Chapter 227 [Win the championship, lie and tell the truth]
On the 11th, Guo Xu made headlines in major sports media, and online fans were also discussing him, and a superstar was rising.
Everyone did not criticize Iverson. It was not easy for him to lead the team into the finals. His pursuit of victory also touched many people. The loss was not because he was weak, but because his opponent was too outrageous.
On the 12th, the fourth battle between the two sides began.
Under the coach's arrangement, both Guo Xu and Kobe reduced their shots and created opportunities for O'Neal to pass the ball.
The situation at the opening game was one-sided again. Whether it was a strong attack from the low post or a screen cut, O'Neal always had a way to send the ball into the basket, and he was unstoppable.
Other fans may not be able to understand the deep despair of Philadelphia fans when the "Big Shark" dunks Uncle Mu again and again.
It’s not that Uncle Mu is not good, but that the opponent is too strong. Once, Grant also cut the ball at a free throw and wanted to dunk to humiliate Uncle Mu, but he was immediately overturned by a big hat and taught him to be a human being.
Guo Xu had no objection to playing support throughout the game. The team was not his turn to get FMVP. If it weren't for Jabbar's injury, "Magic" Johnson wouldn't have won MVP in his rookie season. That success was a huge coincidence.
The players are not strong enough. To stand at the top of the NBA, it also requires opportunities and status. This Lakers are O'Neal's team, not Guo Xu's.
The Lakers won 76ers 113 to 96 in the final game, and swept the championship in all series in the playoffs, with only 15 games in total.
O'Neal played for 42 minutes, made 16 of 25 shots, 8 of 16 free throws, scoring 40 points, 14 rebounds and 4 assists.
Kobe made 6 of 13 shots, 0 of 2 of 3-pointers, 10 of 12 free throws, scoring 22 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists.
Guo Xu also made 6 of 13, 3 of 7 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 17 points, 3 rebounds, 12 assists and 2 steals.
On the side of the 76ers, Iverson played for 45 minutes, made 14 of 32 shots, 3 of 11 three-pointers, 6 of 8 free throws, scored 37 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 steals, and played 20 irons.
After the end of the game, Guo Xu and Iverson shook hands, and both of them said nothing.
They have met 6 times, never communicated with each other, and never talked about trash on the court, and were relatively speechless.
Maybe they can all feel that the other person is not the same type of person.
Guo Xu always smiles, like an orchid raised in a greenhouse, enjoying the most suitable sunshine, bathing in the most abundant rain and dew, and having a fresh and clean temperament.
Iverson comes from a slum in the United States. He has been frightened by his ears and eyes since he was a child. He seems to have a natural ruffian and a gangster atmosphere. When he loses, he will have a hint of Xu Wenqiang's temperament, which will make people feel depressed and distressed when watching it.
It's the temperament of "actually, I want to go to France to find Cheng Cheng" and then being fired by a machine gun as soon as I go out. You can't get what you want.
Guo Xu looked at Iverson's departure back, and music seemed to sound in his ears.
The sea of suffering brings love and hate; in the world, it is hard to escape fate...
Guo Xu's feelings were only a moment. He quickly forgot about Iverson and celebrated with his teammates. He did not go back to the locker room and stayed on the court to wait for the award ceremony.
As soon as the finals statistics were released, there was an uproar on the Internet. Guo Xu's shooting rate was too high, which was even more terrifying compared to Iverson.
Guo Xu made a total of 41 of 62 shots in four games, averaging 15.5 shots per game, shooting percentage of 66.1%, 22 of 40 three-pointers, shooting percentage of 55%, and 7 free throws, shooting percentage of 100%, scoring 27.7 points, 2.3 rebounds, 8 assists and 1.7 steals.
Iverson made 47 of 125 shots in four games, averaging 31.3 shots per game, shooting percentage of 37.6%, 10 of 35 three-pointers, shooting percentage of 28.5%, and 23 free throws, shooting percentage of 71.8%, scoring 31.7 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.5 steals.
Iverson's shots were twice as many as Guo Xu, with only 6 more goals, 4 more points, but less assists. No one said that Guo Xu's defense was poor this time, and he suddenly changed from a black hole to a defensive expert.
Guo Xu will not be complacent, but this is normal. Without him in his previous life, Iverson had only 40% shooting percentage in five games, and only two games had a shooting percentage of more than 40%. To put it bluntly, he just defended a few more goals than Tyronelu, Fisher and others.
Blonde reporter Audrey Jones interviewed Guo Xu on the sidelines. The two were old acquaintances. By interviewing Guo Xu and analyzing the Lakers, Audrey almost became a basketball expert.
Audrey asked: "Some fans said that you were at the peak as soon as you debuted. You have won a lot of personal honors in the rookie season and have the championship ring. What do you think?"
"Peak? How is this possible? I've just started on the road! Which fan said that? Don't let me see you, dare to curse me, I'm really beating you." Guo Xu raised his fist at the camera and said with a smile.
Audrey asked with a smile: "Can you tell me about your thoughts on winning the championship?"
"Do you want to hear lies or the truth?" Guo Xu asked back.
"Everything is OK," Audrey covered her mouth and smiled.
"I'm very excited, so happy. I feel that my life is worth it. I'm so excited that I want to cry." Guo Xu covered his face with one hand in front of the camera, sobbed twice, and then changed his calm expression: "This is fake."
It's a waste not to be an actor. Audrey couldn't laugh or cry. "Really?"
"It's a bit easy to win. I haven't played enough yet. This season ended. I want to cooperate with my teammates on the court and wait for next season. If you think about it, I feel that the next few months will be boring. I have to plan how to spend the holidays. This is my real idea." Guo Xu smiled.
The player won the championship in his rookie season, which is completely different from the veterans who have fought for n seasons in the league and have gone through a lot of hardships to win the championship.
Only when it comes to gain is hard, will you feel cherished, so some veterans will cry after winning the championship. Rookies will only feel happy when they win the championship. As soon as Guo Xu enters the league, they have two superstars who become teammates and crush their opponents to win the championship. He cannot have too much feelings.
This is why Kobe expanded after three consecutive championships in his previous life and began to compete with O'Neal for the boss. He wanted to prove that he could win the championship without O'Neal. The dynasty was built too easily, so he was arrogant.
Audrey asked a sensitive topic. "There was a news leak that you have not bought a house in Los Angeles, but rented an apartment. Will you consider buying a house in Los Angeles this summer?"
Guo Xu shook his head and smiled, "I don't think about this for the time being. I don't like living in a big house because I'm lazy and hate cleaning. During holidays, I usually go out to play away often. Let's talk about it later. Maybe I will never buy a house in my life."
After a while, Guo Xu and his teammates all put on championship caps, put on championship T-shirts, and attended the award ceremony together.
The 76 players have already left, and it is very painful to watch their opponents win the championship at their home court.
FMVP was awarded to O'Neal. Although Guo Xu's shooting percentage was high, O'Neal ranked the highest in two teams in terms of important scoring and rebounding statistics, and his shooting percentage was similar to Guo Xu. Moreover, he was still the best defensive player Mutombo.
It is worth mentioning that although Uncle Mu was very unhappy with being abused, he also performed well, averaged 16.8 points, 12.2 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game, and had a 60% shooting percentage, which was one more point than Guo Xu's Magic Core Howard's finals score in 2009 in his previous life. His zombie hook looked stiff, but he could indeed score goals.
O'Neal delivered a brief acceptance speech and stood in the center to raise the championship trophy.
