NBA Backer King

  Chapter 320 The first FMVP of his career

   "Ahhhhh..."

  Wang Tiejun shouted recklessly, venting the excitement in his heart, and the huge pressure he had always faced.

  After he won the championship in 1993, he saw Barkley's madness. At the time, he didn't understand it, he couldn't understand the madness and excitement, but now he can understand it.

   The feeling of following the core of the team to win the championship is completely different from the feeling of leading the team to win the championship as the core. The responsibility and pressure are more than ten times heavier.

After winning the championship in 1993, the management immediately decided to rebuild the team with him as the core, and even traded Barkley. He didn't show it, but the pressure in his heart was really great, and he couldn't tell others, even in front of Feihong. never revealed.

   He was eliminated in the Western Conference finals last year, and it was Barkley’s team who eliminated him, which made the pressure to the extreme. Until now, with his team winning the championship, this pressure has been lifted by him.

   He used the championship to prove that the management decision was right, that Colangelo's decision was right, and he proved to everyone that he is the future of the Suns.

  Lightning Kevin Johnson burst into tears, this season is too easy, he has experienced serious injuries, but the final result is perfect, and his career is perfect.

   Two championships, even as an outside core, he has no regrets.

   At the same time, he has done what he promised to help Lao K, and he has not made a blunder.

  Like Dan Marley, like Kevin Johnson, is very happy to bring a second championship to the parent team. His career has been perfect, and he believes that he can also leave his name in the history of the Suns.

Glider Drexler has tears all over his face. For more than ten seasons, he has been crushed by Jordan in various ways, but today, he can swept Jordan and won the championship, and even now he has an unbelievable feeling. It feels like he can actually accomplish such an achievement?

   He has to thank the Suns and even the Blazers management for trading him to Phoenix, yes, definitely.

   And then I would like to thank old K. Without this most dominant super center, he could not have defeated Jordan and swept the championship.

   Now he has no regrets, his career is complete, and next, he will fight for the last contract and use the rest of his career to earn more pensions for himself.

  Danny Manning, very happy to win the championship, the only regret is that this championship, without his own efforts, is considered a ring.

   He is still in the recovery stage, and he doesn’t know what the future will hold. Apart from being excited, he is also a little confused. He doesn’t know where and what his future is.

  Westphal kept talking to several of his teaching assistants to express his excitement and excitement.

   He feels that he is the luckiest head coach. He entered the industry in 1992 and won two championships in three years. I am afraid that he is the first person in the league to achieve this achievement.

  Jerry Colangelo was very fortunate to follow Barkley to Manhattan's Chinatown in New York, and he now knows that it was a lucky trip.

  Two championships in three years, he never dared to think so, but now the Suns have done it.

   And then, his goal is not only the championship, but the dynasty, which is to make the Suns into a giant.

  Bryan Colangelo stood by his father's side. He was even more excited, anxious, and looking forward to it.

Father Colangelo has promised him that he will be the general manager next, that is to say, the new Suns will build him, the Suns with old K as the core, for the future dynasty and Luxurious and hardworking.

   The pressure is very high, so I am very anxious, and I don’t know what the result of waiting for him will be.

The team has to remove some stars, and also clean up some role players and main players. After two championships, there will be some players who will lose their pursuit of the championship. These people must be cleaned up. The players at the heart of the championship quest are back.

   But before that, he wants to find a chance to talk to the old K, and only after the contract with the old K can be dealt with other affairs.

Next to the duo are Bulls owner Reinsdorf, general manager Jerry Krause, and league president David Stern.

   "Finally... lose!"

   At the end of the game, Reinsdorf sighed in his heart. Next, he has to consider how much money he will spend to rebuild the winning lineup.

  Klaus was very calm, because after the two-game losing streak at home, he thought of the result of this finals.

   Just being swept is unacceptable to him, which means that as a general manager, he is a failure in lineup building.

   He won the championship with this lineup last season, but the same lineup was swept this season. It can only be said that the lineup was restrained.

   Next, he needs to trade and rebuild the inside line. Except for Jordan who cannot move, everyone else will become his chips.

   But before that, he has to have a good talk with Jordan and Phil Jackson.

   "Congratulations, Mr. Colangelo, the Suns are an amazing team with two championships in three years." After the game, Stern sent his congratulations.

   "Thank you, Mr. Stern." Colangelo said excitedly.

  Stern is a little regretful that the Bulls were really swept away. No, not the Bulls, but unfortunately Jordan was swept.

   Being swept this time, in his opinion, was a big blow to Michael Jordan. The invincible rank was broken, and he lost a lot of brilliance. It was no longer a unique level.

  If he can complete the dynasty, he believes that Jordan will become the only one, whether it is strength or honor, or influence and popularity, he is a supergiant among supergiants.

But now, before Jordan can't complete the dynasty, he can only be like Larry Bird, Erwin Johnson and the others. He is a super giant at the historical level, even the top three in history, but he can't dominate the history and be above everyone else. superior.

   At most, because of its worldwide influence and popularity, it is higher than Larry Bird and their historical super giants.

   On the court, after a group of Suns players and coaches got excited, they found that the Bulls were still waiting and hurried over to shake hands with them.

  Jordan has calmed down, and he did not leave, but wanted to send his congratulations, which is the most basic courtesy.

   When he won the championship, the smiling assassin turned his head and left without congratulating him, which made him extremely annoying, so he would not be the kind of person he hated.

  “Michael…”

  Drexler was the closest, and when he shook hands with Jordan, as the winner, he wanted to talk trash, but seeing Jordan's red eyes, he couldn't say it again.

   Lightning and Lei Gong shook hands with Jordan one by one, but they didn't say anything.

   "Jordan, let's compare again next time." Old K said when shaking hands with Jordan.

   "Old K, you wait for me."

He was beaten twice by Old K in the finals. Jordan's mood was too complicated. He gritted his teeth and said this sentence, and he didn't care to shake hands with other Suns players. He turned around and walked directly to the player tunnel. A large group of reporters Didn't stop him.

   "Feihong..."

   "Old K, congratulations, I wish you the championship every year in the future."

   "Haha, I want the championship every year, so the NBA can't break up?"

   Walking to the sidelines, Wang Tiejun leaned over and hugged Yu Feihong to celebrate.

   "Old K, congratulations!"

Next to   , Hawksman, Cheng Long and others also sent their congratulations.

   "Old K, congratulations!"

  The superstars of Barkley and Magic Johnson came, followed by a large number of Hollywood stars, as well as a group of celebrity businessmen from Phoenix.

   Behind these people, the governor of Arizona and some congressmen also came, as well as the mayor of Phoenix and others.

   "Old K, I hope you and the Suns will complete your contract as soon as possible, stay here, you will be the greatest sports superstar in this state, and there will be a statue of you here."

   After sending his congratulations, Governor Norkens Waring said.

   "I hope too." Old Wang said with a smile.

   At this time, in the TNT commentary booth, Albert got the data record sheet and read: "In this game, Jordan scored 48 points, and his performance was amazing..."

   Speaking of this, he couldn't help sighing: "Alas, it's a pity that I met old K."

Kevin Harlan continued Albert's words and said: "The stronger the stronger, the stronger Michael Jordan played in one of the most amazing finals of his career, scoring 47, 45, 49, and 48 points in four games. That's a terrifying 47.25 points, which is a six-point improvement from the 41 points per game in the '93 Finals, which is incredible."

   "But there is another person who is incredible, and that is old K."

  Albert sorted out his emotions and continued: "Old K scored less than Jordan in this game, with 46 points, but his shooting percentage reached 73%. Although it is not as good as the first three games, it is also a terrible efficiency.

   Of course, Jordan is also good, shooting 58.5%, especially 5 of 10 three-pointers.

   But the old K got the same score as Jordan with fewer shots, which is the most important reason for the Suns to win.

  At the same time, in addition to scoring, he also grabbed 21 rebounds, which is also one of the most important reasons for the Suns to win. "

  Kevin Harlan nodded and said, "The Suns made too many mistakes in this game, and their state was not good. If it wasn't for Old K grabbing 21 rebounds, the Suns would not have swept the Bulls."

Albert smiled: "We would like to congratulate the Suns again for completing an unprecedented four-round sweep to win the championship. Then again, Old K scored 57 points, 50 points, and 47 points in the four finals series. 46 points, 200 points on four occasions, and an astounding 50 points per game, another unprecedented feat."

  Kevin Harlan said excitedly: "Yes, he is the first player in the history of the league finals, with two consecutive 50+ games, the only superstar with an average of 50+ per game in the finals, and the super scoring champion."

   "Congratulations, Mr. K, you made history." Albert said excitedly.

Kevin Harlan said with a smile: "Old K's 3+1 contract is in the last year, and the media has long reported that he may jump out of the last year of the contract to test the free market, but I don't think Mr. Colangelo does not. I'll let him go, that's impossible."

Albert nodded and smiled and said: "Market rumors, the Lakers have been chasing the old K, but I don't think there will be much chance, the Suns have the bird rights of the old K, Mr. Colangelo is also very courageous, he will definitely Offer a big contract that will satisfy the old K."

   "With the Suns' current operating ability, it is definitely a billion-dollar contract." Kevin Harlan added.

"certainly."

  Albert laughed: "Ewing got an annual salary of 10 million yuan, he is the first one, but I think Old K is definitely worth a billion-dollar contract with an annual salary of 10 million yuan."

   Kevin Harlan laughed: "Of course, Ewing hasn't brought a championship to the Knicks, but old K has brought two championships to the Suns.

According to the Suns' internal news, the Suns' operating income this season has doubled compared to last season, and has more than quadrupled since 1992. The team's market value has also turned upside down. The Suns have enough Strength to renew the old K. "

Albert suddenly talked about Jordan and said: "Jordan's contract ends next season, I have a source, his agent David Frank offered the Bulls management an annual salary of 20 million during the early contract renewal negotiations. The high price, the two sides have not reached an agreement to renew the contract in advance.”

   "An annual salary of 20 million? Oh, that's too high! Jordan is only 4 million this year, 20 million, which is equivalent to seven skins." Kevin Harlan said in surprise.

   "Seven skins? Haha, okay, Kevin, stop being funny."

Albert laughed for a while before continuing: "If Jordan successfully defends his first three consecutive championships, with the countless hard honors he has won before, plus a dynasty, he will gain an unparalleled historical status, but now he still lacks a dynasty. , I also think the annual salary of 20 million is too high."

Kevin Harlan thought for a while and said: "If the Bulls use the bird rights to supercap to renew Jordan's contract, if it's only a one-year or two-year contract, the annual salary of 20 million is not unacceptable, after all, the value Jordan created for the Bulls. It will be bigger, but at his age, it is impossible to sign another long-term contract with an annual salary of 20 million."

   At this time, Albert said: "Okay, Mr. Stern is ready to present the trophy, congratulations to the Phoenix Suns, congratulations to the old K..."

   At the scene, everyone looked at the O'Brien Cup in Stern's hands and was very excited.

David Stern, holding the trophy, said to TNT's live camera: "A season is over, an exciting Finals is over, and I want to thank all the players in the league, all the coaches, and all the Fans, thank you for your dedication and support..."

   After explaining a whole conversation, he said: "Congratulations to the Phoenix Suns for winning the 94/95 season championship."

"yeah!"

  Mexican Arena instantly turned into the most enthusiastic ocean, and endless streamer debris floated from the ceiling again.

  Excited Jerry Colangelo took the trophy, kissed it first, and raised it to the countless Suns fans, bringing the cheers to a peak.

"awesome!"

  Wang Tiejun took the trophy with both hands. After looking at it, he raised it high towards the fans.

   This is the first championship trophy he won as a core, and the meaning is completely different from that in 1993, very excited and excited.

After    nostalgic for a while, he handed the trophy to Lightning beside him.

"awesome!"

  Nothing else but great, Lightning kissed the trophy hard and lifted it high.

"yeah!"

   Every time the trophy was lifted high, bursts of cheers erupted from the scene.

   "Kacha Kacha..." The fingers of hundreds of reporters at the scene were numb.

   After celebrating for more than ten minutes, David Stern took a basket-colored gold-trimmed envelope handed over by his staff.

   "Come on, FMVP, the most valuable player in the finals, old K, it must be old K, there is no second choice." On the CCTV commentary booth, Su Qun shouted excitedly.

   "That's for sure. He averaged 50 points per game in the finals, the first player in the NBA in history! Previously, Jordan averaged 41 points per game. Tiejun is really the first player in history!" Zhang Lili said excitedly.

   "Sun King! Sun King! Sun King..."

   At this time, at the Westside Arena, the audience began to shout.

  Suns fans did not call the old K's nickname, but the new nickname of the Sun King, representing a new recognition of him by the Suns fans, which means that his status in the city has reached a new height.

   "Congratulations to Wang Tiejun for being unanimously elected as the Most Valuable Player of the Finals." David Stern said with a smile on his face.

"yeah!"

   The cheers of the audience reached their peak in an instant.

"Old K, you played an incredible final. All the honors you have won are well-deserved and worthy of everyone's respect. Congratulations." Stern handed over the trophy and sent his congratulations .

   "Thank you, Mr. Stern."

  Pharaoh took the trophy from Stern with excitement.

   This trophy is very large, like the O'Brien Cup, with a black base and a golden basketball on it.

  Pharaoh lifted it up to the fans' media, the scene immediately screamed, and the warmest cheers sounded immediately.

   "Congratulations to Mr. K for winning the first FMVP of his career. I believe this is definitely not the last, this is just the beginning." Su Qun said excitedly.

   "Yes, a start."

   Zhang Lili smiled and nodded again and again, and then said: "Now let's see Fengshen Street, it's very lively there..."

  The camera switched and came to Fengshen Street.

  I saw that the whole street more than 330 meters long was full of people, most of them were young men and women, and some middle-aged people.
