Chapter 279 The Joy of San Antonio

There was noise everywhere in the wine, crowded with celebrating fans, and fireworks had been set off outside the SBC Center Arena. San Antonio had been looking forward to this championship for a long time. After getting what they wanted, the people of San Antonio had no sleep tonight.

The camera returns to the SBC center arena again, and after returning to the locker room for a brief shower, of course, the players have held their own celebration ceremony inside, Van Exel and Michael Finley have already said excitedly Speechless, he let the tears drip down his cheeks.

Everyone understands their feelings very well. Their desire for the championship is unmatched by the whole team. In addition, Oberto and Stephen, who entered the team for the first time, also received congratulations from their teammates. As for Duncan, Tony Parker, they have calmed down from the excitement.

Popovich, who never dared to break ground on the head of a tiger, was also teased by the players. He was sprayed with champagne all over his body, but he had already prepared a change of clothes, and when he went out, he had already recovered Well-dressed appearance.

Since it is the home court of the Spurs here, there is no need to worry about the fans, so the award ceremony was held directly on the stadium, and the table and related preparations for the award were prepared early in the morning, and David Stern was also ready. Standing in front of the stage.

The interviews with the players ended quickly, and everyone gathered around the podium. David Stern firstly praised the efforts of the Miami Heat, and then announced that this year's championship belongs to the great and glorious San Antonio Spurs Team.

The owner of the Spurs, Holt, stood next to him and took over this extraordinary O'Brien Cup from David Stern. The curse of defending and winning the championship in even-numbered years, Holt said this humorously, and the fans cheered and encouraged the team.

Holt is one of the poorest owners in the league, but he is also the most successful owner. Although it is a relatively young team, the Spurs are already one of the strongest players in the league, winning championships every year All these achievements are inseparable from his dedication and support to Popovich.

He doesn't like to show his face, and he rarely even watches the games. He gives all the opportunities to show his face to his two partners, and is at ease with his own excavator and bulldozer business, not like other bosses who like to come out Showing off himself, his life is extremely low-key, and anyone who talks about the Spurs will think of Popovich, not his boss.

In fact, Holt was not the largest shareholder of the Spurs at first. When he took over the Spurs from the richest man in San Antonio, McKempo, Holt was only a minority shareholder of the buyer. Popovich and his former boss, General McGrady is the largest shareholder.

The second shareholder is the Garred family from Oklahoma. Their sole purpose of buying the Spurs is to move the Spurs to Oklahoma. After buying the Spurs, McGrady has been worried about Garred. The family acquired the shares of other minority shareholders and moved the Spurs away after surpassing itself, so he introduced another big family, the Maruf brothers, who planned to sell the team to the Maruf brothers.

Because the money in his hand belongs to a military insurance fund, he cannot keep the ownership of the team. Compared with the Gared family, the Maruf brothers promised not to move the team, but at this time Holt appeared, and he It turned out that he was not one of the shareholders, but a loyal customer of the Spurs.

He was very worried that if the team fell into the hands of outsiders, even if they were not moved away, they would have no love for the team and would only treat the ball as a cash cow in order to prevent the Spurs from falling into their hands. , Holt mortgaged all his assets to the bank, and then borrowed a large sum of money from other people to join the acquisition war.

McGrady sold his own stake, and after the Garred family felt that the San Antonio people were not easy to mess with, they also sold their shares to Holt, retaining only a small amount of shares, and the Maruf brothers saw the purchase of the Spurs. After the team failed, he set his sights on the Sacramento Kings, so that Holt became the big boss of the Spurs.

The Garrett family did not give up, especially seeing the hot market after the New Orleans Hornets moved their home court to Oklahoma due to the hurricane, and they were even more excited. They are now in the process of acquiring the Seattle SuperSonics , Since the team's transaction requires the approval of all the owners of the league, they asked Holt to be their lobbyist to persuade other owners to agree

When he didn't buy the Spurs, Holt held the Spurs' season tickets for a long time, but after the acquisition of the Spurs, Holt rarely appeared on the court, but for the love and attention of the team, he Not less than others, he was also very excited and excited about the team being able to win this championship.

After he finished speaking, he walked aside holding the trophy, and handed the microphone to Popovich. He must have exaggerated Popovich's achievements before, how many wins he won the earliest, what is the highest winning percentage in the active regular season, and the winning percentage in the playoffs. How high is the number and so on, in the face of these honors, Popovich seemed very calm. After taking the microphone, he also thanked the fans for their support, the players for their efforts, and his family for their support. .

After Popovich finished speaking, the staff had brought up another golden trophy. This is the Finals Most Valuable Player trophy. Unsurprisingly, the winner was Stephen. He averaged 32 points, 40.00 points and 40.00 points per game. Rebounds, 70.00 assists, [-] steals, [-] blocks, [-]% of one's three-pointers, [-]% of nine's field goals and [-]% of four's free throws won this award.

At the same time, Stephen is also the third player who won the Finals Most Valuable Player as the second-round pick and the second pick in the second-round draft. The first is Willis Reid, and there is also a second-round pick. Dennis Johnson, the [-]th pick in the round, also won this award.

Of course, there is also a third-round pick, Moses Malone, who also won this award, but he participated in the aba draft, and even if Stephen's average data is compared in the long river of history, only Jordan, O'Neal, Duncan, Magic Johnson and others can be compared. Rounding up Stephen's assists, the only one who can get thirty plus seven plus five is the god-like flying man Jordan.

Although Duncan's average of 24 points, seventeen rebounds, five assists and five blocks per game, O'Neal's average of 38 points and sixteen rebounds per game, and Magic Johnson's average of 26 points, eight rebounds and thirteen assists per game are also abnormal. They are tough, but their lives are full of toughness that ordinary people can't imagine. It is also a very honorable thing for Stephen to be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with them.

And this is the first year of Stephen's career. Among those who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him, what are they doing in the first year of their careers?Except that Magic Johnson, like Stephen, won the Finals Most Valuable Player in the first year, Jordan is still struggling in the playoffs, and Duncan just pulled the team out of the lottery zone.

The scene of the glorious Stephen holding the Finals Most Valuable Player trophy was forever recorded in the annals of history. At the end of the awards ceremony, the Spurs announced that the team will hold a grand river cruise ceremony on the weekend of three days later, in San Antonio. The mayor also came to the scene to congratulate the Spurs on their achievements. This night, San Antonio was full of joy and sleepless because of the Spurs.

As the passion and throbbing of this kind of game has spread to all parts of the world along with TV, Internet and other media, many Spurs fans are moved and excited by it, especially the domestic side. Although Stephen is not Chinese, although the former There is also a Chinese who also won the championship ring with the Spurs, but the meaning is different.

Stephen's achievements are incomparable to everyone, even Yao Ming has to bow down in this respect, as a man in the first round of the playoffs, he immediately sent a congratulatory text message to Stephen, congratulating him on winning To the championship, congratulations to him for winning the Finals Most Valuable Player.

Even Yao Ming couldn't face up to Stephen's achievements. He was very worried that if he called Stephen, he would say those sour words. He was envious of Stephen's luck and Stephen's achievements. And envy.

While others are envious of their scenery, they have already fallen asleep. How much pain and sorrow are hidden behind the glory. Only the Spurs players themselves know that Duncan has been plagued by plantar fasciitis for a long time this season. A sports disease that doesn't stop a player from playing but can plague a player's performance for a long time.

Players who are heavier and exercise a lot are prone to this disease, as long as they have enough rest, they can recover, but Duncan, as the leader of the team, cannot rest for the sake of the championship. Due to Ginobili's style of play and long-term fatigue, minor injuries and illnesses all over his body also affected his state.

If it weren't for Stephen's sudden birth, two of the three core members of the Spurs have physical problems, and it is absolutely impossible to win the championship in this state, and only they know about several dangerous experiences, including against The fierce battle of the Mavericks and the complete confrontation of the Suns have brought the team's strength to the extreme. If it weren't for Stephen's performance in the finals, the Spurs would definitely lose this finals.

Stephen's 46 points, Stephen's ultra-luxury triple-double, without Stephen, the Spurs would never have won these two games, and the Finals Most Valuable Player was awarded to Stephen, without any controversy.
