Chapter 624 Come On! East Finals!
? Afternoon, June 7, New York.
At the press conference site carefully arranged by the Knicks uniform team, Lin Yi officially took over the Podorov Cup, which symbolizes the player's highest personal honor, from the hands of league president David Stern.
Both the NBA regular season MVP trophy.
three years ago.
When David Stern presented the award to Lin Yi for the first time, perhaps Stern himself did not expect that he would present this honor to Lin Yi for three consecutive years.
Perhaps, this is the arrangement of fate?
Stern's presidential career started with Bird's three consecutive MVPs, and now, as he is about to retire, he personally shaped a three-consecutive MVP player.
At the scene, more than 100 photographers took photos of this historic scene. In order to allow the reporters enough time to shoot, the process of handing over the trophy between Stern and Lin Yi lasted a full 108 seconds.
At this moment, people unanimously realized that it was time for the NBA to turn the page.
Michael Jordan, the "God of Basketball" who dominated the 1990s, may have felt unwilling when he saw the news of Lin Yi's three consecutive MVPs, but Jordan knew very well that it is better not to add chaos to the league at this time.
Lin Yi wants to surpass himself?
It won't be too late to talk about this topic after the number of his championships comes up.
What about Russell, Chamberlain, and Bird?
Jordan knew that he was the god of basketball.
"If I stand up and criticize the league at this time, the old man will definitely kill me before retiring." Jordan's emotional intelligence is not high, but he also has a tacit understanding with Stern.
Just let people talk about it.
The more they talk, the more they think I'm great.
LeBron James can't surpass me, and neither can Lin Yi.
"He's really amazing." Off the award stage, Dayao thought with emotion.
It is not easy for Chinese players to survive in the NBA.
But at this moment, Lin Yi is already the MVP winner of three NBA regular seasons.
Millions of eyes are watching him,
The focus of the whole world is gathered here. He is the darling of New York, he is the hope of Chinese basketball, and he is the devil in the eyes of all NBA players in this era.
The road ahead is still long.
But all Lin Mi firmly believed that Lin Yi would not stop there.
Climbed a peak.
There is still another peak.
Now Lin Yi would not claim to be number one in active service.
Wait.
When the New York dynasty is built, I will tell the whole world with my actions.
I am the man who wants to be the first man in NBA history.
Glory, not showing off.
After Lin Yi began to deliver his acceptance speech, Stern, who stepped aside, looked at Lin Yi's tall back and fell into deep thought.
On the night of the 6th, Stern convinced himself.
When a person makes a decision, he never knows what will happen in the next second of the decision.
Stern has brought the NBA to where it is today through his own painstaking efforts, and now, it may be time to say goodbye.
Stern is very satisfied with his career as president.
"I am very happy to be able to deliver such acceptance speeches for three consecutive years."
"If I can...I hope I can continue next year." On the podium, Lin Yi said with a smile.
Stern, who was immersed in memories, almost fell off the podium after hearing Lin Yi's words.
What?
Three consecutive MVPs are not enough, you want four consecutive?
Did you know that in the history of the NBA, no one has ever won four consecutive MVPs?
Do you want to use all seniors as your background board?
Stern was tempted to swear.
God knows how much effort Stern put in to make Lin Yi three consecutive MVPs.
But as if he didn't want to interfere too much with the game, Stern always felt that since it should be Lin Yi's, then give it to him.
But... this kid actually wants to be the MVP for the fourth time, can you believe it?
Although Lin Yi on the podium quickly said that he was joking.
But... Stern is very clear that this kid always likes to make jokes.
"Maybe I'm really old?" Stern looked at Lin Yi kindly.
Boy, do you want four consecutive MVPs?
If you have the ability, come out with a 40+ triple-double next season!
If you can do it, it doesn't matter if you get four consecutive MVPs!
Stern, who wanted to officially announce his retirement on February 1 next year after this year's playoffs, decided to delay his retirement for a few months.
Because he wants to last until the end of next season.
He wanted to watch for a while.
Not as a bystander.
But as a decision maker.
It's a pity that Lin Yi didn't know what the little Jewish old man was thinking.
Otherwise, Lin Yi will definitely try.
A 40+ triple-double is indeed a nearly impossible task.
But if Stern made it clear, Lin Yi would also read it.
On the podium, Lin Yi thanked his parents, the country, his teammates, and everyone...
Accept worship from all directions!
Curry in a suit is as happy as a schoolboy.
Ayesha on the side doesn't understand what Lin Yi's award has anything to do with you.
DeRozan also rushed to the awards ceremony.
In DeRozan's words, being pricked by Lin Yi more will help him improve.
Do you think you can be complacent if you hit 20+ data?
Oh, look at Griffin, and look at Lin Yi!
"I never thought Lin Yi was unattainable." DeRozan said to a friend beside him.
"The more powerful he is, the more I want to surpass him. Even if it's impossible, I want to try!" DeRozan clenched his fists.
Three consecutive MVPs, this precedent in the Stern era, God knows how many young players have already ignited the blood in their chests!
Anthony Davis, who was on vacation in Cleveland, quietly made a wish in his heart after watching Lin Yi's award ceremony.
The nickname "American Lin Yi" is good, but one day, he will let people call himself Anthony Davis!
Antetokounmpo, who was living his last student life at Davidson, gave up on the idea of going to New York to watch a Knicks game.
Because from now on, it's time for special training.
James used to think that Lin Yi was the prey and he was the hunter.
But now, the hunter and the prey have switched identities, but the little emperor will not be afraid of it.
Because this year is the best year for the Heat.
The 28-year-old James has reached the peak of all indicators, MVP... I will talk about it later!
But the champion can't wait any longer.
"Lin, do you have anything to say to the fans?" After Lin Yi's speech time ended, the host asked curiously.
"It's too early to say something now, after all, we have only reached the semifinals of the division now." Lin Yi said with a smile.
Stern at the side finally heaved a sigh of relief. This kid has finally learned to keep a low profile.
"However, I think the fans can prepare for the cheers and applause first."
"Because Chris (Paul) was still asking me two days ago whether to eat hot pot or fried chicken in this year's Champions Parade." Lin Yi added.
Stern: "..."
enough!
Believe it or not, I will take back your MVP trophy!
Stern had just finished praising Lin Yi in his heart, but he didn't expect Lin Yi to start committing suicide immediately.
Even the Champions Parade is out, do you really think you are the champions?
Well, actually... Stern likes this Knicks better, too.
never mind!
This kid has this kind of style. If he speaks honestly, the fans will not get used to it.
The Knicks players on the scene cheered in unison, but the reporters did not expect that Lin Yi would openly stand up...
Some good people are looking forward to Lin Yi's failure to win the championship, because then he can go crazy.
However, people clearly did not hear clearly.
Lin Yi just conveyed my heartfelt wish.
Paul in the audience looked confused... Fuck, although Paul did say this two days ago, Paul never expected that Lin Yi would "sell out" himself.
But so what?
As the fourth head of the Knicks, I, Chris Paul, must also contribute.
This year, the Knicks players don't want to leave themselves behind.
Just kidding, 75 wins but no championship, even if you don't stand, you will be sprayed to death.
At this point in the game, do the Knicks have other pursuits besides the championship?
If they don't win the championship, Lin Yi, the MVP, will be the first to bear the brunt.
Three MVPs in a row, but only one championship... It's not justified.
...
Lin Yisan's news about the MVP had to occupy the headlines in a short time.
Russell and Bird immediately congratulated Lin Yi.
This kind of celebrity who still makes money after retirement obviously disdains to find a sense of existence through Heilin Yilai.
Oscar Robertson was speechless.
Am I short of money?
It seems... really short of money.
Of course, Big O doesn't want to make trouble for nothing.
Otherwise, it would be uncomfortable to be pierced by Lin Yi.
So Big O decided, it's time to hack Curry!
After all, who made the komis so weak?
And Curry's round trip this year is not convincing.
On May 8, the G2 game between the Knicks and the Nets in the Eastern Conference semifinals started at Madison Square Garden.
Before the game, Lin Yi showed off his three MVP trophies on the spot.
In the stands, Lin Yi's manager, Zhong Muchen, was very glad that Lin Yi's trophy was kept by him, otherwise Xiao Zhong believed that Lin Yi would definitely not be able to find his trophy...
Madison tonight, all New York fans are like pilgrims.
The light that hit Lin Yi was like a holy light to Knicks fans.
And when the holy light illuminated the whole of New York, all the Knicks fans were shouting, it's time to ride the "polar bear" and go galloping on the battlefield!
Well, because the owner of the Nets, Prokhorov, is Russian, Knicks fans affectionately called the Nets the "Polar Bear".
The cheers of MVP and MVP burst the audience.
Ewing, who came to watch the match, touched Lin Yi's trophy fondly, so envious... What should I do if I really want to take one away?
At this moment, Ewing felt that he was a fart legend!
Because even if Lin Yi retires now, this kid now has three MVP trophies and a championship trophy!
And these... are things Ewing never got.
Oakley on the side handed Ewing a banana, and Ewing's depressed mood felt a little better.
Otherwise... this gorilla really wants to snatch Lin Yi away!
At the commentary seat, Li Ruoqi curiously asked Wang Meng the meaning of Lin Yi's three consecutive MVPs.
"Is that the concept of the triple best actor?" That's amazing! Li Ruoqi thought unknowingly.
"No...it's about the same as the three consecutive Best Actor Oscars." Wang Meng said after thinking about it.
Li Ruoqi was stunned.
Triple Oscar?
Li Ruoqi opened her mouth slightly, staring intently at Lin Yi who was warming up on the court.
"It seems...it needs a few more signatures." Li Ruoqi thought to herself.
...
Tonight, the Nets soldiers are desperate.
In the G1 game, they lost to physical fitness.
And the G2 game... Even if they are optimistic, the Nets players don't think they have a chance to beat the Knicks.
Because the Knicks are different tonight.
How terrifying is Lin Yi who has the prestige of three consecutive MVPs?
In the stands of Madison Square Garden, Bilson, a young New York fan who put on the 277th Lin Yi jersey, shouted loudly, "Today is Lin-Ultimate Pervert-Yi!"
A thousand miles away!
The Knicks crushed the Nets.
94 to 127!
In the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Knicks lead the Nets 2-0!
Next, this round of the series will be moved to the home court of the Nets.
Well...still home to the Knicks.
Nets and Knicks talk about home field advantage?
Heh, even if they are number one in the league, they cannot have home court advantage against the Knicks.
On the 13th, the Knicks beat the Nets 119-105.
On the 15th, the Knicks completed a sweep. After defeating the Nets 141 to 107, they advanced to the Eastern Conference finals ahead of schedule!
Two sweeps!
Buckley joked that even the Germans in World War II were not so fast!
This is Lin Yi's third Eastern Conference Finals in his career.
Last year, the Knicks fell here.
Last summer, Lin Yi made a promise with Paul.
Come on, stop dawdling.
So what are you waiting for, LeBron?
James: Damn, we also want to sweep, but what if the Pacers are very strong?
Lin Yi: Oh, that's it, then I'll go play for a while LOL, then call me!
James: …
And just when the whole United States felt the shock brought by the Knicks.
On the 17th, the second team to advance to the conference finals also appeared.
The Spurs narrowly beat the Mavericks in three overtimes!
Although, in this round of the series, the points difference in each game is within 5 points, but it seems that the gods are also looking after this Spurs......
The Spurs finally eliminated the Mavericks with a total score of 4 to 1, and Nowitzki's twilight hero's back after the game cried countless cows in front of the TV.
Kidd didn't want to wait any longer. After the game, Kidd announced his retirement.
The former No. 1 point guard in the league has no championship in his life!
It’s time for the Mavericks to make changes. Stoudemire’s state has declined a lot this year, and Nowitzki will be a year older next season.
Where will the future of Cosmic Cow go?
However, no matter what, Lin Yi believed that people like Nowitzki would not be defeated.
Let's fight again next year, old driver.
Another ten or eight years.
On the 19th, after six games, the Heat ended their series with the Pacers.
LeBron, who advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals, did not relax.
Because he knows very well... In the Eastern Conference finals, the Heat's playoffs this year are just the beginning.
Nice fight.
Three battles!
Eastern Finals BO3!
Who is the king of the East?
On the other side, the opponents of the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals are also released.
After a seven-game battle with the Lakers, the Thunder made it through.
Can Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook team up to take down the Holy City?
Soldiers against soldiers!
Will be right!
King, you should face the king!
...
PS: The third update! Two more to go!
