NBA: Top 3D talents to start

There was not much suspense. On June 6, in Game 16 of the Finals, at the home court of the Knicks, the cheers of fans in New York continued from the beginning of the game to the end, wave after wave.

After more than 20 years, they finally waited for the third championship in team history.

111:90，尼克斯在自己的主场没有任何波澜地取得最终胜利，总比分4:1淘汰火箭队，捧起1994-95赛季总冠军奖杯。

In this game, Olajuwon did everything he could, making 30 of 19 shots, 7 of 4 free throws, scoring 42 points, 15 rebounds and 8 assists in a quasi-triple-double, but he was still powerless.

尼克斯一方，王峰20投14中，三分球9中6，罚球5中5，得到39分12篮板11助攻的三双数据，尤因则15投7中得到22分11篮板。

Olajuwon can't support alone, even if he plays a dominant performance, there is no way.

When the game ended, Madison Square instantly turned into a sea of ​​joy, ribbons were flying, fans welcomed and encouraged, and all the players rushed to the field to hug each other.

On the bench, head coach Riley, assistant coach Van Gundy and others also hugged and congratulated each other with smiles on their faces.

The Knicks' championship is really not easy. Last season's finals were only one step away from the championship, but they were defeated by the Rockets in two consecutive rounds. People are crazy.

In contrast, the process of winning the championship this season has been a bit too smooth.

首轮横扫凯尔特人，次轮4:1淘汰公牛，东决4:0横扫魔术，总决赛4:1击溃火箭。

Throughout the playoffs, it was almost impossible to find a team that could compete with the Knicks.

Of course, everyone knows why this is so.

Wang Feng, who broke out in the middle of the season, is the main reason for the Knicks to win the championship.

Leaving the regular season aside for now, after entering the playoffs, Wang Feng is like an unsolvable existence, averaging 30 10 10 quasi-triple-double data per game, which is unique in the entire league history.

The Knicks, who already have the ability to compete for the championship, get such a monster, it's like cheating. It should be strange if they can't win the championship.

"No matter what this summer, Wang Feng must be kept!"

At this moment, whether it is the Knicks coaching staff, the management or the team owner, they all made the same decision in their hearts.

……

The award ceremony of the championship was put in a few minutes later. Before that, the players would return to the locker room to celebrate winning the championship, spray champagne and smoke cigars to celebrate, then take a comfortable shower, and finally return to the stadium where the podium was built to accept the award trophy.

To be fair, no one in the league is more familiar with this set of procedures than Wang Feng.

Before coming to this era, Wang Feng had won the championship seven times, and the celebration of winning the championship has become dull.

In this era, even Jordan has only won three consecutive championships.

After pretending to celebrate with his teammates, he was finally able to leave the locker room to present the awards.

A group of players walked up to the podium excitedly. NBA Commissioner David Stern handed over the long-prepared championship trophy, the O'Brien Cup, to Ewing, the leader of the Knicks.

As Ewing raised the trophy high, the atmosphere of the audience instantly rose to a new height, like boiling water. ....
"Well done, young man, I am optimistic about your future development in the league, keep working hard."

During the celebration of winning the championship, Stern took the initiative to find Wang Feng and said these words in a low voice.

Wang Feng was slightly taken aback, then nodded with a smile.

He knew that Stern had already regarded himself as the key to opening up the Chinese market.

This is still very important to Wang Feng. In this era where foul actions are far superior to the future, with the blessing buff of Stern's father, it will save a lot of things.

Wang Feng is very clear that he can move across the league this season.

On the one hand, he is strong enough, and on the other hand, because he has joined the league for too short a time, many teams have not had time to thoroughly analyze and study their own style of play, and study and formulate targeted defenses.

To put it simply, the intensity of defense that Wang Feng is currently receiving, even in the playoffs, has not reached the level that Jordan faced on the court.

But as his reputation in the league gradually develops, especially after he truly serves as the real core leader of a team, he will definitely be targeted frequently.

Although Wang Feng is not very scared, he is not a masochist either. If he can avoid being restrained, it is definitely best to avoid it.

Since Stern is optimistic about himself, he definitely does not want to see himself being fouled by various malicious fouls in front of the TV broadcast, especially in front of the Huaguo market, so the intensity of whistle-blowing and punishment will inevitably be adjusted.

……

After the championship trophy is awarded, there is another more important award, which is the Finals MVP, also known as FMVP.

When seeing the FMVP trophy being presented on stage, Ewing really became nervous.

He is very eager for this FMVP trophy, because in terms of personal honor, he is really too poor.

After losing to David Robinson in the regular season MVP competition this season, Ewing felt that it would be difficult for him to compete for MVP in the future.

Then the FMVP trophy is the best way for him to improve his historical status.

But the problem is, this time in the finals, who is the Knicks' best player is obvious to all.

In 5 games, Wang Feng averaged 37 points, 9 rebounds and 9.6 assists per game. With quasi-triple-double data and super high scoring, his performance can be described as perfect.

On the other hand, Ewing's average of 23 points, 10.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game is not bad, but at most it is quite satisfactory, and there is no way to compare with Wang Feng.

Just looking at the data, the FMVP must belong to Wang Feng, there is no suspense.

But Ewing still has a little expectation. After all, he is the star of the Knicks, and more importantly...

"The player who won the finals FMVP is - Patrick Ewing!"

Listening to the award presenters announcing the name of the FMVP and awarding the trophy to Ewing, who looked ecstatic, even he himself might be a little unbelievable, Wang Feng had a calm expression.

He was not surprised by this result, or he had expected it.

FMVP is not a rigorous award.

Over the years, there have always been controversial awarding cases.

这其中最有名的当然就是14-15赛季总决赛场均16.3分5.8篮板4助攻的伊戈达拉。

The selection of FMVP is selected by 11 members of the media after the finals. The voting time is only ten minutes from the end of the game to the start of the awards ceremony, and there is no weighted selection of the first ballot and the second ballot. The method is to directly state who you think is the FMVP winner, and the one with the highest number of votes will be elected. ....
Such a situation is bound to occur in the selection that is seriously lacking in rigor, and it will also lead to the possibility of black-box operations.

Just like the year Iguodala won the finals MVP, some conspiracy theorists believed that the reason why Curry was not elected was that Nike Adi manipulated the voting media members, because Curry’s sneaker contract was signed with Under Armour. It is not the two major sports brands of Nike and Adidas.

As for Wang Feng's loss to Ewing, it is even simpler, just his identity as a Chinese is enough.

The 11 members of the media who participated in the voting were all local journalists from the United States.

Besides, Ewing has all the advantages in all aspects except that his personal data is not as good as Wang Feng.

Not only is he a representative star in the United States, but he has also played for the Big Apple for many years. His popularity in the league is second only to Jordan, and he is loved by the mainstream media.

To put it simply, there are many reasons why Ewing won the FMVP, the only reason is that he did not perform in the finals.

Of course, not completely.

According to the media reporters involved in the selection, he chose to vote for Ewing,
It is because Ewing confronted Olajuwon throughout the finals and made a major contribution to limit the opponent.

Even his poor scoring data is because he put more energy on dealing with the big dream, and he was moved by this willingness to sacrifice for the team's victory.

Of course, just listen to this statement as a joke.

Olajuwon averaged 5 points, 34.6 rebounds and 14 assists in 7 games. During the finals, he played the most representative performance of his career. If this is also called the limit of success, it is estimated that many stars in the league hope that Ewing can come Limits limit them.

This is as funny as the future media praised Iguodala for his very successful defense against James and awarded him the FMVP award.

Successfully defending James averaged 35.8 points, 13.3 rebounds and 8.8 assists per game, which is indeed "successful".

Because he was mentally prepared, Wang Feng didn't feel angry about it, but the presentation of the FMVP award made him more determined to leave the Knicks in the summer.

He needs a team built entirely with him as the main core, only in this way will no one use various excuses to try to discredit him when he defeats the Jordan Dynasty.

……

Ewing, who won the MVP of the finals, was so excited that he shed tears holding the FMVP trophy. Those who haven't watched the game may really think how much effort Ewing made for the Knicks to win the championship.

After a "touching" acceptance speech, the championship award ceremony finally came to an end.

For the Knicks, there are still many things to do in the subsequent championship games, interviews and so on.

But for the NBA, the 1994-95 season was completely over.

All teams must start to pay close attention to the drafting work for the draft conference and the reinforcement and trade work after the opening of the free market.

Almost all teams with salary space are eyeing Wang Feng, who shines in the playoffs. Who doesn't want such a super invincible striker?

The first to start action, of course, is the near-water Knicks.

In the few days after the finals, the Knicks management tried to get in touch with Wang Feng, wanting to talk to Wang Feng about the renewal of the contract.

However, Wang Feng's answer made them dumbfounded. ....
"Sorry, I have no intention of renewing my contract with the Knicks at this time."

After saying this, Wang Feng hung up the phone directly.

"What's wrong?"

Wang Xiao looked at Wang Feng's action of hanging up the phone resolutely, and asked a little strangely.

"The Knicks called. They wanted to renew my contract. I said no."

Wang Feng said lightly.

"Patter..."

The tool in Wang Xiao's hand fell to the ground, and he stared at Wang Feng with his mouth wide open in astonishment.

"You declined the Knicks' offer to re-sign? Why?"

"The reason is very simple." Wang Feng said as a matter of course, "I want a maximum salary contract, and the current Knicks can't afford it."

At this moment, Wang Feng and Wang Xiao are both in a shop in Chinatown, New York.

This place was bought by Wang Feng after receiving the salary from the team. After the decoration, this place will open a Chinese restaurant for Wang Xiao's father.

This was Wang Feng's gift to Wang Xu in return for his kindness in taking him in.

He still remembers the embarrassing situation in which he was almost frozen to death in the cold winter months when he was first sent here by the system.

Wang Feng's annual salary in the Knicks is 145 million, which is not too much, especially after tax deduction is only a few hundred thousand, but the hundreds of thousands in 95 was already a huge sum of money. A shop in Chinatown is not too simple.

Wang Xu's family are all good people, so doing such a small favor is nothing more than a little effort for Wang Feng now.

"Oh, it's okay to leave. The Knicks are really not interesting. You were so strong in the finals. In the end, the FMVP was awarded to Ewing. It is simply blatant discrimination."

Mention

Seeing this matter, Wang Xiao still felt aggrieved, but immediately he felt a little bit reluctant.

"Does that mean you're leaving New York?"

There is only one team in New York, the Knicks. If Wang Feng does not stay in the Knicks, he will inevitably leave for other teams in other cities.

"Yeah." Wang Feng rubbed Wang Xiao's head and said with a smile, "It's okay, even if you join another team, you still have the chance to play games in New York every season, and you can also visit me during your holidays. "

……

New York Knicks, the general manager of the team looked at his assistant with wide eyes in astonishment.

"What did you say?"

He couldn't believe his ears.

Wang Feng actually refused to renew the contract so simply?

"You didn't tell him that the price is negotiable, can we give him a maximum quotation contract as the salary space allows?"

"He never gave me a chance to say it," the assistant said with a wry smile.

The general manager frowned and remained silent.

Unexpectedly, the team encountered difficulties in the first step after winning the championship.

If Wang Feng's contract cannot be successfully renewed, the strength of the Knicks is bound to be seriously affected, and it may be difficult to continue to defend their title next year.

What makes him even more troublesome is that Wang Feng is not alone in the trouble of contract renewal in the team.

Ewing's contract also expires in the summer, and Ewing, who won the championship and won the FMVP, is obviously not satisfied with his current salary. He wants a bigger contract, a big contract that fits his worth.

Want to keep the New York iconic star, the Knicks must pay a huge price.

One bad news after another.

The general manager also heard rumors that the Heat seem to want head coach Pat Riley very much. They hope that Riley can serve as the team's general manager and head coach, and promise to give Riley a lot of rights.

The latter is obviously already heartbroken.

Could it be that the Knicks, who have just won the championship, are about to face a situation of falling apart? .
