Chapter 392 Fighting Magic(2/5)
These also made Lin Rui's unanimous election take for granted.
No matter how picky the media are, they really can't find a reason to vote for other people.
"Double Happy Comes, Lin Rui was elected the Best Defensive Player and the Most Valuable Player in the Regular Season!"
"Finally won the mvp, Lin Rui deserves it!!!"
"Lin Rui's most hardcore personal honor to date!"
"The alliance is about to enter the era of Lin Rui, I believe this will not be the first time!"
"Lin Rui conquered everyone who plays this season!"
"NBA: Lin Rui won the 2008-09 regular season mvp!"
"Unprecedented for unanimous votes!!"
"Mvp that conquers everyone!!"
"Lin Rui plays an epic season!"
The news that Lin Rui was elected to MVP immediately caused a sensation in the country.
Although fans all know that Lin Rui will win the MVP of this season, when this award really comes, the fans are still a little excited.
After all, this is an honor that Yao Yao has never had!
All major forums and portals have topped the news that Lin Rui obtained MVP.
The fans are discussing this matter very actively.
Lin Rui’s playing basketball is not only very enjoyable, but also brings unique cultural exchanges.
More and more domestic sponsors have reached in-depth cooperation with NBA.
Many NBA teams also focus on going to China to inspect players to see if a second Lin Rui appears.
May 3, morning!
In the awards hall.
Lin Rui walked onto the podium in a suit and tie.
Taylor Swift, Scarlett, Li Feifei, Zeng Xiaoran and other girls who had stories with him were sitting in the audience.
The Knicks' teammates were also wearing training suits and waving to Lin Rui.
All the media also pressed the flash and took pictures of Lin Rui's appearance in formal attire.
Lin Rui took over the trophy from the president!
"Crack!"
After completing the process, Lin Rui also started his own MVP speech.
“I’m very excited to win this trophy, which is a recognition of my work.”
“This is my childhood dream…”
"I thank my parents, my teammates, coaches..."
Lin Rui's speech lasted for about 20 minutes.
He started with his childhood experience and talked about his fate with basketball.
There is not much special or sensational. Lin Rui just expressed his sincere emotions.
......
After the day after the MVP award ceremony.
The second round of the Knicks and the Magic also started.
The Knicks still have a home advantage.
.........
At the pre-match press conference.
Howard said confidently: "We will definitely win the series. They are not as terrible as you think. We already have a solution to deal with them!"
Howard's self-confidence also made the reporters feel dazed. If Lin Rui hadn't been on the magic head, they would have believed it.
Howard had no objection to Lin Rui getting the MVP, and his dissatisfaction was mainly the best defensive player.
Howard felt that the award should be given to him, not to Lin Rui.
Tkoglu also said: "We are very familiar with them, they are indeed strong, but we are not without opportunities. We have the possibility of winning in the series. Our goal has not changed and we are still pursuing the championship."
Magic players all performed very confidently after spending the first round.
The Magic is indeed in the best state now. Lin Rui remembers that this team reached the finals in his previous life and only lost after six games against the Lakers.
Magic made all kinds of provocative remarks.
The Knicks didn't give in too much.
Randolph said: "We didn't take them seriously. They have always been our losers. Last season, and this season will be."
"They are just doing self-comfort, and their actions are not as tough as their mouths," Tucker said.
"We'll press them to the ground and rub them hard," Richardson said.
The Knicks really don't need to be afraid of Magic, they have the most luxurious inside line in the league.
.........
The commentary guests of tnt studio are ready.
Barkley said: "Although I'm a Knicks fan, I support the Magic tonight. I hope they cause more trouble for the Knicks and it makes the game look better."
Smith said: "Yes, the last round was really eye-catching. I hope this won't happen tonight."
Barkley said: "In terms of overall strength, the Knicks are stronger than the Magic, but the playoffs are never just about the game of strength."
Smith said: "Let's see if Howard can withstand the Knicks' internal and external impact."
.........
After the appearance ceremony.
D'Antoni set up tactics for all players: "Please transfer the ball from the outside as much as possible. If you have the opportunity to take decisive action, you can't hesitate."
Howard still had an impact on the Knicks' arrangement.
"Don't be immersed in joy just because we swept our opponents in the last round."
"It's all going to start over!"
D'Antoni readjusted the Knicks' tactics.
Fighting magic can't be the same as fighting a bull, otherwise you will suffer a big loss.
Knicks starter: Lin Rui, Tony Allen, Korver, Randolph, and Yao.
Magic starters: Nelson, Barnes, Tkogru, Lewis, Howard.
The difference in lineup between the two teams on paper cannot be said to be very big, there are still some of them.
The fans of Madison Garden Arena were cheering!!
In this kind of cheer.
Yao and Howard jumped up!
............
Howard jumped the ball and continued to beat Yao Yao.
As for jumping balls, Yao Yao is really not very strong, mainly because his speed is not good.
Howard transferred the ball to Barnes, and Barnes gave it to Tekoglu.
Tekoglu dribbles in the frontcourt to organize the offense.
Tkoglu invited his teammates to run, and Lewis used Howard's unball cover to appear in the bottom corner.
Tkogru himself forced Korver and then distributed the ball to Lewis.
Lewis shot as soon as he received the ball, Randolph did not follow!!
"Swish!"
3 to 0.
The Magic are too familiar with the Knicks' defense. They play on the outside and don't easily challenge Randolph and Yao Yao's defense.
The Magic suffered enough losses during the regular season.
Randolph's pace is indeed slow, and it is difficult to prevent it.
The Knicks' defense seemed to be broken from the beginning, and the fans at Madison Garden Arena were slightly less voiced.
The two teams are really too familiar with each other and have played too many times.
