Braised Eggplant with Minced Pork
Chapter 984 Tang Tian's Era! (Second Update!)
Thank you to Coach Stevens and the coaching staff for their efforts in allowing us to give 100% in the game;
Thank you to every teammate behind me. We experienced a lot of injuries this year, and the difficulties were greater than last year, but everyone on our team stepped up, Montrezl stepped up, Malcolm and Zhu's three-pointers, Trevor's defense, Ad's outstanding performance…
Everyone stood up in times of difficulty, and this time I can say from the bottom of my heart that this championship belongs to everyone."
Tang Tian's acceptance speech this year was much more formal than last year's, and like Stevens's, it came from the heart and resonated with people.
"The person I want to thank the most is my wife, Elizabeth."
And similar to Stevens's speech last year, Tang Tian thanked Olsen at the end this year.
"My two sons were just born, and I couldn't be with them for a long time because of the game. I blame myself. She took on the responsibilities of a father for me, letting the two children know what a father is, so the person I want to dedicate this championship to most is her."
Olsen couldn't stop crying when Tang Tian said this.
Women can actually endure hardship, but only if men can feel it, instead of taking it for granted.
Tang Tian's speech was more precious and touching than any gift.
Cheers also rang out in the arena.
Although they were shown a lot of affection by Tang Tian, they felt the sweetness too.
Tang Tian is not a perfect idol. He is sometimes temperamental and impulsive, but essentially a good person, especially as a husband.
Such a city hero, like Iverson in the beginning, is very popular.
After interviewing Tang Tian, the reporter then went to Davis.
Tang Tian was hugging Olsen, who had tears in her eyes but was full of affection.
"How does it feel to complete the repeat, Ad?"
The reporter asked Davis.
"Yes, I feel like my life has reached its climax, I feel like my life has reached its peak, it's shocking, we really did it."
Davis was still very excited at this time.
His performance in the Finals last year could only be considered average, and the Pelicans' championship last year was very similar to Nowitzki's championship in 2011.
Single core, Tang Tian's apotheosis, is the label of that championship.
But his performance this year has obviously improved, especially in the third game, when he stepped up when Tang Tian wasn't feeling well and gave the Pelicans an advantage.
He has reason to be excited.
"What is the thing you want to do most right now?"
The reporter then asked.
Bar crawl, party, gamble in Las Vegas, everyone has a different way to celebrate after winning the championship.
The reporter was also curious about Davis's choice.
"I want to start new training right away, start the new season right away, I see an opportunity, we have a chance to complete a dynasty!"
But to the surprise of the reporter and everyone, Davis actually gave such an answer.
The fans at the scene were stunned at first, followed by cheers!
With such a second leader around Tang Tian, the dynasty really has a great chance!
Tang Tian also laughed when he heard this.
The biggest difference between Davis and Duncan is probably that he is better at speaking now, at least for more than 30 seconds.
The reporter continued to interview the other Pelicans players.
"I didn't contribute much, and the fact proves that vision and luck are also important to win a championship."
When asked about Diop, his flirtatious answer caused a burst of laughter from the fans at the scene.
Sure enough, Diop is the most flirtatious when it comes to being flirtatious.
"Will you choose to retire after the season?"
The reporter then asked.
"Retire? No, no, I want to follow this team to complete the dynasty, which I didn't complete in San Antonio."
Diop's next words made the fans at the scene laugh even more, and they felt a burst of secret joy in their hearts.
Everyone knows about the feud between Tang Tian and the Spurs, and now Diop, as a former teammate, said this, and the unintentional flattery made people feel extremely comfortable.
"Of course, if they still want me next year."
Diop flirted again at the end, causing another burst of laughter from the fans.
People used to say that having an old man at home is like having a treasure, but the Pelicans' treasure is not only old but also flirtatious.
The reporter's interview was almost over, and the voting for the FMVP on the sidelines was also almost over.
This year's FMVP had some suspense compared to last year.
Tang Tian averaged 29.7 points, 7.6 rebounds, 10.3 assists, and 3.2 steals in five games, with a 49% shooting percentage and a 41% three-point shooting percentage.
Because of the poor touch in the first three games, his score and shooting percentage have declined a lot compared to last year.
But his performance is still very eye-catching, and he is also the best performer for the Pelicans.
And what makes the FMVP suspenseful is Davis.
In five games, he averaged 22.6 points, 12.8 rebounds, and 2.6 blocks, with a 52% shooting percentage.
This data is also very eye-catching as the team's second leader.
If you watched the entire Finals this year, you would really have a Jordan + Pippen feeling for them.
The staff took the results in the envelope to the center of the court, and Tatum took it and paused deliberately to create suspense.
After raising the emotions of the fans at the scene, he opened the envelope and took it out.
"The winner of the 2016~2017 season Bill Russell NBA Finals Most Valuable Player Award is..."
Tatum paused again deliberately.
At this moment, Bill Russell, sitting in a wheelchair, was helped to stand up by Barkley and O'Neal.
"Tang Tian!"
When Tatum announced the final result, whistles and cheers rang out instantly.
This is a result that has suspense and no suspense.
Tang Tian played his peak season, winning all the MVPs for the regular season, All-Star Game, and Finals!
Although the injury in the first few games of the Finals made his Finals data not so dazzling.
But the imperfect perfection is even more impressive, and this FMVP is equally significant to Tang Tian.
Tatum picked up the trophy on the table and handed it to Russell, and then Russell handed it to Tang Tian.
This time, the Lord of the Rings was finally not standing next to Xiao Hua watching the show.
Tang Tian took the trophy from Russell's hands.
"Congratulations, again and again."
Russell was quite humorous. After handing the trophy to Tang Tian, he laughed and said something that made Tang Tian laugh.
The again and again, added together is four times, naturally counting Tang Tian's time with the Spurs.
Speaking of which, Tang Tian and Russell have a good relationship in private. The two have also had separate exchanges before, which is why the Lord of the Rings would say that.
After Russell handed the trophy to Tang Tian, he didn't rush to take a group photo, but turned to look at the reporter, as if he had something to say.
The reporter reacted quickly and quickly brought the topic to his mouth.
"Congratulations Tang, this is his era."
When Russell said this, the cheers at the scene exploded instantly.
Tang Tian's era!
Said from the mouth of the Lord of the Rings, who has witnessed countless championships, this is the official certification!
