Everything is ready.

All Lakers players, coaching staff, bosses and others put on championship T-shirts and championship hats prepared in advance, and then stood in the center of the stage.

On the podium in front stands the glittering O'Brien Cup!

The award ceremony will begin.

The brightly dressed host took the stage first, gave a passionate opening speech, and then announced that NBA President David Stern would present the award to the Lakers.

Accompanied by thunderous applause, David Stern shined on the stage under the spotlight.

As the president and helm of the NBA, he has made a huge contribution to the development of the NBA.

It can be said that Stern is indispensable for the NBA's transformation from a small basketball league in the United States to a major sports league that attracts worldwide attention.

It was he who brought the NBA to the world.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much for being here to witness a great game."

"The Celtics and Lakers gave us an unprecedented performance in the Finals, especially the Game 7, which is enough to go down in history."

"And the Lakers defeated the Celtics and won the NBA championship again after 5 years."

"Now, let's congratulate the Lakers again."

With his iconic smile, David Stern completed a speech and then raised the championship trophy.

Lakers owner Jerry Buss stepped forward, received the championship trophy with excitement, and raised it high.

Then he passed on the championship trophy.

Phil was the first to get the championship trophy, touched it, and passed it to Kobe.

Kobe excitedly kissed the trophy and passed it to Jiang Chen...

"Now, there is another exciting honor to be announced, and that is the finals MVP!"

"After voting, the player who won the All-Star MVP of this finals is Kobe Bryant, the star player from the Lakers!"

"He averaged 27.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 2.8 steals per game throughout the series, dominating both offense and defense!"

David Stern said loudly.

The big shot of the scene showed Kobe for the first time.

Kobe smiled and walked up and took the Finals MVP trophy from David Stern.

Then, the big camera focused on Jiang Chen standing in the crowd.

The lens language seems to be expressing something.

"Sure enough, the finals MVP award was given to Kobe, not Jiang Chen."

Buckley said with some regret.

"There is no way, Jiang Chen has played too few games, only played two games."

"Even if he plays incredible statistics and saves the Lakers, the selection of Finals MVP still depends on the performance of the entire series."

"Obviously Jiang Chen's contribution to the team in the first five games was zero."

Reggie Miller said that he had already expected it. After all, Kobe is the absolute ace of the Lakers.

"Although he did not win the Finals MVP, Jiang Chen's name has been forever engraved in the history of the NBA Finals!"

"His great performance will be remembered forever, and he is only 20 years old! This is already amazing."

Buckley said with a change of tone.

"Yes, I believe Jiang Chen can still shine in the NBA next season! I am very optimistic that he will surpass me in the future and become the number one three-point shooter in NBA history!"

"Every time I think about his crazy three-point performance, I can't help but get excited."

Reggie Miller also said, full of expectations.

On the court.

Kobe is being interviewed.

"Hey, Kobe, you won the fourth championship trophy of your career and the first championship trophy after leaving O'Neal. How do you feel now?"

the host asked.

"To be honest, I was very surprised! I thought we were going to go home in the sixth game! But Jiang Chen made a miraculous explosion and helped the team reverse the game. This is how we got this championship trophy!"

"I have to thank him."

"Although I won the Finals MVP, without Jiang Chen, we would have had no chance of winning the championship. The Lakers will not forget his contribution in the Finals, and the fans will also remember his great three-pointer.

Performance!"

"The MVP of the last two games is definitely Jiang Chen."

"I hope we will still have the opportunity to fight together next season and lead the Lakers to the championship again."

Kobe said with a smile, with a hint of cunning in his eyes.

The host was stunned.

What is going on?

Why does this sound so slightly...meaning to please?

The big screen once again showed Jiang Chen standing in the crowd.

Although he didn't win the Finals MVP, his shots were no less than Kobe's.

"Oh! What Kobe said is wonderful! Are you starting to win people's hearts now?"

Barkley said with some surprise, he didn't expect the arrogant Kobe to praise a rookie.

"Jiang Chen only signed a one-year basic salary contract with the Lakers this season. Now that the season is over, the contract has expired and Jiang Chen has become a free agent. I believe many teams will be interested in him."

"Kobe Bryant expressed his willingness to continue cooperating with Jiang Chen in advance and has already gained an advantage in this battle for talent."

Reggie Miller said, with a curious look on his face.

Will Jiang Chen stay with the Lakers?

If they stay, the Lakers will be the hottest championship team in the league next season.

After Bynum returns from injury, the Lakers will be able to form a super five-star lineup with Kobe, Jiangchen, Gasol, Bynum and Odom!

If Jiang Chen chooses to leave, which team will he choose as the next stop of his career?

No matter what Jiang Chen chooses, his career is full of light!

On the court.

The happiest person at this time is Lakers general manager Pukucek.

With what Kobe Bryant said just now, I believe that renewing Jiang Chen's contract will become very simple. It is best to renew Jiang Chen's contract with a middle-class contract with an annual salary of several million US dollars.

In this way, the team can pay less luxury tax and maintain strong competitiveness in the new season.

Kupchak thought happily, and couldn't wait to talk to Jiang Chen about contract renewal, but now he has no chance and can only wait until the post-game interview is over.

He decided to wait for Jiang Chen at the entrance of the arena and try to settle the matter tonight, otherwise he would end up worrying.

Jiang Chen's performance in the last two games of the finals was so amazing that he will definitely be sought after by other teams, so he must not let other teams take advantage of him.

...

After Kobe finished his acceptance speech, the championship award ceremony ended.
Chapter completed!
