Next, Kostas began to introduce the award presenters.

Today's guest of honor is New York legend, All-Star, two-time championship ring winner, Nai Smith Basketball Hall of Famer, former New Jersey Senator, and retired No. 24 jersey owner of the Knicks, Bill Bradley.

Bill Bradley officially announced his candidacy for the 2000 presidential election in January this year, and is currently giving speeches and canvassing votes. He was very happy to be the guest of honor today, and he simply showed his face for free.

Bradley contributed to the 1986 tax reform bill, and his main political ideas included universal health care, gun control, reform of the political contribution system, and addressing the problem of poor children and caring for pregnant teenage girls.

Out of friendship, Li Wei naturally paid a sponsorship for Bill Bradley's presidential campaign and expressed his support for his campaign, and Michael Jordan and Phil Jackson and others even ran around to help Bradley get votes.

In fact, Li Wei not only sponsored Bill Bradley, but his opponent Al Gore also received Li Wei's sponsorship, and Bush and others from the other party also accepted Li Wei's money.

The great sage said that the state is a tool for the ruling class to carry out class rule, and as a capitalist state, the top level of the United States obviously has to serve the capitalists, and Li Wei is now the richest man in the United States and has the qualifications to go to the table.

Costas said: "Bill has made outstanding contributions to the Knicks' two championships in '70 and '73, and I ask Bill Bradley to present the championship trophy!" ”

Bradley picked up the trophy and handed it to Li Wei. Li Wei held this glory belonging to the Eastern Alliance high, and then the whole team raised their arms and cheered again!

"Wow, wow, wow!"

"Ahhhh

After cheers and noise, Costas began to interview Li Wei: "Coach Li, I can't believe that you actually led a team that finished eighth in the East to win the Eastern Conference championship, and you created an incredible miracle. When the final whistle blew, I saw you and Bird hugging, how did you feel? ”

Li Wei said: "It is undoubtedly very pleasant to be able to eliminate an opponent like Larry Bird, but Larry is not convinced, and we have made an appointment to fight again next year!" ”

Kostas said, "Fight again next year?" I'm looking forward to seeing you again in the playoffs next year, and it's been a fantastic seven games this year. Coach Lee, the players have a lot of respect for you now, but your journey to winning the championship was not all smooth sailing, you were only eighth in the East during the regular season, and you mentioned many times in your previous post-game interviews that the team needs to grow. So what do you think is the team's progress now from the start of the season? ”

Li Weidao: "From the beginning of the season to the present, the tactical cooperation of our whole team has been better, and the players have a deeper understanding of the game, especially some young players, from their psychological state to various skills, have greatly improved. Alain and Kevin have successfully taken on the role of team leader this year, and we are a team that is united, trusting and relying on each other.

And our team's uniforms, before the start of the Eastern Conference Finals, Chuck Daley, whom we all respected, was hospitalized, but the whole team was still together, played focused, won the series, didn't let Chuck down, and each of us was the best! ”

Costas said, "Coach Li, how far do you think this team can go?" ”

Li Weidao: "It's an honor for the team to reach the finals, frankly speaking, we are not in the best shape now, we have a lot of injuries, Lao Huo, Tracy, Rassad and others are on the injury list, in the course of the season, Buck and Herb retired due to injury, stumbling all the way, but we all persevered."

The finals are a stage to show our strength, we will try our best to win the championship, my girlfriend Weiwei, and the team's general manager Cui Rong and others are very supportive of me, I hope to win a championship and make a gift for the children who are about to be born. ”

"Congratulations, I wish you all the best!" After Kostas finished speaking, he turned to interview Garnett: "Kevin, it's your turn, you fought the Pacers for 7 games and finally won, what are you thinking at this moment?" ”

"It's been a really tough series, but we've never been afraid of toughness, we've been resilient as a team, we've stuck together and we've been on the line," Garnett said.

Coach Li told us before the game that we have made history and can continue to make history. There's nothing to be afraid of, there's nothing to be afraid of, great teams, great players take that step. We all took his word for it, tried to play, tried to enjoy it, and we succeeded! ”

Costas said: "What happened in the first quarter of today? You guys scored 40 points in a single quarter? ”

Garnett said: "Yes, we played well in the first quarter, we started with defense, and if we could defend the shot, we could grab the rebound and then play the fast break.

We know that the Pacers are a very tenacious team, and we can't win on a team like this alone, so we trust each other, share the ball, focus on the transfer of the team, and be each other's back, and that's what Coach Lee has asked us to do all year.

Allan hit a couple of key shots, drew away a lot of defence, and gave us more chances for the rest of us, Charlie, Steve, Dirk...... Each of us did a great job! ”

Costas went on to interview Alan Houston and others.

After the press conference, the major media in the United States were overwhelmed with the news that the Knicks had won the Eastern Conference championship.

Black Eight is already a miracle, and Black Eight continued to sing and advance after that, all the way to the finals, which is really a broken glass!

What's more interesting is that the grudge between the Pacers and the Knicks has not been a year or two, from the original showdown between Pat Riley and Larry Brown to the current showdown between Li Wei and Bird, it is really exciting year by year!

On the Internet, Knicks fans posted like crazy, they have been on the bar with Pacers fans since the beginning of the playoffs, and now the team has eliminated each other, it's no wonder that they are not happy!

"Walkers' grandchildren, your dad is your dad!"

"Your dad will always be your dad!"

"Your dad is your dad!"

The fans of the Pacers are speechless, the guys in New York are of low quality, and they can only say one word!

However, it was this sentence that choked them into collective speechlessness!

After all, the Pacers lost and were the eliminated side, while the Knicks won, and the winner is king!
