Don't talk trash to him.

Chapter 306 King of New York
When Suwan lifted the championship trophy, the whole of New York entered a "boiling era".

New York's bottom team in the four major leagues of the United States is the New York Yankees.

But the attention and influence of the baseball league are becoming less and less.

Meanwhile, the Yankees were in a quagmire.

Since reaching the final in 09, they have had difficulty even qualifying.

Under various circumstances, the New York Knicks created a dynasty at this time, not only to fill the emptiness of New York fans, but also to activate a stronger "championship bloodline".

Especially as the NBA develops, its influence in China is second only to football.

And its international influence has even surpassed that of rugby!
Add to that the special hat of "national ball", and New York fans can't tell you how excited they are.

honestly……

Being New Yorkers, they have a way of making any sport the “number one sport.”

Did these more than six million people not like basketball before?
No, everyone knows how fanatical New York fans are.

It is even more frenetic now, and when the New York Knicks establish a dynasty, this frenzy will inevitably reach new heights. If it weren’t for “March Madness,” the NBA’s influence in America would never have been constrained.

But it doesn’t matter.

New Yorkers have always considered themselves the New York of the world...

They firmly believe that what they love is popular all over the world.

just now……

They love basketball very much.

The camera swept across Stephen Curry, Paul George, Tyson Chandler, Boris Diaw and others one by one.

The history of the NBA will remember these faces, and similarly, the history of the New York Knicks will remember these names.

They followed Su Wan and created an era that belonged to New York!
The streets of New York gradually became restless.

The only thing that kept them from completely rioting was...

They were waiting for Su Wan to win the Finals MVP and make the Finals MVP speech.

They want to know what Su Wan will say after leading the team to win the "three consecutive championships"!
This year's Finals MVP is actually a bit suspenseful.

苏万4场比赛32.5分6.5篮板5助攻；斯蒂芬-库里场均28.5分3.5篮板5助攻……

This is the episode with the most luxurious data about the "second in command" beside Su Wan!
Of course, this is also related to the New York Knicks' playing style this year.

The New York Knicks, who focus on outside shooting, need someone to take advantage of Suwan's containment and play their own performance outside the three-point line. Stephen Curry did it very well, which is why the New York Knicks can easily beat the Los Angeles Lakers 4-0.

With such data, even Suwan thinks that Stephen Curry should get 3 to 4 votes.

But the result is...

Su Wan was elected this year's "Finals MVP" with unanimous votes!
This can only explain one problem:
It’s not that Stephen Curry is not good enough, it’s just that now when people mention the New York Knicks winning the championship, there is only one name in their mind:
Suwan!

When voting, there is only one name in mind:
Suwan!

Just like when the Chicago Bulls are mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind is Michael Jordan.

These are all subconscious reactions.

Stephen Curry applauded Suwan as soon as David Stern announced the results.

He knew very well that even though he played very well in this round of the finals, Su Wan was still the best choice for the finals MVP. However, when he saw the record of reporters unanimously choosing Su Wan, his eyes still flickered.

Some thoughts are hard to hide completely without leaving any trace even if you try hard.

Stephen Curry noticed that his emotions were about to show, so he lowered his head and pursed his lips, then quickly adjusted himself.

Su Wan walked to the center of the stage. The eyes of the world were on him at this moment. Everyone wanted to know what he would say. After winning the "three consecutive championships", this was an opportunity for Su Wan to make a stage summary. The last time he made a stage summary, he dissed the entire league.

Now, during another period of summary, everyone is waiting for him to come up with another "golden sentence".

Suwan took the trophy symbolizing the Finals MVP honor from Bill Russell, then slowly turned his head to look at the camera.

“New York, this one’s for you!”

Su Wan's loud shout caused the whole of New York to boil.

Bill Walton said directly: "After saying this, Suwan will become the most unshakable person in New York State! This is the most touching love words for New York!"

Well, in fact, what truly established Su Wan’s unshakable position was his achievements.

He led the team to win three consecutive championships in three years. Not to mention New York State, even in the entire NBA history, there has never been a guy with such dominant ability.

It's really terrible!

With such achievements, coupled with this short but very effective sentence that is enough to add icing on the cake, Su Wan's reputation in New York is naturally unshakable!

Su Wan...

That’s all he said!

But think about it, a player of his level doesn't need to say too much. Just one action or one expression is enough to mock everything and look down on everything!
Barkley kept sighing: "It's really abnormal. It's really hard to imagine that such a guy is not even 30 years old!"

8 championship trophies, 8 finals MVP trophies.

One is a “3 consecutive championships” and the other is a “5 consecutive championships”.

2 "dynasties"!
He even led New York to successfully create a "three-peat"!
Barkley has always admired Michael Jordan because his life after the age of 28 seemed to be a cheat code of success, directly pushing himself from 45th in history to first in history.

Barkley was moved by the mental journey of a career that was tempered by experience.

But for a pervert like Suwan, who has been in the NBA for 10 years, played in 9 seasons, and won 8 championships, Barkley has only two words in his heart:
abnormal!
Some people are born winners.

Originally, Barkley didn't believe this statement, because even Michael Jordan had to go through all kinds of hardships before he achieved his dominance.

But Su Wan's journey made him completely disappointed.

It turns out there really are such natural born kings. When they enter the league, I come, I meet, I conquer!

With these few words, Su Wan ended his Finals MVP speech.

In fact, he was kind of fed up.

He was so used to it that he only spoke once a year that he didn't think it was anything special. To him, it didn't seem much different from his usual interviews.

Ok……

This is the confidence of the "eight-time champion". After the game, the reporters asked a very sharp question.

"Suwan, do you think Stephen Curry will complete his contract extension before July?"

July 7st is the day when the free market opens. If Stephen Curry does not renew his contract before then, he will most likely enter the free market.

So the reporters' questions were actually:

Suwan, do you think Stephen Curry will renew his contract with the team?
This question is quite important.

It can even be described as the most important job for the New York Knicks this summer.

As long as the contract extension is successful, the New York Knicks will be guaranteed to be a "dynasty" for the next four years.

Su Wan's "absolute peak period" will last at least 5 years...

After all, he is only about 28 years and 350 days old.

In comparison with Jordan, it was not until he was 33 years old that technical adjustments caused by the deterioration of his physical skills began to appear.

Before that, Su Wan can continue with his current playing style for another four or five years!
His dominance on the court is obvious to everyone. As long as Stephen Curry continues to be his "second in command", the New York Knicks can only be described as "invincible" in the next few years!

Su Wan didn't think too much about the reporter's question and gave a direct answer: "You should ask Stephen this question. He has his own considerations. As a teammate, I look forward to his final choice, and I also wish him all the best in all his choices."

"If Stephen Curry really leaves the New York Knicks, will you have any opinion on him, Suwan?" Among the reporters who were listening quietly, one person seemed to be not very satisfied with Suwan's attitude and asked a hypothetical question very specifically.

Su Wan thought about it, and then asked, "Why should I have a problem with him?"

"For example..." The reporter responded quickly, "Thinking that he betrayed the New York Knicks..."

Su Wan smiled: "I hope all my teammates can make the best choice for themselves..."

On the other side, Stephen Curry was interviewed, and the reporter's question was also very sharp: "First of all, congratulations, Stephen, you have created a new dynasty. You are the first to win the championship among the 09 generation, and you are also the player with the most championships among the 09 generation. What we want to know is, in the summer when your first contract is about to expire, how will you make your next choice? Will you leave New York, or continue to stay in New York and be Suwan's assistant!"

The word "assistant" is pronounced with great emphasis.

While speaking, the reporter kept his eyes on Stephen Curry, observing his reaction so that he could judge at the first moment whether to increase the "firepower".

Stephen Curry came up with a "universal formula": "I need to discuss with my family to know my choice. This is very important to me!"

Seeing that Curry was not fooled, the reporter asked again: "Stephen, you should have noticed that the media did not choose you when voting for the Finals MVP. What I want to know is, what do you think of this result?"

Curry's eyes narrowed slightly. After all, he was really shaken by this incident. However, it was also the psychological preparation at that time that allowed him to ask back calmly at this moment: "If you were asked to choose, would you choose me or Su Wan?"

The reporter said: "Of course I choose Su Wan, because this is his city!"

"..."

Curry didn't react immediately and was silenced.

At this time, he also understood that the other party was well prepared. But he had no strength to fight back, and murmured softly, saying:
"Well... this is Suwan's city!"

At the same time, D'Antoni, Mike Malone and Tyronn Lue were also asked related questions.

The contracts of D'Antoni and Mike Malone expire this summer, while Tyronn Lue still has one year left, but as an assistant coach, he can unilaterally terminate his contract. According to media reports, there are people outside who want to poach these three people.

So reporters are asking about their summer plans.

According to some of the reporters, Tyronn Lue, who has the lowest value among them, has been offered 8 million!

The head coach is different from the players.

An annual salary of tens of millions is already a maximum salary contract.

Tyronn Lue's 8 million is an offer only made by top head coaches in the league.

But it is worth mentioning that:
Tyronn Lue has never been a head coach!

This should be the "most expensive rookie head coach in NBA history."

But there is no way. From 04 to now, there are only three "meritorious coaches" in the NBA: Rick Carlisle, Phil Jackson and D'Antoni.

Among them, Rick Carlisle and Phil Jackson are currently rooted in the Pacers and Lakers, and it is difficult for them to change this summer.

Therefore, most team scouts have set their sights on the New York Knicks head coach and two assistant coaches.

It is not reasonable for a "champion coach" of D'Antoni's level to leave New York under such circumstances. However, there are many reports that he is not the only one who has the final say in the head coaching position of the New York Knicks.

Considering that most of the time, the New York Knicks' on-the-spot arrangements were made by Tyronn Lue and Mike Malone, these rumors became even more true.

Just thinking about it, you can tell how frustrating D'Antoni felt.

Under such circumstances, it is not impossible for D'Antoni to go to a team where he has more say.

Not to mention the other two people.

They are all talented assistant coaches who can do the work of head coaches.

That being the case...

How can they be willing to be just an assistant teacher?

Most media outlets believe that the New York Knicks coaching staff will be rebuilt this summer, and all three will be NBA head coaches in the new season…

D'Antoni is really open-minded.

Tyronn Lue expressed his hope to continue playing for the New York Knicks.

Mike Malone said he is seriously considering the issue.

After finishing the interview, the New York Knicks team immediately took a flight back to New York that evening.

They got off the plane at Kennedy Airport.

When they walked into the player tunnel, the New York fans came into view like locusts passing through the border, quickly surrounding them, a dense mass, which was enough to show how huge the number of New York fans who came to pick them up tonight was...

Su Wan walked in front amid cheers.

The bodyguards cleared a passage out of the airport for him.

But before Su Wan entered the "passage", he saw a fan rushing towards him with an excited look on his face.

The bodyguard standing next to Su Wan put his hand on his pistol, ready to draw it at any time, and at the same time, he slightly covered Su Wan with his position, protecting him to his side. However, after being stopped by the bodyguard, the excited fan did not continue to squeeze forward, but raised his hand and excitedly showed the object in his hand:
A golden crown.

"Su Wan, this is for you. From today on, you are the king of New York in the hearts of us New Yorkers!"
