Center resounded with cheers.
The big screen above the arena began to play back the highlights of Lin Sen's game. A three-pointer, a sharp break and a precise pass all got the fans excited.
Hear David. Stern's words, Lin Sen's hanging heart fell, and a bright smile appeared on his face.
"That's handsome." Hoffman looked at Lin Sen in the camera and couldn't help but say.
"Hehe, this is not a good sign, although it shows that Wood Weishenme attracts so many women, but you are a man." Bill. Wharton quipped with a laugh.
After adjusting his mood, Lin Sen walked onto the podium.
"Congratulations. The NBA's tomorrow is yours. "David. Stern smiled and held out his hand.
"Xiexie, Mr. President."
Stern shook hands with Linson and picked up the MVP trophy from the staff for the rookie game: "This is your glory, I hope you continue to work hard." ”
"Mr. President, I will!"
Taking the trophy, Lin Sen held the trophy in his hand high. Once again, the Mark Center sounded a uniform "MVP! MVP! MVP! ”
Las Vegas Mayor Goodwin in the box looked at Linson, who was cheering from everyone, and turned his head to look at the NBA's executive vice president, Stu. Jackson: "We're serious about it, we want to think about Las Vegas seriously, we want to fit into the big stage of the NBA. ”
There is no waiting for Stu. Jackson spoke, and Goodwin continued: "As for your concerns, I can guarantee that they will not exist, and I believe that our ideas cannot be denied because of our economic factors. The Las Vegas people need the NBA, and I think this All-Star will be an unprecedented success. ”
"We'll think about it seriously. If everything is ripe we'll have a voting hearing, and if it does, I think the NBA family welcomes Las Vegas. "Stu. Jackson responded with a smile.
In the past two years, Las Vegas has applied to join the NBA as the 31st team. Stern's best helper, Stu. How could Jackson not know about David. Stern's thoughts.
Globalizing the NBA has always been a constant for David A. Stern's goal, although Las Vegas is U.S. territory, is still quite far from the United States as a whole.
All the time David. Stern is also considering the possibility of Las Vegas, and although the All-Star Game has only just begun, everyone feels the passion for basketball in Las Vegas.
"If it does work out, I don't expect us to have a lot of privileges, like Charlotte back then, and we're going to put $500 million into the league."
Hearing the $500 million in Goodwin's mouth, Stu. Jackson couldn't help but be moved, and the expression on his face was still the same: "We will work hard, I believe that if there is really that day, it will be a win-win situation." ”
"Hopefully, in four years, we Las Vegas people can achieve our dreams." After Goodwin finished speaking, he looked at Lin Sen on the field, and in the past few days, he really felt the popularity of this yellow man in Las Vegas.
It is very popular not only among the Chinese community, but also among the Las Vegas female community, and he is well aware of the popularity of Adidas' store in Las Vegas.
He also knew some things about the NBA before, and he had heard about Linsen, and in this game, he had a close understanding of the strength of this rookie with an idol face.
If Las Vegas can really join the NBA, then a star in the house is a must.
It is the right way to start the road of building a team in Las Vegas around the star of the house, and in Goodwin's eyes, Linson will be the most suitable person in Las Vegas for a few more years.
Lin Sen left Thomas surrounded by a group of people. Mark Center, getting the trophy made Lin Sen feel good and didn't care about being slaughtered by a group of people, at this time Lin Sen didn't know that he was being remembered by the mayor of Las Vegas. (To be continued......)
PS: First update, uh, this idea doesn't seem to have appeared in any basketball books, and it looks a little crazy!
As for whether it will appear later, if it appears, let's look at it below, if you don't like it, you can tell Xiao Ai in the book review area, Xiao Ai has always thought that it is most meaningful to build a dynasty under him, and if he really starts a new dynasty from Las Vegas, I think it must be more interesting.
Of course, this is already a matter later, and Lin Sen will definitely ...... before this
