Chapter 743: The Strongest Man of This Era
"Meng, congratulations!"
After the whistle blew at the end of the game, Tim Duncan, who snatched the last rebound of the game, threw away the basketball in his hand directly, and walked to the sidelines with a disappointed face, ready to give up the court to the Pacers who celebrated after winning the championship, but Tim Duncan saw Meng Xu walking towards him before he walked to the sidelines, and after hugging Meng Xu, Tim Duncan whispered congratulations in Meng Xu's ear.
"Thank you, Tim, and hopefully we'll be in the finals next season." Meng Xu's mood is very complicated now, especially after hearing the sense of loss hidden in Tim Duncan's congratulatory tone, Meng Xu's joy of winning the championship has also been diluted a lot for a while.
"Don't worry, boy, you won't have such good luck next season, wait for me to beat your head." Tim Duncan, who was obviously in a much better mood, also joked with Meng Xu, and even took advantage of Meng Xu's inattention to slap Meng Xu on his head when he was separated from Meng Xu.
"You bastard." Meng Xu, who didn't know how much hair was lost by Tim Duncan, chased after Tim Duncan who was running away with his teeth, ready to take revenge on him with a few hairs.
"Hey, Tim, you have gray hair?" After barely pulling a few short hairs from the back of Tim Duncan's head, Meng Xu found that the few hairs in his hand were mixed with two white hairs.
"What's so unusual about gray hair, I'm going to be 32 years old soon, and it's not a normal thing to grow a few gray hairs." Touching his increasingly thinning head, Tim Duncan laughed at himself for a few words, then left Meng Xu and walked towards the players' tunnel.
"Tim is 32 years old." Looking at Tim Duncan's back when he walked into the player's tunnel, Meng Xu suddenly found that Tim Duncan had unconsciously stepped down from his peak and began to enter the middle and late stages of his career.
After Tim Duncan left, Meng Xu also followed into the players' tunnel, Meng Xu wanted to go to the locker room to take a shower and change clothes, and then return to the court to participate in the championship award ceremony, but when Meng Xu's afterglow swept over the Spurs bench on the sidelines, he found Manu Ginobili leaning on the billboard on the sidelines and crying silently.
Ginobili is a love-hate player, he has saved the Spurs on the verge of defeat countless times, but he has pushed the Spurs off the cliff many times, and the brainless foul on Nowitzki in the last few seconds of the Western Conference semifinals last season directly led to the Spurs' failure to steal seven and was eliminated by the Mavericks.
At the moment, Tony Parker, who is in the same mood as Ginobili, is the Spurs' second-in-command Tony Parker, as the outside core of the Spurs' duo, Tony Parker's performance in this finals is definitely incompetent, especially in the last game, when Meng Xu changed to the No. 1 position, Tony Parker was even more sleepwalking, so after the game, Tony Parker collapsed directly on the court, stroking the floor of the bankers life center arena while hiding his face and crying.
In stark contrast to the Spurs players, the Pacers players who are still celebrating wildly on the court, especially those who won the championship for the first time, Darko Milicic, Ronnie Brewer and others, Meng Xu, Jermaine O'Neal, James Posey have all returned to the locker room to shower and change, and they are still waving towels and running around the court excitedly.
。。。。。。
"Six seasons, five Finals appearances, and five championships, this is a miracle for the world's sports leagues and the entire North American professional sports leagues, as well as the modern NBA, there is no doubt that the Indiana Pacers are the strongest in this era, and the achievements of the Indiana Pacers will also go down in the history of the entire North American sports world!"
After all the players on and off the Pacers put on special costumes to celebrate the championship and stood on the podium in the center of the court, NBA commissioner David Stern walked to the center of the podium with a smile on his face, and after making a "touching" declaration, he handed the O'Brien Cup to the Herbert and Melvin brothers behind him.
When the Simon brothers raised O'Brien in their hands, the banker's life arena, which had been prepared, after a burst of impassioned music, countless streamers and colored paper fell from the sky above the banker's life arena, and in the cheers of the fans at the scene, the picture of the Simon brothers lifting the fifth championship in the history of the Pacers became the front page headline of countless newspapers the next day.
After the O'Brien Cup award ceremony, led by David Stern, Old Man Bill Russell slowly climbed to the podium in the center of the stadium with a trophy one size smaller than the O'Brien Cup.
After Bill Russell, who was holding the Finals MVP trophy, walked onto the podium, the cheers on the scene stopped instantly, and the Pacers players who were celebrating wildly with the O'Brien Cup on the podium were all quiet.
"Meng, congratulations, congratulations on leading your team to the O'Brien Cup again, you are the most successful player of this era and one of the greatest players in the entire history of the NBA." After shaking Meng Xu's hand and congratulating him, David Stern took the initiative to give up his position and handed over the next Finals MVP award ceremony to Bill Russell.
During the entire award ceremony, David Stern always had a sincere smile on his face, for this season's finals, David Stern is really extremely satisfied, although some bad things happened in the fourth game of the finals, but the flaws are not hidden, this season's finals are definitely the most successful finals since Michael Jordan retired, whether it is the national ratings, or the number of viewers around the world, have created a record high since the establishment of the NBA league, With an average viewership of a staggering 19.3% across the six-game series, and according to some media estimates, more than 3 billion people around the world watched this season's Finals throughout the Finals period, an impressive achievement that undoubtedly shows that David Stern's NBA globalization strategy has been an unprecedented success.
"Meng, congratulations, I hope that this time next year, I can still stand here and present you with this trophy." It can also be seen from Bill Russell's words that the old man still has some expectations for Meng Xu.
"Thank you, Bill." After receiving the Finals MVP trophy from Master Bill Russell, Meng Xu held the O'Brien Cup in his arms, and held the Finals MVP trophy high with the other hand.
"He does have the capital to challenge Michael now!" When Meng Xu lifted the fifth Finals MVP trophy in his career, Reggie Miller, who was standing under the podium, also said excitedly.
