Chapter 780: Double Happiness Comes to the Door
16-1, with a winning rate of 94.12%, the highest in NBA history! The Dallas Mavericks have become a team like never before, and they have crushed the entire league from the regular season to the playoffs in a way that no other team has ever done.
On the temporary podium of the Quick Loan Center, Yiyang happily received his third O'Brien Cup. And this is also the second consecutive year that the Dallas Mavericks have won the championship trophy.
Two consecutive championships, although this achievement is not as great as the dynasty of three consecutive championships. But in the NBA league, there are only a handful of teams that can win consecutive championships.
A team as strong as the Celtics' Big Three, despite its reputation, has only won the championship once.
Yiyang lifted the O'Brien Cup above his head, heralding the official arrival of his time. This is Yiyang's first consecutive championship, but everyone believes that this will not be the last.
LeBron. James watched the entire championship ceremony through the television in the locker room. Last season, when he decided to leave for Miami, LeBron thought he would be on the podium this year.
But it backfired, and the Mavericks' strength was hard to shake. Even if he reunited, it didn't change James's decline in this matchup.
Wade took the O'Brien Cup from Yiyang's hand and smiled happily. Last season, he lost the championship trophy because of the Mavericks. This season, he also regained the top honor because of the Mavericks.
Dwayne. Wade, like Yiyang, already has 3 O'Brien Cups. James is behind again, and he always seems to be one step behind Wade......
After Wade, it was Dirk, who also lifted the trophy for the third time, to lift the O'Brien Cup above his head. After winning the title in 2011, Dirk felt lucky enough. As an international player, being able to lead the team to win the championship in the NBA in this life, to be able to get rid of the title of "soft egg", and to make his historical status a big step, these have made Dirk extremely satisfied at that time!
But now? He has two more championship trophies and two championship rings! The arrival of Yiyang changed the fate of the Dallas Mavericks.
After that, it was Yiyang's college teammate Sherwin. The BA championship trophy, in the past, this was an honor that he could not have imagined! Being able to eat in the NBA was everything Mark had longed for. After being cut midway through the season, Mark even thought he would spend the rest of his career in the Development League.
But now, he stood on the podium and lifted the Gold Cup, which represents the highest honor in the basketball world.
After the championship is awarded, it is time for FMVP to award the awards. In this year's finals, Iguodala performed very well. James' indefatigable defense is one of the main reasons why the Mavericks were able to sweep the opponent 4-0.
But in the face of an award like FMVP, even Iguodala can't compete with Yiyang. 43 seconds and 16 minutes, with this alone, Yiyang is qualified to become one of the FMVPs with the highest gold content in NBA history!
"Boy, I didn't expect that I would present this trophy to you for the second year in a row." Bill. When Russell presented the award, he made a little joke with Yiyang as always.
"I'll be back next year!" Yiyang bent down slightly and received the second FMVP trophy of his career with both hands.
Since the advent of the FMVP award, only 5 players have been able to make it back-to-back. The names of these five people are all thunderous, and they are all absolute superstars. Michael. Jordan, Hakim. Olajuwon, Shaquille. O'Neal, Kobe. Bryant and James in previous years. Now, Yiyang's name is also prominently listed.
In the past, people said that Yiyang was close to legend. But at this moment, he has joined the list of legends!
"No international player has ever achieved so much on the NBA stage, and the Mavericks have won two in a row! But Yi's legendary career has just begun! ”
The O'Brien Cup on the left hand and the Most Valuable Player Award on the right hand of the Finals. Yiyang and his teammates stood on the podium, and the reporters filmed wildly.
74 wins, 16 wins and 1 loss, 4-0 sweep in the finals, 43 seconds and 16 minutes...... The championship team in the 14-15 season will be regarded as a classic by future generations, just like the Chicago Bulls of that year, and will never be forgotten.

After the awards, as is customary, the players engaged in a fierce champagne battle in the dressing room. After the champagne wars, there was another nightclub. When Yiyang woke up the next day, he didn't feel anything other than a splitting headache.
The rest of the Mavericks are similar to Yiyang, Marion wakes up to find that his pants are missing, and God knows how he got back to the hotel yesterday.
Despite this, the Mavericks players couldn't wait to get on the plane back to Dallas at noon. The Mavericks players know that right now, all of Dallas is waiting for them to bring home the O'Brien Cup.
Like last year, Yiyang is still the finale. As soon as he appeared, holding a championship trophy and an FMVP trophy, a wave of sound slammed in, almost knocking Yiyang directly to the ground!
This year, the team that came to welcome the Mavericks players home has grown. Yiyang stood on the gangway and looked at it, the black pressure was full of human heads! Maybe half of Dallas is here!
After getting off the plane, even the mayor of Dallas personally greeted him and shook hands with the Mavericks players.
"Tonight, I'm going to have a great celebration dinner for you at the town hall! Ladies and gentlemen, please be sure to participate in the event! "It can be seen that the mayor is respectful to the Mavericks players.
Although Dallas is not like Cleveland, there is no doubt that in the past two years, because of the international factor of Dallas Mavericks and Yiyang, Dallas' economy has also grown by leaps and bounds by relying on the sports industry!
The Mavericks bring more than just accolades to the city of Dallas, but real gains! Dallas' tourism industry has seen its profits soar in recent years, with more and more Chinese tourists appearing on the streets of Dallas. On days when there are Mavericks games, places like restaurants and business districts are mostly overcrowded, and most of them aren't Dallas natives at all!
No one slacks off on a cash cow, not even the mayor. The Mavericks have done so much for the city, and the mayor feels that his little dinner is not enough to worry about!
Under the mayor's arrangement, the Mavericks players drove slowly on the streets of Dallas, which were empty by 10,000 people. Today's situation makes Cuban even a little afraid to imagine what the championship parade will look like in a few days.
In the end, the Mavericks arrived at the U.S. Route Center arena, where they really got a taste of what it's like to be heroes.
Around you, there are tens of thousands of people looking at you with admiring eyes! Most of them will even name their unborn children after these heroes!
Yiyang's cheers were undoubtedly the loudest, and everyone, young and old, was willing to scream for Yiyang.
After more than half an hour of crowding, with the help of the Dallas police, the players finally stepped into the arena.
Everything was the same as last year, and Cuban asked Yiyang to put the O'Brien Cup into the small showroom. Yiyang still remembers that when he first joined the team, Cuban took him to visit, and the room was still empty, except for a Western Conference championship trophy, there was nothing to see.
But now, it's richly furnished. Every Mavericks' memorable photos and great moments are hung on the wall. The picture of Yiyang completing the moment of the hanging arm dunk when he participated in the slam dunk contest was also enlarged by Cuban in the center! Of course, the most eye-catching thing in this room is the three golden O'Brien Cups!
"What did I say last year? Sooner or later, this little room will need to be expanded! Cuban smiled and looked at his players and coaches, and when Cuban said that last season, he was actually just joking.
But now, it's clear to everyone. Three consecutive championships, in fact, they are really not far away!
After the O'Brien Cup was placed, the Mavericks announced their disbandment on the spot. From today, the players don't have to train, they don't have to play, they don't have to go to any damn press conferences. After a year of fierce fighting, they had another pleasant holiday.
After the team disbanded, Yiyang couldn't wait to drive home, he hadn't seen his wife and mother for several days, and he missed it very much.
But today, when he returned home as usual, Yiyang didn't see Vignali greet him at the door of his house. Yiyang, who was a little uneasy in his heart, went directly to the kitchen, but he didn't see Vignary's figure. Just when he felt strange, Vignary, who heard the movement, walked down the stairs with a complicated expression. As those words approached, Vignari found herself nervous.
"Mom, don't cook tonight. Let's go out to eat and celebrate! ”
"Yes, Mom! The mayor invites us to a celebration dinner tonight, so come along! Vig, what's wrong with you? Looks worried. Yiyang could tell at a glance that Vignali had something in mind, after all, the two knew each other too well.
"I ...... Belch...... You're going to be a dad, too! Vignali lowered her head, blushing slightly.
This sentence is like a bolt from the blue, as if time has stood still.
Wen Xue's eyes widened, and the plate in her hand shattered to the ground. And what about Yiyang? He pounced on Irving as he did on the basketball court for the ball on that final shot, and hugged his wife tightly into his arms!
"Tap, don't bump into the kid." Vignari smiled happily, while Wen Xue on the sofa had rosy eyes.
Did you see that? Old man. This originally shattered home is finally about to become whole.
