Eight Hundred and Twenty-Two. I Grew up Watching Him Play Basketball...

May 3, 2011.

Today is destined to be a day that will be recorded in the history of NBA and Chinese sports.

At 12:05 noon, the NBA officially announced that Chinese player Sun Ce of the Memphis Grizzlies won the 2010-2011 regular season MVP award at the age of 21 years, 4 months and 26 days.

There were 117 people participating in the voting for this year's regular season MVP. Sun Ce received 105 first-place votes and won the regular season MVP without any suspense.

As early as the third game day of the playoffs, this award has been confirmed. It is only a matter of time before this award is announced. Fans have been waiting for it and started blasting major forums.

Several domestic portals and forums have prepared backup servers, and downtime is inevitable.

I had known for a long time that the regular season MVP would be announced today. Since the morning, the servers of major domestic portals and forums have begun to come under pressure.

When the MVP award was announced, not surprisingly, domestic sports portals and forums collectively collapsed. With the traffic at this time, there was no problem with the listing of several portals and forums.

The United States is more discussing the third foreign MVP, while Grizzlies fans and Sun Ce fans in the United States are trumpeting the fact that Sun Ce won the MVP.

In addition to the heated discussion about the regular season MVP, fans have another thing they are looking forward to.

As early as ten days ago, .T Sports Channel began to warm up. At 6 o'clock in the evening Eastern Time on the day when the regular season MVP is announced, there will be a program about Sun Ce.

At that time, Sun Ce had already had two consecutive triple-doubles since the start of the playoffs, and in the second game he set a record for single-game assists in the playoffs. He was originally the favorite for MVP, because these two games completely solidified his position in the minds of voters. , fans all believe that this program is related to Sun Ce winning the MVP, and it is regarded by many as Sun Ce's early acceptance speech.

Following Sun Ce's acceptance speech when he won the Most Improved Award last time, fans are now even more curious about what program Sun Ce recorded.

Therefore, while there is heated discussion about Sun Ce winning the regular season MVP, many fans are also speculating on what Sun Ce will say on the show.

Sun Ce has done several programs before. In the basketball world, he is known as the "joker who was delayed by basketball". He also calls himself a "people's artist". The fans are ready and waiting for Sun Ce to start showing off.

…

washington state,

Spokane.

It is the third largest city in the northwest United States after Seattle and Portland, and the most developed city in terms of medical care and transportation in the entire Pacific Northwest.

An incredible thing happened here in the basketball world,

There is a medical institution in Spokane that worked for the Seattle SuperSonics team's medical department from 2001 to 2008. It was highly praised. In recent years, the Sonics team's medical team ranked among the top in the NBA. Until 2008, the Sonics moved. , and then broke away from the NBA.

The point is, when Trail Blazers owner Paul Allen put out a bid for the team's medical staff in 2000, this highly regarded medical institution went to bid but was not selected.

Then, in the seven seasons from 2001 to 2008, the Sonics had almost no major injuries. Ray Allen was seriously injured when Bowen stepped on his foot, but he was also healed.

And the Trail Blazers...

Another thing related to the NBA here is that there has been an NBA superstar, and the NBA's historical assists list and steals list remain at the top of the list. John Stockton has stayed here from birth to college graduation. City.

In 2006, John Stockton's third son, David Stockton, was recruited by St. George High School, a prestigious school in his hometown. He became the school's number one star as soon as he entered high school. Stockton's family moved back to his hometown of Spokane to concentrate on his career. Mentoring the third son.

It is said that it is very difficult for the children of superstars, especially the children of superstars in the 1980s and 1990s, to enter the NBA. Stockton has a deep understanding.

Some are because the father is too powerful, and the child may be just averagely powerful, but is put under a lot of pressure, and simply gives up if he can't stand it; some is because the father does not want the child to endure the hardships they have endured; some is because the parents are so rich that the child is not willing to endure hardship at all. .

For example, Stockton's eldest son Houston and second son Michael are very mediocre. The eldest son Houston has average basketball talent. Fortunately, he has good rugby talent and works in a low-level American Football League club. The second son is not good enough and has graduated from high school. He went to Europe and played in Serie A and the Argentine League.

However, Stockton is pleased that his third son can still have some future. Last summer, his third son David was admitted to his alma mater Gonzaga University and has a chance to enter the NBA.

Being in the NBA is already a university's pride, being considered one of the best one thousand or even eight hundred or five hundred players in the world.

David Stockton's performance in his freshman season was okay, but in addition to playing basketball, Stockton still hopes that his third son can study well in school, unlike his second son, who is not good at basketball and can't read well. I didn't study well, and now I can only make a living in a low-level league, and I can't find a serious job.

At noon today, the NBA just announced the regular season MVP. Stockton also paid attention to it, but he didn't know too much. After retiring, he taught his three sons and two daughters to play basketball, and also taught the new double evil spirits of the Jazz. He was completely separated from the NBA and was busy making babies. Now he has six children. The talents of the first three sons were just like that. Stockton had no hope for the youngest son Samuel. He loved him as he pleased. As a result, this kid really didn't play basketball. He ran to play baseball since junior high school. Fortunately, Stockton was not only good at basketball in college, but also good at baseball, so there was no generation gap between father and son.

Two days ago, Stockton's wife took his eldest daughter Lindsay, who was about to graduate from high school, on a graduation trip. The eldest daughter had good grades in high school, excellent SAT scores, and good basketball. She got an invitation from Arizona State University and can now let herself go. Stockton was left alone to take care of David and the youngest son and daughter. Stockton felt that it was so tragic.

At 5:30 in the afternoon, Stockton was preparing dinner for his three children when he suddenly heard the door being pushed open. Stockton knew that it was his hot-tempered little daughter who was also his favorite child who came back.

Sure enough, there was a cry of surprise: "Daddy, what time is it!"

"5:37." Stockton replied helplessly.

"Oh! Fortunately, I made it. There is a show of the Lord today. Fortunately, I didn't miss it. The Lord hasn't been on the show for a long time after the All-Star Game."

Hearing the joyful cheers of his little daughter Laura, Stockton felt heartbroken. When he was playing basketball, he had never seen his daughter chasing stars so crazily.

At this time, the voice of the third son David came: "Laura, please open the door gently. If the door is broken, I have to fix it again!"

"As my dear brother, shouldn't you handle such a broken door?" Laura said in a tone of bullying you.

"Then don't break it on purpose!" David was desperate.

"I didn't mean it... David, go and turn on the TV for me, the Lord's show is about to start!" Laura was still in a hurry.

"You don't have hands?" David said angrily.

"Daddy..."

"Okay, I'll turn it on!"

"Hehe, David, don't you want to watch the Lord's show?"

"There are still 20 minutes, I can even take a shower in time."

"You boys are really unhygienic, you can take a shower in 20 minutes."

"Do you think we take a shower for two hours like you girls? Aren't you afraid of being cooked..."

"..."

"..."

The youngest child of the family who went home together, Samuel, closed the door silently after entering the door. The second sister pushed the door rudely, and the third brother said it, but his hands didn't move at all. The door was open and Samuel didn't want to pay attention to the two of them.

But the TV was already on. After Samuel closed the door, he sat in the corner of the sofa in the living room and listened silently to the second sister and the third brother bickering.

Stockton had already prepared dinner. He put it in the warming cabinet and went to the living room. He heard the conversation between the two children and knew that they would not be able to eat dinner on time.

He was surprised that his three children all liked the Chinese player.

David and Laura were both members of the school team. David played in the NCAA, and Laura was in junior high school and the captain of the school team. Although the youngest son Samuel did not play basketball, it was mainly a talent problem. He probably inherited Stockton's baseball talent but not basketball talent, but he still liked to watch basketball.

Amid the bickering and ignoring of his children, Stockton also sat on the sofa and waited to watch Sun Ce's show at 6 o'clock.

Stockton had heard of Sun Ce. How could he not have heard of him when he was so popular? But he didn't watch many games. In his mind, the only point guards he could watch now were Paul, Hinrich, Bibby, Kidd, and Nash. The others were not good. Now point guards are less and less point guards. There are more and more scoring point guards, which are commonly known as combo guards.

In his eyes, two-way guards are players like Francis and Marbury who can do nothing.

At 6 o'clock in the evening, the screen of .T Sports Channel, which had been playing advertisements for more than ten minutes, switched. First, the words ".T Sports Channel Special Program - Lord Special" appeared.

Then the screen switched to a fat man who was very familiar to Stockton - Charles Barkley.

"Welcome to watch the Lord's Special Program, I am your Sir Charles."

Then the camera zoomed out a little, and Sun Ce next to Barkley appeared in the camera. When Stockton saw the two standing together for the first time, he cursed in his heart with a word starting with "F".

"Isn't this guy a point guard?"

Because he was jealous of several children at home, Stockton never showed it, but he was determined not to pay attention to Sun Ce. It was said that Sun Ce was Jordan's student, so he was even more reluctant to pay attention to him. Except for some awards when he had to see Sun Ce's name, photos, and news, he never watched any of Sun Ce's games.

Stockton's previous impression of Sun Ce was that he was an "all-around" point guard. He knew that Sun Ce was tall, but he was actually one quarter taller than Barkley!

Just as Stockton was surprised, Sun Ce on the TV screen began to read the advertisement: "Welcome everyone to watch the Lord Special Program sponsored by E-Cone Sports. Thank you sponsor XXX for your strong support for this program, thank you for the special sponsorship of the North American version of WeChat, the most popular social software in the country, and thank you for the strong support of Lord Exclusive Peripherals for this program..."

The advertisement made Stockton stunned for a moment. The slogan was so awesome. Stockton really felt that Sun Ce should go into the entertainment industry and play basketball.

Finally, the show got down to business. Barkley asked: "Lord, congratulations on breaking Stockton's playoff assist record last night. I think you will definitely win the regular season MVP this year. This show should be yours." When it comes to MVP, do you want to say something to the fans?”

Barkley read the script so seriously that Stockton felt like he didn't even recognize him. However, Stockton knew that Barkley actually went to Communication University after retiring and got a bachelor's degree in broadcasting and hosting. He was a professional.

"MVP? Oh, if you don't tell me, I would have forgotten about it. I have even forgotten about this. I think I will definitely win the MVP this season, but I haven't paid much attention to this aspect..."

This understatement made Stockton really want to hit someone. It was so pretentious!

The key is that this is a program recorded ten days ago! From the introduction before the start of the program, Stockton learned that this was a program recorded in Denver the day after Sun Ce refreshed his single-game assist record in the playoffs.

But what they said was the truth, and they didn’t deliberately exaggerate the MVP matter. They just ignored it lightly...it felt even more pretentious!

Moreover, if someone is pretending, you can’t refute them.

"Actually, the reason why I recorded the program has nothing to do with MVP. I didn't associate this program with MVP before contacting you. It was your TV station that said it would be broadcast by then... ah, no, it should not be broadcast until today. I recorded this program The original intention was to pay tribute to my childhood idol John Stockton. It is an honor for me to break his record.”

"Eh?"

Stockton had just been pretending to be uncomfortable with Sun Ce, but he didn't expect that Sun Ce would change the subject and start to 'confess' to him.

this……

Stockton saw the three cubs looking at him at the same time after hearing Sun Ce's words, with surprise and surprise in their eyes. Stockton didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

It's rare to be in the limelight in front of the three bastards. He has been retired for several years. Except for Deron, that "student" who usually didn't take him seriously, who occasionally complimented him in the past few years, there are almost no other young talents. He is an idol.

Now a new MVP actually recorded a program "Chasing Stars" after breaking his single-game assist record.

As the greatest traditional point guard in history, Stockton knows that breaking a single-game assists record is rare and requires many opportunities to come together. In other words, this program was a temporary thought... …

In other words, what Sun Ce said is unlikely to be false!

But this made Stockton even more sad. His children were surprised and surprised that the celebrity called him their idol.

The two thoughts were mixed together, and Stockton suddenly had a great liking for Sun Ce at this moment.

When he developed this good feeling, this good feeling was suddenly magnified infinitely!

At this time Barkley asked: "Lord, didn't you say that Nash is your childhood idol and you grew up watching him play?"

"Ah, yes, I like their pass-first point guard. Steve was also my idol when I was a student, and I not only love but also respect him. It was he who brought me into the NBA. I don’t know anything, he taught me how to train...but my dream is not to become the next Steve, but to become an NBA general!”

General!

This nickname Stockton has not been heard for many years. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, his nickname was General, the general who led the team forward. However, in the mid-to-late 90s, he was older. Kidd, Payton, Anfernee Hardaway, Tim Hardaway and other new and mesozoic point guards began to occupy the spotlight. His nickname began to be forgotten. After entering the new century, it was even replaced by Avery Johnson and Ali. Nas and others stole the nickname.

Stockton was shocked that Sun Ce actually said he wanted to be a point guard like him. It seemed impossible at first glance. This is a player who scored 72 points in a single game!

Not to mention that Stockton said these words to Sun Ce in front of the TV. Barkley, who was recording the program at the time and did not have the process of a regular program, was also shocked. He did not expect that the content of the program was actually this.

At this time, Sun Ce snapped his fingers, and a Stockton poster appeared on the large LED screen behind the two. Sun Ce said: "This is the type of point guard I want to be..."

After that, Sun Ce began to explain and analyze, and the LED screen started to play highlights of Stockton's passing, pick-and-roll, shooting and other iconic games, and they were the highlights of the selection, against Magic, Payton, and Tim Hardaway. …

Jordan was intentionally omitted...

Stockton's highlights, coupled with Sun Ce's commentary, made even Stockton's three kids exclaim in surprise, just like Kobe's daughter would dislike him for being a fat man who doesn't understand basketball.

The three kids in Stockton don't think their dad is so great. They live together every day and have long been used to it. They think he is just an ordinary bad old man. They didn't expect that even Sun Ce, a popular fried chicken and the youngest MVP in history, would admire him so much. His father.

As the host, Barkley did not expect that the show would go like this. After Sun Ce explained more than a dozen offensive and defensive shots of Stockton, he asked: "Lord, are you just recording this today? No, you are about to win the MVP award." What to order?”

"What's there to say about MVP? I'll get it sooner or later, just get it early..."

Buckley suddenly had an idea and asked: "Is it possible... that the program you recorded today is a recruitment advertisement?"

"Ah! Charles, you actually guessed it!"

“You still charge money for recording commercials!”

"It's not like I didn't give you money..."

"..."

"..."

…

The program ended with a quarrel between Sun Ce and Barkley. Most of the fans in front of the TV did not expect any content in the program. Fans watched these programs about stars because they wanted to see that star. That’s it, the content doesn’t matter.

They remembered two things. Sun Ce once again acted tactfully. The more he downplayed the MVP matter, the more pretentious the fans felt.

People would be extremely excited if someone else won the MVP, but Sun Ce just said "sooner or later he will get it". This kind of confidence...

Then he gave himself a new nickname: General.

Another point is that Sun Ce once again said, "I grew up watching XXX play", and fans began to complain online again.

On the contrary, the core of the program, the "recruitment advertisement" that was exposed by Buckley, did not pay much attention to the audience in front of the TV.

But the Stocktons care!

Laura moved closer to her father: "Daddy, you are actually the lord's idol! How cool!"

Stockton felt so humbled. Although he was also surprised that Sun Celu "recruited" him on the program, he didn't expect that his own children would be surprised.

After all, your dad is the NBA’s all-time assist leader!

"Dad, if the lord really invites you to be a trainer, will you go?" David was also very excited.

"That's right! Daddy, let's move to Memphis!"

"..."

Stockton feels even more miserable. Just because of the new MVP, he has to move? And the children are teasing them together?

But at this moment, Stockton suddenly came up with an idea: Did that kid make me have a sense of existence in the minds of my children?

This mood makes Stockton's mood even more complicated...

…

At this time, I was eating and watching a show with Zu Ge at home, planning to go out for a walk later and watch the sixth game between the Suns and the Spurs at 9 p.m., which will most likely be the last game.

Suddenly I received a system prompt.

“The legendary point guard’s blessing: John Stockton has been successfully bound.”

"Oh yeah!"

Sun Ce cheered silently in his heart.

The prerequisites for completing this binding are too simple. First, the nickname must be the same as "General", and then Stockton must be in the limelight, let people associate him with Stockton, and let Stockton Tocton took a liking to him.

It might be difficult for another person to think of a solution. Nicknames are not something you give yourself. Like Randolph, who gave himself so many nicknames and none of them became famous.

But all the nicknames O'Neal gave himself were famous because O'Neal loved to be in the limelight.

And Sun Ce is also very pushy, even more so than O'Neal. He has already started a long-term cooperative relationship with the TV station in his rookie year. It is too easy to handle this matter.

This unique recruitment advertisement has been released. According to the feedback received from the system, Stockton has already developed a good impression of him. Although he doesn't know what kind of good impression it is, it is not important.

However, Sun Ce still had to save his face and called Bill Duffy, asking him to send a greeting note to Stockton and make an appointment. After the playoffs were over, he would visit in person.

From what Sun Ce knows, Stockton's favorable impression of him must have been strengthened by this special card, but if he is as disrespectful as Bynum, it will be useless even if he has this special card, and he must do enough etiquette.

After finishing this not-so-difficult matter, Sun Ce temporarily put it aside and adjusted his thinking back to the mode of the playoffs.

Tomorrow is the first game of the series against the Lakers. After the Lakers played the Thunder yesterday, they flew directly from Oklahoma City to Memphis this morning.

Currently, the Grizzlies have an advantage in physical strength.

But relatively speaking, the last game was the Grizzlies on the 27th, and their competitive state may not be as good as the Lakers...

After Sun Ce's attention returned to the upcoming series, he felt so stressed!
