Curry ended up with a unanimous vote for the FMVP.

Although he lost to Durant in the regular season MVP competition, he ended up with a bigger gain.

After receiving the trophy from a trembling Russell, Curry couldn't help but cry.

It took more than a minute for Russell to tapped Curry on the shoulder and smiled kindly, that Curry controlled his emotions.

With a hint of husky voice, Curry delivered his acceptance speech.

"In 2009, I came to the Bay Area, in 2011, Klay came here, in 2012, Draymond came here, and then Iguodala and Wiggins, and they said, 'You can't win a championship with a jumper,' but it took us seven years to prove ourselves, and we didn't have any hair at the time, but today, we ended up being champions."

Curry reached out and touched his beard as he said this.

This scene made the fans in the Bay Area let out a deafening cheer, and at the same time, Xu Yong couldn't help but laugh.

Xu Yong has every reason to believe that Curry's beard is not just to make himself look more mature, but more like a kind of [beard Mingzhi].

And that sentence didn't have a pun, although it was short, but it was brilliant enough.

Xu Yong couldn't help but think of Curry in the space before he was reborn, three championships in five years, but the poor performance in the first championship period robbed Iguodala of FMVP, and then won 73 overall runners-up, and the last two championships were complained by fans that they hugged Durant's thighs, and when Durant left and failed to win the championship, the doubts came to the maximum.

If it weren't for that championship in 2022, Curry wouldn't have escaped being questioned for the rest of his life.

But now, in 2019, Curry has dismissed the doubts of the outside world ahead of schedule.

In particular, Curry's testimonial mentioned Thompson and Green.

In a sense, the Warriors' championship is the same as last season's Thunder, which is centered on the rookies cultivated by the team, and then selected some suitable rotation players to win the championship after years of perseverance.

So if you want Xu Yong to evaluate, whether the curry of the history before his rebirth is more respectable, or whether it is from this time and space, he can't evaluate it.

This may only be analysed by the fans.

The cheers at the scene also lasted for a long time, not only because of Curry's words, but also because this was their second championship after 44 years.

Wang Shi set the Central Plains Day in the north, and the family sacrifice did not forget to tell Naiweng.

This phrase is true for many Bay Area fans.

After sighing, Xu Yong was also a little excited for Curry, and he picked up the water in the cup on the table and took a sip with a dry mouth.

Just after Curry delivered his acceptance speech, Green on the side seemed to have something to say.

The host saw it and handed him the microphone.

"I want to say, after somebody leaves, we're the champions!"

Green's emotions were very emotional, and this sentence also sent the already boiling fans into a frenzy again.

Xu Yong was directly choked by the water he had just drunk and coughed.

Green, this guy is really big-mouthed, talking like this on this occasion, this cliff will be on the top of the hot search after the game.

But think about Green's character like this, he will never let you go if he seizes the opportunity.

James doesn't know if he's watching the finals at this time, but if he does, he will probably instinctively pop up in his mind at this moment: why always me? (Why it's always me)

Before he left the Heat, the Heat won the championship, and the Haslem Formula 2.0 was born, and now, Green has reminded fans of that phrase.

Xu Yong is also difficult to collapse for a while.

So [signing James and then trading him] is the new championship formula?

After watching the finals, Xu Yong cleaned up, and then drove to the stadium to practice.

Leading the team to the Western Conference finals wasn't his goal, and his only goal in Dallas was to help the Mavericks regain a championship.

When he came out of practice, he saw Nelson Jr. standing in the doorway.

"Wait for a coffee in my office?" Little Nelson smiled and extended an invitation to him.

Xu Yong nodded, it was not a coincidence that little Nelson would appear here, but he came to him on purpose.

Unlike Foreman's Chinese face, Nelson Jr. has a chubby face that is round and glossy, similar to his father Nelson Sr.

However, Xu Yong has a very good impression of him, even better than Foreman.

Because Nelson Jr. is an authentic China expert, even the kind that is very fanatical about Chinese culture.

Xu Yong had been invited to his home before, where he saw a lot of things that represented Chinese culture, Chinese knots and other things were just the tip of the iceberg, and he even saw a water mill in his yard.

David West grew up with a strong interest in Chinese culture, but Nelson Jr. was interested in Chinese culture since he was a child, which not only prompted him to go to China many times, but also made him an assistant coach of the Chinese men's basketball team in 2008.

At that time, there was one thing that impressed Xu Yong, who was already in the national team at that time, that is, Nelson Jr.'s daughter was seriously ill during the Olympics, but Nelson Jr. still chose to stay and hurried back after the Olympics.

His Chinese plot even affected his father, Nelson Sr.

You can even say that the Mavericks' previous series of Chinese episodes, such as the signing of Wang Zhizhi and Yi Jianlian, etc., were all caused by Nelson Jr.

When Xu Yong finished taking a shower and arrived at the office, little Nelson was already there making tea and waiting for him.

Well, Jokic's relationship with Nelson Jr. shouldn't be bad either.

After drinking tea and chatting a few words about homely things, little Nelson went straight to the point.

"We want to know your opinion, about Demar."

Nelson Jr. was more cautious when he said it, after all, DeRozan and Xu Yong had that level of college teammates.

"We have a lot of respect for Demar, otherwise we wouldn't have chosen him in the first place, but his performance after arriving here really didn't meet expectations, I believe it's not a problem of his ability, it's just a matter of adaptability, we want to help you find a more suitable helper."

Xu Yong looked at Little Nelson.

Nelson Jr. was tactful, and there was nothing wrong with it from the management's point of view.

DeRozan has been inconsistent in the regular season, has a poor playoff performance, and has salary space at the top salary.

You must know that Jokic will also start to have a maximum salary next season, and Xu Yong's contract renewal will also be a maximum salary, three maximum salaries, and the reinforcement of role players is very limited.

In this case, trading DeRozan for a few rotation-caliber players is obviously a better option.

"While that means we might have to pay for the first round picks in the next few years, I think it's more important than that, not to waste your prime." Seeing that Xu Yong didn't speak, Little Nelson then added.

Xu Yong nodded, but then shook his head again.

The nod is in recognition of what Nelson Jr. said, compared to the previous Bulls' handling of Rose, which is similar to the first cut and then the prelude, the Mavericks management's approach can be said to have given him enough respect.

Shaking his head, he didn't think it was a viable option, at least not yet.

"Donnie, I'm not the kind of guy who has to change teammates if they don't play well in one season." Xu Yong said very seriously.

Little Nelson was stunned for a moment, then finally nodded.

The management's goal is bound to build a better lineup, but if Xu Yong insists on trying again, they will also respect Xu Yong's choice.

After all, compared to Xu Yong, no one else is actually that important.

……

"You mean, you want to trade a young player for a star player?" Pelinka, the general manager of the Lakers, looked at James and opened his mouth to confirm.

'We have too many young players and I need real helpers to play a record. James nodded in confirmation, because of his close relationship with Pelinka, he said a lot of things directly, without beating around the bush.

"You know, I'm 35 years old and I don't want to waste my last pinnacle." Probably afraid that Pelinka would not agree, James immediately added that last season was the first time he missed the playoffs since the 2005~2006 season.

Pelinka became serious when she heard this.

James has been fighting against Xu Yong all these years, and people instinctively feel that they are the same age, but in fact, James is 6 years older than Xu Yong.

The 29-year-old Xu Yong is still at the peak of his career, and the 35-year-old James has not made the playoffs, but it is unique in history that he can maintain such efficiency.

"So, who is the right helper?" Pelinka asked after a moment of thought.

"Inside." From Wade to Paul to the Splash Brothers, he's a little tired of the ball disputes that come with working with star players on the perimeter.

"A star interior player who has the ability to score and is excellent defensively." He went on to add.

Pelinka frowned when she heard this.

James: This is not a simple requirement, but it is also quite difficult to operate.

After all, an interior player with offensive ability has to be a star interior player who integrates offense and defense, and there are only a handful in the league.

Griffin of the Clippers, Towns of the Timberwolves, Embiid of the Digital Man, Antetokounmpo of the Raptors, even if you count Aldridge of the Bulls and Horford of the Celtics, there are just a few.

But no matter which one it is, it is not something they can easily get.

Oh, and Howard, Love, and Davis, but those are James' former teammates and shouldn't be out of range.

"I'll let Richie figure it out, as long as you can cooperate with me when the time comes." Seeing Pelinka's expression, James simply said directly.

Pelinka was stunned for a moment, but nodded with a smile.

He is an agent, the general manager of the Lakers who took office in 2017 by virtue of his relationship with Kobe, and he also became a position after a secret battle with "Magic" Johnson, and there are many doubts.

It wasn't until he succeeded in bringing in James that the Lakers had a new façade that the doubts dissipated.

Although James is not as strong as before in all aspects, the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, and it is always better than the rookie.

As for rebuilding like he did when he cultivated Kobe, that's not what his influence should do, if he really has to do that, he has already been fired before a player grows up.

In other words, he doesn't care about the future of the Lakers, he only cares about his own interests, which is the way he thinks when he comes from an agent.

That's why he and James were able to pee in the same pot.

……

After the second episode of the conversation with Nelson Jr., Xu Yong brought DeRozan to train with him.

Now that he's backed up DeRozan in front of Nelson Jr., he has to make DeRozan stronger next season.

He really didn't believe it, DeRozan was a man when he fought with the Bulls.

As for DeRozan, Xu Yong knows more about him, DeRozan is the passive type, and he wants to whip him with a whip.

DeRozan has lost his father, he has lost his lover, and he has nothing left to lose.

It was at this time that they were training that the 2019 NBA Draft came to an end in Brooklyn.

This year's No. 1 pick belongs to the Pelicans, and after Westbrook's departure, the team focused on developing Simmons, who played 23+8+8 all-around stats and became the cornerstone of the team's future construction.

Of course, the price is that the Pelicans' record swooped into the lotto, and "lucky" won the top pick.

It was also Tatum's first visit to the city of New Orleans since taking office.

The Pelicans ultimately opted to make a deal with the Grizzlies, who have the No. 1 pick, and give them the No. 1 pick for the No. 1 pick and a protected future first-round pick.

The Grizzlies used this pick to pick up the most popular Zayn Williamson.

"After missing Xu back then, we won't miss Williamson again this time." There were Grizzlies fans cheering on social media.

William is the existence of stepping on Nike stock for $1.3 billion, and he has dominated the top spot in the draft prediction for 12 consecutive months, and even [LOGO] West has this comment: "You can't miss Caine, it's like you can't miss Jordan in the draft." ”

And the Pelicans' trade is also a bit helpless, because Williamson and Simmons' playing styles overlap very much.

Although Williams seems to be a lot taller than Simmons in terms of talent, it is impossible for them to give Simmons away from the newly cultivated Simmons.

And they've also got their eye on another talented outside player, NCAA Point Guard of the Year, Bob Cousey Award winner and the first player to average 20 points and 10 assists per game since the NCAA had assists in 1980.

This inside-outside partnership is the best model for rebuilding.

Jalen Smith, the two five-star high school students who were coached by Xu Yong before, chose to play for another year, and Cam Reddish ran this year.

In the end, Reddish was selected by the Lakers with the 10th pick.

Don't ask why the Lakers have such a high lottery pick, just why the Lakers rookies don't play well.

Then when he learned about the Mavericks' first-round selection, Xu Yong was subconsciously stunned.

Because the Mavericks picked Jordan Pu'er with the 27th pick in the first round!

This order, this choice, it is ...... It's normal.

In the history before Xu Yong's rebirth, Pu'er was taken away by the Warriors with the 28th pick.

With the retirement of Barria and Harris of the Mavericks, they are now short of guards on the bench, so it makes perfect sense to choose Pu'er.

Then, just after the free market opened, Nelson Jr. mysteriously told him that an old acquaintance was coming to Dallas.

By the time Xu Yong was halfway through his training on this day, the old acquaintance in Nelson's mouth had already come to the door of the training hall.

Dusty, but radiant.

Xu Yong was also stunned for a moment when he saw him, and then he felt an indescribable excitement, and went up and gave the other party a big bear hug.

At this time, only Rose's arrival can make him so excited!

"Why are you here?" After sitting down, Xu Yong couldn't hold back and took Rose's hand and started talking.

Rose's arrival did come as a bit of a surprise to him, because Rose only returned to the Bulls last season, and although he signed a one-year salary, he played well.

"They don't need me anymore." Rose's answer sounded breezy, but Xu Yong could hear the bitterness in it.

Xu Yong was puzzled.

"They need to give Dejounte room to grow, and that's a newcomer with a lot of potential." Rose said with a smile.

Murray, he forgot about Murray.

Indeed, with Beverley and Murray, the Bulls' point guard is already redundant, and it doesn't make much sense to keep Rose as the third point guard, and separating is a better option.

"It's great that you're here." Xu Yong held Rose's hand and didn't let go.

Not just because of their relationship, but also because of the thing they once dreamed of on the balcony.

They also have a dream of fulfilling the dynasty together.
