Chapter 818 This Is Tang Tian's Season!

The award ceremony for the champion was over, and the team members continued to take photos with the trophy.

Reporters also began to interview key players from the team.

The first person to be interviewed was naturally the head coach Stevens.

As a famous NCAA coach, his best performance in the NCAA period was just reaching the championship finals.

But after arriving in the NBA, he won the championship in the third season.

"I'm lucky enough to be able to coach this Pelicans team, which was already a good enough team before I got here."

When asked to thank him for winning the championship, that was the first thing Stevens said.

The Pelicans' championship run this season is very similar to last season's Warriors.

Also changed the head coach with little change in the lineup, played a season of qualitative change, and finally succeeded in winning the championship.

The only change is the coach. The coach who won the championship must be the biggest one, followed by the growth of the players.

So this sentence sounds right, but it also reflects Stevens' humble character.

Stevens went on to thank the entire team.

"The last person I would like to thank is my wife Trish, who has supported me throughout the year beyond anything I can imagine."

He finally thanked his wife.

Changing from one city to another to start afresh, being able to devote himself to work, the help his wife gave is imaginable.

When Stevens said this, Tang Tian also looked at Olsen who was holding the child in the front row of the auditorium.

What Stevens' wife paid, Olsen gave only a little more, especially when he gave birth to two sons at the beginning of the season.

He reached out and touched his pocket, which contained things he had prepared before the game.

It was time to fulfill what was promised at the beginning.

After interviewing Stevens, the reporter pointed the microphone at Tang Tian.

"Don, how do you feel now, after winning the first championship in team history for this city?"

After the reporter finished asking, Tang Tian hadn't even opened his mouth when the fans cheered.

"MVP! MVP!"

Tang Tian played an MVP-like regular season, followed by an incredible playoff game.

The name of MVP, no one can bear it except him.

The shouting continued for more than a minute, and the audience stopped when Tang Tian stretched out his hand to signal.

This is also the benefit of winning the championship at home. There are so many fans witnessing this historical moment.

"I'm excited, as excited as everyone in the room."

As soon as Tang Tian opened his mouth, cheers and whistles echoed throughout the arena.

They are echoing what Tang Tian said in this way, and they are proving that they are indeed as excited as Tang Tian said.

Tang Tian didn't do anything this time, and he didn't continue until the cheers from the audience stopped.

"These three years are very important to us. I am not upset because I didn't win the championship last year, or the year before, because I know that we are growing every year. The failures in the past just make us stronger, strong enough to deal with many Unfavorable situation."

Tang Tian didn't say it very bluntly, but the fans cheered and booed after hearing it.

The unfavorable situations Tang Tian mentioned naturally refer to those unfair punishments.

Compared with the straightforward words he said in the press conference after the fourth game, this is already very cryptic.

But what he said is not unreasonable. Last year's Pelicans also had a chance to win the championship, but they were too young and immature at that time.

The butterfly effect exists. If they had won the championship by luck last year, Stevens would not have won New Orleans.

If Stevens doesn't come, they won't establish an offensive and defensive tactical system, and it will be much more difficult to win the championship this year.

Not to mention whether the Warriors can survive, even if they pass the Warriors, they will have to play 5 against 8 against the Cavaliers in the finals, which is not necessarily a win.

So what Tang Tian said was right, the saying that failure is the mother of success is not poisonous chicken soup.

"Now we have won the first championship, but this is only our first season, we will become more mature, we will win the second, the third, we will achieve a dynasty!"

What Tang Tian said next caused the arena to explode instantly.

This is very domineering, really domineering.

If it is not at home to win the championship, it is estimated that the away fans will be pissed off.

But he has the capital to say so.

As he said, their growth in the past three years, coupled with the entry of Stevens, has made this team very mature.

This season, only their first season, they successfully won the championship, and almost crushed it.

Two consecutive championships, three consecutive championships, and even more consecutive championships are definitely possible events!

The big three of TNT laughed when they heard this in the commentary booth.

Buckley kept shaking his head.

"That's why I like him so much!"

O'Neill followed up with a laugh.

Tang Tian sometimes has a more straightforward way of speaking than Westerners.

"They have this opportunity."

Smith was the calmest of the three, but he nodded in agreement.

The Pelicans have a reasonable salary structure, and Jokic has two years left on his rookie contract.

As long as they retain the core structure of Tang Tian, ​​Davis and Jokic, the three consecutive championships are very promising.

Tang Tian's interview ended, and the reporter interviewed Davis, Holiday, and Jokic one after another.

These are the core players of the Pelicans.

Davis was moved to tears during the interview.

In the past three years, he has been under a lot of pressure as the No. 1 pick. For him, this championship is a great encouragement.

While the interview was going on, the live media was also doing the final counting of the FMVP votes.

At the end of the interview, the staff over there also came over with an envelope containing the results.

This is probably the least suspenseful FMVP.

Tang Tian averaged 35.5 points, 5.2 rebounds, 7.2 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.1 blocks in 7 games, shooting 55% from the field and 48% from three-pointers.

This included a triple-double in Game 3 and a record-breaking 62 points in Game 7.

Bill Russell was in a wheelchair, pushed out of the crowd and helped up.

Xiao Hua also opened the envelope, squeezed out a smile and announced the final result of FMVP.

"The one who won the 2015-2016 Bill Russell Cup is... Tang Tian."

The result is no suspense.

The voting results were displayed on the large LED screen at the scene, and Tang Tian got all 11 votes cast by the media.

Trembling, Russell handed the FMVP trophy to Tang Tian.

Tang Tian took the trophy from Russell with both hands, and then raised it above his head.

The cheers of the scene resounded through the arena again.

This season, Tang Tian won the MVP of the regular season, the MVP of the All-Star Game, and the MVP of the finals.

In addition, he also has the best defensive player, and was selected for the best defensive first team and the best first team.

His honor even surpassed Jordan in the 87-88 season (won all the above honors except FMVP) and Olajuwon in the 93-94 season (won all the above honors except the All-Star Game MVP.)

This is Tang Tian's season!
