The Pope of Basketball Community

Chapter 401 [Shut up! No. 1 in the world! 】

When the game whistle sounded, everyone started celebrating, and not a single fan left the field.

Stoudemire and Wallace are two young men who can jump three feet high. It would be no problem for them to fight again with this energy.

Jeff Hornacek shrewdly picked up the basketball used in the game and quietly handed it to his daughter Abby, who came to watch the game, and asked her to take it home as a souvenir.

Jordan cried like a child and hugged Yang Rui for a long time, unwilling to let go.

The Wizards would not be able to win the championship without Yang Rui. Jordan is very clear about the importance of this championship. If he only has five championships, his historical status will be in the top three in the league.

Although Russell has a lot of championships, his personal data is not very good, and he has only been selected to the best team three times.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar dominated the NBA scoring list, but gave way to "Magic" Johnson at the end of his career. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has 6 championship trophies, 6 regular season MVPs (one missed the playoffs), 2 Finals MVPs, 10 first team appearances, and 5 first defense appearances.

In terms of personal data, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is inferior to Jordan. He scores more points because he plays for a longer time. He only has 2 scoring titles, 1 rebounding title, and 4 block titles.

Now, almost everyone thinks that Jordan, who won six championships, is the number one player in NBA history. After all, he has left numerous admirable data records, including 10 scoring titles, 9 first-defense titles, 6 FMVPs, etc... It’s difficult. be broken. Winning the championship with the Wizards in his retirement season is an eternal classic in the NBA.

Yang Rui was equally excited. Everyone thought it was a miracle that the Wizards won the championship this season. In the end, in addition to their own strength, it is also critical that other teams become weaker due to the butterfly effect. Relying on Jordan's promotional video, the Wizards' morale is high and they have become popular. These factors are indispensable.

With this championship, someone will mention Yang Rui's name a hundred years later, but he did not cry like Jordan, but was just a little worried that Jordan would wipe his nose on his shoulders.

Yang Rui shook hands with Nelson. The old coach frowned, reluctantly congratulated him, and then left the court.

Old Nelson is too old and cannot match the energy of young people. Yang Rui is still so young, so the future will definitely belong to him. Old Nelson is unwilling to give up. He is preparing to recruit players in the summer to strengthen the Mavericks' lineup and strive to win the championship next year.

However, there is a problem with Nelson's team building thinking. He always attacks the strong and defends the weak. If he does not change, there will be no hope of winning the championship.

Soon, the finals MVP was selected.

Jordan scored 15 points, 7 rebounds and 17 assists in the final game.

In the series, he averaged 18.7 points, 7 rebounds, 9 assists and 1 steal per game, shooting 45% from the field and 33.3% from the three-point range, becoming the Finals MVP.

Hamilton scored 30 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists in the last game, averaging 22 points, 3.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.2 steals per game. He shot 47.3% from the field and 40% from the three-point range. His statistics were not inferior to Jordan's. Compared to gimmicks, Hamilton is too far behind, and the league will not give him this award.

Jordan gave Hamilton an award privately. When giving a speech, he said: "We won the championship by relying on the team, and this award belongs to everyone. Special thanks to Richard Hamilton, whose performance is very stable. I want to Let me ask you, would you like to be the spokesperson for AJ sneakers?"

After speaking, he handed the microphone to Hamilton, who was in a daze next to him.

Hamilton laughed: "Haha, of course I do."

This has a legacy significance. After Jordan retires, Hamilton will be the Wizards' outside core next season. He played at an All-Star level in the playoffs.

Then, Jordan took over the championship trophy from Stern and delivered a heartfelt speech.

The number of words here is omitted. Jordan has turned into Montaki's steel egg. The last thing he said was that Stern wanted to grab the microphone and yell: "Shut up!"

As an important contributor to the championship, Yang Rui also gave a speech, which was much shorter than what Jordan said: "I wanted to talk about my feelings, but I didn't expect to stop here. I was so excited that I forgot about it. I am very happy today, thank you everyone! "

The fans at the scene applauded and cheered vigorously.

The audience who watched the award ceremony on TV laughed like crazy. This was probably the shortest and nonsensical coach's speech in NBA history.

The dark horse won the championship. Yang Rui didn't mention the upset, the fighting spirit, or the thanks. It was as if everything was taken for granted.

In this way, he was even more pretentious, making everyone feel that this would not be the last championship of his career. He was really a genius "born in Rome".

Jordan's legend is over, Jerry Young's legend has just begun.

The outcome was decided. At the press conference, Nelson praised Yang Rui. "I like fast-paced offense and running and gunning. Originally, I was worried that if one day I retired, maybe no one would coach like this. But when Jerry Young joined the Raptors, I knew that there was someone who shared my philosophy. , and do it better than me.”

Nelson admits that others are better than him, which is the highest compliment.

The reporter asked: "What do you think is Jerry Young's greatest advantage?"

"He is like a combination of me and Phil Jackson. He will arrange appropriate tactics for his players, make full use of substitutes, and has an excellent vision to find players who suit the team system. In terms of building the team, I'm not as good as him. Last summer, I didn't look at the Wizards. They didn't have a super scorer, and they had two newcomers in the paint... As a result, they kept improving, and their encounter in the finals was much better than in the regular season. Those two rookies became the winning team in the paint. The essential."

Old Nelson was a little depressed: "Laettner and Haywood barely got a chance to play. This shows how strong the Wizards' inside lineup is, especially Stoudemire. He and Hamilton are also All-Star players. The Mavericks It’s not like people analyzed it before the game, the lineup has a huge advantage.”

Nelson is not convinced. In his opinion, the Wizards are also a trident, and their substitute strength is better than that of the Mavericks. Just because Nowitzki had good statistics and won the regular season MVP, the Wizards' win turned into an upset. The media also used this to belittle the Mavericks, which made him very angry.

The reporter interviewed Yang Rui. He said that he was very happy to win and did not mention Jordan or his feelings again. Why he defeated the Mavericks and why he created miracles is left to others to judge.

Yang Rui kept a low profile, but Jordan praised him fiercely.

"When I asked Jerry to discuss joining forces, the Wizards were a bottom-heavy team. I didn't expect him to agree easily. He said there was only one reason to join the Wizards. In order for me to retire with honor, he was confident to lead the Wizards to win the championship. To the second round of the playoffs. I was surprised at the time and thought it was an impossible task, but I didn’t expect that we exceeded our expectations.”

The reporter asked: "Do you think Jerry is any different from other famous coaches you have worked with?"

"He was bolder than anyone else. He dared to let Tang Yeer play center and me play power forward. No one would ever do that. The result proved that he was right. We relied on small ball tactics to suppress the Mavericks. Our whole team We all admire him.”

The reporter asked: "After entering the playoffs, you became very selfless. What do you think?"

Jordan laughed and said: "I just play according to Jerry's arrangement. If I play like I did when I was with the Bulls, he will quarrel with me."

The reporter interviewed other people, and the topic did not avoid Yang Rui. Everyone believed that he had the greatest credit.

Yang Rui was overjoyed, leading the Wizards to win this championship was more rewarding than his four years with the Raptors. In the Raptors, he just became a famous coach, and now he is the number one in the world in the minds of many people!
