"Audience friends, welcome everyone to watch the 2o13-2o14 nba opener with us, I'm Mike Brin ......"

In the first regular season game of the new season, which is also the opening game of the NBA, Mike Brin and Jeff Van Gundy appeared on the sidelines, and the Spurs had a nationally broadcast game for the simple reason that the Spurs were the champions last season, because there was a championship ring presentation ceremony next.

For this national live broadcast, the league specially arranged the Warriors, a team that played against the Spurs last season, as the opponent of the Spurs' opening game.

Before that, though, the Warriors didn't have anything to do, as the Spurs needed to be awarded a championship ring before the game began.

"Coax!"

The lights in the arena suddenly lit up, and in the middle of the stadium, there was a small table with trophies on the table, which was the O'Brien Cup that the Spurs won from Miami last season, and in front of the O'Brien Cup, there were more than a dozen shiny championship rings.

nBa president David Stern and Spurs owner Pete Holt stood at the front of the table, and after a few brief words from David Stern, to the cheers of the fans, ** Vic was the first to walk up to the court to receive the ring, and ** Vic was followed by the Spurs players.

As is customary in the NBA, every player who was with the Spurs last season can receive a championship ring, and several players from the Spurs have left to join other teams, and they didn't show up, but they will be handed over to them when the time comes.

However, Maddie came to the scene today because he did not join any team, and he was still wearing the Spurs jersey and was the first to come on the court to receive it. The moment he received the championship ring, Maddie was obviously very excited, and he couldn't wait to put it on his hand.

The players came to the court one by one to receive it, and it was Li Yang's turn to play, and the cheers on the scene suddenly became a little higher, although it has been a few months, fans still remember that it was Li Yang who blocked Ray Allen in the last round to allow the Spurs to accept the championship trophy steadily.

"Yang! Poplar! ”

In the shouts of the fans, Li Yang shook hands with David Stern, and then walked to the side of the boss Pete Holt, and after hugging the boss, he happily received his own championship ring from the other party.

When he got his hand, Li Yang was not in a hurry to wear it, but looked at it happily.

The NBA championship ring is worth a lot of money, especially if the player gets the most advanced version, each one is different, the ring is made of white gold, nearly twice the size of the ordinary ring, the top of the ring is covered with a dense circle of diamonds, and in the middle is the Spurs logo and O'Brien Cup pattern inlaid with diamonds and platinum and gold.

Among them, the diamond, which symbolizes the ball at the top of the trophy, is exceptionally large and unusually conspicuous.

In the middle of one side of the ring is engraved the nBa icon, and the two sides of the icon are engraved with "2o" and "13" respectively, which means that this is the championship ring in 2o13, with Li Yang's name written on the top end of the icon and number, and Li Yang's jersey number "19" written on the lower end.

On the other side of the ring is the must-have shape of the Spurs championship ring, with the words "nBanetBa Champion" engraved on it, and below this line, five small trophies are engraved, meaning that this is the Spurs' fifth championship.

The lowest ends of the five trophies are crossed together, and at the five intersection points there is a hammer, and under the hammer is a cracked stone set with diamonds.

Seeing this pattern, Li Yang immediately knew what it meant, this is the spirit of the little stonemason that has always been very respected in the spur culture.

In the Spurs locker room, there is a phrase that every Spurs player knows by heart: "When all else seems to be going to nothing, I go to see a stonemason knock a stone." He knocked it 1oo times in a row, but the stone still didn't move. But when he struck the 1o1st time, the stone cracked in half. But I knew that it wasn't the final blow that made the stone crack, but the result of all the previous blows. ”

Li Yang took the ring in his hand and looked at it again and again, and now that the ring was almost finished, he immediately put the ring on his finger.

Most of the other Spurs players are also the same performance as Li Yang, such a ring alone costs tens of thousands of dollars, but the value of this ring obviously does not lie in its cost, but in the honor behind it, just look at the look of a rich man like Maddie after seeing the ring.

After the ring was awarded, Parker made a simple speech as the player's representative, and this honor should belong to Duncan, but Duncan has always been low-key, so the task was given to Parker.

After Parker's brief speech, the final ceremony will take place, the championship flag is raised.

Li Yang and his teammates stood together, watching the championship flag slowly rise with a solemn face, and his heart was full of pride.

On this banner, he has his own meritorious service, and thinking of this, Li Yang feels extremely proud.

At this time, Li Yang turned his head sideways again and glanced at Duncan, who still didn't have much expression on his face, the greatest power forward in history, Duncan at this time had already sat on this throne, and the five championship flags on his head, only Duncan was the only one who had participated in all of the players present.

Five championships, four finals mVp, Duncan's greatness is enough to reflect the two numbers.

"Coax!"

The fifth championship flag was fully raised and the four flags above the arena were juxtaposed, and there was a huge cheer from the scene, which woke Li Yang from his contemplation.

At this point, the championship ring award ceremony is completely over.

The Warriors players also came to the sidelines at this time, watching Li Yang and others reveal the rings in their hands for reporters to take pictures, and their eyes were full of envy.

After the reporters took pictures, Li Yang and others came to the sidelines, and then handed over the championship ring to the staff for safekeeping and preparing for the next game.

The two teams just met in the playoffs last season, and the two sides are very familiar with each other, but the Warriors' roster has changed a few times compared to last season's playoffs.

David Lee has fully recovered, and the Warriors brought in Andre Iguodala this summer, so the Warriors lined up Bogut, David Lee, Iguodala, Thompson, and Curry in this game.

The Spurs have a very stable lineup, still Split, Duncan, Leonard, Green, and Parker.

Players from both sides came onto the field, and as the referee's whistle blew, Duncan and Bogut jumped the ball.

"Tim wins the jump ball and the game is officially on!"

In the cheers of Spurs fans, Duncan beat Bogut to help the Spurs take the lead in attacking, and the new season opener began! 8
