Chapter 309: 2002~2003 season NBA championship!

Jordan was sighing, the game continued, and the Wizards began to slowly be unable to resist.
Jordan can play smart, but without the full output of the previous game, he is not enough to help the Wizards win.
Yao Ming's immaturity in the face of double teams, Hamilton's single function, Mobley's upper limit is not high... These are all shown in the game.
The general trend of the game has been determined at the beginning.
Although that wave of small climax once made the Wizards fans see hope, but Sun Hao's wave of scoring made hope instantly extinguished.
And Sun Hao's performance was far more than that.
G6 Sun failed to appear in the previous game against the Spurs, but in the end he made his buzzer debut against the Wizards.
Jordan spent more time looking at the ball and sighing.
After all, this is no longer his era.
Although he felt that Sun Hao had been able to "inherit" him, he would inevitably feel a little sad.
Halfway through the fourth quarter, Sun Hao scored 32 points, and the score on the field has been expanded to 20 points.
The score has been set.
Van Gundy began to take the initiative to replace the main players, and he embraced them one by one when the players were off the court.
Although they failed to lead this team to the championship, they were able to reach the finals and scored 2 to 4 with the Mavericks. Their performance was not bad.
The old Nelson also replaced the bench.
The fans all stood up after seeing this scene, their faces were full of excitement, cheers and whistles one after another.
As long as the remaining half of the quarter is finished, the Mavericks can welcome their championship moment!
"We want Michael! We want Michael!"
At this moment, some fans were chanting Jordan's name.
There is no suspense about the outcome, and the 2002~2003 season finals will also end here.
In other words, tonight is Jordan's real last dance in the NBA.
They also want to take a last look at Jordan's performance.
Jordan did not respond at the beginning. This kind of game where the victory or defeat has been divided, he has no need to go up, and it is meaningless.
But that kind of cheering became louder and louder, and until the end it became the shouting of the audience.
Jordan stood up at last.
At this time, his appearance has nothing to do with the outcome of the game, but to satisfy [so many] the last wish of the fans.
When they saw Jordan on the court, the Mavericks, including Sun Hao, all stood up and applauded him.
The youth of a generation finally ushered in the final curtain call.
Fortunately, they can watch Jordan dance again.
Jordan re-entered the field, and the ball soon reached his hands.
At this time it was Finley who was defending him, one of Jordan's successors.
Jordan knew that his knees were not working well, so instead of choosing the face frame, he chose to attack with the back frame.
Leaning on his body, he felt Finley's center of gravity, and finally turned back suddenly.
I don't know if it was the cheers of the away fans that made him a little excited. He completely threw off Finley this time and made a familiar backward shot.
"Uh!"
With the crisp sound of netting, the ball hits the net!
There were bursts of cheers and whistles on the scene.
They have no regrets if they can see Jordan's iconic fall back at the last moment!
Jordan originally wanted to hit two and went down, but he found that his body felt it, and he hit it till the end.
And he dared to work hard, scored 10 points in a single quarter in the fourth quarter, making his full score 20+.
When the final whistle sounded, the fans who had already stood up on the scene burst into cheers.
It is for Jordan's last dance, but also for the final ending.
The Mavericks won their NBA championship!
The Mavericks players on and off the court have begun to celebrate.
Many fans on the sidelines also poured into the stadium.
A championship moment for the people of Dallas!
Nowitzki leaned over and hugged Sun Hao, slapped each other on the back.
After three seasons, they finally did it!
If possible, they will now shout: Do you know how we spent the past three years? !
Bodilloga looked calmer.
To him, this seems to be just one of his many championships.
He is always on the way to win the championship ~ change teams ~ win the championship.
And in the first year, the best rookie plus the best championship is a real winner in life.
But the most excited at this time is neither them nor Dampier who has been shouting "I am the second center in the league", or even Raja Bell, who is running around the audience excitedly, but Barkley.
Yes, Lord Barbara was excited at this moment as if he had just done something, his face flushed, and he kept shouting and screaming at the people around him.
This championship is so important to him!
He is not a hug. After Sabonis was reimbursed for the season, he entered the Mavericks rotation, from the Western Conference to the Finals. He averaged 10+ minutes per game.
Such a champion was made by himself.
From now on, he can no longer be ridiculed by the champion of Kenny Smith, from now on he can straighten up in front of Jordan, and no longer need to appear on the list of "Uncrowned Kings"!
Of course it's not just Barkley, all the rest of the Mavericks are celebrating.
You may not believe it, this Mavericks team has never tasted a championship before!
Old Curry, holding his two sons, especially his eldest son Curry, has already laughed from ear to ear.
He chose to come to Dallas for another year in order to satisfy his eldest son's wishes, which is indeed the most correct choice in his life;
Sabonis, although injured in the Western Conference finals against the Spurs, "Roof of the World" also won a championship ring before retiring;
Howard Eisley, the story king of the team, Sun Hao's guide when he first entered the NBA, also won the championship with the team, in a sense, his career has been more successful than Nash;
Van Exel, Adrian Griffin, Najera...
They are all broken together!
Of course, the excitement is not just the players.
Old Nelson, weep with joy!
It is said that 20 years of sharpening a sword, he has sharpened it for more than 20 years!
This championship will come with all the hardships!
And finally, he can send Popovich a message later.
"Greg, I heard that my way can't win the championship?!"
Cuban also jumped into the court early, and he was no longer like a boss in excitement, but just an avid fan.
Even together with Nowitzki, he didn't know where to find a bucket full of champagne. When the old Nelson was not paying attention, he directly gave the old man an "initiation"!
Of course, there are also fans. The National Route Center Arena at this time is really like a boiling ocean!
The first championship in Dallas history!
Witness the legend!
...
On the other side of the court, the Wizards did not leave immediately.
Van Gundy gathered the players together and said encouraging words.
Jordan was not in it at this time.
He stood some distance from his teammates, watching the celebrating Mavericks intently.
He suddenly remembered what Sun Hao had said to excite him.
Michael never played tiebreakers.
He really didn't play tiebreaker in the end...
The only difference is that he won the first six times, but lost the seventh time.
The number seven is really metaphysical sometimes.
The short celebration over there is temporarily over, and the two teams have to complete the final handshake.
"The future is yours."
When Jordan and Sun Hao shook hands, they gave the latter a deep hug.
"..."
Sun Hao didn't expect that Jordan would come to this sentence.
It's just that, unlike Duncan's slight joke, Jordan's sentence is true.
His NBA journey has come to an end here, and the future belongs to the era of young people.
And Sun Hao defeated him to reach the top, undoubtedly one of the best in the early generation of the century.
Even from the performance of the finals alone, that one can be removed.
After the handshake ceremony was over, Jordan did not go back to the locker room with the others, but sat on the side bench and waited.
The Mavericks went back to the locker room to change their championship clothes, and the scene began to arrange the championship awards.
Stern saw that Jordan was still there and chatted with him for a while.
The two seasons of Jordan's comeback have played a huge role in promoting the NBA, including this time the Finals.
If it weren't for Jordan, Sun Hao and Nowitzki would obviously not be able to achieve this rating.
This is also the reason why Jordan publicly diss the league as he did not see it.
No one is perfect. When you accept the shortcomings of some people, you will find that most people have a successful side.
"Will you stay in Washington?"
While chatting, Stern also anticipated what happened after Jordan retired.
"Yes, but I want to give myself a vacation."
Jordan spoke and patted his knee.
The rumors about his knee injury before the game are true, and the team doctor also advised him not to play this game.
But his heart didn't allow him to do this, so he still beat it.
The consequence of the fight is that he may have to rest for a while before he can come out.
Otherwise, his walking in the second half of his life may be affected.
Stern smiled and nodded.
There is nothing wrong with Jordan staying with the Wizards.
If possible, it would be better to become the owner of the Wizards.
The league needs topicality, and Jordan is the best topic.
At this moment, the staff over there reminded him that the award ceremony was about to begin. After he had greeted Jordan, he got up and walked to the center of the stage.
The fans who had poured into the stadium before have all returned to their seats.
Although the game was over, no fans left the stadium. Instead, some fans sneaked in from outside the stadium, making the National Airline Center Arena more crowded.
But that doesn't matter, because the award ceremony requires this kind of atmosphere!
The Mavericks re-emerged from the player channel.
They have already put on T shirts with the championship logo embroidered on their chests, put on the hats of the championship, and stepped on the footsteps of the championship!
When they appeared, the cheers on the scene were completely unstoppable.
This is their championship team!
Sun Hao felt the enthusiasm of the fans and waved in response.
When he first came to Dallas, he did feel uncomfortable because of some racial discrimination issues here.
But not paying attention to those, when focusing on the stadium, he found that Dallas is the most passionate place for American fans.
The players were led to stand in the center of the stage.
Stern picked up the microphone and said some opening remarks.
"We witnessed the curtain call of the of basketball with a lot of legendary records, and also witnessed the strong birth of a great team after that. There is no doubt that this is the most exciting finals ever!"
Stern will of course mention Jordan, but this time the of basketball failed to become the protagonist, but only as a foil.
"The 2003 NBA championship was... the Dallas Mavericks!"
When Stern officially announced the result, the National Route Center Arena was once again boiled, and it was the climax after the game.
Knowing the result is different from official announcements.
Just like you and your sister go to a hotel, only the moment the hotel room is closed is the time that really makes your blood boil.
After Stern finished speaking, Lord of the Rings Bill Russell handed the trophy belonging to the championship to Cuban.
Cuban gave the kiss to the old Nelson behind him, and the old Nelson took the photo before handing it to the team behind him.
The team members kissed on top one by one, this year is not 2020, don't worry about contagion, glory is over!
In the end, Old Nelson and Cuban stood in the middle holding the trophy. Nowitzki didn't know where he got a lot of champagne, one man.
Before the photo was taken, the Mavericks had already swayed secretly behind them.
At the moment when the photo was taken, they all took them out and sprayed them towards Old Nelson and Cuban.
The dodge scene of Cuban and Nelson was frozen by the photographer.
This picture is extremely precious.
Of course, one photo is definitely not enough. You and your wife will have a trophy, and my son and I will also have one.
For players, this is the most cherished moment in their lives.
At this time, the final selection of awards is going on.
FMVP, the most valuable player in the finals.
The selection of FMVP is not the same as the selection of MVP, he came more crude and simple.
11 mainstream media, 11 votes in total, the person with the most votes is FMVP.
There is still some suspense about the ownership of FMVP.
There are actually only three people who might get this award.
Nowitzki, Sun Hao~EbookFREE.me~ and Jordan.
Jordan will appear on this list. On the one hand, Jerry West was elected as the losing MVP in history. On the other hand, it is naturally his feelings and performance.
After 6 games, Jordan averaged 25.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 45% shooting and 100% three-pointers (1 of 1).
Such performance is undoubtedly historical for a 40-year-old veteran.
Because of the stimulation of Sun Hao and the fans, it can be said that Jordan really spewed out all his last energy, and there was nothing left.
So he also has a certain chance to be elected.
Of course, compared to Jordan, Nowitzki and Sun Hao are obviously more likely.
Because not only this time the Finals, but the entire past season, they have made the league feel their growth and strength.
This glory should naturally belong to them, one of the two. Recommended reading: "Reading Files 2013"
