The Fifth Point Guard

Watching the Cavaliers win the championship, Barkley said emotionally: "Cleveland was able to surpass everyone's expectations and beat the Spurs 4-3 because of its tenacious fighting will and never-say-die spirit. Among them, Chinese player Shentong He played a vital role, he is the soul of this team, his tenacity and bravery are all important factors in Cleveland's ability to win the championship."

Smith also said: "Indeed, this series is the most exciting series in recent years, with physical collisions, flagrant fouls, reversals and reversals. In short, the most important thing about this series is all the players participating in the finals. , there was no softie, and although the Spurs ultimately lost unfortunately, they could still leave the court with their heads held high."

Barkley said: "There were indeed no softies in our era, so this series was quite to my taste. Let us congratulate the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 40-year championship-less record in this city's sports history has finally ended! The Cleveland Cavaliers The team won the first NBA championship trophy for this city!"

When the Cavaliers won the championship, it was not just the fans in the stadium who were excited. Outside the stadium, the entire Cleveland became a sea of ​​joy.

Fans from across the ocean and even around the world who supported the Cavaliers and STO were partying all night long.

A middle-aged Cleveland fan burst into tears on the spot.

When the big screen at the scene was pointed at the fan, the fan, who seemed to be in his 50s, held up a black and white photo, and next to him appeared to be his son, holding up a big-character poster.

From the content on the big-character poster, we found out that the person in the black-and-white photo was the father of the middle-aged fan and the grandfather of the fan holding the big-character poster next to him.

This old fan has been a loyal fan of the Cleveland Cavaliers since 30 years ago, and this support lasts for 30 years.

The year before last, the old fan passed away due to illness, and his biggest regret was not being able to see the Cavaliers win the championship.

Now, his son took his father to witness the Cavaliers' championship in another way.

When the big screen was focused on these two people, not only the middle-aged man and his son, but also many fans at the scene shed tears.

They had waited too long for this moment.

"STO!"

"STO!"

STO's name echoed neatly throughout the stadium.

During the award ceremony, David Stern and "Lord of the Rings" Bill Russell appeared in the center of the venue with the Cavaliers.

After Stern's remarks, Russell handed the championship trophy to Cavaliers captain Shentong.

Amid the warm applause, Shentong took over the O'Brien Cup from Russell with a smile.

When handing the trophy to Shentong, Russell leaned over and whispered a few words in Shentong's ear.

Shen Tong burst out laughing after hearing this.

Then Stern picked up the phone again.

"Let us welcome the winner of this round's Finals MVP, Shentong, who plays for the Cleveland Cavaliers!"

STO has handed the trophy to Reggie Miller, who kissed the trophy repeatedly, ignored Wagner's reaching out, and seemed unwilling to let go.

At this time, Shentong raised his hands high and took over the Finals MVP trophy from Russell again.

This time Russell smiled and clapped.

STO directly raised the trophy high.

This trophy is entirely my own honor.

Although this championship is of great significance, it is STO's second time after all, but the finals MVP is the first time.

The deafening cheers gradually became quiet.

Shentong walked to the podium.

Clearing his throat, Shen Tong smiled before saying anything.

The scene immediately erupted with cheers and whistles again.

The bright smile came from the heart, and Shentong had never been as relaxed as at this moment.

If the last time I felt like this was the moment I got the notice from Peking University for the college entrance examination.

This time, Shentong said into the microphone: "I know this championship has exceeded many people's expectations. For us, this championship is hard-won. We lost LeBron in the fifth game and lost in the sixth game." Ilgauskas, but we did not give up, we are a team, a group of extremely close brothers, if anyone falls, someone from us will bravely step up."

After a pause, Shentong continued: "I always believe that when a person lives, he must open roads across mountains and build bridges when encountering water. Many times, we escape because of fear, but the result is that we retreat again and again, with no way out. If If you have the courage to face the problem head on, it will be easier to usher in a turning point. Bravery is never an instinct, but a skill. It is when you know that there are difficulties and you are still willing to face them, and when you are confused and anxious, face those winds and waves head on! Through the wind and rain, you will have what you are looking forward to They will all come!"

Shentong's words, which were full of chicken soup and philosophy, won warm applause.

Including president David Stern nodded repeatedly.

The NBA has never had players of such high quality speak.

In the end, Shen said one sentence that brought the atmosphere of the scene to a climax.

"Cleveland, this is for you! (Cleveland, this is your championship!)"

In the live broadcast room, Barkley secretly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Smith was surprised: "Charles, are you crying?"

"Who is crying? Sand has been scraped into his eyes."

Smith raised the corners of his mouth slightly, but did not continue to ask.

After all, this guy has never won a championship in his life.

In the locker room after the game, everyone drank celebratory drinks and was showered with champagne.

Paul Silas was soaked in the rain, but he always had a happy smile on his face.

The entire locker room turned into a sea of ​​joy, and the smell of champagne was everywhere.

From coaches to players and even staff, everyone took a refreshing champagne bath.

This is the exclusive taste of victory.

On the Internet, traffic about the Cleveland Cavaliers winning the championship is exploding.

There are big news everywhere about the Cavaliers winning the championship and STO winning the Finals MVP.

Fans are also discussing this historical moment in the forum.

"The moment the Cavaliers won the championship, my second uncle, who had been paralyzed for 10 years, suddenly walked away from the wall. His whereabouts are still unknown."

"When the whole world thought that the Spurs would win the championship, I still supported the Cavaliers unswervingly. Now that the Cavaliers have won the championship, I feel as if I had a fight with the world, and I won."

"I once told myself that as a boy, I could either put on a school uniform and aim everywhere; I could put on a suit and save lives; I could put on a suit and strategize; or I could put on a military uniform and guard one side. I chose to put on a jersey and gallop. court!"

"Add another floor. Or ride on a tricycle and collect old refrigerators."

"Take on another level. Or put on women's clothing and benefit the world."

"Take on the next level. Or join the Beggar Clan and travel around the world."

"Or put on work clothes and have a face full of vicissitudes of life."

"Or wear kitchen clothes and have a shiny face."

"Or bring a keyboard and breathe fragrance."

“There are talented people upstairs!”

The day after winning the championship, the Cavaliers were on vacation.

Four days later, the Cavaliers held a championship parade to celebrate.

The next day, Shentong took his family to Hawaii for vacation.

Including Li Sixuan and Alexander.

Had a great and carefree 10 days.

When Shentong was lying on the deck chair enjoying the sunbathing, his brother-in-law Alexander suddenly ran to Shentong's side.

"Shen, I watched "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" you recommended, and I really have a new understanding of Chinese culture."

Shentong opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Okay, I can speak Chinese very smoothly."

Alexander proudly said: "Of course, Nina and I often talk in Chinese at home. My parents are also learning Chinese now. I have to say that compared to English and French, Chinese is a relatively difficult language to learn."

"You've made rapid progress."

"Then can I ask a question?"

"Tell me, what's the problem?"

"It's in this novel. When the eagle and the snake fight, why does Yang Guo help the eagle fight the snake instead of helping the snake fight the eagle?"

This question immediately stopped Shentong.

As expected of Nina Dobrev's brother, the depth of the problem is much deeper than that of Richard Jefferson.

This question has no answer. If you want to ask the specific reason, you can only ask Grandpa Jin Yong himself.

But for Shentong, who has a flexible mind, it is not difficult to deal with a foreigner who has just started middle school.

"Do you know why you didn't help the snake? Think about it, you are standing there, and the eagle and the snake are asking you to help kill each other at the same time."

"The eagle said: You kill the snake, you kill the snake."

"The snake said: You kill the eagle, you are the eagle."

"It's you, who will you kill?"

Alexander's expression was confused at first, and then his eyes suddenly brightened when he looked at Shentong, showing an expression of enlightenment, and then his face was filled with a smile.

"Chinese culture is indeed profound and profound! Thank you!"

After saying that, Alexander went happily.

"Jingle Bell"

Shentong answered the phone, and Tracy McGrady's voice came from the phone.

"Shen, when will training start?"

"What, are we going to have another training camp this summer?"

"I'm afraid not. Kobe and Allen Iverson have already resumed training. I heard that they even found personal trainers and trained very hard."

"Okay, I understand. See you at my house in three days."

"OK."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Tong knew that his vacation was coming to an end.

When Shentong stood on the court in his villa, Tracy McGrady, Arenas, Jefferson, James, Anthony and others were training together at the same time.

In addition to these familiar faces, there are two guys who are expected to be lottery picks entering the draft, Chris Paul and Marvin Williams.

Here, they will continue the tradition of special training before the new season.

On the first day of training, Shentong discovered that there was an uninvited guest in the training lineup.

"Hey, suck, is that guy here with you?"

McGrady took one look and said, "I thought you found this guy."

"Hey, man, which unit are you from?"

Andrew Bogut replied: "I did it on my own."

"Wow, you are really talented."

"That's right, Shen, I really admire you. Otherwise, I can do whatever you ask me to do!"

"Go to the door right away and pull a poop."

"receive!"

Bogut grinned and just ran to the door, before he could squat down.

There was a "bang" sound.

Shentong closed the door heavily.

"In the future, don't let such insignificant people follow you in."

"Got it," the others replied.

At this time, Williams said: "Shen, this guy is said to be the favorite to be the No. 1 pick this season."

"So what?" Shentong said with disdain, "I will give him some color in the new season."

I don’t know where Bogut offended STO, which made the league’s top player last season feel so resentful.

Williams and Paul looked at each other and couldn't help but stick out their tongues, thinking that even if this guy becomes the No. 1 pick, his future in the NBA may not be easy.

After a month of training, everyone dispersed and rested to prepare for the new season.

STO was not idle, and quietly found Tim Grove, Jordan's former personal trainer, to help him continue to improve his physical fitness and strength training.

On June 28, 2005, the NBA draft was held at Madison Square Garden in New York.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have no draft picks this time and can only sit on the sidelines.

The first Milwaukee Bucks to appear did as Marvin Williams said, choosing Australian player Andrew Bogut.

This guy is 2.13 meters tall and plays the role of center. He was born into a Croatian immigrant family in Melbourne, Australia.

In his final season at the Australian Institute of Sport, Bogut averaged 29 points and 14.5 rebounds per game.

In 2003, Bogut entered the University of Utah.

In his first season, he averaged 12.5 points and 9.9 rebounds per game and was elected the Mountain West Conference's Rookie of the Year.

In his second season, he averaged 20.4 points, 12.2 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 1.8 blocks per game, while shooting 62% from the field.

Ranked first in the Associated Press All-American voting, was elected the Associated Press and ESPN Player of the Year and the Naismith College Player of the Year, and won the John Wooden Award.

It can be said that Bogut deserves to be the No. 1 pick.

However, this guy was rejected by the Shentong family and was written about on the website by the media, making him a laughing stock for a while.

Although he did not dare to offend STO, Bogut still proudly stated that he was the strongest player produced in Australian history.

But this sentence offended Australian player David Anderson, who is already playing in the NBA.

Anderson said he can beat Bogut one-on-one.

This incident added a lot of laughter to Bogut himself.

Some media even said that Bogut is likely to be the second Kwame Brown.

The Atlanta Hawks selected Marvin Williams with their second pick.

Williams, who graduated from North Carolina, is 2.06 meters tall and can play both forward and forward positions. He has solid basic skills and can play inside and outside.

In high school, Williams was a star player. In his final year of high school, he averaged 28.7 points, 15.5 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 steals. He scored 42 points in a single game twice and at least 20 rebounds in a single game five times. , sent at least 10 assists in a single game three times.

In 2004, Williams entered North Carolina and served as the team's substitute, averaging 11.3 points and 6.6 rebounds in 22 minutes per game.

In the NCAA tournament, Williams, along with Raymond Felton, Sean May, and Rashad McCants, led North Carolina to the 2005 NCAA tournament championship.

In the final against the University of Illinois, Williams made a tip-in with 1 minute and 26 seconds left in the game, helping North Carolina break the 70-level deadlock and help North Carolina win 75-70.

Marvin Williams is also considered by NBA scouts to be the next Larry Bird due to this ball and his infinite potential.

Before participating in the draft, Williams was praised by coaches, teammates, and the media, saying that he was humble, low-key, and eager to learn. In addition, his big-hearted performance in scoring the winning shot in the NCAA finals made him a player who could compete with Bogu. The favorite to compete for the No. 1 pick.

In the second training camp held by Shentong before the start of the season, Shentong told Williams that he must not be a good gentleman on the NBA stage, but also be competitive at all times, and have the determination to dare to go it alone after taking the ball, because he Have this strength.

Williams kept these words firmly in mind.
