Chapter 268: The Future Is Mine (6300 Words Chapter)

In the 07~08 season, after the Lakers lost to the Celtics in the Finals, Kobe Bryant said at the end of the Finals:

"No. 2 means you're the number one loser."

Wen Wu first, Wu Wu no second, in competitive sports, the second place will be forgotten most of the time, at most when you turn over the old accounts, come to the last sentence if XXX

In the NBA league, if the "if" theory only exists in the mouths of fans, when you really want to make a historical ranking, there is no excellent honor, there is no championship in you, and you hit the top 10 in history, it is probably a dream.

After all, the first few bigwigs are too legendary, and if you want to surpass the old-timers, you can't rely on Excel alone.

On the morning of the 21st, in the Heat team's training session, although Coach Spo has been encouraging the players not to give up these days, the words of déjà vu reminded everyone of the Heat team of last year's Finals again.

A year on, things didn't seem to have changed, and Wade made the sacrifice of giving his horse to his good brother James, but the final result showed that even if he gave up the big spot, the championship was still out of reach.

Chris Bosh once again thought back to the image of himself crying after the finals last year, the stats were seriously shrunk, and the fans complained wildly in the last year, Bosh felt that he had sacrificed enough.

LeBron James has a blank face, he has worked very hard all season, even when he plays the No. 4 position, or even the No. 5 position, he will not complain, he wants to win the championship as the leader of the team.

The Heat atmosphere team was also in the mood to talk, even though the Heat still had a chance in theory, and head coach Spo reminded them that history is made by people.

But falling behind 1:3 and still losing the game after playing well at home, all made the atmosphere group feel that the team was no longer good, there was no American knife, no honor, and some were just wanton ridicule from the fans.

broke the big defense, this is the truest portrayal of the Heat team.

Cavaliers fans have been in the New Year, and these two days have been jumping up and down on social media, frantically taunting LeBron James, this is the result of betraying his hometown, James will never win a championship!

That night, the NBA league has sent the O'Brien Cup to Miami, American Airlines Arena, and the award process has been rehearsed in the past two days, and the G5 game has not yet started, and the league seems to have confirmed that the Heat will lose.

Heat fans who bought tickets early regretted that it was enough to watch other teams win the championship once on their home court, and most people were not in the mood to see the Thunder win the award again.

After the game began, the Heat fans at the scene were a little unrefreshed, except for a small number of Thunder fans who shouted excitedly, most of the fans were silently watching the game.

The shooting touch of the role players is back to normal again, whether it is Battier who starts, Mike Miller who comes off the bench, and James Jones who are all on the outside.

Despite the excellent performance of the Big Three, LeBron James, who was 6-of-9 in the half, had 15 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, while Bosh and Wade were both 4-of-6 from the field, scoring 10 and 9 points efficiently.

But at this time, the score on the court was 59:50, and the Thunder easily led by nine points.

The hearts of the people were scattered, the team was not easy to lead, and at halftime, Coach Spo was already numb, and when he saw the dull locker room, the whole coaching staff didn't have the heart to say anything more.

And the Thunder was in the locker room, Durant silently calculated the average points per game, but after calculating, he found that unless he exploded 40+ in this game, he couldn't compare to Li Ze in terms of data.

"It seems that the Heat are in no mood to play, and to be honest, there have been a lot of sports media cynicism in the past two days, and LeBron James's decision has been reviewed again, and I kind of understand the other party's feelings."

Turtle Turtle doesn't pay much attention to the news on Twitter, but in the past two days, TNT, who likes to do things, has reviewed the talent stalk again, and is even more cynical about the performance of the Heat team.

"It's all LeBron James' own hands, I still can't understand the other party's decision in the first place, the Heat didn't plan to pay too much luxury tax, all three took a pay cut, it's really crazy."

Durant put away the little abacus in his heart, and when he heard Turtle's words, he immediately mocked the Heat's brother basketball.

"Stick to the half, then open the champagne, it's not time to relax, of course, we can do prepare the acceptance speech in advance, it's definitely going to be useful."

Li Ze heard his teammates chatting more and more, and hurriedly reminded him, after all, the game is not over yet, and the difference of 9 points is not much.

"Kayce should be able to get his second FMVP, and at the age of 22, he has achieved such an achievement, and I think it will be difficult to break such a record in the future."

"It's a pity that I didn't make it to the best defensive team this season, and if I get a Dpoy in the future and enter the first defensive lineup, the honor will be a grand slam!"

"How can it be a Grand Slam, the Most Improved Player Award, the Best Sixth Man may not be able to be won by Kayce in his life, his strength does not allow it!"

When Durant heard the atmosphere group chattering about Li Ze's current awards, he was suddenly possessed by lemon essence, and his heart was sour to death

In the second half of the game, the Heat's Big Three continued to fight, but the inaccuracy of the role players made it difficult for the team to respond from the outside.

The Thunder's defense returned to the team, with LeBron James still pushing through the tank and distributing the ball to the perimeter, and the Heat firing on the wing and in the corner, only Battier hit a three-pointer.

The Heat fans at the scene saw the Thunder's conversion offense wave after wave, and they were completely emotional, and in the entire American Airlines arena, only the DJ was still shouting.

"If the Heat had won the game in G4, maybe tonight would have been very different, the role players have played well enough, and compared to the Thunder, James and Wade's style of play has not complemented each other."

On the commentary table of the ABC on the spot, Jeff Van Gundy also began to talk about things off the court, and the commentator Mike Brin asked curiously while introducing the situation on the field:

"How can the Heat strengthen this offseason? Many teams may have to make big moves this year. ”

Hearing the inquiry, Jeff Van Gundy immediately smiled and gave his opinion:

"With LeBron James at the core, the Heat also need to add quality shooters, and at the same time, they should also add a rim-protecting center on the inside."

"Chris Bosh is not suitable for the No. 5 position, and as long as he is properly strengthened, the Heat will still be a strong contender for the championship next season."

When the two were gossiping, Chris Bosh, who was covering the outside bomb, received a pass from James outside the three-point line, and when no one was guarded, he quickly jumped at the top of the arc.

"Huh!" Three-pointers hollow into the net.

Bosh didn't celebrate too much, and the Heat fans in the stadium didn't get excited, and the margin was still 9 points, which was too bad.

The Thunder team quickly sent out the baseline ball, and after the turtle dribbled through the half, he also did not play nonsense, called a low-post tactic to Li Ze, and then signaled his teammates to clear one side.

Wade is still working very the defensive end tonight, seeing Li Ze asking for the ball with his back, he immediately wanted to half-circle the front defense, the two of them tore apart, seeing Li Ze pretending to turn around, Wade hurriedly shrank back, and then was stuck behind him in the next second.

Successfully received the pass from the turtle, Li Ze leaned back, released the ball with his right hand, and hit it twice.

Noticing that Chalmers, who was on the line, seemed to want to wrap up the defense, and at the moment when the opponent moved, he immediately used his right foot as the axis, quickly turned back, and easily threw a backward jumper!

“Kayce Fade away! That's good! ”

Commentator Mike Brin was no longer excited, but the Miami fans at the scene erupted in huge boos, and it was clear that Li Ze had become the Heat's number one public enemy.

Coach Brooks, who was on the sidelines, sat on the bench and saw Li Ze score, then stood up with a smile on his face and motioned for the players to continue to defend.

In the rest of the 3rd quarter of the game, Durant was full of motivation, actively asked for the ball on the court, and scored points in a row.

When it came to the intermission, Durant glanced at Li Ze's technical statistics, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, with 24 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, only 2 points less than him.

With 2 minutes and 58 seconds left in the game, Coach Spo was extremely bitter in his heart, replaced the main lineup, and completely conceded defeat.

LeBron James returned to the bench with a blank face, and no one could have guessed what was going on in James' mind at this time.

Chris Bosh covered his head with a towel, not wanting others to see his expression, and Wade just watched as the players on both sides continued to score points on the court, as if he couldn't believe that he had lost to the same opponent again this year.

When the hum of the final game sounded, the score was fixed at 113:104, without any suspense, the big score was 4:1, and the Thunder gentleman swept the Heat!

Everyone on the Heat team saw the jubilation on the Thunder bench, and their hearts were sour, Li Ze hugged everyone with a smile, and soon, Wade appeared in front of Li Ze.

The two simply bumped fists, and then hugged and greeted, Wade was not in a high mood, and simply sent blessings:

"Congratulations, Bro! You're the better team! ”

"Come on, Bro! You're the best opponent I've ever faced in the past two years, and I hope I can continue to fight against each other in the future. ”

As soon as Wade heard Li Ze's words, the corners of his mouth twitched, he controlled his facial expressions, and completed the business blowing to each other, and then he said goodbye and left.

The cameras at the scene have been following Li Ze, and Amika's media reporters were a little disappointed when they saw LeBron James calmly blessing everyone on the Thunder team.

Chris Bosh also managed to control his emotions and send a simple greeting to the Thunder team, but when he walked to the players' tunnel, Bosh still covered his head with a towel

The podium was set up step by step, and such a scene made the Heat fans on the scene very painful, and there was no difference from last year, witnessing the opponent receiving the award at home again, which made many spectators leave the court early.

The voting for the finals FMVP is also going on at the same time, in the G5 game, Li Ze was 10 of 20, including 3 of 8 three-pointers, 7 of 8 free throws, 30 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 1 turnover, with the help of the turtle, the data is very beautiful.

After five games, he averaged 32.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.4 steals, 0.6 blocks and 1.8 turnovers per game, shooting 52.8% from the field, 45.3% from three-point range, and 92.2% from the free throw line.

Standard 180 club stats, but when pundits look at Durant's stats, they were surprised.

He averaged 28.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.4 steals and 2.6 turnovers per game while shooting 54.8% from the field, 39.4% from three-point range and 88.6% from the free throw line.

Several ball critics saw the data of the two, and they all felt that the Heat team had lost unjustly, and there was no suspense about who to vote for.

Li Ze leads all players on both teams in average points per game and efficiency value, plus the bonus of age, this gimmick league will not let go, the exaggerated record can attract more fans, and the star-making movement cannot be stopped!

The Thunder team happily changed into championship T-shirts, and the team's staff also flew from Russia to Miami, but compared to the first championship in team history, owner Bennett was happy, but his heart was very bitter.

General manager Presti didn't think about anything else at this time, hugged every player warmly, and everyone was no stranger to the championship award ceremony, laughing and returning to the center of the field.

ESPN's host stood on the podium and sent blessings with a smile:

"It's great to see the young lads here again this year and thank you to both sides for a great final for the fans!"

President David Stern is also very happy, although the G5 ratings are a bit stretched, but by and large, after this grand final, there will definitely be new leeks.

Seeing the host handing him the microphone, Mr. President, who was in a good mood, immediately smiled and said:

“Thank you! Once again, I would like to thank the passionate fans in both cities, and on behalf of the league, I would like to thank the City and Miami City Halls for their full cooperation. ”

"It's been a very tough season and I'm honored to see City win the championship again, 56-10 in the regular season, 12-1 in the playoffs, 4-1 in the Finals, and the young lads are living up to their talents!"

"I am very honored to announce that the overall champion of the 2011~2012 season is the Oklahoma City Thunder! Let's congratulate the young lads again! ”

Seeing the familiar golden spherical trophy, everyone in the Thunder team shouted excitedly, and everyone did not steal the show, signaling Li Ze to win the cup for the first time.

When Li Ze lifted the golden spherical trophy with a smile on his face, everyone on the podium of the Thunder team happily raised their hands and cheered loudly:

"Oh!"

Remembering the sparse applause in the American Airlines arena, the ESPN host began a brief interview with owners Bennett and Brooks head coaches:

"Unbelievable, I'm so proud of the boys, I'm so proud of my hometown of Oh, two in a row, great achievement, and I want to thank all the fans who care about the Thunder, you guys are the best!"

Boss Bennett looked very excited during the interview, and in this moment, he also forgot the pressure on the salary cap.

Moving from Seattle to Russia, he was under tremendous pressure from public opinion. But after winning two championships, the Thunder have surpassed the SuperSonics in terms of championships.

"Brooks, lead a young team to the finals two years in a row, win the championship, we all want to hear from you!"

"I want to thank the Thunder for this logging tiredness, thank you to my coaching team, thank you to my players"

Coach Brooks is still the good old man to speak, praising every player on the team, and the Thunder are taking turns stroking the trophy at this time.

The new Marchand Brooks is even more smiling, and he won the championship in the first year of his career, what is a winner in life!

When the slightly smaller golden FMVP trophy came to the award table, Durant looked at it directly, and the turtle turtle stood next to Li Ze and began to coax, and the thunder crowd screamed.

President David Stern smiled slightly, looked around at everyone in the scene, and raised his voice again:

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Bill Russell, 11 NBA all-time champion and Celtics legend, and let's pay tribute to the legend!"

"21 years and 271 days, I am very happy to be able to witness history again, and I am very honored to announce that the winner of the 2011~2012 Bill Russell Cup is Kayce-LI!"

Durant watched Bill Russell hand the small golden spherical trophy to Li Ze, and his heart suddenly became crazy with lemons, sour! Acid to death! His stats are clearly already able to win awards

"Great achievement, it's great to be able to continue to present you with awards this year, come on, Kayce, and hopefully I can see you again in future finals!"

Bill Russell handed over the trophy and sent blessings by the way, the old man was in good health, and applauded Li Ze by the way.

"Thank you for your blessings, I will continue to work hard!"

Looking at the small trophy in his hand, Li Ze smiled slightly, and then raised the trophy with one hand to facilitate the surrounding media reporters to take pictures, and a lot of cheers broke out in the American Airlines stadium, and many Chinese fans stayed at the scene.

"20 years, 258 days, 21 years, 271 days, it's unbelievable that Kayce has managed to break the record held by Magic Johnson, how do you feel at this moment?"

Hearing the host's question, Li Ze replied with a smile:

"The awards and records belong to the Thunder, thank you to my teammates and coaching staff, thank you to the passionate Russian city fans, we will continue to chase the championship, the future is ours!"

"Oh!"

The turtle and turtle jumped up and down with his teammates and screamed, the future belongs to them, although Durant lemon essence is possessed, but in the interview on the spot, he was very humble, and by the way, he also imagined the future, and the loan won three consecutive championships!

Everyone on the Thunder team began to take out their mobile phones and took photos with the trophy continuously, and in the final group photo, Li Ze sat in the C position with a smile again, and Durant and Turtle on the left and right sides smiled and raised two fingers.

The rest of the team's staff formed a circle, with David Stern and Bill Russell standing on the left and Brooks head coach and owner Bennett on the right.

Two consecutive championships, great achievements, everyone has a smile on their faces, and enjoying the moment is the most important thing!

The visiting locker room at the American Airlines Arena was once again filled with the smell of champagne, the winning game was grinning, and everyone on the Thunder team was celebrating wildly.

After getting the award, of course, you have to share it with others, Li Ze took two trophies and posed several times in the away team's locker room, so that when he returned to Russia, he could send out INS outfit X, which is a great time to advertise!

Losing the MMP, everyone on the Heat team didn't feel good when they thought that their opponent was opening champagne and celebrating wildly.

In the post-game press conference, Wade and Bosh both appeared a little silent, but LeBron James calmly answered questions in succession:

"Losing to the same opponent for two years in a row, LeBron, do you feel like the team's championship window is closed?"

Hearing the ESPN reporter's question, LeBron James, who was dressed in a gray suit, picked up the microphone and said in a calm tone:

"Of course not, we will continue to chase the championship, losing to the opponent for two years in a row, it shows that the team still has a lot to improve, basketball is five people, and in the offseason, we will make adjustments."

"Compared to the Thunder, we need shooters and big men, and I believe the management has seen the shortcomings in the roster, and in the offseason, I will work with the team to recruit some players, and next season, we will still be a strong contender for the championship."

Compared with last year's big defense and a warning of unsatisfactory life, this year's LeBron James is more mature.

Of course, it may also be a loss of hemp, but in the face of the reporter's difficult questions, the answer of the chosen son is not leaky.

The championship team's post-match press conference was of course peaceful, and the trio wore championship T-shirts and two trophies on the table, and accepted the fancy praise of the reporters, which made the three of them feel good.

However, in the end, the TNT reporter's inquiry instantly ruined the good mood of the three:

"Kayce, we've gotten the news that you haven't reached an early contract extension agreement with the Thunder yet, does that mean you're leaving the city this offseason?"

When Li Ze heard such a question, he cursed in his heart, but he still smiled on the surface:

"I'm glad everybody cares about my contract, but I want to say that I have one year left on my rookie contract, and I don't have the right to interfere with the selection of the team."

"I've had a great three years in Ohs, I've had the best fans in the league, I've got my teammates backing me, and time will tell when it comes to contracts."

Seeing that there were still reporters asking questions about the contract, the turtle on the side was not happy, and immediately said into the microphone:

“Next question!”

On the other side of the ocean, after the final award ceremony was broadcast by CCTV Sports, Li Ze's fans fell into a state of carnival, while James frantically complained about the management of the Heat team

Tiger pounces on the forum, and the news post at the top is that Li Ze once again broke the record of the youngest FMVP in the finals set by Magic Johnson.

Magic Johnson helped the Lakers win championships and FMVP in the 1979-80 season (20 years and 276 days) and the 1981-82 season (22 years and 298 days).

Li Ze led the Thunder team to the championship and won the FMVP in the 2010~2011 season (20 years and 258 days) and the 2011~2012 season (21 years and 271 days).

This time it was really unprecedented, on the same day, the tiger pounce completely became Ze pounce, and the blow was over!

"The first person in the league! There is no suspense about Li Ze, too good X, an average of 32 points per game in the finals, 180 clubs, who else is not convinced? ”

"Three times in a row! The Thunder team is a proper dynasty team, forgive me for not reading much, and I can only play one sentence Li Zeniu X! ”

"I feel a little sad when I think that Li Ze is not yet 22 years old, but this season has maintained 180 club data, I can only say Li Zeniu X!"

"I, Zhan, obviously performed very well, blame the Heat for the garbage management, none of the role players are reliable, hurry up next season to trade Bosh, change a few reliable role players, Pat Riley delayed my Zhan to win the championship!"

"Hehe, the Thunder team will disintegrate in the offseason, three super top salaries, the small ball market doesn't want to pay taxes at all, and the Crouching Tigers will directly trade Li Ze to assist the volute in the new season!"

"Get out! has been swept for two consecutive years, and he has come out to be a swana, Kobe Bryant should retire as soon as possible, how good it is to go home and take the baby with peace of mind! ”

"I really want to touch Li Ze's trophy! Hurry up and meet the fans, I bought both color sneakers, and it's best to have a championship commemorative model! ”

“.”

Li Ze, who won the award for two consecutive years and was in a good mood, threw money directly that night, and took everyone from the Thunder team to the Miami nightclub for overtime.

Li Ze leaned on the card seat to control the ball with both hands, casually took the wine glass handed over by the Latin sister next to him, and dried it directly in one breath, thinking of the experience bonus obtained by the championship badge, he couldn't help but smile in his heart:

"4 times the game experience bonus, the back brush will be over, the future will definitely be mine!"
