I’m Really Playing Basketball

Chapter 346 The swan song of gods and kings!

On the court at the American West Arena, at this time, the Suns players, led by O'Neal, left the field unwillingly and painfully.

At this time, on the court of America West Arena, all the players of the Cleveland Cavaliers had put on their championship jerseys.

A gray round-neck shirt with the year 2005 written on it. The first zero is the golden ball from the championship O'Brien Cup, and underneath 2005 is the base of the O'Brien Cup and the Cavaliers' logo.

In addition, every Cavaliers player is also wearing the black Cleveland Cavaliers hat at this time, with the words NBA championship printed on the front of the hat.

For the Cavaliers players at this time, at this moment, they have forgotten everything about the previous game.

Everyone is celebrating without emotion and looking for their relatives and friends to celebrate together.

At this moment, Mercy Arena has completely become a paradise for the Cleveland Cavaliers to celebrate their championship.

Seeing these Cavaliers players spinning around, running, and jumping around on the court at this time, Barkley on the sidelines was really envious.

The finals are broadcast live every year. This is the most embarrassing thing for Barkley.

Especially this year, especially looking at the extremely young faces of the Cavaliers players celebrating on the court.

"For the NBA, this season's finals team is very unexpected. In the Cleveland Cavaliers, their two leaders, Wonder Boy is less than 23 years old, LeBron James is less than 21 years old, and Tyson Chandler LeBron James, Diaw, Mo Williams, Matt Barnes, Kyle Korver, Diop, Al Jefferson, they are also all born in the 1980s under the age of 25, and the three oldest players Raheem is under 30, and only Barry and Hardaway are over 30."

"I don't have specific data on which NBA team has the lowest average age when it wins the championship, but there is no doubt that this Cavaliers team is the youngest team I have ever seen win the championship."

"This group of young people, like Wonder Boy, is in the third year, and LeBron James and Diaw are in the second year. More than half of the players on this team have less than four years of NBA experience, and most of them still have NBA titles. Rookie contracts, but now, they have become championship players that many NBA players dream of!"

"They're lucky because they have an incredible leader!"

"And this is also their greatness. Together with that incredible leader, they have achieved greatness in the NBA!"

Barkley was so emotional at this time. Kenny Smith next to him could see that his partner was really broken by the Cavaliers.

Just like Barkley said, this team is too young!

Most of the players here have less than four years of NBA experience. Players like Tyson Chandler on this team who have four years of NBA experience are already considered veterans.

For the NBA, it is simply a miracle for such a young team to win the championship.

Maybe Magic and Duncan were not too old when they won their first championship, but just because they were not old does not mean that the Lakers and Spurs were not old at that time.

And this Cavaliers team is truly a youth army.

With such a young team, it can be said that they won the championship as soon as they entered the league.

A championship looks so easy for them.

But why is it so difficult for Barkley to win a championship.

Looking at the Cavaliers and thinking about himself, Barkley couldn't help but break the defense.

In fact, looking at this group of Cavaliers players celebrating wildly at this time, there were many people who broke the defense.

For example, Payton, who declined the invitation from the Cavaliers, gave up the chance to earn more money and win a championship to Barry.

For example, Crawford and Darius Miles are in front of the TV at this time.

Although it is very satisfying to hold a big contract at this time, watching my former teammates lift the NBA's highest trophy after I left, to be honest, if they are not sad, it must be fake.

Players are like this. When you have no money, you think about money. When you have money, you always think about the NBA championship.

Therefore, for Crawford and Darius Miles, these two former Cavaliers players, at this time, they really hope that like Tyson Chandler, they can enter the NBA a year later. , Finished his rookie career, won the championship with the team, and then faced the problem of a big contract.

They had to sign a second contract a year before the Cavaliers won the title, which hurts too much.

Look at Tyson Chandler and Diop. With these two championships, there will definitely be big contracts in the future.

Of course, in addition to these people, like Marshall who left the Cavaliers after scolding James before.

At this time, the Raptors' starting power forward felt very uncomfortable.

Marshall has been running around in the NBA for so many years, so of course he wants a championship.

When he left the Cavaliers, he left after angrily scolding James.

At that time, in his mind, it was impossible for the Cavaliers, a young team that relied heavily on young people, to succeed.

At that time, when he left, he not only scolded James, but also kept thinking in his heart that when he came back after winning the championship, he would scold Chen Xiao in front of him!

But now, more than a year has passed, and the two young people who used to make him very unhappy are now expensive for the NBA regular season MVP, and the Cleveland Cavaliers, which he once disdained, have now become the NBA championship team.

And he...

Although he had a good life with Nash in the Raptors, compared with the old players of the Cavaliers, he was far behind.

At the American West Arena, Chen Xiao, James and these players from the Cavaliers were the focus of everyone's attention.

And around the world, there are also a bunch of people like Crawford, Darius Miles and Marshall who are paying close attention to the Cavaliers and Chen Xiao.

For example, Rod Thorn, the general manager of the Nets, looked at Chen Xiao at this time. The old man still had deep melancholy and regret on his face.

When he traded Chen Xiao, he thought that his second NBA championship would come soon. However, Chen Xiao had already won his second championship, and his second championship was still the same. nowhere in sight.

At this moment, he really wanted to exchange all his 'wealth' for Chen Xiao.

If the Cavaliers are willing, if Chen Xiao is willing, any Nets player can be selected by the Cavaliers.

"As long as I can bring him back again, I will pay any price!"

Rodthorn finally made up his mind.

At this time, looking at Chen Xiao surrounded by Cavaliers players on the court, there were many people who were determined to get rid of Chen Xiao.

Not just in front of the TV, but also live.

Wade won't say it anymore. He wants to be a teammate with Chen Xiao. He is crazy about it.

Even Kobe, Kidd, Garnett and others who were also at the scene at this time were also thinking about this matter.

Other NBA general managers and teams have even reached crazy levels of desire for Chen Xiao.

"The finals are over, and the war for the Wonder Boy begins!"

"And this is a competition between 29 teams!"

Yes, it is not a competition between one or two teams, but a competition between 29 teams!

As far as Chen Xiao's performance in this playoffs and his contribution to the Cavaliers, whichever team he wants to go to, basically just some symbolic chips can be exchanged for it. If you have more chips, give more. If you have fewer chips, give less. Even if you have no chips, the Cavaliers will not stop you as long as Chen Xiao is willing.

Therefore, as long as Chen Xiao is willing, every team in the NBA has a chance to get Chen Xiao.

Therefore, at the moment the finals ended, the entire league became restless at this time.

As for the restlessness of the entire league, David Stern, as the president of the NBA, is naturally very clear.

It is no longer possible for the Cavaliers to keep Chen Xiao and James.

Just like the strongest guard combination of Chen Xiao and Kidd, the strongest striker combination of Chen Xiao and James is now coming to an end.

There is no such thing as a feast that lasts forever.

The two seasons the duo have had together have been great enough.

And this is indeed what he and the NBA need.

They have succeeded.

There is no need for them to be more successful together.

They all have their own best future.

"Congratulations, young man, you have had a great season, you deserve it, my young god and king!"

In the center of the court, when David Stern emotionally handed over the championship trophy, which symbolizes the NBA's highest honor, to Chen Xiao and James, the entire scene, the entire Cleveland, the entire New Jersey, the entire Milwaukee, and the entire China , all boiling at this moment!

As for Chen Xiao and James, who took over the championship trophy from David Stern, it was also difficult to conceal their excitement at this time.

For James, this is normal because it's his first time, because it's Cleveland's first time.

For Chen Xiao, this was his second time, but even if it was the second time, Chen Xiao still couldn't help himself.

"No matter how many times I win this trophy, I will be very excited!"

What's more, this time, he didn't hold the trophy under the protection of Boss Ji, this time, he was the one who walked in the front!

This time, it's different!

"Hahahaha, Xiao Chen, we are really the champions now!"

"Yes, we are really the championship now!"

Two years, James and Chen Xiao looked at each other, and they both had smiles on their faces.

After Chen Xiao and James received the championship trophy from David Stern on behalf of the Cavaliers, the entire scene fell back into a new celebration.

The Cavaliers players just celebrated without a championship trophy.

And now, they have the championship trophy in their hands.

For the Cavaliers players, this is the first time for everyone except Chen Xiao.

Under such circumstances, one can imagine their desire for a championship.

For example, when Penny Hardaway received the championship trophy from Chen Xiao and James, the handsome and elegant veteran couldn't help crying anymore.

I cried while holding the NBA championship trophy.

Crying very emotionally.

Chen Xiao and James knew that these were not tears of sadness, but tears of joy, excitement, and tears of satisfaction in life.

Seeing his idol Hardaway like this, James was applauding and constantly thanking him in his heart.

This is the championship!

This is the championship they dream of!

Without Xiao Chen, when would he be able to lead the Cleveland Cavaliers to a championship?

If there were no Xiao Chen, would he be like his idol Hardaway, who would not realize his dream until he was 32 years old?

James didn't know.

But James knows how lucky he was to have Chen Xiao's protection during the two most vulnerable years of his career.

He, LeBron James, is perhaps one of the luckiest men in the world.

"Chen, LeBron, thank you, this is the most wonderful moment of my life!"

Penny Hardaway may be one of the most emotional Cavaliers players at the moment.

Of course, although other Cavaliers players were not as emotional as Penny Hardaway when they touched the championship trophy that all NBA players dream of, they were still extremely excited.

After all, for many NBA players, although this championship is the first in their careers, it may also be the last in their careers.

Just like Penny Hardaway said, this is the best moment of his life.

These young people in the Cavaliers don't know yet, such a wonderful moment, maybe they thought there must be more wonderful moments in the future.

Only people like Penny Hardaway who have experienced prosperity and loneliness know that some beauty only belongs to players like Chen Xiao and James. For most NBA players, the wonderful moments in life will never be repeated.

Therefore, at this time, the mentality of these young players of the Cavaliers to win the championship is completely different from that of veterans such as Penny Hardaway, Barry and Raheem.

For these young players of the Cavaliers, this is the starting point of their ambitions!

They believe that their future is a sea of ​​stars!

They believe that their future will be even better!

For David Stern, the president of the NBA next to him, what they hope is the mentality of these young people.

If the players in the NBA have the mentality of Hardaway and his veterans, then the entire NBA will have problems.

"They will become the backbone of the NBA!"

Following the NBA championship trophy, David Stern followed the championship trophy and observed these young people one by one, and when the championship trophy returned to Chen Xiao and James again, David Stern Eun knows, he's handing out the biggest individual award of the night to one of these two.

Seeing the smile on David Stern's face, all the Cavaliers turned their attention to Chen Xiao and James.

At this time, Chen Xiao and James also handed over the championship trophy to Gund, the owner of the Cavaliers next to them.

Team owner Gund, team general manager Paxson, team head coach Carlisle, and assistant coach Mike Brown all looked at Chen Xiao and James.

In fact, these people are not the only ones at this time.

James' mother Gloria on the sidelines.

James' agent Goodwin on the sidelines.

Chen Xiao's agent, Fei Gen, was on the sidelines.

Teacher Zhang and Xiao Su on the sidelines.

Chinese audience in front of TV, American audience.

At this time, everyone who is still paying attention to this game is paying attention to the final suspense of the finals.

The attribution of the Finals MVP.

Before David Stern announced the ownership of the finals, the statistics of Chen Xiao and James's finals were already shown on TV.

When the audience in front of the TV saw the statistics of Chen Xiao and James in this finals, there were expressions of surprise on their faces.

Not to mention the audience in front of the TV, even many professionals, including Barkley and Kenny Smith who just got the average data of Chen Xiao and James at this time, were surprised.

"In G4 of the finals, Wonder Boy got a quadruple double, 7 of 8, 3 of 4 three-pointers, 3 of 3 free throws, 20 points, 15 rebounds, 15 assists, 11 blocks and 6 steals. This is not only the first in NBA history. The quadruple-double in the finals is also the first 5X5 in the playoffs in NBA history. In this game, Wonder Boy played an unprecedented game, a game that has never been played in NBA history."

Seriously, which one is more precious, 5x5 or four pairs?

Everyone has their own opinion on this.

In the regular season, the rarer thing is of course a quadruple-double.

Although 5x5 is rare, there are more than ten times, but four pairs are not so many.

But in the playoffs, quadruple-doubles are not as rare as 5x5.

Because Duncan had a quadruple-double in the 2003 playoffs.

Before this game, no player had played 5X5 in the NBA playoffs.

Therefore, there is actually no problem for Barkley to say this. Chen Xiao's quadruple double is not enough to make him unique. Duncan also played, but Chen Xiao's 5x5 is enough to make him unique.

What's more, this is still 5X5 with four doubles. Chen Xiao's data is probably second only to super magical data such as 100 points or five doubles in terms of preciousness.

"And Wonder Boy did not only play well in this game in this finals, but throughout the series, Wonder Boy played extremely well. He did not surpass him in any game. In the first game, he simulated Malone and scored 42 points and 9 points. 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, even better than Malone. In the second game, he simulated Reggie Miller. He made 7 of 11 three-pointers, 37 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals and 1 block. He was even better than Reggie Miller. Three games simulated Jordan, 45 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. The whole game showed the essence that even Jordan recognized. There were also quadruple-doubles and 5X5 in this game. In the entire finals, the wonder boy used four completely different games. His style of play shows his versatility."

"In this finals, Wonder Boy played the most versatile performance in history, and his finals data also shows this, averaging 36 points, 8.5 rebounds, 6.8 assists, 3 steals, and 3.8 blocks per game, shooting 63.8% from the field, and three-pointers. The shooting percentage is 62.5%, and the free throw shooting percentage is 77%, whether it is quantity, quality or efficiency, this is a perfect data!"

Before the MVP of the finals was announced, as the two commentators of TNT, Barkley and Kenny Smith were talking about Chen Xiao, but not James. The meaning was already obvious.

Although David Stern hasn't announced the result yet, as individuals or as TNT's commentator, they think Chen Xiao is the most likely one.

Of course, after introducing Chen Xiao's data at length, the two also introduced James' data.

"LeBron James also performed extremely well in this game. He made 18 of 38 shots, 5 of 17 three-pointers, and 9 of 12 free throws. He scored 50 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists in the game. , the 50 points in this game also made James the youngest player to score 50 points in the Finals in NBA history, one and a half months earlier than Wonder Boy."

"In the entire finals, except for the slightly inferior 14 points, 5 rebounds and 13 assists in G3, LeBron James also performed very well in the other three games. In the entire finals, LeBron James averaged 31.3 points and 5 assists per game. Rebounds, 11 assists, 1.5 steals and 1 block are also epic statistics."

"but!"

Barkley's but is very essential, because he just said it and didn't say it after that.

And the following words are obvious, that is, although James performed exceptionally well in the finals this time, it is a pity that his teammate is Chen Xiao.

Maybe James can win FMVP in any finals with this data, but not this time!

And almost at the moment when Barkley said no, when David Stern came out with the FMVP trophy, James, who was standing with Chen Xiao, took the initiative to take a step back, and then took the lead in applauding.

Seeing James like this, James' mother Gloria's face turned extremely ugly.

When the audience saw this scene of James, after being stunned for a moment, they all applauded along with James.

After James took the initiative to retreat, and after David Stern saw the gratified smile on James' face after taking the initiative to retreat, everyone knew what the result of the FMVP of the finals was like.

"The winner of the 2004-2005 NBA Finals MVP is!"

"Xiao!"

"List!"

When David Stern called out Chen Xiao's name in a cadenced and excited voice, at this moment, Teacher Zhang and Xiao Su on the sidelines all jumped up excitedly and raised their excited hands high.

"FMVP, MVP, AMVP! Congratulations to Chen Xiao, he completed the three MVP Grand Slams in the NBA this season!"

"Congratulations to Chen Xiao, now he will officially reach the top of the NBA and become the first player in the NBA!"

"On this night, Chen Xiao became the brightest and biggest star in the United States and the NBA!"

In the center of the court, Chen Xiao deservedly received the revised FMVP trophy from David Stern, with a confident and emotional smile on his face.

The sound of clicking continued, and under the spotlight, Chen Xiao walked up to James.

"Little Zhan."

"Little Chen."

"Do you know what I'm going to give you now?"

"Know."

The two looked at each other, smiled at each other, and then Chen Xiao hugged James tightly, and James hugged Chen Xiao equally tightly.

"Xiao Zhan, this championship is just your starting point, the future is yours."

The future is yours, this is what James likes to hear most.

He has collected this sentence from almost all the famous seniors in the NBA.

And now, the person who meant the most to him said the words that meant the most to him.

Xiao Zhan was extremely excited.

"I won't let you down, I will work hard to be your future!"

"I know you've never let me down."

Looking at the emotional Chen Xiao and James, the Cleveland media, players, and even the Cavaliers fans on the TV, were moved and moved at the same time.

they know.

"This is the farewell of God and King."

"This is also the swan song of God and King!"
