Turkoglu was doing the pilgrimage seriously. No one could understand the meaning of the words he muttered in Turkish dialect. But they could probably guess what he was doing. He was praying to his 'God', Allah, not to gain anything because of himself.
The Most Improved Player award resulted in the Magic losing the first game of the second round.
Among the awards announced in the playoffs this season, it has become a curse that the team of the winning player will inevitably lose in that game.
In the game when Kevin Garnett won the Defensive Player of the Season award, the Celtics lost to the Hawks and were forced into the seventh game by the Hawks. Ginobili won this season's Defensive Player of the Year award.
The day after the Sixth Man of the Year award, the Spurs lost their only game in the series to the Suns. On the day Grant Hill won the Sportsmanship Award, the Suns were eliminated by the Spurs. Byron Scott took over.
On the day of the Best Coach Trophy, the Hornets were dragged into overtime by the Jazz and eventually defeated, falling into the vortex of the tiebreaker.
Among the awards that have been awarded, the only exception is Kevin Durant, because his next game is next season and the Seattle SuperSonics failed to enter the playoffs.
There seems to be some kind of force controlling this series of events, so much so that many media are loudly claiming that the various awards this season are cursed, and they have been ordered to win the next one as long as they win.
The curse of inevitably losing the game. Then under this circumstance, the league officially announced that the Magic's Sheida Turkoglu won the Most Improved Player Award for the 2007-08 season.[
Under such a background, it is no wonder that Turkoglu is suspicious of performing a pilgrimage ceremony before the start of the game. Probably hoping that his pure faith in Allah can help him defeat the curse attached to the trophy he is about to receive.
To be honest, Adrian, who believes in Marxism-Leninism, should despise and reject superstitious ideas such as 'faith' and 'magic'. He should firmly believe that everything in this world can be explained by science.
Yes, gods and Buddhas don't exist... However, Adrian's own existence is one of the biggest unscientific things in the world. Under such circumstances, it is difficult for Adrian to question these unscientific things.
"Even if there are really gods and Buddhas in this world, they should be looking after me, right? Otherwise, how could such a good thing as traveling through the ages befall me without death?" Thinking of this, Adrian couldn't help but raise his hands.
He put his hands together and bowed to the void: "Buddha bless, God bless. Allah bless, no matter which great god it is, please bless me anyway. You powerful people won't just leave me here and ignore me, right?"
Even in the new China where Marxist-Leninist materialism is widely believed, although everyone talks about opposing feudal superstition, secretly they have never been less willing to worship and beg when they should. And in the United States, because
The reason for freedom of belief is that superstition is more rampant. Science and faith are not completely opposite in the United States. Many scientists who have made great achievements are also very devout believers. In short, if you want to find a true believer in the United States,
It is quite difficult to be a theist in this sense.
There is no doubt that Turkoglu's nervousness and suspicion have affected other players on the Magic team. Rashad Lewis holds a silver cross that looks quite historic in his hand, maintaining a humble posture and praising in a low voice.
God. He is a very devout Christian.
Van Weaver also became a little nervous. After hesitating for a while, he knelt down facing the west and took out a bunch of red rosary beads... This girl turned out to be a Buddhist.
Suddenly, the Magic team's locker room was filled with all kinds of prayers. Everyone was praying to their own God, their own Buddha, their own Allah, not to let the bad luck of the trophy befall them. When Stan -
What Van Gundy saw when he entered the locker room after getting rid of reporters was such a strange look.
After opening his mouth several times, Stan Van Gundy still couldn't interrupt the players' prayers. In the end, everyone kept praying until the start of the game.
Before the game started, league officials from afar awarded Turkoglu the Most Improved Player trophy of the 2007-08 season to Turkoglu. It can be seen that Turkoglu received the Most Improved Player trophy in casual clothes.
His face was full of smiles, but there was always a little weird look on his face.
The 'Trophy Curse', which means that the winning team's team will inevitably lose the game, has not yet happened.
Turkoglu was delivering his acceptance speech. Adrian came together with Billups. Adrian's first template in NBA was Billups. At that time, many people regarded Adrian as
It's the taller Billups. He's equally good at defense, and equally good at simple but solid and effective passing skills. As for others taking Billups as their own template, Adrian once said bluntly in front of the media, "I
Much more handsome than him', such a sentence also made a connection between him and Billups.
However, no one now regards Billups as the template for Adrian. Later, his template was replaced by Jason Kidd, and then he was regarded as the defensively enhanced Steve Nash. In fact, now
There is no longer a template for Adrian among the active players in the league, and more people are beginning to regard retired Lakers superstar Magic Irvin Johnson as a template for Adrian.
"I never thought we would have a chance to play against each other in the playoffs so soon." Billups came up and gave Adrian a high-five: "You've grown up too fast, Adrian. In a few years, only God knows you."
What will it become?"
"Thank you Chauncey, maybe I will surprise God then." Adrian laughed and hugged Billups, which immediately killed many reporters.
"Yes, maybe even God will be surprised by your achievements in a few years. But this is also a few years later..." Chauncey Billups raised his eyebrows: "Not now."
"I felt it was too late to start from now on." Adrian shrugged his shoulders with a smile, "Maybe I should get something this year."
"Really? It's a pity that it won't work this year, Ed, because God is on our side this year." Chauncey Billups said with a smile: "Don't forget the curse Adrian, you will definitely lose today."
"I really want to try." Adrian smiled: "Maybe the curse has ended." (To be continued. If you like this work, () vote, monthly vote, your support,
