The Rest, Only Noise

Chapter 1041: game of the century

"Okay, let's go out and celebrate."

The players put on the first championship jersey in the history of the league, neatly put on the black hat marked with the championship trophy and rushed out of the locker room.

This moment is special, not only for the player, but also for the player's family.

Louis let out a long breath.

"Old Lu, you have completed an unprecedented job." Zhao Yuanzheng may be the only one who knows how Louis did these things.

Louis just shook his head with a wry smile, and then came to the locker room to meet President Jack Kruger. He was still so excited that he couldn't help it.

"World champions! World champions!" Kruger roared, "We are world champions!"

Louis does not know whether this game will change the fate of the Knicks.

He didn't ask, because Kruger was in high spirits.

They returned to the garden with the rest of the team.

In the award ceremony after the game, apart from the moment when Kruger was overjoyed to hold the trophy, the most concerned thing was the fmvp selection.

Before Game 7, the judges may still be swinging between Wilson and Ewing.

But after Wilson scored 66 points in a single game, there was no suspense.

In the seven games of the finals, Wilson won his fourth fmvp trophy with an average of 37.4 points, 7 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 2 steals and 1.4 blocks per game.

For this result, Wilson felt ashamed.

He thought that his selfish performance in the first six games could not bear the honor of fmvp, but the judges would not care about this.

"If you don't put away the trophy, I'll take it home and give it to a cousin who is willing to spend the night with me!" Rodman laughed.

Wilson grinned and glanced at Ewing secretly.

But Ewing said without any personal emotion: "Hold it up, you deserve it!"

Wilson grabbed the trophy as carefully and jerkyly as if he was holding the fmvp trophy for the first time.

He didn't want to be too proud or satisfied, he always felt that this trophy didn't belong to him.

Miller then booed and let the others boo and celebratory cheer on his body.

In an instant, collective emotion overwhelmed individual shyness, and Wilson was no longer burdened.

"Is this the perfect team, Louie?" Tomjanovich asked.

"No."

Louie shook his head and laughed.

"This is my dream team."

Tomjanovich still has questions, but it's not the right time to bring them up.

During the game, Louie asked him what to do to keep this team.

What does that mean?

Will this team disappear?

how can that be possible? How could they disappear when they are so united now? Or, in Lu Yi's eyes, the beauty in front of him, the perfection at this moment, the scene where this dream is reflected in reality, is unsustainable?

Rudy didn't press the question.

He felt that he had to find the answer by himself.

One day, he will be the head coach too, he has to think like Louie.

why? He doesn't know yet, it's a mystery.

In the end, Louis also wore a black championship hat and won the O'Brien Cup under the support of everyone.

In this way, the nba1992-93 season ended with the Knicks' six consecutive championships and came to an end.

For the league, the appearance of such a game on the eve of negotiations on the next broadcast contract is tantamount to a godsend.

The influence of the Knicks and Trail Blazers Finals, especially Games 6 and 7, on North American sports and pop culture cannot be overstated.

In numbers, Game 6 was watched by 52 million viewers, and Game 7 reached an even more terrifying height.

In the first half of Game 7, 55 million Americans watched the live broadcast. In the third quarter, when the Blazers played their most ferocious offensive and established a 22-point lead, the number of people who watched the live broadcast reached 58 million.

In the fourth quarter, from the Knicks' jedi counterattack until Wilson's lore at the end, the ratings of the tiebreaker were fixed at 61 million.

This not only far surpassed MLB's legendary Game 7 of the 1991 World Series, but also surpassed the epic Game 7 of the 1986 World Series, becoming the highest-rated game in a North American sports league except for the NFL's Super Bowl.

This is attention.

Through this round of the series, the combined direct and indirect income of the league and the team from advertising, endorsements, peripheral products, tickets, etc. has reached 40 million US dollars.

This is profit.

Wilson, Jordan, Ewing, Barkley, Thomas, Rodman, Sabonis... The two teams will have at least 10 Hall of Fame players in the future.

This is the card face and star content.

Best player, best team, perfect storyline.

The summation of all this made basketball critics dare to call the seventh game between the Knicks and the Trail Blazers the first "game of the Tury" in the history of professional basketball.

The game of the century, this is the exclusive term of American football commentators.

It was born in the 1930s, and the two sides were the two best teams in college football that year—Ohio University and the University of Notre Dame. Ohio established a 13-0 advantage in the first three quarters, but was reversed by the University of Notre Dame in the fourth quarter.

There were 80,000 people who witnessed the game live. They bought tickets for $50 in the 1930s, just to avoid regretting themselves for the rest of their lives. In the end, the process and dramatic results of this game did not disappoint them. This is recognized as the first game of the century in history.

After that, almost every ten years, there will be a shocking game of the century in college football.

Moreover, as strong as the NFL, only the 1958 championship game is called the game of the century. That year's NFL championship game was the beginning of live professional sports television, setting an astonishing record of 45 million viewers, paving the way for the future Super Bowl to become a national program in the United States.

Now, back in 1993, when basketball pundits called Game 7 of the Knicks-Blazers the Game of the Century, there were plenty of football fans and pundits who were dismissive.

But for basketball fans, that's the best way to describe Game 7.

In terms of height, the Knicks may not be as good as the Celtics team that created eight consecutive championships in 1966. In terms of the degree of twists and turns of the game, it is also slightly inferior to the seventh game of the Eastern Conference Finals in 1988. To choose a game in the history of professional basketball as the game of the century, it can only be the seventh game between the Knicks and the Trail Blazers.

Historical status, game of the century... These debates belong to the selling points of critics and the talking points of fans.

After the game, Wilson was asked how he felt about the strength debate between himself and Jordan so far.

Wilson replied with a smile on his face: "I don't know who is stronger, but I win every fight."

Ewing made a classic joke, "On behalf of the team, I officially invited Charles Barkley to our championship celebration. If he hadn't 'invited' Coach Road to drink that bottle of Coke, maybe the Blazers would have won the championship. In the final, if he didn't come to the celebration, I think we might not dare to speak on stage."

"Oops, let the haters down again ~www.novelmt.com~ Miller hits the big director again," I don't want to hear a single question about Spike Lee tonight, we all know he's an idiot. "

As the person concerned, what Louis needs most now is to rest, and all the lip service is left to the players.

He's exhausted himself this season.

To that end, Louie called Auerbach to ask him how to keep going after losing motivation and energy, and, is this a good time to take a break?

As a result, Auerbach couldn't believe what he heard, and asked in surprise: "Rest? Are you **** kidding me? Why do you have the nerve to say this word to me? Do you want me to give you advice? What advice do you want?" What advice do you think I can give you? How the **** are you 33 years old and how can you sleep after winning your seventh championship?"

Louis immediately realized that he had found the wrong person to ask for advice.
