Chapter 421 Everything Will Eventually Come to an End
"Win! Win!"
"HOHO! Championship!"
"Boss! Lin! Hahahaha! We are the championship!"
McMillan and other coaching staff on the sidelines, the management such as Yang Dong, Hisashi Mitsui, and all the substitutes all went crazy. They jumped up with excitement and rushed into the court, surrounding Lin Dong and Payton in the middle and jumping and jumping. Jumping, crazy and noisy.
Some hugged Payton and cried, some hugged Lin Dong and screamed, some pushed Sakuragi Hanamichi and Iguodala to the ground, and some squeezed together with Brent, and the court became a crazy ball.
Mr. Lin on the sidelines was so excited that he stood up and kept tapping his cane. He felt it was not enough and turned to look to the side. He was also jumping up and down with excitement. Old Lin couldn't help but was so excited that he wanted to give him a crutch: "Jump you MB," You are 40 years old and you are not stable at all. No wonder you have lost your daughter-in-law! You're not the American who won. If it weren't for the fact that you laid the egg, I would have turned over here.
Akagi Haruko hugged Sakuragi Aiko next to her and cried and jumped. Several members of the Sakuragi Legion played their trumpets crazily. Zhu Fangyu, Sun Yue and Wang Shipeng shouted and jumped up and stood on the bench and twisted. butt.
Coach Anzai held his thermos cup with a smile on his face and looked at Sakuragi Hanamichi in front of him who was being pressed down by several people to celebrate.
——Did you make a mistake? Dad, I am Xiangbei’s secret weapon! Secret weapons shouldn’t be treated like this!
--ah? ! Twenty thousand balls? !
--no problem! By the way, Dad, what is the strong and weak side position?
——Hahaha, so what about the United States, I am a genius!
——Dad, just keep it, I have money!
That once green and immature face has grown so much now that it has even reached the stage of the NBA Finals and taken off the championship ring that symbolizes the highest honor in basketball!
Japan, basketball, Sakuragi...
Coach Anxi was thinking a lot at this moment, as if there were infinite reveries dancing in his mind, until Keiko next to him said with a smile: "It's really crazy, don't crush the child."
Coach Anzai came back to his senses slightly and saw Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was struggling to get out from under the crowd. Sakuragi Hanamichi was shouting excitedly in his direction: "Wahahahahaha! Dad, a man. Keep your word, the championship ring is yours! Hahaha!”
This kid still remembers that!
Championship rings…
This is no ordinary championship ring.
From the perspective of the NBA alone, this is quite rare. With a newcomer as the core, he won the championship and defeated the G7 basketball god Michael Jordan with a championship ring! This may be the last game for the God of Basketball. This achievement will no longer be replicated by anyone in the future!
For Asia, this is the first championship ring with Asians as the absolute core.
As for Japan...needless to say? The first of its kind!
If the value of this championship ring were to be measured in money, it would be immeasurable. If it were auctioned in Japan, Coach Anzai felt that even millions of dollars might not be enough to buy it, and such a precious thing would not be worth it. , there is simply no way something as ridiculous as an auction could happen!
Frankly speaking, I only spent a few hundred thousand dollars on Sakuragi. When Sakuragi gave him the money and Coach Anzai returned it to him, it was true, and the championship ring he mentioned was just an excuse.
After all, who can believe that this young man can win the championship in his first season?
At that time, Coach Anzai thought that maybe Sakuragi and Lin Dong could do this after a few games, but by then the children had already fully grown up, had mature minds, had concepts about money, and had opened their horizons, so they might forget about it. That's it.
Because whether it is his own contribution or Sakuragi's championship ring, it is not something that can be measured by money, and he has never thought of it.
Unexpectedly...
Coach Anzai wiped away his tears, then stood up, clapped his hands and laughed. He loudly answered Sakuragi: "It's ours!"
Rukawa Kaede on the opposite side had a panoramic view of everything.
Coach Anzai brought him and Sakuragi to the United States at the beginning, but now, Sakuragi has become the glory of coach Anzai, while he has become a shameful deserter.
Start over?
It seems like four simple words, but if it were really that simple, I wouldn't be completely desperate in Bobcat.
Frankly speaking, when the Bobcats were on ice this entire season, Rukawa Kaede tried every means to ask his agent to do the work of team leader, coach and owner. Most of his salary and even some of his father's savings were spent on this. He did contact several teams to seek trades.
But……
In the first half of the season, when the team gave him playing time, he averaged 6.6 points per game in about 10 minutes per game. Looking at 3 points alone, his shooting rate was 38%, which is considered to be the league average, which is not bad.
However, it is just average.
In other aspects, he has no rebounds, no assists, no blocks and no steals. On the defensive end, he has made no contribution to the team. As a purely fixed-point 3-point shooter, his 38% shooting rate only reaches the league average. , then the overall look is too bad.
Therefore, no team is willing to take him, whether it is a deal negotiated by the team or some deals he negotiated privately.
Only the Spurs' lower-level teams in the Development League have expressed to him that they can accept him for trial training. The Spurs need a shooter, and they hope to train it themselves. If Rukawa Kaede performs well enough in the lower-level teams, he will still be promoted to the next level. The home team and the possibility of returning to the NBA arena.
Before the draft, Rukawa Kaede, under the persuasion of Coach Anzai, was prepared to play in a lower league. But now that he was selected by the Bobcats, and since he has already stepped into the NBA... I want him to accept a lower league. The invitation is very difficult.
People are always like this. It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Even if you are an ordinary person looking for a job and earn tens of thousands a month, it will be difficult for you to accept the mediocrity of two thousand a month.
So he rejected the Spurs without hesitation, and the Spurs turned around and picked other players. The quota was full and he didn't have a share.
But now...
Rukawa Kaede looked at his broken finger.
What qualifications does a disabled person have to talk about arrogance? A disabled person, what else can’t he let go of?
The Spurs' lower teams won't want him anymore, but...
He looked at Mitsui Hisashi who was celebrating wildly on Sakuragi Hanamichi in excitement.
He knew that Mitsui Hisashi was now the team leader and manager of the Seattle Storm and had absolute control over the Storm. If he went to Mitsui Hisashi himself, considering that they were both Japanese and had been on the same team, he would definitely Get a chance to try out with the Storm.
But until then...
The right hand with the broken little finger was now tightly clasped, and when the right hand was exerted, there were waves of dull pain in the broken finger.
But after all, it is not broken at the root. There is still a section of the knuckle at the base of the thumb, and the method of exerting force remains the same, so the grip is still strong...
As long as you really make your brain refuse to feel pain, as long as you can really overcome your physiological reaction!
Rukawa Feng pursed his lips.
The schedule of lower-level teams is roughly the same as that of NBA home teams. There are still five months between now and the start of the season in November.
He can only put aside his dignity to ask for a trial spot from Hisashi Mitsui once, and Hisashi Mitsui can only help him once.
At this moment, he couldn't help but think of what Sakuragi said to him when he thought Sakuragi was flirting with him during the draft trial - Opportunities are given by people, but whether you can grasp them depends on yourself!
Hahaha, that big idiot turned out to be much smarter than me all along.
Rukawa Kaede laughed in relief.
He no longer excitedly celebrated for others, nor did he look at the excited Sakuragi Hanamichi and others in the field. That was their glory, and he also had his own glory to pursue!
Rukawa Kaede regained his composure, turned around and left the field with a few disappointed Wizards fans, but his mind was no longer as negative and confused as when he entered the field.
The lower leagues also start in November, so I still have five months left.
First, overcome the pain of adapting to this hand and return to the level a three-point shooter should have, or even be better than before.
Until then, go find Mitsui Hisashi.
——Opportunities are given by people, but whether you can grasp them depends on yourself.
And this time, I must not let any chance slip away from this palm that has experienced a painful lesson!
This broken finger should not be a psychological obstacle, but should be a warning to say goodbye to the gifts and gifts of the past!
A finals always brings a lot.
It can make people excited and cry;
It can make some people stand up and become a new starting point, but it can also become the real end point for some people.
Michael Jordan was thrust into his waist, breathing heavily.
The hustle and bustle, craziness and excitement on the court were beyond his reach for the first time.
He first stared blankly at the Sonics players celebrating crazily, and then looked around the arena.
A few Wizards fans have already left the game in disappointment, but more of them are still standing as dull as Jordan. Their eyes are full of loneliness and confusion, as if their souls have been sucked out, and Michael can't bear to watch any more. Go down.
There were teammates around him greeting him, and Doug Collins came to pat him on the shoulder to express comfort.
But Michael Jordan seemed to be independent from this world and isolated from it.
He just stood there quietly, his posture with his hands on his waist unchanged.
It's just that the back, which had always been straight, seemed to suddenly become a little rickety at this moment and no longer straight.
His mind was in a mess, and his eyes slowly moved down according to his mood. He saw the basket in front of him where Payton scored the winning 3-pointer with 0.78 seconds, and finally looked at the peaceful ball that fell on the ground. basketball.
This game changed him so much, even the thought of invincibility in his heart.
But even so, he still lost.
Lost...
For the first time in his life, Michael Jordan suddenly thought of the No. 96 wrench and the words of his deceased father that had the most profound impact on him.
——Go home and stay with the women!
Those words full of doubts and ridicule from his father inspired Michael Jordan to never give up in his life. He once talked about it a lot, but now...
"Michael!"
"Daddy! Daddy!"
Jordan heard a familiar voice.
"wo will always love you! (we will always love you)"
Michael Jordan was startled for a moment, his blurry vision gradually cleared, and he saw Juanita and three children waving to him in the front row of the VIP seats.
The children's tender little hands and sincere cries, as well as the woman who even filed for divorce from him this year because she repeatedly flirted with women outside, the cries at this time are also full of worries.
——Go home and stay with the women!
He suddenly thought of what his father once said.
Michael Jordan suddenly smiled after a moment of silence.
At this moment, everything suddenly felt relieved.
His father's words inspired him to move forward full of fighting spirit in the first half of his life.
And at the end of his career, it seemed to be a warning for his future.
Everything ends eventually.
For the stadium, he should have gone home long ago, but even for Fengyuechang and life...
Michael Jordan laughed, reached out and applauded his wife and children, as well as his opponents.
——Choosing to go home and stay with the women seems to be a good choice!
He thought secretly in his heart.
