Chapter 417: Will You Marry Me?

"Great show."

Stern and Sun Hao shook hands and embraced, smiling.

Although the defensive battle of the finals was not to his liking, the ending was good for him.

Especially the kind of script effect that comes with this ending: the Lakers are coming back after the F4 failure, re-ascending to the top, and completing redemption.

If the Lakers make a documentary about this season in the future, it will definitely be a big hit, and it will also play a huge role in promoting the NBA.

Of course, there is also Sun Hao's performance, not to mention before, let's just say that in the last game, he scored 23 points and three points of logo, and it is not an exaggeration to say "the strongest in history" for such a performance.

It is even predictable that the sensation caused by this performance on the Chinese side will also be seismic.

Or in other words, the Chinese market is likely to be fully opened because of Sun Hao's performance and this one championship.

So with such a result, it is impossible for him not to be happy.

"Thank you."

Sun Hao, Stern, and Tytum hugged one after another.

It was only then that he noticed that Adam Mosaic was not there.

Mosaic is generally impossible to be absent on such important occasions, and it is likely that something happened at the top of the NBA, and it seems that he has to find out after the game.

After Sun Hao and Stern greeted each other, preparations began on the spot for the awards, and he also returned to the locker room to change their championship T-shirts.

He was the last to enter the dressing room, and as soon as he entered, it didn't feel like the atmosphere was right, because the rest of the team was unusually quiet.

It wasn't until he went in that he knew what this anomaly was.

With a scream from Damon Jones, Sun Hao felt champagne hit him in all directions.

In the next second, he took a standard champagne bath.

He felt a little water in his ears, shook it from side to side, and then couldn't help but let out a loud "oh" in excitement.

These teammates of his really can't wait for a moment!

But it's a really cool feeling.

"Heroes of Los Angeles, I'm waiting for you."

O'Neill came over and hugged Sun Hao in the next second, and then said something out of his mind.

Sun Hao nodded.

Now it is estimated that only O'Neill knows what he wants to do tonight.

Of course, Sun Hao's champagne bath is not the end.

By the time Phil Jackson arrived in the locker room to call the players out, he was drenched over.

However, the Zen master was in no worse mood than the rest of the Lakers, and he showed a KFC grandpa-like smile and quietly enjoyed the champagne bath.

Because of Sun Hao and O'Neal, his legendary coaching career continued.

How could this make him unhappy!

By the time the Lakers returned to the court from a brief locker room celebration, preparations for the medal ceremony were over.

As soon as they came out of the players' tunnel, they were greeted by an overwhelming cheer.

The audience had returned to the auditorium, and the Staples Center was still full, with no audience leaving.

They were all waiting for Stern to announce that they had won the championship, and it was supposed to be a heart-wrenching moment.

The Lakers players were guided to stand up, and Buss Sr. stood at the front of the team, his face still ruddy, and his excitement had not subsided.

The lights on the scene focused on the center of the arena, which was the trophy representing the 2004~2005 NBA championship, shining gold.

Stern stepped into the spotlight.

He had a copy of the speech in his hand.

"Great show."

The first thing he said was the same as what he said to Sun Hao.

"Great team."

Of course, he had more to say than that.

After the cheers of the fans, he briefly reviewed the Lakers' championship journey this time.

Nuggets, Spurs, Mavericks, Pistons.

The opponents the Lakers have defeated along the way are all ruthless characters.

"Great journey."

And Stern's speech was very professional, using three great adjectives to summarize this championship of the Lakers.

At the end of his speech, in the expectant eyes of the fans, he announced the final ownership of the championship.

"The winner of the 2005 NBA Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy was...... Los Angeles Lakers! This is their 15th championship in team history! ”

When Stern made the announcement, the cheers from the audience exploded in an instant.

"Lakers Championship!"

And I don't know who to start with, the Lakers slogan that has been familiar to fans began to grow from small to large, and finally resounded throughout the Staples Center.

They have been waiting for this slogan for too long, too long!

Stern picked up the trophy from the table and turned to hand it to Old Bass.

Old Bass's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but kiss the trophy directly excitedly.

Like what he said before the game in the dressing room, this title means more to him than any other champion in the OK era.

Because for a man of his age, "salvation" is far more meaningful than "glory".

He kissed and handed the trophy directly to little Bas behind him, reaching out and patting the latter's shoulder, with a satisfied look in his eyes.

After the Lakers won the championship, Buss Jr.'s first cut last summer was a stroke of genius, and he was happy with his son's performance.

It can even be said that this championship can make him feel at ease and boldly hand over the team to Bass Jr.!

Little Bas looked at his father, and although there was no verbal communication between the two, he already understood what he meant.

He was overjoyed, but he didn't show it, and after stroking the trophy, he turned around and handed it to Phil Jackson behind him.

In the process, he looked at Sun Hao next to Jackson.

The biggest change in this team in the summer is Sun Hao, and he also has a good view of Sun Hao's supernatural performances in the finals.

It turns out that the champion may have water, but the MVP will not have it, and the FMVP will not have it!

Sun Hao will be the answer to the Lakers in the next decade!

When Phil Jackson looked at the championship trophy, he laughed like a KFC grandfather again.

It's his 10th championship, and by the time next season begins, he'll have a championship ring on his hands.

Even as long as he leads this team to win another championship, he is the "Lord of the Rings" in the coaching world.

Sun Hao has just turned 24 years old, and O'Neill can still fight, which is an absolute high probability event.

When he handed the championship trophy to O'Neal behind him, he turned his head and couldn't help but kiss Jeanie Buss next to him.

Holding the championship trophy and soaking the boss's daughter, the pinnacle of life.

O'Neill gave a deep kiss on the trophy.

His desire for this championship is also more than ever, and now that he really holds it in his hands, the emotion is indescribable.

Perhaps only the mouth that smiled brighter than chrysanthemums after the kiss was the best portrayal of his mood.

When Sun Hao took the trophy from O'Neill's hand, he also kissed it fiercely.

Don't ask if it's dirty, who cares about that when this adrenaline rushes like this?

After kissing, he handed the trophy to Malone and Divac behind him, his hands kept in his pockets.

The players posed for a group photo with the championship trophy, and the elder Bass gave an unscripted speech on behalf of the team.

"I have to thank all the fans for supporting this team no matter what situation it is in."

As soon as old Bass opened his mouth, he knew that he was an old orator.

The response from the audience was even more enthusiastic cheers than before.

Old Bass and the Lakers, and Auerbach and the Celtics are similar, they are all totemic figures of the team.

"I also have to thank the management, the coaching staff and everyone on this team because you can't win a championship without any of you, it's a team win."

Old Bass turned his head back as he said this, and everyone on the team applauded and cheered.

O'Neill looked more excited than ever.

Since their first title in 2000, he hasn't seen Bass Sr. give a speech.

"I have one person I have to thank in particular, Sun."

Old Bass's next words pushed the emotions of the audience at the Staples Center to another climax.

Sun Hao's performance tonight makes it difficult not to focus on him.

"His performances this past season, including the playoffs, have completely refreshed my understanding of him, and no words can describe how much I like him, but I'll just say one thing, and there's a reason Michael sees him as his first pick."

It is not necessary to use the most flowery rhetoric to say that a person is powerful, and sometimes simple but to the point words can resonate with people.

Old Bass's words were like throwing a handful of sparks into a haystack, instantly igniting the emotions of the fans.

If Jordan didn't have a personal preference for Sun Hao as the head of the five quarterbacks before, then Sun Hao's performance this year is worthy of the name.

Stern also clapped with a smile on his face.

He could finally stop looking for Jordan's successor.

And this man still has such an appetite for him.

The championship ceremony came to an end.

Bill Russell was helped to the scene.

Next up is another prize for Champions Night, FMVP, also known as the Bill Russell Cup.

Of course, this award needs to be voted on by 11 large media outlets on the spot, which will take some time.

During this time, it is the time for the players to pose for pictures with the championship trophy, and the time for the bigwigs to chat and chat with each other.

For example, Stern greeted Russell's physical condition, and two old friends, Bas Sr. and Russell, also chatted with each other about the current situation.

Sun Hao, at this time, called Scarlett to the venue.

"Where do you want to go in the summer? Hawaii, Miami, or want to go to China? ”

Sun Hao was asking Scarlett some questions that seemed normal but were a little strange.

It's normal because Sun Hao basically has a game every summer.

Starting with the Asian Championships in 2001, it was followed by the World Championships and the Olympic Games.

In contrast, he will not play in the Asian Championships this year, and the Olympics will be next year, which is a rare time for him to plan completely by himself.

It's strange because at this point in time, they can talk about this kind of thing slowly after they go home.

"Hawaii, where summer feels good."

Scarlett thought for a moment and said.

Sun Hao smiled and nodded, he hadn't been to Hawaii yet, so he just went to take a look.

While they were talking, the envelope containing the results had already been delivered to Stern.

The spotlight was on the center of the field again, and Stern was smiling as he held the envelope in his hand.

This year's MVP actually doesn't have much suspense.

Sun Hao played six games, 32 points in the first game, 35 points in the second, 25 points and 10 assists in the third game, 19 points in the fourth game, 45 points in the fifth game, and 36 points in the sixth game.

After 6 games, he can contribute an average of 32 points and 5.6 assists per game!

If you don't look at the name, just listing this set of data, most people will think that this is Jordan's performance in a certain Finals.

Not to mention Sun Hao's performance in the last two games, which can be called "God playing in the No. 95 jersey".

So the fans' eyes at this time are not curious, but expectant, expecting Stern to announce the answer that everyone can guess.

"It was Sun Hao who won the 2005 Bill Russell Cup! Congratulations! ”

Stern knew that the fans were urgent, and he didn't deliberately stop there, but directly announced the final result.

When Sun Hao's name was pronounced, the cheers at the scene erupted, and the decibel size seemed to overturn the roof of the stadium.

Compared with two years ago, Sun Hao's FMVP content with the Lakers has more than doubled.

Whether it is the opponent or his performance, he deserves the words "undisputed".

In fact, 9 of the 11 media outlets voted for Sun Hao, and the remaining 2 voted for O'Neill.

O'Neal averaged 23.6 points, 15.5 rebounds, 3.6 blocks and 3.1 assists per game in six games, shooting 57% from the field.

Although this kind of performance is not as dazzling as Sun Hao, it is definitely still dominant.

"If we have the chance, we can talk privately."

Bill Russell handed Sun Hao the trophy that belonged to FMVP, and in addition to congratulating him, he also sent an invitation to Sun Hao.

Sun Hao smiled and nodded in agreement.

On paper, I finally feel shallow, and some words of this kind of super-historical legend may be a great inspiration for him.

Immediately afterwards, it was Sun Hao's personal speech time.

He prepared a rare speech.

At the beginning, like Old Bass, Sun Hao thanked everyone who should be thanked, and even the list of his thanks was more comprehensive than Old Bass's.

Of course, none of this was the reason why he took out this speech, because he was already familiar with it.

When it came time to get into the subject, his hand holding the manuscript even began to tremble slightly.

This is the first time he has done such a thing.

"When I was 15 years old, I met the most important person in my life, a girl, in Spain."

When Sun Hao continued to say this, the fans at the scene had already guessed something, and the cheers began to appear unstoppable.

Of course, Scarlett also reacted, in fact, she had vaguely guessed what Sun Hao was going to do before that, but guessing and confirming were two things.

Especially when it's happening.

Sun Hao continued his speech.

"In Spain, you are allowed to marry at the age of 16, but in my country, at 15, you are still a child, you should study hard and improve every day, or you should train hard and try to play well, but I am in love."

The scene has begun to whistle unstoppable.

Sun Hao has told the stories that have been circulated by the media in a more detailed version!

Full of curiosity, at this moment is suspended.

"A miswritten email address has made us lose contact for more than ten years, I used to wonder if the girl forgot about me, I think the girl also thought about the same thing, but God will not let two people who love each other be separated like this.

We met again on a special night, and we found that we still love each other, and even because of age, we can really feel that those who are not children play at the beginning, it is love, because it has experienced the proof of time. ”

The cheers of the scene could not be stopped at this moment, and Scarlett cried with joy.

From a sensational point of view, what Sun Hao said may not be the best, but it is the most true.

People have the most primitive desire for the opposite sex, which sometimes gives people an illusion of love.

In fact, the easiest way to distinguish between illusion and love is to use time to prove it.

Those who are together because of desire will eventually be separated because of the retreat of desire.

And because of love, it will be like wine, the longer it becomes, the more fragrant it becomes.

Sun Hao and Scarlett are a special case, and they have been apart for much longer than they have been together at the beginning.

But it is also the feeling that is still strong for each other after a long absence, and that is actually love.

"Now the woman should give up a lot of good opportunities for me not to shoot kiss scenes, I think that's the best proof of love, life is short, I think it's time."

After Sun Hao finished speaking, he handed the microphone to the staff on the side, took out the diamond ring box that had been prepared from his pocket, and then knelt down on one knee to open it.

The moment the box opened, the spotlight came down, and the bright and shiny color made people dazzle.

It was a red diamond ring with a huge diamond.

Even from a distance, the diamond ring is at least more than 8 carats, and with that kind of expensive workmanship, it is worth at least more than 4 million.

The cheers that erupted at the scene were mixed with countless voices of envy.

Championship rings may be more ingenious, but as the saying goes, "diamonds last forever", diamond rings are what women love the most.

Moreover, Sun Hao is not only holding a diamond ring in his hand, he is also holding a hot FMVP trophy in his other hand.

He got down on one knee and looked at Scarlett with clear eyes:

"Honey, will you marry me?"
