Chapter 529 Year's Expectation
Chapter 529 Ten Years of Expectation
For any NBA team, the depth of obsession to win the championship is unimaginable to ordinary people.
Being able to win the championship means more games and more box office revenue.And even a series of peripheral commercial products will create huge benefits for the team.Of course, this is only what you can see right now.Once the team wins the championship, the number of times the team will receive national live broadcasts next season will greatly increase.The increase in exposure rate plays a decisive role in the team's commercial development and the increase in broadcast income.More importantly, after the team wins the championship, its own worth will rise with the team's championship.After the commercial value of the team has increased, the owners are also willing to spend more money to build the team.
Another point is that after the team wins the championship, it will increase its attractiveness to powerful players in the market.A championship team like the Spurs tends to attract capable players who very much hope to win a championship in their careers.In this way, some teams will continue to strengthen their combat effectiveness like a snowball to win more championships.
For players, the substantive income brought by winning the championship is second. Every year, many give up big contracts and choose to join a team that can hit the championship.Some even left the teams and cities they fought for all their lives.
Glory is the deepest obsession in their hearts.Especially those players who have already played well in the league, they hope to have the glory of a championship in their careers.But this is out of reach for many of them.
But the harder it is, the more tempting it is.The championship is like a candle, attracting countless players to turn into moths and go forward.However, not every player has such an opportunity.Moreover, the vast majority of players do not have such opportunities.I have to say that the Thunder players are all lucky.Especially An Luo, as a second-year rookie, it is really rare to have the opportunity to win the championship!
An Luo immediately joined the celebration of the Thunder players.With Westbrook and Paul George surrounded by all the fans.Afterwards, everyone huddled together, jumped and turned around happily.
From the moment the game ended, the entire Chesapeake Energy Arena cheered.Everyone chanted their most iconic slogan in unison:
"OKC!"
"OKC!"
"OKC!"
……
After a brief celebration, Westbrook took his teammates and took the initiative to find the Cavaliers players.Although there was no mercy in the game, it did not affect the emotions between the players.In the NBA, most players have a good relationship.Now that the game is over, as the winner, Westbrook should naturally look like a winner.
He took the lead in hugging James.
"Congratulations, Russell! You guys are great!"
James is not particularly disappointed.After all, for so many years, what kind of storms and waves he has not experienced!As a model for the entire league and a benchmark for most young players, his attitude is worthy of recognition both on and off the court.Therefore, he expressed his congratulations to Westbrook very sincerely.
"Thank you! LeBron! We finally didn't continue to lose to you in this arena!"
After hugging James, Westbrook found Love.The two brothers put their heads together and whispered.
An Luo also hugged James.Although he is not a fan of the opponent, he admires him very much in his heart.
"Nice job, buddy!"
"Ugh! Where is it! Haha!"
An Luo didn't expect that the other party would talk to him, after all, he had never encountered such a thing before.The conversation was awkward, but it was a good start.
"The game is over! Let us congratulate An Luo and the Oklahoma City Thunder! They defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers led by LeBron James and won the NBA 2017-18 championship!"
On the other side of the ocean, the guest commentator in the live broadcast room said excitedly.Although he is not necessarily a fan of the Thunder, at this moment, the feelings he has shown make all domestic fans empathize.What everyone has been looking forward to ten years ago has finally come true at this moment!
An Luo became the first Chinese player to lead the team to the championship as a core player!As a Chinese defender, the cheers for him are so intense at this moment, how difficult it is for him!
"Bless them! Bless the Thunder, and bless An Luo. They contributed a wonderful finals to the fans all over the world. I wish them better and better in the future!"
"Westbrook has finally won the championship he has been looking forward to for a long time! Since the start of the playoffs this season, especially in the finals, his performance has been amazing. He let us understand what a new generation of top players is. Point guard. He used his actions to let us see how much a player can do for a team! There is no doubt that at this moment, he is the hero of the entire Oklahoma City."
"That's right! Westbrook is the heart of the entire Thunder. But I have to say that An Luo's contribution can also be called the hero of this city! It can even be said that almost no second-year player can do so Fits this Thunder team. Since entering the league, he has been the most reliable helper around Westbrook! He used his shot after shot to help the Thunder take the lead, and used his defense to prevent the opponent from rebounding."
……
In fact, the expectation of domestic fans is just to see their compatriots contribute at this stage.After all, there are still Chinese players with NBA championship rings.As for who and on which team, they probably don't care.But for all Oklahoma City fans, the Thunder are everything to them.In the past ten years, they have been preparing for this moment in every game.For this championship, they are far more nervous than most of the current Thunder players!
Therefore, they are also the most excited!
Not only the Thunder fans in the Chesapeake Energy Arena, but also for the Thunder fans, Westbrook fans, An Luo fans, and Paul George fans all over the world, this is a night that will be remembered forever!
I don't know how many Thunder fans laughed and cried like Westbrook.Especially those fans who gathered in various bars in Oklahoma, they reveled in the first place.In Oklahoma City tonight, it is destined to be unable to sleep!
