Amid the warm cheers of the fans of the audience, Mr. Russell, who is in his 60s this year, personally presented the FMVP trophy to Howard.

The moment he received the FMVP trophy, Howard's smile on his face became more obvious.

Obviously, this Most Valuable Player Trophy is a recognition of Howard's contribution this season.

Although the Magic have won the championship trophy this season, it is definitely not just Howard's contribution, but the others' contributions are also huge.

But in most of the inside partners, Tkoglu or Lewis, Howard can be said to be alone and supports the defense of the entire Magic team.

Even though Howard's offensive skills are still very rough at this time, he often has some irrational force-attacks from the inside.

However, compared to the contribution Howard can make to the team on the defensive end, these small flaws can be completely ignored.

After Mr. Russell presented Howard with the Most Valuable Trophy in the Finals, the boiling sound of the entire Orlando Arena has not stopped.

Because this is the first time the Magic have won the NBA championship trophy since the Orlando Magic was established in 1989.

So for local fans in Orlando, in recent days, fans in the whole city will obviously be silent in joy. After all, for this championship trophy, Orlando fans have been sticking to it for 20 years.

Unlike the small-sized football market like the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Magic quickly grew into the rusher of the championship trophy after its establishment in 1989.

Since the 1990s, the Magic have never lacked stars in their history. Whether it is O'Neal, Penny Hardaway, or later Grant Hill and McGrady, these people can be regarded as famous players in the league.

But no matter how outstanding the personal abilities of these players are or how impressive the data they have won in the regular season, they ultimately failed to help the Magic win the supreme championship trophy.

And when the regular season just started this year, Magic fans never thought that the team would actually win the championship trophy this year.

You know, all this is too sudden. The sudden rise of the Magic not only made other fans in the league feel amazed, but even local fans in Orlando feel the surprise.

Among them, for Magic fans, the most surprising thing is probably Su Jiu's strong rise this season.

At the beginning of this season, due to the weak position of point guards, the team could not find the third player to be able to become the ball control point on the back line except for the fat man Nelson and the elderly Tyron Lu.

In addition, since it had been a long time since the free market was opened, the point guard, which was quite excellent on the market, had long been looted by other teams.

The remaining players in the last batch of players, in addition to the fact that their personal strength and required salary are not equal, are more because these people have defects of all sizes and it is difficult for them to truly become qualified rotation players.

So in the end, after a series of choices, the team signed Su Jiu, who was not selected at the draft at the time, for a very small price.

It is no exaggeration to say that when I first chose to sign Su Jiu, the Magic never thought of cultivating Su Jiu, nor did they think of making Su Jiu the main rotation figure in the team.

At that time, the reason why the Magic team enjoyed Su Jiu in many player centers was because Su Jiu had excellent physical conditions.

Although Su Jiu could be said to be perfect at that time, he was relaxed. However, with Su Jiu's strong physical condition, the Magic believed that Su Jiu had at least the potential to become a defender.

At least he can replace veteran Tyron Lu at a certain period of time and successfully contribute to the field.

However, no one expected that during the garbage time of the opening game of the regular season this season, Su Jiu made everyone feel the light of his eyes.

Even the team's head coach Stan Van Gundy was a little shocked because the ball control skills and singles rhythm displayed by Su Jiu at that time were too surprising.

So since then, Van Gundy has given Su Jiu more playing time on the field, thinking about making Su Jiu a stable substitute for Nelson.

But in the next period of time, Su Jiu's performance on the court was not only getting better and better, but the mentality he showed on weekdays made Van Gundy feel moved.

In the end, Su Jiu finally successfully impressed head coach Stan Van Gundy with his own efforts, and began to replace the little fat Nelson for the first time and became the Magic's starting point guard at the time.

It can be said that since then, Su Jiu's whole body was like a dragon going out to sea, and it has been out of control since then.

Although there were also moments of bad shapes in this, in most cases, Su Jiu's presence not only contributes stable offensive firepower, but also helps his teammates become better in terms of spiritual attributes.

At first, because Su Jiu's performance in the new season was too explosive, fans from the outside world praised Su Jiu as very inspiring.

After all, even in the long history of NBA, there are very few stories about the counterattack of the draft. At least every failure to make a successful counterattack will be remembered by people in the end.

However, as Su Jiu's overall momentum became more and more fierce, he could even compete with the talented defenders Derek Ross and OJ Mayo for the best rookie.

At this time, more and more people began to hate Su Jiu, and even began to personally slander and insult Su Jiu on the Internet.

Because compared to Derek Ross and Mayo, Su Jiu is considered a foreigner after all, so when the top basketball geniuses in the United States were ruthlessly suppressed by Su Jiu, many local fans began to feel anxious and dissatisfied.

Fortunately, Su Jiu successfully withstood the pressure on the court and off the court in the end. After a whole season of hard work, he beat Derek Ross and OJ Mayo in the end and was elected as the best rookie in the 2008-09 season.

It can be said that after the award was announced at that time, the discussion and doubts faced by the outside world were far greater than the regular season MVP won by LeBron James.

However, Su Jiu was very outstanding in terms of personal data and team performance at that time.

So no matter how dissatisfied and questioned the outside world, this still cannot change the fact that Su Jiu was elected the best rookie.

But since the NBA playoffs were coming soon, this group of people wanted to see Su Jiu's jokes in the playoffs. After all, even the best rookie in the regular season will not add any personal aura after entering the playoffs.

Even if nothing unexpected happens, after entering the playoffs with the title of Best Rookie, Su Jiu's situation may become even more difficult.

But no one expected that Su Jiu, who entered the playoffs, not only did not decline in his personal data, but even made some improvements in his vague situation.

Especially in the Eastern Conference semi-finals at that time, the Magic and the Celtics had a complete battle of seven games.

The main reason and credit for the Magic team being able to drag the Celtics at that time into the tiebreak is that Su Jiu was classified.

In the first few games at that time, at the beginning, the Celtics defended a contraction defense, mainly defending the Magic's inside offense.

And he also successfully grabbed the performance of Iverson and Howard.

The reason why the Magic defeated the Celtics was because Su Jiu used a three-pointer to break through the Celtics' outside defense.

The Celtics forced to shift their defensive focus in the next few games and put more defensive pressure and attention on Su Jiu.

This relaxed to a certain extent the vigilance against Howard and Iverson.

In this way, the Magic struggled to drag the game into the tiebreak. In the tiebreak, people from the outside world were more optimistic about the Celtics.

Because at that time, compared with the slightly immature magic, the Celtics had a lot of experience in fighting tough battles.

But in fact, this round of the series seemed like a script that God had written. In that highly anticipated tiebreak battle, Su Jiu's performance not only did not fail, but became stronger when facing the Celtics' tight defense on the outside.

In the entire tiebreak battle, Su Jiu can be called a shot from inside and outside. With his super personal ability, he has penetrated the Celtics' defense.

In the end, he led the Magic to successfully defeat the Celtics and won the very tragic tiebreak battle at that time.

In the next two rounds of series against the Cavaliers and Lakers, Su Jiu's performance was still very stable.

Even in some games, Su Jiu would be pushed on the bench by Van Gundy because of his poor touch.

But in most cases, Su Jiu's performance on the court is that two words run through his life, and these two words are "stability"!!

In this round of finals, the Magic easily swept the Lakers with a total score of 4:0.

In addition to the fact that there were some disagreements within the Lakers, the little Shark Bynum was unable to play, and was dominated by Howard, the inside line by the Warcraft Howard, while Su Jiu's role on the offensive end cannot be ignored.

And about this, it is not difficult to see from the fact that Van Gundy took the initiative to get Tkoglu on the court just to liberate Su Jiu on the offensive end, how important Su Jiu's firepower on the offensive end is to the Magic.

In this round of finals, Su Jiu averaged 38.7 minutes per game, while personally contributed 17.1 points, 8.3 rebounds and 5.4 assists.

This data can be regarded as very amazing. Even if this data is taken out alone, few fans will believe that this will actually be the data obtained by a first-year rookie.

Even though the award for Best Rookie already represents Su Jiu's strength among newcomers, when Su Jiu was able to maintain such a stable output in the finals, this still made people feel incredible.

Even at some stage, people compared Su Jiu and legendary superstar magician Johnson.

After all, these two people performed very stably and comprehensively in the rookie season, and their performance in the finals was even more eye-catching and important.

And before the last finals started, while the outside world had already begun to discuss who could win the MVP in the finals, Su Jiu's call reached a peak.

The voting approval rating on the Internet is no less than Howard, the Warcraft.

You know, although Howard supported the Magic's inside defense alone, on the offensive end, Su Jiu's role and contribution are also unfathomable.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Su Jiu was not available, then even if Bynum was unable to play due to the discord between him and Kobe, it would be difficult for the Magic to win safely.

If Howard from this Magic team is now like O'Neal from the Lakers dynasty back then, if he had to choose Kobe from the next players, then this person would definitely not be Iverson or Lewis, he would only be Su Jiu.

Unfortunately, although Su Jiu performed amazingly in this year's finals, compared with Howard, who played dominant on both offense and defense, the final MVP trophy had to pass by Su Jiu.

But even though Su Jiu missed an opportunity to compete with Magic Johnson in the true sense, one thing is certain, that is, Su Jiu's future can definitely be called promising!!

As at that time, the Magic and Su Jiu signed a two-year non-guarantee contract, the second year was the team option.

However, with Su Jiu's amazing performance at the beginning of the season, the contract took less than a month and was quickly converted to regular by the Magic.

However, so far, the remaining salary of this contract in the remaining year is completely incomparable to Su Jiu's personal performance.

So before the finals were finished, many experts from the outside world began to analyze that the Magic would choose to voluntarily terminate the contract with Su Jiu in the offseason in order to retain Su Jiu, so as to re-sign the next multi-year maximum salary contract.

This behavior is obviously able to express enough sincerity to Su Jiu. Otherwise, once Su Jiu’s contract expires, there are a large number of teams in the league who are willing to contribute a maximum salary to Su Jiu in the free market.

After all, for a newcomer like Su Jiu who not only has both offense and defense, but also won the best rookie, but also proved himself in the playoffs.

As long as you don’t face injuries during the rising period of your career, then in the next few years, the maximum salary contract will basically be a foregone conclusion...
