The Godfather of Basketball

The players and fans are celebrating their championship, and the staff over there are nervously counting the results of the fans and media voting for FMVP.

Compared with when the Nets won the championship two years ago, the suspense of FMVP this year is relatively small, basically between George and Irving.

After 6 games, Irving averaged 27.8 points, 2.5 rebounds and 4.5 assists, shooting 46.8% from the field and 40.1% from the three-point field. Among them, he scored 42 points in the sixth game, setting a new career scoring record in the playoffs.

George averaged 23.5 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.9 steals per game, shooting 49% from the field and 42% from the three-point range. Among them, he scored 37 points in the fifth game, only 2 points away from his career scoring record in the playoffs.

The performance of the others is also very good, but relatively speaking, there is still some gap with the two.

(Butler averaged 15.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 2.1 steals per game, 48.8% field goal percentage, 35% three-point field goal percentage;

Jokic averaged 12.8 points, 11.5 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 1.8 blocks per game, shooting 58% from the field and 37.9% from three-pointers;

Mitchell averaged 13.8 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game, shooting 45% from the field and 35.7% from three-pointers.)

Hathaway and Swift also came down to the field at this time. They held Tang Hao and Tang Tang with their left and right hands respectively. The two little guys are almost 4 years old now. They have inherited the excellent genes of their parents. The small broken steps are murmuring and walking, and the long ones are all very beautiful.

When Boss Ma met the two children for the first time, he also greeted them with a smile, which was too kind.

Not long after, the greetings here are almost done, and the statistical work over there has been completed.

The staff came here with the envelope containing the results.

The team members were also celebrating. At this time, while looking at the staff, they also turned their heads to look at Owen and George.

As teammates, they naturally knew who the two people who contributed the most in the finals were.

Xiao Hua took the envelope containing the results, and the audience, including all the audience who watched the live broadcast of the finals, looked at the center of the small court.

Bill Russell was supported by Wade and Frank to his feet.

Although his health is getting worse and worse, his face is very rosy at the moment. At his age, being able to appear at the championship award ceremony one more time is a little more colorful for his life.

Xiao Hua opened the envelope, smiled at the camera, and then announced the final ownership of FMVP.

"The winner of the 2017-2018 NBA Bill Russell Cup is...Kyrie Irving."

There were cheers and whistles as Owen's name was read.

George was the first to hug Owen and send him words of blessing.

The team members also booed and shouted Owen's name.

Throughout the entire series, except for the fifth game, his performance was basically the best in the team, and in the last game he led the team to win the series away from home with an unbelievable performance, just like the homonym of his name, It is to control (carry) the game, and the FMVP is well-deserved.

Irving is a bit young, but really counting, as the No. 1 pick in 2011, he has only been in the NBA for 7 years. Although he has always been very popular because of his style of play, he also appeared on the stage of the Finals with James before. However, it is the first time that he truly leads the team to win the championship as the core.

Nervous, excited, overwhelmed...all concentrated on the face of this 26-year-old player.

Irving walked to the front desk, bowed to take the FMVP trophy from Russell, and then raised it high under the gesture of the staff.

"MVP! MVP!"

Although there were not many people at the scene, there were still shouts of MVP.

Only then did Owen's expression look a little excited, and his eye circles were slightly red.

For him, this year was actually really not easy.

"Kyrie, we know that you have been under a lot of pressure from the offseason to the present in the past year, but now that you have won the FMVP trophy, do you have anything to say?" The reporter also came over at this time and said The microphone was handed to him.

There will always be a lot of testimonials to say when you get FMVP.

"Eh..." Owen took the microphone, seemingly having a million thoughts, and didn't know how to speak for a while.

There was a burst of cheers of encouragement.

Owen shook his head with a smile, and he took a deep breath when the cheers fell, and began his speech: "I must first thank Mr. Tang, he is not only our coach, but also the owner of the team. George, and the others called this team."

Owen was the first to thank Tang Tian, ​​which immediately caused cheers and whistles from the fans.

"We all know the changes that Dwyane brought to the series, and we saw George's crazy performance in Game 5, and Derek's performance in the Eastern Conference Finals, and Nicola, Yi, Donovan, Larry Jane, PJ...the contribution of everyone in the game, this is a complete team, without any of them, it is impossible to have this championship, so this trophy is not mine, but everyone behind me A teammate."

After this sentence was finished, the team members behind them cheered.

Tang Tian and Boss Ma both laughed and applauded. Owen's modest character is still very attractive.

"Yes, the past year was really not easy for me." After thanking him, he began to answer what the reporter said just now.

"There's actually nothing that can't be said. I left the Cavaliers because they thought I wasn't good enough. They thought I couldn't win the championship as the core of the team. They wanted to trade me away from the team for some other assets. I knew it, so I proposed With that request, they ended up trading me to Brooklyn and getting the asset they wanted.”

The reporters on the sidelines took pictures with excitement. This is the first time Irving has publicly talked about this matter since he left the Cavaliers.

"But that's not important anymore. I'm very glad that I can come to Brooklyn, play for the coach, and be teammates with such a group of outstanding players. I can bring the final championship to the New York fans. I am grateful and grateful All the fans who support the Nets, support me, and that's enough."

After Owen finished speaking, he handed the microphone back to the reporter.

There were cheers and whistles at the scene.

This award acceptance speech is neither humble nor overbearing, and the words are just right.

Moreover, judging from the tone of his speech, he was not prepared in advance, which also showed his character, he was not pretentious, but he was not narrow-minded.

As a player who has gone through what happened during the offseason of the Cavaliers, it must be false to say that he is not angry, but it is indeed not easy to look back at that incident with such a peaceful mind.

But just like he was the first to thank Tang Tian in his speech, he also knew that he could only say that after winning the championship. If it turns out that he is not capable of leading the team to win the championship, then everything will be nothing to say.

After all, history is left to the victors to write.
