legendary point guard

Chapter 342 The offseason is about to start

"Finals MVP? Are you sure you're not joking?" Lin Sen looked at the staff.

"Of course, I won't lie to you. This is the honor you deserve. Pack up and get ready to receive the award." The staff patted Lin Sen on the back and turned to leave.

"Finals mvp? mvp... consolation prize?" Lin Sen muttered and walked to the sidelines.

Carolina and the others looked at Lin Sen with his head lowered and had the same mood. Although they knew they were losing like most people, they still felt so uncomfortable when this scene came, especially when they looked at Lin Sen.

It was even more painful when I attacked the Spurs defense without hesitation again and again.

"Everything is over, everything that belongs to this season is over. 1,189 regular season games, 72 playoff games, and a season that belongs to 441 players is over. The San Antonio Spurs had the last laugh. They became the king of kings. Let us thank the Spurs.

Thank you to the Orlando Magic and all the players for giving us a wonderful season." Kenny Smith said while looking at the staff on the field who were building the championship podium.

The entire AT&T Center became a sea of ​​joy. Colorful ribbons flying freely in the sky fell on Lin Sen's body and head, but all the Magic teammates had left.

"This is the end of the 2006-2007 season. We will have a summer break and look forward to the start of the new season again. I think although the season is over, the memories left to us will never fade away. The Orlando Magic lost the game 3:4 but

They are still worthy of pride, because they have never been favored but have never disappointed those who expected them. Let us remember this group of young teams destined to become powerful in the future. Bless them." Barkley continued, despite Lin Sen's loneliness

It made him feel a little bad.

Lin Sen did not leave but kept standing on the sidelines in his uniform. Carolina and the others did not disturb Lin Sen but waited quietly.

The field was full of signs of crazy celebrations by Spurs players. When the Spurs players wearing championship T-sleeves and Spurs baseball caps came out of the tunnel, Lin Sen smiled faintly: "One day I will stand there too.

There."

Most of the people at the scene were Spurs, and only a few people, such as Lin Sen and Lin Sen's support team, were outsiders.

The spotlight was on the entire Spurs team in the center of the field, and the already hoarse voice of the DJ at the AT&T Center spread through the speakers to every corner of the field.

"Ladies and gentlemen, at this moment, please focus your attention on the center of the court. Let us pay attention to the awarding ceremony of the Larry O'Brien Cup in the 2006-2007 season. This is the supreme honor that belongs to our San Antonio Spurs. Let us

Let’s welcome the glorious moment together.”

With the fans cheering wildly, tnt reporter Blue Water stood in the center of the podium with a microphone, and next to him was David Stern, a white-haired man with a smile on his face.

"Thank you very much. This is the San Antonio Spurs Larry O'Brien Trophy award ceremony! I'd like to invite NBA President Mr. David Stern!" As he spoke, Walt handed the microphone in his hand to David beside him.

Stern.

"Thank you to the San Antonio Spurs and the Orlando Magic for jointly performing another classic battle for us. Although these two teams met for the first time, it does not prevent them from contributing a classic battle to us. Thank you for your superb skills. They showed

I think this is a glorious moment for all basketball people. They tell us what is the spirit of basketball, what is a team, and what is a hero. The Orlando Magic deserve to be the Eastern Conference champions. They are worthy of their name, and I am extremely proud of them!"

David Stern paused.

"But this night belongs to the 2007 NBA Champion San Antonio Spurs!!!"

With David Stern's voice, the cheers of the audience reached its peak again, and when Tim Duncan raised the O'Brien Cup high, the audience boiled again.

"Wood witnessed the Spurs' celebration with his own eyes. He stood on the sidelines and never left. I hope Otis Smith can see Wood's desire and not let him wait too long. Next is the awarding of the Finals MVP. This time

There were seven games between the Spurs and the Magic in the finals, and the trio of GDP players who contributed the most to the Spurs' championship was undoubtedly the biggest contributor."

"What you said, Charles, is right. In the three games the Magic won in these seven games, some of them performed poorly, and as long as the three of them played normally, they basically won without any accidents. In the seven games, Tony Parker...

Averaged 22.5 points, 5 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and shot 52.% from the field.

Tim Duncan averaged 21.8 points, 11.7 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 2.3 blocks and 1.3 steals per game. His shooting percentage was 48.4%. Manu Ginobili averaged 18.7 points, 5.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.7 steals and 43% per game.

The three-point shooting percentage is 36%.

The three of them have their own characteristics. Judging from the data alone, Tim is undoubtedly the one who deserves the most, but the league owed Manu one in 2005. Although Manu's statistics this year are the least outstanding, his role is very obvious.

There is no problem, but thinking about Tony's dilemma in Game 6 when he was fouled by the Spurs shows his importance, and his scoring data is also the highest..."

"Why can't it be Wood!" Barkley snorted.

The Spurs on the podium were also waiting for the finals awards. Tony Parker was looking forward to it because he was the one who scored the most points among the three. His fiancée Eva stood beside him, feeling her fiancé's nervousness. Eva gave

Parker a kiss.

At this time, David Stern took over the microphone: "I am very honored to participate in the presentation of the championship mvp trophy named after the legendary superstar Bill Russell. This award is awarded to the player with the most outstanding performance in this finals series.

That one, he is the star among the stars and he deserves it."

Tony Parker stood up straight with a faint smile on his face. However, David Stern's words caused him to fall directly from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the valley.

The entire AT&T Center was stunned, and many people even booed to express their dissatisfaction.

"Although he lost the game, his performance deserves everyone's respect. He is still young but he has the spirit of never giving up. I declare that the 2006-2007 season finals MVP is awarded to Orlando Magic Wood Lin!"

After hearing David Stern's words, Lin Sen walked to the podium. The Spurs players on the stage walked away in embarrassment.

"In seven games, he averaged 39.86 points, 10 assists, 5.1 rebounds, 3.57 steals, and 0.7 blocks. His 25 three-pointers set a new record for three-pointers in the NBA Finals. His 24 steals were the same.

Created a new history in the NBA Finals, surpassing 40 points in five out of seven games!" Blue Water said with a smile. Bill Russell on the side put the Finals MVP trophy into Lin Sen's hands.

The boos at the scene were much quieter at this moment. Although they were a little dissatisfied with Lin Sen's MVP award in the finals, they also saw Lin Sen's efforts after seven games, and they also admired Lin Sen's hard work.

.

"It's really Wood. This is the second Finals MVP awarded to a loser in NBA history. Although it is not ruled out that there are reasons for the league's support, I still want to say that Wood deserves this honor." Barkley looked at

Lin Sen said on the court.

In the middle of the podium, Lin Sen looked at the trophy in his hand, smiled bitterly and looked up at the audience in the auditorium: "To be honest, I was surprised. I didn't expect that I would get this award at all. But this is the reality.

I got this award as an underdog. San Antonio is a great team. They deserved to win the championship. I learned a lot from them. First of all, thank you to them."

There were bursts of applause at the scene. Although it was sparse, Lin Sen didn't care.

"Actually, I would like to thank my teammates and coaches. Without them, there would be no me. Although we ended in failure, I believe that we will be able to stand here in the future.

I would also like to thank my lover, my friend and my manager, Mr. David. Without them, there would be no me. They never gave up on me no matter when, where or what situation I was in. Finally, I would like to thank those who have laughed at me and hurt me.

I beat my people." Lin Sen raised his head and looked at the championship flag flying above the arena.

"Today I am a loser but I will definitely be a winner in the future. One day I will get a real trophy!"

After Lin Sen finished speaking, he walked directly off the podium, leaving everyone with a figure that was not tall but majestic enough. At this moment, no one doubted that Lin Sen's words were empty words.

The ending of the 2006-2007 season in this way really surprised everyone. This was something that no one dared to imagine before the finals.

Lin Sen defeated GDP as a loser and won the finals MVP, which also set off a war of words.

42 points, 15 of 27 shots (4 of 8 three-pointers), 8 of 9 free throws, 8 assists, 5 rebounds, 4 steals and 1 block.

37 points, 12 of 22 shots (5 of 8 three-pointers), 8 of 8 free throws, 14 assists, 7 rebounds and 5 steals.

44 points, 12 of 27 shooting (5 of 10 three-pointers), 15 of 17 free throws, 10 assists, 4 rebounds and 2 steals.

40 points, 14 of 22 shots (4 of 7 three-pointers), 8 of 9 free throws, 13 assists, 5 rebounds, 4 steals and 1 block.

25 points, 7 of 21 shooting (2 of 7 three-pointers), 9 of 10 free throws, 7 assists, 4 rebounds and 3 steals.

48 points, 16 of 27 shots (5 of 8 three-pointers), 11 of 13 free throws, 9 assists, 6 rebounds, 4 steals and 2 blocks.

43 points, 13 of 35 shots (including 4 of 11 three-pointers), 13 of 15 free throws, 9 assists, 5 rebounds, 3 steals and 1 block.

This is the first time in his career that rookie Lin Sen has complete data from seven games in the finals. The 20-year-old Lin Sen ended his rookie season with such comprehensive data.

It was this lonely season that allowed Lin Sen to grow rapidly, and it also became the season that had the greatest impact on Lin Sen's career.

Rookie Lin Sen has truly transformed from a young man who just wants to enjoy basketball and life to a person who fights for honor. The 20-year-old Lin Sen opened his future with failure.

No matter how picky the media experts and fans are, they slowly shut up in front of Lin Sen's data, because this data left them speechless.

After a busy season, Lin Sen did not hesitate to invite his female friends who came to cheer him for a feast in San Antonio. Then Lin Sen's support team also left San Antonio one by one, and the small town of San Antonio regained its former feeling.

.

Lin Sen, along with Carolina and Natalie Portman, returned to Orlando on the team's special plane.

When the Magic got off the plane, the Orlando fans did not complain about the failure but gave their best applause to the entire Orlando Magic team who were still in the mood of defeat.

The next day Stan Van Gundy gathered the team together: "Guys, I'm proud of you. We failed in the finals this season, but we are the real winners. We exceeded the set goals. I believe

We will definitely do better next year. The offseason is here. Some people will choose to take a vacation, some will choose to train, and some will participate in international competitions. But no matter who it is, I hope that when the training camp opens in September,

I can see you in 100% condition."

When Stan Van Gundy and Otis Smith finished their speeches, the Magic not only gave the players playoff bonuses, but also awarded each player an additional $1 million, which also made the team happy.

"Wood, please stay for a moment!" Stan Van Gundy stopped Lin Sen.

"Come over if you are free at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. The team will have a meeting tomorrow. As the leader of the team, I think it is necessary for you to sacrifice a day." Otis Smith said with a smile.

"No problem, I will be there on time. If nothing happens, I'll leave first."

"You are too busy this summer." David Falk complained as soon as Lin Sen returned home.

"Listen to your schedule first. First of all, you need to help Hong Kong persuade the franchisee. Of course, it does not have to be this year, but it must be so that that person cannot represent other teams in international competitions this year. Secondly, you need to work with the Philippines

Jackson, of course this is not important." David Falk looked at the notebook in his hand.

"On July 2, you need to start your Asia trip. The first stop will be Tokyo, where you need to stay for three days. On the 5th, you will be in Seoul for two days. Then you need to go to Beijing, where you have three days.

After that, I will go to Nanjing and Guangzhou for one day each, and then fly back to Hong Kong on the 11th to join my Hong Kong teammates for training in preparation for the start of the Asian Championships at the end of the month.

Of course, while we are training in Hong Kong, Hong Kong has promised to leave some time for us to participate in activities. We will talk about this in detail at that time. Of course, the purpose of participating is to get a quota for the Olympics, and the focus will be after the competition."

Lin Sen was shocked. Originally, he wanted to improve his training during this offseason, and he also made an appointment with Kobe and the others.

"Don't worry, your training time has been set aside for you, and they also need various activities. After August 15th, you will have almost a month to train, but the bad news is that you still have time before and after this period.

lots of work……"

"David, just kill me and let's talk about it then." Lin Sen sat directly on the sofa with a look of helplessness on his face.

"This is how big stars get treated." Carolina walked over with a bottle of Gatorade.

"Forget it, I might as well devote myself to training." Lin Sen took the Gatorade and pouted. At the same time, he also roughly guessed the content of tomorrow's meeting.

Otis Smith still stayed in the Water House Center office. There were several player lists on his computer, and these players were undoubtedly the Magic's key recruiting targets in the offseason.

It is less than a week until the offseason, which is when the trading market opens, and less than 4 days until the draft. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at Qidian.
