Chapter 661: A Legend

NBA's new commissioner Adam. Xiao Hua and "The Lord of the Rings" Bill. Russell and the two were already waiting on the makeshift podium. The glittering O'Brien Cup stood on the stage, waiting for the Mavericks players to carry it away.

Confetti fell into the sky and the Mavericks stepped onto the podium one by one to the boos of the Heat fans.

Most of them are in this position for the first time. Tony. Aaron even took out his phone and kept taking selfies, he was afraid that it was all a dream, so he tried to keep everything.

Yiyang was squeezed to the front of the podium under the support of everyone. This year, even Dirk has to stand by Yiyang's side and act as his "bodyguard".

The Heat have dominated the podium for two years, and now, two years later, the O'Brien Cup has finally changed hands!

"First of all," Adam. Xiao Hua began to speak into the microphone, but the boos of the fans in the stadium quickly drowned out his voice. The live tuner had to increase the volume of the microphone, and winning the away championship was a problem.

"First of all, we have to thank the Miami Heat players. Without them, we wouldn't have been able to enjoy such a great grand final. After Xiao Hua said this, his smile was a little stiff. 4-0, which is really not a "wonderful" score.

At the scene, the fans of the Heat still didn't buy it. And in Dallas, fireworks have already been set off. The Mavericks' award ceremony is being broadcast live on a big screen outside the arena at the American Route Center. Outside the arena, a dense crowd of Mavericks fans gathered, shouting and cheering wildly, as if they were really there.

Then, Xiao Hua changed the topic and smiled at Cuban. "Of course, we have to thank this great boss. His contribution to the Mavericks, to the league, is unparalleled. ”

As he said this, the Mavericks players on the stage let out a shout, jumping and jumping. Since no one is cheering for us, let's cheer for ourselves!

Indeed, Kuban is indeed a boss who has won the hearts of the people. Not to mention the players, he is very kind to even the ordinary staff under his opponents.

Even the cleaners who specialize in cleaning the Mavericks' locker rooms have children sick at home, and Cuban personally visits the hospital. Compared to these little things, private jets and anything are not a thing.

He barely misses every game of the Mavericks, and in the stands, he cheers, frustrates, jumps, and curses with the regular fans. Just looking at him like that, he doesn't look like a boss at all.

“..... Finally, let's congratulate the Dallas Mavericks on becoming the new World Champions! Xiao Hua picked up the O'Brien Cup and handed it to Cuban beside him. Now, the O'Brien Cup is yours! ”

Then, as three years ago, Cuban, as the owner of the team, was not the first to take on the championship trophy.

He took a step back, then looked at Yiyang and made a "please" gesture.

"This honor belongs to you, too!"

Yiyang, who was draped in the Chinese flag on his jersey, did not be polite to Kuban, he took a step forward and talked to Adam. After Xiao Hua nodded, he took the heavy O'Brien Cup!

It's been three years, and now, you're finally back with me!

The cold base of the trophy made Yiyang feel as if he was electrocuted, and he almost dropped the trophy on the ground with a weak hand.

Then Yiyang took a deep breath, then lowered the trophy slightly, and then raised it high above his head!

This yellow-skinned defender number one represents all the players behind him, standing on top of the world!

At this moment, countless blue ribbons floated down from the roof of the stadium, creating an extremely dreamy atmosphere on the scene!

At the same time, Queen's classic "We Are the Champions" sounded in the Heat's American Airlines Center, and the Heat players in the locker room at this time must have felt very uncomfortable.

On their home turf, this song of honor was played for their opponents.

In the song of "We are the champions, we are the kings of the world", the Mavericks players rushed up, all huddled around Yiyang, and reached out to touch the gold cup held high by Yiyang.

Yiyang raised his head, under the colorful ribbons, the trophy that shone with golden light was extraordinarily beautiful!

Subsequently, Yiyang passed the trophy to Dirk, everyone, even Devin, who didn't get much chance to play. Harris was given the right to lift the O'Brien Cup in front of all the reporters in the audience.

On other teams, a role player, or "water cooler manager" on the edge of the bench, would never have this privilege unless he is a respected veteran.

But that's what sets the Mavericks apart, and the atmosphere in the team is sure to be too good in any season they win the championship! We are not only colleagues and teammates, but also true friends, equal friends!

Why can Yiyang lead the team to victory with passing? Why would basketball get into the hands of a guy like Carter at a critical moment? Why are the Mavericks always so subtle in their coordination? Because they trust each other and like each other. They work towards one goal, and there is never disagreement.

On the other hand, the Heat, even the Big Three, their strength has long been gone.

After the players were celebrating wildly, Xiao Hua picked up the microphone again and began to speak. Anyway, he walked up to the Kuban and asked Jean a question that was not very common.

"Mark, what's the secret to your team's success!?"

Cuban didn't hesitate and looked at the group of players behind him wearing championship commemorative T-shirts. "They are the secret of my success, we have the best basketball in the world, the smartest coaching team and the most adorable fans in the world!"

Cuban said three "most" in one breath, and it seemed that he was extremely proud. The guys he was talking about weren't ordinary employees, nor were they his Cuban money-making tools. For this owner, every player, every coach and every worker under the Mavericks is a partner who builds his dreams together!

Riley watched live TV in his office, his eyes frighteningly cold. He and Kuban are really like fire, the other like ice!

When Cuban was already thinking about renewing Carter's contract at what price, Riley, a "god operator", even had some terrible thoughts......

In his opinion, no player is for sale, not even a veteran who has done his best for the Heat.

After Cuban answered the question, the award ceremony also entered the second climax. The MVP of the finals is about to be revealed!

Although during the finals, he also experienced injuries, and the last two games did not score more than 20. But even so, no one thinks that any other player can compete with him.

If it weren't for the exchange between him and James in the first game, if it wasn't for the miracle of Yiyang in the last three minutes of the second game, and if it wasn't for the third game breaking the record of "Magic" Johnson and leading the team to victory, the Mavericks would not have won so easily in the fourth game and finally reached the top.

Yiyang's greatness in this series is unmatched, even Dirk, who can cut 20+8 per game.

This is Adam. Xiao Hua participated in the championship award ceremony for the first time since taking office, and his simple and clear style has also been greatly promoted.

If it's David. Stern presents the award, and he will certainly release another speech before the results are announced, and then announce the results when the fans are bored and want to turn the stage.

But Xiao Hua didn't do this, and after picking up the microphone, he only said two words before ending his speech.

"Yiyang." Xiao Hua directly announced the results, and did not whet the appetite of the fans.

After Xiao Hua finished speaking, "Lord of the Rings" Bill. Russell handed the Finals MVP trophy to Yiyang!

The moment he heard his name, Yiyang's whole body was numb, and his scalp exploded! Then, the teammates' hands reached out to Yiyang's head, and dozens of big hands kept touching Yiyang's head.

"Well done, stinky boy!"

"Go, why are you still stunned!?"

"All-Star Game MVP, regular season MVP, and now Finals MVP! God, how could I have a brutal teammate like you! ”

Under the frolicking of his teammates, Yiyang walked in front of Russell with a slightly trembling body.

Yiyang stared at the "ancient giant" in front of him, and a wave of respect arose spontaneously from the bottom of his heart.

"Congratulations, little friend." Bill. In order to relieve Yiyang's pressure, Russell also made a little joke with him.

Yiyang, who is 1.92 meters tall, is indeed like a child in front of the 2.08-meter-tall "Lord of the Rings", and Yiyang, who is not good at talking, doesn't know how to respond to this celebrity, so he just stands dumbfounded.

Russell didn't embarrass Yiyang either, and seeing that he couldn't speak, he directly handed the FMVP trophy to Yiyang!

Yiyang became the first Chinese to lift the FMVP trophy on the finals stage!

"Let's congratulate him! This is the case since 2000 when Shaquille. Since O'Neal, the first player in the NBA to win all three MVP trophies in a single season! And he became the fourth player in NBA history to do this! As we said before, we are getting closer to those great legends! ”

"Can't believe that even Michael. Jordan can't win three MVP trophies at such an age! I can't imagine what will become of my dominance in the future!? ”

Commentary on the game by Mike. Brin and Kevin. Harlan has been deeply impressed by Yiyang's achievements, and in this series, they have witnessed Yiyang set great records one after another. The scariest thing is that this guy is not yet 24 years old! Even if it's so strong today, he still has room to rise.

"Congratulations, too. Three years ago, Dirk was the MVP on the Finals stage. Now, three years later, you've taken over the baton perfectly. In case you don't know, you're also the first player in NBA history to go from being the best sixth man to the MVP! Your success, your story is already a legend. So, is there anything you'd like to say to the fans about your experience? On stage, the host finally focused on Yiyang.

"Basketball is a sport for you, but for me, it's air. If I want to survive, I must live without air! I am thankful for basketball, which changed the course of my life. Believe in what you're passionate about and put into it. In the end, you're sure to be rewarded! It is rare for Yiyang to say so many things at one time in public, but every word he said just now was from the bottom of his heart.

Far away in Boston, a man stared at the TV and watched Yiyang's speech after winning the FMVP trophy.

He suddenly covered his face, but tears still flowed from the gap in his palm. You've made it kid, you're really ...... It really worked!

"Brad, what's wrong with you?" The hostess noticed her husband's strange appearance and stepped forward to inquire with concern.

"I just...... I'm just happy for him...... From a street gangster who no one cares about to a generation of legends," Stevens choked up again. "How many people know what he has experienced......

Stevens cried and laughed, and he lost his temper in the face of the success of his most proud student.

The Celtics coach closed his eyes, but the scene of his first meeting with Yiyang came to mind.

The tall, lanky boy from Wood looked at the empty basketball court at Butler University with defiant eyes: "Who am I playing with today?" ”

"No one fights you today, you have to fight yourself!" Stevens went up and patted Yiyang's shoulder, which was much stronger than he expected.

And so, the legend began......
