Chapter 699 We Are the Champions

"Our players performed very well in today's game. They played the best game since entering the finals. We also saw the hope of winning for a while, but basketball games are like this. No one knows the next minute. , What will happen in the next second, although we lost, but my players, there is no problem with their performance."

The loss in Game 1 of the Finals was a big blow to Avery Johnson. He fell behind 3 to [-], and the Pacers still had two home games. Under such circumstances, the Mavericks had no chance of a reversal Sex, so when attending the press conference after the game, Avery Johnson's mood was somewhat affected by the loss, but after hearing the questions and accusations from the reporters in the audience, Avery- Only then did Johnson feel what it means to be indifferent to the world, what it means to have no morals and no bottom line.

Originally, before the start of the game, the reporters in the audience were still bragging about themselves and their team. However, after the Mavericks lost the game, they suddenly turned their backs and questioned the Mavericks players again. Play, why didn't a certain player play his due level?Why do you make repeated mistakes at critical moments?Is there a problem with his own level, or is the head coach using him wrongly?Why did player XX and player XX not be able to guard against Meng Xu, allowing him to score 24 and 22 points in the third and fourth quarters respectively?Then he questioned Avery Johnson's tactics in this game. Otherwise, why would Meng Xu have so many shots and scored a quasi-quadruple-double of 50+.

"We lost this game, and if we lose, we lose. I won't make any excuses for myself, but the Mavericks players, there is nothing wrong with their performance. Dirk scored 30 points today, and 8 rebounds, Jerry also scored 24 points today, I don't think there is anything wrong with their performance, if every player has to score 50 points like Meng, it is considered a good performance, I admit it, my team There is no one in China like Meng."

"The Pacers are a great team, Meng Xu is also a great player, they deserve such a victory."

"About the tactical problem you mentioned, there is no problem with our tactics, OK? If you think sending the two players with the strongest defense in the team to double-team defense against Meng Xu is to underestimate Meng Xu, then I really There is nothing to say, maybe what you said is right, I will use at least five people to defend him."

The Mavericks, who bear everyone's hope of killing the Pacers, have no hope of a comeback after losing Game [-] of the finals, so in great disappointment, these reporters who have no integrity at all, just He vented all his grievances against the Pacers on Avery Johnson, and criticized the "future NBA No. [-] coach" they called.

"The players played well, and there was no problem with tactics. Why did they still lose? Because they have a player named Meng Xu, and they have a player who can destroy all opponents!"

Avery Johnson, who has been sought after by everyone since he first entered the league, obviously has not realized the danger of these reporters like Rick Carlisle, so facing this group of reporters who turn faces faster than pages, Avery Johnson Avery Johnson really couldn't bear it anymore. After saying the last sentence he wanted to say, Avery Johnson directly left the post-match press conference, even if he would be fined by the league for doing so. Free-Johnson also admitted, because he didn't want to stay here for a moment.

"55 points in a single game in the finals! Two 60+ points in the playoffs, 7 times 50+ points, the scariest super scorer in NBA history!"

On the second day after the end of the fourth game of the finals, most of the American media focused on Meng Xu's 55 points in a single game. If you count the single game in the series against the Pistons With 60 points, Meng Xu became the second player to score 92+ points in the playoffs twice in a single season after the 93-50 season, and also the first player in NBA history to score two points in the playoffs in a single season. Players with 55+ times, plus Meng Xu’s two playoffs with the most 60+ in playoff history, and 7 times with 50+, these media who were still questioning Meng Xu yesterday turned around and put the number one in the playoffs. A scorer's hat was taken off Jordan's head and put on Meng Xu's head.

Since Meng Xu's scoring data in the regular season of this season has shrunk significantly, at the end of the regular season, he only ranked seventh in the scoring list with an average of 27 points per game, so he questioned Meng Xu's voice in the regular season It's huge, and some people even advocate that Meng Xu is already on the decline. However, after entering the playoffs, Meng Xu slapped them in the face with his performance.

So far, in the 18 playoff games that have ended, Meng Xu has averaged 34 points, 8.5 rebounds, 9 assists, 4.5 steals and 3 blocks per game. They are all No. [-] in the league. If there are still people who criticize Meng Xu's personal performance under such circumstances, they can only be described as insane. Even the most vicious New York Times, which usually criticizes Meng Xu, is now only I can give up my plan to continue blacking Mengxu. After all, this is a league where the winner wins everything and the winner is not blamed.

After the Pacers won the fourth game of the finals and won the match point of the finals, Mr. Bill Russell, who was in charge of presenting the finals MVP award, the finals MVP trophy, and the championship trophy, also All of them appeared in Dallas, and those entertainment stars, businessmen and politicians who were going to catch the heat of the finals also all gathered in Dallas, preparing to catch the last wave of heat of the season.

On June 6, the fifth game of the finals, and perhaps the last game of the finals, kicked off at the American Airlines Center in Dallas. Looking at the O'Brien Cup and the finals MVP trophy placed on the sidelines, For the Mavericks players who have no hope of winning and have lost confidence, today's game is tantamount to torture and devastation.

However, in the case that most of the teammates have lost their fighting spirit, Dirk Nowitzki, as the core of the team, still did not give up. Perhaps for Dirk Nowitzki, who in this team Anyone can be depressed, anyone can have no fighting spirit, but he can't, he has to rely on his own efforts and performance, so that everyone who supports him and the Mavericks can see the hope of their comeback.

It's just that one person is powerless after all. Even though Dirk Nowitzki played for 48 minutes and made 32 of 17 shots in the game, scoring a single-game high of 42 points, it didn't make any difference. After the game, Dirk Nowitzki sat on the sidelines, looking at the championship trophy and the finals MVP trophy on the sidelines with disappointment, and at the same time secretly vowed in his heart that he must lead the Mavericks to make a comeback.

As the whistle sounded for the end of the game, amidst the sparse applause and cheers of the audience, Meng Xu raised his fifth championship trophy and fourth finals MVP trophy in his career.

"We are the champions!" Anfernee Hardaway, Tony Allen, Chris Duhon, Sarunas Jascovicius, the players who won the championship for the first time, joined forces to hold the After winning the championship trophy, he looked up to the sky and roared.
