Chapter 286 The Secret Plan
On the evening of the 27th, the Staples Center was full of seats and the voices were buzzing.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the following is the NBA 2009-2010 season championship ring awarding ceremony, please invite NBA co-president David Stern, and Los Angeles Clippers co-executive chairman Andy Russell."
The announcer's voice fell, cheers and applause resounded throughout the arena, and the lights of the stadium focused on the midfield.David Stern walked slowly to the middle circle, where the O'Brien trophy was placed, and Andy Russell stood beside him smiling and applauding.
"I have a lot to say about congratulations! First, I want to congratulate all the Los Angeles Clippers fans on the long wait for the first championship in franchise history, which you deserve ..."
Stern put down the microphone, raised his hand and waved at the audience, and the cheers resounded through the arena again.
"To Sam Hinkie and his entire team, Jeff Van Gundy and his entire team, the Donald Sterling family, Su Yang, the most successful rookie player in NBA history, and many others, congratulations on making history."
"I wish you better results in the future, let's start awarding the rings."
Stern put down the microphone and walked to Andy Russell. The two shook hands, and cheers resounded throughout the audience.
The DJ immediately changed to the solemn background music, and the camera on the central big screen moved to the sidelines, scanning the fitness coach, chief team doctor, assistant coach Kim Hughes, assistant coach Stevens and others one by one, and everyone raised their hands to signal on the ring.
The fans applauded, and the announcer shouted everyone's name, a total of fifteen, and then shouted: "Now, please ask the head coach Jeff Van Gundy to receive the championship ring..."
The central large screen lens shifted focus, Jeff Van Gundy slowly got up, walked straight to the middle circle amidst the cheers of the fans, took the ring from David Stern, took the microphone from the cheerleaders, and raised his left hand to show .
"This is everything I fight for, such a beautiful championship ring, I love him to death!"
"I want to thank everyone who worked hard for this championship, especially the few players who are not here tonight, they are Matt Barnes, Steve Blake, Travis Outro, Deluge Den, Wesley Matthews, including Marcus Camby, as well as El Thornton, Brian Skinner, and Steve Novak…
Without your efforts, we would not be able to stand here to receive the championship ring tonight, thank you! "
Su Yang took the lead in applauding. Originally, he wanted to say the same, thanking everyone who had contributed to this championship.
The applause and cheers continued, Van Gundy pondered for a moment, and continued: "Now I want Chris Kaman to speak out. You always say that he occupies the space of the team and does nothing, but he is actually the main scoring point of our bench lineup."
Boos and cheers sounded at the same time, and Kaman was shown on the central big screen, and he walked slowly to the middle circle.
After receiving the ring from Stern, Kaman said awkwardly: "Please believe me, I will strive to do better. The following is a strong defensive player who has the ability to block all but Su Yang. The ability of any player to…”
The scene suddenly burst into laughter, Su Yang looked at Xiao Qiaodan deliberately, only to see Xiao Qiaodan spread his hands helplessly.
At the championship ring ceremony, the players introduced their next teammate to the field, which was basically a business bragging.The embarrassing thing is that although Kaman did praise Jordan, he invisibly elevated Su Yang's status, making it seem that Jordan's defense is not that good.
Amidst the laughter, Jordan went to the middle circle to receive the ring, put it on his hand and held it up high for display.
"Usually, I'm a shy person, especially in front of a lot of people. But now, I feel like I'm at home. The players I introduce below, entered the draft in the same year as me..."
Amidst the cheers, Gordon stepped forward to receive the ring, held it in his hand for a long time, and began to deliver his acceptance speech.
With a few simple words, Gordon changed the subject: "The player I'm going to introduce next is my best big brother..."
The Clippers applauded after hearing the words, and Davis stepped out with a smile, waving all the way to the middle circle.After him, Randolph and Russell Butler followed closely to receive the ring, and Tucker became the penultimate player to receive the ring.
"A year ago, I was playing basketball in a small place called Ukraine in Eastern Europe. After the season ended, I was worried about my next contract, until one night, my agent called me and said that the latest NBA No. [-] player, Designate to invite me to play for the Los Angeles Clippers." While Tucker was speaking, he kept looking at Su Yang on the sidelines.
"Yes, that person is Su Yang. I checked the information on the Internet, and he is simply the chosen one."
"At that time, my first reaction was that my agent was joking. At that time, I had already given up my dream of playing in the NBA. Like many players, I planned to rely on overseas contracts until I retired. It is impossible for anyone in the NBA to pay attention to me."
"The agent told me repeatedly that it was true, and I just set foot on the flight back to the United States. After I rushed to the Clippers to report, I was very curious about Su Yang and wanted to get to know him slowly, but I sent my favorite AJ directly. sneakers, and visiting my house as a friend, I quickly understood and was convinced that he really appreciates my work on defense."
"Now, I want to solemnly thank Su Yang for letting me regain my confidence in basketball."
Tucker raised his hands, the audience stood up and applauded, and the background music reached the most exciting part.
Su Yang stepped forward quickly, high-fived Tucker and bumped shoulders, and took the ring from Stern.
"Wow…"
Su Yang looked down at the ring and said with a smile, "This is very interesting..."
The cheers did not stop, Su Yang paused for a moment, and then said: "I want to thank all the fans, thank you for always supporting us, without you as a solid backing, we would not be able to accomplish such an amazing achievement..."
"I don't have much to say, but you guys know I'm a man of my word..."
"So I promise you, we will defend our title, and next year, you will come here to participate in the ceremony!"
The cheers burst instantly, like dozens of thunderclaps at the same time, and the fans on the scene became extremely fanatical.
Su Yang turned around and handed the microphone to co-executive chairman Andy Russell, and raised his hand to signal temporary silence.
The cheers stopped suddenly, and Andy nodded slightly, and then said: "Thank you to everyone who has worked hard for the championship. Then I want to say that last night, our agreement to acquire the arena has been reached.
I also assure you that soon, all Clippers fans will have an arena that is completely their own!He will have the most advanced technology and the most comfortable viewing experience, let us wait for that day to come! "
After Andy finished speaking, the audience exclaimed.
This news came suddenly, there had been no rumors before, and it was a completely secret plan.
After a short exclamation, cheers rang through the arena, and all Clippers fans were excited.
After all, the history of the Lakers in Staples is too thick, even if the record surpasses, it is difficult to replace.
In the ESPN commentary booth, the host Brin said with a smile: "OK, now let's enter the game part and talk about this Mavericks team. Why is Su Yang regarded as a strong enemy on the road to the championship?"
