CHAPTER 467: CHAPTER 379: CHAMPIONS—DENVER NUGGETS!

G4 began quickly just one day after the end of the G3 match.

In this game, the Knights had lost their spirit, and neither Owen nor James had strong desire to fight.

Although they verbally claimed they hadn’t given up, their actions showed otherwise.

The game was pulled apart by the Nuggets from the start.

The Knights’ fans on site saw this scene and kept booing; they were dissatisfied with the situation.

They couldn’t believe they couldn’t even resist the Nuggets.

Barkley said, "If they keep playing like this, Owen and James will definitely split up after this season."

Smith said, "The Knights have no fighting spirit at all."

....

....

G4 went unsurprisingly, and the final score was set at 121 to 105, with the Nuggets winning easily.

When Butler tossed the ball towards the sky, all the Nuggets players ran onto the court.

James placed his hands on his hips, breathing heavily, and casually removed his headband.

In this series, James gave his all, averaging 32 points, 8 rebounds, and 8 assists, with a shooting percentage of 53%.

But his presence seemed to highlight Zeng Xingyang’s greatness.

The Knights had no hope in this series.

It seemed as the outside world said, the finals had already ended in the West.

The depth difference between the Knights and Nuggets was too large.

Love seemed not to be a true All-Star; he was very weak against the Nuggets’ tough defense.

In this series, he averaged 14 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 assists; as a big man, his shooting percentage was only 42% — a disastrous performance.

"Congratulations to you guys," James generously said as he went over to embrace Zeng Xingyang.

Zeng Xingyang hugged James, Owen, Love, and others one by one; these people were also part of his youth, and now he had defeated them and stood at the peak.

After sending off the Knights, the remaining were the Nuggets players and fans.

Everyone surrounded Zeng Xingyang and Jokic in the center.

Zeng Xingyang averaged 42 points, 14 assists, and 6 rebounds during the finals, while Jokic averaged 22 points, 15 rebounds, and 8 assists — undeniably superstar-level stats.

"We are champions!"

"We are champions!"

"Champions!!"

After a season of battles, the entire Nuggets team was celebrating heartily.

Zeng Xingyang was extremely happy, understanding why so many superstars wanted to win a championship — the feeling of defeating all opponents and standing at the peak was truly fantastic.

Zeng Xingyang knew how strong the Warriors were this season; he had used every means to defeat this opponent.

Finally, he got his wish.

Mike Malone was also emotional and shed tears; he hadn’t expected the Nuggets to win the championship in the second season after choosing Zeng Xingyang.

Once, Mike Malone imagined a championship, thinking it was far away; but with each victory against opponents, he gradually realized no one could stop the Nuggets from winning a championship.

Winning the championship was truly wonderful.

Butler was the first to call his adoptive parents: "I won the championship!!"

The boy once abandoned by his mother had now won the championship.

Pope blew a kiss to the camera immediately, knowing his wife and child were watching, and he was very excited.

And Jokic? He quietly went to the front row of the family section to embrace his fiancée.

Jokic’s emotions were not as excited as the others; he habitually let the spotlight be on his teammates.

"Nikola, are you not happy?" Natalia asked.

"I am happy; I just think about when I can go home. I want to go back," Jokic said.

"Yes, after you finish these days’ work, we will go back together," Natalia said.

Natalia knew that Jokic preferred raising horses in Serbia over playing in the NBA.

To Jokic, playing in the NBA was more like a job — a job to feed the family.

Harris gave Zeng Xingyang a big hug: "You did it! Last season, you said you would lead us to win the championship, and you really did it."

Zeng Xingyang smiled and nodded.

There’s only one winner in basketball games!

There’s no tie option in the NBA championship.

This year’s championship’s only flaw was winning on the opponent’s court.

After all, it wasn’t their home court, and the fans here couldn’t thoroughly hype up the atmosphere.

.....

After the Championship trophy presentation, the Finals MVP was also undoubtedly awarded to Zeng Xingyang.

"Let’s congratulate Zeng Xingyang; he is this season’s record holder for single-game scoring, single-game assists, scoring leader in regular and playoff games, assists leader, steals leader, he’s also the All-Star vote leader, DPOY of the season, regular season MVP, First Team, First Defensive Team, and Finals MVP!!"

Zhang Weiping read off Zeng Xingyang’s honors, which shocked the nationwide fans.

Unconsciously, Zeng Xingyang had achieved such incredible achievements.

Sophomore Jordan couldn’t accomplish this, and Jordan was once again overshadowed.

Zeng Xingyang received the FMVP trophy from Bill Russell.

Russell said earnestly, "Zeng, I’ve never seen a young man more outstanding than you. You will change NBA history."

Zeng Xingyang replied, "Thank you, I’ll try my best to be the best."

After receiving the FMVP trophy, it was speech time.

Zeng Xingyang graciously thanked his teammates, staff, family, and female friends, then shouted in Chinese: "Summer vacation is coming soon, students, play fewer games and go out to exercise; teachers, remember to assign more homework."

"Don’t thank me, I went through this too."

"Hahaha!!"

Zeng Xingyang’s speech directly made the students watching the live broadcast in China sit on pins and needles.

Damnit.

You’ve been through the rain, don’t tear the umbrella now.

"Oh crap, Zeng Xingyang, you are not fair."

"I’m going to unfollow you, damnit."

"Ahhhh, nervous, even my teacher is a fan of Zeng Xingyang."

"NBA players are impressive, teachers, please don’t watch this part."

"Wuwuwu....."

Many students were alarmed by Zeng Xingyang’s speech.

They felt, for the first time, that the MVP was close to them...

Zeng Xingyang’s playful and down-to-earth attitude made many middle-aged people in China very touched.

Zeng Xingyang was still just a twenty-year-old young man.

Yet he had achieved such accomplishments — unbelievable!

After the speech, Zeng Xingyang went to celebrate with his teammates.

Zeng Xingyang held the championship trophy in his left hand and the FMVP trophy in his right hand.

"Ka ka ka!!!"

The photographer captured this scene.

For Zeng Xingyang, this was a perfect season!
