against the front

Chapter 295 The Legend
The finals between the Kings and the Celtics is over, and when the game is over and the dust of the championship is settled, all the Kings players on the sidelines rushed into the field to celebrate wildly, whether they are still standing on the field Above, the Celtics players who were still sitting on the sidelines are extremely embarrassed now.

After experiencing too much force in the regular season last season, and because of injuries, after failing in the playoffs, the Celtics played dead in this season's regular season. The season actually lost more than a dozen games in one breath, and fell directly from the top power of the league to the middle of the Eastern Conference.

And Celtic's strategy of keeping a low profile has also successfully paralyzed his competitors. In this season's playoffs, the Celtics, which no one is optimistic about, suddenly broke out with a strong fighting power, all the way Eliminated the Cavaliers who ranked first in the regular season, and the Magic who ranked second in the regular season, thus advancing to the finals.

But this time, the Celtics did not repeat the miracle three years ago. After six games, they lost to the Kings, thus missing the O'Brien Cup.

"Is it really over like this?" Looking at the Kings players who were celebrating wildly not far away, Kevin Garnett, who was standing on the sidelines, still felt a little unwilling. Garnett is 34 years old this year. If there is an accident, this finals will probably be Garnett's last trip to the finals as the main player and core players, but Garnett's trip to the finals ended with such a result.

The Big Three are old. Although Rajon Rondo is rising strongly, Garnett knows very well that Rajon Rondo will never reach the heights of him, Pierce, and Ray Allen. This season, as the three of them are one year older, the Celtics' competitiveness and overall strength will also decline again.

And behind the Celtics, the Magic and the Cavaliers are always ready to completely step on their old guys. After learning from this year, the strategy used by the Celtics this year will be difficult to repeat next time. The effect has been received. Facing the younger Cavaliers and the younger Magic, the Celtics are really going to die this time!

Therefore, the era that belongs to them and their group of players is really over!

And at this moment, Garnett was not the only one who was unwilling, confused, and painful. Ray Allen and Pierce, who were standing beside Garnett, felt very similar to Garnett at this moment.

But there are exceptions. Just when these old players were still feeling melancholy because they lost the finals and the championship, Rajon Rondo, who came down from the court, was surrounded by his teammates not far away. Yan Hua, who was celebrating wildly in the middle, took a look, snorted fiercely, and walked directly into the player tunnel.

Unlike the old Big Three, Rajon Rondo is now in the prime of his life. At the age of 24, he has not even reached the peak of his career. There was some pain and self-blame, but Rondo didn't have the feeling of the Big Three. Instead, he worked hard in his heart and vowed to make a comeback next season, and then complete revenge on the king.

"Reggie, congratulations, you have finally got your wish, but next season, we will make a comeback."

No matter what the players under his command are thinking at the moment, and no matter how uncomfortable they are after losing the game, as the head coach, Doc Rivers still took the initiative to walk to the Kings bench, very "big" Degree" sent his blessings to Reggie Troyce.

"Thank you, Doug, and I look forward to seeing you next time."

Before the start of the finals, before the end of today's game, Reggie Toyce was not worried for a moment, especially after the Celtics pulled two games in an away game, Reggie Toyce was almost about to die. There is no one left, but now, when the whistle sounded for the end of the game, when the whole Kings team rushed into the court to celebrate wantonly, Reggie Troyes calmed down instead, and he was still very calm .

This is probably Reggie Troyce's sage moment.

. . . . . .

"Let us congratulate the Sacramento Kings, congratulations to them for finally harvesting the second championship trophy in team history after 49 years!"

After the entire Arco Arena became a sea of ​​joy, Bill Wharton and Jeff Van Gundy, who were on the sidelines, all stood up from their seats, applauding and sending blessings to the king. Although the Celtics' defeat is regrettable, the King's victory is also commendable.

"This is a very exciting round of finals. There are 6 games, each of which is a classic. Although few people are optimistic about the young kings before the start of the playoffs, they still pass their own efforts and perseverance. Let us congratulate the Sacramento Kings, and congratulate them for becoming the NBA champions in the 2009-2010 season!"

After celebrating wildly for more than ten minutes, taking advantage of the on-site staff preparing for the championship trophy awarding ceremony, the entire Kings team returned to the locker room one after another and put on their own championship coats. At the moment of the passage, the Arco Arena became a sea of ​​joy again.

"Congratulations, Joe, congratulations, Gavin, your dedication, your dedication, your long waiting and waiting, finally received the reward today, congratulations to your team, won the O'Brien Cup as they wished!"

"Of course, this will not be the last O'Brien Cup you will win. I believe this is just the beginning!"

"And today's moment will also be the most glorious and important day in the entire history of Sacramento basketball and sports. You and your team will forever be recorded in the annals of history and will be remembered by Sacramento and the entire North American sports world!"

Surrounded by the entire Kings team, the Kings’ owners, the Marouf brothers, were first pushed onto the podium by the players behind them. After David Stern’s impassioned award speech, the Marouf brothers left and right, Together they lifted the king's first championship trophy after they moved to Sacramento and became the team's owners.

"We are the champions! We are the champions!" After the Marouf brothers put down the trophy they held high, all the Kings players, including Reggie Toyce, Yan Hua, and Kevin Martin, formed a circle and put their respective Putting all his hands on the O'Brien Cup, he made various gestures and shouted frantically at the reporters frantically taking pictures in front of him.

And Yan Hua stood at the front of the team, holding the base of the trophy with his left hand, and stretched out a finger with his right hand towards the front. This scene was eternally frozen at this moment and became the greatest scene in the history of the king.

Just after the group photo was over, when all the players were vying for a photo with the O'Brien Cup alone, David Stern, who had just left the field, once again held a trophy one size smaller than the O'Brien Cup , stepped onto the podium, and behind David Stern was Bill Russell, who was responsible for presenting the MVP awards for the previous finals.

After Bill Russell and the Finals MVP trophy appeared, not only the Kings players who were vying for the O'Brien Cup, but also the fans in the entire Arco Arena fell silent at this moment, everyone's eyes , all gathered on the small trophy.

"Yan, congratulations. Throughout the series, you performed very well. In the face of adversity, you did not shrink back, and you took the courage to lead your team to the final victory, bringing 50 Sacramento people won the coveted O'Brien Cup."

"You are a great player and a great leader. Your performance in the finals perfectly fit the meaning of the finals MVP. You used your actual actions to interpret the lofty meaning of the finals MVP!"

"Congratulations, Yan, congratulations on becoming the MVP of the NBA Finals in the 2009-2010 season!"

When David Stern handed the finals MVP trophy in his arms to Bill Russell behind him, and walked up to the podium with a microphone, all the Kings players who were taking photos to celebrate , took a few steps back very actively, leaving Yan Hua, David Stern, and Bill Russell at the forefront.

Although the finals MVP candidate had not been announced before David Stern took the stage, everyone at the scene knew that Yan Hua was definitely the finals MVP, no matter in terms of team status or In the whole round of finals, Yan Hua deserved it.

"Yan, congratulations, I hope I will have the opportunity to present you with awards in the future!" After David Stern announced the results of the MVP selection for the finals and made a statement, David Stern stood The old man Bill Russell next to Stern, holding the Finals MVP trophy named after him, that is, the Bill Russell Cup, walked up to Yan Hua, and blessed him with kindness. Yan Hua said a few words.

"Thank you, Bill. One day, I will be a player just like you." In the eyes of almost all players, Bill Russell is a funny and kind senior, Yan Hua also No exception, so after hearing Russell's blessings and expectations, Yan Hua hugged Mr. Russell with a smile on his face.

When Yan Hua tremblingly received the finals MVP trophy from Bill Russell, for a while, Yan Hua was so excited that he didn't know what to say, and those speeches that had been planned for a long time were also at this moment. Was thrown out of the sky.

After feeling a slight push from behind him, Yan Hua looked back. David Stern was looking at Yan Hua with a smile on his face. Show it off.

After returning a grateful smile to David Stern, Yan Hua held up the Finals MVP trophy with both hands, and at the same time rotated his body to show the trophy to all the audience and fans in Arco Arena.

And when Yan Hua held up the Finals MVP trophy high, the entire Arco Arena burst into thunderous applause and cheers instantly.

Immediately, the shouts of MVP resounded in every corner of Arco Arena.

"Ding, congratulations to the host's team for winning the championship, and reward a milestone reward."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for winning the first fmvp trophy in his career, and a milestone reward."

Just when Yan Hua was holding the Finals MVP trophy high and was thinking about something in his head, a very familiar prompt sounded in Yan Hua's ear.

"Yan, congratulations, you are now the best player in this league, can you talk about how you feel now?" Net's live broadcast team rushed directly to the center of Staples Field and found Yan Hua, as the exclusive broadcaster of the finals, the post-match interviews were naturally monopolized by ABC.

"The best player? Bill, although we won the championship and I won the MVP, it doesn't mean that I am the best player in this league. Whether it is LeBron, Dwyane, or Kobe, they No worse than me."

"But becoming the best player in this league has always been my dream, so I will continue to work towards this goal!"

Paul Pierce’s rhetoric after the Celtics won the championship became a laughingstock at the time, so Yan Hua, who has learned from the past, did not shout at Bill Wharton like Pierce did, I am the best on earth For basketball players, this kind of words are very humble, like Bill Wharton, saying that he is not good enough now, and he still needs to continue to work hard.

It's not that Yan Hua doesn't want to be in the limelight, it's because of his strength that he doesn't allow it. If Yan Hua uses his personal strength like Chamberlain at the peak, and can play every game as he did in the fifth game of the finals, Yan Hua will definitely shout One voice: Who else!
But Yan Hua doesn't have that strength right now. After winning the championship, the king will inevitably become the target of public criticism and become the imaginary enemy and target of the entire league next season. Therefore, Yan Hua should keep a low profile and give less to himself and himself. Teams pull hate.

"Haha, Yan, you are too humble. Although you don't want to admit it, I still have to say that your performance is great. You played a legendary performance in this finals." See Yan After Hua didn't get carried away by winning the championship and FMVP, after Bill Walton nodded, he also praised Yan Hua's performance in the finals.

The last player who led the team to the finals and won the championship as an absolute core in the second season of entering the league was the legendary Spurs star Tim Duncan, who entered the league for 6 seasons He has become the legend of the number one power forward in NBA history, and in Bill Walton's view, Yan Hua's current performance is also a legend.
