276 That Man (1/5)

Chapter 276 That Man (15)

While the Spurs players were celebrating the championship, the reporter interviewed team owners Holt and Popovich one after another.

"It's a great team, like Mr. Stern said, 5 championships in 15 years, which is really incredible, and we haven't paid the luxury tax in 15 years, RC and Greg The best of the best, and they deserve all the credit."

Holt seemed very happy, and won the most championships with the least amount of money. He is definitely a clear stream in the league.

"Thank you Mr. Stern, thank you Pete, thank you to all the fans who supported the Spurs, of course, most of all, I need to thank Mike (Budenholzer) and Chip (England), all the members of the coaching staff and the station. The kids behind me."

Popovich was rarely serious.

"Tim, I saw him smile just now. After the game, it will not belong to Joey (Crawford)."

But the seriousness lasted only a moment, and what he said next made everyone laugh.

Tang Tian also laughed out loud.

To be honest, although he is about the same age as Popovich, in terms of mentality, he is not as relaxed as Popovich.

"Just kidding, Tim, your smile is the most charming."

Even Leonard beside him couldn't help laughing at these words.

"Manu, you are the youngest person on this team, because your shooting hands don't shake at critical moments."

"Tony, I know that you and Boris must have made an appointment to go to the nightclub to have your French romance. Although you are single now, I still want to say take it easy, you are not young."

"Danny, you're a nice guy."

"Kawhi... well, I haven't had a word with him to be honest."

"Don, my goddamn confused head, this guy just helped me win a championship and I almost forgot about him, I owe you a bottle of 1874 Jefferson, I'll find it."

...

Popovich's words kept the audience amused.

It turned out that he was the hottest guy on the Spurs.

The reporter then interviewed GDP and Tang Tian one after another.

"Our Mr. Key, in the 4 games you won, you scored key goals in 3 games. You have a super super big heart. Do you think you will win the FMVP?"

Because the reporter on the sidelines was in the final vote for the FMVP, this reporter asked this, and it was a change of direction to canvass for Tang Tian.

It seems that Tang Tian's outstanding performance conquered not only the fans, but also the field reporters.

"Well, no, I just got lucky and made those shots."

Tang Tian shook the braided rope bracelet on his wrist while speaking.

This immediately attracted a flash of spotlight from the reporters on the sidelines.

"Tim's performance is the most critical part of our winning the game. He is the No. 21 rookie."

When Tang Tian said this, Duncan was the first to laugh, and the fans and teammates were also overjoyed.

The No. 21 rookie meme was only popular among fans, but Tang Tian didn't expect to put it directly on the stage.

It's really down to earth!

But Tang Tian was right.

Although he made key shots repeatedly, after 6 games, his averages were only 11.5 points, 2.1 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 3.1 steals and 1.1 blocks per game.

Although the defensive end data is very beautiful, and 55% of the two-pointers and 57% of the three-pointers are also very eye-catching.

But this data is obviously not enough for him to get FMVP.

And as he said, Duncan is the most critical figure in this round of the series.

In 6 games, Duncan played normally in 5 games. In the abnormal game, the Spurs lost by nearly 20 points.

Averaged 21.5 points, 12.6 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 2.1 blocks per game, shooting 54% from the field.

Just looking at this data, it is hard to imagine that this is the 35-year-old Duncan, but if you know that he is Duncan, this FMVP will be even more well-deserved.

The interview here is over, and the reporter voting over there is also over.

Unlike the MVP selection rules, the FMVP selection is relatively much simpler.

Out of 11 media including ESPN, ABC, TNT, NBA.com, USA.Today, etc., 11 voted on behalf of reporters.

The person with the most votes is the final FMVP.

So compared to the MVP, his chance is naturally greater.

Although Tang Tian said so, everyone knew how important Duncan was to the Spurs.

But before the final result is announced, no one knows who the FMVP will end up with.

You must know that apart from Tang Tian, ​​Parker averaged 17.9 points and 9.2 assists per game.

The staff came over with the envelope containing the voting results.

Stern took the envelope.

Ginobili and Dior also helped Russell to the front desk, and the staff held the FMVP trophy.

Stern opened the envelope, and smiled mysteriously out of habit.

"The one who won the 2011~2012 season NBA Bill Russell (ie FMVP) trophy is..."

The habitual pause whetted the appetite of the audience.

"Tim Duncan."

Duncan won the FMVP for the fourth time in his career!

He is "the man" for the Spurs!

The players behind cheered and the fans whistled.

Duncan's FMVP is the last thing to question.

Russell handed the trophy to Duncan.

Duncan bent down and offered it with both hands.

Russell shook Duncan's hand and gave him a hug.

As the Lord of the Rings, Russell is very respected by players, even O'Neill is respectful in front of him.

His behavior shows that he really loves the child Duncan.

Duncan raised the trophy with one hand, another burst of smiles appeared on his face.

Today was probably the day he laughed the most this year.

The reporter also came over quickly.

Duncan held the trophy in one hand and delivered his acceptance speech with the other.

"Thank you, thank you all."

Duncan's acceptance speech couldn't have been more succinct.

But these few words had already made everyone present amused.

It's really Duncan.

The FMVP Awards Ceremony ended, and ribbons were sprayed out again.

The Spurs cheered again.

The on-site award ceremony is over, but the Spurs' celebrations have not stopped.

Excited players and Popovich returned to the locker room with their championship trophy.

The championship trophy will be brought back to San Antonio and put on display in the arena.

But until then, everyone on this team.

"Don't go out to play too late, we have a championship parade in two days, I don't want any of you to be absent."

The old man was very happy, but he still did not forget to remind the team members to pay attention to safety.

He looks like a Chinese-style parent.

"Champagne!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, the champagne prepared by the team members was sprayed on the old man.

This time it wasn't just Tang Tian and Duncan, everyone got Popovich wet together.

Popovich didn't pretend to be angry this time, and laughed while hugging his head.

It was a championship moment for the Spurs.

A season of hard work, just for this moment.
