Chapter 822 Tang Tianri, New Orleans

The convoy entered the Mercedes-Benz Superdome to the cheers of fans.

In the past championship parades, many stages were set up outside the arena, and then the championship speech was given there.

But this year, in order to get more people involved, the Pelicans set up the stage for the championship speech in the Superdome.

Because the stadium is next to the New Orleans Pavilion, it is quite convenient.

As the home stadium of the Saints, this stadium can accommodate more than 70,000 people to watch live, which can be said to be perfect.

The Pelicans entered the stadium, and there were already more than 70% of the fans inside, and there were still fans entering the stadium at the entrance.

The roof of the stadium can be closed. After it is closed now, the aerial photography helicopter will also continue to follow up the shooting.

This is definitely the biggest championship parade in NBA history.

Half an hour later, the stadium was full of seats, and a championship speech, the scene was comparable to an NFL game.

At the scene, Pelicans owner Tom Benson sat in a wheelchair with his wife Gail Benson standing next to him.

At the beginning of this year, the 88-year-old Benson's mental condition deteriorated and he did not appear in public for a long time.

This can be seen from his pale face, his time should be running out.

But to be able to witness the Pelicans win the championship at the last moment of his life, for him, this is already a Dzogchen.

Benson was also the first to give a speech. He said very little, but his emotions were visible to the naked eye.

"The Saints and the Pelicans, they both brought championships to this city, and I'll be proud of that for the rest of my life."

These are the last words of his speech.

As the owner of the two teams, both have won their respective league championships, as he said, it is enough for him to be proud.

Immediately after the speech was Stevens, who is also today's protagonist.

Stevens was as humble as ever, and after thanking the team management and the coaching staff, he commented on the performance of the players one by one.

This is the process of reviewing. He was prepared and showed a rare sense of humor.

And unlike ordinary coaches, he started with role players.

"I have to thank Lance Stephenson. Before the finals, the coaching staff and I were worried that he would blow on LeBron's ears again, or untie the shoelaces of opposing players. Fortunately, he didn't do that."

Stevens' words not only made Stephenson laugh out loud, but there was also a burst of whistles and booing at the scene.

Obviously this kind of humorous speech is deeply liked by them.

"I can share a little secret with you. Bojan is not only good at shooting on the court, but also off the court."

Stevens really went out of his way today. The cryptic words made Bo Yang's face turn red, and the audience cheered continuously.

Among them were the screams of many girl fans.

It looks like Bojan will become Podrick Payne in "Game of Thrones" and become a female friend.

"I would be willing to coach Jrue Holiday for the rest of my life, because he is the most down-to-earth person I have ever seen, not only a player, but also the most reliable and trustworthy as a friend."

When it comes to Holiday, Stevens is very serious, a capable and hard-working player, all coaches will like him.

"Nicolas is the most talented newcomer I have ever seen, but I hope everyone who meets him in advance, don't try to treat him to delicious food, his only shortcoming is that he can't control his mouth, I won't Want to see a fat guy before the new season starts."

Jokic is embarrassed to be said, but this is also a public reminder from Stevens to him. Jokic is not only gluttonous but also prone to obesity. The test of him during the offseason may be greater than that of the season.

"I have to thank AD, the two games he wasn't in, we lost one and almost lost the other, his role in this team is irreplaceable, but that's not for him Surprising thing, because he was born No. 1, as he should be."

Stevens' bragging in disguise caused Davis to be pushed up from his seat and applauded by his teammates, and the cheers on the scene were also overwhelming.

The cheers of 70,000 people are obviously much higher than that of 20,000 people. This scene is really unparalleled.

After the cheers fell, Stevens finally looked at Tang Tian.

Before Stevens could speak, the cheers of the scene re-emerged.

Stevens called one by one, and the other 14 people had already been called, and there was only the last one left, and everyone knew it was Tang Tian without guessing.

"MVP! MVP!"

I don't know who started first, the cheers gradually turned into a unified MVP slogan.

Cheers resounded over the stadium. This is probably the loudest MVP cheer in the NBA so far.

This is a real number of more than 70,000 people.

The cries of MVP lasted for more than a minute before stopping, which was enough to prove the city's love for Tang Tian.

"He did what he was supposed to do, he's brought the city a title and now we're looking forward to the next one."

Stevens knew that no amount of words was important to Tang Tian, ​​and a simple sentence had already said what he wanted to say.

It was Tang Tian who brought the champion to this city, and only Tang Tian can bring the next one.

The cheers of the MVP on the scene sounded again, and the host at the scene walked quickly to Tang Tian and handed him the microphone.

On such an occasion, Tang Tian definitely needs to say something.

Tang Tian stood up and took the microphone with a smile.

The words he wanted to say had already been said more than once on the night of winning the championship.

And this time the protagonist of the championship speech was Stevens, so he didn't mean to say a lot.

He took the microphone, and after a pause, he only said one sentence.

"The Pelicans championship."

The Pelicans champion, in one sentence, echoed what Stevens said, and said what he wanted to say.

The fans at the scene also erupted in an instant, and the cheers of MVP were no longer, replaced by the slogan of the Pelicans championship.

After that, Stevens' speech ended, and the Pelicans' championship parade came to an end.

For all Pelicans fans, this is definitely their most memorable day.

At the end, New Orleans Mayor Jeff Hunter gave a speech.

He thanked the Pelicans for their contribution to the city. At the end of his speech, he mentioned Tang Tian alone and made a decision.

"He has made too many contributions to this city. Not only did he bring the city the first NBA championship trophy as a basketball player, he was also the first to stand up for the city when it was hit by a hurricane. Foundation established.

He is not only a basketball player, but also a hero of this city. I declare here that today, June 22, will be designated as Tang Tian Day to thank and commemorate Tang's contribution to this city! "
