Chapter 288 The Man (1/5)

While the Spurs were celebrating the championship, the reporter interviewed the 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 a luxury tax in these 15 years, RC and Greg are the best talents, they deserve all the honors."

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

"Thank you Mr. Stern, thank you Pete, thank you all the fans who support the Spurs. Of course, the most important thing to thank is Mike (Burdenholzer) and Chip (England), all the members of the coaching staff and the group of kids standing behind me."

Popovich was a rare and serious time.

"Tim I just saw him laughing, and after the game, it will not be under Joey (Crawford)'s control."

But the seriousness lasted for a while, and his continued words made the audience laugh.

Tang Tian also laughed.

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

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

Even Leonard on the side couldn't help laughing when he said this.

"Manu, you're the youngest person on this team because your shooting hand won't shake at critical moments."

"Tony, I know you and Boris must have made an appointment to go to a nightclub to have your French romance in the evening. Although you are single now, I still want to say that you are a little bit too young."

"Danny, you're a good person."

"Kayah...well, I honestly haven't said a word to him yet."

"Don, my damn confused head, this guy just won me a championship but I almost forgot about him. I owe you a bottle of 1874 Jefferson wine, I will find it."

...

Popovich's words made the audience laugh.

It turns out that he is the most sexy person on the Spurs.

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

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

Because the reporter on the sidelines was conducting the final vote of FMVP, the reporter asked this, which was changing direction to canvass the votes for Tang Tian.

It seems that Tang Tian’s outstanding performance conquered not only the fans, but also the reporters at the venue.

"Well, no, I just got lucky to hit those shots."

Tang Tian said as he shook the bracelet on his wrist.

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

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

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

The 21st rookie is just popular among fans, but Tang Tian didn't expect to put it on the table.

This is really down-to-earth!

But what Tang Tian said was right.

Although he repeatedly scored key goals, his average of only 11.5 points, 2.1 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 3.1 steals, and 1.1 blocks in 6 games.

Although the defensive data are very beautiful, 55% of the two-point shooting and 57% of the three-point shooting 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 series.

In 6 games, Duncan performed normally in 5 games, but the Spurs lost nearly 20 points in the game.

Average of 21.5 points, 12.6 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 2.1 blocks per game, with a shooting percentage of 54%.

Just looking at this data, it is hard to imagine that this is 35-year-old Duncan, but if you know that he is Duncan, this FMVP would be worthy of it.

The interview here ended, and the voting of the reporters over there was also end.

Unlike the selection rules of MVP, the selection of FMVP is relatively simple.

11 media outlets including ESPN, ABC, TNT, NBA.com, USA.Today, etc., have 11 representative reporters to vote.

The person who received the most votes was the final FMVP.

So compared to MVP, his chances are naturally greater.

Although Tang Tian said so, everyone also knows the importance of Duncan to the Spurs.

But before the final result was announced, no one knew who would eventually win the FMVP.

You should know that in addition to Tang Tian, ​​Parker's average of 17.9 points and 9.2 assists per game is also quite good.

Staff came over with envelopes containing the voting results.

Stern took the envelope.

Ginobili and Dior also went over to help Russell to the front desk, and the staff held the FMVP trophy in their hands.

Stern opened the envelope and then used to laugh at him mysteriously.

"The one who won the 2011-2012 NBA Bill Russell (i.e. FMVP) trophy..."

Habitual pauses lift the audience's appetite.

"Tim Duncan."

Duncan won FMVP for the fourth time in his career!

He is the "that man" of the Spurs!

The players behind him heard cheers, and the fans also whistled.

Duncan's FMVP is the least questionable thing to be asked.

Russell handed the trophy to Duncan.

Duncan bent down and handed it with both hands.

Russell shook hands with Duncan and gave him a hug.

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

His actions show that he really likes Duncan, a child.

Duncan raised the trophy with one hand and another smile appeared on his face.

Today is probably the day he has laughed the most this year.

The reporter also came over quickly.

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

"Thank you, thank you everyone."

Duncan's award speech can't be more streamlined.

But just these few words have amused everyone on the scene.

This is really Duncan.

The FMVP award ceremony ended, and the ribbons were sprayed out again on the spot.

The Spurs players cheered again.

The award ceremony on site ended, but the Spurs' celebration has not stopped yet.

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

The championship trophy will be taken back to San Antonio and placed in the arena for display.

But until then, everyone belonged to this team.

"Don't go out to play too late. We will 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 reminded the team members to pay attention to safety.

He is like a Chinese parent.

“Champagne!”

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the champagne that the team members had prepared had already been sprayed onto the old man.

This time it was not just Tang Tian and Duncan, but everyone made Popovich wet.

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

This is the Spurs' championship moment.
Chapter completed!
