Chapter 309 The 2002~2003 NBA Championship! (Seeking the Moon(2/2)
The brief celebration over there is temporarily over, and the two teams will complete the final handshake gift.
“The future is yours.”
When Jordan and Sun Hao shook hands, they gave the latter a deep hug.
“…”
Sun Hao didn't expect Jordan to say this too.
But unlike Duncan's joking thing, Jordan's words are true.
His journey to NBA has come to an end here, and the future is the era for young people.
Sun Hao defeated him to the top, and was undoubtedly one of the best in the early 19th century.
Even from the performance of the finals alone, one of that can be removed.
After the handshake gift, Jordan did not go back to the locker room with the others, but sat on the sidelines and waited on the bench.
The Mavericks members returned to the locker room to change their championship clothes, and the championship awards were arranged on the spot.
When Stern saw that Jordan was still there, he went over and chatted with him for a while.
In the past two seasons of Jordan's comeback, the role it has played in promoting the NBA has been huge, including this finals.
If it weren't for Jordan, Sun Hao and Nowitzki alone would obviously not be able to achieve this ratings.
This is also the reason why Jordan publicly diss the league as he didn't see it.
No one is perfect. When you accept some people’s shortcomings, you will find that most people actually have a successful side.
"Will you stay in Washington?"
While chatting, Stern also expected what happened after Jordan retired.
"Yes, but I'm going to give myself a vacation."
Jordan said and patted his knees.
Rumors about his knee injury before the game were true, and the team doctor also advised him not to play in this game.
But he didn't allow him to do this in his heart, so he still beat him.
The consequence of the fight is that he probably needs to take a while to get out.
Otherwise, his walking for the rest of his life might be affected.
Stern nodded with a smile.
There is nothing wrong with Jordan staying with the Wizards.
If possible, it would be even better to become the owner of the Wizards in the future.
The league needs topicality, and Jordan is the best topic.
At this moment, the staff there reminded him that the award ceremony was about to begin. After saying hello to Jordan, he also got up and walked to the center of the stage.
The fans who had previously flocked to the court have returned to their seats.
Although the game has ended, there are no fans leaving the field, but some fans outside the field sneak in, making the National Route Center stadium even more crowded.
But that doesn’t affect it, because the award ceremony requires this kind of atmosphere!
The Mavericks' players came back out of the player channel.
They have already put on T-shirts with the championship logo embroidered on their chests, put on the hats that belong to the championship, and stepped into the championship footsteps!
When they appeared, the cheers at the scene could not be stopped.
This is their championship team!
Sun Hao and the others felt the enthusiasm of the fans and waved their hands to respond.
When he first came to Dallas, he was indeed uncomfortable with some of the racist problems here.
But when he didn't pay attention to those things and focused on the stadium, he found that Dallas was the most enthusiastic place for American fans.
The team members were guided to stand in the center of the stage.
Stern picked up the microphone and gave some opening remarks.
"We have witnessed the God of Basketball's curtain call with a lot of legendary records, and also witnessed the strong birth of a great team after that. There is no doubt that this is the most exciting finals ever!"
Of course, Stern would mention Jordan, but this time the God of Basketball failed to become the protagonist, but just became a foil.
"The 2003 NBA championship is... the Dallas Mavericks!"
When Stern officially announced the result, the National Route Center Arena was once again in an uproar, and it was the climax after the game.
I know the result is different from the official announcement.
Just like when you and a girl go to a hotel, the moment the hotel room is closed is the time when you really make your blood boil.
After Stern finished speaking, Lord of the Rings Bill Russell handed the trophy belonging to the championship to Cuban.
After Cuban kissing, he handed it to the old Nelson behind him. After taking a photo, he handed it to the team members behind him.
The team members kissed each other. This era is not 2020. Don’t worry about contagion or something. Glory is over!
In the end, Old Nelson and Cuban stood in the middle and held the trophy in their hands. Nowitzki got a lot of champagne from somewhere, each with one.
Before taking the photo, the Mavericks members had already swayed behind them.
When the photo started, they all took it out and sprayed it forward at Old Nelson and Cuban.
The scene of Cuban and Old Nelson dodging was frozen by the photographer.
This photo is extremely precious.
Of course, a photo is definitely not enough. You and your wife come with a trophy in their arms, and my son and I come with one too.
For players, this is the most treasured moment in their lives.
At this moment, the last award was being selected on site.
fmvp, which is the most valuable player in the finals.
The selection of fmvp is different from that of mvp, and he is more crude and simple.
There are 11 mainstream media outlets, and the person who gets the most votes is fmvp.
There is still some suspense about the ownership of fmvp.
There are only three people who may have won this award.
Nowitzki, Sun Hao, and Jordan.
Jordan will appear on this list. On the one hand, Jerry West has been elected as a loser in history, and on the other hand, it is naturally sentiment and expression.
Jordan has played 6 games, including G6's bravery, averaged 25.2 points, 5.3 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game, shooting percentage of 45%, and 100% of three-pointers (1 shot).
Such performance is undoubtedly historical for a 40-year-old veteran.
Because of Sun Hao and the fans' excitement, Jordan can really be said to have spewed out all his last energy, and there was not a single drop left.
So he also has a certain chance to be elected.
Of course, the probability is obviously greater than Jordan, Nowitzki and Sun Hao.
Because it's not only this finals, but the past whole season, they have made the league feel their growth and strength.
Chapter completed!
