Chapter 1295 The final championship parade
Tatm handed the trophy to Russell who was being helped up. Tang Tian took the initiative to greet him and took the trophy of FMVP from Russell.
"You have created a new era that belongs to you."
Russell said from the heart when he handed the trophy to Tang Tian.
Among these juniors, he once admired Jordan the most, and now his position has been replaced by Tang Tian.
Moreover, he has no regrets to be able to meet two presidential mountain players in his life.
"Thanks."
After thanking him, Tang Tian hugged Russell for a moment, then turned around and raised the trophy above his head.
Cheers at the scene resounded over the arena.
That night, the entire city of New Orleans was sleepless.
After completing the award ceremony, the Pelicans went to the largest bar to celebrate.
It is worth mentioning that the cheerleaders of the NFL Saints were also invited to the bar.
This is destined to be a very crazy night.
Kuzma and Ding Yanyuhang each hugged a cheerleading beauty and entered the private room. Before entering, they locked the door.
Tang Tian and Davis saw this scene on the fence on the second floor.
"This Kyle, bring Xiao Ding into the ditch."
Tang Tian couldn't help but smile and shook his head as he looked at this scene.
However, it can be seen that he is comforting Ding Yanyuhang.
Ding Yanyuhang has secretly glanced at cheerleading in the country more than once or twice, and this time he finally seized the opportunity to get on the base.
"Young players like this."
Davis said from the side.
Tang Tian turned his head and looked at Davis, his eyes full of contempt.
This is what he said, as if he was a veteran. You must know that Davis was a cute innocent boy at the time.
Davis saw Tang Tian looking at him, coughed twice, and then immediately changed the subject.
"This year's four consecutive championships are not the end. The Lakers will disintegrate this summer. Our opponents next season are the Spurs, and we will complete the five consecutive championships."
Tang Tian nodded after hearing this.
"Maybe six consecutive championships, or ten consecutive championships, and when we are about to retire, I just don't know if Mr. Bill Russell is still there."
Davis was just changing the subject, but as he spoke, he also talked about himself.
Tang Tian looked at Davis' longing eyes, hesitated for a moment, and pulled Davis into the private room.
Inside, Brogdon and Alexander were playing with cheerleading beauties.
Tang Tian came in and waved, and the two of them immediately took the girl out.
"ad, there is something I haven't announced yet, but I think I should tell you in advance."
Tang Tian said with a serious expression.
Davis was still in a beautiful fantasy. When he heard Tang Tian suddenly be so serious, he pulled his thoughts back and looked at Tang Tian with confusion.
"I will announce my retirement from the NBA after the championship parade."
Tang Tian said calmly.
"What?!"
Davis never expected Tang Tian to say that.
"Why?"
After seeing Tang Tian nodding, he didn't understand at all.
Tang Tiancai is 27 years old and has just achieved the peak performance of his career.
Choosing to retire at this time?! This is simply incomprehensible!
"Maybe I'm like Jordan, this sport is no longer challenging for me."
Tang Tian smiled and said with a smile when he saw Davis' expression.
Davis was stunned for a moment.
He didn't play the entire series of the Lakers, and Tang Tian almost defeated the Lakers led by James and Durant with his own strength.
To be honest, basketball has no challenge to him as he said.
"Okay, I'm just kidding. I just want to spend more time with my family. I have had three children in the past few years, but the time I spent with them together has not been a few months. I just want to take a break. Maybe one day I think it's OK and come back."
Tang Tian put away his smile and changed his words.
This may be a reason why Davis is better accepting it, and it is one of his reasons.
Davis said that the five consecutive championships, or even ten consecutive championships, is very beautiful, but if it really has ten consecutive championships, it will be five or six years later, and he will miss the childhood of his child.
Not to mention that in order to achieve this goal, he needs to invest more energy and spend less time with his family.
So he made a choice.
A choice that seems incredible to others but is relatively simple to him.
For him, the honor of four consecutive championships has been fulfilled, and no one in the league can challenge him now.
As for the future, as he said, he is not unable to make a comeback.
With his strength, he can still rule the league after his comeback.
After hearing what Tang Tian said, Davis knew that Tang Tian had thought about this decision.
There was a little frustration on his face.
His fantasies may be shattered next season. If this Pelicans loses Tang Tian, he will definitely not be able to do it alone.
"I haven't left. After I retire, I will be the team boss. I will serve in the team management. We are still together. I just don't play."
Tang Tian saw Davis' expression change, touched his head and said.
Davis's expression calmed down a little after hearing this.
Tang Tian’s ability is not only on the court, but also off the court. In recent years, Tang Tian is making suggestions on the Pelicans’ draft picks and trades.
If Tang Tian remains in the management after retirement, the Pelicans will still be the favorite team to win the championship.
"And I'll try to find a new partner for you."
Tang Tian continued.
Davis's eyes flashed again, but when he saw Tang Tian not continuing, he didn't continue to ask.
After all, the door to the free agent market has not yet opened. Even if Tang Tian said it now, it would be useless until he succeeded.
"That's the World Cup?"
Davis remembered what he and Gasol said after winning the championship, and they all wanted to bring a world championship to their country.
"I can play, I'm just temporarily retiring from the NBA stage."
Tang Tian replied affirmatively.
He will not only play in the World Cup, but also play in the Tokyo Olympics next year.
He will definitely not miss this opportunity to win the Chinese championship trophy on Japan's territory.
Davis had almost recovered when he heard this.
He understood Tang Tian’s decision and accepted it.
Tang Tian had already made the decision, and he knew that nothing he said was useless.
And he can also be matched with Tang Tian in other fields, which is already good for him.
"Don't tell anyone until I announce it."
Tang Tian finally reminded.
Davis nodded.
Two days later, the Pelicans' four-game winning game was played in New Orleans.
This year's parade is the largest, and both players and fans are immersed in a carnival atmosphere.
Including Tang Tian.
He wore a big gold chain and a big watch, and a cigar in his hand whistled at the beauty and drizzled champagne.
On the bus, Davis was feeling a little complicated when he looked at Tang Tian who was devoted to his whole body.
Perhaps only he in the world knows that this is Tang Tian’s final championship game.
And this is also the reason why Tang Tian will be so crazy.
Chapter completed!
