Versatile Point Forward

Chapter 401 We Are the Champions
After entering the locker room, Ye Feng was sprayed with a large bottle of champagne as soon as he opened the door. This is also an unwritten rule of the championship. Before the awards ceremony, everyone always goes to the locker room to celebrate and spray champagne That's how they celebrate.

As the team's number one contributor to the championship, Ye Feng naturally enjoyed unusual treatment.In addition to being sprayed with a bottle by Matthews as soon as he entered the door, young people such as Batum, Aldridge, Mills and Cunningham also picked up champagne and sprayed him on him.Everyone knew in their hearts that without Ye Feng, this game would never be won, and they might even lose the championship. The more champagne they sprayed on Ye Feng, the more they expressed their respect and love for this young leader.

After being drenched, Ye Feng unscrupulously directed everyone to turn their "firepower" to the coaching staff who were watching the show, especially the head coach McMillan.This is the second team he has coached in earnest. He used to be the head coach of his home team, the Seattle SuperSonics. Except for Ray Allen and Lewis, there is no one who can be used much, and he can be regarded as a budding figure if he can challenge Popovich.

After switching to the Trail Blazers that summer, McMillan still had a group of high-salary and low-energy players. He drastically used these huge contracts that were about to expire to exchange for a lot of lottery picks.Everyone knows that having a lottery pick does not mean that you will have a star of tomorrow. It is also very difficult to pick out the real gold with your own eyes, and McMillan has also done this. People have to admire this young man. The head coach's eyes.

Roy, Aldridge, Batum, Ye Feng, Webster, Oden... This large group of young talents were all discovered by McMillan's discerning people. The No. 6 pick selected Ye Feng and last summer he advocated a ten-million-dollar contract to win Matthews, making the Trail Blazers the champion of this season.One of the ten greatest players in the history of the Seattle SuperSonics, finally let the rose bloom again in Portland!

After arguing for a while, everyone hurriedly took a shower, put on the championship T-shirts that had been prepared earlier, and returned to the stadium talking and laughing all the way.This is what they have prepared for a long time. Who made them lead 3-1 before?Regardless of home or away, the team's staff will take this big bag of T-shirts with them.

In the center of the court at the American Airlines Arena, a podium has been set up, but it still looks a bit crude, after all, no team wants to see their opponents win the cup on their own territory.After the Heat's players congratulated their opponents, they had already returned to the locker room of the home team. The door was locked, and even the most gossip reporters couldn't get any news. God knows what they were doing in the locker room.

But it’s worth thinking about it. Although the Heat only had the second-best regular season record in the Eastern Conference this season, if you look at it by time period, their winning percentage after the All-Star Game is the highest in the league. I think it’s because the Big Three have finished their run-in. reason.But just when the Miami people were full of confidence and ready to win the championship, the Blazers turned out and smashed their championship dream directly. How could the entire Heat team have a good face?
But this has nothing to do with the Blazers, now they just need to enjoy the joy of victory.

League President Stern and NBA legend Russell jointly presented the O'Brien Cup to the Trail Blazers. Touching the gold cup in his hand, Ye Feng felt that this was really like a dream. Which player in the third grade could win the O'Brien Cup with What about the core identity leading the team to win the championship?Jordan couldn't do it, and Kobe couldn't do it either. Well, there is actually Wade, but Wade has O'Neal by his side, but his most capable comrade-in-arms can only watch the awards ceremony in front of the TV.

The cold touch of the O'Brien Cup told Ye Feng that this is not a dream, this is reality, an irrefutable reality.For the Blazers, the results of this period of reconstruction have greatly exceeded original expectations. Although they reached the finals last season, they can't believe that they can win the championship this season.

Stern took turns shaking hands with the players of the Trail Blazers. When he walked in front of Ye Feng, he took a deep look at Ye Feng and said, "Congratulations, although this is not the first time I have won the championship on the podium. I saw Chinese players on the Internet, but this is the first time I saw Chinese players being surrounded by teammates in the middle of the whole team. You have created a miracle, young man, I think your motherland will be proud of you !"

Ye Feng smiled and shook hands with this shrewd Jewish old man, and said: "Mr. President, I don't think I have made many contributions. These are the things I should do as a team leader. This championship does not belong to me. It belongs to the whole of Portland, the whole Trail Blazers, everyone who supports us."

Stern smiled, nodded, and continued to shake hands with Aldridge who was standing beside Ye Feng.After carefully chewing on Stern's words just now, Ye Feng realized that he was not the first Chinese to win the championship. Battelle and Sun Yue both wore championship rings with their respective teams. Of course, they were among the teams. His status is completely incomparable with his own, and to some extent he is stronger than them.

Afterwards, Russell awarded the Finals MVP trophy to Ye Feng, and he deserved this trophy.Putting aside the return of the king in the fifth game of the finals, just looking at his personal data and his role in the team's tactical system, it is unmatched.A quasi-triple-double of 31.2 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 10.1 assists per game is also rare in NBA history. No matter who awarded him the Finals MVP, he can't fault it.

For this junior, Russell is also very encouraging, and Ye Feng also has to admire the hard work of the old man who attends the championship award ceremony every year. You must know that Russell was born in 1934 and is 77 years old this year. Coming to Miami to present the awards is really hard work.However, his status in the NBA is unique. No one can surpass his 11 championships so far. He is the founder of the Celtics dynasty.

This is also the second championship trophy in the history of the Trail Blazers. It has been 1976 years since they won the championship for the first time in the 77-34 season. Everyone in the team was not born when they won the championship last time. Championships are precious.Queen's classic "We are the champions" resounded throughout the audience, ribbons and fireworks fell from the sky, Ye Feng kissed the trophy in his hand, this moment was completely frozen in history by the camera.
