Chapter 706 The end of the season
The MVP of the finals is an award that Xie Kai cherishes very much. To some extent, it is no less than the MVP of the regular season.Because of this award, he bid farewell to the history of having champions but not MVPs.

Xie Kai used this season to transform himself from an ordinary superstar to a top superstar.You know, throughout the long history of the NBA, there are only a few stars who can have the regular season MVP, championship, and finals MVP at the same time.

Who would have thought that Xie Kaihui in the 2008 class would achieve such a result. Before that, everyone thought that Rose, who refreshed the youngest regular season MVP in history, would become such a superstar, but people's wishes did not come true.

The Grizzlies' championship celebration is scheduled for June 6. For this celebration, the organizers have made careful preparations, and the citizens of Memphis have also responded positively, enough to predict that this will be a grand carnival show.

This is not the first time Xie Kai participated in the championship celebration, but he is still excited.In the past season, so many games, how difficult it is, as a person who has experienced it, he has a deep understanding.Now it's time to celebrate, all the hard work and troubles in the past came to my heart in an instant, and some tears filled my eyes.

At 6 o'clock in the morning on June 19, the Grizzlies' 7 championship parade officially started.According to US media reports, more than 2014 people participated in the Grizzlies championship parade today. The fans excitedly put on the Grizzlies jerseys, and some fans came to the scene holding up the portrait of James crying in pain. ,very happy.

This is the second consecutive year that the Grizzlies have won the championship and completed two consecutive championships. Many players brought their families to participate in the celebration.

Xie Kai was no exception, his wife Zhou Jing and mother Chen Guixiang boarded the leading float with him.Today, not only the citizens of Memphis, but also countless K honeys came to the scene. Everyone chanted Xie Kai's name together, which was very touching.

Xie Kai wore a T-shirt with the championship logo today, a hat with his own logo on it, a big cigar in his mouth, and a big gold chain around his neck, looking like a local tyrant.

Chen Guixiang enjoyed this feeling very much. The more successful her son was, the happier he was. It was her favorite thing to be able to participate in such a grand ceremony.

The enthusiasm of the fans moved the Grizzlies players who participated in the ceremony very much. Conley and other players waved their hands on the float to thank the fans, and immediately uploaded relevant photos on their personal social media. The accompanying text said: Thank you, all Grizzlies fans!The championship belongs to us, Grizzly Nation!

The last battle of this parade is the FedEx Arena, home of the Grizzlies.More than 5 fans at the scene cheered for the team in an orderly manner. Everyone put on white championship T-shirts and witnessed the glorious moment when the Grizzlies won two consecutive championships.

Xie Kai, who won the MVP of the finals, delivered a speech as a player representative.He thanked the Grizzlies staff one by one, and every time he mentioned a name, there would be warm cheers from the fans at the scene.After the speech, he shook hands and hugged with his teammates one by one.

After Xie Kai's speech, the players were interviewed.In the interview, General Arenas revealed that he is about to retire after the end of this season.

In fact, after he won the championship last season, he planned to retire. It was Xie Kai who persuaded him to fight for another season.And this season, his state is indeed not suitable for the needs of this championship team. Retiring after defending the title can be regarded as a successful retirement.

Arenas is very satisfied. Compared with those stars with long peak periods, his peak period seems a bit short, but compared with those stars who have not won a championship in their lifetime, he feels that he is lucky.At the end of his career, he was lucky enough to get two rings. This kind of character is really good enough.

Xie Kai understands Arenas's desire to retire. They have communicated before this, and this is the most suitable time.

After the interview, all the Grizzlies players and staff members went to the center of the field, put two glittering championship trophies in front, and took a group photo together.Xie Kai and Black Bear stood at the front, followed by White Bear, Conley, Old Prince, Mr. Tony and Mike Miller, and the other substitute players were in the back row.After the group photo was over, the colorful ribbons and bubbles all over the sky slowly fell, and the celebration came to an end.

Xie Kai knows that everything he has obtained so far is not taken for granted.In competitive sports, no one can always succeed, but if you want to succeed, you must pay your own efforts.

After the festivities, everything about the season is pretty much over.This season, the Grizzlies really gained a lot.For them, next season is the real challenge. The temptation of three consecutive championships is too great. Who doesn't want to build a dynasty of their own?There is no doubt about it.

For the Grizzlies, there are two problems before them: The first is that the players are one year older.This sentence is not suitable for young players such as Xie Kaibaixiong, but it is very applicable to Heixiong and the old prince.The core players are getting older, their status is declining, and their injuries are increasing, which will seriously affect the team's combat effectiveness.This is a common problem of consecutive championship teams, and no one can avoid it; the second is the issue of salary space.The total salary of the team has exceeded the salary cap. If you want to maintain this lineup and build a dynasty in three consecutive championships, you must pay a huge luxury tax. This is real money for the owner. Will he win the championship for the team? And continue to invest, it is hard to say.

These two issues are the most important. As for the players' lack of desire to win the championship or the suppression of the league, these issues are not the most critical.

Of course, the Grizzlies are still the biggest favorites to win the championship next season. Unless James joins the Spurs or the Thunder, no team in the league can steadily beat them in a 7-win 4-win series.

The free agent market has not yet opened, but NBA teams have begun to recruit, but they are all secretly.The phone calls of agents who have big-name free agents in their hands are probably going to be exploded. There is no way, if you want to win the NBA championship, if you don’t have a superstar in your hand, it’s just empty talk.Don't tell me that team basketball can win the championship. Even a team like the Spurs, which has played team basketball to the extreme, still seems a little weak in the face of the suppression of the Grizzlies superstar.And the Spurs are not considered civilian team basketball, and their GDP is still strong.

This year's offseason is destined to be very lively, because James will become a free agent.He will definitely jump out of the contract, no doubt, whether he re-signs with the Heat or not.

With James as a big fish, the free market will be fine if it is not lively.After all, this is a superstar capable of changing the league structure. There are no more than three such superstars in the entire NBA.
