Starting from the last bus in the NBA

Chapter 412

Chapter 412

Second away win.

Moreover, they are all in New Jersey, on the Nets' territory.

This time, there were still many fans on the scene who were unwilling to leave. They were very quiet and did not want to cheer for the Supersonics at all.

Wang Hao didn't think there was a problem.

In fact, he even felt that the Nets fans were nice enough that at least no one was making trouble.

Winning the championship at the door of someone else's house, and twice!

And the Nets, also under the leadership of Kidd, successfully achieved two consecutive sub-consecutive feats.

You know, in the history of the NBA, there are not many teams that can complete consecutive championships, but they are by no means few.

At least, since entering the new century, there have been two times.

There are really not many teams that can complete two consecutive Asian games. The last time they met the Bulls' Utah duo.

At this time, a simple stage has been set up in the center of the arena at the Continental Airlines Arena.

More than that, ESPN reporters and NBA president David Stern have also appeared.

Of course, the protagonist is the Sonics.

In addition to Wang Hao and others, the Supersonic coaching staff, management, and team owners also attended the scene.

"NBA 2002~2003 season championship is...Seattle SuperSonics!"

The trophy symbolizing the championship was awarded to team owner Howard Schultz by David Stern.

Howard Schultz was smiling all over his face, and he looked younger by several years.

I have to say, this guy is really lucky.

You know, this is only the third year he has taken over the team, and the Sonics have brought him back two championships.

These two championships have definitely greatly improved Howard Schultz's worth.

"I'm honored to have such a great team, we have a great coach, we have great players.

Although I am the owner of the team, this championship definitely belongs to them.

We couldn't have won a championship without Paul, without Wang, without anyone else.

I hope that in the future, we can still work together. The road ahead is still long, and the challenges will never stop. "

……

I have to say that as expected of a capitalist, what he said sounds nice.

It's just that, the task of the Sonics this summer will not seem easy.

Including Gary Payton and PJ Brown, the Sonics have several players whose contracts expire.

And if you want to keep these people, you can't let them stay with just a few words.

After all, you still have to have real money.

After Howard Schultz, Willie Walker, the team's general manager, and head coach Paul Westphal were also interviewed.

The two were very happy, even at this time, they still looked excited.

Leading the team to win two consecutive championships, even if the two retire in situ, they will leave a strong mark in the history of the Sonics.

Especially Paul Westphal, who was elected to the NBA Hall of Fame, has no problems.

"The most valuable player in the NBA Finals from 2002 to 2003 is...Wang Hao!"

David Stern made a habit of deliberately pausing when the MVP was announced.

It's a pity that such a pause did not cause any suspense, because everyone knows that there is only one most valuable player.

That is Wang Hao!

As Gary Payton gets older, today's Supersonics belong to Wang Hao's team alone.

Of course, the Sonics have an excellent lineup with a group of very good players.

It's just that Wang Hao is the one who leads the team.

To put it more bluntly, let's talk directly about the data, how did Wang Hao perform in the five finals?

33.8分8.2篮板5.8助攻，除此之外，还有2抢断1.6盖帽。

Such a performance, even in the history of the entire NBA Finals, is very eye-catching.

Not only that, in the NBA Finals, Wang Hao shot an average of 48.6% from the field.

The three-point shooting percentage even reached 43.1%. Such data is simply maddening.

It is precisely because Wang Hao cannot be restricted that this makes the Nets look very weak in the finals.

After all, the Nets are not an offensive team, but a defensive team.

How can a defensive team win if they can't defend their opponents?

After all, it is the territory of the Nets, and the Sonics' award ceremony did not last long.

They quickly returned to the locker room, where they could celebrate with impunity.

Not to mention Wang Hao, even the head coach Paul Westphal couldn't escape the champagne baptism.

After accepting the necessary interviews, the Sonics chartered a flight back to Seattle without delay.

In any case, after all, it is on other people's territory, and the supersonic speed can't be lucky at all.

Moreover, it is not the first time for them to win the championship, so they have to be more reserved.

Not just the Sonics, but also Seattle, which is said to have prepared a grand parade.

However, everything will be in two days.

Now that the Sonics are on vacation, everyone can make their own time.

After Wang Hao returned home, he didn't continue to celebrate, but buried his head in a sleep first.

After a whole season, for more than half a year, even he was a little tired.

Although tired, it's just that Wang Hao's fighting power is obvious to all, and his recovery power is also extremely strong.

The excited Ambrosio wanted to provoke some more, so naturally Wang Hao would not be polite, and directly rushed into the dragon.

Poor Ambrosio, like a plantain hit by the rain, was really tossed hard.

To say more about the supermodel's superior fighting power, in Wang Hao's opinion, it seems that's it!

Wang Hao wanted to hide in the villa, but it was obviously impossible.

It is impossible for the major media to let him go like this.

It can be said that from the second day after winning the championship, the major media have already come to the door.

It also includes CCTV, and there is no way to refuse.

After discussing with Jeff Schwartz, Wang Hao had to choose to accept interviews from several media.

Today's media is still an uncrowned king, and they cannot be offended, but must be friendly.

Offending the media is usually invisible, but once something happens, it will definitely not make you feel better.

For example, Kobe, the occurrence of the Eagle County incident directly made him a street mouse, and everyone shouted and beat him.

If it weren't for the fact that in the next few years, he continued to squeeze his energy and give full play.

Played all kinds of incredible scoring performances, and later achieved two consecutive championships.

Not to mention his future NBA achievements and historical status, it is estimated that he will be sprayed by the media and retire on the spot.

Not to mention that Kobe is controversial about this matter, even if he really did it.

To be honest, is this a big deal in America in the capitalist world?

In the United States, things that are several times, or even dozens of times, more abhorrent than this happen every day.

Either a capitalist or a celebrity.

The reason why Kobe has such a situation is that the media's fueling is a big factor.

Among them, there are naturally reasons why the media chases the news. In addition, it is also the poor relationship between Kobe and the media.

Once he made a move, instead of speaking for him, the major media would add fuel to the flames.

Of course Wang Hao wouldn't do these things, it's unnecessary and not worth it!

It's just that it is very necessary to have a good relationship with the media. Who made him a public figure?

I also participated in the supersonic press conference and the championship parade, which gave enough exposure and news.

The media could be regarded as temporarily letting Wang Hao go.

After finishing many activities, Wang Hao didn't delay, he simply left Seattle and ran to Hawaii.

The vacation is only incidental, mainly to avoid media harassment.

Wang Hao still has time for vacation, and at this time, Wang Zhizhi has also returned to China.

It is said that on the day of his return, countless media wanted to interview him, which had already affected the operation of the airport.

After all, besides Wang Hao, he is the second Chinese player to win the championship.

Moreover, compared to Wang Hao's sudden rise, Wang Zhizhi is even more familiar to Huaxia fans.

To be honest, Wang Zhizhi's pursuit is not at all lower than when Yao Ming became the No. [-] pick.

It's just that I'm a little sorry for Battelle.

That's right, Battelle still joined the Lakers, although he didn't play against the Sonics.

In the original time and space, Battelle also obtained a ring, but now it is gone.

In Hawaii, Wang Hao lived a shameless life. Of course, he did not forget to pay attention to the NBA.

After all, a hot man is coming.

In any case, LeBron James has been questioned by many people, such as being in a group, such as being disloyal to the team.

In addition, there is David Stern's godson, a four-step layup...

It can be said that NBA stars have more or less black spots, but James is definitely a master.

There are too many black spots on James' body.

But one thing is undeniable, that is, James is definitely the player with the greatest personal influence in the post-Jordan era.

Of course, this refers to the original time and space, but not necessarily now.

There is naturally a reason for paying so much attention to James, because he has heard some news.

Officially in the NBA, there are plans to launch some players.

To put it bluntly, they are the four major shooting guards of the original time and space. In addition, there are newcomers such as James.

NBA officials need to ensure that they can play more exciting data and get more exposure.

As for the reason, it was naturally because of Wang Hao.

Although there are still many media who bite the bullet and do not recognize Wang Hao's status as an active player.

A few years ago, after winning the championship, O'Neal was recognized as the active No.1 in the NBA.

And now, Wang Hao has won two consecutive championships.

The reason is because of his identity, he is a Chinese, not an American.

Today is not an era of flooding international players, and the NBA still has some traditional American professional basketball.

NBA officials are eager for overseas interests, but they prefer to see their own stars.

To put it bluntly, Wang Hao is not his own.

Of course, as one of the cash cows of the NBA today, it is impossible for NBA officials to take the initiative to target Wang Hao.

It's just that their plan is to launch some star players, players who can compete with Wang Hao.

Therefore, Wang Hao paid special attention to this year's draft.

Of course, it is also to remember the past, after all, this is the golden generation of 03!

"In the first round of the 2003 NBA Draft, the Cleveland Cavaliers selected...LeBron James from St. Vincent's St. Mary's High School."

As David Stern's voice sounded, countless fans cheered loudly at this moment.

That's right, even if he hasn't entered the NBA, James already has a large number of fans.

And it's not just limited to Akron County, and it's not just limited to Ohio.

James fans, that's all over the United States.

It can be said that after Kobe Bryant, James is another high school player who has received widespread attention before entering the NBA.

Not to mention other high school players, even NCAA players are not as popular as the two.

Especially James, in terms of popularity alone, he can already be called a star.

James is different from Kobe. Kobe is pure self-confidence and doesn't want to waste time in college.

As for James, it is said that James' mother accepted a gift from a sponsor in violation of NCAA regulations.

I have to say that the NCAA is the real cannibalism.

Not only does the NCAA not need to pay players' salaries, but it also makes a lot of money by itself.

Not only that, players are not even allowed to participate in commercial activities.

It sounds good to say, in order to ensure the purity of the NCAA, it cannot be polluted by commerce.

It can only be said that the management of the NCAA is too ruthless.

Compared with the NCAA, the NBA is like a great benevolent person, helping players change their destiny.

In the second pick, the Pistons chose Dakomilicic from Serbia.

This is the second most famous parallel importer in NBA history.

In the history of the NBA, not to mention the second place in parallel imports, even the number one in parallel imports, there are not a few.

But why is Darko Milicic so famous?

Naturally, it was because of the strength of the 03 golden generation.

Dakomilicic's draft prospects were even considered to have threatened James' No. [-] pick.

Some people even said that, if it weren't for Cleveland who got the No. [-] pick, James might not be the No. [-] pick.

Behind the Milicic, Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh.

These are all All-Star players.

It is precisely because of these people that Dakomilicic is unforgettable and his identity as a parallel importer is remembered.

It's strange to say, why did the Pistons choose Milicic, but not use him?

It was earlier this month, not long after the Pistons were eliminated by the Nets.

Larry Brown has successfully poached and replaced Rick Carlisle as the head coach of the Pistons.

In other words, the Pistons' choice of Milicic was actually the decision of head coach Larry Brown.

Larry Brown chose it himself, but didn't use it?

There are only two possibilities, Larry Brown really doesn't like this rookie, or Milicic doesn't have the strength.

But even if the ability is insufficient, it should be no problem to go out and exercise in the garbage time, right?

In the entire rookie season, Milicic, who was the second pick, played 30 games and averaged less than 5 minutes per game.

That's true, there is no chance to pick up trash.

With the third pick, the Denver Nuggets still chose Anthony.

Because the Sonics did not participate, the draft this time is almost the same as in memory.

No way, the so-called top player in the regular season of the NBA, the Sonics have basically no high-ranking picks in recent seasons.

As for obtaining high-ranking picks through trades, there is no need for this, and the Supersonic lineup does not need too many changes.
