Chapter 517 FMVP is(2/2)
Isn’t this a kind of destiny?
From sharing in the rookie game to now sharing in FMVP, this is destined to be a good story.
What is slightly embarrassing is that because the league did not expect this situation to occur, they only prepared one FMVP trophy.
Bill Russell held the trophy in his hand, and for the first time, the old man was a little at a loss.
However, Lin Ying and Durant each stretched out a hand and took the trophy from the old man, resolving the awkwardness.
When the two men tried to lift the trophy from the middle, cheers filled the arena.
This accident made the "Texas Twins" even more legendary!
…
"I will retire after this season. Mark and I have discussed it. I will serve as a team consultant just like Jerry did back then."
Durant was partying with the players in the locker room, while Karl dragged Lin Ying to chat outside the locker room.
"Coach, your body..."
Lin Ying had a feeling before on the playing field.
Now that Karl actually said it, it was still a bit hard to accept.
"It's not very good, but I won't die, but it's hard to be qualified for this job."
Karl basically explained the situation clearly in one sentence.
This situation is similar to that of Sloan.
It's just that Sloan did it because of his age, and Carl did it because of illness.
Lin Ying didn't know what to say for a moment. It was impossible to retain him, but it was clear that Karl could lead them to win more championships and become famous in the true sense.
"Basketball isn't everything in life, is it?"
After all, Karl was Lin Ying's mentor. He saw the struggle on Lin Ying's expression and then spoke.
This sentence touched Lin Ying again. Delong also said similar words back then.
Perhaps only by experiencing the ups and downs of life can we have such an understanding.
Lin Ying finally nodded.
Moreover, Lin Ying had already introduced Tang Tian to Karl at the beginning, and Karl's ups and downs in illness were mostly caused by fatigue.
So now Karl can go and rest, he should be happy.
After all, Karl already has two championships in his hands, which is much better than in history.
"Don't worry, I have already recommended Tailen to Mark. He is a coach that is very suitable for the team."
Karl continued.
Tyronn refers to Tyronn Lue.
Lu is very good at communicating with the players and has a low profile as a coach, making him very popular among the players.
And compared to Barnes, his tactical literacy is indeed much higher.
Lu becomes the head coach and Barnes is the first assistant coach. The quality of this coaching staff will not be bad.
After chatting with Karl, Lin Ying began to receive text messages and phone calls one after another.
These are the daily routine of every championship night and are indispensable.
Of course there are some differences.
For example, Kobe Bryant came to watch the game tonight and has not left the arena yet. I asked him to meet him.
Of course Lin Ying did not refuse.
After a while, the two met in the corridor.
"Now you have as many championships as me."
Kobe said as soon as they met.
The familiar words were spoken by O'Neill when he interviewed Lin Ying before.
The two of them talked about many topics.
From Kobe's tone, Lin Ying heard something unexpected.
Kobe is looking forward to next season, but it's not his longing for a retirement tour, but his desire for a championship.
"Maybe I can win the fifth championship earlier than you?"
This is somewhat abnormal.
You can't have your cake and eat it too. It's impossible for Kobe to talk about having a retirement tour and then compete for a championship.
The only possibility is that something happened to change Kobe's mind and Kobe may not retire next season.
If that's the case, it wouldn't be surprising.
Because Kobe wanted to retire, he did not make it public, and only a limited number of people knew about it.
Could it be that Bosh's blood clots are different from those in history? Is he expected to return next season?
Lin Ying didn't ask further questions because Kobe didn't seem to have anything to say.
But all this should be answered soon.
After separating from Kobe, Lin Ying received another call from Duncan.
These two mentors when he entered the league would contact him immediately after every time he won a championship.
"I'm retiring."
Unlike Kobe, Duncan and Duncan directly talked about one thing at the end of the conversation.
Duncan's character won't do any kind of retirement tour. If he wants to leave, he will just announce his departure.
Lin Ying was not surprised by this result, because according to history, Duncan also retired in this year.
The Spurs' current lineup is similar to that in history, and this decision is normal.
"When I go to San Antonio to race, I'll meet you at the garage."
Lin Ying said with a smile.
…
While the Nets were cheering for the championship, fans on social media were already in a frenzy.
"Congratulations to Green, happy to win the championship with 73 wins!"
"Green: The championship trophy will be lifted in Oakland. Accurate prediction, good luck!"
"If I were Green, I would announce my retirement right now!" A comment from "Supreme VIP Lin Ying's No. 1 Fan".
"I want to apologize to Durant. Facts have proved that he can read people very accurately. Green is an out-and-out clown."
"Durant accepted your apology." A comment from "Supreme VIP Lin Ying Fan No. 2".
"I think 'joke' is more appropriate. Don't let Jokic take the blame. He doesn't deserve to be a 'clown'!"
"Curry is too blue. Why did he put a teammate like Green on the table? Not only will he lose, but he will be nailed to the pillar of shame forever!"
"The Warriors' strategy throughout the season was a failure. They fought hard to get 73 wins until the whole team was tired, and then Curry got injured in the first round. As a result, the 73 wins turned from an honor into a joke. Green was not the only one who was a joke, but the whole team was!"
"No, no, it's not that the Warriors are weak, it's that the Nets are too strong. I can already see the Nets dynasty!"
"This is the first time I have felt the dominance of a team since the 'OK Combination', and there is a big difference between it and the 'OK Combination'. There is no internal conflict between the two cores, ヽ(
??▽?)ノ”
"If you can speak, speak more." A comment from "Supreme VIP Lin Ying Fan No. 3".
"There is another even scarier thing. Jokic, a rookie, still has two years of benefits...the Nets still have room for reinforcements with a maximum salary this summer!"
"But I think it's still difficult for the Nets to strengthen. With three championships in four years and two stars, no one will do a deal with them."
"Free agent signings. There are a lot of free agents this summer, including James, Howard, DeRozan, Wade, Horford, Mike Conley, Rondo, etc. Who wouldn't want a championship if they have one?"
"I suggest LeBron go to the Nets and win the championship instead of complaining!"
"Join if you can't beat me?"
"The hardest road?"
"Defeat to the enemy Zhan?"
Chapter completed!
