After hugging D'Antoni, Lian Dao turned and hugged Mike Woodson and other members of the coaching staff.
And, of course, Rasheed Wallace.
"sickle, I think I retired early last year, I should play for another year."
When Rasheed Wallace and Lian Dao embraced, he pretended to be disappointed and said.
"Hahaha, there are not many players who won the championship after joining the coaching staff for the first time, Rashid, but you can choose to come back next season, next season, you know..."
Lian Dao patted Rashid on the shoulder and said.
Rasheed Wallace still had fuel in his tank, Lian Dao was pretty sure of that.
Although it is impossible for him to play for a long time, as a veteran in the locker room, his effect on the team is definitely not reflected in the statistics.
In particular, next season, the Knicks will hit the "dynasty" for three consecutive championships, and there are too many benefits in having a veteran in the locker room.
"Forget it, I have dedicated my best time to basketball and the field. Now, I just want to live a little easier. The assistant coach is actually quite suitable for me!"
Rasheed Wallace finally shook his head and rejected Lian Dao's proposal.
In fact, he has a lot to think about, especially because he has a deep understanding of his own strength.
If he can't shine on the court, he would rather choose to retire.
Moreover, in the year of retirement, he accepted and adapted to this peaceful life.
Lian Dao patted Rashid on the shoulder, accepting.
Not every professional player's life has to be completely dedicated to the game, and they also have a way of choosing their own life.
After a short hug and celebration on the sidelines, the Knicks returned to the locker room and put on championship T-shirts and baseball caps symbolizing championships.
Back on the court, the atmosphere on the scene gradually calmed down. At this time, the temporary podium has also been set up.
On stage, league president David Stern and "Lord of the Rings" Bill Russell are waiting.
No one was on stage, including owner James Dolan and general manager Donnie Walsh.
They were all waiting for Lian Dao to step up first.
Lian Dao walked into the crowd, and stood in front of the stage after high-fiving his teammates, coaches and team managers.
Stern had already walked towards him and congratulated him.
Although the ratings of the last game of the finals did not meet his initial expectations, Stern still admires Lian Dao, a cash cow.
Especially in the three years since Lian Dao joined the league, the nba's influence in the Asian region has directly risen to a new level.
For Stern, who has been committed to the nba's globalization strategy and improving the nba's international status, nothing makes him more excited than this.
In the eyes of everyone expecting, Lian Dao walked to the podium, and then James Dolan, Donnie Walsh and a group of teammates, as well as the coaching staff took the stage one by one.
Soon, the awards ceremony began.
There were quite a few spectators left behind.
In addition to the Knicks fans who came from afar to cheer for the team, there were also many Thunder fans left behind.
Although it is a pity that the Thunder lost at home and were swept, but for fans, most people don't want to miss the moment of awards.
"First of all, we would like to thank the Oklahoma City Thunder. They showed fighting spirit, talent, and team... It was their outstanding performance that presented the fans with a wonderful finals."
Stern, as usual, still praised his opponent as usual, which also caused a burst of cheers from the Thunder fans at the scene.
"Then we would like to congratulate the New York Knicks, congratulations on their great achievement of successfully defending their title. They are the NBA champions in the 2011-2012 season!"
When Stern finished the second half of the sentence, the Knicks standing behind him began to cheer and celebrate wildly.
After Stern finished speaking, he handed the championship trophy to James Dolan.
James Dolan smiled into a flower, but he did not take the championship trophy from Stern.
Instead, he pulled Lian Dao in front of him, signaling that Lian Dao was the first to win the championship trophy.
In the expectant eyes of his teammates, coaching staff and management, Lian Dao took the championship trophy from Stern and held it high.
The cheers of the Knicks fans at the scene reached the highest level immediately, and the cheers swept along with the colorful ribbons flying all over the sky.
At this moment, Lian Dao seemed to be in Madison Garden.
Lian Dao did not occupy the championship trophy for too long, and after holding up the group photo, he handed the trophy to James Dolan.
Of course, this is not what makes him the happiest. What makes him the happiest is the two consecutive championships, which allowed him to directly wash away the infamy of "people are stupid and have a lot of money".
Coupled with the precise operation of the Knicks in the trading market in the past two years, many people in the circle are amazed.
Especially with the skyrocketing market value of the New York Knicks, he can now be said to have gained both fame and fortune.
After that, he then turned around and handed the trophy to D'Antoni behind him.
In the camera, D'Antoni is smiling all over his face, and the folds on his face seem to usurp a flower.
When D'Antoni picked up the trophy, there was another round of applause at the scene.
Afterwards, the championship trophy was passed to each other before the players.
Every player held the trophy high, cheered excitedly, and kissed the honor of the championship.
The shiny trophy was immediately covered with saliva, and Lian Dao felt a chill when he saw it.
At this time, he was a little thankful that he was the first player to win the championship.
In the end, there is no doubt that Lian Dao also took over the second fmvp trophy of his career from Mr. Bill Russell.
In the four games of the Finals, Lian Dao averaged 30.5 points, 9 assists and 8.5 rebounds per game.
Although this statistic has declined compared to last season's finals, it's not because of Lian Dao's lack of strength, but because the Thunder are too unstoppable to play.
In the last two games of the finals, Lian Dao clocked out of get off work in the third quarter, and they did not give Lian Dao a chance to play in the fourth quarter.
Naturally, there will definitely be some impact on the data.
Regular season mvp, finals mvp and championship, Lian Dao completed the Grand Slam achievement for two consecutive years!
Now that Lian Dao is the number one player in the league, no media or fans can argue.
In his speech at the fmvp awards ceremony, Lian Dao was as humble as ever, giving all the credit to his teammates and the head coach, and thanking everyone at the same time. The whole atmosphere moved his teammates and fans.
But near the end, a sentence thrown by Lian Dao also made the fans watching the live broadcast gasp.
"...We will not stop, we will attack the dynasty next season!"
Lian Dao's calm words made the entire alliance feel as if they were facing a big enemy.
Because they know that the Knicks have this strength, and Lian Dao will do what he says.
…
After the awards ceremony, everyone in the Knicks returned to the locker room.
Although the award ceremony is over, the celebration ceremony belonging to the Knicks players is not over.
Although it's an away dressing room, James Dolan isn't lowering the bar.
Like the previous year, the dressing room was filled with celebratory champagne.
But with the experience of the previous year, this time, most of the Knicks have experience.
Before they entered the locker room, they put on their raincoats and swimming goggles, and then rushed forward.
Of course, there are a few rookies who are inexperienced, and they are not as fast as the veterans. Seeing the veterans wearing raincoats and swimming goggles with a confused face, they even feel a little fussy.
But soon, they knew the old bird's intentions.
Jeremy Lin, Jimmy Butler, Dabaibian White Hassanside, etc., the players who joined at the beginning of these seasons were baptized by the champagne bath of the veterans.
Of course, as the boss of the team, Lian Dao couldn't avoid it.
Although he put on all the rain gear, he was still besieged by these guys, and even the raincoat was torn to shreds by these guys.
After a great battle, UU reading www. uukanshu.com Lian Dao's whole body was drenched with champagne sparkling wine, and his whole body was filled with the sweet smell of sparkling wine.
After D'Antoni and team owner James Dolan learned the lessons of the previous year's champagne baptism, this time just after the award ceremony, the two guys disappeared.
The two of them didn't really show up until the carnival was over, on the plane back to New York.
That night, the Knicks did not stop in Oklahoma City.
Instead, he returned to New York directly by special plane.
Mainly, James Dolan prepared an even bigger rave party for the team at New York's poshest nightclub.
After all, Oklahoma is not the territory of the Knicks, and it is impossible to completely let go if you want to play.
And, most importantly, Oklahoma City's large-scale entertainment venues are really not comparable to big cities like New York and Los Angeles.
So, it can't be blamed for James Harden pulling his hips when he played away in New York and Los Angeles.
