Chapter 401: We Are the Champions (Part II)

After coming to the locker room, as soon as he pushed the door open, Ye Feng was sprayed with a large bottle of champagne on his head and face, which is also an unwritten rule of the championship, everyone always has to go to the locker room to celebrate before the award ceremony, and spraying champagne is their way of celebrating.

Ye Feng, as the number one contributor to the team's championship, naturally enjoyed unusual treatment. In addition to being sprayed with a bottle by Matthews as soon as he entered the door, young people such as Batum, Aldridge, Mills and Cunningham also picked up champagne and sprayed it on him. Everyone knows very well in their hearts that without Ye Feng, this game will definitely not be won, and maybe even the championship will be lost, and the more champagne is sprayed on Ye Feng, the more they express their respect and love for this young leader.

After being drenched in soup, Ye Feng unscrupulously guided everyone to turn their "firepower" to the coaching staff who were watching the play on the sidelines, especially McMillan, who was the head coach. This is the second team he has coached, having been the head coach of his parent team, the Seattle SuperSonics, who led the team to six defeats in the 2005 Western Conference semifinals against the Spurs, but there was no one else on the team at the time other than Ray Allen and Lewis, and he was able to beat Popovich to the fore.

After moving to the Trail Blazers that summer, McMillan still had a bunch of high-paid and low-performance players at his disposal, and he traded these huge expiring contracts for a lot of lottery picks. Everyone knows that having a lottery lottery does not mean that you will have a star of tomorrow, and it is also difficult to pick out real money with your own fire eye, and McMillan has also done this, and you have to admire the vision of this young manager.

Roy, Aldridge, Batum, Ye Feng, Webster, Oden...... This large number of young talents are all excavated by McMillan's discernment, who originally used Webster to exchange for the Knicks' No. 6 pick, Ye Feng and last summer, who won Matthews with a 10 million contract, and achieved the Trail Blazers' championship this season. One of the 10 greatest players of Seattle SuperSonics history has finally made the roses bloom again in Portland!

After everyone made a fuss for a while, they hurriedly took a shower, changed into the champion T-shirt that had been prepared a long time ago, and laughed all the way back to the court. This is also what they have been prepared for a long time, who let them lead 3-1 before? Whether it's home or away, the team's staff will carry this big bag of T-shirts.

In the middle of the stadium, a podium has been erected, but it still looks a little shabby, after all, no team wants to see an opponent win a trophy on their own turf. After a few words of congratulations to their opponents, the Heat's players had already returned to the home team's locker room, the door locked, and even the gossip reporters couldn't get any news, God knows what they were doing in the locker room.

But it's right to think about it, although the Heat only played the second regular season record in the East this season, but if you look at the time period, their winning percentage after the All-Star Game is the first in the league, and I think it's because the Big Three have finished running-in. But just when the Miamians were full of confidence and ready to win the championship, the Trail Blazers came out of nowhere and directly shattered their championship dreams, how could the whole Heat team have a good face?

But it has nothing to do with the Trail Blazers, now they just need to enjoy the win.

League President Stern and NBA celebrity Russell jointly presented the O'Brien Cup to the Trail Blazers, stroking the gold cup in his hand, Ye Feng felt that it was really like a dream, which player in the third year could lead the team to win the championship as the core? Jordan can't do it, Kobe Bryant can't do it, well, in fact, there is Wade, but Wade has O'Neal by his side, and his most powerful comrades can only watch the awards ceremony in front of the TV.

The cold touch of O'Brien's cup told Ye Feng that this was not a dream, this was reality, an irrefutable reality. For the Trail Blazers, this period of rebuilding has turned out much more than they expected, and even though they reached the Finals last season, they can't believe they can win the championship this season.

Stern took turns shaking hands with the Trail Blazers, and when he walked in front of Ye Feng, he took a deep look at Ye Feng and said: "Congratulations, although this is not the first time I have seen Chinese players on the podium of the championship, but it is the first time I have seen Chinese players being guarded by teammates in the middle of the whole team, you have created a miracle, young man, I think your motherland will be proud of you!" ”

Ye Feng shook hands with the shrewd Jewish old man with a smile and said, "Mr. President, I don't feel that I have made a lot of contributions, these are all things that I should do as a team leader. This championship doesn't belong to me, it belongs to the whole Portland, to the whole Trail Blazers, to everyone who supports us. ”

Stern smiled, nodded, and continued to shake hands with Aldridge, who was standing beside Ye Feng. After chewing on Stern's words just now, Ye Feng remembered that he was not the first Chinese to win the championship, and Battle and Sun Yue had worn championship rings with their respective teams, of course, their status in the team was completely incomparable with themselves, and to some extent they were stronger than them.

Then Russell awarded Ye Feng the trophy of the MVP of the finals, and he deserved this trophy. Putting aside the return of the king in the fifth game of the finals, just looking at his personal data and role in the team's tactical system, it is unparalleled. He averaged a quasi-triple-double of 31.2 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 10.1 assists per game, which is also rare in NBA history, and the Finals MVP award to him is unreasonable for anyone.

For this junior, Russell is also encouraged, Ye Feng also has to admire the hard work of the old man who will be present at the championship award ceremony every year, you must know that Russell was born in 1934, and he is 77 years old this year, and he still works tirelessly to come to Miami to present the award, which is indeed quite hard. However, his status in the NBA is unique, with 11 championships unsurpassed so far, and he is the founder of the Celtics dynasty.

It's also the second championship in the history of the Trail Blazers, and it's been 34 years since their first championship in 1976-77, and the last time they won the championship was before anyone on the team was born. Queen's classic "We are the champions" resounded throughout the audience, streamers and fireworks fell from the sky, Ye Feng kissed the trophy in his hand, and this moment was completely frozen in history by the camera.
