Wang Tiejun shouted wildly, venting the excitement in his heart and the huge pressure he had always felt.
After winning the championship in 1993, he saw Barkley's crazy look. At the time, he still didn't understand it and couldn't understand the madness and excitement, but now he can understand it.
The feeling of following the core of the team to win the championship is completely different from the feeling of leading the team to win the championship as the core. The responsibility and pressure are more than ten times heavier.
After winning the championship in 1993, the management immediately decided to rebuild the team with him as the core and even traded Barkley. He didn't show it, but the pressure in his heart was really great. He had no way to tell others, even in front of Yu Feihong.
It was never revealed.
When he was eliminated in the Western Conference Finals last year, it was Barkley's team that eliminated him, which brought that pressure to the extreme. It was only now, as he led the team to win the championship, that this pressure was lifted by him.
He used the championship to prove that the management's decision was right, that Colangelo's decision was right, and he proved to everyone that he is the future of the Suns.
Lightning Kevin Johnson burst into tears. This season was not easy. He experienced serious injuries, but the final result was perfect, and so was his career.
The two championships were won even as a core outside player. He has no regrets.
At the same time, he has done what he promised to help Lao K, and he did not make a mistake.
Dan Marley, like Kevin Johnson, is particularly happy to be able to bring his home team a second championship. His career has been perfect and he believes he can leave his name in the history of the Suns.
Glider Drexler had tears streaming down his face. For more than ten seasons, he, who was also a flyer, was crushed by Jordan in various ways. But today, he was able to sweep Jordan and win the championship. Even now, he feels unbelievable.
Do you think he can actually achieve this kind of achievement?
He wants to thank the Suns and even the Trail Blazers management for trading him to Phoenix. Yes, he must be grateful.
And I would also like to thank Old K. Without this most dominant super center, he would not have been able to defeat Jordan and sweep the championship.
Now he has no regrets. His career is complete. Next, he will fight for the last contract and use the rest of his career to earn more pension for himself.
Danny Manning is very happy to win the championship. The only regret is that this championship was just a ring without his own efforts.
He is still in the recovery stage and doesn't know what the future will hold. Although he is excited, he is also a little confused. He doesn't know where and what his future is.
Westphal kept talking to several of his assistants to express his excitement and excitement.
He feels that he is the luckiest head coach. He joined the industry in 1992 and won two championships in three years. To achieve this achievement, I am afraid he is the first person in the league.
Jerry Colangelo was extremely lucky to have followed Barkley to Chinatown in Manhattan, New York. He now knows that it was a lucky trip.
He never dared to think about winning two championships in three years, but now the Suns have done it.
And next, his goal is no longer just a championship, but a dynasty, to build the Suns into a giant.
Brian Colangelo stood beside his father. He was even more excited, very nervous, and very looking forward to it.
His father Colangelo Sr. has promised him that he will serve as the general manager next. In other words, he will be used to build the new Suns team. The Suns team with Lao K as the core will lay the foundation for the future dynasty and future.
Luxurious and hardworking.
I was under a lot of pressure, so I was very nervous and didn't know what the outcome was waiting for him.
The team needs to move some stars, and it also needs to clean up some role players and main players. After two championships, there will definitely be some players who lose their pursuit of the championship. These people need to be cleaned out, and they need to find a new group of players who are full of potential.
Players with championship aspirations are back.
But before that, he had to find an opportunity to talk to Lao K. Only after settling the contract with Lao K could he start handling other matters.
Next to the two are Bulls owner Reinsdorf, general manager Jerry Krause, and league commissioner David Stern.
"Finally...I lost!"
At the end of the game, Reinsdorf sighed in his heart, and then he had to consider how much money he would spend to rebuild the winning lineup.
Klaus was very calm, because after losing two consecutive games at home, he thought about the outcome of this finals.
It's just that he couldn't accept being swept. It meant that as a general manager, he failed very much in terms of lineup construction.
He won the championship with this lineup last season, but the same lineup was swept this season, which only shows that the lineup was restrained.
Next, he needs to trade and rebuild the inside line. Except for Jordan, who cannot move, everyone else will become his bargaining chip.
But before that, he had to have a good talk with Jordan and Phil Jackson.
"Congratulations, Mr. Colangelo, for winning two championships in three years. The Suns are an amazing team." After the game, Stern sent his congratulations.
"Thank you, Mr. Stern." Colangelo said excitedly.
Stern was a little regretful, regretful that the Bulls were really swept. No, not the Bulls, but regretful that Jordan was swept.
Being swept this time, in his opinion, was a huge blow to Michael Jordan. His invincible rank was broken and he lost a lot of shine. He was no longer the only one.
If the dynasty can be completed, he believes that Jordan will be the only one who will be the super giant among the super giants in terms of strength, honor, influence and popularity.
But now, before Jordan can complete the dynasty, he can only be the same as Larry Bird and Earvin Johnson. He is a super giant in history, or even one of the top three in history, but he cannot dominate the history and be aloof from everyone.
superior.
At most, at most, because of its global influence and popularity, it is half a level higher than Larry Bird and other historical super giants.
On the court, after the excitement of a group of Suns players and coaches subsided, they found that the Bulls were still waiting aside and quickly went over to shake hands with them.
Jordan had calmed down and did not leave. Instead, he wanted to send his congratulations. This is the most basic courtesy.
When he won the championship, the Smiling Assassin turned around and left without congratulating him, which made him extremely annoying, so he will not be the kind of person he hates.
"Michael..."
Drexler was the closest, and when shaking Jordan's hand, he wanted to talk trash as a winner, but when he saw Jordan's red eyes, he couldn't.
Lightning and Thunder shook hands with Jordan one by one without saying anything.
"Jordan, let's compete again next time." Old K said as he shook hands with Jordan.
"Old K, just wait for me."
After being defeated by Old K twice in the finals, Jordan's mood was too complicated. After gritting his teeth and saying this, he didn't even bother to shake hands with other Suns players. He turned around and walked directly to the player tunnel, where a large group of reporters
No one stopped him.
"Feihong..."
"Old K, congratulations to you, I wish you a championship every year in the future."
"Haha, if I want to win the championship every year, then the NBA must not break up?"
Walking to the sidelines, Wang Tiejun leaned over and hugged Yu Feihong in celebration.
"Old K, congratulations!"
Next to him, Hawksman, Cheng Long and others also sent their own congratulations.
"Old K, congratulations!"
Superstars such as Barkley and Magic Johnson came over, followed by a large number of Hollywood stars and a group of celebrity businessmen from Phoenix.
Behind these people, the governor of Arizona and some congressmen also came, as well as the mayor of Phoenix and others.
"Old K, I hope you will renew your contract with the Suns as soon as possible and stay here. You will be the greatest sports superstar in this state and there will be a statue of you here."
After sending his own congratulations, Governor Norkenth Waring said.
"I hope so too." Lao Wang said with a smile.
At this time, in the TNT commentary box, Albert got the data record sheet and read: "In this game, Jordan scored 48 points, his performance was amazing..."
At this point, he couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, what a pity, I met Old K."
Kevin Harlan continued what Albert said: "The stronger the stronger, Michael Jordan played the most amazing finals in his career, scoring 47 points, 45 points, 49 points, and 48 points in four games.
The average average reached a frightening 47.25 points, which was an increase of 6 points from the 41 points per game in the 1993 Finals. It is really incredible."
"But there is another person who is incredible, and that is Lao K."
Albert gathered his emotions and continued: "Old K did not score as many points as Jordan in this game, 46 points, but his shooting rate reached 73%. Although it was not as good as the previous three games, it was also an extremely terrifying efficiency.
Of course, Jordan was also good, shooting 58.5% from the field, especially 5 of 10 three-pointers.
But Old K scored almost as many points as Jordan with fewer shots. This is the most important reason why the Suns won.
At the same time, in addition to scoring, he also grabbed 21 rebounds, which is also one of the most important reasons for the Suns to win."
Kevin Harlan nodded and said: "The Suns made too many mistakes in this game and were not in good shape. If it hadn't been for Old K grabbing 21 rebounds, the Suns would not have swept the Bulls."
Albert smiled and said: "We would like to congratulate the Suns again for completing an unprecedented four-round sweep to win the championship. Well, having said that, in the four finals series, Old K scored 57 points, 50 points, and 47 points respectively.
He scored 46 points and scored 200 points in four games, averaging an astounding 50 points per game. This is another unprecedented feat."
Kevin Harlan said excitedly: "Yes, he is the first person in the history of the league's finals to have two consecutive 50-point games, the only superstar to average 50 points per game in the finals, and the super scoring champion."
"Congratulations, old K, you made history." Albert said excitedly.
Kevin Harlan said with a smile: "Old K's 31 contract is in the last year. The media has long reported that he may jump out of the last year of the contract and test the free market, but I don't think Mr. Colangelo will let him go.
It's impossible to pass him."
Albert nodded and smiled: "There are market rumors that the Lakers have been chasing Old K, but I don't think there is much chance. The Suns own the Bird Rights of Old K, and Mr. Colangelo is also very courageous. He will definitely
Offer a big contract that satisfies Lao K."
"With the Suns' current operating capabilities, it is definitely a billion-dollar contract." Kevin Harlan added.
"certainly."
Albert smiled and said: "Ewing is the first to receive an annual salary of tens of millions, but I think Old K is definitely worth a billion-yuan contract with an annual salary of tens of millions."
Kevin Harlan smiled: "Of course, Ewing has not brought a championship to the Knicks, but Old K has brought two championships to the Suns.
According to internal information from the Suns, the Suns' operating income this season has doubled compared to last season, and has increased more than four times since 1992. The team's market value has also been rising. The Suns have enough
I have the strength to renew my contract with old K.”
Albert suddenly talked about Jordan and said: "Jordan's contract ends next season. I have sources. His agent David Frank offered the Bulls management an annual salary of 20 million during early contract renewal negotiations.
The price is high, and the two parties have not reached an agreement to renew the contract in advance.”
"Twenty million per year? Oh, that's too high! Jordan only has four million this year. Twenty million is equivalent to seven dollars." Kevin Harlan said in surprise.
"Qipi? Haha, okay, Kevin, stop being funny."
Albert laughed for a while and then continued: "If Jordan successfully defends his three consecutive championships, with the numerous hard honors he has won before and a dynasty, he will gain an unparalleled historical status, but now he still lacks a dynasty.
, I also think that the annual salary of 20 million is too high."
Kevin Harlan thought for a while and said: "If the Bulls use the Bird Rights to extend Jordan's contract beyond the cap, if it is just a short contract of one or two years, an annual salary of 20 million is not unacceptable. After all, the value Jordan has created for the Bulls
It will be bigger, but at his age, it is impossible to sign another long-term contract with an annual salary of 20 million."
At this time, Albert said: "Okay, Mr. Stern is ready to award the trophy. Congratulations to the Phoenix Suns, congratulations to Old K..."
Everyone at the scene looked at the O'Brien Cup in Stern's hand and felt very excited.
David Stern, holding the trophy, said to TNT's live broadcast: "A season is over, and an exciting finals is over. I want to thank all the players, all coaches, and all the people in the league.
Fans, thank you for your dedication and support..."
After a brief conversation, he said: "Congratulations to the Phoenix Suns for winning the 1994/95 season championship."
"yeah!"
The American West Arena instantly turned into the hottest sea, and endless streamers of ribbons floated down from the ceiling again.
An excited Jerry Colangelo received the trophy, kissed it first, and then raised it to countless Suns fans, causing the cheers at the scene to reach their peak.
"marvelous!"
Wang Tiejun took the trophy with both hands, looked at it for a moment, and raised it high towards the fans.
This is the first championship trophy he has won as a core player. It has a completely different meaning than the one in 1993. It is very thrilling and exciting.
After lingering for a moment, he handed the trophy to Lightning beside him.
"marvelous!"
There was no other feeling, just great. Lightning kissed the trophy hard and then raised it high.
"yeah!"
Every time the trophy was raised high, bursts of cheers erupted from the venue.
"Crack, click, click..." The fingers of hundreds of reporters at the scene were numb.
After celebrating for more than ten minutes, David Stern accepted a basket-colored, gold-rimmed envelope from his staff.
"Here we come, fmvp, the most valuable player of the finals, Old K, it must be Old K, there is no second choice." Su Qun shouted excitedly in the CCTV commentary box.
"That's for sure. He averaged 50 points per game in the finals. He is the best player in the history of the NBA! Jordan's previous average was 41 points per game. Tiejun is really the first player in history!" Zhang Liangli said excitedly.
"Sun King! Sun King! Sun King..."
At this time, the entire audience at the American West Arena began to cheer.
Suns fans did not call him by the nickname of Old K, but by the new nickname of Sun King, which represents a new recognition of him by Suns fans, which means that his status in this city has reached a new height.
"Congratulations to Wang Tiejun, who was unanimously elected as the MVP of this finals." David Stern said with a smile on his face.
"yeah!"
The cheers from the audience reached their peak in an instant.
"Old K, you played an incredible finals. All the honors you received are well-deserved and worthy of everyone's respect. Congratulations." Stern handed over the trophy and sent his own congratulations.
.
"Thank you, Mr. Stern."
Lao Wang took the trophy from Stern with excitement.
This trophy is large, just like the O'Brien Trophy, with a black base and a golden basketball on top.
Lao Wang raised it towards the fans and media, and the crowd suddenly burst into screams, and the warmest cheers immediately broke out.
"Congratulations to Mr. K, for getting the first FMVP in his career. I believe this is definitely not the last one, this is just the beginning." Su Qun said excitedly.
"Yes, a start."
Zhang Lili smiled and nodded repeatedly, and then said: "Now let's take a look at Fengshen Street, it's very lively there..."
The camera switched to Fengshen Street.
I saw that the entire 330-meter-long street was filled with densely packed people, most of them young men and women, and some middle-aged people.
