Chapter 173: Two Consecutive Crowns! (Second Update!) )
"First of all, I have to thank Coach Tang Tian, I'm very happy to see him standing here, he is so young, but he has led the team to win two consecutive championships, a great coach."
Stern's words pushed the atmosphere to the climax in an instant.
"Don! Tang Dynasty! ”
The cheers at the scene were overwhelming.
Only by witnessing can you know how much a coach has contributed to a team, and this cheer is the best proof of this.
It wasn't until the cheering stopped that Stern was able to continue.
"I think I'll have to mention you at the end." Stern was also joking.
The scene burst into laughter, and it turned out that Stern had such a humorous scene.
"I also have to thank Tom Thibodeau, Steve Cole, and general manager Darrell Morey, the owner of the team, Mr. Alexander."
Stern then went on to list all the key figures on the field and took one last look at the O'Brien Cup.
"Now, Team Rocket, the championship is yours again."
One word after another, pushing the atmosphere that has reached the climax by another dimension.
Stern then picked up the championship trophy and handed it to Alexander, who hugged him tightly.
By the time Alexander lifted the championship trophy, the scene was completely blown up.
"4th title in 25 years, 2 times 2 times in a row, it's a great achievement, Mr. Alexander, you must be very excited right now, what do you want to say most about now?" When the scene quieted down, the ABC reporter began to interview Alexander.
"Thank you, thank you Mr. Stern, thank you to all the players behind me, Yao, T-mac, and Chauncey, thank you for joining us, thank you to all the fans who are here."
"But what I want to thank most is coach Tang Tian, once we also hesitated, who would have thought that a 22-year-old young man could lead the team to win the championship, and who would have thought that he would be able to lead the team to defend the title when he was 23 years old?"
"But we believed, we chose to believe, and now he did, and I believe he's going to do more, he's going to bring more championships to Houston, he's going to make a Rockets dynasty."
As Alexander spoke, the cheers from the scene exploded.
The scene shot was given to Tang Tian, and Tang Tian was also a little flattered, Alexander's comment was too high.
Although he is indeed quite awesome.
At this time, the reporter naturally turned the microphone to Tang Tian.
"Coach Tang Tian, I saw you." The female reporter walked over to Tang Tian with a smile.
The scene, which had just quieted down, began to stir again.
"Don, this year's Finals are very strong opponents, and the team has changed a lot in the summer, can you tell us how to bring these people together and then beat the big opponents?" The reporter asked.
"Well, because they have a great manager." Tang Tian nodded and said.
The female reporter was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing.
The scene was also in a burst of cheers.
There's nothing wrong with this pretending.
Tang Tian also smiled, and then said solemnly: "Because we have the excellent management composed of Mr. Alexander and Mr. Morey, the excellent coaching staff composed of Tom and Steve, and the players behind me who have given everything to the team, they trust each other and will never give up, and the best Rockets fans on the scene, it takes a lot to defeat a great opponent, and I am glad that we have them all." ”
At the end of Tang Tian's speech, the scene sent him the most sincere cheers and applause.
At this time, Stern's side was already preparing to award the Finals MVP.
Bill Russell stood at the table with his hands propped up, and although he was getting older, this trophy, also known as the "Bill Russell Cup", as long as he didn't get up, he wouldn't miss it.
Everyone at the scene looked at Stern curiously, including the fans at the scene, and Tang Tian.
In last year's finals, Yao Ming's performance was very outstanding, but this year, it is not just one person who stands out.
Yao Ming: Averaged 19.7 points, 12.8 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game, shooting 53% from the field.
Maddy: Averaged 26.8 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game, shooting 49% from the field and 42% from three-point range.
Millsap: Averaged 17.6 points and 5.6 rebounds per game, shot 62% from the field, and in the last two games of the Finals, his performance was definitely MVP-level.
The Finals MVP was voted by reporters, so no one could tell who it was, just like in the previous life, when the Spurs won the championship in 07, many people thought it was Duncan, but in the end it was given to Parker.
Even in the 15 years of his previous life, when everyone thought it was Curry, the reporter finally awarded the trophy to Iguodala, who played well.
If the trophy is given to Millsap this year, the Rockets may not be able to keep this second-round pick this summer.
Stern picked up the microphone, drawing everyone's attention.
"He's been outstanding since he got into the playoffs."
With Stern's first words, everyone once again focused on Yao Ming and Maddie.
"He's been in the league for 11 years."
At this time, the fans had already begun to cheer, and Yao Ming also began to hug Maddie.
"He's been a two-time NBA scoring champion, but he's never won an FMVP, and he did it tonight, congratulations, Tracy McGrady."
When Maddie's name was pronounced, there were deafening cheers at the scene, and many fans couldn't hide their excitement and tears.
Maddy's talent is recognized by everyone in the league, better than Jordan and Kobe, but because of injuries and personality, he has not been able to play, and now he has followed this Rockets team to the top twice, and this time he got FMVP as he wished, this experience is really touching.
Maddie herself also had red circles under her eyes, hugged her teammates one by one, and was a little emotionally out of control.
The moment Bill Russell handed him the trophy, tears finally began to flow uncontrollably in his eyes.
He received a round of applause of encouragement.
"T-mac, you've been really good all of the playoffs, you deserve it, is there anything you want to say?" The reporter said and handed the microphone to Maddie.
"Thank you Yao, thank you Paul, thank you Chauncey, thank you to all my teammates, thank you to all the fans on the field, this trophy is not for one person, it is for everyone."
The scene was followed by an overwhelming cheer.
'You thanked everyone, but you seem to have ignored the manager, do you have any special words left?' The reporter said with a smile.
"Yes, the coach changed me and saved me, he knows, so I want to do something that Yao didn't do last year."
Maddie said as she walked towards Tang Tian with the microphone in one hand and the FMVP trophy in the other.
"Coach, now this trophy is yours." Maddie said as she handed the trophy to Tang Tian.
The fans at the scene paused for a moment, and then exploded directly.
“MVP! MVP! ”
The neat cheers of the scene broke through the sky.
