Chapter 328: Championship Ring Award Ceremony (1/10)
The ATT arena was buzzing tonight with happy smiles on the faces of the fans, just like last season's championship parade.
Because tonight, the stadium will have a ring awarding ceremony for the overall champion!
Last year, because it was an away championship, the fans were not able to witness the stadium win the championship.
But now, they're able to see the league award championship rings to their teams at home!
David Stern, president of the league, and Adam Shaw, vice president, were all present at the game.
Amid the cheers of the fans, the table with the championship ring was pushed to the center of the field.
The photographer at the scene gave a close-up of the ring for the first time.
In the center of the top of the ring is the Spurs logo, surrounded by diamonds, above the team logo are the three letters "NBA", and at the bottom is the English letter "champion".
Compared to the championship rings of other NBA teams, the Spurs' ring is as low-key and unpretentious as its team culture.
There is an obvious point, that is, the word "" on the general team is "", while the Spurs are "".
The biggest advantage of this is to save money, after all, the theme of the championship ring is pure 14K white gold and diamonds, and the cost of a few words will be much less.
After Stern's congratulatory opening remarks, he joined Spurs owner Holt to present championship rings.
First the coaching staff, then the core players, and finally the bench players.
There are also two types of championship rings, one with a name, which is for players who have played in the finals and have obtained statistics, and the other is for bench players who have not played for a long time.
After the GDP went up to get his own championship ring, Tang Tian appeared for the fourth time.
His arrival on stage drew cheers from the fans, and the decibel level was no smaller than the previous GDP.
Speaking of contributions, Tang Tian's contribution in the finals is second only to Duncan, which fans know well.
Tang Tian took the ring from Holt's hand.
"Congratulations, you're outstanding."
Stern on the side congratulated and gave Tang Tian a hug.
With a smile on his face, he could feel that these actions were visceral.
Last year's finals were a record high in China, and he should indeed be happy.
And that is obviously inseparable from Tang Tian.
After Yao Ming, the NBA finally found another player to reopen the door to the Chinese market.
When Tang Tian and Stern were hugging, they noticed that there was a gaze on the side.
He turned his head and found that it was Xiao Hua.
Unlike Stern, although Xiao Hua is also smiling, he is a little smiling and not smiling.
It was previously rumored that Xiao Hua was competing with Stern's old rival Tetham for the position of successor in the league, because Tetum has Asian ancestry, so he is very uninterested in Asian players, and he doesn't know if it's true or not.
After taking his championship ring, Tang Tian then walked back to the queue.
"Why do I think this ring is similar to '07? The only difference seems to be the numbers. ”
As soon as Tang Tian walked back, he heard Parker's whispered complaint.
He smiled and picked up the ring and looked at it.
The front of the ring is the same as the one that the photographer put on the big LED screen, with the initials of Tang Tian's name written on one side and an interesting pattern on the other side.
A hammer striking a rock that had been shattered.
This should be a picture version of the proverb in the locker room.
It seems that this rock culture is really ubiquitous in the Spurs.
"Manu, you have to give the designer some buffer time, you have won a championship in the past few years, and the place above is so small."
As soon as Tang Tian finished reading this, he heard Ginobili's sassy words and couldn't help but be amused.
The championship ring is more of an honor, simple or worthless, its meaning is the most important.
The ring presentation ceremony is still ongoing.
At this time, at the other end of the court, the players of the Thunder team looked at the court with envy.
At this time, Durant's move is more hilarious.
He deliberately didn't forget to look over there at first, but after a while, he couldn't help but turn his head to look, but maybe he thought of something, and immediately turned his head again, and after a while, he couldn't help but peek.
That scene, if it weren't for the lights hitting the center of the venue, would have been projected onto the LED screen by the photographer.
He was thrilled to win the Olympics, but when he returned to the NBA, he found that he cared most about the NBA ring.
It's just that with Harden's departure, the ring is a little farther away from him than before.
At the end of the ring awarding ceremony, the flag-raising ceremony of the overall champion was carried out on the spot.
The site used "." (We are the champions) in the background, the scene is almost a chorus.
With the singing, the Spurs' fifth championship flag was raised to the ceiling, and the scene resounded with deafening cheers.
Now, they're the defending champions!
Durant finally looked at the flag with a focused expression at this time, his eyes full of complexity.
"Kevin, let's get started!"
At this moment, Westbrook patted Durant on the shoulder hard and said in a firm tone.
Harden's departure has demoralized the team, but not Westbrook, who will always be the team's most motivated man.
Durant nodded, then looked at the Spurs halfcourt on the other warm-up.
Although Harden's departure has caused the Thunder's strength to decline, with him, Westbrook, and Ibaka, the team's core framework is still there, and the Thunder are still very competitive.
The Spurs won the championship last season without being fancied, and they can do the same.
And he improved significantly on the dribble in the offseason, and his personal self-confidence was also at its peak.
After the award ceremony, the scene was followed by the opening ceremony, and the starters of both sides appeared one after another.
The Thunder are still the same lineup as last season, with Westbrook and Sofrosa on the outside, Durant and Ibaka at the front, and Perkins at center.
On the Spurs' side, Popovich also lined up the regular lineup, with Parker and Tang Tian on the outside, Leonard and Duncan on the front, and Split on the center.
Ibaka gave the Thunder a chance to jump first, and Durant went to the frontcourt to ask for the ball directly to single Leonard.
Unlike last season, when he could only break through on the left and roll over jumpers, because of the enhanced dribble, he faced Leonard directly with a cross-step at this time.
Leonard made a steal, but his death entanglement was unsuccessful.
Durant's concentration was scary in the opening high, and the moment Leonard made a move, he changed direction and took a step forward to shoot directly.
"Huh!"
Basketball hollow into the net.
Durant leads the way for the Thunder.
His facial expression after the goal was rather grim and he really looked like a grim reaper.
"Limit him to the ball as much as possible."
Tang Tian took the initiative to remind Leonard at this time.
Durant has always had a sensitive personality, and the Spurs must have stimulated him by sending a championship ring in front of him.
And more critically, Durant now knows how to dribble, which is more difficult to deal with than last season.
