Chapter 269 Offseason

Winners and losers, losers have no mercy, No.2 is the biggest failure, not to mention being shaved bald by the Rockets in the finals, if the Magic generals knew this result, they would have fought hard against the Celtics for 7 games Well?Wouldn't it be best to pack up your bags early and go home to rest?
It is a great honor for others to reach the finals. Even if they do not win the championship in the end, they can still proudly tell their friends, relatives or their descendants, thinking that your father and I made it to the finals back then, touch After passing the floor of the finals, it was just that they were unlucky when they played against the xxx team, and they won the victory in the end, but the Magic generals were not at all embarrassed to talk about their finals experience with others.

Talking about it should be so round?I was swept 4-0, I fell behind by a big score in every game, and I was always beaten by others, how should I brag about this wave?If they can't even blow it, why do they need this finals experience?Can it still be eaten?

The home fans in the Amway Arena suddenly left sparsely. No one wants to win the championship in other teams at home, let alone watch this scene all the time. Although they are very disappointed with their home team, they are relatives and enemies. Magic fans still can't do fast things, but they are true Orlando fans.

But after the podium was set up, the Rockets did not completely face the empty arena. Some Totoro fans living in Orlando and Rockets fans who dared to come all the way from Houston chose to stay until the end. They burst into loud cheers as they emerged from the locker room wearing new caps and practice uniforms.

David Stern took out the O'Brien Cup, which symbolizes the league's highest honor, and handed it to Battier who came to receive the trophy. Although Totoro is the core of the team, he is not the captain of the team. Although Totoro He had been in the regular season for a few weeks and had fun, but he quickly pushed the captain to someone else because he thought it was troublesome.

The trophy is passed in the hands of the Rockets players in turn, and finally held up by everyone. This is not an honor for a certain person, but the result of everyone's hard work!

Then David Stern announced the selection of fmvp. This award is decided by a group vote. The group is composed of 9 members of the media. No matter whether there are 9 reporters or 90 reporters, there is no doubt about the ownership of this award. Totoro’s points, assists, blocks and steals are all the highest in the team. Carry, whether it is scoring or defending, if you look at those high-level statistics, the efficiency may not be the best for Totoro, because the countless strikes at the beginning of the fourth game dragged him back, but the net difference and the use of the ball Chinchilla is the king of the team in terms of rate and score conversion rate. No one is eligible to win this year's Bill Russell NBA Finals MVP trophy except Totoro.

"Thank you everyone, thank you for the University of Southern California who cultivated me, thank you for the Houston Rockets who chose me, thank you for the fans and fans who supported me, thank you"

After receiving the trophy, all the words that Totoro made was self-expression. At the beginning, Totoro didn’t know what to say, so he had to follow the Chinese way of winning prizes, first thanking those who can thank them over and over again. Time, so that my brain can quickly think about what to say next.

"This bastard!"

In a villa in Houston, the harem of Totoro gathered in the living room to watch the Rockets’ award-winning live broadcast. The women were in harmony. Everyone hugged each other and gave each other a sip from time to time. It can be said that the whole room was filled with orange. Tangerine smell of corruption.

Seeing Totoro's speech, Bugay couldn't help pinching the plastic drink package to make a petite five-finger print. Her abnormality made Taylor Swift who was sitting next to her feel a little strange. He gently hugged her and asked. .

"What's the matter, dear?"

"That bastard actually threw away the draft of my acceptance speech that I worked so hard to give him all night. Look at what he's talking nonsense over there now!"

Bugayi complained here, and several girls in the hall suddenly laughed and turned back and forth.

"My dear, don't be angry. Totoro, this stinky boy, dares not respect your labor success. We will help you vent your anger when he comes back! Then let him kneel on the washboard for two hours!"

Taylor Swift is a bit of a big sister, but several other girls have put forward their own small suggestions.

"How about the washboard? If you want to kneel, you must also kneel on the keyboard!"

"How about the keyboard? If you want to kneel, you must also kneel the mouse!"

"I said, let him kneel down on the durian!"

"Wow, little sister, you are so cruel."

A few women were chattering over there about how to abuse Totoro. He didn't know about it. In fact, even if Totoro heard it now, he wouldn't care too much. His current worth is estimated to be that of those women in his harem. They are bound together and have to turn over a few somersaults, which is the most critical factor for him to maintain his prestige at home. Besides, there are so many people on the other side, he ran outside and hid for a few days. They are usually very busy, and it is rare for them to get together when they are free. When their strength is dispersed, Chinchilla will not be afraid.

On the podium, Totoro thanked all the people he could think of and thanked. However, he has not thought of any nutritious speech. As the most valuable player of the championship, there is still time for his acceptance speech It's limited, and I have to talk about it for at least 1 minute.

"Although I was born in a family in a wealthy area of ​​Los Angeles, my parents left me for some unknown reason."

Seeing that he couldn't think of anything else, Totoro simply put his mind to one side, and let's talk about his true feelings.

"I lived alone in high school, learned to cook by myself, learned to wash clothes by myself, and passed the driver's license test by myself, but these are not reasons for me to hate my parents. The scene, so that I can personally witness the moment of my achievement."

The few fans and Rockets at the scene applauded. The outside world is not very clear about Totoro’s family affairs. They only know that he seems to be an orphan. Now hearing Totoro’s emotional words, their inner sympathy is even stronger. stand up.

This kid doesn't know how much suffering he has suffered. He climbed to the top of the nba relying on his own strength. He must have encountered a lot of setbacks.

"I will find time to go back to my motherland this summer. I can have the current status. The support of Chinese fans is indispensable. Since my relatives are not by my side now, I will join the fans who support me. Share my honor!"

My Neighbor Totoro raised his trophy vigorously, and there was thunderous applause and screams immediately. I don't know how many young girls in front of the TV were caught by Totoro's three-point sadness, three-point nostalgia, and four-point strong smile They were so moved that they cried. They all hugged the Totoro dolls and Totoro posters they bought from outside, hoping to warm the unhappy animal with their own body temperature.

The moment Orlando won the O'Brien Cup, the mission of the Rockets this season was successfully concluded. First, everyone took a chartered plane and returned to Houston together. The Houston Rockets officials have long coordinated with the city government to hold a grand championship parade. The security force and parade route have already been planned in the early stage.

But it’s useless even if they are arranging a hundred secrets. The hidden violence factor of American blood is something that other races who have never experienced it can’t understand. The happy things are too exciting, so smashing, looting and burning is their way to vent their emotions.

The parade lasted more than 3 hours. All Rockets players, including Yao Ming, sat on a big float and waved to the fans on the side of the road. Several reporters who were interviewed by the Houston media in real time said that they had I have been waiting here for the Rockets for three hours. Although there is only one minute for the car to pass by, if the Rockets can win the championship next year, they are still willing to wait here for another three hours.

"We will still be champions next year!"

"We're going to create a dynasty!"

"We are the invincible team in the universe!"

Totoro no longer made any boring and lengthy speeches to the crowd. He casually raised his hand and shouted slogans to express his determination. Those Houston players became excited as if they had taken drugs. With a face full of shame, seeing these big bosses with red faces and red ears, his little heart jumped wildly. If he made a long speech with sincere words, would these crazy Yankees rush up excitedly and tear him apart? in half?
The result of the parade was also unsatisfactory. After the parade, over-excited fans took to the streets. On that day in Houston, four Japanese cars were smashed, two places caught fire, and five or six fans were injured. There is a child missing. My Neighbor Totoro just doesn’t understand these crooked nuts. Why must I use violence to express my excitement?
The holiday is over, and the Rockets players have a long vacation. The NBA players have been playing games and training for a year. After careful calculation, it is only June. July and August can take a little rest. After September, they will return to prepare for the game one after another. Preseason, and then it will be the start of a new season.

Even Kobe, who is the most demanding of himself, will spend a month during the holidays to relax himself, not to mention other players in the league, but one of them is a special case, and that is the Rockets' core Totoro.

People say that the rich will live the life of the rich, and the poor will live the life of the poor. The reason why the poor can’t live the life of the rich is because they have no money. But Totoro is already very rich now, but he still doesn’t care. Happy to travel all over the world.

If you have this time to stay on the plane, why not lie down in your own three-acre land, usually play games, do warm-up training, play with the girls in the game, just like that, one day goes by, running all over the world Why, these people are probably full, and they are squatting at home!
Itan Lavin, a member of Totoro's professional trainer team, expressed surprise at this. He has worked with too many big-name NBA stars, but he has never seen a star who can compete with Totoro in terms of effort. During the summer offseason, they were able to stay in Houston to exercise without traveling. Totoro’s success was not accidental. Other NBA stars squandered their talents in sensuality. Occasionally, there are some dedicated players. I will end my vacation ahead of time and take some time to maintain my state. However, players who are still trying to improve their physical talents like Totoro are not relaxed after becoming famous. They are definitely a minority among the few. Giving makes him eligible to receive all honors!
However, Totoro doesn't feel how great he is, he's just a pure otaku, he lets those trainers continue to help him exercise when he's idle at home and has nothing to do, that's all.

In the morning he will do a few sets of strength training and physical training, and in the afternoon it is time for actual combat. Those who can become trainers in the NBA are naturally good players in basketball. Their skills are comparable to the starting players in the NBA. But most of them are more than enough to be the patron saint of drinking fountains in the NBA. Totoro will often let them defend themselves with 4 or 5, treat them as opponents, and then polish all their skills. Totoro As a person who drove to the pinnacle of his life, he is theoretically a man who has mastered all basketball skills.

But those are all systematic, not his own. In the first season, he just turned three-pointers, mid-range shots, dribbles, breakthroughs, layups and dunks into his own through acquired training. , but in addition to these, he still has a lot of training that needs to be trained. Post-up skills, inside footsteps, turnaround jump shots, close-range shots, hooks, breakthrough points, and passing are all things that he needs to improve. After having the system, Totoro doesn't know where his upper limit is, but what he knows is that he has to keep climbing up. He wants to go to the top of this road to see when his skills and body have reached At his peak, what kind of jaw-dropping achievements could he achieve in the NBA?

The summer offseason is actually not long, nor is it short. For those stars who are on vacation, it seems that they have not relaxed much time, but for Totoro, who has been working hard For hardworking talents, the time is very fulfilling.

In a short while, it will be the annual draft. All members of the Rockets are on vacation, but apart from the diligent Totoro, there is one person in the Rockets who is not idle in the summer, and that is the general manager of the Rockets, Daryl Morey. The market and rookies have always been the stage for them to struggle. How to renew the contract with players and how to trade new players to strengthen them all depends on whether the general manager can rejuvenate.
