"Congratulations on the Eastern Conference championship."
Su Xi walked into the locker room and offered his congratulations to Artest, who was missing a front tooth. Artest was so excited he had torn his jersey and was now wearing an Eastern Conference Champions T-shirt. The championship trophy itself was clutched tightly in Reggie Miller's arms, who wore the expression of a gay man who had just met the man of his dreams.
Little O'Neal wore a good-natured grin. He would be stepping onto the court for the NBA Finals for the first time, and he was over the moon.
Everyone in the locker room was showing their joy and excitement in different ways.
Su Xi, on the other hand, seemed to be the calmest person there, though everyone thought he had the most reason to get carried away with excitement. After all, he was only 19, had already made history by leading his team to the Finals, and it was only his rookie season.
