Chapter 366: Our Basketball Emperor!

"In the second round, we met Larry Brown's team, and I told reporters before the series that I would make Brown regret it because he lost the opportunity to coach a dynasty team.

A lot of people thought I was talking big, but we swept the 76ers 4-0 and proved that we were more successful than the 76ers, and Larry Bird missed a chance to win the championship. He has an NCAA championship but no NBA title, and I hope that in the next few years, we can create a dynasty and make my words come true! ”

The fans continued to applaud.

"I know a lot of people don't think well of us, but I'm used to it. When I first came to this team, a lot of players said I was an idiot, mentally retarded, I didn't know how to play, and when I was on the team, a lot of people said I was a living white flag. ”

Li Wei said as he raised the championship trophy in front of him: "If this is a white flag, then I sincerely hope that there will be a few more!" ”

The fans screamed in unison!

Walter Fraser said: "When David's daughter called David emperor, I also heard many people say that he was a tyrant and a faint king, but today, I think we can call out that title together, and everyone will come together-"

Countless fans shouted in unison: "Basketball Emperor! Basketball Emperor! Basketball Emperor! ”

Li Wei raised his hands high and enjoyed the cheers of the fans!

After a while, he continued: "In the Eastern Conference Finals, we met Larry Bird. ”

Speaking of this, he turned to look at Garnett: "Kevin, I still can't forget what Bird said during the interview. He says you're never going to be the next Bird. That's right, you don't need to be the next Bird, Bird only has three championship rings, we'll take six, you already have one, promise me, get five more! ”

"Good!" Garnett laughed and nodded.

Fraser said: "David is really good, inviting Larry Bird, Bird is not coming, inviting Larry Brown, Brown is not coming, he has to take on the responsibility of the team manager himself.

The fans didn't understand, they scolded him, they insulted him, and when I was commentating on the Knicks game two years ago, I even saw drinks thrown at him, mineral water, and said he ruined New York.

But this guy who was thought to have ruined New York brought the NBA championship for the city after a 26-year absence!

He beat Bird and Brown all the way to win the championship, and beat Bird and Brown with swollen faces! And our former coach in New York, Pat Riley, was eliminated in the first round!

I know a lot of fans are still missing Riley, and now I'm going to say, don't think about Riley anymore, Riley can't win the championship, but Coach Lee can! We've found our champion coach! ”

Countless fans continued to shout: "Basketball Emperor! Basketball Emperor! Basketball Emperor! ”

"Hahaha!" Fraser laughed, and so did Li Wei.

Next, Li Wei began to evaluate the players one by one, telling some small stories during training to everyone, and the fans kept applauding and applauding him!

After the manager's speech, it was the players' turn.

The three presenters interviewed the three people who failed to make the team's playoff squad.

Rashad Lewis said he was not able to play a role in the team's championship and that he will be working hard to make the team's playoff roster next season.

Jeff Hornacek is very happy, the championship is every player's dream, he has been adrift for half his life, and finally realized his dream in New York, which is really gratifying.

Maddie said that it is not enough for the team to win one championship now, and next season, he hopes that he can improve with the team and win more championships!

Then there were Nesterovich and others who were interviewed.

When it was Yao's turn, Mike Brin said: "Yao, from today you can say that you are the starting center of the championship team, how do you feel?" ”

Da Yao smiled: "My impression is, let's come a few more times!" ”

The penultimate player on the field was Kevin Garnett, and the last was Alan Houston.

Generally speaking, it is the big boss of the team who comes on the stage. Although Garnett is becoming more and more important to the team, Houston came to New York relatively early, has more seniority, is older, and is still the team's leading scorer, so he is still the highest status in the team.

Chuck Daley and Byron Scott and others have already twisted this team into a rope, so Garnett doesn't have the idea of competing with Houston for the boss, just like in his previous life with the Celtics, he didn't compete with Pierce for the boss.

The current Knicks, the big boss is Houston, and the atmosphere in the team is still harmonious.

At the end of the grand celebration, the whole team took pictures around the championship trophy, and Li Wei was squeezed into the middle by everyone again, with Garnett on the left and Houston on the right, and everyone laughed happily.

The day after the victory celebration, Chuck Daly came to Li Wei's office.

"What, you want to resign?" Li Wei was a little surprised.

Back then, he asked Chuck Daley to come out of the mountain and sign a three-year contract, and now only two years have passed, and Daley wants to resign.

"I can't hold my body anymore, I want to retire early, and I have already taught you everything I can teach you, and I can only help if I continue to stay in the team."

"Chuck!" Li Wei shook the other party's hand.

In the field of basketball, Chuck Daley said to him that he is also a teacher and a friend, and he is really reluctant to separate at this moment!

Without this peerless coach who unites everyone, the Knicks, even those talented young people, may not be able to perform!

After thinking for a while, Li Wei said: "In this way, you don't have to resign, and you will receive your salary for the last year as usual, but you will be transferred to vice president in the team." I don't need you to do anything, just come and see it from time to time when you have time! ”

Chuck Daly smiled: "David, I don't do any work, so I get so much salary, how embarrassing is that!" ”

Li Weidao: "This is what you deserve, without you, the Knicks are probably still a mess now, let alone a championship." I hope you will always be a part of the team and wear more championship rings! ”

Chuck Daley refused, but finally accepted Li Wei's kindness.

The Knicks soon held a press conference to announce that the team's head assistant coach had been promoted to vice president of the team, along with KC Jones. In fact, he went to retire and basically didn't care.

Another thing was also announced at the press conference, that is, Byron Scott, the interim head assistant coach during the playoffs, was officially promoted to head assistant coach, and he continued to serve as a defensive assistant coach, which he knows well anyway.

"Mr. Scott, will it be stressful for you to succeed Mr. Daley as the head assistant coach of this championship team?"

Byron Scott smiled and said, "It's not big, it's not big at all, we have the basketball emperor, I just need to be a loyal courtier to follow." ”

"Hahaha!" The reporters chuckled.

Byron Scott said: "The Knicks are very similar to the Lakers I was on back then, David and Chuck have laid a good foundation, all we have to do is continue to win championships!" ”
