After the confession failed, I went to the NBA to play and lose weight

Chapter 353 Who will get the FMVP?
"...Let us congratulate the Magic. They won the NBA championship in the 07-08 season. The O'Brien Cup belongs to Orlando!"

"Oh--"

clap clap clap...

Cheers and applause sounded successively, and gradually merged into a torrent, sweeping the entire arena.

Being in such an environment, it was hard not to feel excited. Li Chengming felt his blood was on fire, and he started jumping up and down with Howard and the others before he knew it.

Fortunately, the materials used to build the stage are solid enough, and the load-bearing is also fully considered. Otherwise, if it cannot bear the weight and collapses directly, it will be a lot of fun.

President Stern and a group of staff brought the O'Brien Trophy from Los Angeles to Orlando, and finally they were able to send out the trophy.

The full name of the NBA Championship Trophy is actually the Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy. This trophy has been in use since 1977, but before that, it still used the old name of "Walter A. The new title was used after the finals to commemorate the former NBA chairman (not called the president at the time) Larry O'Brien.

Larry O'Brien served as U.S. Postmaster General under President Lyndon Baines Johnson (1965-1968) and then as NBA Commissioner from 1975-1983. His successor is the current The president, David Stern, has now served for more than 20 years.

It was also in the year when David Stern took office that he directly changed the name of the O'Brien Cup to show his respect for his predecessor, which also shows the shrewdness of this Jew.

Of course, O'Brien did make a lot of contributions during his tenure, such as merging the ABA, reaching a new labor agreement with the players union, and setting up the three-point line. Pioneering and development has laid a good foundation.

Holding this 14.5-foot-tall trophy made of 24 pounds of pure silver, coated with 2K pure gold on the outside, Li Chengming will not feel strenuous, even with the size of his palm, his hands can almost hold the "basketball" on it. "Directly included.

For him, although this trophy is not unfamiliar, it is the first time to watch it up close, so naturally he has to look at it carefully.

The shape of the O'Brien Cup is designed to look like a basketball is about to enter the net. The "basketball" on it is 9 inches in diameter, which is about the same size as a conventional basketball.

It is said that this trophy is worth 13500 US dollars and is manufactured by Tiffany & Co. every year. The NBA championship team can keep the trophy permanently. The trophy is also engraved with the winning year and the name of the winning team, allowing the team to place it on the trophy. Exhibition in the stadium.

In addition to the championship trophy, there is also a very important championship ring, but this is customized by the team owner. There will be a link to receive the ring when the regular season starts next season and the home opener.

Of course, there may be great changes in personnel during the offseason. Some players may go to other teams at that time. When they return to Orlando to play, there will also be a ring-giving ceremony before the game. These things It has long been customized.

Afterwards, of course, there was the award declaration, but because enough words have been said before, so this time it is mainly for the boss and the coach to speak, the players are watching from the side, and there are many media around who have been taking pictures.

And at the end of the awards ceremony, of course there is a special award to be awarded, that is, the FMVP award, which is the most valuable player in the finals.

In fact, before the game was over, there was no suspense.

The final victory is nothing more than a complete conclusion. After six games, Li Chengming averaged 31.8 points, 8.2 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game. If this can still make the award fall, then the truth is what Barkley said, it is the NBA's shady up.

But obviously, in such a high-profile finals, David Stern was stupid to do something shady.

There is no need to hesitate about this kind of thing that everyone knows well, even if it is directly given to Li Chengming, so what?
In the end, David Stern also came over with a trophy one size smaller. After reading out the name of the winner, accompanied by the cheers of the audience, Li Chengming took the trophy from the president amidst the clamor of his teammates. Small trophy.

Because the FMVP award is only the MVP of one round of the series, and only 11 reporters voted anonymously, from various perspectives, it is not as authoritative as the MVP of the regular season and the awards that require various votes to accumulate.

But in a sense, it is very important, because without considering the logo man, this award can basically be regarded as a reward for the player who performed the best on the winning side and contributed the most to winning the championship.

Usually, that's the best player on the team.

For example, when the Lakers were in three consecutive games, although the outside world called it an "OK" combination, the final result was that O'Neal won the FMVP for three consecutive games, and it gradually became that Kobe won the championship with his thighs.

In fact, judging from the process of the two championships in the future, Kobe's role in winning the championship is not the same as O'Neal's, but not so much worse. Peter Pan and Sharks actually achieved each other.

In the end, it was because O'Neill stole the most glory, which caused a rift between the two. The combination that had been in perfect harmony, due to various reasons, still fell apart.

In fact, Li Chengming is also very clear that there have been some disturbances among the Magic team.

The main thing is Howard. It was true that Li Chengming was more popular in the middle and was affected by the outside world. But in the end, it may be that the championship trophy was too attractive to him, which made him ignore the innermost feelings. Ninety-nine.

Although Happy Beast often behaved childishly, and even lost his temper in the previous series, but in this round of the finals, he generally appeared calm and mature.

It was also because Li Chengming was indeed able to catch it, just like the 50 points in the last game, directly hitting the last bit of stubborn people speechless.

Maybe before this game, some judges would stubbornly want to vote for Howard or even Kobe, but now after this game, there is really no suspense.

So in the end, Li Chengming also won the MVP of the finals with unanimous votes.

"MVP!"

"MVP!"

"MVP!"

And as Li Chengming raised the FMVP trophy high, there was a burst of shouts of "MVP" at the scene.

At the beginning, it was just one scene after another, and finally everyone seemed to find a tacit understanding, so they formed a unanimous shout from the audience, which also represented the greatest recognition of Magic fans for him.

Seeing this scene, whether it was the commentators such as Director Zhang at the scene, or the domestic fans and audience in front of the TV, they were all excited, sighed, moved, shocked, joyful, and maybe even a little dazed.

Is this real and not a dream?

"Li Chengming did it! With his performance, he conquered the Amway Arena, Magic fans, and the NBA!"

At this time, even if Director Sun's words were a bit exaggerated, no one would care about them, and they even thought that was the case.

Li Chengming is not a flash in the pan, he has been improving and improving since the regular season, and has reached a whole new level in the playoffs, and in the finals, his performance is unique, even in defense. They have gradually become a reliable force on the Magic's forward line.

Without him, the Magic would never be able to defeat the Lakers, never win this championship, and even the Green Kai would not be able to pass, at most, only the second round.

This is because the gap between the Eagles in the first round and the Cavaliers in the second round is too large, but if you think about it another way, if the Magic are not first in the regular season, but third or even fourth, they must be It can't go so smoothly.

Although these are all ifs, the importance of Li Chengming is beyond doubt.

"Hey, Li Chengming seems to be talking to David Stern..."

At this time, Director Zhang noticed that Li Chengming lowered his head to communicate with the NBA president, then suddenly turned around and picked up a package, tore it open to reveal the red color inside, then unfolded it carefully, and put it directly on his body.

That is a five-star red flag!
