Chapter 693 The most embarrassing championship award ceremony in history
"It's over! It's over! The season is completely over! Let us congratulate the Portland Trail Blazers. They have overcome all obstacles and are invincible in the ups and downs of the playoffs!"
"Especially in the finals, they won the O'Brien Cup, which represents the highest honor, with 4:1 absolute strength! They successfully defended their title! They are the championship!"
"This is their third championship trophy in team history, but everyone knows that this is just a new beginning..."
Zhang Lili and Yu Jia shouted passionately.
The moment the game ends.
The championship ribbons also floated from the sky above the Rose Garden Arena, and all the Blazers players rushed into the court to enjoy this wonderful moment of winning the championship.
After the cheers continued for a while, several figures came to the side of the reveling Trail Blazers players. Despite losing the series in an almost humiliating way, James, Cousins and others generously came over to congratulate Wang Zelin on his successful defense of the title.
"Congratulations, King, you deserve this championship!"
Cousins came to Wang Zelin, hugged him and congratulated him.
Cousins averaged 19.9 per game in 5 games in this year's finals. His performance in the finals was slightly less efficient than in the previous series, but he actually has no regrets.
From an innocent little virgin who never played in the playoffs during the Kings era, to assisting James all the way to the finals this season and successfully evolving into a veteran. Although he did not win the championship in the end, this post-season span was huge.
Experience will definitely play a profound and positive role in Cousins' career.
In the 20 playoff games played by the Cavaliers as a center, Cousins averaged 3.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.5 steals, and 1.4 blocks per game. He really made a name for himself in the playoffs and got rid of the previous regular season in one fell swoop.
Data brush hat.
Cousins, who is about to turn 25, has just reached his peak. If he loses, he loses. The worst he can do is fight again next year!
"I feel the most comfortable playing against you among almost all my opponents this year. I hope that when we play against each other again next year, you will be stronger than now!"
Wang Zelin responded with a smile.
Nowadays, Wang Zelin has gradually developed an invincible mentality. For the few centers currently in service that can bring him some excitement in the game, he does not want to dampen Cousins's spirit, but hopes that the opponent can do it in the future.
Bring him more happiness.
"Your dominance on the field is something I have never heard of!"
Cousins hugged Wang Zelin again and said with some emotion.
Not only is there no solution on the offensive end, but it is also unsolvable on the defensive end!
This is this year's Wang Zelin, the strongest player in the NBA today!
Wang Zelin was also very happy to receive praise from his opponent. After all, it is easy to win the game, but it is not easy to completely defeat the opponent.
After hugging the Cavaliers players one by one, Wang Zelin looked at the last figure.
LeBron James!
This guy was crouching, staring blankly at the dome of the Trail Blazers, saying nothing, not knowing what he was thinking. Wang Zelin looked in the direction, and it was the two championship flags of the Trail Blazers' opponents.
Although he already knew that he had no chance of winning the championship, James still felt a little sad when everything was settled.
Especially seeing the Cavaliers fans leaving safely in the stands of the Rose Garden Arena hurt his heart even more.
He had a hunch that with Wang Zelin's presence, he might never be able to surpass Jordan!
The overly young No. 36 was like a winner, having kicked himself off the throne and was crowned king!
"You have defeated me, young king!"
"But I won't admit defeat. I hope we can fight again next June!"
James came back to his senses, and as soon as he lowered his head, he saw Wang Zhelin staring directly at him. After he put down his harsh words, he pulled off his sleeves and left the court in despair!
Young king?!
What does this mean? Is this thirty-year-old man voluntarily abdicating his throne?
Wang Zelin's head was filled with questions, and then he quietly watched James disappear into the player tunnel.
…
Under the watchful eyes of many home fans, the Trail Blazers conducted post-game interviews. After interacting with the watching stars and celebrities, the staff signaled the Trail Blazers players, coaching staff, and management staff to come to the court.
The award ceremony is about to take place.
Wang Zelin and his teammates are very excited. Thank you everyone for listening.
After a while, the finals MVP voting ended, and league president Xiao Hua walked out of the player tunnel, accompanied by Russell, the King of the Ring, and two hostesses.
When the four of them came to the stadium, Wang Zelin and all his teammates focused their attention on the two etiquette ladies.
Ahem, don’t get me wrong, this is definitely not because of the two bright headlights of the two young ladies that do not match their figures, but because of the O’Brien Cup and Russell Cup in their hands.
"Ladies and gentlemen," Xiao Hua started the award ceremony with a seemingly elegant smile, "Congratulations to the Portland Trail Blazers for winning the season championship!"
As soon as these words came out, the fans in the audience and the Chinese fans on the other side of the ocean began to shout loudly.
Xiao Hua picked up the O'Brien Cup from the tray in the hands of the etiquette lady. The veteran Carter, encouraged by his teammates, came to the front and took the championship trophy from Xiao Hua, and then hugged Xiao Hua.
Carter thought he was calm enough, but when he received the championship trophy, which symbolizes the highest glory of the NBA, he couldn't help but burst into tears...
The one who touched me the most was Garnett, who was standing on the edge of the left side. Because when the Trail Blazers won the championship last year, out of respect for the veteran, it was Garnett who was the first to step forward and receive the championship trophy.
Own.
Unsurprisingly, when this scene is seen on television by veterans who are still longing for championship honors, it will definitely increase their recognition of the Trail Blazers.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Think about it from another person's perspective, if it was themselves who were holding the cup instead of Carter at this time, how wonderful it would be!
Sometimes, excellent team culture is formed slowly and subconsciously.
From the players to the coaching staff to the management, everyone raised the championship trophy. In the end, the fighting spirit returned to Carter's hands. Carter held it in his arms and kissed it gently, never letting go.
Then came the finals MVP award, and everyone's eyes were focused on the Trail Blazers' No. 36, and then...
"Wang Zelin~MVP!"
"Wang Zelin~MVP!"
"Wang Zelin~MVP!"
The arena was once again filled with excitement. There were nearly 20,000 people, and the overwhelming cheers completely drowned out everyone's voices.
Wang Zelin's eyes are focused on the Finals MVP trophy. After 5 games, he averaged 40.2 points, 18.2 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 4.8 blocks and 1 steal per game!
Especially the rebounds, 3 assists, 5 blocks and 2 steals recorded in tonight's game. Among them, Allen Iverson in the 2016 Finals ranked third highest in a single game in the history of the Finals, second only to James' 50 points and Jordan's just-recorded 50 points.
55 points in the 1993 Finals.
Counting the first game of the Finals and tonight's game, Wang Zelin, who contributed two games during the Finals, is officially on an equal footing with O'Neal, who played two games in the Finals, sharing this great record.
Xiao Hua saw Wang Zelin take two steps forward. He smiled at Wang Zelin, held up the microphone and continued: "Girls and gentlemen, the winner of the most valuable player in the season finals is-Wang Zelin!"
No suspense!
In this year's finals, Wang Zelin became the fourth player in history to average 40 points per game in the finals. The first two were Elgin Baylor and Rick Barry in the 1970s, but both of them lost in the finals.
, which is very sad.
Then the third place, which is the closest to Wang Zelin's record, was Michael Jordan's average of 41 points per game with the Suns that faced Barkley in the 1993 Finals.
Of course, if we consider Wang Zelin's subsequent statistics of 18 4 4 1, then his performance in this year's finals is absolutely unprecedented.
After the cheers, Russell, the 81-year-old Lord of the Rings, came to Wang Zelin's side as he was called by the staff. He was about to take the finals trophy named after himself from the tray of the etiquette lady and then deliver it to Wang Zelin.
, the most embarrassing scene in the history of the finals occurred.
I saw Xiao Hua taking a big step forward, ignoring Mr. Russell on the side, picking up the trophy with both hands and awarding it to Wang Zelin personally.
After receiving the cold Finals MVP trophy from Xiao Hua, Wang Zelin didn't feel very happy at this moment. But when he saw that Russell, who had just raised his hands, was left out, he took back his hands and lowered his head.
While his face looked lonely, there was also a hint of dissatisfaction on his face.
From Game 4 to now, the reason why the old man chose to grit his teeth and go from Cleveland to Portland at the age of 81 is to pass on the legacy of the NBA.
As a result, the old man flew around and didn't even touch the trophy named after himself. I wonder how he felt at this time?
For a moment, when this scene appeared, the cheers of the home fans suddenly stopped, and the scene fell into a period of embarrassment... and boos!
Although he saw Wang Zelin win the cup with his own eyes, Xiao Hua's disrespectful behavior towards Russell still aroused great dissatisfaction among Trail Blazers fans. Then, everyone was booing at the scene.
But even though the scene had reached such an embarrassing stage, Xiao Hua remained calm. After awarding the trophy, he took the initiative to extend his right hand, wanting to shake hands and hug Wang Zelin.
However, the next moment, an even more amazing scene occurred.
Wang Zelin was seen directly passing by the alliance president, as if he didn't see the latter's right hand stretched out in the air, and walked straight towards Lord Russell, the Lord of the Rings.
"Russell, we meet again."
Arriving in front of the aging Russell, Wang Zelin took the initiative to extend his right hand and greeted him cordially.
"King...congratulations! Congratulations on your successful defense of the title! You are well-deserved for this honor!"
Russell probably never thought that Wang Zelin, a young man, would come to help him out at this time. Faced with the latter's overtures, he tremblingly stretched out his hand, and then the two hugged gently. one time.
However, Wang Zelin took the initiative to stand in a row with Russell and placed the trophy between them, each holding it in one hand.
This scene was also recorded by countless photographers "Kacha" and "Kacha".
Wang Zelin took the microphone from the staff.
"I'm very happy that we can win this year's championship, and I'm honored to win the MVP trophy again, but it's not too surprising because everything is within my expectations!"
"I said during the regular season that our goal this year is to win the championship. At that time, many people laughed at us for not overestimating our capabilities, but my teammates and I have proven with facts that we Blazers never talk big!"
"Defending the title is just a new beginning. My goal has never been one or two championships, but to establish the Trail Blazers dynasty!"
After Wang Zelin said these words, the audience shouted again. The arena of 20,000 people shouted with the momentum of the 70,000 people in the NCAA Finals!
After successfully defending their title, their excitement is no less than when they won the championship last year, and they are celebrating not only now, but also next season, and the next season...
Being young should be flamboyant, and being young means having no limits!
They have foreseen that the future of the Portland Trail Blazers will be a sea of stars!
Everyone at the scene was celebrating selflessly, except for a certain bald man who had been ignored. Now it was his turn to feel the embarrassing situation that Mr. Russell had just faced.
Emmm, this finals award ceremony is probably the most embarrassing in NBA history...
Ahem, it should be said to be the most ups and downs of the championship award ceremony. From the beginning to the end, it can be said that it is full of "surprises!"
