Chapter 887 The 4th Personal Crown
This is the first NBA championship in the history of the Thunder (if not counting the history of the Sonics), and it is also the first NBA championship of Westbrook, Paojiao and others!
Ribbons were falling from the sky above the Ford Center Arena, and the scene was completely crazy.It's good to win the championship at home. You don't have to deliberately create an atmosphere, it will come out naturally.
This is the fourth championship of Xie Kai's NBA career. After a lapse of one year, he returned to the game and once again proved to the world that he is still the strongest player in the league.He proved that in the Grizzlies' three consecutive championships, he didn't hold his thighs, he was the thickest thigh.
After NBA President Silver said a lot of nonsense, amidst the applause and cheers at the scene, he raised the O'Brien Cup and planned to hand it to the Thunder.
Xie Kai motioned Westbrook to pick up the trophy, which made Westbrook very grateful.This team, obviously, Xie Kai is the best player, and Westbrook is the soul of the team.
Xie Kai's modesty made many Thunder fans feel more favorable towards him.
Major General West held up the trophy, and other Thunder players reached out and touched the trophy, feeling this unusual happiness.
The trophy was passed among the people, and finally it reached the hands of coach Donovan. For him, this championship is the best proof of his coaching achievements.
Next, Mr. Bill Russell appeared on the stage, and the cheers on the scene went to another level.Everyone knows that the FMVP trophy will be awarded soon.
The Thunder players all applauded, and they all set their sights on Xie Kai. There is no doubt that this award is not him, but who else it will be.
In the introduction of the live host, Xie Kai was unanimously elected as the FMVP of the 2016-17 season.
Xie Kai took over the FMVP trophy from Bill Russell, who kindly encouraged him.
Xie Kai is very happy, this is not the first time he has won this award, but this time it has a special meaning.You must know that coming back after a serious injury and returning to the peak, the difficulties in the middle are really unimaginable for ordinary people.In order to be able to become the top player of the league pyramid again, he really paid too much.
Xie Kai held the trophy in his hand and said facing the microphone: "I'm very happy, we won the championship! Before I decided to come here in the offseason last year, I told Russ that I came here not just to play Brother basketball, I am here to win the championship. I am very happy that everything has come true now, and this championship belongs to everyone.”
After Xie Kai finished speaking, the Ford Center Arena was full of cheers again.Thunder fans thought that the team would win the championship one day, but they never imagined that the championship would come so fast a year ago, let alone that it would be Xie Kai who led them to the championship.They have always believed that the team will lead the team to win the head star Kevin Durant.
This is definitely a night for the Thunder. Oklahoma City will have a sleepless night tonight.
In the locker room of the home team, Xie Kai and Westbrook exchanged champagne, and veteran Collison burst into tears.As the oldest player on the team, he finally tasted the taste of a championship in the twilight of his career.
Paojiao is also emotional. At this time in previous years, he was already fishing, but now there are still games to play in June. This is something he couldn't even imagine in the Pacers before.
But all this happened, it was indeed like a dream.
The 2016-17 season finally came to an end with the Thunder team winning the championship. The long 82 regular season games, the fierce playoffs, and finally G5 in the finals drew a successful conclusion to this season.
After this season, Xie Kai once again proved that he is still the strongest man in the league. Although the regular season MVP and other awards have not been announced yet, everything shows that it is only a matter of time before he wins the regular season MVP after a season. .
The day after the Thunder won the championship, the team announced through the mayor of Oklahoma City that they will hold a championship parade on June 6.This is a big deal for Oklahoma City, as this is the first time the Thunder have had a championship parade.
After winning the championship until the 16th, the Thunder organized several more celebration parties. Xie Kai felt that he hadn't drunk as much in the past few days as he had drunk all season.
On the 16th, the weather in Oklahoma City was very good and cloudless, which was very suitable for the championship parade.
Xie Kai and Westbrook were sitting on the first float. They were wearing T-shirts that won the championship. Xie Kai was in a very good mood with a cigar in his mouth.Xie Kai's mother Chen Guixiang, his wife Zhou Jing, Westbrook's wife Nina and others were on a float with them. It can be said that they were all dispatched.
The local TV station in Oklahoma City devoted almost all of its staff to report on the scene. They used drones and other equipment to broadcast the scene live from multiple angles.
The fans in Oklahoma City are very enthusiastic. It is the first time to win the championship, which shocked the fans the most.
Xie Kai has experienced this. When he won the championship for the first time in Memphis 4 years ago, the reaction of the local fans at that time was very similar to the reaction of the Oklahoma City fans today.
This is also the charm of competitive sports. The champion makes the people of this city immersed in happiness and makes everyone feel proud.
After the championship celebration, the major event of the Thunder team this season is completely over.Then came the official offseason, the long draft period, and the team management will be busy, because there are many things waiting for them to do, such as player contract renewals, free market and so on.
Xie Kai wanted to go back to China, but he didn't go back because he was going to attend the annual awards ceremony on June 6.
These few days, Xie Kai enjoyed his life well. He lived a petty bourgeois life in his own villa in Los Angeles, very comfortable.It's fun to win the championship, even if you go fishing, the meaning is different.
In the draft on June 6, the Thunder did not gain much because their draft picks had already been sent out.But for them, even if there is a first-round pick, based on their record last season, it is still a late first-round pick, and the value is not great.Moreover, their goal is to win the championship, and they don't have much time and opportunity for newcomers to level up.
The championship team attracts veterans who aspire to the championship with a basic salary to vote, which is a more economical and affordable way to reinforce.
The NBA Annual Awards Ceremony starts from the 2016-2017 season, and the purpose is to present awards to players who have performed outstandingly during the season after the end of the season.
This is also one of the reforms Xiao Hua made after he came to power. Of course, this reform was criticized as soon as it was launched, because the season is over. , is a very embarrassing thing.
The host of this year's annual award ceremony will be the famous artist Derek, and the famous female singer Nicki Minaj will perform during the award ceremony.
Stars such as Carter, Nuo Tianwang and Sharks will attend this awards ceremony as guests.
