The Godfather of Basketball

"First of all, I have to thank coach Tang Tian. I am very happy to see him standing here. He is so young, but he has led the team to two consecutive championships. He is a great coach."

Stern's words pushed the atmosphere to the climax in an instant.

"Don! Don!"

The cheers at the scene were overwhelming.

Only by witnessing it can you know how much a coach contributes to a team, and this cheer is the best proof.

When the cheers stopped, Stern was able to continue.

"I think I have to mention you at the end." Stern also joked.

There was a lot of laughter at the scene. It turned out that Stern still had such a humorous scene.

"I also have to thank Tom Thibodeau, Steve Kerr, and general manager Daryl Morey, owner Mr. Alexander."

Stern went on to count all the key players on the field, and took a last look at the O'Brien Cup.

"Now, Team Rocket, the championship is yours again."

One word after another, pushing the atmosphere that has reached its climax to another dimension.

Stern then held up the championship trophy and handed it to Alexander, followed by a tight hug.

When Alexander lifted the championship trophy, the scene was completely blown up.

"The fourth championship in 25 years, two consecutive championships, this is a remarkable achievement, Mr. Alexander, you must be very excited now, what do you want to say most now?" Wait until the scene quiets down, ABC's The female reporter began to interview Alexander.

"Thank you, Mr. Stern, thank you to all the players behind me, Yao, T-mac, and Chauncey, thank you for joining, thank you to all the fans who came out."

"But I want to thank coach Tang Tian the most. We hesitated once. Who would have thought that a 22-year-old young man could lead the team to win the championship, and who would have thought that he could lead the team to defend the championship at the age of 23?"

"But we believed, we chose to believe, and now he has done it, and I believe he will do more, he will bring more championship trophies to Houston, and he will achieve a Rockets dynasty."

Following Alexander's words, the cheers on the scene exploded.

Tang Tian was also a little flattered when the scene was shown to Tang Tian. Alexander's comment was too high.

Although he is indeed quite awesome.

At this time, the reporter naturally turned the microphone to Tang Tian.

"Coach Tang Tian, ​​I saw you." The female reporter walked towards Tang Tian with a smile.

The scene that had just quieted down began to become restless again.

"Tang, the opponents in this year's finals are very strong, and the team has changed a lot in the summer. Can you tell us how to integrate these people and defeat the strong enemy?" The reporter asked.

"Well, because they have an excellent head coach." Tang Tian nodded and said.

The female reporter was taken aback for a moment after hearing this, and then burst out laughing.

The scene also fell into a burst of cheers.

There is nothing wrong with this pretense.

Tang Tian also smiled, and then said in a serious manner: "Because we have an excellent management team composed of Mr. Alexander and Mr. Morey, an excellent coaching staff composed of Tom and Steve, and those who are behind me. With all the guys on this team who trust each other and never give up, and the best Rockets fans out there, it takes a lot to beat a great opponent and I'm thankful we have it all."

When Tang Tian finished speaking, the audience gave him the most sincere cheers and applause.

At this time, Stern was ready to award the Finals MVP.

Bill Russell stood by the table with his hands propped up. Although he was getting older, this trophy, also known as the "Bill Russell Cup", as long as he didn't get up, he would not miss it of.

Everyone at the scene looked at Stern curiously, including the fans at the scene, including Tang Tian.

Last year's finals, Yao Ming's performance was very outstanding, but this year, not only one person stood out.

Yao Ming: Averaged 19.7 points, 12.8 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game, shooting 53% from the field.

McGrady: Averaged 26.8 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game, shooting 49% from the field and 42% from three-pointers.

Millsap: Averaged 17.6 points and 5.6 rebounds per game, shooting 62% from the field. In the last two games of the Finals, his performance was definitely at the MVP level.

The Finals MVP was voted by reporters, so no one can judge who it is, just like when the Spurs won the championship in 2007 in the previous life, many people thought it was Duncan, but it was given to Parker in the end.

Even in the 15 years of the previous life, everyone thought it was Curry, but the reporter finally awarded the trophy to Iguodala who played well.

If the trophy is given to Millsap this year, then the Rockets may really not be able to keep this second-round pick this summer.

Stern picked up the microphone and attracted everyone's attention.

"He's been outstanding going into the playoffs."

Following Stern's first sentence, everyone once again focused on Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady.

"He's been in the league for 11 years."

At this time, the fans started to cheer, and Yao Ming also started to hug McGrady.

"He won the NBA scoring title twice, but never won the Finals MVP, and he did it tonight. Congratulations, Tracy McGrady."

When McGrady's name was read out, there was deafening cheers at the scene, and many fans couldn't hide their tears of excitement.

McGrady's talent is recognized by everyone in the league. He is better than Jordan and Kobe. However, due to injuries and personality, he has been unable to perform. Now he has reached the top twice with this Rockets team. I got the FMVP as I wished. This kind of experience is really touching.

McGrady himself also had red eye circles, and hugged his teammates one by one, feeling a little out of control.

When Bill Russell handed him the trophy, his eyes finally started to cry uncontrollably.

Encouraging applause was given to him at the scene.

"T-mac, you have performed exceptionally well throughout the playoffs. You deserve it. Do you have anything to say?" The reporter handed the microphone to McGrady.

"Thank you Yao, thank you Paul, thank you Chauncey, thank you to all my teammates, thank you to all the fans at the scene, this trophy is not for me alone, it is for everyone."

There was a burst of overwhelming cheers at the scene.

"You thanked everyone, but you seemed to ignore the head coach. Did you leave any special words?" The reporter said with a smile.

"Yes, the coach changed me, saved me, he knew it, so I want to do what Yao didn't do last year."

McGrady walked towards Tang Tian with the microphone in one hand and the FMVP trophy in the other.

"Coach, this trophy is yours now." McGrady said and handed the trophy to Tang Tian.

The fans at the scene paused, and then exploded directly.

"MVP! MVP!"

The neat cheers at the scene pierced the sky.
