Chapter 713 Most Valuable Player
The championship, the O'Brien Cup, a thing that makes all the teams in the league strive to chase and makes countless players dejected.
Looking at the entire NBA, among the [-] teams, there are not many teams that have won championships.So far, there are a total of twelve teams that have not won a championship, including the Clippers, Raptors, and Jazz.It can be seen how difficult it is to win the championship.
If the team is like this, the situation for the players is even more difficult.Players who can win the championship must either have superior strength or great luck.In many cases, both must be available at the same time.I won’t mention those unknown pawns, they cannot be counted; many superstars who have left a lot of color in the history of the league have never won a championship for life.There are many historical-level stars like Barkley, Malone, Stockton, and Iverson.
From this point of view, An Luo is undoubtedly very lucky.In the first three years of his career, he won two championships.More importantly, An Luo's two championships were not won by luck like McCaw.Whether in 2018 or 2019, he is the core player in the Thunder's championship lineup.Players like him may not be found in the entire NBA's decades of history.
When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, Westbrook and Anlo ran wildly on the court.Seeing Westbrook's actions, An Luo understood Westbrook's thoughts in an instant.He had experienced the other party's crazy way of celebrating more than once, so his first reaction was to run away.However, he still did not escape being treated as a hero by the Arhat.Westbrook, Adams, Paul George, Grant... These guys all stacked up one by one.
Just when An Luo felt that he was about to be crushed into a dumpling skin, Donovan rescued him.However, he also caught fire, and all the players, including An Luo, who stood up, threw Donovan into the sky above the Chesapeake Energy Arena.
While the players recklessly enjoyed the joy of victory, the fans also cheered.The DJ at the scene played the eternal theme song, just like last year, everything converged into that sentence again: We are the champions!
For the Raptors, it is very difficult.After waiting for 25 years, they finally saw hope, but they still couldn't take the final step.In fact, if the finals were one-sided, the Raptors might feel better.Even, the disparity in the score will arouse the Raptors' greater fighting spirit.But the current situation is that they fought the Thunder until the last game, until the last moment.They are only a little away from the championship, which can be said to be within reach.
The mood of the Raptors players is very low.Seeing the scenes of Thunder players celebrating happily, they were extremely envious.But the more envious I feel, the more uncomfortable I feel.Unwilling!Lost!Frustrated!Mixed feelings.
Westbrook patted An Luo on the shoulder, and walked towards the Raptors with him.He hugged Leonard, then Lowry, Gasol Jr...
However, compared with James' open-mindedness last year, Leonard's performance is much worse.He didn't communicate much with Westbrook and others, but just hugged formally, expressionless, and then regretted going to the locker room.
"Congratulations! Ann! You are as good as Yao. Unfortunately, we were very unlucky at that time."
Lowry's performance is much better than Leonard's.Although he looked calm and chatted with An Luo about his past at the Rockets, An Luo could still feel the envy and hidden despair in the other's eyes.
It is despair!As a player who slowly became famous step by step, Lowry is already a full-fledged veteran.In the early days of his career, he wandered many places until he came to the Raptors.He thinks he's going to end up in Toronto, and he's not against that.But this city seems to have been forgotten by God. In the past few years, it was overwhelmed by James, but this year it managed to get ahead and fell in the finals again.It is very likely that Leonard will not stay in Toronto. Next season, the strength of the Raptors will definitely drop a lot, which means that the championship will be farther and farther away from them.
In addition to Lowry, Gasol also looked lonely.For the championship, he left the city that gave him everything.But the result fell short.At his age, he doesn't have many chances to win the championship again!
But this is the NBA, this is basketball.There is always a winner, and there is only one winner.
An Luo and others changed into commemorative shirts with the words of the 2019-2020 NBA championship printed on them as quickly as possible.The blue background, the golden LOGO, and the huge O'Brien Cup are particularly eye-catching.
"Ann, this year's T-shirt is better than last year's!"
"Yes, Russell, they didn't have you in the design this year."
"Hey Ann, what are you talking about..."
……
At this moment, Lei Ting was filled with an unparalleled sense of ease.It is strange that after winning the championship this year, everyone seems not as excited as last year.Everything seems to be a matter of course.Before that, they were actually very scared, afraid of losing the trophy that belonged to them.Now, all the dust has settled.Everyone was finally relieved, and An Luo and Westbrook even started to comment on the commemorative shirts made by the team.
The commemorative shirt is different, the O'Brien Cup will always be the same.
It was still the league's Adam Xiaohua who presented the trophy to the Thunder.He still made a short speech first:
"Gentlemen and ladies, let's cheer on the Oklahoma City Thunder..."
Westbrook took over the trophy from Silver and shared this honor with his teammates.However, Xiao Hua's task tonight is not over yet.When Master Russell walked tremblingly to the center of the arena with another trophy in his arms, the arena fell silent, and the spotlight shone on him.
It is the league's respect for this old man to personally award the trophy named after himself to the player who performed the best in the finals.However, Xiao Hua's appearance made this trophy less flavorful.
"Now, we're going to award the Bill Russell Trophy to the player with the most outstanding performance in the Finals. The most valuable player of the NBA2018-19 Finals is..."
"An~ Luo!"
After finishing speaking, Adam Silver picked up the FMVP trophy and handed it to An Luo.
"Congratulations! Ann! You became the first Chinese player to win the Bill Russell Trophy."
