圣安东尼奥——在纽约尼克斯击败马刺夺得总冠军的总决赛第五场中，杰伦·布伦森 (Jalen Brunson) 狂砍45分率队赢下收官战，并荣膺本届总决赛最有价值球员（MVP）。
现年29岁的布伦森在2022年作为球队的重磅自由球员加盟，成为这支冠军尼克斯的首位基石球员。在这场五场大战的系列赛中，他场均贡献32.6分、4.2个篮板和4.6次助攻。在周六大部分队友手感挣扎的情况下，他的表现堪称惊艳，全场27投14中，罚球15罚13中。
布伦森在第五战的第四节独得15分——在这一节开始时，尼克斯还落后7分，期间一度落后多达10分，随后他们再次上演了逆转好戏。尼克斯最终以94-90赢下比赛，而他们在上半场一度落后多达16分。
布伦森的45分追平了NBA历史上客场球员在系列赛收官战中的最高得分纪录。
“这就是我梦寐以求的一切，”布伦森在场上接受ESPN的埃尼·约翰逊 (Ernie Johnson) 采访时说道，“这就是我选择纽约的原因。”
布伦森是尼克斯助理教练、前纽约球员里克·布伦森 (Rick Brunson) 的儿子，后者曾是1999年打入总决赛但憾负马刺的那支尼克斯队的一员。在儿子与球队签约前大约一个月，里克·布伦森加入了纽约的教练组。里昂·罗斯 (Leon Rose) 在2020年出任尼克斯篮球运营总裁之前曾是杰伦·布伦森的经纪人，同时他也是杰伦的教父。
布伦森家族与尼克斯之间的渊源极深，而随着球队夺得自1973年以来的首个总冠军，以及杰伦荣膺系列赛MVP，这段纽带如今已被永久铭刻。

Jalen Brunson named NBA Finals MVP after historic 45-point effort in Knicks’ clinching win
SAN ANTONIO — Jalen Brunson scored 45 points in the New York Knicks’ NBA Finals-clinching Game 5 victory over the Spurs and was named Most Valuable Player of the series.
Brunson, 29, the first cornerstone of the champion Knicks after arriving as the team’s marquee free-agent signing in 2022, averaged 32.6 points, 4.2 rebounds and 4.6 assists in the five-game series. He was simply brilliant on Saturday when most of his teammates struggled, shooting 14 of 27 from the field and 13 of 15 from the foul line.
Brunson scored 15 points in the fourth quarter of Game 5 — a period in which the Knicks trailed by seven at the start and by as many as 10 before mounting yet another comeback. The Knicks won 94-90 after trailing by as many as 16 in the first half.
Brunson’s 45 points tied an NBA record for a road player in a series-clinching victory.
“It’s everything I dreamed of,” Brunson said on the floor to ESPN’s Ernie Johnson. “This is why I picked New York.”
Brunson is the son of Knicks assistant coach and former New York player Rick Brunson, who was on the Knicks’ 1999 Finals team that lost to the Spurs. Rick Brunson joined New York’s coaching staff about a month before his son signed with the team. Leon Rose was Jalen Brunson’s agent before becoming Knicks president of basketball operations in 2020 and is also Jalen’s godfather.
The ties between the Brunson family and the Knicks run deep, now permanently cemented by the franchise’s first championship since 1973 and Jalen’s series MVP honor.
