Side Story 1: The Wayne Heir(1/2)
Before the start of Game 1 of the 2017 NBA Finals, Kevin Durant sat nervously in the locker room.
After all, he is a man who has a 100% winning rate in the finals in his career (his first time playing in the finals), so he still has some idol baggage.
At this time, the door to the locker room was pushed open, and two men in suits and leather shoes walked in.
His arrival instantly filled the serious locker room with vitality.
"Brother Wei is here!"
"Don't worry, Brother Wei, we will definitely win the game today!"
The visitor was none other than team owner Wayne. As soon as he walked in, the players suddenly became excited.
As the spiritual leader of the team, Wayne can inspire the players as long as he appears, even if he doesn't say or do anything.
Speaking of which, Wayne may be the first owner in NBA history who can become the spiritual leader of the team.
Behind Wayne, there is also Old Wolf who joined the coaching staff after retiring.
He looked at Du Xiaoshuai with a smile and sat next to him.
"How do you feel KD?"
"Well I'm not nervous at all."
"Then why are your legs shaking?"
"I'm just warming up!"
Old Wolf shook his head, even though he put on the Trail Blazers jersey, even though he reached the finals with the team.
But Adu’s damn temperament hasn’t changed at all.
Why did Lao Lang come specifically to talk to Adu? Because when Wayne retired a year ago, Lao Lang also played a lot of role in recruiting Adu.
He once called Adu and discussed in depth the two philosophical propositions of "don't let loyalty kill you" and "join if you can't beat him."
After all, if you really want to talk about it, Lao Lang is the first person to join Wayne's bonus when he can't beat him. He still has a lot of experience to share with Adu.
"Adu, let me tell you. I used to hate Wayne as much as you did. You said, just play basketball. Where can I let people dance on the basketball court?
How annoying!
I swore to myself at that time that even if I never won a championship, I would never play with Wayne.
Guess what? Hey, it smells great!
Since joining Wayne, I have become tougher as a person, I have won championships, and I don’t have to dance anymore.
When other people meet me, they have to call me Brother Wolf.
So, Adu, don't let the opportunity slip away from your hands.
Although you are not here to play with Wayne this time, believe me, Brother Wei will win the championship!"
At that time, Lao Lang discussed with Adu about his experience of joining the team if he couldn't beat it, and then he made this handsome man prefer the Trail Blazers between renewing his contract and leaving.
After Adu joined the team, it was the old wolf Adu who chatted with the management and coaching staff the most.
Therefore, before the finals started, Lao Lang was naturally the first to care about Adu.
Adu nodded silently. He had actually experienced the ultimate pleasure of joining in when he couldn't beat him during the regular season.
Especially after discovering that Turtle Brook had transformed into a triple-double man, Xiaoshuai felt that his choice to run away was the right decision.
Turtlesbrook's crazy triple-doubles were partly due to his irritation with Du Xiaoshuai. Moreover, he also successfully won the MVP this season.
He seems to have proven himself, but also seems to have proven nothing.
Seeing Ah Gui being so frantic and seeing Adams being forced into a 1-8 situation, Adu felt that Curry was simply the best teammate in the world.
Joining if he can't beat him is simply the best decision he has ever made in his career.
At this time, Curry also walked to Adu.
As two core players, they naturally have to encourage their teammates before the game.
So Curry cleared his throat and clapped his hands.
Suddenly, the locker room became quiet, and everyone looked at No. 30.
Wayne also stared at Curry expectantly. His son is becoming more and more like a leader now!
Wayne originally thought that Curry was going to give an impassioned speech to arouse everyone's enthusiasm, just like he did back then.
As a result, Curry's words almost broke Wayne's waist.
"No more talking about my family, the music starts, Adu and I will lead the dance, let's dance to a song in the dressing room to relax!"
After speaking, Curry started playing music, and everyone sat in their seats and swayed to the rhythm of the music.
In the tense moment before the start of the finals, as the core of the defending champion team, he actually led all his teammates to dance wildly in the locker room!
Wayne:???
Wayne was dumbfounded at the time. Standing in the locker room wearing a suit and tie, he looked out of place because he was not cool enough.
He even had the urge to sell this shabby team.
When Du Xiaoshuai met a primary school student, the team went further and further down the road of sand sculpture.
Wayne was speechless. You have not inherited any of the iron-bloodedness and toughness I left behind!
After the game started, looking at Wayne sitting on the sidelines, Lao Zhan had countless grass and mud horses galloping past in his heart.
Some people, even though they have retired, are still the biggest stumbling block on their way to winning the championship.
What makes Lao Zhan even more desperate is that although Wayne has withdrawn from the world, even though Wayne is no longer running forward.
But no matter how hard he chased, it was almost impossible to catch up with Wayne.
Seven championship rings, seven FMVPs, 75 wins in a single season, averaging 42 points per game in the finals
Each of these records is as exaggerated as a science fiction movie.
Wayne: It's easy to surpass me. The standard is set here. If you can't do it, you can only blame your own incompetence.
In the first game of the Finals, Adu scored 38 points and the Trail Blazers won.
In the second game, Adu, Curry and Butler scored 87 points together, leaving the Cavaliers helpless.
In Game 3 in Cleveland, although James and Irving scored 39 and 38 points respectively, they still lost to the Trail Blazers.
3-0, everything is no different from last season.
But this time, in the fourth game of the series, Boss Si took action.
If we win 4-0 in the finals for two consecutive years, wouldn't it be disrespectful to me, Lao Zhan?
So in the fourth game, due to the referee's biased whistle, the Cavaliers had a hard time winning a game that allowed them to regain their face a little bit.
Of course, that's all.
Returning to Portland in Game 5, Adu scored 39 points to lead his team to another victory and win the championship.
After five games in this year's finals, Adu averaged 35.2 points, 8.2 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game.
The total shooting percentage was 55.6%, and the three-point shooting percentage was 47.4%!
There is no doubt that this is one of the greatest Finals performances in NBA history.
He perfectly inherited Wayne's mantle and performed like crazy on the stage of the finals. He is worthy of being called Wayne of the Beautiful Country by people in the world.
Although he doesn't have Wayne's historic defensive performance, although he doesn't have Wayne's trash talk, and although he doesn't have Wayne's handsomeness.
But the performance is already outstanding.
Now, he is truly a man with a 100% winning rate in the finals!
Adu can't wait to go back to the locker room and see how the online fans brag about him.
At the award ceremony, as the team's majority owner, Wayne was the first to receive the O'Brien Trophy from Stern.
Everything seems to have changed, and nothing seems to have changed.
Stern's trophy still has to be handed over to Wayne.
Wayne is still the biggest winner.
The old gangster looked at Wayne, who was on the podium as the boss, and cried into an emoticon.
In the end, did I lose?
The final FMVP was also given to Du Xiaoshuai.
Well, it seems that both in ancient times and now, primary school students have FMVP antibodies.
Wayne looked at Du Shao holding up the FMVP trophy with relief and let out a sigh of relief.
I can really retreat behind the scenes with peace of mind.
Back in the locker room, when everyone else was spraying champagne wildly to celebrate, Du Xiaoshuai suddenly discovered an embarrassing question.
Because I have no experience of winning a championship,
To be continued...
