Chapter 465: Championship trophy arrives at Madison Gardens

, the fastest update NBA: the latest chapter of the No. 1 forward!

Now the team bus can remain calm, and there are only Rasheed Wallace, Tony Allen and Lian Dao.

The first two of them are people who have won the championship and participated in the championship parade. The championship parade of the championship is even more fanatical than it is now.

And Lian Dao also participated in the championship parade, but it was the NCAA championship parade.

However, the atmosphere in it is not inferior to the NBA championship parade, or even worse.

So for this scene of fans picking up the plane, Lian Dao was still able to remain calm.

At this time, the team bus arrived at the arena.

"Boys, this kind of scene is nothing. As long as we can win the next game, the honor and popularity you will get will be ten times and a hundred times what you are now."

"So guys, go ahead and make yourself the superhero of the city!"

D'Antoni is really good at seeing stitches. Taking advantage of the players' current excitement, he said this again at this time.

This group of little tiger cubs were immediately motivated to howl, wishing they could fight the Mavericks for 300 rounds now.

D'Antoni is very satisfied with the current state of the players. Everyone has desires. Only when people's desires are stimulated can they display their super strength.

Afterwards, everyone first went home to rest, and they would start training in the afternoon.

It is said to be training, but it is actually doing some basic recovery, running tactics, and maintaining a state.

In the playoffs, there was actually nothing to practice at all.

There is a saying in China that if you sharpen your guns before the battle, you will be happy if you are unhappy.

However, this law does not apply in the NBA. Sports pay attention to accumulation, especially the more top games, the more so.

It didn't say that the player doesn't work hard at ordinary times, and after two days of training before the start of the playoffs, he can go on the court and kill the Quartet.

Of course, Lian Dao is an exception.

The playoffs are a time to look at results, not to work hard.

Lian Dao bid farewell to the younger sister and her teammates and went home. When she came back from Dallas, the younger sister took the special plane of the Knicks back.

As the head star of the Knicks, Lian Dao still has this privilege, and this privilege is allowed by most teams in the league.

If there's one exception, it's Tim Duncan.

At the end of Duncan's rookie season, he did not complete the contract extension with the Spurs in the first place.

At that time, there were not many teams in the league chasing Duncan, but there were only two teams in the league that could really catch Duncan's eyes.

In addition to the old club, the Spurs, there is another team, the Orlando Magic.

At that time, the Magic was also known as the team most likely to get Duncan.

At that time, the Magic had McGrady, who had just transferred from the Raptors, and Grant Hill, known as Jordan's successor, was also sure to leave the Pistons to join the Magic.

The only helper for the Spurs at that time was David Robinson, and he was no longer in his prime.

Comparing the two, the Magic are more promising than the Spurs in any way.

Duncan and Grande Hill, who share the same agent, visited Orlando as free agents.

At that time, the team management took Duncan to take a private jet, and then painted the words welcoming Duncan on the huge billboards and Disneyland. They also invited Tiger Woods to personally persuade Duncan.

Everything seemed to be going so well, it was just a matter of Duncan signing the contract.

But on the last day in Orlando, Duncan asked head coach Rivers a question: "Can I take my girlfriend or wife on the team charter plane?"

But Rivers gave a negative answer.

I don't know if it was for this reason that Duncan still failed to sign with the Magic and returned to San Antonio.

The big brother of the team, David Robinson, found him immediately and talked with him for more than ten hours, but no one knew what they talked about.

In the end, Duncan cut his salary and stayed in San Antonio with a three-year 40 million contract, which is enough to show how important the conversation between the two parties is.

If Duncan had really left the Spurs, perhaps the Magic would have established a dynasty.

His combination with Hill and McGrady may be unstoppable, but in the end he chose to stay and stay in San Antonio.

In it, although Rivers' answer cannot play a decisive role, he made Duncan's psychological deviation turn to the Spurs.

It can only be said that the Magic did everything for Duncan's arrival, but they did not make up for the mind that Rivers lacked.

But in the Knicks, Lian Dao's status is higher than that of head coach D'Antoni. Naturally, there will be no examples like Duncan.

In the afternoon, Lian Dao drove to the Madison Garden Training Center to prepare for the game on the evening of June 10.

Between the fourth game and the fifth game of the finals, there is a complete two-day interval in the middle.

This is also because the league has an extra day of rest in order to take care of the transition. If there is no transition, the interval between the two games is actually only one day.

Lian Dao parked his car in his own underground exclusive parking space as usual, and then prepared to enter the locker room from the player tunnel.

However, when passing by the player tunnel, he found that team owner James Dolan and general manager Donnie Walsh were watching a group of staff moving things.

"Hey, sickle! You were awesome yesterday. You made 10 of 12 three-pointers. The Mavericks are scared silly by you, hahaha!"

Seeing Lian Dao coming up, James Dolan immediately came up with a big smile, and warmly clapped and hugged Lian Dao.

James Dolan is not a basketball fanatic. Unlike Mavericks owner Cuban, he is full of passion for basketball.

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and read books recently, change sources and switch, read aloud with many timbres, and both Android and Apple can be used. 】

He invested in the team purely to make money, but because of his showy operations, he was criticized in the hearts of New York fans. Although the team made money, his reputation was a lot of money.

In New York, he valued Lian Dao very much. In addition to Lian Dao's strength, Lian Dao made him money while changing his previous reputation as a fool with a lot of money.

"Is there any important event that you need to watch personally, the boss?" Lian Dao smiled at James Dolan.

"Hahaha, sickle, this is definitely what we want most now!" James Dolan said excitedly and mysteriously.

"Hopefully! Huh? Could it be..." Lian Dao suddenly realized.

"You guessed it, Sickle. They moved the championship trophy! As long as we win the next game, an awards ceremony will be held at Madison Square Garden. Not only the championship trophy, but also the materials for the awards stage. They They were all shipped together."

"If it fails, they will follow the special plane and go to Dallas again!"

Lian Dao took a deep breath. He couldn't believe that the box in front of him contained the O'Brien Cup. Since this was the O'Brien Cup, the box next to it must be the Bill Russell Cup.

"Since we've brought it all over, there's no need to move it around. It won't be good if we bump into something. In the next game, let it really show itself!" Lian Dao's excited words showed domineering .

"Hahaha, I think so too, I can't wait to see the championship trophy appear in my office!"

James Dolan patted Lian Dao's shoulder with a smile, and he agreed with what Lian Dao said.

If the Knicks win the championship this time, others will definitely be able to completely remove the hat of being stupid and rich.

…

The Knicks led the Mavericks 3:1 in total, which made the suspense of the finals less and less.

If the Dallas people want to win the championship, they need to win three games in a row, two of which are still at the Knicks' home court. Unless a miracle happens, it is basically impossible.

The Mavericks were completely cornered.

Such a gradually clear championship situation has also made the finals MVP candidate more and more clear. There is no doubt that once the Knicks win the championship, the FMVP trophy will definitely belong to Lian Dao.

At this time, before the UU Reading finals had finished, the media in New York began to hate Lian Dao.

As a super ball star in the league, what the media and fans like to see most is comparison, and Lian Dao, as a player at the third position, the best comparison in active service is LeBron James.

They took out the data of Lian Dao's finals this time and compared it with James in the 2006-07 season finals.

According to Miami media reports, James was found drunk at the biggest nightclub in Miami that night.

Because the result of this comparison is really not friendly to James.

James has only played in the Finals once so far, but his record and statistics are not very good.

Although it is commendable to lead the team with a single core and lead the Cleveland Cavaliers to the finals, it is really embarrassing to be swept out by the San Antonio Spurs 4:0.
