Chapter 951 We Already Won the Championship Before You Came
"Universal vote? That's too fake! And now the Pelicans are about to be eliminated! This unanimous MVP is not worthy of the name!" A statement from a Jokic fan.
"It's just a 2-1 deficit. It's not like they were eliminated. Moreover, in the two losses, everyone knows that the Pelicans are just unlucky!"
"Yes, and the MVP is judged in the regular season. Is there any problem with this?"
"Who is this person? Why did he suddenly come out to play devil's advocate? It's not Durant's trumpet again, is it?"
"It's very similar. You can see that the formats are exactly the same. Aren't the fans of a certain player of the Pelicans the same as the fans of the Godfather before?"
“ x-on:Jokic fans, come out!”
"Don't worry, I have a hunch that the Pelicans will win the next game! Don will prove his MVP ability!"
…
Warriors locker room.
The team members who had just finished training were resting inside.
Green saw Durant pressing his cell phone frantically and poked his head curiously.
When I saw Durant posting frantically on social media with his trumpet, I couldn't help but frown slightly.
Although he has a loud mouth and plays dirty, he has a positive and tough personality. Durant's trumpet method makes him a little shameless.
"Kevin, if we have anything we can say openly in front of the media, that is the style of our Warriors."
Green couldn't hold back and said.
In addition to the splashiness of the Warriors' rise in the past few years, another very important element is the team culture.
During those tumultuous years, the Warriors were once an undisciplined, lousy team.
But thanks to Splash and Green, a new team culture was re-established.
What Green said is an important part of their culture.
Durant glanced at Green, ignored him, and continued to log in using another account.
Green's frown deepened, even a little angry.
Durant didn't listen to what he said at all!
After Durant came to the Warriors, Green did his best to help him integrate and constantly encouraged Durant to have courage for Tang Tian.
But I didn't expect Durant's reaction!
But this was the locker room, so he couldn't say anything and turned around to pack his things.
The players all took showers and left the arena one after another. Durant was still there using his mobile phone to log in to the trumpet output. He didn't know which trumpet it was.
Green couldn't stand it anymore.
Durant really didn't take what he said seriously at all!
"Kevin, we already won the championship before you came here, so believe me, that's championship gene."
Green said.
The Warriors have won the championship, but Durant has not.
Durant put down his phone at this time and looked at Green with some displeasure.
The two people stared at each other for a while.
Durant put away his phone, put on his bag and left the locker room.
Green was so angry that he almost knocked on the door.
Durant's character is really weird, and he is not at all the same type of person as the Splash he knew.
But he didn't care about it after he got angry.
They are together because they want to win the championship. They are different from teammates like Splash who grew up together.
Fans are talking a lot on social media, and the fourth game between the Pelicans and the Warriors is also attracting much attention.
This game will even directly determine the trend of the entire series.
If the Pelicans pull back, then a 2-2 situation means both sides are back on the starting line, but if the Warriors continue to win, then 3-1 will basically advance.
So this one will be crucial.
The next day, the fourth game between the two sides officially kicked off at Oracle Arena.
The team is leading by a big score, and fans in the Bay Area are highly motivated. Not only is the attendance in the arena full, but there is also a sea of people outside the large LED screen broadcast outside the arena.
The experience of being swept last year was a shame for them, and they must pay for it with blood this year.
In the arena, Warriors owner Joe Lacob and several investors were on hand to help.
The next game will return to New Orleans, and this game is also very critical for the Warriors.
There was even someone Tang Tian knew beside them, Ajali Ranadive.
Ranadev's father was also the small owner of the Warriors, and later formed a consortium to acquire the Kings, but it can be seen that she is still a fan of the Warriors.
When the players entered the stadium, she, sitting in the front row, stretched out her hand to say hello to Tang Tian.
Back in New York, she met Tang Tian once at Olson's private estate. She also tried to recruit Tang Tian to play for the Warriors.
Unexpectedly, time passed and the two met in Oracle Arena with different identities.
The world is really wonderful sometimes.
Tang Tian also said hello politely, but his eyes quickly focused on the arena.
The Pelicans must win tonight's game.
And he is very confident. In this morning's training session, the entire Pelicans team was in good shape.
Two consecutive defeats did not make them lose confidence, but instead made them more motivated.
After the pre-game warm-up and before the opening ceremony, the MVP award ceremony was held on site.
Originally it would be best to receive this kind of grand prize at home, but Tang Tian chose to do it away from home because he also wanted to use this to encourage the team.
Before Tatum handed the MVP trophy to Tang Tian, he specifically emphasized that Tang Tian was the first unanimously elected player in NBA history.
There were cheers and applause.
Although they are opponents, Tang Tian is now the number one player in the league, and the fact that he was unanimously elected is worthy of their attitude.
Tang Tian smiled and took the trophy from Tatum, and took the initiative to hug Tatum.
"Thanks for the help."
While hugging, Tang Tian whispered to Tatum.
NBA awards, because of Xiao Hua's resignation, are not unified until after the season as in history. Instead, they are still awarded during the playoffs as before.
The time point for this issuance is not completely fixed. In other words, it is completely determined by the alliance.
This year's MVP awards were held a week earlier than last year, and Tang Tian naturally understood the reason.
This is using off-court factors to the Pelicans' advantage.
Tatum will not use referees to control the game like Xiao Hua did, but his behavior has shown that he supports Tang Tian.
After all, it was Tang Tian who tripped up Xiao Hua and made him take office.
Tatum looked at Tang Tian with a smile and said nothing, but his eyes said everything.
After receiving the trophy, Tang Tian delivered his acceptance speech.
"Thank you to every media reporter who voted for me. I thought I would win the MVP, but I never thought I would be unanimously elected. That is an incredible honor for me and the greatest encouragement and affirmation for me.
Thank you to all the fans who support the Pelicans and basketball, you make this sport special.
I also want to thank each of LeBron, Kawhi, Russell, Kevin, Stephen, and James. It is because of them that the NBA will become more and more exciting.
Of course, the thing I want to thank most is my wife Elizabeth Olsen. She supports me unconditionally. She raised my two children on her own and allowed me to devote myself to the game. I love her more than anything. "
