Chapter 267: Reaching the Peak
The Oklahoma City fans dispersed, leaving Philadelphia fans from afar and their teams to party on the land.
The NBA official staff on the scene began to prepare for the championship award ceremony.
The Thunder's players left the court gloomily, but before leaving, Durant, Westbrook and others still forcibly calmed down and stepped forward to hug Tang Wenlong one after another.
"Congratulations, you've had a great season." Durant said bitterly.
Tang Wenlong gently patted Durant's back with his backhand, and the latter's performance in this round of the series was enough to win the respect of anyone, including Tang Wenlong, who was not an opponent, and became humble and gentle: "Kevin, you are a strong opponent, I know you were selected for the U.S. team this year, and we will compete again in the Olympic Games in July." β
Speaking of the Olympics, Durant's eyes lit up, and his gloomy look dissipated slightly, by the way, he still has the Olympics to take revenge, he doesn't believe that he can't win against Tang Wenlong with the terrifying lineup of this year's Dream Ten team?
"Then I'll be waiting for you in London, at the Olympics."
Tang Wenlong smiled slightly, competitive competition is like this, although it is cruel, although the winner is king, it is always a challenge of reincarnation, no one is a winning general, and no one is always at the top.
The two of them spoke a few more words, and the exchange between the two superstars who were sympathetic to each other was captured in the broadcast footage, and the footage of this scene was precious.
Subsequently, Tang Wenlong hugged Westbrook, but Westbrook was still unconvinced.
"Next time, I'll beat you!" His eyes widened wide. The appearance is wonderful. Gu Pan always has an unspeakable fighting spirit and domineering. It was as if nothing had ever been able to knock him down.
Tang Wenlong smiled and lightly hammered his chest, "If you call out the three brothers in your sewer together, I will surrender directly." β
Westbrook didn't understand Tang Wenlong's ridicule at all, and said to himself: "Made, when I train hard in the offseason to improve myself, I will fight again next year." β
"Okay, I'll wait for you." Tang Wenlong happily responded.
After that, Ibaka and Gasol Jr. greeted and hugged. I don't know what to say on the side, Tang Wenlong saw the bearded Harden, Shi Shiran came over and hugged him, and his face was also full of bitterness and dissatisfaction.
"In this series, I was so bad by your defensive stats that maybe the Thunder won't renew my contract in the summer." Harden half-jokingly said to Tang Wenlong, at a volume that only the two of them could hear.
Tang Wenlong rolled his eyes, blame me?
Harden was so bitter that he almost didn't have a handful of tears coming out, and hugged Tang Wenlong hard. He turned around in a gloomy way, looking so desolate.
After Durant and the others finished greeting. He left the scene at a rapid pace, and for the first time in his life, he wanted to flee his home stadium so quickly.
In the players' tunnel, Durant saw his mother, who raised him alone, waiting for him there, his nose was sore, but he still couldn't hold back his tears after all, and he cried a lot.
On the contrary, in the sky of streamers and flowers, all the personnel of the 76 people smiled from ear to ear.
When the long-lost president Stern stepped onto the podium, when celebrities like Bill Russell appeared in front of him, he felt the highlight glory of the championship, and at that moment, the 76ers players in black jerseys felt as if they were plated with a layer of brilliant gold.
"You're doing a good job, young man." Bill Russell shook hands with Tang Wenlong and stood aside with a smile.
The staff then handed over the championship trophy and the individual trophy of the finals MVP. All the players of the 76ers are hot when they see the trophy, it is the O'Brien Cup, which represents the highest glory and the most valuable NBA trophy that has skyrocketed in value!
Stern took the microphone, there were about a few thousand people left in the audience, and even some of them were Thunder fans who stayed behind, on the one hand, they didn't want to go out so early and block outside, on the other hand, they also wanted to witness the Philadelphia 76ers reach the top, although it is not the team they support and love, but when the opponent has a good performance, they are also praised.
"Congratulations to the Philadelphia 76ers for winning the 2011-12 NBA Championship, they deserved to have a great year of struggle, beating countless formidable opponents."
Although the number of people was small, there was still loud applause at the scene, and the Philadelphia 76ers, who were standing behind Stern, couldn't help but be overjoyed and applauded.
"We would also like to congratulate the 2011-12 Finals MVP winnerβ"
"Tang Wenlong!"
The players of the 76ers let out a strange scream in unison, pushing Tang Wen to take a step forward, and then countless claws behind him grabbed his head and kneaded him in various ways.
Bill Russell handed Tang Wenlong the trophy representing the FMVP, which looked like the O'Brien Cup one size smaller.
Tang Wenlong stretched out his hand to take the trophy, and a trace of unconcealable heat finally flashed in his calm eyes. Bill Russell, the gray-haired but still energetic "Lord of the Rings", looked at this supernova who was nearly sixty years younger than him, as if he had seen the shadow of the god-like man in Chicago back then.
"Son, you are so good, even in my time, you will definitely succeed."
Tang Wenlong shook hands with Bill Russell, and immediately replied modestly and wittily: "If you were in our era, I don't think there would be anything to do with us." β
Bill Russell's eyebrows fluttered, and the more he smiled, the more he looked at Tang Wenlong, the more pleasing it became, "Maybe you can rule the alliance in the future, you have such potential, I am optimistic about you." β
The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, then grabbed the trophy together and posed in the best pose in front of the constantly flashing camera.
At this time, the championship trophy began to pass in the hands of everyone, and everyone touched and felt this glory that countless heroes in the league coveted.
The staff at the scene handed over the caps and T-shirts representing the championship, and everyone couldn't wait to wear the white championship T-shirt without caring about the still wet jersey.
The trophy keeps Louis Williams holding his hands high so that everyone's arms can touch the championship trophy. Tang Wenlong even touched the O'Brien Cup with one hand, and lifted the FMP trophy with the other hand, and everyone gathered in a heap, in the sky of the salute ribbons, frozen into the most joyful and happy picture.
It was a success that belonged to Philadelphia, and head coach Collins, who stood on the sidelines, couldn't help but burst into tears (to be continued. )
