My Sixth Championship, Here I Come!

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was June 6—the day of Game 1 of the 2012–2013 NBA Finals.

The two teams facing off were the Boston Celtics and the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The two teams had already met in the Finals last season, and now they had reunited on the grand stage of the Finals. They truly had quite a fate between them.

So which team would strike first in this game? Let's wait and see!

Inside the Boston Celtics' locker room, everything proceeded in its usual orderly fashion.

Coach Jack went over the points the players needed to keep in mind during the game in detail, after which Goodwin would fire them up. Under normal circumstances, that was all there was to the locker room routine.

But tonight was different.

When Goodwin invited The Diesel, Shaquille O'Neal, to the front under the teammates' puzzled gazes, the atmosphere immediately grew tense.

"Some of you may not know this, but this season is The Diesel Shaquille O'Neal's final season as a professional. In other words, the upcoming Finals will be his last few games in the NBA. That's why I specifically invited him up here to say a few words before the Finals tip off."

Goodwin explained to his teammates.

Only then did the teammates come to a realization. So that was it.

At the same time, a hint of reluctance appeared in their eyes. After all, most of them had spent a full three seasons with The Diesel Shaquille O'Neal.

Three seasons meant more than 900 days.

The Diesel Shaquille O'Neal made a goofy face and said, "You don't need to be too sad. I'll come back to visit you often."

The Boston Celtics teammates: ￣□￣||

Upon hearing that, Paul Pierce immediately spoke for everyone.
