Braised Eggplant with Minced Pork
Chapter 275 2011-2012 NBA Champions!
The previous open three-pointer required training and adaptation, and this free throw king would definitely be similar.
However, unlike the previous open three-pointer, his own basic free throw ability and stability were much greater than three-pointers.
First free throw.
As the ball left his hand, he could feel that his control over the ball was much better than before.
"Swish!"
First free throw, made!
The fans on the sidelines sighed.
Popovich clenched his fist forcefully on the sidelines.
With this ball made, the Spurs were already in an invincible position.
The second free throw opportunity.
The booing was even louder.
Tang Tian dribbled the ball once before shooting.
"Swish!"
Still a clean shot.
Still in!
Spoelstra called the Heat's last timeout.
The fans at the scene were already desperate.
James took out his mouthpiece and looked at the score, his expression extremely complicated.
Tang Tian's steal before really killed the game.
He really didn't expect that at all.
This was even different from those clutch three-pointers before, because the ball was snatched directly from his hands…
He looked up at the ceiling of the arena again.
Could it be that his choice back then was wrong?
With 3 seconds left and a 4-point deficit, there was basically no chance of winning.
Wade saw James's actions and came over to pat him on the shoulder, saying a few words of comfort.
Failure was a bit difficult for them to accept, but in fact, they had to learn to face it.
Even though continuous failure was very frustrating.
Spoelstra arranged a quick three-point tactic.
The tactic was fine, but there wasn't enough time.
When the timeout returned, the Heat inbounded the ball, James dribbled past Ginobili, but the time was up when he shot.
"Bang!"
"Beep!"
The three-pointer hit the rim and went in.
The ball went in!
But the Heat still lost the game 107 to 108!
The moment the final buzzer sounded, the Spurs players rushed onto the court like crazy.
Duncan and Ginobili hugged tightly.
Green hugged Tang Tian and shouted.
Leonard showed a smile in front of the camera for the first time.
Diaw and Parker walked arm in arm, waving to the female fans who were still on the sidelines.
Bonner glanced at the topic in front of the technical table, suppressing the urge to go up and sing a song.
Splitter and Joseph were running around the court.
…
The Spurs won the NBA championship of the 2011~2012 season!
Tang Tian's pre-game speech was right, they played aggressively and proved that old people can also be crazy!
Confetti was sprayed on the scene.
Most of the fans on the sidelines began to leave.
The Heat players didn't stay to watch the Spurs' award ceremony, and they all entered the player tunnel one after another.
James was the last one to enter, and he lingered on two people for a while before leaving.
Duncan, the person who told him five years ago that the future was his?
Right, and he touched his head.
MMP!
Tang Tian, the key shots in several consecutive games, especially the consecutive 5 points in this game to kill the game, made him doubt his life.
Was this sent by God to tease him?
"LeBron!"
Wade saw James standing there in a daze and called out to him.
Forget it.
Just one season.
Failure is not everything, he knows what he needs to improve.
Next season.
He will be back next season.
He turned around and walked towards the locker room with Wade.
On the court, the Spurs' crazy celebration continued.
Although this was the Heat's home court, many Spurs fans came to the scene.
At this time, they were also shouting and celebrating in the stands.
The Spurs' fifth NBA championship in team history!
When the crazy celebration came to an end, the players shouted and returned to the locker room.
"Tang! Tang!"
Tang Tian heard Walker and Thompson calling his name at the entrance of the tunnel.
Tang Tian went over and high-fived them.
He also took off his jersey and threw it over.
The four brothers who practiced hard, the other three could only look at him with envy at this time.
Tang Tian won the championship in his rookie season, but for them, the NBA championship might be an honor that they would never be able to reach in their entire career.
The Spurs players returned to the locker room, changed into the championship T-shirts, and then returned to the arena.
In the arena, the staff was ready.
In the very center of the court, there was a large O'Brien Cup.
If it weren't for the staff guarding it, they couldn't help but rush up to kiss and hug it.
League President David Stern and Vice President Adam Silver appeared on the sidelines, along with the familiar figure of "Lord of the Rings" Russell.
He was leaning on crutches and was being helped by the staff. Although his body didn't look very good, he was in good spirits.
Stern gave a speech.
"A great champion needs a great opponent. The Heat's excellent performance makes this championship more valuable. We must first thank every player, every staff member, and every fan in Miami."
Stern was still very artistically charming in his speech. As soon as these words came out, the fans who were left behind burst into applause and cheers.
"A great opponent also created a great championship, a great city, a great team, this is their 5th NBA championship in the past 15 years, they are undoubtedly a strong team in the league, they are the 2011~2012 season NBA champions."
With Stern's foreshadowing, the fans on the sidelines and the Spurs players behind him couldn't help but shout excitedly.
"San Antonio Spurs!"
As Stern finished speaking, the Spurs players and the fans behind him fell into cheers.
The staff held up the championship trophy and handed it to him, and he handed it over to Spurs owner Peter Holt and coach Popovich.
Popovich and Pitman raised the championship trophy together, with smiles on their faces.
Especially the former, his wrinkled face was full of the happy scars carved by the years.
The Spurs players behind him were even more excited.
A burst of flashlights flashed.
The championship moment belonging to this Spurs team.
After Popovich put down the championship trophy, he handed it to the players behind him.
Duncan, Ginobili, Parker, Tang Tian, Green, Diaw, Leonard, Splitter…
The players all touched and kissed the trophy one by one.
Except for GDP, this was their first championship trophy in their careers, and this meaning was too great.
Tang Tian was also a little excited at this time.
Although he had won many championships in his previous life, the feeling of winning a championship by personally ending the game was indeed a little different.
Just like when he won the championship at UConn and rekindled his basketball passion, this championship also made him love the sport from another perspective.
This is a different life.
An equally wonderful life.
