"Houston, Cleveland, Oklahoma, Brooklyn, I'll never forget the last few years, they all meant a lot to me, but it's time to say goodbye to being a basketball coach for a while."

After reviewing his experience of coming to the NBA, Tang Tian also began to get to the point.

"Stay, Coach!"

"We need you, Coach!"

"This alliance needs you!"

……

When he said this, although he had expected it, there were still people shouting from the fans behind him.

Tang Tian smiled and waved his hand to signal them to be quiet, and waited until they were all quiet before continuing.

"For me, it's perfect to have 10 championships as a coach and a couple of coaches who can get 10 championship rings."

When Tang Tian spoke, the camera focused on the nine championship rings.

Yes, only the Lord of the Rings Russell in a wheelchair on the side or the deceased Auerbach can compare, but it only took Tang Tian 13 years to complete this achievement, which is the most terrifying.

"It's not the end, maybe it's just a temporary goodbye, I'm still here in this league, I'll always be by your side, but it's time to say goodbye to coaching."

After Tang Tian finished speaking, he handed the microphone back to the reporter, and then turned around and hugged Hathaway and Swift.

There was a whistling and cheering behind him.

Thousands of miles away at the Barclays Center, across the ocean, many viewers in front of the TV couldn't help but sigh and even cry.

13 years is already half of their youth for many people.

Tang Tian's retirement speech was over, and their youth seemed to have come to an end.

However, the interview with reporters did not end, George, Irving, Butler, Jokic, these players who played well in the Finals were interviewed.

At the same time, the staff on the other side were also nervously counting the final FMVP vote count.

Compared with last year, the suspense of FMVP this year is smaller.

Jokic averaged 11.8 points, 10.9 rebounds, 6.8 assists and 2.1 blocks per game while shooting 60% from the field and 40% from three-point range.

With George's rise and Irving's continued efficiency, Jokic's role on the team is also changing, and his role on the defensive end has improved significantly after losing weight, and he is more like a pass-enhancing version of Green.

Although the stats are not the most eye-catching, his role is the most irreplaceable for this Nets team.

Butler averaged 13.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 3 steals per game while shooting 51% from the field.

His performance in the Finals except for the fourth game was more on defense, defending Curry, defending Thompson, and even misplaced defending Green, and he also interpreted the ability of a top defender.

Irving averaged 22.8 points, 5.8 assists and 1.5 steals per game while shooting 49 percent from the field.

Irving's performance in the Finals was as consistent as ever, and although he didn't kill as much as he did in last year's Finals, he was strategically important to the Nets, as long as he was there, he was the biggest check on the opponent.

George averaged 30.1 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 2.1 steals per game while shooting 47% from the field and 44% from three-point range.

George was undoubtedly the best player in the Finals, or he has been in amazing form since the Eastern Conference finals.

Against the Warriors, he is also completely inferior to Durant on both offensive and defensive ends.

Without a devastating foot injury and a metamorphosis, George has a more consistent projection, better individual offensive ability, and of course, still has the league's top defensive ability, and surpassing Durant is no longer a dream.

At least for now, he has a lot of potential.

After the reporter's final interview with George, the statistics on the sidelines were done.

Xiao Hua took the envelope containing the results, and Russell was helped by Wade and Yi Jianlian to stand up tremblingly from his wheelchair.

Everyone's eyes looked at Xiao Hua.

Although most people already have the result in their hearts, it is still different from the meaning of the actual announcement.

Xiao Hua also quickly opened the envelope, and then announced the final ownership of FMVP.

"It was Paul George who won the 2018~2019 NBA Bill Russell Cup, and he received the most votes from fans and media."

There was no suspense, when George's name was read out, the audience cheered, and the Nets players also pushed George to the front of the stage.

It was George's trip to the Grand Final.

"Congratulations, little one." Russell held up the trophy and handed it to George, smiling and shaking his hand.

George bowed down to accept the trophy.

After the cheers of the audience, he also began his speech as an FMVP.

"The last two years have meant a lot to me and I'm really grateful that the coach and the management of the team were able to bring me to Brooklyn and it changed my career, and there is no better place for me than here, thank you coach."

The first sentence of his speech thanked Tang Tian not for his family, but for Tang Tian, and it is conceivable that Tang Tian has a position in his heart.

"I have to thank my family for ......"

He then began to thank his family, friends, teammates and fans, this is the first FMVP trophy of George's career, and he has a lot to say.

“…… Finally, I would like to thank the coach again, he has really changed me a lot and inspired me a lot, although he said that he will not be our coach next year, but he will always be in my mind, spurring me to keep working hard. ”

Thanks to Tang Tian at the beginning, and then to thank Tang Tian at the end, George's acceptance speech was very distinctive, and it also attracted cheers from the fans behind him.

It's a season that belongs to the Nets.

The day after their victory, they returned to Brooklyn, New York.

They were still greeted by a crowd of black presses.

Considering that they won the title 4-2 on the road last year and 4-0 on the road this year, the New York fans will have to climb one night to see their champions.

"We love you! Instructor! ”

But what is different this year and last year is that the focus of fans is not on George, who has just won the FMVP, but on the retired Tang Tian.

But no one cares, Tang Tian should be the focus of everyone's attention.

Feeling the enthusiasm of the fans, Tang Tian suddenly felt that although he was no longer coaching for the time being, he really couldn't do without this league.

The victory parade was held in New York the next day, and like last year, it was still two cities, still two cities.

The difference is because of Tang Tian, the enthusiasm of the fans is much higher than last year.

"Honey, you should keep coaching." Looking at the rabid New York fans, Swift spoke from the sidelines.

He and Hathaway knew that Tang Tian loved basketball and coaching, and if it weren't for his family, he really wouldn't have made this choice.

Tang Tian touched Swift's head and said with a smile: "I'm still very young, maybe when Sky grows up, I will come back." ”
