NBA backer king

Chapter 469 Old K will also be traded?
At this time, Stern was about to present the award, and Lao Wang hurried back to the field and stood with his teammates.

Stern took the host's microphone and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, a season is over. This is a very good season. We want to thank all the players and fans who participated. Thank you to the Bulls and Suns. Thank you Michael Jordan and the old K for giving us a very exciting finals series with ratings breaking the 5000 million mark, and now I want to congratulate the Phoenix Suns, you won the championship in the 96/97 season."

"Oh ho ho..."

The remaining [-] Suns fans raised their arms and roared excitedly, and the celebrities who stayed at the scene to celebrate together also applauded and cheered.

Next, Stern took the O'Brien trophy from his assistant and handed it to Jerry Colangelo.

Colangelo Sr. took the trophy and held it high, to the cheers of all the Suns fans in the field and in front of the TV.

Then the old Colangelo handed the trophy to Wang Tiejun beside him, and the old Wang lifted it up, and the cheers on the scene suddenly rose to a higher level.

"Three championships in five years, the Suns and Bulls are both one of the most successful teams in the 90s." Magic Johnson sighed in the ABC live broadcast.

"No, the 90s are not over yet, and the Suns still have a chance to surpass the Bulls," Larry Bird said.

Abdul-Jabbar nodded and said: "The Bulls disintegrated, and the Suns' most powerful opponent in the finals collapsed. As long as the Suns maintain most of the main lineup, with Old K's leadership and strength, this time next year, he may still have a chance." Lift the O'Brien Trophy."

Magic Johnson thought for a while and said: "Whether the Suns can maintain the current main lineup is actually doubtful.

In the Suns, Old K is the Sun King. No matter how good the players are, no matter how potential they have, they are just stars. Under the Sun King’s light, do stars still exist?

Obviously, the tactical status of the Suns is heavily biased towards Old K, and others, including Kidd, have no tactical status.

We have been saying that the existence of Old K has suppressed the development of his teammates. Kidd, Rasheed Wallace, and Kobe are all talented and ambitious young people. Are they willing to be suppressed by Old K all the time?
Being suppressed by the old K will definitely affect their future, whether it is strength, technical development, or commercial value, it will have a great impact, and it will be difficult for them to become all-stars. "

"Ervin, do you think these young people will choose to leave?" Larry Bird asked.

"Probably."

Nodding, Magic Johnson said: "If they don't leave, their development speed will be greatly slowed down, and even after the most advanced years are delayed, they will never be able to reach their due heights."

Abdul-Jabbar nodded and said: "The Suns' lineup should have greater mobility, which we have confirmed before.

As for its opponent, although Jordan is leaving the Bulls, it does not mean that he will stay away from the Finals. The team he goes to will definitely become the most competitive team in the league.

And the Knicks, with the continuous growth of O'Neal and Alan Houston and the continuous reinforcement of the lineup, will definitely become the most powerful opponent of the Suns.

Of course, if they get Jordan, they can even directly overwhelm the Suns and Old K and become the strongest team in the league, not one of them.

There are also the Pacers and the Jazz, who are strong enemies of the Suns. If the Suns don’t have enough lineup next season, I’m afraid they won’t be able to win against these two teams.”

"Don't forget, there is also your rotten Laker."

Larry Bird reminded: "They got Tim Duncan. With Duncan's performance in the NCAA and his age, maybe he is a big guy who is at the peak of his debut. Big dream + Duncan, what kind of record do you think they can achieve?"

Magic Johnson smiled happily: "Tim Duncan is a great guy. His four-year NCAA career has made his skills and body very mature. He is not a rookie who only played in the NCAA for one or two years. I believe he will be a high-end player when he enters the league. The Lakers next season will be very competitive."

Abdul-Jabbar kept nodding and said with a smile: "The Lakers lineup is very good and very young. As long as Duncan doesn't let us down, our lineup will be even stronger than the Suns. Even if Jordan joins the Knicks, we will not be weak."

Larry Bird shook his head helplessly and said with a smile: "Old K has three championships in five years, and he can't defend his title after the first two championships. Looking at the current situation, the Lakers, Knicks, and the team that Michael is going to will all become the Suns. The most powerful opponent, old K, wants to defend the title next season, and it will be very difficult."

Magic Johnson said: "One loss, two losses and three losses, Michael lost three times to the old K, because the Bulls did not have a top center.

Then the team he will join next will definitely choose a team with a top center, and he will not suffer from this again. "

Nodding his head, Jabbar said: "I'm not belittling old K, you all know that I have a good friendship with him, and I'm a VIP customer of K's martial arts gym.

But I want to point out that old K's performance in the three finals does not represent his true strength. It is only because the Bulls' center is relatively weak that he feels invincible.

And what I want to say is that once Michael finds a top center partner, with his current strength at his peak, within the next one to two years, he and his team will definitely become the most likely existence to beat the Suns and Old K. "

The other two nodded repeatedly, and Larry Bird sighed and said: "It is true that Jordan can average 46.4 points per game in the finals at this age. It is really terrifying. From this point of view, he is far from Stronger than old K.

I can be sure that at Jordan's age, old K can still stand on the court without retiring. Even with his style of play, if he can walk normally at the age of 35, it will be very good. "

Magic Johnson said: "In fact, we can't deny that it was under the great pressure of old K that Jordan could still play such a terrifying performance at this age."

"When you meet the strong, you get stronger." Larry Bird said.

……

At this time, the United Center Arena has begun to announce the next award, which is FMVP.

David Stern was holding a white envelope with a black border in his hand. When he opened the envelope, [-] Suns fans at the scene, as well as countless fans in front of the TV, were chanting a person's name and nickname.

"Sun King! Sun King! Sun King..." United Center, Phoenix, countless shouts sounded.

"Wang Tiejun! Wang Tiejun! Wang Tiejun..."

"Old K! Old K! Old K..."

This is the collective cry of countless domestic fans and Fengshen Street.

"The king of the mountain! The king of the mountain! The king of the mountain..."

This is the cry of tens of thousands of people in the open-air stadium of the May [-]th Brigade.

"The Most Valuable Player of the 96/97 Finals, Phoenix Suns, Wang Tiejun, Old K!" David Stern read.

"boom!"

At this moment, it seemed that the whole world was cheering.

"boom!"

Wang Tiejun won the FMVP trophy, and when he held it high, the cheers went up to a higher level.

After the awards were presented, the on-site celebrations were also over. After all, this is the Bulls' home court, and the real celebration can only be carried out after returning to Phoenix.

Before returning to the locker room, Lao Wang bid farewell to the fans and a large group of friends.

"Old K, you said you would hold a pool party after winning the championship, right?" Barkley whispered after he was leaving.

"Charles, you don't want to follow me back to Phoenix, do you?" Old Wang asked.

"Why not? It's a rare opportunity." Barkley said with a smile.

Lao Wang casually pushed Barkley away, and while walking forward, he said, "Only Suns players can attend my party. It's for celebrating the championship. You're not suitable."

"Old K, you don't show loyalty." Barkley shouted angrily from behind.

"If you want to pick up girls, spend the money yourself, and if you talk too much, I'll tell your wife." Old Wang said angrily.

"Don't, don't, old K, you can't hurt me." Barkley said urgently.

"Ha ha……"

Looking at this side, Dameng and the others burst into laughter.

……

"Bang bang bang..."

The management had already prepared several boxes of champagne, and when they returned to the locker room, a large group of strong men fought for each other. A dozen bottles of champagne were opened, and a champagne bath began in the locker room.

After celebrating in the locker room and showering, all the players went to the press conference together.

"Crack clap..."

When they arrived at the news hall, it was already full of people, and the front row was densely packed with tripods and cameras. As soon as they entered, all the cameras and cameras turned their guns and flashed at them, blinding their eyes.

The players stood in a row, Lao Wang was holding two trophies in C position, Lightning on the left, veteran Wilkins on the right, Kidd and his main players next to Lightning, plus Kobe, Williams and other veterans next to Wilkins, and other role players and marginal players on the far side.

As Lao Wang's natal family, CCTV reporters have a lot of face in the Suns. Zhang Lili and Su Qun are unimpeded in the Suns, and now their cameras have occupied the best positions.

Cameraman Lao Liu shouted at Lao Wang: "Old K, laugh, eggplant!"

"Ha ha!"

Pharaoh immediately laughed out loud, revealing his back molars.

"Crack clap..."

At this moment, all reporters and cameramen pressed the shutter one after another.

After the photo session, it was time for a Q&A session.

The Suns are very face-saving. The first reporter who was flopped by the host was Zhang Lili. After taking the microphone, he quickly said: "Tie Jun, three championships in five years, what is the sentence you want to say most now?"

"I look forward to doing it again at this time next year." Old Wang immediately said with a smile.

"Old K, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, and Jalba think that after the Triple Crown, you have a chance to challenge Jordan's No.1 position in history. What do you think?" the next reporter asked.

Lao Wang replied very cautiously: "Now he and I are both triple crowns, he has more hard honors, and I have better statistics. Everyone has their own advantages.

But I should not be able to challenge his status at present. After all, he has made great contributions to the development of the league, which I cannot do now. "

"You mean, you agree with what Chamberlain said, even if you play a three-peat dynasty, you can't challenge Jordan's historical status?" The reporter asked.

This question is very difficult to answer, because it is not something that can be decided by oneself. It is something that needs to be recognized by the media and the alliance. It doesn’t matter what you say, and this is still in the United States, not your own country. In the same situation as everyone , Americans must identify with their own people.

So Wang Tiejun replied very cautiously: "For this year's selection of the top [-] superstars, the league did not conduct official rankings. The so-called historical rankings are also conducted by your media, so I will leave the future to you. I am not suitable to express personal opinions. As for Chamberlain, I don't think I am suitable, so he is not suitable either."

The reporter who asked the next question was a reporter from the Los Angeles Daily. He asked: "Old K, according to media reports, some shareholders of the Suns, including the Colangelo family, have the idea of ​​cashing out, so do you think the Suns will continue to win the championship?" , that is, your dream of three consecutive championships, and continue to invest a lot of money?

Lao Wang smiled and said, "You have to ask the management and the Suns' board of directors this question. I don't know the relevant situation at present."

The reporter asked: "As far as I know, the Suns are likely to convene a board of directors immediately, and then distribute dividends to shareholders. With the Suns' operating capabilities, it can be said with certainty that the Suns will no longer be able to invest large sums of money in defending the title." .

So, if the Suns really don't intend to continue investing, will you leave the Suns?Or, do you think the Suns will trade you? "

"Oh!"

This question, like a stone hitting a thousand waves, immediately caused an uproar in the news hall.

"What, it's crazy, old K is going to be traded too?"

"Is the management of the Suns crazy? Old K is traded, and the team will disintegrate immediately. Is this to learn from the Bulls?"

"It should be requested by the shareholders. Investors want to make profits, and the team needs to continue to invest, but the Suns only have such a large operating income in a market like this. They can take care of this end, but not the other end."

"I don't think it's possible. Old K is in his prime, unlike Jordan, who has entered the end of his career."

"That's not necessarily true. When Barkley won the championship in 93, he was still at his peak. Why don't we trade as usual?"

"Old K seems to have an ankle injury this time. Is the management worried about his injury and traded?"

"It's impossible to trade Old K because of an injury, so what's the big deal? If you trade No.1 for that injury, then all the stars in the league will be traded. Is the management crazy? This reason is simply not valid."

Jordan is about to be traded, and now Old K may also leave the Suns. Two of the league's most influential signature stars will leave their home teams.

"Crack clap..."

All the cameras flashed frantically at Lao Wang.

Because this issue has already been discussed with Hawksman, Lao Wang calmly dealt with it: "This is just your guess. I have nothing to say about this issue."

However, the following questions were basically related to this, which gave him a headache.

The press conference finally came to an end, and the entire Suns team went to a nightclub owned by the Suns team, preparing to party all night in celebration.
