605: One can't be less
In the golden O'Brien Cup, Grizzlies fans could only see that thing on TV.
Not to mention winning the championship, the Grizzlies didn't even have the qualification to witness the opponent's championship on the spot.
But at this time, the beautiful trophy was raised by Link and team owner Robert Pera.
A player wearing a Grizzlies jersey is holding up the NBA championship trophy. This scene makes Grizzlies fans feel a little too dreamy.
When the Grizzlies won Link with a short contract of ten days, they didn't even cause any trouble in the league. But now, Link has returned a huge wave in the league!
After Link and Pera handed the trophy to others, the fans all shouted spontaneously.
Everyone knows what moment is next. Link regretfully lost to James in the regular season MVP selection. But in the finals MVP, no one can compete with Link!
In fact, there is no suspense in most of the time. Can the loser win FMVP? Yes, Jerry West, the "logo man" in 1969, did it. But there are only one example of losers getting FMVP in the entire NBA history.
Generally speaking, fmvp will be awarded to the leading stars of the championship team. Unless other players make significant contributions, this is almost unshakable awards rules.
Everyone in the Grizzlies has contributed to this championship. If you only look at this game, it would be no surprise that Nick Young will get FMVP. Without his 1 minute and 9 points, Link's subsequent score of 14 points would have no meaning.
Butler, Iguodala, Gasol and others also deserve praise for their performance in some games.
But if you look at all 6 games in the series, Link's contribution is undoubtedly unmatched.
Link is the first player to get triple-double data in the finals. In the 6 games in the finals, Link scored double-double data in 5 of them! No one can match his average of 32.1 points, 10.8 rebounds, 8.2 assists per game.
In 2011, Dirk's peak battle averaged 40.3 minutes in the entire finals, scoring 26 points, 9.7 rebounds and 2 assists. Link's finals data this year easily surpassed the "German Chariot" that was claimed to be unsolvable at the time.
There is no doubt that Link is a historical finals performance!
Therefore, this year's FMVP awards ceremony can be said to be without any suspense!
Seeing that everyone was so enthusiastic, Bill Russell didn't keep it a secret. He approached the microphone and announced the results directly.
"The winner of the NBA Finals MVP in the 2012-2013 season is...Link!"
Russell handed the trophy to Link. After Link took the trophy, he did not forget to hug Bill Russell.
It is the highest honor to be able to take over the trophy named after him from the Lord of the Rings!
Not to mention, Link is the first player in NBA history to win the FMVP honors!
Although he only played in the league for three seasons, the title of "the most successful undraft in history" can be transferred from Ben Wallace to Link.
When Link held up the Bill Russell NBA Finals Most Valuable Player Award, the Federal Express Arena ushered in the climax of tonight.
Mike Bryn looked at the excited fans around him and smiled slightly.
"They love him because he brought them the first ray of sunshine."
Then, everyone handed the championship trophy to Link. Link hugged the O'Brien Cup with his left hand and the FMVP trophy with his right hand, and accepted an interview with reporters.
"Link, everyone knows that this championship is extremely difficult. You have created the history of the Grizzlies. From now on, the Grizzlies are also a championship-level team! And you are likely to become the greatest star in the history of the Grizzlies! Do you have anything to share with the fans for the victory tonight?" The reporter extended the topic to Link's mouth, and he once again became the focus of attention.
"Thank you for your support. That's right. This champion came very hard. We have put in a lot of effort and experienced a lot of difficulties. But... I want to say, this is not the end. How can a champion be enough?"
This sentence came to an end for the intense 2012-2013 season.
Of course, more people think this is not the end, but the beginning of the Grizzlies' golden age.
The first undrafted FMVP will never turn this into his last championship trophy.

In the player channel, a group of men who were fighting tough on the field just now seemed to instantly become little boys in middle school.
They were like a group of students about to go out for a spring outing, heading towards the locker room in a quarrel.
Around them, countless cameras were facing them. All their rubbings would be faithfully recorded and presented to fans all over the world.
But they don't care, this is their moment, they just want to have fun!
"Hey, Nick, you are our best scorer. Can you pay attention to the impact?" Randolph shouted in the player channel because Nick Yang was so excited that he had taken off his jersey, now he was completely a mirror on his body.
However, how good was Randolph himself? His slightly raised belly had already been transmitted to thousands of households through the camera lens.
Link continued to follow the crowd to the locker room. When the Grizzlies players pushed open the door to the locker room, they found that more than a dozen barrels of high-end champagne flooded with ice were prepared on the table in the locker room.
It seems that before the game ended, Pera had asked someone to prepare the champagne.
"Wait!" Nick Young immediately jumped out after seeing these champagne, stopping the "bandits" who were preparing to grab champagne.
"What's wrong?"
"I'll take a look first, how much is this bottle of champagne worth!" Nick Yang picked up a bottle of champagne like an antique expert and looked at it carefully.
Finally, Nick Young's expression went from smiling to shock to excitement! The champagne in his hand was a limited edition of Moet Rose champagne! Just one bottle was worth $1,800!
$1,800 is not a small number. In the United States, an Apple phone is only a few hundred dollars, and a P4 game console is only $299. The price of a bottle of champagne is several times the price of those electronic products! Two bottles of this kind of champagne may be enough to buy a second-hand car!
"How is it? Have you seen something?" Everyone asked questions when they saw that Nick Yang didn't speak for a long time.
Nick Young looked at the champagne in his hand and looked around. The $1,800 bottle of champagne has at least 300 bottles here... The limited edition champagne has become a "bad street" thing in the Grizzlies locker room.
So Nick Young spoke slowly, word by word, "Tonight, we may squander hundreds of thousands of dollars, guys."
"So," Link said, walking up to pick up a bottle of champagne and shaking it constantly, "we can't waste it!"
"Puchi!" The bottle cap was sprayed out, and golden wine was sprayed out.
The next second, everyone joins the battle. The $1,800 bottle of champagne is indeed very expensive. But in front of the championship, what is the price of this celebration?
Randolph's "bandit leader" took two bottles alone, one bottle suddenly poured into his mouth, and the other bottle kept pouring out. Bathir burst into tears and laughed. This guy's dream of winning was finally realized in the final stage of his career.
Nick Yang is the happiest person. He sticks out his tongue and greedily sucks every drop of wine in the air. 1800 a bottle, it’s useless to drink it!
As for Link, his whole body was already wet, and the championship T-shirt was stuck to him. However, Link didn't care. He still splashed his teammates freely and did not let go of any target.
Fifteen minutes later, the locker room suddenly became quiet. Robert Pera, who was standing at the door of the locker room waiting to take a photo with the players, was a little surprised. Those guys were so powerful? They had 350 bottles of champagne in fifteen minutes?
At this time, Link opened the door to the locker room, but opened a small mouth and poked his head out.
"Robert, come in, everyone is waiting for you to say a few words." Link found that Pera was indeed waiting outside, so he waved to him.
"You guys...it's over so soon!?" Pera looked at Link's wet hair and swallowed.
Tonight he will go to a nightclub with everyone. As a young and single diamond five, he doesn't want to appear in a nightclub like a dog.
"Of course, it's over. Come in, we still have to take a photo!" Link said without saying a word, and pulled Perla into the locker room.
When Pera stepped into the locker room and saw the scene in front of him, he knew that he could not escape today!
All the players in the locker room were ready with champagne, facing their boss.
"No, no, the hairstyle I just made, I just..."
Before Pera finished speaking, the black and white bears hiding behind the door poured over the champagne bottle and poured the champagne down from Robert Pera's head.
Pera felt a chill all over her body, and then cursed, "You will all be cut off, I will all cut off!"
Although he was cursing, Pera still laughed, grabbed a bottle of champagne and joined the chaos.
Now, the talents are truly here!
Randolph sat in front of his cabinet during the carnival, and couldn't help laughing. Unexpectedly, a bastard like him would be able to embrace honor one day. When did all this start? Randolph's eyes fell on Link unconsciously.
That kid... is only in the third grade...
When talking about Kobe's inevitable decline, people often express their feelings. This alliance seems to belong to the world of the post-80s and even the post-90s.
The wheel of the times inevitably moves forward. This season in the West, Kobe fell and Duncan fell.
It was Link and the Grizzlies who survived to the last moment and became the final winners! There is no doubt that this is a victory against the trend and a victory not mainstream.
The most terrifying thing is that this is the third year that Link has worked hard in the league. In the future, he still has many opportunities to bring the entire league under his command!
As Link said in an interview, "How can a championship be enough?"
"Zach, are you lazy? Come on, face the most intense firepower!" Link shouted, pulling Randolph back from his thoughts.
Randolph smiled, really want to see what kind of achievements this kid can achieve in the future...
Chapter completed!
