Chapter 743 Where Are You Going, Dad Season 3
The confetti fell from the sky, with golden, white and navy covering the entire Kangsaiko Stadium.
Li Liang shouted "Champion". American audiences and fans couldn't understand it. Anyway, they knew that this guy had once again become the big winner of this season.
NBA is cruel. The championship is really important. It is so important that if you can't win the championship, then other glory sometimes becomes a burden not only in the eyes of some people.
For example, regular season VP, the best record in the regular season, the best coach, etc.
This is certainly unfair. Stephen Curry and the Warriors contributed a great season in the regular season. Their devastating performances in the regular season are amazing and destined to be recorded in history, but the footnotes are not so perfect, just because there is no championship.
And the winner wins everything.
Li Liang's reputation and popularity will inevitably reach a peak after this championship, and he is already a legend.
The podium has been laid out in the center of the stadium, and Li Liang stood on this podium for the third time.
Since 2009, the trophy of FVP has been named the Bill Russell Prize, so since then, Bill Russell has received tickets for the annual finals, and he can always come to watch the game on site.
Russell is in his 80s this year. He came to the scene in a wheelchair tonight. This is also the third time he has presented Li Liang with awards.
Li Liang stood on the podium and watched Russell come over with the trophy and put the FVP trophy into his pocket. He couldn't help but hold Russell's hand tightly and said, "Bill, why are you always?"
Russell showed his big white teeth and smiled, "Bruce, I want to ask you this question too."
"How many rings did you take?"
"You can't put your hands on it."
"I will strive to achieve your achievements, and I wish you a hundred years of life."
After saying that, the two of them looked at each other and Xiao Hua, who was standing beside him, was sweating a little.
What does it mean? You also have to wash it for another century? ao Bruce?
Moreover, Xiao Hua couldn't figure out where Li Liang had such a big face, so he just called Russell "Bill". Russell seemed not angry at all, chatting and laughing.
You don't understand this. Li Liang has fought side by side with Russell more than once in the system. He has a deep fighting friendship. What's wrong with calling him Bill directly? Besides, Americans don't have so many rules in terms of titles.
Li Liang held them high for the third time in O'Brien Cup and Bill Russell Cup.
There is no doubt that the past three years of NBA was Li Liang's era, his dynasty, and his own dynasty.
Three years, three teams, three champions, and three finals MVPs.
Li Liang also won the All-Star VP this year, scoring champion, first team, and best defensive second team.
He is the well-deserved biggest winner this season and the most unique king in basketball.
Li Liang gave a affectionate speech to tens of thousands of fans on the spot
"I spent a great season here and I saw the most enthusiastic, professional and amazing fans of NBA. This made me motivated on the road to winning the championship because I knew there would be many people cheering, ecstatic and remembering them for their whole life. I am honored to be your memory, an unforgettable memory."
Kangsaike Stadium recalled the endless applause and cheers, and the call for "one season" resounded throughout the audience. Li Liang muttered in his heart, "I didn't say I was going to retire?"
Of course, Li Liang knew that the Pacers fans hoped he could stay, but his mission here has been completed.
He has won the championship and has seen enough stars. He wants to see something else.
In the Walker's locker room, the champagne was turned on and the cigar was ignited, and everyone celebrated wildly.
Kevin Garnett won the championship for the second time, and his joy remained unabated. For NBA players, there was nothing more obsessed with them than the championship.
Larry Bird showed a bright smile on his face. He had basically never seen much of his laughter all season, and only at this time did he laugh.
Bird and Li Liang hugged each other with a lovely embrace, a perfect collaboration and an impressive season.
For Bird, his basketball life has been completed, and as a player, he has both the Most Valuable Player and the Championship.
As a coach, general manager, best coach, best general manager, plus the championship, he won it, and he has no regrets in his life.
Bird looked at Li Liang, both of his clothes were soaked with champagne. Bird said, "Bruce, where are you going to next stop?"
Fans hope that Li Liang can stay, but Bird knew in his heart that Li Liang would not stay.
If he wants to stay, he will not sign a two-year contract, and the second year is still the player option.
Both sides have their own choices. This season is over and Bird has begun to make plans for next season.
Both of them understood people, and Li Liang replied, "Where are you going to trade me?"
Bird said, "I will respect your choices, but you'd better not stay in the East."
"East...to be honest, the East is really boring."
The two looked at each other and reached an agreement.
To trade Li Liang away, Bird definitely doesn't want him to stay in the East. He is not the Cavaliers management. He sent Li Liang to Indiana for George, but in the end there was no scene in the finals.
Bird still has a lot of cards in his hand, and they will have room to sign big fish this summer.
It’s hard to say whether you win the championship or not. There’s no need to worry about the Pacers’ results and box office for the time being.
...
At night, the whole city of Inn entered a carnival, which was a sleepless night about basketball.
The fans and masses celebrating in the streets and alleys did not gradually disperse until the next morning, bringing a perfect end to the season.
With the help of Li Liang, there is another one on the list of NBA's teams that have won the championship.
It can be said that the cause of targeted poverty alleviation has achieved very good results.
Just the second day after the finals, after the championship was over, the media industry began to look forward to the next season while reviewing the finals.
The only topic that attracts the most attention next season is where Li Liang will go.
It has become a consensus among the public that Li Liang has to move his nest every summer, so this has become a grand scene in the NBA, making the long-term grass period no longer lonely.
And this year will undoubtedly be particularly lively, because the Pacers have proved how powerful he is as a single core.
The changes he has brought to the team are definitely qualitative changes. Strong teams like the Pacers who are already in decline can win the championship after going there, and at least half of the NBA teams have hope. (Many people ignore Bird's superb transactions.)
So, the recruitment began the day after the finals.
Fans show their own magical powers. Some build websites, some post, some launch signature activities, and some run naked. Anyway, it is to attract Li Liang's attention and make the news bigger, the better. It means let Li Liang help the poor - no, win the championship together.
Especially for teams that have never won the championship, from fans to management, it is very positive.
Bird's phone had been blown up long ago.
The bosses of each team also issued statements, such as the Knicks boss, said bluntly, "Come to New York, you can do whatever you want, you can trade me."
Forget it, what's the use of asking you? Is it bad?
Li Liang's market is so good, it's so good.
But Li Liang himself was not in a hurry. There was an even more urgent thing waiting for his parents to see Zhu Shu, and at the same time he was going to see Zhu Shu's parents...
As for the transaction, please let the bullets fly for a while.
After a week of celebrating the championship, Li Liang and Zhu Shu flew back to China.
Leave the American people to be jealous for themselves and see the situation before talking about it.
Because Li Liang did not release the news for the time being, the popularity of the media gradually declined.
In addition, the draft is coming, and everyone's attention is on the draft.
But soon, there was a big news in the players market that Spurs' small forward Kawyne Leonard will not renew his contract with the Spurs and become a restricted free agent.
Chapter completed!
