Chapter 442 is just the beginning(1/2)
If a season is compared to a movie, then when the final whistle sounds at the end of the final battle, it is when the movie ends with the ending song and the list of actors and staff.
The two teams' hypocritical greetings, awards, and cheers from fans are just easter eggs.
Xie Hou put the towel on the bench and turned around to hug his teammates.
One after another, usually, this is the process he hates the most, but now he enjoys it so much.
The first time I won the championship was two years ago. The Pacers were strong and powerful, but Xie Hou, who was just a rookie, did not understand the difficulty of this, and he didn't feel much.
Through this championship, he completed a season of personal performances that are numerous in history.
He averaged 31 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists per game in the regular season, averaged 33 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists per game in the playoffs, and averaged 35 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists per game in the finals.
The Eastern Conference Player of the Month that won the season;
One round, one defense, mvp, fmvp, champion.
I won’t mention those fancy and whistle-toned records, just embellishments.
"I swear, Larry has never performed better than you in any season!" Claire said to Xie Hou excitedly.
Xie Hou smiled and hugged Claire and accepted his praise: "Although Larry will be angry, I agree with you."
The teammates on the court celebrated in various ways, while Xie Hou was responsible for greeting everyone.
Teammates first, then opponents.
The first one is Nowitzki.
The performance in the first quarter will bring him a lot of bad stuff, but from the whole audience, it is actually not that difficult to accept.
11 shots in 27 shots, you know, he scored 2 of 11 shots at one point.
The Pacers took advantage of Nowitzki's poor condition to establish a lead, and maintained high-intensity offense and defense at the end, and won the victory with a real championship-level game.
"I don't really want to congratulate others," Nowitzki said with a heavy face, "but you play well and deserve the victory."
Xie Hou said lightly: "It's a pity that you didn't play well enough."
Upon hearing this, the German chariot's eyes magnified slightly, as if they were going to say something. Maybe they felt it was unnecessary, so they swallowed the words to their mouths.
Secondly, Peja, Josh Howard, Devin Harris...
These people have brought certain difficulties to the Pacers in the competition, but due to their own strength, they cannot continue their influence throughout the entire series.
Xie Hou originally wanted to say a few words to the young general, but he had been suspended.
Ailly Lanzi, who took over the coaching job, did not help the Mavericks win. If the coach of the championship team asked him, he would not be strong enough. If he simply regarded him as a firefighter, he did a good job.
"Congratulations on winning the championship." Lanqi looked for his opponent and fell to the sour waterway, "For your blessing, my future has become dim."
Xie Hou had no choice but to say, "Sir, don't be discouraged. Dallas doesn't want you, Indiana welcomes you."
Lan Qi didn't expect Xie Hou to take his discouraged words seriously, but just laughed dryly and said nothing else.
Players greet you, and coaches should also greet you.
In the Pacers' locker room, the sacred champagne battlefield was successfully opened.
Xie Hou likes to play. Due to his identity as a captain, he has to behave correctly and make himself look more serious.
Now that the game has ended, he doesn't have to pretend anymore
He excitedly opened the champagne and sprayed it at everyone who fell into sight.
His attacks are not distinguished. Whether it is your teammates, coaching staff, or Larry Bird, who helped Walsh come in to explore the way, was sprayed like a soup bird.
"You are too presumptuous!" Bird felt sorry for the destruction of his suit that he had spent 20,000 US dollars, and was furious.
"Larry, why are you?" Xie Hou stopped and his teammates stopped.
Bird seems to be very majestic?
"It's almost enough, stop making trouble!" Bird God really thought his majesty would work if he put it in this situation.
Did he forget how many people are usually stimulated by him to express his feelings of "being sorry for being born"?
"That's right, it's him!" Xie Hou identified the bird's head and opened a new bottle of champagne and sprayed it over.
Xie Hou was like a black sheep leading the way to run a red light. With him in front of him, everyone else was fighting for the first place, and they even squirted at Bird.
Bird thought he was old and would no longer do boring things easily.
But, he couldn't help it.
Passively being beaten was not his style, so he picked up a bottle of champagne and sprayed it back.
Even management executives like Bird, who are under one person, are involved, how can the coaching staff control the situation?
Donny Walsh clearly asked Bird to come in to explore the way, but he had to take a sneak glance without waiting for the reply.
At this moment, something bad happened.
I don’t know who was not open to his eyes. When I saw Walsh hesitating for a few seconds, then saw Bird, who was sprayed soaked in wetness, I thought to myself, the legendary Larry is like this, why should the General Manager be spared?
Team Director, Team General Manager? It should be no different.
I don’t know who shot Walsh the first shot, but Walsh was also sprayed all over the place.
After suppressing them for a year, they released all negative energy into this play that would not cause direct damage.
After more than ten minutes, no one could keep his clothes neatly.
Walsh didn't expect the player to be so unrestrained. Just as he was about to educate him, he saw Bird being sprayed so much that his hairstyle was messy. His clothes customized in high-end suits could basically be declared scrapped.
Even Bird is like this, he has nothing to say.
"Young guys," Walsh swears in his heart, but his affinity to share the same joy with the people, "Congratulations on your winnings. On behalf of our boss, I convey their meaning: I am excited about your success this year, the management and the board of directors, and optimistic about the future of the team, and to commend your contribution, the prize money of each player who appears in the playoffs has doubled."
The Pacers' regular season bonus is 200,000, the playoff bonus is 300,000, and the championship bonus is 500,000.
Looking at it alone, there are many, but if separated, there are not many.
The bonus doubled, but for those players with basic salary, it would be a considerable income.
The locker room started to make a fuss again, and educated people began to sing the boss's hymns. Those who were not educated just waited until those educated people finished their literary talent and attached a sentence "I'm the same."
A mere tens of thousands of bonuses would not make Xie Hou too excited. He was just excited by the people around him.
"We have a few big things to do next. Although it has nothing to do with the result, each of you must dress up well, don't spray champagne anymore." The final words revealed Walsh's dissatisfaction with the Champagne War.
Fortunately, the battle was in a stalemate just now, and Walsh didn't know who fired at him.
That man was extremely bold and tended to despise management. If Walsh knew who it was, he would definitely find a way to trade him - unless he was Xie Hou or other core.
Walsh didn't see the attacker clearly, only knew one thing: after the beginning of that person, everyone participated, and maybe even Bird would have a share.
Xie Hou and his teammates changed into championship T-shirts.
Some people even took a shower before changing clothes.
Outside the locker room, the players' families are waiting, and they can stand on the podium with the players.
Usually, the family members will wait and see the audience.
Some character players share moments of glory with their children in their arms.
With a core like Xie Hou, he wants to hold the O'Brien Cup and the FMVP trophy, so he has no chance of holding the child like this.
The audience cheered and the players came on stage.
David Stern announced the championship against the booing of the fans.
Boosters will always be with him until he pronounces the name of the winning team.
Wait until he pronounced the loud name.
"I announce that this year's championship is (boosting) - the Indiana Pacers!"
Fans turn to shout like they are split.
Claire first held the cup, and then handed the trophy to Xie Hou.
Xie Hou held most of the trophy so that his teammates around him could touch it. This was something they had won back after fighting for more than half a year, and everyone should touch it.
"Basically, touch it!" Xie Hou shouted.
"No, it's just a trophy," Wang Zhizhi remembered the scenery of sweeping CBA back then, "I've touched too much."
Xie Hou smiled and said, "Believe me, this is a completely different feeling!"
"Give him some spots, Zhuzhu is shy!"
"Let some place, brothers!"
Artest and others gave up their positions, and Wang Zhizhi finally put his hand on the O'Brien Cup. Xie Hou was satisfied and asked everyone to pick up the trophy.
The photographer took the photo and this was Xie Hou's second championship, but he was the most dominant champion.
This is a symbol of his and the Walker reaching their peak.
fmvp, no suspense.
"Only idiots and racists don't choose Arthur as the Finals' Most Valuable Player," Leonard said.
