David Lee wore sunglasses and interacted with the fans at the scene. No one knew where this guy took out the sunglasses. Maybe he borrowed them from the audience in the front row.
With his handsome appearance, David Lee has the most female fans in New York besides Lian Dao.
And this guy, like Wilson Chandler, is a man whose lower body can't take any time off.
In this game, although David Lee did not play much time, he still scored 4 points and 2 rebounds.
In fact, last summer, since Stoudemire came to New York, David Lee knew that the Knicks did not leave much room for him, but he still chose to stay for one year and chose to chase the championship.
This summer, David Lee, who won the championship, will choose to leave, and Lian Dao also knows David Lee's choice. In fact, not only David Lee, but also some players will also choose to leave.
But those are all offseason matters.
Now, everyone just wants to enjoy the victory carnival in front of them.
…
The moment the game ended, Jason Kidd sat on the ground. He lowered his head, shook his head and sighed.
He originally thought it would be a wonderful summer, and he thought he would finally be able to win the O'Brien Cup... However, the reality is so cruel, and it is possible that he is destined to miss the championship in this life.
Nowitzki stepped forward and hugged Lian Dao after the Knicks players put him down.
But when he hugged Lian Dao, Nowitzki didn't say a word.
Nowitzki couldn't congratulate Lian Dao in a false way, he was too eager for the championship.
When the game ended, Nowitzki couldn't even accept the fact of defeat.
He was not willing to give in, he really was not willing to give in. Even when Carlisle made tactical instructions against Lian Dao, although he could not bear it in his heart, he still suppressed it forcefully.
But in the end, the Mavericks still couldn't escape the fate of being reversed.
Until now, Nowitzki's team can't believe that they, who held a 16-point lead and even used some off-the-table moves, could lose so completely.
"We lost, you are really strong, sickle!" When Nowitzki said this, his eyes instantly turned red.
He had been trying to hold it back before, but as soon as the words came out, his emotions surged and he couldn't hold it in any longer.
"Thanks, Dirk, you are a great opponent!"
Lian Dao didn't say much. He had experienced the taste of failure. What was right and wrong on the court would not be carried over to the off court, and he did not want to rub salt into the wounds of an experienced player.
After Nowitzki, Kidd also came forward to hug Lian Dao.
"Meeting you in the finals should be our biggest misfortune. Congratulations, kid!" Kidd shook his head and smiled bitterly, but he still fully recognized Lian Dao's strength.
"You are very strong Jason, you are the most cunning fox on the court that I have ever played against." Lian Dao patted Kidd on the shoulder.
After sending away the Mavericks players, Madison Square Garden has completely become a sea of joy for the Knicks players.
Lian Dao and his family members hugged each other. His mother, Zhao Ruoyun, had not yet recovered from her previous fright. After seeing her son, her eyes were slightly red and she kept scolding her. Lian Dao enjoyed everything with a smile on his face.
"You brat, I don't know what's so good about you that makes Yuwei like it so much. She was so distressed when you were injured before!" Zhao Ruoyun said, pulling the little senior sister to the front.
The young senior sister turned red with embarrassment after being teased by Zhao Ruoyun.
Lian Dao pulled the little senior sister into his arms and held her tightly.
"How is your injury?" The young senior sister put her head on Lian Dao's chest, her face full of worry.
"It's nothing serious. If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten about it!" The young senior sister's words made Lian Dao instantly think that his left foot was still injured.
In fact, at the end of the game, the limited time for injury repair card ended, and Lian Dao's left foot returned to the state of torn ligament again.
However, under the influence of the closed game and the excitement of winning the championship, Lian Dao's brain was overwhelmed. Lian Dao did not feel the pain of the torn ligament in his left foot, making him forget that he was injured.
At this time, the sealing effect was reduced, and coupled with the words of the young senior sister just now, he also reacted and instantly felt something strange in his left foot.
Lian Dao hurriedly called his teammates for help.
Teammates also discovered the problem at this time, and Stoudemire and Millsap helped Lian Dao to the bench.
At this time, everyone in the audience realized that Lian Dao was not just pretending to leave the field, he was really injured, but he chose to close the fight and continue to fight.
At this moment, everyone was shocked by Lian Dao. They didn't know what kind of perseverance it took to allow an athlete to drag his injured left foot and calmly attack with all his strength at the risk of retiring his career.
Even Nowitzki in the locker room kept shaking his head, his face full of disbelief.
"I finally know why we lost. He is a madman, a complete madman. I am convinced that I lost!"
The teammates nearby also nodded blankly, and they agreed very much with Nowitzki's words.
How many players have the courage to risk their demise at the beginning of their careers, fight in isolation and with injuries?
No, no player would do this. Compared with the importance of his career, there are more reasons to give up the championship.
But Lian Dao chose the championship, which is something everyone admires and respects.
God is called God because he can do things that ordinary people cannot do.
And Lian Dao is now no less than a god in the hearts of some people. Although they have never seen a real miracle, they have seen Lian Dao's performance, because it is no less than a miracle!
At this time, Lian Dao didn't know that he had been upgraded to a "god" in the eyes of some people.
If he knew, he would laugh out loud.
In fact, Lian Dao never considered himself a god.
If he couldn't redeem the "limited time injury recovery card" and if he didn't have a system, he would never risk his career to pursue the championship trophy. It is precisely because he knows that he has no worries that he dares to do so.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Sitting on the bench, the team doctor made a brief inspection and found that Lian Dao's left foot was swollen. The team doctor asked Lian Dao to do an MRI now to determine the condition of his left foot.
Lian Dao also knew that now was not the time to party with his teammates and relatives, so he was helped into the tunnel by his teammates.
At the Madison Square Arena, there is the Knicks' athlete rehabilitation medical team.
After some examinations, the medical team determined that Lian Dao suffered a moderate torn ankle ligament.
And they concluded that the primary trauma was an ankle sprain, but fighting with the injury led to a secondary trauma, causing ligament tears.
The good news is that the ligament was not completely ruptured, and the medical team gave two treatments.
The first is conservative treatment, plaster fixation, and no surgery is required.
The second is surgery, because conservative treatment is prone to the risk of re-rupture.
But no matter which treatment method is used, Lian Dao will face about 6-8 months of training.
Lian Dao had actually expected this result. Fortunately, the torn ligament was not aggravated by his carelessness.
However, I am afraid that I will miss my first championship award ceremony like this.
Lian Dao sighed with some disappointment.
The doctors on the medical team also knew that this was a glorious moment in Lian Dao's career, and no one wanted to miss his first award ceremony.
So, they fixed Lian Dao's left foot and then prepared a wheelchair.
There are also championship ball caps and championship T-shirts on the wheelchair.
And when Lian Dao returned to the competition venue in a wheelchair, he found that the podium had been set up, and everyone was waiting for his arrival with expectant faces.
"MVP!" "MVP!" "MVP!"
The audience roared with deafening cheers again.
Lian Dao became the first player in a wheelchair to be pushed to the podium by his teammates.
The sparkling O'Brien Cup is next to David Stern, and he can't help applauding with both hands.
He has always hoped to fully develop the potential of the New York ball market, but before that, the Knicks were really unable to support themselves. But this time, he finally achieved his goal.
In the past two years, as the influence of Lian Dao continues to grow, and the strong attention of the New York ball market, complementing each other, the league has made a lot of money, not to mention anything else, just selling NBA in other countries
The country’s broadcast rights have doubled.
What's more, there are ticket sales, commercial sponsorships, and peripheral products, dolls, jerseys, basketballs, star cards, etc.
It can be said that Lian Dao has really become a cash cow for David Stern.
