Chapter 817 The Grand Champion Awards Ceremony!
In the carnival, few people noticed the loneliness of the Cavaliers next door.
Irving looked at the celebrating Pelicans with envy in his eyes.
Love sat blankly on the bench on the sidelines.
After losing in the finals for two consecutive years, and his performance was not as good as the previous year, he began to feel the same way as Bosh of the Heat.
Marion sighed after watching for a long time. He originally wanted to win a championship at the end of his career, but it seems that he chose the wrong one.
James wrapped his head in a towel, and from the movement of his shoulders he was crying.
But this time he left Miami, without Wade's shoulders to rely on, only him.
Like a lion that failed to compete for the Lion King, secretly licking its own wounds.
The bias of the alliance once gave them hope, but they didn't find out until the end.
The feeling of trying to be defeated at the last moment is not as exhilarating as losing the game 1-4.
Finally James stood up, with red eyes, and entered the tunnel with the rest of the Cavaliers.
In the previous two encounters with Tang Tian, he could still say that Tang Tian was a role player, and it was the Spurs, not Tang Tian, who defeated him.
But this time, Tang Tian beat him with a record-breaking score, and he had no excuses.
Maybe it was really a mistake when he agreed with the Heat to give up Tang Tian.
...
After a brief carnival, the scene entered the preparations for the championship award ceremony.
The players of the Pelicans returned to the locker room to change the championship T-shirt, and greeted the celebration ceremony that was about to begin.
There will be a gap of more than ten minutes. After they arrived in the locker room, they couldn't wait to pick up champagne and start celebrating.
Accompanied by bursts of screams, the locker room was already full of wet men.
This is definitely their happiest moment.
Nothing compares to this moment.
While the team members were celebrating, Tang Tian opened his closet, motioned for Davis and Jokic to come over, and took out a box of mysterious things from it.
It was a box of Moutai he specially prepared before the competition.
He told Davis about his determination to win the championship before the game. In order to show this determination, he also prepared this in advance.
"This is baijiu, Chinese baijiu."
Under the curious eyes of the team members, Tang Tian took out the small cups he had prepared in advance, and poured them one by one.
"It's the best way to celebrate."
He picked up the white wine glass.
Although the team members had never drank baijiu, they saw that Tang Tian did it, so they followed suit.
"Pelican Championship!"
He yelled and drank it down.
"Pelican Championship!"
The other team members also shouted slogans one after another, and then imitated Tang Tian and drank it all in one gulp.
But immediately, almost everyone was choked and coughed.
There was a burst of shouting and cursing in the locker room.
Liquor is definitely exciting enough to drink for the first time.
Only Ariza was there laughing.
When he was playing for the Rockets, he had been to China a few times, and he ate instant noodles, so he naturally knew a lot about baijiu.
He just took a sip just now, but now he is the one who doesn't feel the least among all his teammates, and even thinks it tastes good.
But besides him, someone else was also laughing.
Jokic drank a glass and felt nothing.
Sure enough, most Europeans are not afraid of alcohol, and fat people are naturally talented in drinking.
Drinking a cup of Moutai is an episode of their celebration of winning the championship.
After drinking, the players changed into champion T-shirts, wiped their wet hair with a towel, and walked back to the arena together.
The audience at the scene had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw them coming out wearing the championship T-shirts, the cheers sounded again.
Players from the Pelicans also reached out to greet the crowd.
The preparations for the on-site award ceremony have been completed, and the media and reporters from all over the world have focused their cameras on the center of the court.
New Orleans won a championship as a small city team, which is definitely an inspirational thing.
Alliance president Xiao Hua also came to the venue.
His mood didn't look very good, and the game failed to follow his script in the end, which was not a good thing for him.
But no matter what his mood is, as the president, he has to present the championship for the Pelicans, and he has to act very happy.
"First of all, we have to thank the Cavaliers for their wonderful performance. A good game needs a good opponent. They played very well."
Xiao Hua first thanked the Cavaliers.
There were boos all over the place.
There is nothing wrong with Xiao Hua's statement itself, but after the 1-3 was forcibly blown to 3-3, Pelicans fans will have ghosts if they can buy it.
However, Xiao Hua's ability to control his emotions is really good. He continued his speech with a smile on his face as he did in the draft.
"We also have to thank all the staff, media and fans for their dedication in the finals. They made the game more exciting."
The boos continued on the scene. Although Xiao Hua brought the fans, the referees were among the staff he thanked.
"But we should congratulate the Pelicans and his fans most, they won the first championship trophy in the history of this city, and they were the NBA champions in the 2015-2016 season."
When Xiao Hua read the final lines, the boos at the scene disappeared, followed by a tsunami of cheers.
They have already won the championship, but only from the mouth of Xiao Hua, the president of the league, that is the official announcement!
At the scene, they are the legitimate champions!
After Xiao Hua finished the announcement, he sent the Larry O'Brien championship trophy belonging to the championship to Stevens.
Stevens raised the trophy, thanked Xiao Hua, then turned around and handed it to the players behind him.
An unstoppable scream followed closely behind.
Starting from Tang Tian, to Davis, to Jokic and Holiday, they kissed the trophy one by one.
At this time, the saliva is not a problem at all, and the adrenaline is soaring under the excitement, and the taste has long been lost.
But to say that being the boss of the team is a bit good at this time, Tang Tian was the first to kiss, and the trophy was the cleanest at that time.
He is the first blood to take the trophy.
The team members are still kissing and stroking the trophy, and even Aminu, who is wearing a national flag and holding the trophy, asks reporters to take pictures.
This is the first championship trophy for most of them, and they will naturally leave many memorable photos.
The trophy finally returned to Davis, who pulled Tang Tian and motioned for him to raise his arm for the camera.
Tang Tian did it.
When they made this move, the cheers on the scene exploded again.
Before the start of the playoffs, Tang Tian and Davis, like Terry back then, specially tattooed the championship trophy on their arms.
Doing so put them in a make-or-break situation, which they did in the end.
This will definitely become a topic that fans talk about after the game, and this is destined to become a classic scene in NBA history!
