Chapter 1468 1467. The Current King Is Liu (Please Vote for Me)

What should we do when the winning team in the finals has four MVPs?

No one has a decisive advantage.

Moreover, these four people were not the ones who performed best in the finals. The one who performed best in the finals lost the finals and was not selected by the league voting panel at the beginning.

As for the Lakers' four best players, if you want to choose an MVP, no matter who you choose among the four, it will be difficult to convince the public. Relatively speaking, the most efficient one is Lamar Odom.

David Stern is not Adam Silva. He can't elect Iguodala to win the Finals MVP. Odom played really well, but he is not the decisive factor for the Lakers to win the championship. The decisive factor is Kobe.

However, Kobe's statistics are not good. His shooting percentage is only 43%, and his efficiency is far lower than Gasol, who has similar statistics.

Gasol was beaten by Kwame Brown twice again. Although Gasol beat Kwame Brown in the first three games, Kwame Brown beat Gasol, and the impression he gave was obviously better than that of Gasol. Sol beat Kwame Brown deeply...

After all, with 15 points, 20 rebounds and 4 blocks, Gasol really couldn't do it in the finals.

Yao Ming averaged 15 points, 13 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game... not bad, but he didn't even average 20 points per game. Winning the MVP was too shabby.

When the so-called voting group submitted the list to David Stern, David Stern was going to be depressed.

I have never experienced the embarrassing situation of not knowing how to select players after the Pistons won the 2004 Finals in the original time and space. This time it was embarrassing to encounter the Lakers and select players after winning the Finals.

Moreover, the selection of MVP in the 2004 Finals was already very embarrassing in the original time and space. Ben Wallace, Hamilton, and Billups performed almost the same and had similar statistics. The Lakers are even more embarrassed this time, with four people performing almost the same. …

At this time, let’s look at the data of Liu Mang, who was not included in the candidate list. He averaged 42+7+3, 1.5 steals and 2 blocks per game...

David Stern came up with a magical idea: "Imitate the old president?"

The old president refers to Walton Kennedy, who served as NBA commissioner from 1963 to 1975. Under Kennedy's leadership, he led the players on strike in 1964 after Oscar Robertson tried to transfer but failed. Formulated the first generation of free agent transfer rules to avoid the dissolution of the NBA, and in the subsequent ten years of the term, it reasonably regulated various player benefits, formulated salary cap clauses and transaction salary parity rules, etc. While avoiding irrational and blind salary increases, it also gave players greater power and survived the bankruptcy crisis.

Moreover, Kennedy historically increased the number of NBA regular season games from 65 to 72 and fixed them to 82 games. The two-color league logo, now the NBA logo, began to create NBA basketball culture.

The NBA can have a good and healthy development model now, and this old president is indispensable.

Kennedy led the NBA out of trouble when it was in bankruptcy, but what people talk about most about Kennedy is not his outstanding contribution to the NBA. No one can compare with David Stern for his contribution to the development of the NBA. For example, Kennedy is remembered because he established the "Finals MVP" and awarded it to the first Finals MVP named after the first person in Celtics history and the first person in NBA history at the time. Jerry West, the star of the Celtics' rival Lakers, who was defeated by the Celtics in the finals of the season.

When thinking of this, David Stern felt a little sad. Kennedy is remembered not for his contribution to the league, but for giving Jerry West the Loser MVP on a whim.

As for David Stern, no matter how good he is personally or commercially, the most impressive thing is the things he did for the development of the league that made fans or the media unhappy.

Of course, he still doesn’t know yet that his successor will use alternative methods to prove how well he has done as president for thirty years...

"The fans seem to be looking forward to Ace winning the MVP..." David Stern took off the cap of his pen, wrote a name on the envelope, and handed it to his secretary.

…

Still failed to win the fourth consecutive championship, struggling to catch up 2-3, and finally lost 2-4.

Liu Mang returned to the locker room after the game. He was going to take a shower and went to his villa. He was already on vacation. When his boss called him, he was going to go back to Atlanta to rest with his family for a few days.

Just when Liu Mang was about to take a shower, Lakers staff came: "Is Mr. Liu here?"

"What do you want from me?" Liu Mang's tone was very bad.

The Lakers staff member was so angry that he became angry when he saw Liu Mang's face. This Lakers staff member has been a Lakers fan since he was a child. He lost the championship to the Hawks twice in the past three years, and No. 24 was always against No. 24. He had long hated Liu Mang to death.

But now, the Lakers have won the championship. This staff member is now in a good mood and does not care about Liu Mang. Although he does not know why the league informed the on-site staff to call Liu Mang and others back, he still said politely: "Mr. Liu, the league officials asked me to inform you to return to the court. The main purpose is to find you. I must find you back."

"League officials are looking for me? Could it be that you despicable people want to show off to me after stealing the championship? Your team only has one Finals MVP, and I alone have more than your entire team..." Liu Mang questioned suspiciously.

what to do? I really want to beat this bastard! What is stealing? It was obviously a championship won openly and head-on!

Holding back their anger, the Lakers staff shut up.

"I'll just go. Do you want to go with me?"

Other Hawks players who felt very unhappy after losing the finals did not stop Liu Mang when they saw the Lakers staff being criticized by Liu Mang. They didn’t care what the media would write about them. They were just unhappy when they saw the Lakers. Naturally, they would not want to ask them to go watch the Lakers present the championship trophy.

"Ace, they said they are mainly looking for you. Just go and we won't go." McGrady said for the others.

"Oh... okay." Liu Mang felt so bad, he was about to see the proud face of that insidious snake again.

"Wait! Ace, I'll go with you..." Jason Terry seemed to have a lot of evil intentions, and seemed to feel that something was wrong.

They had won three championships before, and except for Little Blacksmith and Duncan who were unwilling to leave and sit on the bench to watch the Eagles win the championship after losing in the finals, no one else had been called back.

"I'll go too..."

"Boss, I'll accompany you..."

"..."

Grant Hill, Kwame Brown, Marion and Rondo also expressed their intention to follow.

After thinking about it carefully, McGrady also felt that something was wrong, but still didn't want to follow it.

It is true that he helped Liu Mang kill Kobe once last season, which was considered a win, but now that the Lakers have won the championship, Kobe is the most likely to win the MVP. After all, he is the boss and star of the Lakers, and McGrady does not want to see Kobe. Hold the cup.

Although they are good friends, they are also their biggest enemies in their careers.

Now McGrady feels that unwillingness,

Seeing some teammates following Liu Mang to the playing field, and others going to the bathroom with their heads down to take a shower, McGrady punched the closet.

The people in the bathroom heard it and didn't dare to come out. Now Maddie is angry.

Maddie hates me so much!

"If I work harder in the regular season and win one more game, we will have home field advantage. We play so well at home. If we have one more home court, it won't be like this..."

…

…

Liu Mang returned to the court and saw that almost no fans left, and some people made provocative remarks to him. Liu Mang walked to the visiting team's bench expressionlessly and sat down. Others saw Liu Mang's After a moment of hesitation, he also sat down.

Seeing David Stern chatting with Old Buss, Liu Mang felt very unhappy. After thinking about it, he crossed his legs, leaned on the back of the chair, and spread his hands on the top of the chair next to him.

Jason Terry and Kwame Brown saw Liu Mang's sitting posture and followed suit. Rondo felt that he still couldn't be so unsociable, so he also followed suit.

Marion and Grant Hill were speechless. They felt it was inappropriate, but... they still sat down like that.

Liu Mang returned to the scene and naturally attracted people's attention. The fans at the scene saw the sitting postures of Liu Mang and others and quickly understood what Liu Mang wanted to express.

"Isn't he just a champion? What's so great about it."

Obviously, this is what Liu Mang meant.

The fans, who were still happy and restless, began to boo.

The Lakers players, as well as league officials and Lakers management who were celebrating happily in the middle of the court, were a little confused by the sudden boos. They glanced around and noticed the sitting posture of the Eagles boss...

"This bastard!" Kobe wants to eat the gangster!

He determined that Liu Mang was the one who took the lead!

Old Bass smiled helplessly. He probably knew what was going to happen, but...he won the championship, and the rest didn't matter.

David Stern looked at Liu Mang... He really didn't know what Liu Mang was thinking, but he admired Liu Mang very much. He admired anyone who could help the NBA make money.

Kobe was a little uneasy. When he knew that the league called Liu Mang back, he felt something bad. Why would he feel bad after winning the championship? But he just feels bad now...

It was time to award the award. The Lakers players stood in line. David Stern came to the front of the Lakers players and faced the camera. Bill Russell was also waiting next to him. There were two hostesses next to him, each holding a tray. , above which are two glittering trophies.

"Ladies and gentlemen, fans and friends in front of the TV, I declare that the winner of the NBA championship in the 2006-2007 season is... the Los Angeles Lakers!" After David Stern said this, he handed over the championship trophy. When it was handed over to Yao Ming, who was standing at the front, the crowd burst into cheers.

In addition to cheering for his own team, he also yelled at Liu Mang to make him angry.

The Lakers sent Yao Ming to be the first to win the trophy. The purpose was... obvious.

"Ugh..." Seeing the Lakers players as if they were celebrating the New Year in the summer, Liu Mang was very unhappy: "A group of people who have never seen the world are just a championship..."

"Boss, they seem to have 15 championships..." Kwame Brown said honestly when he heard Liu Mang's words.

"Shut up!" Liu Mang glared at Kwame Brown.

After the championship trophy was awarded, it was time to award the Finals MVP. The scene was already boiling. Just like David Stern was entangled, the fans also had their own opinions on the Finals MVP. This finals The Lakers have too many outstanding players. They lost the Finals last year, so Kobe, Odom, and Yao Ming all worked hard to win this time. All three performed well, and Gasol, who just joined, is also great. Excellent part of the time.

At this stage, not many people think that the MVP of the Lakers championship must belong to Kobe. After all, Kobe has won three championships before and is not the MVP, so fans each have their own supporters.

But they are all fans of their own team, and the fans in Staples Center are cheering...

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Most Valuable Player of the 2006-2007 Finals, the winner of the Bill Russell Cup, he is...liumang..." For four consecutive years, except for the change of time, David Si Tern shouted the same name for four consecutive years!

This is the first time in the history of the Finals MVP award!

The cheering fans were stunned when they heard the last name, which sounded awkward in Chinese with an American accent.

"How could it be him? No, why did he come back to the scene? Is it just for this?" The fans at the scene remembered that Liu Mang came back after losing in the finals. They didn't think deeply about it before!

"Yes! Yes! It's exactly what I thought. Ace, I really want you to come back and win the MVP! I knew it!" Jason Terry reacted faster than Liu Mang and jumped up, pulling Liu Mang Walking wildly into the field.

Liu Mang was shocked, he didn't expect this at all!

Although the NBA does not stipulate that the Finals MVP cannot be awarded to the loser, the first Finals MVP was awarded to the losing player, and it has never been awarded since.

As for the Lakers, this news undoubtedly made several players who were looking forward to it feel like they had encountered bad news...

The scene was about to explode and boos began to erupt, but David Stern ignored it. He picked up the Finals MVP trophy from the tray and handed it to Bill Russell.

Jerry Buss smiled helplessly, he knew it would be like this.

Jerry West described to him that when he unexpectedly won the Finals MVP, it was the same as now, he left and was called back.

Bill Russell handed the trophy to Liu Mang and said in Liu Mang's ear while hugging him: "Ace, congratulations to you. You are the first to be the MVP for four consecutive years. It's incredible. Boy, you have to establish A third true dynasty team?"

Only then did Liu Mang react. Holding the Bill Russell Cup, it felt so surreal.

"Real dynasty? Like the Lakers and Celtics?"

Liu Mang smiled at the Lord of the Rings and said nothing. It was better not to talk nonsense in front of such a person.

At this time Liu Mang heard the prompt from the system.

"Ding... the current king is Liu, but the champion is not named Liu, because the host got the loser's MVP, and his talent and skills have triggered the third characteristic exclusive mission: Restoration of the Dynasty."

"Restoration: The NBA dynasty established by the host from 2003 to 2006 has become history, and a new career chapter has begun. As the fallen king, the host needs to start a new dynasty in his subsequent career. Mission goal: Get the next one The overall champion has no time limit. When the task is completed, the next stage of the task will be started."

"The task of imprisoning the second characteristic has not been completed, and now comes the third characteristic task? Doesn't it have to be done in order? In other words, it is possible that the fourth characteristic task will also be activated, but it is not triggered? Wait, also That is to say, if you don’t get the loser MVP, this talent skill will not be complete? Continuous execution? Is this really heavenly execution..."

In Liu Mang's dazed state, after the award ceremony was over, the reporters could no longer hold themselves back and came up to surround the players on the field.

Mainly two numbers 24.

"Mr. Bryant, would you feel disappointed if you won the championship but didn't win the MVP?"

"I don't care, I don't care at all, MVP doesn't care at all to me, I only care about the championship, the loser MVP is always the loser, we are the winner... and 4 is always bigger than 3."

He said this, but Kobe was bleeding in his heart...

Especially when he heard the arrogant words of a certain player No. 24 who stayed at the scene and was surrounded by reporters, he found for the first time that winning the championship felt like losing, and... he wanted to beat up the gangsters more than losing. !

When Liu Mang came to his senses and was surrounded by reporters, he loudly said: "Does the MVP go to the best player? Of course it's right to give it to me. You see, the No. 24 jersey, the MVP jersey..."
