Chapter 245 Celebration
As the final whistle sounded, paper flowers and ribbons spewed out of the sky, floating in the sky above the FedEx Arena.
As early as the end of the third quarter, all the home fans stood up to celebrate the victory, and this time it was even crazier.
All the players of the Grizzlies rushed to the field and hugged each other.Matt Barnes hugged the game ball tightly and smiled brightly.Big Ben kept hammering his chest, and he was very excited to win a championship at the end of his career.
Compared with the Gasol brothers hugging each other and crying, Li Chongxiao seemed much calmer. This is not the first time he has received this honor.
He started with Rondo, embraced the Celtics players one by one, and then the coaching staff.When he was chatting with Rivers, he had a premonition that he might be the coach of another team next time.
Danny Ainge dared to suggest that the team sell the injured Bird when he was playing. As the general manager, he would definitely find a suitable scapegoat to bear the consequences of losing the three-year finals.
After hugging your opponent, all that's left is to celebrate yourself.Li Chongxiao hugged every Grizzlies player, told them they did a great job, and enjoyed every teammate's thanks and praise for him.
Every Grizzlies player knows who is the biggest contributor to leading them all the way and defeating all opponents.
Then Li Chongxiao and Carlisle greeted each other. He really thanked each other for his patience and generosity. He gave himself great autonomy and enough space to play, thus helping him to play his best.
After all the celebrations were over, Li Chongxiao, Jerry West and Heisley talked and laughed happily, waiting for the podium to be set up.
……
The awards ceremony began, and amidst flashing lights, Stern read out the name of the 2009~2010 season championship winner—the Grizzlies.Then he handed the trophy to Grizzlies owner Heisley and congratulated him.
Heisley said that when he bought the team, he also looked forward to the arrival of the championship, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly, and he was a little caught off guard.
He thanked Jerry West for building the team, Carlisle for training the team, and finally thanked the players for their efforts, especially Li Chongxiao, who was like a god.
The championship trophy was passed among the players, Li Chongxiao was very humble, Battier was the first to get the trophy, and then he took it over and held it high.
The atmosphere at the scene was also very warm. The audience outside the venue in front of the big screen not only did not decrease, but also increased. Today is a festival for the entire city of Memphis.
After the championship trophy was awarded, it was followed by the Finals Most Valuable Player.There is no suspense in this one, and it must be Li Chongxiao.
六场总决赛他的得分分别是60、46、48、43、56和54分。
In the history of the NBA, only five masters have scored 50+ points in the finals, and Li Chongxiao rewrote this number to 8.
In front of him, this is the Lakers star Elgin Baylor's 61 points.It's not that Li Chongxiao couldn't surpass. In the last few minutes of the first game of the finals, everyone persuaded him to play for a while. His reply was: "There will be opportunities in the future, and I don't want to be accompanied by a failure on record."
With an average of 51.2 points per game, it is no wonder that Stern directly reported his name when he announced the list, saying that this is "the greatest scoring performance in NBA history."
In addition to scoring, he was also able to get 8.5 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 4.7 steals and 2.5 blocks, all of which were the highest in the team.
Of course, this kind of performance cannot be called a single-core team leader. After a few years, when these teammates grow into All-Stars, later fans will say that the Grizzlies lineup is too luxurious.
Just like the eight consecutive Celtics, people always say that there are too many stars in this team, so it is so strong.And sometimes, it is because the team has won more honors that players become stars.
As a legend of the Celtics, Mr. Russell played at the North Shore Garden Arena to cheer for the home team. He also came to the scene today to present awards to the players.
Since last season, the FMVP trophy has been named the Bill Russell Cup, which is awarded by the old man himself every year to make up for the regret that the legendary superstar has never received this honor in his career.
The FMVP award was established from 1968 to 1969. Bill Russell retired after finishing this season.Although he won the championship that season, the FMVP trophy was awarded to Jerry West, the only loser FMVP in history.
Jerry West is now also the general manager of the Grizzlies, standing next to Russell.
For two consecutive seasons, Mr. Russell watched other teams defeat the Celtics and then win the championship. I don't know what mood he was in when he presented the award.
When he handed the trophy to Li Chongxiao, he congratulated the other party: "Great performance, reminds me of Wilt (Chamberlain)'s season."
Li Chongxiao felt that this trophy was much heavier than the last one. He raised one hand high and waved it at the audience, causing bursts of cheers.
"After three years, I finally tasted the honor again. This taste is fascinating." When the audience was quiet, Li Chongxiao delivered his acceptance speech: "I just came here two years ago, and I fell in love with it. The team has excellent Our bosses and managers, excellent coaches and teammates, as well as fans who will never leave us and always support us."
He looked at Carlisle and his teammates while talking, and then raised the trophy to the audience, and everyone gave warm applause.
"This honor belongs to me, and it belongs to everyone." Li Chongxiao looked at the trophy, and then looked at his parents and grandfather: "Of course, it also belongs to my grandfather who enlightened me. parents."
The scene roared with laughter, and the atmosphere was extremely cheerful!
……
The internal celebration lasted for a long time. At the same time, the Grizzlies announced that they would hold a championship parade on June 6 five days later, and then announced the parade preparations and routes, and the whole city began to move.
The influence of winning the championship this time is also huge, and various media have reported on it one after another. In some exaggerated reports, Li Chongxiao has almost surpassed Jordan.
Although Li Chongxiao said that he has just started on the road, some big honeys have already passed Kobe and put him in front of Jordan.For a while, there were many criticisms, and everyone was turned on their backs.
No matter what, this time winning the championship has made Li Chongxiao's fame and status inflated dramatically, making him the most dazzling star in the basketball world.
Li Chongxiao got a headache from being harassed by the media, so he could only stay at home and didn't come out until the day he won the championship.
When it came to the parade on the day of the championship, the whole city participated and followed the float all the way to the FedEx Arena.Memphis is a famous music sanctuary. Many musicians and stars returned that day and sang together in the arena.
On the same day, the mayor of Memphis announced that June 6 would be "Li Chongxiao Day".
