Six Hundred and Five: 1 Can Not Be Less
The golden O'Brien Cup. In the past, Grizzlies fans could only see that thing on TV.
Not to mention the Grizzlies winning the championship, they were not even qualified to witness the other team's championship on the spot before.
But at this time, this beautiful trophy was lifted above the head by Link and team owner Robert Pera.
A player wearing a Grizzlies jersey is holding up the NBA championship trophy, which makes Grizzlies fans feel a little too dreamy.
When the Grizzlies won Link on a 10-day contract, it didn't even cause a stir in the league. But now, Link has returned a huge wave to the Alliance!
Fans shouted spontaneously after Link and Pera handed the trophy to the others.
Everyone knows what the next moment is, Link sadly lost to James in the regular season MVP selection. But for the finals MVP, no one can compete with Link!
FMVP selection, in fact, most of the time there is no suspense. Can the loser win the FMVP? Yes, Jerry West, the "LOGO man" in 1969, did it. But in the entire history of the NBA, the loser won the Finals MVP, and only this time.
Generally, FMVPs are awarded to the star of the winning team. Unless other players have made a significant contribution, it's almost a no-brainer award rule.
Everyone in the Grizzlies has contributed to this championship. If you only look at this game, it is not surprising that Nick Young won the FMVP. Without his 9 points in 1 minute, Link's 14-point streak would be meaningless.
And Butler, Iguodala, Gasol and others are also very commendable for their performance in certain games.
But if you look at all 6 games of the series, Link's contribution is undoubtedly unparalleled.
Link is the first Grizzlies player to get a triple-double in the finals. In 6 finals games, Link has got a double-double in 5 of them! His averages of 32.1 points, 10.8 rebounds and 8.2 assists per game are unmatched.
In 2011, Dirk's peak battle, the entire finals played 40.3 minutes per game, scored 26 points, 9.7 rebounds and 2 assists. Link's final data this year easily surpassed the "German tank" that was known to be unsolved at the time.
There is no doubt that this is a historic finals performance by Link!
Therefore, this year's FMVP awards can be said to be without any suspense!
Seeing everyone being so enthusiastic, Bill Russell didn't give in. He moved closer to the microphone and announced the results directly.
"The 2012-2013 NBA Finals MVP was...Link!"
Russell handed the trophy to Link. After Link took the trophy, he did not forget to hug Bill Russell.
It is a supreme honor to receive a trophy named after him from "The Lord of the Rings"!
Not to mention, Link is the first undrafted player in NBA history to receive the FMVP honor!
Although he has only played in the league for three seasons, the title of "the most successful undrafted pick in history" can already be transferred from Ben Wallace to Link.
FedEx Arena ushered in the climax of the evening when Link was expected to lift the Bill Russell NBA Finals Most Valuable Player Award.
Mike Brin looked at the excited fans around and smiled.
"They loved him because he brought them their first rays of sunshine."
Afterwards, everyone handed the championship trophy to Link. Link held the O'Brien Cup in his left hand and the FMVP trophy in his right hand, and was interviewed by reporters.
"Link, everyone knows that this championship is extremely difficult to come by. You made the history of the Grizzlies, and from now on, the Grizzlies are also a championship-level team! And you, it is very likely that you will become the Grizzlies. The greatest star in the history of the Bears! Do you have anything to share with the fans about tonight's victory?" The reporter pointed the topic to Link's mouth,
He was in the limelight again.
"Thank you for your support, you are right, this championship is not easy, we have worked hard and experienced a lot of difficulties. But...I want to say, this is not the end. A championship, How is it enough?"
This sentence brought an end to the intense 2012-2013 season.
Of course, more people think this is not the end, but the beginning of the Grizzlies' golden age.
The first undrafted FMVP, will never turn this into his last championship trophy.

In the player tunnel, a group of men who had just fought hard on the field seemed to have instantly turned into little boys in middle school.
They were like a group of students about to go on a spring outing, clamoring for the locker room.
Around them, countless cameras were aimed at them. All their rubbing samples will be faithfully recorded and shown to fans all over the world.
But they don't care, it's their moment, they just want to have a blast!
"Hey, Nick, you are our top scorer, can you pay attention to the impact!" Randolph shouted in the player tunnel, because Nick Young was so excited that he took off his jersey and is now completely naked Photogenic.
However, where is Randolph himself? His slightly bulging belly had already been transmitted to thousands of households through the lens of the camera.
Link continued to follow the crowd to the locker room. When the Grizzlies players pushed open the door of the locker room, they found that a dozen buckets of high-end champagne submerged in ice had been prepared on the table in the locker room.
It seems that before the game was over, Pera had the champagne ready.
"Wait!" Nick Young jumped out immediately after seeing the champagne, stopping the "bandits" who were about to grab the champagne.
"What's wrong?"
"Let me see how much this bottle of champagne is worth!" Nick Yang, like an antique expert, picked up a bottle of champagne and looked at it carefully.
In the end, Nick Yang's expression changed from a smile, to shock, to excitement! The champagne in his hand is a limited edition of Moët Rosé Champagne! Just one bottle is worth $1800!
At $1,800, that's not a small number. In the United States, an iPhone is only a few hundred dollars. A PS4 game console is only $299. And the price of a bottle of champagne is already several times the price of those electronic products! Two bottles of this champagne might be enough to buy a used car!
"How is it? Do you see something?" Seeing that Nick Yang didn't speak for a long time, everyone asked.
Nick Young looked at the champagne in his hand and looked around again. This $1,800 bottle of champagne, there are at least 300 bottles here... The limited edition champagne has become a "bad street" thing in the Grizzlies locker room.
So Nick Yang spoke slowly, word by word, "Tonight, we may spend hundreds of thousands of dollars, guys."
"Then," said Link, stepping up to pick up a bottle of champagne and shaking it, "we can't waste it!"
"Pfft!" The bottle cap spurted out, and the golden wine sprayed out.
The next second, everyone joined the battle. At $1,800 a bottle of champagne is really expensive. But in front of the championship, what is the price of this celebration?
Randolph's "bandit chief" took two bottles by himself, one bottle was poured into his mouth, and the other bottle kept pouring out. Shane burst into tears and laughed. This guy's championship dream was finally realized in the final stages of his career.
Nick Young was the happiest person. He stuck out his tongue and greedily sucked every drop of wine in the air. 1800 a bottle, do not drink for nothing!
As for Link, he was soaking wet, and the championship T-shirt was glued to him. But Link didn't care, he still splashed his teammates recklessly, not letting go of any target.
Fifteen minutes later, the locker room suddenly fell silent. Robert Pera, who was standing at the door of the locker room waiting to take a photo with the players, was a little surprised. Those guys are so powerful? Dried 350 bottles of champagne in fifteen minutes?
At this time, Link opened the locker room door, but only opened a small opening and stuck his head out.
"Robert, come in, everyone is waiting for you to say a few words." Link found that Pera was waiting outside, so he waved at him.
"You... it's over so soon!?" Pera looked at Link's wet hair and swallowed.
He's going to a nightclub with everyone tonight to party. As a young and single diamond king, he doesn't want to appear in a nightclub like a underdog.
"Of course, it's over. Come in, don't we want to take a photo together!" Link said involuntarily, dragging Pera into the locker room.
When Pera stepped into the locker room and saw the scene in front of him, he knew that he couldn't run away today!
All the players in the locker room are ready with champagne, facing their boss.
"No, no, I just got my hair done, I just..."
Before Pera could finish speaking, the black and white bears hiding behind the door turned the champagne bottle upside down and poured the champagne directly from Robert Pera's head.
Pera only felt a chill all over her body, and then scolded, "You will all be fired, all of you will be fired by me!"
Although she was cursing, Pera laughed, grabbed a bottle of champagne, and joined the chaos.
Now, the talents are truly here!
Randolph, sitting in front of his cabinet, couldn't help laughing all the time. Unexpectedly, a bastard like him could one day embrace honor. When did all this start? Randolph's eyes fell on Link unconsciously.
That kid... he's only in third grade...
When it comes to the inevitable fall of the Kobes, people tend to sigh. This alliance seems to belong to the post-80s and even post-90s world.
The wheels of the times inevitably move forward, and this season in the West, Bryant fell, and so did Duncan.
It was Link and the Grizzlies who made it to the last minute and became the final winner! There is no doubt that this is a victory against the trend, a victory for the mainstream.
The most frightening thing is that this is Link's third year in the league. In the future, he will still have many opportunities to bring the entire league under his command!
As Link said in an interview, "How can one championship be enough?"
"Zach, are you being lazy? Come on, face the fiercest firepower!" Link's shouting pulled Randolph back from his thoughts.
Randolph smiled, really wanting to see what kind of achievements this kid can accomplish in the future...
When Jordan first entered the league, no one knew he could create an era.
