I'm really strong in basketball

六场东决，刘河场均砍下35.5分8篮板3.6助攻2.5抢断1.1盖帽。

Especially in the fifth game, Liu He scored 64 points and conquered everyone.

Before the start of the sixth game, Stern went to the stadium in person to present the MVP trophy to Liu He.

The 21-year-old Liu He also became the youngest regular season MVP in NBA history.

At the same time, Kobe won the DPOY trophy.It's somewhat of a compensation.

The two most important regular season awards were divided between the King of New York and the King of Los Angeles, which exposed Stern's thoughts.

However, as the Knicks were eliminated 2-4, the Lakers also lost the tiebreaker and exited the championship competition.

The biggest reason why they lost was that they were too weak inside.

The Lakers' inside line was completely unable to withstand Duncan's impact.

In the end, the Spurs and Pistons met in the finals.

The ugliest game of the series unfolded, and the ratings hit a new low.

This further strengthened Stern's determination to speed up the creation of the "New York vs. Los Angeles" script.

After seven fierce battles, the Spurs finally narrowly defeated the Pistons and won the 2005 championship, just like in history.

Duncan was awarded the Finals MVP.

Many fans have questioned this, feeling that Ginobili is more qualified to win the MVP. His statistics are not far behind Duncan's, and his performance is extremely eye-catching, tearing apart the Pistons' iron-blooded defense time and time again.

However, in addition to offense, taking into account defense, Duncan deserves to be elected MVP.

Liu He immediately sent a text message to Duncan to congratulate him on becoming the championship.

As for the phone call, it is definitely not possible to get through at the moment.

……

Soon, fans discovered that Wake Forest University was the biggest winner in the NBA this season.

Duncan was awarded the Finals MVP.

Liu He won the regular season MVP.

The two most important MVPs of a season were both won by Wake Forest University.

It is indeed produced by the Devils and must be a top quality product.

As a result, Wake Forest University and the Demon Deacons received more attention from NBA scouts.

Wake Forest University player Chris Paul, who is already a popular rookie, is further bullish.

……

Liu He didn't care at all about these things in the outside world.

Now he just wants to lie dead.

Overloaded for two consecutive seasons, reaching the finals in the first year and also playing in the Athens Olympics.

Reached the conference finals the next year.

So many games were almost overwhelming Liu He.

If you calculate carefully, you will have to play 82 games in the regular season alone, which will last until April.

And if we reach the finals, we have to play until early June.

In other words, a championship team will play two months more than a weak team.

And the intensity of the playoffs in these two months far exceeds that of the regular season.

One season is all. If it lasts for three consecutive seasons, most people will really be unable to bear it.

This is why three consecutive championship dynasties are extremely rare.

Not to mention anything else, the test on the player's body and physical fitness is quite harsh, and ordinary stars will definitely not be able to withstand it.

A super giant who can create three consecutive championships must be very durable.

Jordan, Pippen, Kobe, O'Neal... they are all physically strong and not easily injured.

O'Neal's weight is the most exaggerated, but he always paddles in the regular season, works hard in the playoffs, and is lazy in training, which reduces the burden on his body to a certain extent.

Think about the Warriors. They almost won three consecutive championships in 2019. Durant and Thompson fell down due to injuries in the third year. This is inseparable from playing a lot of games in consecutive years.

On the contrary, Curry is often injured and sidelined during the regular season, but he can survive in the playoffs.

Thinking of this, Liu He didn't want to do anything this offseason, nor did he want to train. He just wanted to lie down.

After the Eastern Conference Finals, Liu He closed all his contacts, ignored anyone, and lived alone in a mansion in New York.

But lying down all the time is a bit uncomfortable.

After a week, Liu He couldn't stand it anymore, so he started contacting friends to play games.

As soon as I turned on my phone, I was bombarded with countless text messages.

99+.

199+.

299+.

……

Liu He was a little helpless and started to process the text messages.

Some of them came from some domestic organizations and wanted to invite Liu He back to play in some friendly matches.

Funny?
Liu He directly deleted the text message and blocked the other party.

Whoever sabotages Liu He's recuperation plan will be Liu He's enemy.

Liu He doesn't want to be like Yao Ming and lose himself before the age of 30.

Of course, where Yao Ming comes from, he may not have a choice.Fortunately, you can choose your own life plan.

It's not that Liu He is unwilling to bring glory to the country, but can this kind of friendly match really be related to bringing glory to the country?

This kind of game is just for young players to train.

When Liu He and Yao Ming appear on the stage, will others watch the two of them play together?

Liu He and Yao Ming won't get any improvement at all in this kind of game.

Young players watched Liu He and Yao Ming play and lost the opportunity to practice.

Doing so will do no good at all.

What's the point of this?

There is also a text message from Yi Jianlian.

Yi Jianlian said that he is preparing to participate in the draft in the next few years, so he wants to come to New York to observe this year's draft to gain some experience.

Liu He only replied with three words: "I'm waiting for you!"

It took Liu He half an hour to process all the other bits and pieces of text messages.

After working hard for half an hour, Liu He suddenly lost interest in playing games and just wanted to mess around.

So, Liu He called O'Neal: "Shaq, wait for me on the south coast!"

When it comes to play, who can beat O'Neal?

And Miami is a famous vacation destination, with sunshine, beaches, bikinis... the perfect place to show off.

In addition, Liu He is sworn in with gambling and drug addiction, but he does not refuse beauty.

As for the Kardashian sisters, although their defensive abilities are strong, they cannot restrain Liu He.

So, in Miami, Liu He was warmly received by O'Neal and Wade, who held many parties for Liu He.

Liu He had a great time, and there were many scandals during the period.

Even the Kardashian sisters went directly from Los Angeles to Miami to fight with other women, which attracted a lot of attention.

Immediately afterwards, Liu He made a cameo appearance in a video and rap film shot by O'Neal. In short, he had a great time.

Near the end of the month, Liu He felt so comfortable and in high spirits that he flew back to New York alone.

That night, Liu He picked up Yi Jianlian, who had just arrived in New York.

Two days later.

2005 6 Month 28 Day.

Madison Square Garden.

2005 NBA Draft.

This year's rookies are sitting at the scene one by one, nervously waiting for the start of the draft.

Stern sat in his office making final preparations.

Suddenly, the scene erupted with cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami.Stern curiously asked Joke: "What happened?"

These New York fans are not easy to take care of. Stern is booed by them every year. What happened to make these New York guys so excited?

Outside the court, all the rookies stretched their necks and looked towards the entrance.

It turned out that it was the King of New York... Liu He, who came to the scene with Yi Jianlian.

In just one season, Liu He has completely conquered the New York fans and was crowned the king.

Especially the 64-point performance in the Eastern Conference Finals made New York fans willing to kneel down and surrender.

So as soon as Liu He appeared, the New Yorkers at the scene would naturally send up a tsunami of cheers to welcome their king.

Seeing Liu He's popularity, Yi Jianlian was extremely envious and longed for one day to be so popular.

As for the rookies on the scene, some were envious, some were disdainful, and some were eager to try...

Liu He didn't care. He waved and said hello to the fans at the scene, and then directly found Chris Paul sitting in the small green room (generally, rookies who are expected to enter the top 14 picks will be invited to enter the small green room).

Paul stood up and hugged Liu He.

It can be seen that although Paul's market is bullish, it is a major event in his life after all. Paul's face is tight and he is still very nervous.

"Man, relax! No matter how unlucky you are, you won't fall to the 25th pick. You're definitely better than me!"

Liu He said.

Hearing this, Paul's expression relaxed a little.

Soon, media reporters got wind of the news and came.

They stopped paying attention to the popular rookies and all gathered around Liu He.

No matter how outstanding the potential of these rookies is, they are definitely not as good as Liu He who has already played.

Moreover, behind Liu He are the two major markets of China and New York. Liu He himself is very good at playing. He has always been the darling of the media and a big traffic user.

Liu He waved his hand: "Hey, guys, I'm just an ordinary spectator tonight. These rookies are the protagonists. Go find them!"

Despite what Liu He said, these media were still unwilling to leave Liu He and surrounded Liu He, Yi Jianlian, and Paul.

The rookies in the little green room were full of envy.

There is no doubt that Liu He is the person they aspire to be.

In just two seasons, Liu He won two All-Star starts, two three-point contest championships, a vote champion, a scoring champion, a steal champion, the best rookie, two best teams, two The best defensive team, a regular season MVP, an NBA championship...

Looking at NBA history, no rookie can surpass Liu He's honors during the same period.

Liu He is a super rookie and a superstar.

Of course, some rookies showed disdain.For example, Andrew Bogut, the favorite for the No. [-] pick, is known as "White Duncan."

Amidst the constant praise of Duncan from the media, this guy has long been lost. He feels that he is Duncan, and even thinks that he is more powerful than Duncan.

Liu He naturally didn't know about this.

Even if he knew, Liu He didn't care.

In addition to the nickname "Devil", Liu He also has a nickname called "Number One Scholar Killer".

James and Howard have both been "killed", why are you still afraid of Bogut?

In the circle of reporters, reporters asked questions one after another, asking about Liu He's tidbits in the summer.

In this regard, Liu He just took it easy.I don’t want to say too much to the media, after all, it’s a private part.

"Hey guys, can't we all be a positive example to these little guys? Can we please stop mentioning my bad stuff?"

Everyone laughed and realized that Liu He didn't want to talk about this, so they decisively changed the topic.

Naturally, the conversation came up about the draft.

"Liu He, what do you think about Andrew Bogut, the favorite for this year's No. [-] pick?"

Liu He smiled slightly: "I'll stand and watch!"

"Of course, I have a special seat here. I will sit down and watch it later."

"Besides, I don't really want to see a man."

The reporter laughed again.

Another reporter asked: "Many people praise Bogut as a white Duncan. As an alumnus of Duncan, do you think Bogut can achieve Duncan's achievements?"

In the small green room, Bogut, who pretended not to care, instantly perked up his ears.

"of course can!"

Liu He said with certainty.

Bogut was overjoyed and extremely happy.Bogut is still very useful to be recognized by a superstar.

Suddenly I felt that Liu He was a pretty good person.

However, Liu He added: "In a dream! Bogut can not only achieve Tim's achievements, but also surpass Michael!"

In an instant, Bogut's face turned the color of pig liver, and he hated Liu He.

Of course, in the eyes of reporters, this was just an ordinary joke and there was no malicious intent.

After all, being able to be compared with Duncan and Jordan is an honor in itself, and it doesn't matter whether you win or lose.

No way!No way!Do you really think you can compete with Duncan and Jordan?
In fact, Bogut, who was lost in the praises, thought so.

All I can say is...it's so cool!

Even James, who had ambitions to rival Jordan in his rookie year, didn't dare to think about it.

After nearly 20 years of playing golf, I dared to make some mistakes.

Liu He didn't care at all what Bogut thought.

I just think Duncan is so miserable!
For someone of Garnett's level, it's okay to compare him to Duncan.

Who is Bogut, yet he dares to call him "White Duncan".

This is really the worst time that Duncan has been hacked.

Later, the reporter asked two people around Liu He.

“What do you think about Chris Paul’s draft expectations?”

Liu He smiled and replied: "If New York has the No. [-] pick, I will choose Chris without hesitation. Even if he is not from Wake Forest University, I will not change my mind."

What Liu He means is that Paul is the No. 2005 player in the 1 class.

And what he said was definitely not because of the alumni relationship, but a fair and just choice.

At this time, Bogut was hit hard again, and he hated Liu He even more.

You mean, I'm not as good as that "little man" Paul?
Is there any reason for this?

Paul, on the other hand, seemed a little embarrassed and shy.

Later, the reporters asked Yi Jianlian again.

Liu He said: "This guy is a teammate of my national team. His running and jumping ability can be said to be No. 1 in Asia. It is unprecedented and unprecedented. Everyone can pay more attention to this guy. In the next few years, this guy will participate in the NBA draft." .”

Liu He incidentally helped Yi Jianlian with publicity.

Of course, Liu He was not exaggerating.

Yi Jianlian's running and jumping ability is extremely rare among yellow people.

Many fans in later generations commented that Yi Jianlian's body was that of a black man, but he was just wearing a yellow skin.

Of course, Yi Jianlian also has many problems with his slow shots, brittle body, and poor communication skills.

However, these problems are not unsolvable, after all, talent is the most important thing.

……

Soon after, David Stern took the stage, accompanied by Vice President Stu Jackson.

New York fans unsurprisingly booed.

Oh...

Stern had long been used to it. He glanced at Liu He in the audience and said hello with his eyes.

Then he said: "The 2005 NBA Draft has officially begun."

"The Milwaukee Bucks have the first pick in the first round. The Bucks will have 5 minutes to consider and make their final choice."

Five minutes later, a card was handed to Stern by the staff.

Stern read: "With the first pick, the Bucks selected the big man from the University of Utah, Andrew Bogut."

As in history, the Bucks chose Bogut.
