Chapter 1253 Pelicans Win Four Consecutive Championships!
When Anthony scored, Stevens sat back on the bench from the sidelines with a slight smile on his face to hide his merit and fame.
The on-site photographer also naughtily gave the camera to Gale Benson in the stands.
There is a difference in the cost of a ring with a name and a ring without a name, so Benson will have to pay more.
But Benson was all smiles and the team won four consecutive championships, so the money was simply not worth mentioning.
Budenholzer did not give up and replaced the main players in the fourth quarter to try to chase points.
However, the point difference between the two sides was indeed too large. Tang Tian and Davis were replaced to suppress the game and stabilize the point difference.
Two minutes before the end of the game, the two sides were still close to a 20-point difference.
Budenholzer finally gave up and replaced the main players one after another.
At this time, there were no fans sitting at the scene, including the wealthy fans in the front row, who all stood up.
There are only two minutes left before the Pelicans complete their fourth consecutive championship!
Two minutes and 60 seconds.
The time was short, but to everyone present, every second seemed as long as a century.
If they could, they wanted the final whistle to sound now.
Fortunately, the players on the field also knew the fans' mood, and there were not many fouls.
When Dellavedova missed the final three-point shot, Anthony got the defensive rebound and there was less than 10 seconds left before the end of the game.
Neither side played, and Anthony pushed the ball past half court.
The cheers from the scene had already started in advance.
When time finally ran out, the final whistle sounded from the sidelines, and Anthony held the ball tightly in his arms.
The Pelicans players and fans on the sidelines had already started celebrating wildly.
They did it!
Even though they were not favored, they swept their old rivals the Warriors, defeated the Spurs and Lakers who were the favorites to win the championship, and finally swept the Bucks, the strongest team in the Eastern Conference, and successfully completed four consecutive championships!
Incredible season!
The scene was filled with streamers and lights flashing.
Many members of the Pelicans rushed onto the court to celebrate, and the players on the court were also jumping and enjoying the time of winning the championship.
Anthony was still holding the ball, and even when the staff came to ask for it, he didn't give it to him.
Obviously, he has to decide on this memorable championship ball.
For him, this ball, or this season with the Pelicans, is a happy ending to his career.
He didn't have a retirement tour like Kobe, nor did he have a final season like Nowitzki or Wade.
But winning this championship and making up for the regrets in his career is the best ending for him personally and for his fans.
The same thing happened to Carter.
The former top four shooting guards, Kobe and Tracy McGrady have all won championships one after another. Iverson has retired, and Carter is the only one left.
Now he has won his own championship at the end of his career.
And just like McGrady back then, he didn't just win by lying down, he really put in the effort.
At this time, he looked at Tang Tian, who was also standing calmly on the sidelines, his eyes full of doting.
Just like Kobe and Tracy McGrady, these superstars in the early centuries are all more or less connected with Tang Tian.
Moreover, his and McGrady's careers were complete because of Tang Tiancai.
This may be just a coincidence, or it may be destiny.
Tang Tian's expression was very calm.
After passing the Lakers level, he knew that this moment would definitely come, it was just a matter of sooner or later.
It was Davis and Ding Yanyuhang who reacted faster.
The former didn't know where to find the scissors, so he just used his toes to cut the net.
What's even more exaggerated is that Ding Yanyuhang actually ran to the player tunnel to lift the ladder while others were not paying attention, and reduced the size of the other side of the basket.
And unlike Davis who hid it in his pocket after cutting it, he put it directly around his neck!
Brogdon, who came one step late, could only look at the net and sigh.
"Pelicans! Pelicans!"
The cheers of the fans at the scene lasted for a long time.
Pelicans players also reached out and responded.
This was a night for the Pelicans to go down in history, and he deserves all the fanfare.
After the celebration, the two teams had a final handshake.
Most of the Bucks players were inattentive and hurried back to the tunnel after shaking hands.
When Tang Tian hugged Antetokounmpo, he reached out and touched his head.
"The future is yours, work hard."
This sentence, Duncan said to James, became a meme and is well known to fans.
In his last season before retiring, Duncan also said to Tang Tian, and then Tang Tian really became the future of the league.
Now what Tang Tian says to Antetokounmpo is more like what Duncan said to him.
Antetokounmpo is talented, and he is still young. He will definitely grow up to be very good in the future, and he will also have the strength to be the face of the league.
Antetokounmpo nodded after hearing this, but then smiled bitterly.
If you really think about it, Tang Tian is actually only two years older than him...
Unless Tang Tian retires, the future will never be his.
Tang Tian didn't think too much, he was more encouraging Antetokounmpo.
After Antetokounmpo, he hugged Irving again.
The same thing is touching the heads. We are both hard-working brothers and there is no need to say too much.
But Irving showed a wry smile like Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Walker and Butler both won championships with Tang Tian, not to mention Davis.
Among the brothers who practice hard, his life is miserable.
But just like when he was the boss in the NCAA, maybe this is fate.
After the handshake ceremony was completed, the Bucks players left the field, and the Pelicans players also returned to the locker room to replace the champion T-shirt.
The on-site staff began to make preparations for the award ceremony in the venue.
Bill Russell was also wheeled out.
He also looked incredibly radiant.
Perhaps he never thought that anyone in modern basketball could catch up with the four consecutive championships they created.
He was optimistic about Tang Tian at first, and Tang Tian did not disappoint him.
It is no exaggeration to say that Tang Tian led his team to win this fourth consecutive championship, which has far-reaching significance for the NBA and the promotion of basketball around the world.
Benson also came to the court, shook hands with Tatum, greeted Russell, and greeted league staff.
She has really reached the peak of her life now.
After a few minutes, the Pelicans players came to the court wearing championship T-shirts.
This year the arena is also fully prepared, with the words "four consecutive championships" printed on the T-shirts.
When the fans at the scene saw this, they cheered overwhelmingly.
At the same time, a large number of fans gathered in the streets of New Orleans.
For them, this night is destined to be a carnival night and a sleepless night.
With everyone paying attention, Tatum picked up the microphone handed over by the staff and officially announced the news that the fans had been waiting for.
"The NBA championship in the 2018~2019 season is... the New Orleans Pelicans. This is their fourth consecutive championship. Great city, great team!"
