Chapter 981: God by the Basketball Court
"Congratulations to Coach Z for winning the fifth NBA championship of his NBA career, and also the first NBA triple championship of his career, similarly, it is a miracle to win five championships in the first 7 years of his NBA career, he is now like a championship coach born for championships, and similarly, congratulations to Kobe Bryant for winning the first championship of his career and the Finals MVP trophy, he is the first player after Carter to win all the MVP in a single season, It's been an extremely great season for him."
When Madison Garden Plaza was booed by the crazy boos of New York fans, Zhuang Fei lifted the championship trophy again, and Kobe Bryant lifted the MVP trophy of the finals when Kenny Smith and Barkley in the stands were also a little excited. It doesn't matter, because they're the winners, and they're the winners anyway.
For the winner, there is no need to question, just worship, of course, Kenny Smith has let go of the obsession with the Lakers not having a traditional center at this time, and at this time Barkley has not forgotten this stubble.
"This Lakers' victory could change an era, and the success of a team without a center would change the entire basketball world, just like he did after the Timberwolves succeeded with offense and fast basketball, which is now the majority of the league's basketball, and this Lakers' success is not known for years to come. Is it true that most teams in NBA1 don't need a center anymore? This is a manager who has changed times. He's in control of the direction of basketball. I'm already in silent mourning for the coaches who are against him, and their opponents may be God on the side of the basketball court."
Zhuang Fei has created a basketball era before, and now the NBA's offensive basketball and small-ball tactics are driven by Zhuang Fei, and Zhuang Fei is about to create another era, no one will doubt this, as for the God on the side of the court, for the crazy title of Barkley, Kenny Smith on the side does not feel anything bad. A coach who enters the league with a regular season record of more than 80% and can bring the team to the division finals at the lowest level, no matter how bad the team is, is no longer comparable to any other NBA coach, and there is nothing wrong with saying that he is the god on the basketball court or the first person on the basketball court.
That's what he's capable of.
Of course, at this time, the two TNT commentators on the scene were frantically touting Zhuang Fei, and Zhuang Fei naturally wouldn't know these at this time, for Zhuang Fei, although he was very excited to be booed in the boos of New York Knicks fans, he was also a little regretful. After all, it would be legendary to win the championship on the territory of a sworn enemy, but it is not as warm as winning the championship on its own turf. Boos can stimulate a man's passion, but too much passion is not good, at this time Zhuang Fei, like the Lakers players, misses the crazy applause of Staples Arena.
"Coach, I can't wait to get back to LA right now, I'm going to make all Angelenos go crazy about this trophy as we do"
Kobe Bryant's excited look at this time was simply able to burn the Lakers' home player, and for the Lakers' home player's statement, other Lakers players on the side also nodded in agreement, although these guys are not Chinese, but the idea of returning home is the same everywhere.
"I think you should be the first to take this trophy to the hospital and show Perry, I think he's definitely looking forward to it by this time."
Looking at these excited Lakers players, Zhuang Fei also said with a smile, and after Zhuang Fei finished speaking, these Lakers players were also eager to try again.
It is a pity to win the championship this time, in addition to not being at home and not being able to enjoy the boos, that is, as one of the team's most important players, Hardaway was not present at this time.
And just like Zhuang Fei proposed, after these Lakers players simply accepted the interview with reporters, this group of Lakers players left with the championship trophy and went directly to the hospital where Hardaway is now, Hardaway now needs to be hospitalized for a day of observation, otherwise the Lakers veteran would have returned to Madison Garden Plaza by himself, and as Zhuang Fei thought, the veteran was indeed greedy when he saw his teammates on TV lifting the championship trophy he dreamed of.
Of course, the Lakers players can leave after a simple interview at this time, and for Zhuang Fei, he will not have the same treatment as a Lakers player.
After all, as the top head coach of the league, Zhuang Fei is the focus of all the media around the world at this time
When Zhuang Fei left the court for the post-game press conference, it was already early in the morning, and the Lakers players and Zhuang Fei celebrated a little long time in the Madison Garden Plaza, although the fans were all booing, but it obviously did not affect the enthusiasm of the Lakers players.
And in the same way, although it was a little late to come to the press conference this time, it also did not blow away the enthusiasm of these media for Zhuang Fei, and it can even be said that Zhuang Fei's appearance made these guys more enthusiastic, at least, when these reporters who had been waiting for a long time saw Zhuang Fei appear, they all frantically got up from the chair or immediately stopped chatting and rushed to Zhuang Fei, if it were not for the on-site security to stop it, it is estimated that the press table would be trampled by these people, And the reason why these people are so crazy is just to say hello to Zhuang Fei.
"Mr. Zhuang, congratulations on winning the NBA championship again"
"Coach Z, you're the best, crazy three-in-a-row!"
"Mr. Zhuang, a great five-time NBA champion, you are the best NBA coach"
Before Zhuang Fei sat down, these reporters were already frantically congratulating Zhuang Fei, and this was also the scene of the press conference. However, Zhuang Fei can also understand the madness of these reporters.
After all, the Lakers' championship this year means a lot. And this game is also a game of great significance.
"Mr. Zhuang. Congratulations, this is the fifth NBA championship trophy of your career, you said last year that you are bound to win this year's championship, I think you must not have thought that it was the Los Angeles Lakers who won your fifth championship trophy, right? Is there a difference in your mood at this time compared to when you were in Boston last year?"
In 2004, with the Boston Celtics winning two consecutive championships, plus a five-year contract extension with the Celtics, almost everyone would think that Zhuang Fei would start his first dynasty in the NBA in Boston. It's just that what people didn't expect was that such a dynasty did not appear, instead Zhuang Fei returned to the Lakers, and the Boston Celtics missed the finals, which is a very sad thing, for many people, especially Boston Celtics fans or Bostonians It is a very sad thing, so after the reporter raised this question, other reporters were also a little worried, after all, asking such a question at Zhuang Fei's championship celebration didn't make Zhuang Fei unhappy?
Of course. This is New York, not Zhuang Fei's home turf. So the press conference here will not take care of Zhuang Fei's feelings, so Zhuang Fei is also prepared for many spicy questions that will arise here, such as the question that came up at the beginning.
"It's very special, it feels very special to lead the Celtics and Lakers to win the NBA championship for two consecutive years" Zhuang Fei did not get angry at this time as many people imagined, but looked at the reporter who asked the question with a smile and continued: "The Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics are the two greatest teams in the NBA, and it is not easy to succeed in these two teams, this is a very challenging job, it should be said that these are two very challenging jobs, It was very challenging as head coach of the Celtics and head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, but in the end I was able to do it, even though it was a bit unexpected, and for me, it's something to be proud of to win three in a row in Boston and a championship with the Lakers, because in the end I'm a champion, and that's never going to change, I'm going to be the winner forever."
When Zhuang Fei finally raised his tone and said slightly loudly, 'I will always be the winner', the scene was originally slightly noisy The status quo immediately became quiet, obviously, Zhuang Fei's words sounded a little arrogant, because there can only be one person and thing who dares to say that he will always be the winner, and that is God, it is obvious that the bearer of the three-in-a-row championship and the NBA history is a continuous leader of the Los Angeles Lakers and Celtics to the glory of the championship, Zhuang Fei is qualified to say such things.
I'm afraid that now, after Jordan retires, there is such a person who dares to say that he can always bring victory like the god of basketball, of course, Jordan is on the court, and he is on the sidelines.
"Mr. Zhuang, we all know that when you accepted this team, you sent O'Neal away, you pushed Malone back, you drove away Van Exel and Payton, did you think at that time that you might suffer a defeat here, did this success make you feel a little lucky? Before that, have you considered the possibility of failure, such as Kobe Bryant's inability to take the responsibility you give him, such as the Lakers' three old players who continue to suffer injuries, or the Lakers' other young players who are not adapting to the NBA? ”
At the beginning of this season, Zhuang Fei came to the Lakers really scared, after all, the water of the Lakers was too deep at that time, it can be said that whoever dared to jump was suicide, and Zhuang Fei jumped, not only jumped, but also dug the pond deeper, at the beginning of the season, a series of operations can not only be described with suicide, but in the eyes of many people, this Chinese coach is digging his own grave and damaging his reputation, so at this time Zhuang Fei also felt a little interesting when he heard this question, Although the New York reporter's tone was a little blunt, it was also polite, and they did not have the same contempt for Zhuang Fei, the victor, as before.
"First of all, I need to make it clear that at the beginning of the season, I did send Shaq away, but I kept him, but in the end he chose to leave, and if he hadn't left, I wouldn't have sent him to New York, and I think you know my relationship with New York and Mr. Phil Jackson. I'm not going to take a player like Shaq to consult. So it wasn't me who sent him away. It's that he wants to go to New York, and I didn't stop him," Zhuang Fei smiled after saying this, ignored the New York reporter just now, and said with a faint expression: "Also, Ma Long was not forced to retire by me, and I also retained him, one of the best power forwards in NBA history, but he was not willing to assist me like Phil, I think he hated me more than Phil, as for Payton and Van Exel." They didn't even give me a chance to contact them, so it wasn't that I wanted to get rid of them, but they fired me."
When Zhuang Fei said this, the reporters in the audience also smiled knowingly, obviously, they didn't know the inside story of these Lakers before, what they knew was that Zhuang Fei used his strength to drive away all the cronies of his opponent Phil Jackson, this Chinese head coach is just like Marbury said, as long as someone doesn't mean it, he will be wiped out. And now Zhuang Fei's explanation is obviously that he doesn't want to bear such a charge anymore.
"Of course, they're all Mr. Phil Jackson's favourite players. Such players have enough ability to make all managers love, and I am no exception, I admire them, and it's a shame not to be able to work with them, but for me, Kobe, Webb, Hill, Hardaway and others are also extremely good, and if you ask me if you ever think that Kobe Bryant can't take the responsibility I give him, I will say never questioned, many years ago I said that he is one of the most underrated players in the NBA, he is a player who is not inferior to Carter, In fact, as you saw this year, 42 points per game in the regular season, 49.5 points per game in the Finals, 82 points per game in the regular season, and 78 points in a single game in the Finals, these are all legends, he is a legendary player, as for Hill, Webb and Hardaway, their injuries are not worth mentioning compared to their energy, besides, I am willing to gamble, and my luck in gambling has always been good, this time, I seem to have won again."
In the end, when Zhuang Fei smiled and said, 'It seems that I won the bet again', and also made a somewhat helpless gesture, the scene laughed again.
At this time, many reporters also saw that the Chinese were in a very happy mood today, and some meticulous reporters even found that the mood of the Chinese head coach has been very happy in the past half month, and it stands to reason that although he may not be angry when he is asked a lot of sharp questions in the past, his face will not be so good, and he will not play with them with a sense of humor, but they don't know why this Chinese is so happy in recent times.
Of course, although it is not clear why this Chinese is so happy recently, as long as Zhuang Fei is in a good mood now, they can continue to ask some sharp questions, which is definitely an extremely happy thing for them, so when Zhuang Fei was bombarded with all kinds of sharp questions in the next period of time, the Chinese coach who has been happy recently was a little overwhelmed.
After all, being bombarded indiscriminately by these people for an hour or two, Zhuang Fei couldn't resist even if he was in a good mood, but fortunately, these people were still quite knowledgeable, and when he saw that the final clock was about to point to two o'clock, this press conference was about to end.
In fact, Zhuang Fei has already given them enough face today, although these uncrowned kings are some guys who climb the pole, but in the face of Zhuang Fei, they are more sad than in the face of the President of the United States, since Zhuang Fei is willing to show them goodwill, they can also give Zhuang Fei some face.
"Mr. Zhuang, can you tell us about Perry's current injury?"
At the end of the press conference, the questions faced by Zhuang Fei are not so difficult to answer, for example, Hardaway who was injured in the last save of this game is very related to these people, Hardaway's personality is very charismatic, from the reporter mentioned Hardaway's nickname 'Perry' can be imagined, this Lakers veteran is one of the few players in the NBA who can be liked by all walks of life.
"Perry's injury is fine, he's lucky that he's just a little bit of a nerve squeeze in his back, it's fine, it's not going to affect his career, he's in the hospital tonight for a day, and he can be discharged tomorrow and go back to Los Angeles with us.
After Zhuang Fei smiled and reported Hardaway's injury, these reporters were also a little relieved, when the Cavaliers were in the playoffs, Hardaway was also in the playoffs, facing the Celtics led by Zhuang Fei that year, and finally because of the crazy breakthrough caused almost irreparable damage and even affected his career, the desperate and sacrificial spirit of the swingman almost touched the whole United States at that time.
"Mr. Zhuang, you said a long time ago that when you collect five championship rings, you will get married, is this still true? Will you get married this year? ”
After these reporters were worried about Hardaway's question, they thought that the press conference was over, but when a reporter in the back seat stood up and asked this question, there was another commotion at the scene, and after the commotion, everyone quickly looked at Zhuang Fei.
At this time, Zhuang Fei nodded with a wry smile after being stunned for a while.
"That's right, I'm getting married soon"
When Zhuang Fei gave his own answer, all the reporters at the scene were stunned, and when they woke up and were about to launch a new round of bombardment on Zhuang Fei again, they found that Zhuang Fei had already left or fled.
And this is also what makes these reporters beat their chests a little.
