The invincible kryptonite of basketball

Nothing compares to this moment.

While the team members were celebrating, Tang Tian opened his closet, motioned for Davis and Jokic to come over, and took out a box of mysterious things from it.

It was a box of Moutai he specially prepared before the competition.

He told Davis about his determination to win the championship before the game. In order to show this determination, he also prepared this in advance.

"This is baijiu, Chinese baijiu."

Under the curious eyes of the team members, Tang Tian took out the small cups he had prepared in advance, and poured them one by one.

"It's the best way to celebrate."

He picked up the white wine glass.

Although the team members had never drank baijiu, they saw that Tang Tian did it, so they followed suit.

"Pelican Championship!"

He yelled and drank it down.

"Pelican Championship!"

The other team members also shouted slogans one after another, and then imitated Tang Tian and drank it all in one gulp.

But immediately, almost everyone was choked and coughed.

There was a burst of shouting and cursing in the locker room.

Liquor is definitely exciting enough to drink for the first time.

Only Ariza was there laughing.

When he was playing for the Rockets, he had been to China a few times, and he ate instant noodles, so he naturally knew a lot about baijiu.

He just took a sip just now, but now he is the one who doesn't feel the least among all his teammates, and even thinks it tastes good.

But besides him, someone else was also laughing.

Jokic drank a glass and felt nothing.

Sure enough, most Europeans are not afraid of alcohol, and fat people are naturally talented in drinking.

Drinking a cup of Moutai is an episode of their celebration of winning the championship.

After drinking, the players changed into champion T-shirts, wiped their wet hair with a towel, and walked back to the arena together.

The audience at the scene had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw them coming out wearing the championship T-shirts, the cheers sounded again.

Players from the Pelicans also reached out to greet the crowd.

The preparations for the on-site award ceremony have been completed, and the media and reporters from all over the world have focused their cameras on the center of the court.

New Orleans won a championship as a small city team, which is definitely an inspirational thing.

Alliance president Xiao Hua also came to the venue.

His mood didn't look very good, and the game failed to follow his script in the end, which was not a good thing for him.

But no matter what his mood is, as the president, he has to present the championship for the Pelicans, and he has to act very happy.

"First of all, we have to thank the Cavaliers for their wonderful performance. A good game needs a good opponent. They played very well."

Xiao Hua first thanked the Cavaliers.

There were boos all over the place.

There is nothing wrong with Xiao Hua's statement itself, but after the 1-3 was forcibly blown to 3-3, Pelicans fans will have ghosts if they can buy it.

However, Xiao Hua's ability to control his emotions is really good. He continued his speech with a smile on his face as he did in the draft.

"We also have to thank all the staff, media and fans for their dedication in the finals. They made the game more exciting."

The boos continued on the scene. Although Xiao Hua brought the fans, the referees were among the staff he thanked.

"But we should congratulate the Pelicans and his fans most, they won the first championship trophy in the history of this city, and they were the NBA champions in the 2015-2016 season."

When Xiao Hua read the final lines, the boos at the scene disappeared, followed by a tsunami of cheers.

They have already won the championship, but only from the mouth of Xiao Hua, the president of the league, that is the official announcement!

At the scene, they are the legitimate champions!

After Xiao Hua finished the announcement, he sent the Larry O'Brien championship trophy belonging to the championship to Stevens.

Stevens raised the trophy, thanked Xiao Hua, then turned around and handed it to the players behind him.

An unstoppable scream followed closely behind.

Starting from Tang Tian, ​​to Davis, to Jokic and Holiday, they kissed the trophy one by one.

At this time, the saliva is not a problem at all, and the adrenaline is soaring under the excitement, and the taste has long been lost.

But to say that being the boss of the team is a bit good at this time, Tang Tian was the first to kiss, and the trophy was the cleanest at that time.

He is the first blood to take the trophy.

The team members are still kissing and stroking the trophy, and even Aminu, who is wearing a national flag and holding the trophy, asked reporters to take pictures.

This is the first championship trophy for most of them, and they will naturally leave many memorable photos.

The trophy finally returned to Davis, who pulled Tang Tian and motioned for him to raise his arm for the camera.

Tang Tian did it.

When they made this move, the cheers on the scene exploded again.

Before the start of the playoffs, Tang Tian and Davis, like Terry back then, specially tattooed the championship trophy on their arms.

Doing so put them in a make-or-break situation, which they did in the end.

This will definitely become a topic that fans talk about after the game, and this is destined to become a classic scene in NBA history!

Chapter 851 This is Tang Tian's season!

The award ceremony for the champion was over, and the team members continued to take photos with the trophy.

Reporters also began to interview key players from the team.

The first person to be interviewed was naturally the head coach Stevens.

As a famous NCAA coach, his best performance in the NCAA period was just reaching the championship finals.

But after arriving in the NBA, he won the championship in the third season.

"I'm lucky to be able to coach this Pelicans team, which was already a good enough team before I got here."

When asked to thank him for winning the championship, that was the first thing Stevens said.

The Pelicans' championship run this season is very similar to last season's Warriors.

Also changed the head coach with little change in the lineup, played a season of qualitative change, and finally succeeded in winning the championship.

The only change is the coach. The coach who won the championship must be the biggest one, followed by the growth of the players.

So this sentence sounds right, but it also reflects Stevens' humble character.

Stevens went on to thank the entire team.

"The last person I would like to thank is my wife Trish, who has supported me throughout the year beyond anything I could have imagined."

He finally thanked his wife.

Changing from one city to another to start over and being able to devote himself to work, the help his wife gave is imaginable.

When Stevens said this, Tang Tian also looked at Olsen who was holding the child in the front row of the auditorium.

What Stevens' wife paid, Olsen gave only a little more, especially when he gave birth to two sons at the beginning of the season.

He reached out and touched his pocket, which contained things he had prepared before the game.

It was time to fulfill what was promised at the beginning.

After interviewing Stevens, the reporter pointed the microphone at Tang Tian.

"Don, how do you feel now, after winning the first championship in team history for this city?"

After the reporter finished asking, Tang Tian hadn't even opened his mouth when the fans cheered.

"MVP! MVP!"

Tang Tian played an MVP-like regular season, followed by an unimaginable playoffs.

The name of MVP, no one can bear it except him.

The shouting continued for more than a minute, and the audience stopped when Tang Tian stretched out his hand to signal.

This is also the benefit of winning the championship at home. There are so many fans witnessing this historical moment.

"I'm excited, as excited as everyone in the room."

As soon as Tang Tian opened his mouth, cheers and whistles echoed throughout the arena.

They are echoing what Tang Tian said in this way, and they are proving that they are indeed as excited as Tang Tian said.

Tang Tian didn't do anything this time, and he didn't continue until the cheers from the audience stopped.

"These three years are very important to us. I am not upset because I didn't win the championship last year, or the year before, because I know that we are growing every year. The failures in the past just make us stronger, strong enough to deal with many Unfavorable situation."

Tang Tian didn't say it very bluntly, but the fans cheered and booed after hearing it.

The unfavorable situations Tang Tian mentioned naturally refer to those unfair punishments.

Compared with the straightforward words he said in the press conference after the fourth game, this is already very cryptic.

But what he said is not unreasonable. Last year's Pelicans also had a chance to win the championship, but they were too young and immature at that time.

The butterfly effect exists. If they had won the championship by luck last year, Stevens would not have won New Orleans.

If Stevens doesn't come, they won't establish an offensive and defensive tactical system, and it will be much more difficult to win the championship this year.

Not to mention whether the Warriors can survive, even if they pass the Warriors, they will have to play 5 against 8 against the Cavaliers in the finals, which is not necessarily a win.

So what Tang Tian said was right, the saying that failure is the mother of success is not poisonous chicken soup.

"Now we have won the first championship, but this is only our first season, we will become more mature, we will win the second, the third, we will achieve a dynasty!"

What Tang Tian said next caused the arena to explode instantly.

This is very domineering, really domineering.

If it is not at home to win the championship, it is estimated that the away fans will be pissed off.

But he has the capital to say so.

As he said, their growth in the past three years, coupled with the entry of Stevens, has made this team very mature.

This season, only their first season, they successfully won the championship, and almost crushed it.

Two consecutive championships, three consecutive championships, and even more consecutive championships are definitely possible events!

The big three of TNT laughed when they heard this in the commentary booth.

Buckley kept shaking his head.

"That's why I like him so much!"

O'Neill followed up with a laugh.

Tang Tian sometimes has a more straightforward way of speaking than Westerners.

"They have this opportunity."

Smith was the calmest of the three, but he nodded in agreement.

The Pelicans have a reasonable salary structure, and Jokic has two years left on his rookie contract.

As long as they retain the core structure of Tang Tian, ​​Davis and Jokic, the three consecutive championships are very promising.

Tang Tian's interview ended, and the reporter interviewed Davis, Holiday, and Jokic one after another.

These are the core players of the Pelicans.
