Chapter 279: The Road to "GOAT" and the Big Deal
As for what, their championship win doesn't have much credibility...
Barkley from '93 agrees.
But Barkley from '12 would just think these two are really lucky.
They enter the League and have everything!
Su Wan, as the representative, lifted the Championship Trophy.
The arena was immediately filled with roaring boos.
This was Oklahoma fans' last way to sicken Knicks players.
What they don't know is...
The louder they shout, the more it fuels this team.
When Artest held up the Championship Trophy, he deliberately shook it towards the crowd, watching a few Thunder Team fans break down defensively, he turned satisfied, and returned to the team.
David Stern announced this season's finals MVP, there was no suspense, Su Wan was selected as the finals MVP for the fourth consecutive year.
Bill Russell again presented him with the finals MVP.
The old gentleman said another "bold statement": "Keep it up, Su, just four more championships and you'll tie with me!"
Su Wan shook his head with a smile.
It had to be admitted, Bill Russell's terror.
He's already played in the League for eight seasons.
Among them, 7 have won championships.
But he's still four championships away from Bill Russell.
Honestly, if there had been finals MVP trophies back then, maybe the title of "goat" wouldn't have anything to do with Michael Jordan.
Su Wan had reason to believe these old timers probably had fewer entertainment options back then, bored daily, spending vast amounts of time thinking of what "bold statement" to say next time they met.
Otherwise...
How could this "trash talk" be like a sow wearing a bra, set after set?
Su Wan raised the finals MVP trophy high, boos rang out from the audience again. Yet, he saw from these boos, New York's streets and alleys plunged into chaos!
Right now, New York should have turned into a simple Gotham...
After saying a few words of acceptance, the host began asking: "Su Wan, congratulations, you've successfully defended with the New York Knicks, now your championship count exceeds Michael, your finals MVP count also exceeds Michael, so, I really want to ask, what's your next goal?"
Su Wan asked back: "You probably aren't a New Yorker, right?"
The host was taken aback, then nodded: "No, I'm not!"
"No wonder!" Su Wan showed a knowing expression, while he looked towards the camera, he also turned his head towards the host: "If you were a New Yorker, you absolutely wouldn't ask this question right now, every New Yorker knows what my next goal is..."
Now that a two-peat is achieved...
Then naturally it's...
"Establishing the New York Dynasty!"
This again drew roaring boos from the crowd.
Su Wan furrowed his brow slightly, he couldn't pretend not to hear it anymore. Just as he was about to put down the microphone, he picked it up again and continued: "Of course, I know, this must be a challenging thing, after all..."
"I can't always meet teams like the Thunder Team!"
With just one sentence, directly causing 2 out of 3 Thunder Team fans in the stands to break down defensively.
Their faces flushed, unable to boo.
No choice, Su Wan's words were too piercing...
But they couldn't say any rebuttal.
Because...
The Thunder Team did lose miserably, they had no power to fight back.
But Su Wan wasn't done: "This year was the easiest finals I've ever played!"
There it goes!
Completely defensively broken!
Not only the fans in attendance broke down, but even Kevin Durant being interviewed broke down, he confirmed several times: "Did Su Wan really say we were his easiest finals opponents?"
Seeing the reporters nod several times, he immediately shouted at the camera:
"Then let's see!"
"I swear, we will definitely come back next season!"
"And...
"Su Wan will also pay the price for his words!"
The reporters surrounding him were all stunned.
Especially the Oklahoma reporters.
They showed some relief the next second.
Like that feeling of relief when the family's pig has grown enough to root cabbage!
Kevin Durant's ability is unquestionable, in their view, even since 2004 after Su Wan, the strongest new generation.
His only issue might be he wouldn't speak harshly in front of the media.
But now...
They saw Kevin Durant taking on the role of "Thunder God."
They believe that with a more outgoing personality, Kevin Durant will certainly make this team stronger in the new season!
Kevin Durant himself was taken aback.
No...
What did I say?
Did I say Su Wan would pay the price for his words?
How did I end up saying what's in my heart?
Forget it...
Just considered it as giving myself a bit of extra motivation!
Kevin Durant's gaze grew increasingly firm.
The next morning, his remarks were reported by major media websites.
Kevin Durant flipped through these reports, most of the media people did affirm, thinking he was able to have such a positive mindset after being completely defeated was indeed not easy.
In their view, the new season's Kevin Durant will also become more terrifying.
Kevin Durant looked at these voices, softly humming while lighting himself a marijuana...
Amidst swirling smoke, looking at these media evaluations, it was even more soothing.
Afterward, his whole being started feeling a bit floating and blurred.
