Chapter 298: We don't need this

At the end of the game, blue pieces of paper erupted from the sky. All the Mavericks fans raised their hands, and the stands across the American Airlines Center Arena looked like a real ocean. And this ocean is now making huge waves!

Westbrook stood cross-legged at the entrance of the tunnel, staring at the big screen of Mavericks players partying over.

Countless cameras surrounded him, filming the young man's dejected appearance. But Westbrook didn't care if anyone was watching him now, he just watched the big screen silently, hoping that the person celebrating on the field was himself......

"Let's go, man, there's nothing to see." Durant's voice came from behind Westbrook, and the big man at No. 35 put his arm on Westbrook's shoulder. At that moment, Westbrook tilted his head, gently leaned against Durant's chest, and then, his eyes were rosy.

As a young team, as a group of young players, the Thunder have done well enough. They made it to the Western Conference Finals, a position that most stars have never reached. However, when they lose, the players still feel unwilling.

Human desires are endless, and perhaps at the beginning of the season, the Thunder's goal is simply to make it past the first round. But it's all come to this, who doesn't yearn for the O'Brien Cup?

"Let's go, next year, the people on the big screen will be us!" Seeing that Westbrook was unmoved, Durant pointed to the big screen at the scene and then said this sentence.

"We will come back!" Westbrook clenched his fists.

"yes, man, we'll be back." Durant patted Westbrook on the shoulder, and the two turned around at the same time and walked towards the tunnel of the players.

The camera can only capture the backs of No. 0 and No. 35, and the two leave the field in a gloomy way on the edge of the court. The darkness deep in the tunnel seemed to engulf them completely.

But everyone knows that these two young people exude a ray of hope! The Oklahoma City Thunder, who have left their mark in the history of the NBA. From now on, they will do better!

※※※

The bleak losers have left, and the stadium has completely turned into a carnival for the winners.

Cuban had already prepared the Mavericks' Western Conference Championship commemorative T-shirt, and the moment the game ended, the fat boss rushed onto the court wearing a T-shirt and hugged the players.

At the same time, the Mavericks crew walked up with Western Conference championship commemorative caps and commemorative T-shirts. One of them handed Yiyang the clothes and hat, and Yiyang was stunned for a second before catching them with his hands.

Another championship commemorative cap, yes, Yiyang can already use the word "again". Since Stevens gave Yiyang a commemorative baseball cap for the Lakers' championship at Christmas, Yiyang seems to have been associated with this kind of hat.

In the NCAA, he won his first championship commemorative baseball cap. After entering the NBA, he soon won the Summer League championship with Jeremy Lin and also won his second hat. And now, after nearly a year, Yiyang has won the third championship cap of his basketball career.

Looking at the words "Western Champion" on the hat and the Mavericks' team logo, Yiyang even felt a little trance. Everything seems too dreamy, he and his team are on the top again!

"Hey, get dressed, the award ceremony will start right away!" While Yiyang was staring at the hat in his hand in a daze, Terry walked over and stabbed Yiyang in the back with his elbow.

Yiyang turned his head, only to find that Terry didn't seem to be as happy as he thought.

"What do you want me to do? Get dressed! Being stared at by a big man, Terry also felt a little uncomfortable.

"You...... Why not laugh? ”

"You want to see me laugh?" With that, Terry deliberately made an exaggerated smile. But it only lasted for a second, and it was back to the way it was. "Now, you can get dressed."

Dressed in gray commemorative T-shirts and black baseball caps, the Mavericks players gathered. Cuban high-fived and hugged the players one by one. When he arrived at Yiyang, Kuban first slapped Yiyang on the chest.

Yiyang, who was not prepared, was almost overwhelmed by this blow, and before he could relax his senses, the fat Kuban hugged him.

"Well done, man, well done! When Dirk and I chose you, I knew you could do it! Cuban whispered in Yiyang's ear, looking really excited.

Cuban is well aware that although Yiyang is only a rookie, his role for the team is huge. The selection of Yiyang may be the best draft result in the history of the Mavericks since the selection of Nowitzki.

Yiyang shook his head, if this guy wasn't bloated, he wouldn't have the appearance of a boss at all...... But this kind of boss who is willing to mingle with people, Yiyang likes it!

Minutes later, Cuban and the players were standing in the center of the court, waiting for NBA officials to bring up the Western Conference trophy.

Unlike the NBA championships, the Western Conference Championship ceremony is not so formal, and there is not even a temporary podium. The players stood right in the middle of the pitch, surrounded by a group of journalists, waiting for the award ceremony to begin.

The players hugged each other excitedly and cheered each other on. But Yiyang found that Terry's guy still had a serious face, as if he had lost. Marion jokingly rubbed Terry's head with his fingers, but Terry kept his face blank and stared at the camera as if he had lost millions of dollars.

After a while, several staff members walked out carrying a small platform. Suddenly, the cheers of the scene rose an octave higher. On that small table was a silver spherical trophy. This represents the highest honor in the west!

The championship trophy was placed in front of Cuban, who took the microphone from the staff. This moment of honor, Cuban, as the owner of the team, of course, has to say a few words.

The fat boss in jeans pressed the brim of his hat, then slapped the microphone and prepared to speak!

"I would say that there are more than 20,000 fans here who believe in us. Off the court, there are countless Mavericks fans who believe in us! When no one else believes we can win, it's you who believe in us on and off the field! Of course, I have to tell you...... We're not done yet! After Cuban finished speaking, he threw the microphone directly to the ground, and then picked up the Western Conference championship trophy in front of him.

The moment Cuban lifted the trophy, everyone gathered around, raised their arms, and lifted the trophy above their heads. Yiyang was squeezed into the crowd, feeling the thrill of reaping honors in the NBA.

However, Terry still didn't get involved, he just watched the trophy silently and clapped softly.

In the end, Cuban handed the trophy to Yiyang, who walked into the players' tunnel with the trophy. Yiyang didn't think much about it at the time, and walked to the players' tunnel with the trophy in his arms. It was only afterwards that he realized that this was simply a supreme honor!

In the tunnel of players, the Mavericks high-fived everyone in sight. They are champions and their efforts have not been in vain. They broke all doubts and went to the end.

Terry walked beside Yiyang and glanced at the championship trophy in Yiyang's hand.

"Are you excited?" The jet asked suddenly.

"Of course! Won't you be thrilled to win the championship? ”

"yes, I'm not thrilled at all." Terry's indifferent expression didn't look like he was lying.

'It's not a trophy we really need, we've already won one. Now, we should be thinking about how to get one! Terry said, nodding vigorously.

"Next? O'Brien Cup!? Yiyang looked at the trophy in his arms, and then at Terry.

"That's right, man! O'Brien Cup! That's what we really need! Don't get too complacent, boy, the real battle has just begun! The NBA Finals, that's the final proving ground! Terry pursed his lips and patted Yiyang on the shoulder.

The strongest in the West, it seems that it can no longer satisfy the appetite of the Mavericks.

And what about the NBA's strongest? Well, that's pretty much the same thing!

NBA Finals, the Mavericks are coming!
