The Godfather of Basketball

Cheers rose from the scene.

Although there are not many audiences left, the momentum is not weak.

Among these remaining audiences, even with sharp eyes, many familiar figures can be seen in the front row.

Mutombo, Yao Ming, McGrady, Artest, Battier, Alstom, Scola, Landry, Paul, Rashid Wallace, Kwame Brown, Jason Williams Matthews, Matthews, Westbrook, Harden, Ibaka, Tucker ...

Thibodeau, Kassel, Stevens, Wharton, Casey ...

These former Tang subordinates have either retired, are still playing in the league, or have faded out of the league, but this evening, they all appeared in the Oracle Arena.

Because the Nets may win the championship tonight, they appeared early on the scene to watch the ball.

And now they are not waiting.

After raising the trophy, Tang Tian turned around and handed it to the players behind him.

George, Irving, Butler ... they kissed the championship trophy that belonged to them one by one, and the smile on the face was filled with the winner.

"Mr. Tang, Mr. Tang." Just then, the female reporter found Tang Tian for the first time.

"Just call me a coach." Tang Tian said with a smile.

Although his identity has been changing, in the NBA for so many years, he has been used to the term coach.

"Yes, coach, how do you feel now? Get your 10th championship away."

"Cool, in fact, I'm ready."

While Tang Tian was talking, Jones behind him took out a delicately packed box and opened it under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

In the eyes is a golden light.

Inside are 9 championship rings obtained before Tang Tian.

Whistles, cheers and laughter were mixed.

Tang Tian also smiled.

Everyone knows that this is his last season, so what Tang Tian will say next is his retirement speech.

This is why so many former disciples of Tang Tian came to the scene, and it was also the reason that Tang Tian let Jones take the championship ring.

Because tonight is the match point for the Nets, this moment is destined to come tonight.

The reporter also realized that Tang Tian was going to say a long paragraph, and handed him the microphone and quietly stepped aside.

The spotlight hit Tang Tian, ​​and everyone's eyes were on him.

In his 13-year career with 10 crowns, Tang Tian is a well-deserved basketball godfather in active service and unparalleled by other coaches.

And now he is going to start his retirement speech.

"I can't forget. It was T-mac that helped me get the chance to enter the league. I also can't forget that Alexander and Darien Morey gave me the opportunity to become a Rockets assistant coach."

After so many years, all due grievances have been put down. Tang Tian is thinking back to the previous ones, and the rest is only memories.

Alexander also came to the scene. He was shot at the scene and he gave applause to Tang Tian.

"The Rockets were an important starting point for me, where I and T-mac, Yao, and Dikembe, Sean, Ron, Louis, Carl and others completed the history of the team. The first three consecutive championships, it was a dynasty, we did something that no one else could do, and I especially ca n’t forget that when we held the third championship trophy of that team, that was the most An unforgettable moment. "

When Tang Tian named his name, the scene shots swept past those members of the Rockets one by one, attracting even greater cheers on the scene.

06 ~ 07/07 ~ 08/08 ~ 09, the Rockets' three consecutive championships left fans with too many impressions. It was also at that time that the fans discovered that the modern team may also complete the dynasty.

"Then I came to Cleveland, and everything I experienced there was really unusual for me. I went through the team rebuilding and accidentally won the championship. I went through that invincible team and I didn't get shot The optimistic days are different every year, but that is where the most memories are left. It is a very beautiful town, really. "

"Coach, there is your statue!" Shouted some fans during the conversation between Tang Tian and Jian.

After the scene, there was a laugh.

Tang Tian also laughed.

"I am very fortunate that Yao has been with me, whether in Houston or Cleveland, we have spent 6 years together." Waiting for laughter, Tang Tian continued to say this.

The scene shot gave Yao Ming, although it has become Yao Riyue, but it can't stop his past glory.

The cheers at the scene also lasted for a long time. Yao Ming's achievements in the NBA were no surprises. He could even compete with the top three in history.

His popularity is just as high as his previous life.

"So my most regretful thing in recent years is that I was unable to participate in Yao's retirement ceremony. That is really a pity."

When Tang Tian said here, Yao Ming waved his hand to him, and Tang Tian shook his head with a smile.

"Oklahoma is a very important transit point in my coaching career. I used to plan to spend all my coaching career there, but the plan sometimes can't keep up with the changes, but even so, I still can't forget the three young people. How good, Kevin, Russell, James Harden, they are all MVP players, and I coached all three of them at that time. "

When Tang Tian said this, the cheering at the scene started again.

It really counts, if it wasn't for Tang Tian's marriage truce, and then he left Oklahoma, he would really create an unprecedented dynasty and history there.

Westbrook, Harden, Durant, and Ibaka, Tang Tian had already found a way to pinch them together.

Really such a lineup, let alone three consecutive championships, eight consecutive championships are not impossible.

In fact, if the Thunder lineup has been there, playing the current Warriors or the Nets is a hang.

"But life is like this ~ www.novelmtl.com ~ You don't know what will happen next year, and when it happens, it will be your life."

Tang Tian transitioned with a very philosophical word, then glanced at the players behind him.

"Then I came to New York and came to Brooklyn."

The players behind cheered for a while, and the Barclays Center and New York fans who were thousands of miles away cheered.

"New York is the city I have stayed for the longest. Since I came here in the summer of 2014, I have been there for 5 years. When I first arrived, fans had to pay high luxury taxes. But my team and I have come step by step. Now the Nets are one of the healthiest paid teams in the league and one of the hottest teams in the league. "

Cheers continued.

Whether it was the original Rockets, or the later Cavaliers and Thunder, they all have their own cornerstones. They will be strengthened or rebuilt quickly, but the Nets are not the same. It really turned from the mess to Tang Dynasty by Tang Tian. Giants.
