When pride still matters

Chapter 190 I am such a person

Yu Fenglin sat in one of the most prominent seats in the Bradley Center, flanked by Yu Fei's high school best friend Kevin Lin and assistant Alex Clark.

Compared with most people at the scene, Yu Fenlin did not understand the significance of winning the championship to the fans and the city. She also watched the game, but she was not the kind of person who would scream, shout or even cry for the game.

If she cried tonight, it was only for one reason, she was proud of her son.

From the beginning of the game, Clark kept telling Yu Fenglin how much he loved sports. A true sports fan would pay attention to his team's draft day, buy jerseys, arrange his vacation days around the game, and then look forward to the end of the season. See the rainbow.

It's a paradox because not every team can give fans a rainbow.

Sometimes, you may never see it.This is the biggest fear in the hearts of fans.All the years of energy wasted, never released, never fulfilled, nothing.Season after season, no championship and then you die as a sports fan with regrets.

This is why, when Yu Fei rushed forward and completed the dunk at the last moment, many people in the Bradley Center cried out with tears. At that moment, Yu Fei dispelled people's fear, It seems that the shortcomings left by the Lou Alcindor era can be made up for tonight - when everything comes together, the 32 years of waiting and the waiting of several generations have been given value - Bucks 82 points, the Spurs 79 points, the Milwaukee Bucks are the championship of the 2002-03 season!
At the moment the game ended, a gray-haired old fan told the local media: "After tonight, my life as a Bucks fan is complete. I mean, I will die without regrets."

The crowd went crazy, Bucks players ran onto the court to celebrate, and Yu Fenglin also hugged Clark, Kevin Lin and an unknown fan in a state of shock.

Yu Fenglin probably knew one thing.

His son, once a son of Seattle, not so long ago a pariah in Washington, is from this day forward a chosen one in Milwaukee.

He has won them all!

On the court, the Spurs players watched like zombies as the Bucks players celebrated wildly.

Tim Duncan felt his ears ringing.

But he could clearly hear his breathing and heartbeat, but he couldn't hear the screams of the audience, the boasting of the Bucks players, or even some teammates telling him "come back next year."

He failed again.

The defeat was so painful that Duncan still can't fully accept it.

Duncan looked at the end of the court. David Robinson was wiping his tears. He must be blaming himself. If he hadn't committed six fouls and left the field, maybe
Robinson's tears made Duncan's memories come flooding back. He thought about when he first entered the league, the second-year championship, and the contempt people had for that championship.

Phil Jackson gave it an asterisk.

Shaquille O'Neal threatened after he won the championship that "all that really matters is the trophy in June." Yes, he was mocking Duncan for still fighting for regular honors.He has the qualifications, doesn't he?He won three consecutive championships, while Duncan only had an asterisk championship.

After each failure, Duncan heard someone say, maybe next time?
Now, he finally broke through the OK Lakers, but what prevented him from reaching the top again was a young man under 21 years old.

Maybe next time?

The dejected Duncan showed an eternal silence. He walked forward silently and came to his opponent. He hoped that he would have the courage to greet the opponent.

"Congratulations." Duncan hugged Yu Fei gently, "See you next year."

This is all he has left.

"Thank you." Yu Fei said, "You guys are not bad."

Duncan walked quietly off the court, silent.

And the celebrations on the field continued.

The most rude person was George Karl. He danced on the court like a drunken idiot. Anthony Mason felt that his eyes were going blind, so he poured a bucket of drinks on him.

"Well done! Well done! Keep going! I'll let you fucking bastards tease you today!" Carl explained what it means to be happy in life.

He always believed that Phil Jackson had so many championships just because he coached Jordan and OK.

However, if he cannot win a championship, he is not qualified to make a statement.

Because of the ring culture, when professionals want to evaluate champions, they always have to face the test of "what kind of champion are you?" If you fail, you will be without a championship. No matter how much you talk about it, it is not worth listening to.

Now, he has entered the "Champions Club" and starting today, the world will get used to his big mouth.

The Bucks players first returned to the locker room to change into championship T-shirts, then returned to the scene and walked onto the podium.

David Stern announced the Bucks as this season's championship amid boos from the audience.

Then, Bucks owner Herb Kerr excitedly held the O'Brien Trophy, his face full of happiness and satisfaction.Although the fans at the scene could not stand on that stage, every fan could experience the feeling.

The feeling would have been inexplicable, but Carr articulated it in a jumble of words: "Every year I watch them give this trophy to someone and now they're giving it to me. Oh. No, I’m sorry, it’s us, Baby! It’s us!!!!!! Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!!!!!!”

Then came the selection of the Finals Most Valuable Player.

There was never any suspense about this.

There is no one in the Bucks who can give Yu Fei points.This is not only because Yu Fei helped the Bucks win the championship with a dominant game, but also because of his impeccable average data. In six finals games, he averaged 30 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks per game. In steals, four of his five basic offensive and defensive statistics lead the team. Without him, the Bucks would not only not be able to reach the finals, but might stop in the first and second rounds of the playoffs.

Therefore, Yu Fei was unanimously elected FMVP.

"Just a year ago, you were the castaway in the DC trade, but now, Frye, you won the MVP, and then won the championship, and now, you are the Finals MVP. As far as I know, you are the best player ever. The youngest MVP and FMVP⑴, how do you feel?"

⑴80 Magician is several months older than Da Fei. "You know, I like this result, because the biggest difference between FMVP and MVP is that no one will discuss whether I deserve it or not. Because the person who deserves the MVP more than me has now become my loser. "Yu Fei's eyes flashed, "I think this even puts an end to the question of 'do I deserve to be MVP?'

Yu Fei broke the doubts, but also provided a strong argument for those who kept saying that he was the Jordan after Jordan.

Look at how narrow-minded this man is. Before the Spurs' corpse has cooled down, he is in a hurry to crush the bones and spread the ashes.

Who would humiliate his opponent during his FMVP acceptance speech?

Yu Fei did it, he is more dangerous than Jordan!

Press conference

"It hurts. We have had the experience of winning until the end, but we have never had the experience of being knocked down in the last 100 meters. It does bother each of us, but I believe this defeat will make us Better." - Gregg Popovich on losing in the Finals.

"That's not something we're thinking about right now." - Gregg Popovich declined to comment on the Spurs-Kidd gossip.

"It's a pity, but regret is a part of life. Although it is not satisfactory, ending my career as the overall runner-up is luckier than most people. At least, I won in 1999. ” – David Robinson confirmed that he will retire at the end of this season.

"No reason other than that they were better." - Tim Duncan on why the Finals failed.

"Frye Yu gets fouled every time he goes to the basket. We can't defend him at all!" - Stephen Jackson questioned the fairness of the penalty.

"Sooner or later we're going to win a real ring." - Bruce Bowen Looking forward to the future.

"Now, where are the people who are saying that I can't succeed? Where are the people who are saying that Frye is not worthy of being elected MVP? Do you like this result? Do you like the trophy in my hand? Isn't he very dazzling? I Let me tell you, I remember all those bad things and I'll be spouting them all summer long!" - George Karl taunted reporters in the press room.

"This is the ultimate reward that I've been looking for as a basketball player! Seven years later, who cares how I ended up in Milwaukee? Now I've won a championship and I'm a winner, but I'm still me and this championship is just Proving that there is more than one way to success." - Ray Allen talked about "self" at length in front of reporters.

"For my last steal, they should give me an eight-figure pension." - Latrell Sprewell on his last-minute steal.

"Man, you know how we got here? I don't mind sharing that story with you. Frye didn't like me or the way I played, but he knew he couldn't win the championship without me, so he warned Me, I kept myself in check, but I wanted to know what I could get if I did what he said. His answer was a championship. And guess what? He did it!" - Anthony Mason, unexpectedly the most likable Bucks players.

(The Bucks caused a lot of resentment due to their complacent performance per player)

"This championship will prove the value of that deal over and over again. I just know that if Frye and I were still playing in DC this year, we would never win it." - Christian Laettner against Washington before Yu Fei made the move. frame output.

Of course, what reporters most want to interview must be the double MVP winner.

When Yu Fei came to the media interview room holding the trophy and wearing a championship T-shirt, reporters from hundreds of media were sitting at the scene.

"Fry, how does it feel to win the championship?"

"BJ, don't ask stupid questions like that."

(Laughter at the scene)
"Now, how would you evaluate this deal between the Wizards and the Bucks?"

Yu Fei raised his eyebrows when he heard his favorite question: "I tell you very seriously that Senator Cole should consider retiring MJ's jersey. Without him, this championship may be postponed for 20 years."

"After tonight, you became the ninth person in NBA history to win both MVP and FMVP within one year. How do you feel about this?"

⑵Reed, Gouzi, Moses, Big Bird, Moji, Dameng, Danzi, Fatty

Yu Fei knew the truth and asked: "Who is the person who has accomplished the most achievements?"

"MJ did it four times."

"Oh, then my feeling is to try to surpass his record in the future."

Crazy, really crazy, this man.

However, it only took him one year to drive Jordan crazy, and then another year to make Jordan a clown. If he was given another 15 years, who could guarantee that he wouldn't be able to do it?

Considering his age, he really has endless possibilities.

The most unique question of the night was asked by a reporter from the Washington Post: "How much motivation did being traded by the Wizards give you?"

"There are some." When Yu Fei saw the Huayou people, the fire that had been extinguished in his heart suddenly started to burn again. "Being traded as soon as my rookie season ended indirectly showed the Wizards' attitude and view of me, that is, I’m not who they want.”

"That's certainly what drives me."

"That's what I want to prove."

"You want a rookie to take your team to the playoffs with your two best players out for the season? Well, I'm your guy."

"You want an underrated rookie to win MVP and Finals MVP in year two? Well, I'm your guy."

"Do you want someone who can bring more commercial value, drive the sports market more violently, and attract more sponsors to fill your wallet than the 40-year-old Michael Jordan? Then, I am your person."

"I can do everything they think I can't do. What they think MJ can do but I can't, I want to prove that I can do it far better than that dying old man. I'm the one you need most. And you actually traded me? Great, then becoming the most valuable player of all time is my goal, my glory is Washington's shame, and I will do whatever it takes to do it."

Yu Fei stood up and said like an overlord: "Remember, this is who I am."
