Soon, the Chesapeake Energy Arena was occupied by a group of Spurs players wearing black patterns on a white background, who stood in the center of the field. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The round Western Conference Championship trophy was also placed in the center of the field.
Amid cheers, the host of the medal ceremony brought David Robinson, Admiral, the former leader of the Spurs, to the center of the field.
The two were separated on both sides of the trophy, and although there were not many fans in the stadium anymore, at this time, the remaining neutral fans and Spurs fans still created a lot of cheers for the upcoming award ceremony.
"Now, everyone should know that the Spurs have a chance to compete for the championship this season......" The host's opening remarks were interrupted by a cheer, he paused and continued: "Today, there is a Spurs legend who is on the scene to present the San Antonio Spurs with the 2011-2012 Western Conference championship trophy, and he is Admiral David Robinson!"
David Robinson stepped up and waved at the fans on the sidelines, and there was another cheer.
David Robinson stepped forward directly, and in the host's introduction, picked up the round championship trophy, behind him, Tim Duncan walked over, as the captain of the Spurs, he took the trophy, in a cheer and music celebrating the championship, Tim Duncan lifted the trophy, he and Manuginobili and Tony Parker next to him put their arms around their shoulders, and a group of Spurs players bouncing around.
After the award ceremony, Tim Duncan, as the captain, made a speech, to be honest, this is the first time Anxi has seen Tim Duncan say so much.
"Today, we defeated the Thunder and won the Western Conference Championship, which is a very good result, but we have to know that a Western Conference championship is not the end, and next, we still have the Finals to play, and our ultimate goal is the championship!"

The award ceremony for the Western Conference championship is over, and for the Spurs, they have a long break, after all, on the Eastern side, the Heat and the Celtics are 2:2.
Unlike the Spurs, who easily resolved the Thunder 4-0, the Celtics and Heat played an extremely fierce Eastern Conference showdown, and when the Spurs returned to San Antonio, the Celtics traveled to Miami to prepare for the fifth game between the two sides.
For the Spurs, even if either team wins two in a row between the Celtics and the Heat, the start of the Finals will not be until four or five days later, and the Spurs will have to plan well again for such a long break.
On June 5, 2012, the Celtics' Game 5 against the Heat began, and the league announced its final regular-season award, the All-Defensive Team, before the game began.
Anxi, who has returned to San Antonio, was pleasantly surprised to find that he was selected to the All-Defensive Second Team.
Named to the All-Defensive Team were the Grizzlies' Tony Allen, the Magic's Dwight Howard, the Thunder's Sergi Ibaka, the Heat's LeBron James and the Clippers' Chris Paul. Among them, Sergi Ibaka is the league's block king, and Chris Paul is the league's steal king.
The second team selected for the best defensive team is the Spurs' Anxi, the Lakers' Kobe Bryant, the Celtics' Lagalondo, the Knicks' Tyson Chandler and the Celtics' Kevin Garnett.
And Anxi was selected for the second team of the best defensive team, which was a bit of a surprise for him, but the outside world has long argued that Anxi's performance this season can be selected for the best defensive team, especially after the start of the playoffs, this voice is getting louder and louder, and in the end, Anxi was indeed selected for the second team of the best defensive team.
Even so, there are still those who believe that Anxi should even be selected to the All-Defensive Team for the first team, not the second team, and many experts list statistics to prove this.
In the regular season, Anxi's average data per game is 9.8 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.5 blocks, compared to Tony Allen in a team, this data is not bad at all, in the regular season, Tony Allen's average data per game is 9.8 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.8 steals and 0.6 blocks, in terms of defensive data, there are more rebounds and steals than Anxi, but Anxi's blocks are higher than Tony Allen, and the more important steals and blocks in the defensive proportion, Anxi have reached more than one.
There are also experts who list a set of data, and the players opposite Anxi have an average shooting rate of only 36.8% per game, while Tony Allen's data is 37.6%, which is slightly worse than Anxi, so some experts believe that combined with Anxi's backwardness in rebounding data and steal data, Anxi should at least be on par with Tony Allen.
Some netizens took out the data of the Spurs vs. Thunder series, the Spurs played the Thunder, Anxi defended Kevin Durant, the regular season scoring champion, in four games, Kevin Durant shot 9 of 27 in the first game, 5 of 15 in the second game, 6 of 13 in the third game, and 13 of 30 in the fourth game, four games, a total of 85 shots, 33 shots, and the shooting rate was only 38% In four games, Kevin Durant only averaged 19.8 points per game, a regular season scoring champion, and his average score per game was less than 20 points, which shows the horror of Anxi's defense.
But that voice quickly faded in the stunned aftermath of the Celtics' win over the Heat.
In Miami, the Celtics defeated the Heat 94-90 with Kevin Garnett's 26 points, 11 rebounds and 2 blocks, Paul Pierce's 19 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals, and Lagalondo's 7 points, 6 rebounds, 13 assists and 4 steals. Although LeBron James got 30 points and 13 rebounds, and Dwayne Wade got 27 points and 6 rebounds, the 4-point gap still made them lose the battle of Tianwang Mountain!
The Celtics actually won the Heat away and won the battle of Tianwang Mountain, which was before the game, who would have thought?
After winning this game, the Celtics are already 3:2 ahead of the Heat, and the next game is still the home court of the Celtics, so many people began to disbelieve the scene in front of them, the Heat lost the battle of Tianwang Mountain, so it is very likely that the Spurs will meet the Celtics in the finals?
"The Big Three have teamed up for two years, and they easily reached the Finals in the first year, but they lost to the Mavericks who broke out in their twilight years, do they have to lose to the Celtics this year, and they can't even enter the Finals?"
"Hair band Zhan! Hair band Zhan! It's time for you to take off your headband!"
"The Heat's internal stubborn disease really has to be solved, Kevin Garnett is powerful in the twilight of this game, and the weak Heat interior line can't resist it at all!"
After the game, there were various arguments in the major forums in the United States and China, and it has to be said that after the Big Three teamed up, the Heat gained a large number of fans, and at this time, in the face of their beloved team about to lose again, and in a way far lower than expected, these fans could no longer bear it.
"If we can't win the championship again this season, the Big Three will be on the verge of collapse, right?"
"In fact, the Big Three are nowhere near as strong as they think, 1+1+1 is less than 3!Maybe it's time to trade......"
