Chapter 851: This is Tang Tian's Season!

At the end of the championship award ceremony, the team members continued to take photos with the trophy in their hands.

Reporters also began interviewing key figures in the team.

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

As an NCAA coach, his best result in the NCAA was reaching the tournament finals.

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

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

When asked about his thanks, that was the first thing Stevens said.

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

It was also changed that the head coach was changed with little change in the lineup, played a qualitative season, and finally succeeded in winning the championship.

The only change is the coach, and 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, Tracy, who has given me so much support throughout the year that I could never have imagined."

He finally thanked his wife.

The help his wife received from his wife to start anew from one city to another and to be able to devote himself to his work is imaginable.

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

Stevens' wife gave a lot more, and Olsen gave a lot more, especially when he gave birth to two sons at the start of the season.

He reached into his pocket, which contained something he had prepared before the game.

It's time to honor what you promised.

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

"Don, how do you feel right now, after winning the first championship in the history of the city?"

After the reporter asked, before Tang Tian could speak, the cheers of the fans had already sounded at the scene.

“MVP! MVP! ”

Tang Tian played a regular season with an MVP performance, and then played an unbelievable playoffs.

The name of MVP is unacceptable to no one except him.

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

That's also the benefit of winning the championship at home, with so many fans witnessing this historic moment.

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

As soon as Tang Tian spoke, the cheers on the scene resounded through the stadium again, and the whistles came and went.

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

Tang Tian didn't do anything more this time, and waited until the cheers of the audience stopped before he continued.

"These three years have been important for us and I don't get upset that we didn't win last year, or the year before, because I know that we have grown every year and that our failures have only made us stronger, strong enough to deal with a lot of bad situations."

Tang Tian didn't say it very bluntly, but after listening to it, the fans cheered or coaxed.

The unfavorable situations that Tang Tian said naturally meant those unfair punishments.

Compared to the blunt words he said in his post-Game 4 press conference, this was already quite subtle.

But what he said made sense, and last year's Pelicans had a chance to win the championship, but they were too young and immature at the time.

The butterfly effect exists, and if they had won the championship by luck last year, Stevens wouldn't have been in New Orleans.

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

Don't say if you can get by the Warriors, even if you pass the Warriors, when you meet the Cavaliers in the finals, you have to fight 5 to 8, and you may not be able to win.

So what Tang Tian said is right, failure is the mother of success, and this is not poisonous chicken soup.

"Now we've got our first title, but it's only our first season, we're going to get more mature, we're going to get the second, we're going to get the third, we're going to have a dynasty!"

Tang Tian's next words also made the arena burst into flames instantly.

It's very domineering, really domineering.

If it weren't for winning the championship at home, it would probably be able to off the away fans.

But he has the capital to say it.

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

This season, just their first season, they managed to win the championship, and they almost crushed it.

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

The TNT Triumvirate burst out laughing when they heard this.

Barkley shook his head.

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

O'Neill laughed.

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 rookie years left on his contract.

As long as they retain the core structure of Tang Tian, Davis and Jokic, a three-straight championship is very promising.

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

These are all core players of the Pelicans.

Davis burst into tears during the interview.

In the past three years, he has been under a lot of pressure as a champion, and this championship is a great encouragement for him.

While the interview was going on, the media on the scene was also doing the final counting of the FMVP.

At the end of the interview, the staff came over with an envelope containing the results.

This is probably the least suspenseful FMVP.

Tang Tian averaged 35.5 points, 5.2 boards, 7.2 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.1 blocks per game in 7 games, shooting 55% from the field and 48% from three-point range.

That included a triple-double in Game 3 and a record-breaking 62 points in the tie-break.

Bill Russell was in a wheelchair and was pushed out of the crowd to help him up.

Xiao Hua also opened the envelope and squeezed out a smile to announce the final result of FMVP.

"The winner of the 2015~2016 Bill Russell Cup is ...... Tang Tian. ”

There was no suspense in the results.

The voting results were also played on the LED screen at the scene, and Tang Tian got all 11 votes from the media.

Russell trembled and handed the trophy belonging to FMVP to Tang Tian.

Tang Tian took the trophy from Russell's hands with both hands, and then held it high above his head.

The cheers of the scene once again resounded in the stadium.

This season, Tang Tian won the regular season MVP, All-Star Game MVP, and Finals MVP.

In addition to that, he also has the best defensive player, being selected for the best defensive team and the best team.

He even surpassed Jordan in the 87~88 season (who won all the above honors except FMVP) and Olajuwon in the 93~94 season (who won all the above honors except for the All-Star Game MVP). )

This is Tang Tian's season!
