In the end, Yao Ming narrowly led in the votes, defeating Garnett, who was destined to be unrelated to FMVP, and was selected as this year’s Finals MVP.
Garnett’s loss in the FMVP selection, in Qin Yue’s view, was likely related to Adidas, who, noticing Garnett’s flirtations with Anta, was no longer willing to spend money on promoting him.
Throughout the finals, Garnett’s diligent dedication and sacrifice for the team, if it weren’t for Yao Ming repeatedly ntioning during his acceptance speech...
Only looking at matchup data without watching the ga, you might even have the illusion that Garnett was suppressed by Duncan for six gas.
But in reality, after watching the gas you will find...
Heavy-hearted Duncan only had a more impressive statistics sheet than Garnett because of more tactical preferences from the Celtics.
Additionally, Ray Allen, who was the first to fall out during the FMVP selection process, was also related to Nike not wanting to forcefully promote this consistently lukewarm shooting guard.
As a player with an exclusive "AJ" shoe line, Nike certainly could hype up Ray Allen...
But compared to Yao Ming, who was more deserving of FMVP, Nike clearly understood that forcefully promoting Ray Allen in this era where they haven’t fully monopolized the NBA, David Stern not only would disagree...
But they might also inadvertently provoke Kobe, the leader of the "Anti-Qin Alliance."
Thus, after weighing all sides, Yao Ming beca the second Finals MVP from China in NBA history with a slightly superior on-court performance.
Successfully elected as FMVP, Yao Ming was undoubtedly filled with joy.
However, Qin Yue, who always loved to speak the truth, later sarcastically said to Yao Ming: "Shaful trophy thief!"
"Hehe, I knew you’d envy my FMVP trophy."
"Brother Yao, is it possible that before you were elected FMVP, I was already the FMVP?"
"Stop talking nonsense. If you have the guts, get on the ga and let’s PK!"
"..."
...
The Supersonic’s championship after a 29-year gap brought a perfect ending to the 07/08 NBA season.
Next, all NBA teams’ focus was on the upcoming 2008 draft.
The Warriors have no first-round pick this year, and their second-round pick is relatively late.
After Qin Yue received the list of players the Warriors could choose from Mulin, he completely lost interest in this year’s draft.
Although the Pacers were willing to offer the Warriors a second-round pick around the 40th position...
Qin Yue, who could only select Goran Dragic at this position, was not interested at all.
If Qin Yue rembers correctly, historically, Dragic took five to six seasons to transform into that star guard in his mory.
Indeed, if the Warriors were willing to give Dragic enough ti to develop, the Warriors might shorten Dragic’s growth cycle to three to four seasons.
But for the Warriors, who urgently need to return to the peak, how could they waste such precious ti on a young player full of uncertainties?
Furthermore, if the Warriors choose Dragic just to let him be a substitute...
Isn’t the current Jack stronger than Dragic was at the beginning of his career?
However, having nothing to do during the draft doesn’t an the Warriors’ next focus has disappeared.
Because the reason Qin Yue had no patience to wait for Dragic’s growth...
Is mainly because two-ti regular-season MVP Steve Nash has agreed to join the Warriors.
Just...
To acquire Nash, the Warriors must prepare the chips in the coming days.
Even though Nash has player options this sumr, because the Warriors currently do not have enough salary space to take in Nash’s contract, a sign-and-trade is the Warriors’ only way to acquire Nash.
For Nash, who is determined to leave Phoenix, Steve Kerr did not make any unreasonable offers.
But after sweeping through the Warriors’ roster list...
Kerr hopes the Warriors can pull in a third party to complete this trade.
Kerr is well aware that the players he is interested in from the Warriors, Mulin cannot possibly agree to give him, so only by bringing in a third party can this trade possibly move forward.
Mulin wholeheartedly agrees with Kerr’s view.
However, after inquiring around, Mulin suddenly fell into deep thought.
Indeed, there is a team willing to join this three-team trade.
"Modern sports dicine is very advanced, I believe a torn cruciate ligant will not prevent Barang from returning to the peak.
He is a two-ti championship player. If you can trade with us through a sign-and-trade thod, we will offer him a high-paying long-term contract that matches Steve Nash." On the phone, the Clippers’ general manager Elgin Baylor said to Mulin.
Undoubtedly, from every perspective, the Clippers, who voluntarily stepped up, are a great benefactor in every sense.
Initially, to take in Nash’s contract, Mulin considered sending out Murphy or Deng Liwei in this trade to balance the salary.
But now...
With the Clippers stepping up, the Warriors only need to offer Davis a contract with an approximately equivalent annual salary, and they can acquire Nash through a three-team trade.
However, this three-team trade currently has two issues that Mulin must solve.
The first issue is, Qin Yue had promised earlier that he would leave a spot for Davis in the future.
