Los Angeles Clippers, NBA Champions

Under the basket, Wallace, Li Chen, and Wang Zhizhi constantly vied for advantageous positions.

Just then, the basketball rolled out of the basket.

At that moment, all four of them jumped up.

Li Chen's speed was unmatched by the other three.

His hands stood out from the crowd, gripping the basketball tightly.

At this moment, the NBA NBA Finals have come to an end.

But then, an unexpected event occurred.

A giant hand of the Wallace the Roaring Heavenly Venerate tried to snatch the basketball from Li Chen's hands.

However, Li Chen held on tightly, Wallace the Roaring Heavenly Venerate couldn't regain possession of the ball.

But Ben Wallace's big hand arrived, and he knocked the basketball out of Li Chen's hands with his fingertips.

Meanwhile, there are 4 seconds left on the clock.

After landing, the four of them jumped again in unison.

Li Chen demonstrated his responsibility as the team's core player at crucial moments.

He grabbed the rebound again, with only two seconds left in the game.

It's fair to say the Pistons have no time left to mount a comeback.

It's worth noting that Li Chen always adheres to the principle that the basketball should never be left in his hands, and this time was no exception. He threw the basketball towards his own basket.

The moment the basketball soared high into the air, the final whistle blew.

But the basketball was still flying; it crossed the center line, the three-point line, and finally slammed hard onto the backboard.

Thud! Swish! The basketball went in miraculously!

The Pistons fans were stunned, the Pistons players were stunned, their Clippers teammates were stunned, and even Li Chen himself was dumbfounded.

They all thought to themselves, "Damn it! How did they even get in?"

The Clippers won 103-96.

At this moment, the Clippers' bench players reacted. They rushed onto the court, lifted Li Chen up, and then tossed him into the air repeatedly.

Pistons fans were disgusted by this scene.

In this game, Pistons' Hamilton played 45 minutes, shooting 6-for-18, scoring 21 points, 4 assists, and 3 rebounds, including 2-for-4 from three-point range and 7-for-13 from the free-throw line.

Elton Brand played 40 minutes, shooting 6-for-15 for 15 points, 1 assist, and 2 rebounds, including 1-for-3 from three-point range and 2-for-4 from the free-throw line.

In the TNT broadcast room.

"Oh! Congratulations to the Clippers on winning their first championship!" Barkley laughed heartily.

Kenny Smith continued, "This is truly a historic moment for the Clippers; their hard work has finally paid off."

Barkley nodded meaningfully. "Yes, this team has experienced a lot of setbacks, but they never gave up and ultimately succeeded."

The two looked at each other, their eyes filled with approval and admiration.

Barkley's gaze shifted to the players celebrating their victory on the court, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Their fighting spirit is truly admirable; no matter what difficulties they encounter, they persevere."

Kenny Smith nodded in agreement. "That's right, this Clippers has shown strong teamwork and tenacity."

They silently gazed at the man being tossed about, as if they could feel the affirmation and gratitude that every Clippers player held for that Asian man.

Barkley remarked with a touch of emotion, "This was truly an unforgettable game. Watching them overcome all difficulties and achieve their dreams reminded me of the saying—'Persistence is victory.'"

Kenny Smith nodded in agreement, adding, "They not only brought joy to the fans, but also proved to the world the power of hard work and perseverance."

They looked at each other again, their eyes revealing boundless admiration and respect for the Clippers.

They deeply realized that success is not only the fruit of victory, but also the crystallization of each team member's daily hard work and sweat.

On the court, the Clippers players were both excited and filled with mixed emotions.

The 2004 championship was of great significance to the Clippers, as it was their first championship in franchise history.

Before this, they had experienced many difficulties and setbacks, but the players did not give up and kept striving.

NBA Finals, the Clippers were constantly under pressure and struggling to breathe. But every time they wanted to give up, that man would step up and give them hope, and in the end, they finally won the final victory.

This is a remarkable achievement for them, as they had to overcome many difficulties to win.

When they returned to the lounge, they chanted "Li Chen MVP!" Li Chen's outstanding performance had won them over.

Meanwhile, they sprayed champagne to their hearts' content, filling the entire locker room with the aroma of wine and laughter.

They not only won on the field, but also created an unforgettable moment in the locker room.

At the same time, Li Chen also noticed that some Clippers fans had actually come to Detroit to watch the game, so Li Chen told them they could celebrate with them.

So they selected ten representatives to participate in the Clippers' celebration ceremony.

This celebration has become a legendary moment in NBA history, ensuring that people will forever remember the Clippers' great achievement in 2004.

The awards ceremony then began.

First, they distributed NBA championship T-shirts and hats to the Clippers players, then interviewed the owner and general manager, and finally presented them with the NBA Finals championship trophy.

But Sterling had no idea the Clippers would win the championship early tonight; right now, he's making love with his girlfriend.

Therefore, only General Manager Elgin Baylor was present.

When Elgin Baylor received the O'Brien Cup, he was visibly moved, as it was the first time he had ever truly held the O'Brien Cup in his hands. At that moment, he trembled with excitement.

Yes, David Stern could clearly feel Elgin Baylor's excitement.

"Congratulations, Elgin," David Stern said with a smile.

Elgin Baylor smiled broadly and said, "Oh! Thank you, David."

He then went to Li Chen's side and said, "Kid, you did a great job. This is your honor."

"No, no, no! Mr. Baylor, this is an honor for our Clippers."

A moment later, Li Chen received the O'Brien Cup from Elgin Baylor.

When Li Chen lifted the O'Brien Cup, the highest honor in the NBA, fans in China and fans of the Los Angeles Clippers in the United States raised their hands and cheered.

The O'Brien Cup shone brightly in Li Chen's Li Chen, representing his hard work and countless days and nights of training.

He felt his heart pounding harder and harder, as if the whole world was applauding his glory.

Domestic fans and Los Angeles Clippers fans instantly became one, witnessing together a moment—a moment that belonged to Li Chen.

Li Chen felt that his hard work had finally paid off; this was the most glorious moment of his basketball career.

His eyes gleamed with pride and emotion; he knew this was not just his personal victory, but a shared glory for all his fans.

In that instant, he deeply understood the allure of basketball. A slight smile played on his lips. This was just the first step; the next step would be to win even more championships. He thought to himself silently.

Then, the MVP was interviewed.

In the TNT broadcast room.

"Haha! My idol deserves the FMVP!" Barkley announced with a hearty laugh.

"Yes, Charles, he contributed 66+25+22+35 points in the four NBA Finals games, averaging 37 points, 11.2 assists, and 5.5 rebounds per game."

"Oh my God! He's averaging 37 points per game, surpassing Jordan's 33.6 points!" Barkley exclaimed dramatically.

"Hey, hey, hey! Charles, don't do that. Remember you're a commentator now. Jordan played 35 NBA Finals."

"Haha! They're all the same, they're all the same."

Kenny Smith "..."

After receiving the NBA Finals MVP trophy, Li Chen delivered his acceptance speech.

"First of all, I want to thank the fans. I feel incredibly honored and excited to be standing here."

Winning the FMVP award is a huge honor for me and a reward for my relentless efforts.

Secondly, I want to thank my teammates. Without your support and help, I could not have achieved what I have today.

Our collective efforts and the power of unity have given me the opportunity to stand here and receive your praise.

Then, I want to thank the coaching team. It is your guidance and training that has allowed me to continuously improve on the basketball court and become a better player. Of course, the person I am most grateful to is Coach Alvin Gentry. Without him giving me this opportunity, I wouldn't be standing here.

In addition, I would like to thank my family and friends.

It is your support and encouragement that has enabled me to persevere and forge ahead in the face of difficulties and setbacks.

Your love and care are my motivation and my eternal support.

Back home, Li Chen's mother wiped away her tears and said, "My child, you will always be our pride."

As she spoke, she grabbed Li's father's ear, "Look, look! Open your two dog eyes and see! How can playing basketball not bring glory to the country?"

Li's father grinned, "Hey, hey, hey! Let's talk, try to use words instead of fists."

Mr. Li never expected that his attempt to educate his son would backfire, unleashing his wife's shrewish nature. It's truly a sad story.

At this point, Li Chen continued, "I will continue to work hard to improve my abilities and win more championships for the team."

At the same time, I also hope to exert a greater influence so that more people can benefit from the joy and health that basketball brings them.

Finally, I want to say thank you to everyone who has supported me. Your love and support are the driving force and confidence on my path forward. I will continue to work hard and live up to your expectations. Thank you again!

At the same time, he silently thought to himself, "One day I will make more Chinese people shine in the NBA."

After taking a group photo, all the players left the stadium.

When the Clippers returned to Los Angeles, fans cheered and welcomed their heroes.

Next, the Clippers began their parade.

During this time, Elton Brand shouted, "Chen, this feels so good! I love it!"

Haha! I like it too.

Meanwhile, Donald Sterling looked extremely displeased; this black man had dared to disobey his orders and make him lose face.

Yes, he felt extremely ashamed. After all, there's nothing more embarrassing than the team winning the championship and him, the owner, not being there in person.

It's important to know that Donald Sterling is a complete racist, especially towards Black people; he harbored a deep hatred for Alvin Gentry.

After the parade, the Clippers went to a nightclub to party.

Meanwhile, seeing Li Chen win the championship in just his second season, LeBron James felt a pang of envy, wondering when he could finally reach that stage himself.

In the noisy nightclub, Malone sat next to Li Chen, raised the cocktail in his hand to him, and then drank it all in one gulp.

Li Chen also raised his wine glass, and then finished speaking in one swift motion.

At this moment, Karl Malone said earnestly, "Chen, thank you for making my dream come true."

"Carl, what kind of talk is that!"

Malone grinned, saying nothing, but he knew in his heart that if he went to the Lakers, he would have a lifelong regret. That's why he said those words just now.

The next day.

In the General Manager Office.

Donald Sterling, you need to think twice! If you do this, the players will definitely feel resentful.

Donald Sterling abruptly looked up and coldly stared at Elgin Baylor, saying, "They dare, it was me..."

At this point, he wisely shut up. He knew his place; he could freely discriminate against people of all races except whites in front of his girlfriend, but he wouldn't say such things in front of Elgin Baylor.

However, Elgin Baylor knew that what Donald Sterling didn't say next was definitely not a good thing.

At that moment, Donald Sterling stood up, slammed the door, and left.

After Donald Sterling left, Elgin Baylor plopped down on the sofa.

He rubbed his temples. He'd just won the championship, and now all this mess had to happen. Damn Donald Sterling, you bastard.

When Alvin Gentry received the call from Elgin Baylor, he chuckled and said, "Elgin, don't worry, I expected this. Anyway, I've already won a championship once, just like that bastard Popovich. I've won one championship, so I have no regrets."

Elgin Baylor sighed slightly and said, "Alvin, I will try my best to persuade Donald Sterling."

Alvin Gentry didn't say anything, and after a few more casual words, the two hung up the phone.

Alvin Gentry reclined in his armchair, squinting as he enjoyed the soft morning sunlight of Los Angeles.

Li Chen woke up exceptionally late today because his teammates had forced him to drink a lot of alcohol last night. Even though he was physically stronger than most, those bastards still managed to get him drunk.

At that moment, the door was gently pushed open, and Li Chen turned to look at the doorway.

When Avril saw that Li Chen was awake, she happily said, "Chen, congratulations on winning the championship. This is my reward for you."

As she spoke, she placed the steak she had carefully prepared in front of Li Chen.

Li Chen took a sniff and his appetite was whetted.

So he picked up his knife and fork and began to eat heartily, while thinking to himself how to train Avril to become a female chef who enjoys cooking Asian cuisine.
