Under his leadership, the Cavaliers launched a 10-2 offensive, and the point difference quickly approached 20 points again.
Cole had no choice but to call a tiout and put all the main players in early.
This scene seed sowhat tragic.
Malone, of course, wouldn’t soften his hand because of the Warriors’ tragedy, so he also sent in the main players early.
This scene is a bit like G4, but in terms of situation, compared to G4, the roles of offense and defense have swapped!
The Warriors fought hard in this period, especially Curry, who ran like crazy under Hansen’s defense.
However, the Cavaliers had Hansen covering, so they could never close the gap again.
With 2 minutes left in the ga, the Warriors were still trailing the Cavaliers by 15 points.
The outco was decided, and Cole finally had no choice but to substitute the main players early.
Malone followed suit and took the main players off the court.
When both sides began to substitute extensively, the Cleveland fans who had been waiting on-site couldn’t hold back their celebration anymore.
This ti it wasn’t anticipation; they were really going to complete the defense!
The next two minutes were a delight for the Cavaliers players on the field.
Malone also thoughtfully left Wade on the court.
The ga ti soon reached the last 10 seconds.
The Cavaliers’ last offense, Wade dribbled past half-court, and then dribbled in place, not attacking.
The cheers from the scene had already exploded in advance.
"Beep~"
When the final buzzer sounded, the scene went completely crazy.
Wade held the ball in his arms, his eyes crimson.
Since 2010, he had been working hard for his second championship. Along the way, there were curses, doubts, betrayals. Now in 2017, seven years have passed, and he finally achieved his goal!
Moreover, he won the championship stepping over Jas. Jas had finally repaid the championship he owed him!
The Cavaliers players on the sidelines also began celebrating wildly.
Unlike Wade, Deron, as a veteran, jumped onto the court more excitedly than the young players.
He had enough reason to be excited, knowing how vexed he felt with the Lakers last season. But this season with the Cavaliers, he played a significant role and was consistently in the rotation.
Just like Wade, he also personally won this championship!
Of course, Deron wasn’t alone. Korver, Covington, and these "new signings" from that original trade to Cleveland followed behind him onto the court celebrating wildly.
The person they were most grateful to at that mont was Hansen, followed by Irving.
If Irving hadn’t requested a trade, they wouldn’t have co here, and naturally wouldn’t have won this championship.
"Champions, I have won the championship! I’m a champion!"
Over by the substitution bench, there was another guy so excited he forgot to rush onto the court.
Little Jones probably felt like he was dreaming.
He was an undrafted player with dunking skills, barely making it into the 15-man roster.
Now he’s miraculously a champion?!
Is Jas the Chosen One?
No, he is!
He excitedly shouted at Jokic, who was still sitting on the bench.
Jokic rely smiled.
At this mont, he felt happy and relieved from a burden.
Relief from the burden because, as said at the bonfire party, the team didn’t lose the championship because of him.
Happy because he was about to beco the man with the best racehorses in Serbia!
Little Jones was not satisfied with Jokic’s calm reaction, so he turned to Hansen and shouted.
Hansen was sitting there recovering his energy.
Even though Malone had substituted the main players two minutes early, the Cavaliers fought hard tonight.
Especially in the last quarter, despite the seemingly decisive situation, to maintain the point difference when others lacked stamina and couldn’t score, it was basically Hansen hamring in one point after another.
So when he heard Little Jones shouting, he wasn’t disturbed by his emotions, but felt a bit noisy.
He turned his head with an expression that said "Is a championship worth being so excited?" prompting Little Jones to quiet down.
At that mont, Wade regained his composure and approached Hansen.
Hansen turned to see Wade and stood up, Wade directly reached out and gave Hansen a big and powerful hug.
"Thank you, Han!"
Wade’s words were heartfelt.
Without Hansen, he would leave the league with regrets like Kobe.
Perhaps with his character, he might even swallow his pride to return to the Heat, grudgingly reconciling with Riley.
But now, all this changed since joining the Cavaliers.
"Don’t thank , you should thank yourself. This is our victory."
Hansen wasn’t being polite. Wade made sacrifices after joining the Cavaliers and brought great help to the team.
It’s no exaggeration to say, if Wade wasn’t brought in during that trade, due to Irving’s mid-season request for a trade ssing up the rotation, they would have already fallen against the Celtics in the East Finals.
Wade nodded vigorously.
After briefly celebrating on the court, they returned to the locker room for another round of revelry.
It was then that Hansen gave the "little gift" he had ntioned earlier to Jokic.
It was a small bottle of Sprite.
Jokic was stunned because Hansen was urging him to break his abstinence.
But Hansen’s next words made him feel relieved.
"Sprite is not cola."
