696 cigars and champagne go better when they win(1/2)
When O'Neal saw Xiao Hua trying to award the award first, he was also stunned.
Then the words in his mouth changed directly: "I would like to invite the loyal followers of Lord of the Rings Bill Russell to present the award to Wang Yi."
Wang Yi is very disgusted with Xiao Hua's approach.
Chinese traditional culture is about respecting elders.
What's more, Bill Russell is such a legendary star.
As a result, Xiao Hua directly ignored Bill Russell as soon as he took office.
A trophy named after someone should naturally be awarded by someone else. Who the hell do you think Xiao Hua is?
He had the intention not to accept the trophy, but he earned it through his own ability, so why not?
But if so, where would we put the legendary superstar Bill Russell?
Then, Wang Yi had an idea in his mind.
After receiving the trophy, he said into the microphone:
"This is called the Bill Russell Cup. I think if he touches it himself, it will be equivalent to opening the trophy. From now on, everything will go well for me and I will be f MVP every year."
As he spoke, he came to Bill Russell holding the Bill Russell Cup in his hand.
Bill Russell is now old, his hair is gray, and he seems to be shaking even when he sits there.
But Wang Yi still handed the trophy to him: "Senior, help me consecrate it."
When Bill Russell heard this, a smile appeared on his dull face.
My good impression of Wang Yi doubled in my heart.
He stretched out his right hand and touched the trophy gently.
It was only then that Wang Yi raised the FMVP trophy with golden and silver lights flashing high.
His first heavyweight individual trophy in his NBA career!
At the American Airlines Center, at the place where the Big Three of James, Wade, Dragon King, and Bosh once fought.
Wang Yi holds the Bill Russell Cup high.
On top of the trophy is a basketball, shining with golden light.
Below is a round platform that is approximately cylindrical, with the shape of a basket net carved on it, shining with silver light.
In short, it can be summed up in one word: high-end and classy.
From top to bottom, it exudes a compelling aura of a king.
Finals Most Valuable Player, or FMVP for short!
Another mvp.
Wang Yi once won the MVP in the All-Star Game.
But in the final analysis, the All-Star Game is a performance, and the All-Star Game MVP is nothing.
Compared with the regular season mvp and finals mvp, it is just a few dimensions behind.
In the NBA, there are three most important awards for every player.
The first place is naturally the championship.
Countless players have struggled their entire lives to win the championship, and its importance is self-evident.
The second is the regular season mvp.
Winning this award means that among the leading stars of all 30 teams, you have the greatest impact on the team.
You can imagine how important this award is.
The third is fmvp.
How many players strive for a championship throughout their lives.
And how many of the players who won the championship can win MVP?
Every year, more than a dozen players win the championship, and only one of them produces FMVP. Winning this award means that you are the most handsome kid in the finals...
To evaluate a player's historical status, number of championships, number of MVPs and number of FMVPs are three hardware criteria.
Now Wang Yi finally won the championship and his first MVP.
But his ambitions are great.
How is one enough?
How is fmvp enough?
He wants two more, three, four, five...
Surpassing James, Kobe, and even the god of basketball!
Wang Yi's act of letting Bill Russell consecrate the trophy won the favor of countless fans. Even if they were not Wang Yi fans before, Wang Yi's performance in the finals has already made them admire Wang Yi. In addition, Wang Yi
Yi's performance in this game directly gained Wang Yi countless fans.
Next, Wang Yi held the MVP trophy, and several other players held the championship trophy. They all held cigars in their mouths and took photos in front of dozens or hundreds of media reporters.
This is called a victory cigar.
Originated from legendary NBA coach, Cardinal Auerbach.
Cardinal Auerbach loved smoking cigars.
Always when the team's game is about to end and the team's victory is determined, he lights a cigar and smokes it leisurely.
Later he led the Celtics to an unprecedented 8 consecutive championships.
During these eight consecutive championships, you can often see him sitting on the sidelines leisurely smoking a cigar.
Every time after winning the championship, there will be a big draw.
Therefore, many NBA teams have followed suit and must smoke cigars when winning the championship, even if they don't know how to smoke.
But now, in order to create a more positive image, the NBA no longer allows lighting of actual cigars on the spot.
So now every player just holds a cigar in his mouth and doesn't light it.
At the same time, in a villa halfway up the hillside in Los Angeles.
James watched the game in his home theater.
I just saw Wang Yi and the Kings players holding cigars and taking photos while holding the trophy.
He poured himself a glass of red wine and sipped it silently.
Next to him, his wife Savannah saw James's appearance and wanted to speak, but didn't.
She knew that James was definitely not feeling well right now.
What James wants to pursue is greatness.
His ambition from the beginning was not just a championship.
He wants to surpass Kobe and Jordan.
He seems to have surpassed Kobe.
But surpassing Jordan seemed hopeless by the time he retired.
To surpass Jordan, first of all, the number of championships is just two short.
Although he once said that the number of championships is not a criterion for measuring historical status, he also knows that it is just self-deception.
Isn’t playing basketball just about winning?
And isn’t the ultimate form of winning a championship?
Wouldn't it be ridiculous to say that the number of championships is not a measure of historical status.
He originally thought that even if he couldn't catch up with Jordan's number of championships before he retired, he would at least win five championships.
But now it seems that he is drifting away from his fifth championship trophy.
Even though he still has great ambitions and ambitions, time makes people grow old.
His physical condition is getting worse year by year, and his competitive condition is getting worse every year.
Time can transform him from a young boy into a mature man, giving him honors and the support of thousands of fans.
It can also transform him from a flying superstar to a veteran player on the court who can only rely on experience and touch to play.
Time, you are such a fucking bitch.
What made him even more speechless was that if Wang Yi was still with the Lakers this year, the championship would probably belong to the Lakers.
It ended up being fucked up by that stupid bitch Jenny Buss.
At the same time in Phoenix, in a mansion.
Veteran Paul looked at Wang Yi in the picture with endless loneliness and sadness in his eyes.
