One Thousand Eight Hundred and Fourteen. The First Person to Be “Officially Certified”!

47 points, 32 points, 32 points, 43 points, these are the scores of Sun Ce in the four games of the finals, averaging 38.5 points per game, 3 triple-doubles in 4 games... In terms of data, Sun Ce's data in this finals has only been matched by 4 people since detailed data statistics were available.

One is Duncan, who averaged 24 points, 17 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 5.3 blocks in the 02-03 season finals.

One is O'Neal, who averaged at least 35+12+3+2 in the finals every year during the three consecutive championships.

One is Jordan, who averaged 35+ in many finals and 40+.

One is Magic Johnson, who had a crazy performance of averaging 24 points, 9.5 rebounds and 13 assists in the finals.

No one else can compare with Sun Ce!

The media interview time after the game, that is, the time for the NBA official jury to award the finals MVP, is actually just a formality.

15 minutes after the game, the preparations for the award ceremony were completed, and league officials signaled the Grizzlies players to take their positions and prepare for the award ceremony.

When David Stern came out with Bill Russell and two hostesses holding trays, his face was smiling like a chrysanthemum again.

Although the finals ended in 4 games, which was a bit short, the money earned was more than the seven-game battle between the yellow and green in 2010! The ticket price for each game is high! And because players do not receive salaries in the playoffs, the league's share of playoff ticket sales has increased from 6% of the regular season to 45%. On average, the league can get more than 10 million US dollars per game in this year's finals. According to data from the end of ticket sales, the league has received more than 42 million US dollars in ticket revenue for this finals!

This is more than 12 million more than the less than 30 million US dollars shared by the finals tickets last season!

There is also the overseas ratings. Kobe and James have strong overseas appeal, but compared with Sun Ce, there is a clear gap. This is understandable in Asia, but the ratings in Europe have almost doubled compared to last season's finals!

Perhaps the appearance of such an epic scene as a sweep of the championship has driven the ratings, but in the feedback from online voting and media interviews, more people want to watch NBA because of Sun Ce's return to the finals.

The reason is simple. There must be basketball fans and basketball enthusiasts in Europe. They are tired of the Americans dominating the basketball world after Jordan dominated the Olympics and want to see someone different.

And Sun Ce,

is the one they are looking forward to!

Europe has always been the "nail household" of NBA globalization. Basketball has always been tepid in Western Europe and Northern Europe except Spain, France, Italy, and the United Kingdom, and it has not been able to pry open the big cake of football in Europe.

This is what David Stern has been working hard on. The reason why he spared no effort to recommend hot rookies in Europe and Asia to teams with high draft picks is to use these players to open up the basketball market in the country where the players are.

The most successful one among them is Yao Ming, and the second most successful ones are Deng Yingqiao and Gasol.

Now, Sun Ce not only continues the market opened by these people in China, Asia and parts of Europe, but also expands it further!

When he came to the award ceremony stage, David Stern looked at the scene... Why is it empty again? The second time in three years! Last time, the Heat fans were driven away, and this time the Bulls fans were driven away... Fortunately, there are still two or three thousand passers-by who want to watch the Grizzlies award ceremony, and more than 3,000 Grizzlies fans who got tickets. At least one-third of the seats are occupied.

This did not affect David Stern's mood. Without saying much, David Stern thanked the fans and directly presented the award: "Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of the NBA 2014-2015 season is-Memphis Grizzlies!"

Amid the cheers of the fans on the scene, David Stern handed the O'Brien Cup to Paul George.

Speaking of sacrifice, the biggest sacrifice this season is Paul George. Before he renewed his contract with the Grizzlies last summer, the media predicted that he would average 25+ points per game after changing teams, but he only averaged 15.5 points per game when he stayed in the Grizzlies. Although he had nearly 8 assists per game, 15+5+8 and 25 points per game... the feeling when showing the data is still much different.

However, when Paul George got the O'Brien Cup, he didn't have the slightest idea of ​​being dissatisfied with his data. In fact, he didn't have such an idea. At most, when he saw the media "regret", he would look forward to it.

After the trophy was passed around among the players, it came to Carter. Carter, who originally thought of "enjoying basketball", changed his mind at this moment after experiencing such a dream season... I don't know what will happen in the future, maybe he will still enjoy basketball, but at this moment, he enjoyed the joy of winning so much that he cried miserably.

On the contrary, Richard Jefferson and Stoudemire, who had been waiting for a year in the Grizzlies, were much calmer, just holding the trophy and laughing non-stop.

Then the coaching staff took turns holding the O'Brien Cup for the reporters to take pictures.

After receiving the trophy, Stockton ran to the sidelines like a naughty boy and boasted to the livid Malone that he was going to get another ring, which made Malone secretly hate why he stayed at the scene...

Mallon had mixed feelings the moment before. He was somewhat happy that the Bulls lost the finals, but he was also very sorry that he, as a trainer, did not get the ring... But now he had no emotions at all. If it weren't for Stockton's viciousness, he really wanted to duel with Stockton!

The trophy was passed around, and Paul George finally gave the trophy to Randolph, the team's big brother.

David Stern announced the second award: "Ladies and gentlemen, the player who was elected the Most Valuable Player of the 2014-2015 Finals and won the Bill Russell Cup is - our lord, Sun Ce!"

When Sun Ce's name was called at the end, the Beijing accent was completely different from a few years ago. It was obvious that he had secretly found a Chinese teacher from Beijing to learn how to pronounce Sun Ce's name.

There was no way, Sun Ce won too many awards!

When David Stern handed the Bill Russell Cup to Russell, who then handed it to Sun Ce, the more than 3,000 Grizzlies fans at the scene reached the climax stage, and even the thousands of passers-by fans who came to watch the game and the celebrities who were just joining in the fun or who really loved basketball were boiling!

Sun Ce's second regular season MVP + Finals MVP in his career!

At this moment, Sun Ce surpassed Kobe's number of Finals MVPs and tied Duncan's number of Finals MVPs, the first in active service!

…

…

With 75 wins and 7 losses in the regular season and 16 wins and 0 losses in the playoffs, the Grizzlies won the most dreamy championship with the craziest regular season + playoffs performance in history, and the heat lasted for a long time after the end of the finals.

Since the end of the finals on June 8, the Grizzlies have continued to dominate the most popular columns in sports news.

First, after Sun Ce won the championship, he answered the team led by three contemporary stars, "I don't give it to you, you can't take it away", which attracted a wave of fans in Jay Chou's fan circle.

Sun Ce did what he said. After he entered the NBA, except for Leonard who won a championship with +24, the other new generation players, even if they are now entering the golden period of their careers, seem to be close to the championship, but in fact they have nothing to do with it.

Then the Grizzlies won the championship with 91 wins and 7 losses in a single season. This winning rate of the regular season + playoffs is definitely unprecedented. According to the probability model analysis of experts, there is no possibility of success in the future.

Even if the Grizzlies repeat this lineup, it is unlikely, because the opponents already know them. Perhaps the Grizzlies will still be the biggest favorite to maintain the lineup, and there is a high probability of successfully defending the title.

And if they continue with this lineup, there may be something more exaggerated than the peak Big Three.

And there is money... According to Forbes Sports' calculations after the finals, the Grizzlies' salary + luxury tax for players this season reached 160 million US dollars, which is not far from the limit they can afford.

The key point is that all teams are eyeing the absolute free market year of 2016. Even if the Grizzlies continue with this lineup, playing so many games every year, injuries will be a risk. Retaining the core is the fundamental.

The media is crazy about the "strongest season in history" and fans are also crazy about it online. The servers of major sports websites and forums have almost crashed.

The day after winning the championship, the team celebrated; on the 10th, Sun Ce followed the boss to attend some banquets; on the 11th, the Grizzlies' championship parade... The politicians in Memphis and its surrounding cities are both happy and sad. In order to prepare for this welcoming parade, they have prepared for a long time, but they are afraid that the preparation is in vain. They have not had a good rest since the Grizzlies entered the finals...

After the championship parade, the heat of the Grizzlies finally cooled down a little. The Chicago joint rookie tryout on June 12 and the Oklahoma City second joint rookie tryout on June 14 are about to begin.

The fans came back to their senses from the Grizzlies' dreamy reign of winning the championship this time, and found that the 14-15 season has ended. The prequel of the new season, the draft, will start in half a month!

But just when the popularity of the Grizzlies and Sun Ce was slightly declining, someone added fuel to the fire!

"I still can't believe it's true. The Bulls lost. I never thought that the Bulls would lose the finals, but this scene happened. There is no way. The lord is the best player in the world. I am glad that I can receive him again in the White House."

The Bulls' die-hard fan and the president of the United States sent such a tweet on Twitter, which is regarded as the first "official certification" of active players.

Maybe the president is just a fan's emotion. After all, he has been a professor at the University of Chicago for 12 years, but this is undoubtedly a bombshell in the fan community. The main reason is that the media and some "professional fans" and experts like to over-interpret. The big Vs of various forums, portals, and social media are also hyping it up. At this time, any news related to Sun Ce will become hot news in the sports circle!
