Chapter 742: Chapter 742
You arrested Lu Xun, what does it have to do with me, Zhou Shuren?
Jokic agreed with a nod, then began to sip.
He genuinely drank in small sips.
The long-missed feeling of comfort enveloped him.
After the locker room celebration ended, they put on championship T-shirts and returned to the scene.
The championship award ceremony was already set up at the scene.
At this time, Silva stood in the center of the stage chatting with Gilbert. Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⁂𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⁂𝘯𝘦𝘵
Gilbert was proud and excited, among the League’s 30 teams, no owner was more satisfied than him.
As for Silva, although he was smiling, there was a faint concern hidden in his brow.
Hansen is the king of this era, and the biggest star in the NBA now, but this star is as dazzling as Jordan was in his days.
Although Hansen has changed teams, this is his 5th championship in 6 years!
It’s like the Cavaliers completing a title defense, surprising upon seeing it.
If teams with Hansen keep winning championships, the investment interest of other teams in the League will keep diminishing.
However, when Silva saw Hansen approaching, he immediately smiled and shook hands with Hansen, expressing his congratulations.
When everything was ready, the award ceremony officially began.
Silva routinely thanked the Warriors for their outstanding performance in the finals, then formally announced the champion.
"The 2017 NBA champion is the Cleveland Cavaliers, winning the title for the second consecutive year."
As Silva announced it, the Quicken Loans Arena erupted in cheers.
Winning the championship is the same, but lifting the trophy at the home court feels different!
Not just the fans, even the players, including Gilbert who received the championship trophy, were extremely excited as he single-handedly lifted the trophy above his head.
When the trophy was passed to Hansen, he also felt many emotions in his heart.
Compared to last season’s unity, this season’s Cavaliers experienced many twists and turns.
But precisely because of these twists, this championship became even more valuable.
In other words, after experiencing this season’s challenges, this team has now established a culture.
Even if he leaves later, this culture will continue.
He then passed the championship trophy to Jokic.
And unlike in Memphis, this time he also brought the Cavaliers the core for the team’s next ten or even twenty years.
After the cheers from the fans faded, the female reporter began the on-site interview.
Gilbert thanked the fans, while also dissing Irving’s past comments.
"Cleveland is truly a city of sports because it has the best fans in the world."
Of course, thanking Hansen was essential too.
No matter how good the fans, coaches, or even role players are, if the team star is not right, success cannot be achieved.
The female reporter then handed the microphone to Hansen.
With Gilbert’s introduction, Hansen was already overwhelmed by the cheers before he spoke.
The cheers lasted a whole ten seconds; you could feel how crazy the scene was.
Once the cheering subsided, Hansen began to answer the reporter’s previous question: What do you want to say at this moment?
And his first sentence brought the scene into an even higher level of explosive cheers.
"I want to thank many people, but the person I most want to thank is not here."
By this time, James, who had returned to the hotel to rest, sneezed loudly.
