At the same time, the live camera showed the two presidents. Stu Jackson stood up and applauded with a smile on his face.
The bald man also smiled, but he kept sitting in his seat and did not get up. No one knew what he was thinking.
But just like the trophy award ceremony after the tiebreaker of last season's finals, the championship ring is now there waiting for him to be awarded. No matter whether he wants it or not, or what his mood is, he has to give it out.
[A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old version of the source-changing app, huanyuanapp, that is used by all chasing bugs.]
When Smith finished the warm-up and announced the start of the championship ring awarding ceremony, the lights and cameras were focused on the ring in the center of the stage.
The main body of the ring is made of platinum, with the player's jersey number at the top. The number is surrounded by 75 pink diamonds, representing the Blazers' record-breaking 75 wins last season!
The players' names are engraved on both sides of the ring. There are two words 4-0 and two 4-3 below the name, which represents the Trail Blazers' big score in the four rounds of the playoffs last season. They overcame many difficulties and succeeded.
Climb to the top.
This ring is full of honor and history. It is sparkling and not only composed of a large amount of platinum and diamonds, but each ring is unique.
According to pre-game news, the cost of such an exclusive ring is as high as 460,000 yuan, which corresponds to the 46-year history of the Portland Trail Blazers since its establishment!
In RMB equivalent, it is about 3.1 million.
The Blazers' dynasty ring also cost the team's top management a lot of money.
Of course, not everyone receives a ring with their own name.
Only players who have played and contributed in the finals can have exclusive rings. This is an established rule.
The championship rings began to be awarded at the scene. You must have failed to name one person, and that person went on stage to receive his or her ring.
First the team management, then the coaching staff, and finally the players.
Just like in the past two championships, Wang Zelin is still the first player to appear, demonstrating his absolute core boss status within this team.
When his name was shouted out by Smith in a prolonged tone, the entire Rose Garden Arena went into extreme madness.
"mVp! mVp! mVp..."
A tsunami-like shout drowned everything.
Wang Zelin walked up to Bald Hua and looked at the other man's smiling face, feeling inexplicably comfortable in his heart.
"congratulations!"
Bald Hua brought the ring to Wang Zelin and congratulated her in a fake way.
"Um!"
But Wang Zelin was too lazy to be polite and just responded coldly.
Um?
Bald Hua was stunned for a moment, but Wang Zelin had already turned around and walked away with the ring, without even hugging him!
What does this Asian old mean?
Don’t you even know how to say the simplest thank you?
If he had known earlier, he would not have attended...
However, what even Bald Hua didn’t expect was that after Wang Zelin, Aldridge, Lillard, Batum and even second-year rookie Harrell who played in suits in suits, the entire Trail Blazers team got rings.
I didn't hug him after that.
No, don't say a hug, not even a thank you.
The refereeing issue in last year's finals was quite unpleasant. They were making a silent protest!
There were also bursts of cheers at the scene.
Bald Hua still kept a smile on his face, but it could be clearly felt that it was forced out.
The dignified president of the alliance was miserably treated coldly on such an important day. You don't have to wonder what kind of huge sensation will break out in the outside world after tonight.
In the opening game of the new season, the Trail Blazers gave him a showdown!
After the rings were awarded, Wang Zelin and his teammates put them on their fingers and posed in front of the camera, with happy smiles on their faces.
The championship trophy belongs to the team, but the ring belongs to them personally and is proof of the championship!
After the championship ring awarding ceremony, everyone at the scene stood up at Smith's signal and faced one side of the arena.
There, there was a flag covered with black cloth.
Accompanied by live music, the black cloth was pulled apart little by little, revealing the words inside.
Above it is the Blazers flag, below it is the words 2015~2016, and at the bottom is the NBA championship logo.
The fourth championship banner in the history of the Trail Blazers!
It is also a great banner symbolizing the birth of another three consecutive championship dynasty after the oK Lakers dynasty at the beginning of the century!
The scene was filled with cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami. This was a glorious moment for all of them!
The Trail Blazers players also raised the rings in their hands. This was also their moment of glory!
On the other side of the half, the entire Cavaliers once again expressed their envy and hatred in real names. Most of them had not tasted the taste of a championship.
After the championship awarding ceremony, the scene immediately entered the opening session.
Players from both teams were also introduced one after another.
The Cavaliers' top five tonight: Irving, JR, James, TT and Cousins.
This is their regular lineup from last season.
For the Trail Blazers, the starting five are Lillard, Barton, Batum, Jokic and Wang Zelin.
After the opening ceremony, both sides came on stage one after another, with Wang Zelin and Cousins jumping the ball in the center circle.
Wang Zelin and Cousins stood opposite each other, concentrating on each other.
The ball is thrown up, reaches the highest point, and begins to fall.
It's now!
Wang Zelin jumped up instantly.
"So fast!"
At this moment, whether at the scene or in front of the TV, the professionals staring at Wang Zelin couldn't help but sigh again.
Hey, wait, why are they saying again?
The Cavaliers had already anticipated this. Except for one person who stepped forward to intercept Wang Zelin, the rest of the Cavaliers retreated to defense.
But the person who intercepted Wang Zelin was not center Cousins, but power forward TT.
Next to him, Tyronn Lue was very excited and looking forward to it.
This has been his focus throughout the offseason, and he hopes TT will not let him down.
Wang Zelin felt a powerful force from TT. This force was powerful enough to compete with most of the league's insiders, who were trying to prevent him from entering the paint area.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This guy gained weight during the summer?!
This idea flashed through Wang Zelin's mind instantly.
"Oh, the Cavaliers switched defense?" Barkley shouted in surprise.
At this time, Patton received a pass from Lillard, jumped up from the right three-point line, and shot a three-pointer.
But at this time, James leaped forward and jumped to block the shot.
duang～
Due to James' interference, the ball missed.
Cousins had already returned to the basket and successfully grabbed the rebound.
Wang Zelin began to retreat.
In his first contact with TT, he felt the strength and fearless confrontational attitude.
"Does Tyronn Lue want to arrange a human shield in the penalty area to stalk him?"
In the Cavaliers' offensive round, TT got involved with Wang Zelin again.
He does not have any offensive tasks or defensive tasks. Tragging Wang Zelin is his only task in this game.
With Irving holding the ball in the frontcourt, Cousins and JR cooperated in a pick-and-roll with or without the ball in the high post on the right side. JR used Cousins' pick-and-roll to run a three-pointer.
Cousins' pick-and-roll was of high quality, successfully blocking Button and Irving's pass. JR caught the ball and shot directly.
At this time, Wang Zelin was entangled by TT and was unable to respond immediately to defend.
"Whoosh!"
With a crisp sound, JR's first three-pointer hit the net.
The Cavaliers took the lead, causing excitement in the crowd.
"The Cavaliers seemed to have arranged a pairing strategy tonight. TT successfully entangled Wang on the defensive end in this round, allowing the team to successfully score a tactical goal. We all know that Wang is also an extremely terrifying player on the defensive end.
Exists!" Buckley shouted excitedly.
During the transition between offense and defense, Lillard advanced to the frontcourt and gave the ball to Wang Zelin. Wang Zelin called for Jokic to pick and roll in the high post. At the moment of the pick and roll, he directly went to the right to break through.
He started to accelerate crazily, and then accelerated again!
Tyronn Lue always stared at the distance between Wang Zelin and TT, and soon discovered that the distance between the two began to widen.
"Why? Why is this guy so fast? This is unscientific!"
He shook his head in disappointment. After gaining weight, he could barely hold Wang Zelin, but he also sacrificed his own mobility, and his speed was far worse than Wang Zelin.
Cousins quickly shrank to the basket to block the shot, but still underestimated Wang Zelin's speed. As soon as he reached the basket, he found that Wang Zelin had already taken off.
"boom!"
An extremely cruel dunk from behind, and as the basket collapsed, the violent explosion of the basket caused the Rose Garden to boil.
“Oh ho!
Cousins, who was forced out of the baseline by Wang Zelin's crazy impact, had to take two breaths. That kind of desperate charge put great psychological pressure on the Cavaliers players.
"tt! tt! Keep up with him, this is your mission, don't be left behind by him again!" Director Lu shouted sharply at Titi on the court.
He had the best idea, but in terms of speed, agility, reaction, explosive power... his overall quality was far inferior to his own. After this initial battle of offense and defense, Wang Zelin did not think that TT could limit himself.
Everything is just Tyronn Lue’s imagination.
2:3, the Trail Blazers are still one point behind.
Offense and defense transition, Cavaliers attack.
Wang Zelin approached Cousins, and tt entangled him again.
At this time, Cousins took advantage of Wang Zelin being entangled and suddenly cut to the basket.
But how powerful is the instantaneous explosive power of Wang Zelin's body?
The first time he exerted force, he directly knocked TT away, causing the latter to take several steps back.
After turning around, he used another force and pounced on Cousins who had just started.
When TT reacted, he was already half a beat too late. By the time he took the first step, he was already a full beat too slow.
Cousins rushed to the basket, and James' pass came in. He caught the ball and dunked hard with both hands.
"Snapped!"
A big hand caught up from behind and whipped the ball high into the air.
"What?"
Cousins, who was chased, was extremely surprised.
"Yes!"
In the Rose Garden, the audience cheered and countless palms began to shake.
tt was thrown away by Wang Zelin. He slowly turned around and chased after him. As soon as he rushed into the paint area, he saw Wang Zelin blocking Cousins. Then when he just rushed to Wang Zelin, he saw that Wang Zelin had jumped up.
Caught the ball in the air.
He didn't hesitate and immediately got involved, trying to prevent Wang Zelin from turning around and playing fast break or passing the ball.
But at this moment, Wang Zelin suddenly turned to the left, and using the force of rotation, his left hand swept hard on TT's chest.
Even with his strong physique after gaining weight, he couldn't help but tremble all over, as if being beaten with an iron rod, and his teeth were clenched.
Taking advantage of TT's body being stiffened by an elbow, Wang Zelin quickly took the first step and started a fast break with the ball.
He did not pass the ball out first because he would be entangled by James and Cousins and unable to move quickly, so he chose to take action himself.
When he rushed out of the free throw line, his speed had already increased. Then he threw it with one hand and gave the ball to Batum, who was at the front with his hand open to ask for it, and then began to accelerate to keep up.
James and Cousins chased desperately on both sides. The former caught up with Batum, but the latter broke his legs and was unable to get closer to Wang Zelin.
Moreover, Batum's point is just a bait, the real ending point is Wang Zelin who follows closely behind.
Batum took the lead to get to the basket. After being caught up by James, he glanced back slowly and slammed the ball against the backboard...
"boom!"
Wang Zelin took off to catch the ball and directly completed an alley-oop dunk.
4:3, the Trail Blazers took the lead.
"As of now, the king is still the king!" Kenny Smith laughed.
"If TT is Lu's secret weapon specifically used to deal with Wang, then judging from these two rounds, the power of this secret weapon is obviously far from enough."
Buckley had a smile on his face and joked.
Kenny Smith continued: "The physical fitness between the two is too different. What's the use of strength alone? Turning, lateral movement, first-step acceleration, defensive skills... Wang is no match for him in all aspects."
"The occasional position can keep up with the king temporarily, but once a fast break counterattack occurs, TT is not only useless, but also becomes a shortcoming of the Cavaliers' lineup because his speed is too slow."
Barkley added another shot.
In the commentary box at the imperial court, Zhang Lijia laughed and said: "Wang has now seen through TT's defensive characteristics. In fact, it is obviously unrealistic to use this point to choke Zelin."
Wang Zelin returned to the offensive end and encountered TT's entanglement again.
He stood at the waistline on the right side of the paint area, looked at Irving who was about to move on the outside on the left, and shouted to Jokic: "Go and double-team the ball holder, and leave the penalty area to me."
After feeling that the strength of the Cavaliers in the new season has not changed much, he is not going to play anymore. He is going to fight two against two and let the Cavaliers see it and let Tyronn Lue know that such a "secret weapon" is extremely ridiculous.
It's not that easy to deal with him.
JR ran continuously on the left side, trying to get out of the way.
But when he met Patton, who was ruthless and quiet, it was not easy for him to catch the ball.
At this time, Lillard and Jokic had already formed a double-team on Irving at the top of the arc.
James wanted to come over to respond, but as soon as Irving released the ball, Wang Zelin successfully intercepted it.
After stealing the ball, he immediately turned around and got off the ball.
At this time, TT, who was catching up, wanted to entangle Wang Zelin, but the latter ducked away. When he turned around to catch up again, he was already one step behind.
Wang Zelin directly passed the ball to Jokic, and Jokic quickly passed the second ball to Lillard at the front.
"boom!"
Lillard caught the ball and took off with one step, and succeeded in a one-arm dunk.
After continuous defense and fast break, the score of the two sides reached 6:3, with the Trail Blazers leading by 3 points.
