Chapter 220: The Night of Winning the Championship, the Night of Perfection for Many People
109-93, the New York Knicks won the final victory by 16 points in Staples.
The big score is 3-1!
On the stage of the NBA Finals, no team has completed a comeback from 3-1 down.
Plus the next game is played at home of the New York Knicks.
So, the silence of the entire Staples Arena was as if it were participating in a mourning ceremony that had begun in advance.
Kobe Bryant can notice the helplessness and sadness in the eyes of these fans.
In this game, he finally scored 25 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals.
Shooting 48% from the field......
Back in Los Angeles, he's in great shape.
But even in this state, if they can't score 38 points like in the last game, and have to miss some free throws at the last moment, the Lakers still can't win.
Ultimately:
This Lakers team has a gap with the New York Knicks!
And in terms of top strength, the Lakers are not much higher than the New York Knicks......
This round of the series reached Game 4, in addition to "the Knicks are really too strong", the biggest feeling for Kobe Bryant is: Li Wan has officially entered his peak!
Although in the previous season, on the stage of the playoffs, Li Wan has always been able to show eye-catching performances, but in 09, he will never put huge pressure on Kobe Bryant as soon as he gets the ball. -- Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan often have dinner together. Once Michael Jordan told him about the Finals in '91, which was the first time Michael Jordan reached the Finals in his career, and then started his "road to godhood".
However, for Michael Jordan, the most impressive thing was naturally the first championship trophy, but at the Finals, there was one more thing that impressed Michael Jordan:
"Magic" Johnson is not a very explosive scoring player, and the highest single-season scoring average in his career is only 23.9 points per game.
"But when he got the ball, I felt a lot of pressure......"
Michael Jordan told Kobe.
When you feel this way, you have to be careful, you will face opponents of the same level or even higher than you.
Since "Dragon Slaying Night", Kobe Bryant has really never encountered a similar opponent, but in this finals, when Li Wan picked up the ball, he would feel like this.
That's why he'll feel lucky to win Game 3 of the Finals.
In the final moments of the game, he shot 3-of-4 from the field, while Lee Wan shot 4-of-4.
Before Kobe Bryant's goal, it was Li Wan's mid-range top shot that regained the lead in the score......
The dominance shown by this guy, even Kobe Bryant felt that it was really a difficult thing to win a ball in his hands!
In particular, standing next to him are the current Knicks gang.
In the end of this game, Li Wan once again cut down the "triple-double" data of 25 points, 12 rebounds and 14 assists. This was his second "big triple-double" in the finals.
Judging from the 4 games that have been played, Li Wan's personal scoring performance is not as good as in 09, but this kind of easy filling in the data table gives people the feeling that there are only two words:
Invincibility!
The Lakers fans in the audience looked at this once familiar and now extremely unfamiliar figure, watched him smile and high-five his teammates, and watched him wipe his sweat with a white towel, so I wanted this towel in his hand, didn't ......
I want to go back to those years......
Back to that season when he was still wearing the Lakers No. 91.
Looking at them, they couldn't help but feel their throats and eyes dry, and at the same time, a sour and bitter feeling welled up in their throats, spicy out of their tears.
Pain!
It hurts!
When Li Wan stepped on their faces again, rubbing frantically on the floor.
This feeling is even more "blue, thin and lonely" than in 09.
Didn't you say that it hurt a little for the first time?
Why is it hurting more and more this time!
Shaq O'Neal made a "bye-bye, Los Angeles" gesture toward the crowd as he passed through the visitors' tunnel. He scored 11 points tonight, not the highest in the four finals, but he made 6 of 8 free throws in the free throw line tonight, and handed in a perfect answer to the "shark slashing tactic".
It also allowed him to leave Los Angeles with his head held high.
Da Yao scored 18 points and 6 rebounds in the game, and his single-game scoring in this series is a stable one, with 18 points, 18 points, 17 points, and 18 points in four games.
Li Wan couldn't help but think of the later "Brother Mouth".
No matter how wild the opening game was, it was only 19 points in the end......
I can't get another point......
This kind of "health ball" brings Da Yao a high hit rate of 75%!
As long as he plays, Phil Jackson's brow must be furrowed.
I can't find any solution to it!
In addition to Da Yao, Ray Allen shot 2-of-5 from beyond the 3-point line and Lewis shot just 33.3 percent from three-point range, and neither of the two top shooters was in great shape on two nights in Los Angeles.
Artest scored 12 points while once again limiting Deron Williams' single-game scoring to less than 18 points.
When Deron Williams was on fire, "The Beast" did not hold him down, but fortunately...... Delon's outbursts lasted only 3 minutes each time, which was basically the time when Kobe Bryant was not on the court.
Except for those three minutes, Artest was still very successful in defending Delon.
Pau Gasol has just 15 points in this game.
His personal efficiency is still good, he only used 9 shots to score 15 points, and in the face of Lewis, he almost played how to play, but the Knicks' "slashing shark" tactics were used many times in this game, allowing him to shoot five or six times less than in the previous games.
Otherwise, Pau Gasol would have been able to cut a "20 plus 10" in this game!
It can be seen from the personal data of Kobe, Pau Gasol and DeLong that their form and strength are actually very good, and they can complement each other on the court......
But even such a team, after 4 finals games, is still 1-3 behind......
It's really frustrating!
Phil Jackson said after the game: "We did everything we had, and losing, not a war crime......"
He, bow his head!
No way.
In the fourth game of the series, all members of the Lakers team, both in terms of state and personal fighting spirit, have been fully ......
It's all lost......
Some media believe that it is the pot of the Lakers coaching team.
"They shouldn't have chosen shark slashing tactics!"
This was the turning point of this series.
Phil Jackson didn't explain much about this, in his opinion, this is completely "consequentialism", relying on the results to reverse the whole process, naturally what is right!
But at that time, if the Lakers continued to stalemate, they would enter the "weak stage" of the starting lineup, and in order for the team to have a greater advantage to fight for rotation time, the "shark cutting tactic" was the least costly and fastest way to achieve results in Phil's view.
It's just that Shaq O'Neal's performance at the free-throw line tonight was too good, 6-of-8 free throws, 75% of the free throw shooting rate, it's just "living hell"!
Losing to such a Knicks, Phil Jackson admitted!
The New York Knicks return.
When all the staff appeared at the JFK airport, the cheers of the mountains and tsunamis instantly filled the entire reception hall.
It was half past two in the morning, and the crazy New Yorkers surrounded the entire airport, three floors inside and three floors outside, just to see the returning heroes as soon as possible!
It's a shame to lose a game in Los Angeles and lose the opportunity to make history, but in fact, after losing Game 3 of the series, New York Knicks fans realized what they wanted......
What bullshit "win all"!
Have you witnessed the New York Knicks win the championship trophy again after 38 years?
“mvp!”
“mvp!”
“mvp!”
All the cheers turned into shouts for him when Li Wan walked to the front.
And when all the Knicks walked out of the airport, they saw the helicopters flying in front of the airport, and the first one dragged a huge poster behind it, which was the poster of all the New York Knicks, the night wind gusted, and the neon lights of the "Big Apple" illuminated the giant poster, and then there were several helicopters dragging streamers, until the last helicopter flew over the sky, a few strong lights made the night sky like day, and it was still a giant poster, but there was only one figure on the poster......
Li Wan, who slowly walked off the court with his back to the basket.
Is that......
"83 Minutes Night", the picture recorded by a New York reporter when Li Wan left the scene.
It later became one of the best-selling posters in the United States.
On the poster, there are four big words -
"King of New York"!
Soon, a few shrill whistles pierced the already restless night sky, and the city was filled with the sound of fireworks breaking through the air, followed by brilliant fireworks exploding in the American night sky.
"King of New York"!
"Mr. Big Scene"!
"Li Wan"!
……
Again and again, in the sky over New York.
Li Wan couldn't hear the "crackling" sound of fireworks, because his ears still echoed the shouts of New York fans over and over again:
“mvp!”
“mvp!”
“mvp!”
This is, has it already won the championship?
Li Wan was eager to ask.
But that's what crazy New York fans are.
They were already enjoying the championship moment before it actually came......
This is called "Champion Huabei", which is about early consumption!
Li Wan still likes this kind of madness.
Smell the smoke that fills the night sky of New York, it's all ......
What the smell of money!
It's really not a comparison, it's just ......
It's also a celebration, Orlando can't make such a scale, and Los Angeles has its own identity, and it won't make such a scale for a player.
Only New York......
Like an "upstart".
It's all money, not a little bit of shelf.
The ESPN reporter wanted to do something about it, and they asked Kobe how he felt about it, and Kobe gave him a roll of his eyes and let them experience it for themselves.
Competitive sports are the most real, the winner can do whatever he wants, and the loser wants to save face, which will make people feel hypocritical.
Kobe Bryant knows this very well, so no matter how much he has an opinion, he can only find a way to find a court on the court.
Besides, it's the New York fans who are doing the work right now, and it's no surprise that these crazy people celebrate in advance......
Li Wan was also asked about this, and took off the glassless glasses frames prepared for him by the stylist, and he smiled helplessly: "I really can't do anything about them...... I can only win this round of the finals as soon as possible! ”
This answer fell on the ears of New York fans, just two words:
Spoiled!
It's as if to say:
Little masters, do it, I'll clean it up for you later, you can do it!
Such a "domineering president" approach has made many Knicks fans who call themselves "Li Wan's girlfriend" and "Li Wan's boyfriend" among New Yorkers.
On June 11, Game 5 of the Finals was played at Madison Square, the home of the New York Knicks.
Because the Knicks had already got the match point, David Stern appeared in the audience.
It's just that, as all New Yorkers know, David Stern's appearance at Madison Square tonight means that the O'Brien Cup is also coming to New York.
But what they sent for the little Utah old man was still a huge boo.
The only difference is ......
In this burst of boos, there is a lot of enthusiasm!
David Stern should have also felt the enthusiasm, smiling and looking in the direction of the biggest boos, his ruddy and shiny face was even kinder.
I don't know if it's an illusion, these New Yorkers think that David Stern has done a facelift, why do they feel so younger?
In fact, as long as they read more Lu Xun's books, they will know that people are in good spirits and good spirits when they are happy, and they look young when they look at people!
David Stern is in such a state. - This year's finals are not very scorching, except for the third game of the series, there is almost no suspense in the other games.
But as two representatives of big cities, even if this round of the finals is not so intense, the ratings still hit a new high, with the lowest game of 27 million people and the highest game of 31 million people!
As for tonight's fifth game of the finals that will determine the final championship of the 10~11 season, the number of viewers before the game has exceeded 26 million, and it is estimated that the final viewership will be more than 30 million......
At this time, there is still more than half a month before the expiration of the collective bargaining agreement in July, and David Stern has already seen the new collective bargaining agreement smiling at him!
Just one good thing after another, and to be honest, David Stern is a little bit reluctant to retire!
The atmosphere of the scene reached the most enthusiastic atmosphere after the appearance of the "domineering president" Li Wan, and for the New York fans who have never been so "spoiled" by the core of their own team, they now have an attitude towards Li Wan:
We will pose whatever you ask us to pose!
"Li Wan, when are we going to be No. 1 in the NBA?"
Before the start of the game, Spike Lee, the famous Hollywood director, shouted at Li Wan, who was about to play.
As the "same sect of the Li family", a big cooperation is waiting for this summer, Li Wan smiled and said: "Just today!" ”
His voice was very loud, and everyone on the opposite side of the Lakers team who was on the court at the same time also heard it, but Li Wan was not afraid of them hearing it, and he deliberately observed the state of his teammates during the daily training of the team in the afternoon.
After reading it, he gasped:
Terrifying!
In the first round of the game, the Lakers also felt this unusual state from the Knicks.
After Li Wan moved to the top of the arc with the ball, he waited for the first time when Ray Allen came around from the wing, and passed the ball towards his hand, Ray Allen took the ball and threw it, Kobe Bryant stood in front of him, but he didn't see it, raised his hand and threw it, and the ball fell straight into the basket.
3-0!
Deron Williams got the ball at the back, and before halftime, he first looked for Artest, who was opposite him.
His eyes wandered on the pitch for a long time......
Huh?
What about people?
"Smack!"
Deron Williams, who didn't find Artest, only heard Kobe Bryant's "be careful", and then stretched out a hand from behind him and slapped the ball away.
He subconsciously chased it, but the ball had been controlled by the "black hand" in advance.
It was Artest that he hadn't found for a long time.
This guy ......
Where the hell were you hiding?
Why did you run out from behind?
He watched incomprehensibly as Artest and Li Wan completed their cooperation in the front court, and Li Wan received Artest's pass and passed the ball back to him, assisting him to complete an easy fast-break dunk score.
5-0!
The big screen at the scene gave the answer, and Deron Williams's doubts were solved, the man was hiding in the other corner, standing like a wooden man, and only then did he slowly activate and touch behind him as he dribbled towards the halfway line......
In the audience, a 13-year-old boy looked up at the replay of the ball, and his eyes seemed to have figured out some "martial arts cheats".
His old father yelled excitedly with the crowd for a long time, turned his head to look at his son with a thoughtful expression, and asked him, "Jose, what are you thinking?" ”
The little boy known as "Jose" puffed up his somewhat thin chest and said firmly: "Dad, I seem to have found my way to the NBA!" ”
The Lakers completed the serve again at this time, and Deron Williams learned to be obedient this time, and the first time he got the ball, he first glanced at the bottom corner of his own house to make sure that Artest obediently returned to the defense this time, and then began to communicate with his teammates.
conceded two goals in a row at the beginning, and the result of communication was that Kobe Bryant stepped up and scored one goal first to stabilize the morale of the army.
Ray Allen was closely entangled, but when he was about to retreat to the three-point line, he immediately distanced himself from him to prevent him from accelerating to break through. Bryant noticed that he was going to step back and made a decisive three-point shot.
"Kobe Bryant voted!"
There was a strong smell of Beijing films in the CCTV-5 studio.
Director Zhang's voice suddenly became louder with Kobe's shot.
And when the ball drilled into the basket, his voice made the other commentators automatically "mute":
"Hey, this ball is too difficult, this is Kobe, if you are an ordinary person...... I really can't get in! ”
The score came to 3-5.
Li Wan saw the opportunity to break through Deron Williams, attracted Bynum's supplementary defense, and gave the ball to Da Yao, who made a one-handed foot crackle under the basket.
Pau Gasol was quick to make up for it, as fast as a No. 3.
But he could only watch Da Yao dunk the ball into the basket.
7-3!
The Lakers are still looking for Kobe, Ray Allen's defense has not changed because of Kobe's strong three-point goal, or the three-point line is the dividing line, as long as the foot is on the three-point line, Ray Allen will immediately retreat.
Kobe Bryant still didn't hesitate and shot a three-pointer directly.
"Bang dang!"
Not this time......
"The Lakers are really ...... teammates"
"Smack!"
Before Coach Zhang could finish speaking, Pau Gasol grabbed the offensive rebound and twisted his body to hook the ball in.
The ball was held in Da Yao's hand for the first time.
The moment to show his tacit understanding with Li Wan came, and when he smoothly held the ball in his hand, he immediately realized that this was a fast break opportunity for the New York Knicks.
At that time, he quickly jumped out of the line, and Li Wan also came to him at this time.
The two of them wanted to go together.
Li Wan took the ball in his hand and quickly advanced.
Bynum's retreat this time was obviously slow, Pau Gasol could only substitute for the defense, Li Wan found Lewis, and "Mr. 100 million" did not miss the opportunity to break quickly.
The three-pointer shot straight through the Nets.
10-5!
The Knicks doubled the Lakers' scoring in the blink of an eye.
Phil Jackson could only call a timeout.
On the ESPN commentary stage, Drexler looked at Bill Wharton, and his eyes were more or less puzzled: "The Lakers are in good shape tonight, right?" ”
That's how he felt when he watched the current 2 minutes.
Bill Wharton nodded.
Very good!
Bryant hit a difficult three-pointer, and Pau Gasol grabbed the rebound and completed the second offense. Just talking about the overall performance of the Lakers on the offensive end, except for Deron Williams who suffered a "Artest stealing the ball" that no one expected, in fact, they really didn't make anything wrong on the offensive end.
But the Lakers, who were in good shape, lost half of the Knicks in less than 2 minutes of the opening game.
"The Knicks are in great shape tonight!"
Bill Wharton only said one word.
But it also explains all of Drexler's doubts.
It's not that the Lakers are not performing well, it's that the New York Knicks are performing too well tonight!
The Lakers only had one turnover, while the Knicks didn't make a single turnover, and all of their shots were hit......
There is also a very horrific situation......
"Ray Allen, Artest, Da Yao and Lewis have all scored so far, and the only one left the New York Knicks without scoring is Li Wan......"
Li Wan's score never needs to be worried.
The rest of the people came up so quickly, and the media in Los Angeles suddenly felt that the wind was blowing outside the house, and there was a feeling that the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings......
Bryant's form is really good.
When he returned to the court at the end of the timeout, he used a mid-range jumper against Artest and Ray Allen to make it 7-10.
Mike Brown frowned slightly.
Bryant was in such good shape tonight that he was a little uneasy.
But in the next round, when Levan held the ball to face Deron Williams and also completed a mid-range jumper, Mike Brown's brow was lifted at once.
Is Kobe Bryant in good shape?
It's okay, we have Li Wan!
12 to 7......
When Li Wan hit the mid-range, the New York Knicks' opening streak was still improving, and at the same time, the starting five all completed the goal.
In contrast, the Lakers' offensive firepower is not as abundant.
There are still only two people who have completed the scoring, Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol.
Deron Williams sensed the eager gaze of "Prime Minister Phil" and stepped up his individual attack in the next round, with Artest using close wrapping to give him no chance at all.
Pau Gasol stepped forward and made a pick-and-roll.
Successfully misaligned with Lewis, and changed direction with the ball in succession, Deron Williams squeezed Lewis away and was about to rush to the basket.
Li Wan came around from nowhere and successfully interfered with his layup.
The ball bounced out of the frame, and Da Yao fought against Bynum, allowing Pau Gasol to grab the offensive rebound again, but as soon as he landed, Artest forcibly "grabbed the ball in his arms", making the "sister-in-law" shout "so strong" at the same time, watching Artest successfully complete the steal.
In the opening three minutes, "The Beast" pocketed the second steal.
Immediately followed by another wave of counterattacks from the New York Knicks, the ball went to Li Wan's hands, quickly gave Ray Allen, and "Gentleman Ray" hit three points again.
The margin is 15-7!
Now it's not just twice the difference, it's more than double!
Ray Allen chewed his braces like chewing gum, and that underwhelming expression came out again......
Kobe Bryant was anxious to find the three-point miss on the court, Li Wan continued to "deal" at the top of the arc, and after Lewis and Artest blocked and dismantled, he faced Ariza on the flank, and relied on the three-point shot of the height advantage to enter the frame steadily.
Fourth three-pointer......
Again!
18 to 7!
The score difference directly exceeded the double digits.
Phil Jackson had no choice but to call a timeout again.
This timeout is less than 2 minutes after the last one......
The Knicks started with a wave of full force to let everyone know what it means to be "unstoppable"!
The atmosphere of the scene is completely hilarious!
Kobe Bryant's face when he came on the court was also completely stinky.
D'Antoni is well aware that the decisive moment for this game has arrived......
As long as they resist the next wave of Kobe Bryant's outburst, it is a matter of time before the New York Knicks win tonight.
It's just that even he underestimated the state of the Knicks tonight.
After this timeout, Kobe Bryant did enter the "Black Mamba" mode, and also came up with an individual offense that was still at the first-person level, but ......
The New York Knicks also broke out with a wave of "offensive torrents".
The Lakers took two consecutive timeouts, but they still didn't change the team's fiery offensive state by half a point. Kenny Smith saw the end and couldn't help but say: "It seems that tonight is the night of the championship, even if Michael Jordan comes, I'm afraid I can't stop ......"
It wasn't until 7:14 of the first quarter that the Knicks missed their first team-wide shot.
By the end of the first quarter, the New York Knicks had only missed a total of three shots in the first quarter.
The hit percentage was a horrible 17 of 20 shots!
Among them, the 3-pointers were 6 of 7 shots, and Lewis and Ray Allen alone made 4 three-pointers in the first quarter, and they all made up for the slump in the third and fourth games of the finals......
Finally, at the end of the first quarter, the New York Knicks were 40-25 and already led by 15 points......
At the end of the first half, the Knicks' lead was 25 points!
"It's over, in fact, now we can already congratulate the New York Knicks......"
Barkley looked at the halftime score and felt helpless for the Lakers.
They're also pretty strong this year, but it's a pity that they met the New York Knicks.
Looking at Kobe, who scored 20 points in the half, Barkley said again: "I think Kobe Bryant at this moment must have thought of Allen Iverson in the summer of 01......"
That year, Allen Iverson tried his best, and in the end he only snatched a victory from the mighty Lakers.
Now, the same thing is happening to Kobe Bryant......
So far in this series, Kobe Bryant has averaged 28.5 points per game in 4 games, and this game should also be a 30-plus game......
But now it seems that he can only watch the team get eliminated 1-4.
Of course, Kobe's fighting spirit didn't allow him to go off the game when he was halfway through the game, and he had to try again.
It's just that this game is destined to be the Knicks' "enthronement night".
The half-time break still didn't affect the hot hand of these players.
Goal after goal, the difference continued to widen.
At the same time, it also seems that Kobe Bryant is particularly bleak.
In the face of the entire outside defense of the New York Knicks, Kobe Bryant finally scored a goal, and before 10 seconds passed, the Knicks would inevitably respond, either by taking a direct shot after bypassing the cover, or by Li Wan's own shot after blocking and dismantling, or by passing the ball to assist, the rest of the Lakers team has been discouraged, and they can't do it all the time like Kobe.
At 8:15 of the third quarter, the Knicks' lead had reached 28 points.
Phil Jackson put Bryant off the court.
Kobe Bryant, who was sitting on the sidelines, wiped his sweat with a towel, and the expression on his face was full of unwillingness.
He is well aware that there is a gap between the Lakers' lineup and the Knicks this year, but the gap is not in the starting lineup, but on the bench.
If the Lakers had enough depth, they would never have been eliminated so miserably!
Next season......
Wait for me!
Bryant's gaze sharpened as he thought.
Kenny Smith looked at his expression and couldn't help but say, "It's going to look good next season!" ”
Everyone knows what Kobe's expression represents......
The end of the "Black Mamba" represents that the Lakers have officially given up resistance.
Both sides have changed their starting lineups one after another.
When Li Wan left the game, he received the biggest cheers from the audience, and the sound of "MVP" directly resounded throughout Madison Square. Again and again, for the rest of the day, it never stopped.
The atmosphere of the scene has completely entered the "hi skin" mode of winning the championship.
Especially when David Stern saw that the time was almost up, got up and walked towards the home team's players' tunnel, the cheers of the scene went to another height......
"Both!"
And in the cheers of the audience, the game is officially over. With the sound of "all", 123-89, the New York Knicks defeated the Lakers by 34 points and officially rewrote the score to 4-1!
At the same time as the buzzing sound over the arena, "golden rain" fell.
Kobe Bryant got up and was about to leave the court, glancing at Li Wan who was getting up surrounded by the team on the other side with a disappointed look, and finally walked to the technical table and waited to congratulate this man.
Li Wan also noticed Kobe, went over as soon as possible, hugged him, and said, "Man, this time I did win you 4-1......"
"The Black Mamba" didn't react at first, then thought of the bullfight Lee had with him in his backyard during All-Star Weekend.
Damn it!
This stingy guy!
Is it necessary to remember this kind of thing so clearly?
He pursed his lips, his eyes fell on Li Wan's jersey, thought of something, and said, "Man, otherwise, let's exchange jerseys!" "He'll have to buy one for Vanessa later.
Li Wan did not refuse his request, and asked intimately: "Do you want my signature?" ”
Kobe grinned in disgust, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was more "authentic": "Yes!" ”
"My, you don't have to sign it for me!"
Li Wan reminded Kobe Bryant after signing.
Bryant:......
Wait, I'm going to kill you!
Said viciously in his heart
However, the scene of two people standing in front of the camera with their jerseys in their respective hands looks very inherited. Anyway, when the media reported on this scene the next day, they used the word "inheritance".
When Los Angeles fans saw this photo, they felt a little distressed again.
It would be nice if there was a legacy between "Lakers No. 24" and "Lakers No. 25"!
It turns out that Deron Williams can't be a "replacement" for Li Wan either!
DeLong: I'm damn it! My performance is what this rookie can play in his first year?
Huh?
Why should I compare with Li Wan in the first year?
Deron Williams felt like he was being taken to the ditch.
Shaq O'Neal waited for Kobe Bryant and Li Wan to finish taking photos, and hugged Kobe Bryant for the first time, and the two "met and laughed at each other" during the 09 All-Star Weekend, and there was no "shark and snake hate" in the rivers and lakes since then.
The cameras in the hands of the reporters began to "Kacha Kacha" again, which is destined to be another classic scene.
No, Shaq said things like "Hey, I'm sorry, Kobe, I didn't expect to retire soon, and I will win you again", "This is my fifth championship ring, I believe that you will get your fifth championship ring soon" and the like, and hugged Kobe Bryant, not to mention how warm it is.
Kobe Bryant also seems to be "moved".
"Shaq ......"
"Can you give me your jersey too......?"
He's going to kill two of the opponents he cares about the most in his career in one night!
This is undoubtedly a challenge, but the last thing he is afraid of is a challenge!
After the game, Kobe Bryant faced the camera, still unwilling: "The runner-up is the biggest loser......"
These words are reminiscent of the look in his eyes sitting on the bench in the third quarter, and it makes media reporters look forward to Kobe's "revenge show" next year.
However, at this time, all the spotlight was focused on the Knicks bench at the scene.
Amid the cheers of the audience, Li Wan put on the Knicks hat that symbolizes the championship.
Kenny Smith smiled: "Let's congratulate Li Wan and congratulate the Knicks on becoming the NBA champion in the 10~11 season!" ”
In the CCTV-5 studio, Su Qun was also saying this: "Let's also congratulate the Knicks, who won the championship again after 38 years!" ”
Director Zhang was happy like a child, applauding and shouting: "Win, win, champion!" ”
The pictures from the scene kept switching between Li Wan and Yao Ming.
Li Wan's expression was not very excited, and he experienced the moment of winning the championship for the second time, but at this moment, he was calm.
Da Yao has already laughed into a meme.
From '02 to '11, 9 years, he finally reached the top of the NBA's highest glory, and from now on, please call him by his new name:
Champion Little Giant!
Like him, who has a new name, there is Artest, now please call him:
Champion Beast!
And, of course, the "all-time three-point champion of the championship......
and "Big Shark Who Kicked Kobe Bryant's Ass Again" Shaq O'Neal!
Especially when he was holding the O'Brien Cup, Da Yao, who had been smiling, smiled and smiled, and his eyes were red.
He must admit that throughout his basketball career, the national team has always been at the top of the NBA, and he does not deny that. It's just that when his attending doctor told him that he only had the last two years left in his career, he revisited this basketball career, but he felt that he had to fight for the championship at least once!
This was one of the main reasons why he finally decided to come to New York, and he didn't want to regret it. At this moment, Da Yao looked at the championship trophy in front of him affectionately, and he felt that his career was really complete......
Artest waited next to Da Yao to hand him the championship trophy.
A certain longing in his eyes turned into satisfaction when the trophy reached him.
Since entering the league in '99, he must admit that he was not pushing for the championship trophy at the beginning.
Even, the reason why he chose basketball back then was different from most players, he loved boxing, but he didn't have much talent, in order to distract him from the excessive energy generated by his irritability, the doctor advised him to play basketball more.
Unexpectedly, he found what he was good at in basketball.
Making money with basketball became the motivation for him to enter the NBA.
And after entering the NBA, he focused more on proving that he was the boss of the team. And not the overall championship.
Until he left the Kings, Artest, who was nearly 30 years old, took a big contract and released an album with a big contract, satisfying his dream of being a singer, he suddenly realized that "retirement" was getting closer and closer to him.
It's time for him to do something about his talent!
The "road to victory" belonging to the "beast" has also officially begun.
From the Rockets to the Magic, from the Magic to the Knicks, along the way, he felt how difficult it is to work hard for the championship!
However, he was fortunate that in three years, he won the first championship trophy of his career......
"What!"
"What!"
"What!"
Frantically kissed the trophy in his hand, until the whole cup left his big lip print, Artest did not react, and then there were still people waiting to touch the trophy!
He reluctantly handed the trophy to the next person......
Ray Allen watched the O'Brien Cup be stamped with Artest's saliva, but when the championship trophy was handed to him, he didn't have the slightest disgust, leaning his head on it and smiling contentedly.
From 96 to 11 years, a career of 15 years, he finally held the championship trophy that he had been fighting for for n years in his hands.
As a Knicks player......
Turning his head to look around at the familiar Madison Square, he suddenly remembered the first time he entered the arena, it was the summer of '96, when David Stern stood in the center of the stage and announced: "The fourth pick in the first round in '96, the Milwaukee Bucks drafted ...... Ray Allen from the University of Connecticut! ”
Nationally recognized draft year by scouts,?
Allen beat Walker, Volute, Marbury, Steve Nash and other talents, and was selected with the fourth pick in the first round, which is enough to say "the genius of geniuses".
At that time, Ray Allen never expected that his first championship would be 15 years later, as a main player......
If you could travel through time and space and say a word to yourself at that time, Ray Allen, who was rubbing the championship trophy at the moment, whispered: "Ray, you may not know, winning the championship...... What a hard thing to do! ”
Beverly, who was next to him, heard his whispered words and was very puzzled:
Is it difficult?
Didn't you just get one when you first entered the alliance?
