The cheers of Knicks fans in the stands of Chesapeake Energy Field seemed to bring Lian Dao back to Madison Square Garden.
Although he remained expressionless and behaved calmly, his slightly trembling hands and feet betrayed his restless heart.
He thought that winning the championship for the second time would not be as exciting as the first time.
But when he really wanted to win his second championship trophy, he realized how wrong he was.
Lian Dao, who was standing on the sidelines, couldn't help clenching his fists and then unclenching them.
Even he himself could clearly hear the "bang~bang~bang" heartbeat.
His breathing became rapid and heavy, just like when he first entered the arena.
But this time, Lian Dao didn't feel nervous at all, but just excited.
Not all goals and ideals are fortunate enough to be achieved, especially the championship.
This requires not only absolute strength, but also a trace of luck.
Fortunately, although the Knicks experienced twists and turns due to injuries this season, they finally made it to the end and completed their climb to the top.
At this moment, standing on the top of the mountain, a huge sense of happiness came over me.
All the difficulties experienced before disappeared at this moment.
4:0!
There is nothing more convincing than this record.
Throughout the history of the NBA Finals, few NBA teams have done it.
Now that the Knicks have accomplished this feat, no team in the league dares to underestimate the Knicks.
Who still dares to say that the New York Knicks are a star graveyard now? Who still dares to laugh at the fact that the Knicks will never get ahead?
If there were people who said he was lucky when he won the championship last year, what about the two consecutive championships?
I believe it’s enough to shut everyone up!
At this time, in the luxury box, Knicks owner James Dolan, who was about to leave to attend the award ceremony, was equally excited.
Two years ago, he would never have imagined that the New York Knicks would win the championship for two consecutive years.
When Lian Dao was selected with the No. 1 pick in the draft, James Dolan was gambling.
The potential of LianDao and the market behind it made James Dolan salivate.
But similarly, the vulnerability of Asians to injuries once gave James Dolan some hesitation.
But in the end he chose to take a gamble!
The potential shown by Lian Dao really moved his heart, and he was glad that he did not change his mind and choose the "White Monster" Blake Griffin.
In the past few years, it would be no exaggeration to say that the arrival of Lian Dao has changed the entire New York Knicks.
Not to mention anything else, the market value of the New York Knicks has almost tripled.
The owners of the other 29 teams in the league saw James Dolan making a lot of money, and all of them secretly scolded him for his bad luck.
"Two consecutive championships, really two consecutive championships..."
James Dolan kept mumbling.
Although two consecutive championships have long been a certainty, it is only a matter of time.
But when this moment really came, James Dolan still couldn't calm down.
He is a pure businessman, but that doesn't mean he doesn't like honor, especially since this guy is someone who likes to show off.
The two consecutive championships undoubtedly once again increased his bragging rights.
From being a fool with too much money to the owner of the most successful team in the league, James Dolan can be said to have completed a gorgeous transformation!
"That's right, BOSS, we accomplished the feat of winning two consecutive championships. It's unbelievable! Sickle played a decisive role here!"
Donnie Wash was also a little sad when he spoke.
Back then, Isaiah Thomas was exposed in a scandal that almost destroyed the Knicks.
As a last resort, James Dolan had no choice but to promote Donnie Wash to the position of general manager.
And Donnie Walsh became the general manager, more like the fire captain introduced by James Dolan.
Originally, James Dolan wanted to let Isaiah Thomas return to the team management after the situation calmed down.
However, Lian Dao's arrival and growth allowed Donnie Wash to secure his position as general manager.
Especially after the Knicks, under the leadership of Lian Dao, showed their ability to win championships in their rookie season.
Even James Dolan, who doesn't understand football, didn't dare to do other tricks.
There was no bullshit like issuing a joint statement and hiring Isaiah Thomas as the team's honorary advisor, as in history.
"Hahaha, yes, sickle is my goddess of luck... no, she is the male god!"
"Donny, your most important task this summer is to renew Sickle's contract with an unconditional maximum salary!"
"I have a hunch that sickle will become the Michael of this era!"
James Dolan's words were very serious and solemn, giving Downey a feeling that there was nothing to be missed.
Indeed, Lian Dao not only fulfilled his talent during his rookie contract, but also demonstrated strong commercial value.
I believe that no team owner would watch his cash cow fly away.
"Don't worry, boss, I will definitely keep Sickle in the Knicks!"
As soon as Donny Wash finished speaking, an electronic buzzer sounded from the center of the court symbolizing the end of the game.
4:0, the Knicks swept the Thunder and won the finals!
A new dynasty is gradually taking shape!
…
"It only took Sickle and his team three years to go from a weak team in the Eastern Conference to two consecutive championships, from a fledgling rookie to a league superstar!"
"Although the success of the Knicks and sickle is difficult to replicate, it is not an accident. This is a group of young people pursuing their dream of a championship!"
"Luckily, they succeeded!"
"Of course, the Thunder boys also showed great potential in the finals, but it is a pity that their opponents were stronger."
"But don't be discouraged. Before any team reaches greatness, it will suffer from failure. I believe that the Thunder will be even stronger next season!"
"Now, let us cheer for the new NBA championship!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! With the cheers of the Knicks fans at the scene, Kenny Smith couldn't help but stand up excitedly.
The story of the New York Knicks is definitely legendary in the league.
From the wasteland to become strong, from the weakling of the East to two consecutive championships.
Under the leadership of Lian Dao, it can be said that the Knicks have completed a counterattack despite everyone's disapproval.
Two consecutive championships, although not as great as the three consecutive championship dynasties, is still an amazing achievement.
'Big Dream' firmly occupies the position of the Rockets' greatest player by virtue of his two consecutive championships during Jordan's first retirement.
After O'Neal left the Lakers, if Kobe had not won two consecutive championships, his historical status would definitely be much lower than it is now.
Winning two consecutive championships is an honor that many players will find difficult to achieve in their lifetime.
Not to mention two consecutive championships, just one championship, which is beyond the reach of many superstars in the league.
And now, after the Los Angeles Lakers, another super overlord of the league is being born!
At the end of the game, the entire Knicks team went crazy.
Cousins, Jeremy Lin and Gallinari started running all over the court.
Millsap jumped directly on Lian Dao, without any precautions, and almost knocked Lian Dao over.
Don't look down upon this guy, but he's as strong as a calf, otherwise he wouldn't be able to gain a foothold on the inside amid so many giants.
After Lian Dao put down Millsap, he turned around and saw the excited D'Antoni with a mustache.
This is the second championship in his coaching career. Although he had tasted the benefits of a championship coach last year, no head coach can have too many championships.
Mustache has made a lot of changes this season, especially that he is no longer obsessed with running and gunning and extreme offense.
Rather, it truly achieves both offense and defense.
The real change in mustache history was during the Rockets era.
In particular, the Rockets led by the "Light Bulb Combination" played unlimited defense changes that year and almost did not knock down the peak "Cosmic Brave".
It is not easy for D'Antoni to make changes after winning his first championship.
You must know that not everyone has the courage to choose to jump out of their comfort zone and accept something new after receiving a huge honor.
But D'Antoni did it, both now and in history.
Lian Dao stepped forward and gave his mentor a big hug.
The two have been getting along for three years, and it has not always been smooth sailing. There have been differences and conflicts during the process of getting along, but this has not affected the teacher-student friendship between the two.
“Hey Mike, we’ve made it back to back!”
Lian Dao said excitedly as he hugged D'Antoni.
"Thank you, sickle!"
D'Antoni patted Lian Dao on the shoulder with some regret.
The goal that was not achieved in Phoenix back then was unexpectedly achieved in New York.
D'Antoni knows that Lian Dao takes the main credit here.
For two consecutive championships, D'Antoni did not take credit, especially at many critical moments when Lian Dao saved the team from dire straits.
These are not something that can be achieved at the tactical level, but are the ultimate expression of a player's super strength.
