Chapter 378: Champion of the East and West
Herb Cole didn't respond for a long time, but silently watched as the Bucks players in the center of the court accepted the Eastern Conference championship trophy.
Hammond finished what he had prepared in advance, he thought about the possible reaction of Hebercol, but he did not expect the latter to respond with silence, which made him not know what to say for a while!
The topic was interrupted like this, Hammond was a little aggrieved, he wanted to put a gun to Hebcole's head to force him to agree immediately, and then after he signed, he slapped him twice hard, and scolded viciously: "Lao Tzu is all for you!" ”…… After Hammond finished his mind, the entanglement in his eyes was no longer so obvious, take your time! Fighting this iron can't be expected to take him down in one round.

The Celtics left the stadium with the cheers of the Milwaukee fans, the big three at the front had a wooden expression, and they couldn't see what they were thinking, and the other players were confused, they didn't know what to do next, and Rajon Rondo was unwilling to look back at the arena, he was very unwilling to lose!
Rajon Rondo is the only player in this tired team who has played exceptionally in this series, he can average 16.8 points, 11.2 assists and 8.7 rebounds per game in 5 games, second in the team, first in assists, and third in the team.
One thing is for sure is that the era of the Celtics' "Big Three" is slowly coming to an end, and even if they don't disband next season, it's certain that the tactical core will gradually shift to Rajondo.

"Congratulations, Yi, a hearty victory, congratulations on finally winning the Eastern Conference Championship, this is the first Eastern Conference championship trophy won by the Bucks in the past 35 years, you helped the Bucks break an embarrassing record again, I don't know how you feel right now!"
"It's fun, I love the moment, it's exciting!"
"Yi, Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals will be played tomorrow, which of these two teams do you think will eventually make it to the Finals?"
"Lakers, I think many fans will be the answer, but since the Suns can draw 3-3 with the Lakers, it is enough to show that they have enough strength, at least compared to the Lakers, they are not much worse, so I really don't know which of these two teams will enter the finals, maybe, you can wait for me to watch the game and then tell you the result."
Ha~
The reporters at the scene were all amused by Yi Jianlian's last sentence!
"So do you think the Bucks have a good chance of winning the championship this year?"
"Definitely, there is no doubt about it! We've won the Eastern Conference, and that's what makes us want to win the championship even more, so why can't we be the final champion when we're already the Eastern Conference champions? It's the same thought that came to mind when I won the Eastern Conference championship! ”
"One more question, will you re-sign with the Bucks early?"
This is a question asked by a reporter from Milwauki Land, Yi Jianlian glanced at him, and replied for a long time: "You should ask General Manager Hammond this question, in fact, you shouldn't bother me with these questions at this moment!" ”
"Sorry, I just ......"
The local reporter in Milwaukee was a little embarrassed, and he wanted to explain a few words, but Yi Jianlian directly interrupted him: "I grew up in Milwaukee, Xiao K gave me unconditional support, the fans cheered the loudest every night, and there is a group of the best teammates here, I have no reason to leave Milwaukee, right?" ”
After Yi Jianlian finished speaking, the Milwaukee reporter nodded sharply for a while, a fool can understand what this means, as long as the Bucks normally propose a contract extension, he will sign, this is what Yi Jianlian wants to express.
It was also at this moment that this Milwaukee reporter felt guilty in his heart, such a childish heart, but he just questioned it in front of other reporters, no wonder Yi Jianlian was angry.
Thankfully, he wasn't really angry.
The Milwaukee native reporter who asked the question was glad in his heart, while the other media reporters had a flash of regret on their faces.
It seems that Yi Jianlian is not planning to leave Milwaukee, and their city has no hope of grabbing this fast-rising superstar next year!
In their opinion, since Yi Jianlian is loyal, Hammond is afraid that he will offer a contract with a maximum salary in both hands tonight, and this matter will naturally come to pass.
Renew the contract! Sometimes it's as simple as that!
Cleveland Management: Why can't I meet this kind of good thing?

The final battle of the Western Conference was fought at the Staples Center.
This is the final game in the true sense of the word, whether the Lakers win or the Suns win, this will be the last game of the Western Conference finals.
Because these two teams have already played to a 3-3 draw earlier.
This undoubtedly exceeded the expectations of most fans, and no one could have imagined that this Suns team would be able to play a tie-break with the Lakers.
Could it be that this team failed to reach the finals at the peak moment, but instead completed a breakthrough that could not be completed that year after a year of decline?
A lot of fans even had such thoughts.
No way, it can be seen from the first six games of the Western Conference finals that the difference in strength between the Suns and the defending champions is really not big, and they can play to the last moment every time, and then decide the final winner by virtue of the victory or defeat in the last few rounds!
The process of this game is still like this, the two sides are very anxious to play until the last quarter, the Suns can't limit Kobe's play, and the Lakers can't limit the cooperation between Nash and Xiaosi.
Especially Xiao Si, in this round of the series, he actually fought the Lakers Twin Towers alone, and he did not fall behind at all, and his scoring ability was sharper than the season when he averaged the highest points per game.
But it's a pity that the Suns finally lost, because the Lakers have Kobe, as well as Artest and Odom, the key fourth quarter of the game or so, it was these two people who stood up and scored in a row, helping the team widen the difference to 7 points, and the Suns team except for Xiao Si and Nash, no other players can stand up, after the Lakers targeted Xiao Si and Nash, the other players of the Sun team missed several opportunities, and the Suns also hated it, 3-4 regrettably, stopped in the Western Conference Finals, Failed to achieve a bigger breakthrough.
Tens of thousands of fans in the stadium cheered as the gold ribbon fell from Staples Arena as they began to celebrate the Lakers' third consecutive year in the Finals!
