no shortcuts in basketball

Chapter 187 The seventh championship in Bulls history, the beginning of a legend! (Revision)

G3 of the finals ended with a bang, and the topic outside the court and the discussion on social media reached the highest level of the season.

Anything that determines one pales in comparison.

However, in TNT's latest program, the special guest "Magic" Johnson's remarks aroused new attention from fans.

Because he reminded others that the current trend of the game is highly consistent with that of when the digital players beat the Lakers.

The Digital Man and the Lakers also played fiercely in the first three games, and the G3 Digital Man only lost to the Lakers by 5 points.

But after that, the Lakers won the championship directly in one go.

But Barkley persisted.

"Dirk will return with full blood in the next game, and the Mavericks will drag the game into the Battle of Tianwang Mountain. At least, they will take the game to Chicago."

Although the Mavericks may not win the championship, it can be seen that Nowitzki's performance this year has convinced Barkley.

Or as the uncrowned king, he doesn't want Nowitzki to follow in his footsteps.

Before the G4 game, just as Barkley expected, the Mavericks released news that Nowitzki had fully recovered from the flu.

This also directly makes the outside world full of expectations for the upcoming G4.

Two days later, still at the American Airlines Center and still witnessed by many Dallas fans, G4 officially started.

However, the process of this game was different from what many people imagined.

Nowitzki was obviously out of shape in this game.

This is actually completely understandable. Nowitzki contracted the flu during the last game, and the interval between these two games was only two days.

Those who have had the flu should know that the virus attacks the body's immune system and may have sequelae.

Even if NBA players' physical fitness is different from ordinary people, it will take time to recover.

Not to mention that Nowitzki played such a high-intensity game while ill.

The Bulls took the lead almost immediately after the game started and then led until the end.

However, the Mavericks lost by only a dozen points in the end, because the Bulls' Xu Yong's touch also experienced ups and downs.

Because of the constant highlights, most people forget that he is only a second-year player.

If you asked Jordan to play in the finals as a sophomore, he wouldn't be able to perform at a high level.

Fortunately, Xu Yong is both offensive and defensive. If he didn't feel good, he put more energy into defense. As a result, he played crazy data of 5 steals and 3 blocks on the defensive end.

But no matter what, after successfully winning G4, the Bulls successfully got the match point in the finals.

This is getting closer to the trend predicted by Johnson.

“Do Dallasites have a chance?”

"Can Nowitzki recreate the magic?"

"Will the Mavericks become the first team in NBA history to come back from a 1-3 deficit?"

……

The media asked questions one after another, warming up G5, which may be the final battle of the finals.

"Don't give up. Before the final whistle blows, we have the same opportunity as them. Believe in yourselves." In the locker room before the game, Carlisle was trying hard to encourage his players with dark circles under his eyes.

He and Nowitzki are in different positions, but their experiences are very similar.

Just like the uncrowned king without a championship is ultimately inferior, so is the best head coach without a championship.

He also really wants to use this championship to prove himself.

"Don't, absolutely don't underestimate your opponent. This will be the most difficult battle you have ever experienced in Dallas. Our opponents will never give up. I hope this is your last battle of the season, but I hope this is also yours." The hardest fight.”

At the same time in the Bulls locker room, Thibodeau was also working hard to vaccinate his players.

He didn't want to repeat the relaxed state at the beginning of G3.

And he has never been one to open champagne in advance.

An hour later, the two teams, both with 100% concentration, staged a peak showdown at the American Airlines Center.

In this game, no one got sick, and no one performed abnormally. There was no battle to confer gods, and there was no battle to kill gods. There was just a wonderful offensive and defensive battle, as well as the formation and tactics of the head coaches on both sides.

The fans couldn't take their eyes away from it and expressed their emotions one after another.

I lamented the Mavericks' consistent resilience, showing no signs of giving up even when trailing 1-3;
I lament the Bulls' uncharacteristic maturity. After being baptized in the finals one after another, they look more and more like a champion.

You will meet good talents, and you will meet your opponents.

Who is better, the Bulls or the Mavericks, has the final answer after this game.

One minute before the end, 1 to 98, the Bulls led.

Facts have proved that when the two teams perform normally, the strength gap is about ten points.

The Mavericks are much better than outsiders expected, and the Bulls are indeed the stronger team.

When Carlisle replaced the main players, the fans applauded at the American Airlines Center.

Although they failed to win the championship in the end, they were defeated by the Bulls in an upright manner, and they were convinced of the loss.

To comfort themselves, they are the only team to defeat the Bulls in the playoffs this season. That is something that the Heat of the Big Three have never done.

Although, Nowitzki sat on the bench with his head lowered after the game, looking very disappointed.

This is expected. After missing this championship window, it may be difficult for him to get another chance.

Even he is not sure whether the Mavericks can continue to maintain their current strength.

You must know that this summer, the contracts of Chandler, Barea, Caron Butler, Stevenson, Peja and others will all expire. It will be difficult for the Mavericks to retain them at the same time.

Rebuilding is the best option for the Mavericks.

At this moment, he felt someone come over and tap him on the shoulder.

He looked up and saw Mark Cuban.

When he first came, the team's owner was not Cuban, and he didn't have much contact with the management at that time.

But after Cuban came, he paid special attention to him. He also admired Cuban's enthusiasm for the team. Over time, the relationship between the two became extremely close.

"You've done a great job." After Chandler consciously gave up his seat, Cuban said after sitting down.

"I will continue to strengthen the team next season. No matter how much luxury tax you need to pay, you will leave with a championship. This is my promise." What is a temperamental person? Cuban's words have already been vividly reflected.

Nowitzki was stunned when he heard it, but he couldn't help being moved.

Although none of them knew whether they would succeed in the end, they kept working hard and never gave up after failure.

At the other end of the court, the Bulls players have begun to stand up one after another.

Hinrich took the ball to the frontcourt and signaled that he would stop playing. The Bulls' championship moment was about to come.

The Bulls bench was already on its feet.

"duo~"

As the final buzzer sounded, the Bulls players began to rush onto the court.

O'Neal was the one who seemed the most excited. He immediately rushed to Hinrich and grabbed the game ball, and then used his other hand to make the "five" sign in the air.

Yes, he won his fifth championship, and now he and Kobe have the same number of championships.

Hinrich squatted on the ground and cried.

It's not that I cried because the basketball was robbed, but that seven years of perseverance finally paid off at this moment.

Looking around, except for Chandler on the opposite side, he is the only one left from the team seven years ago.

And probably no one would have thought that he would be the third person in the 03 Platinum Generation to win a championship after Wade and Luke Walton.

Yao Ming couldn't help shouting excitedly, then turned around and hugged Artest tightly, nodding repeatedly.

In the end, he did it, and he lived up to Artest's trust, and the two did it together.

At this time, beside him, Shane, Alston, and Novak all had red eyes.

What these guys couldn't do in Houston, they did in Chicago.

And except for Alston, who didn't get many opportunities, everyone else had highlights in the playoffs. Even Novak had a three-pointer.

Facts have proved that it is not that these people are not good enough, but only the Rockets management is not good enough.

Rose was already crying on the bench.

From the moment he was elected MVP, he began to bear tremendous pressure.

No one cares that he is only 21 years old. You must know that even James only led the team to the playoffs for the first time when he was 21 years old.

And this time his brothers could not protect him, and he could only face the overwhelming public opinion attacks alone.

But eventually he made it through.

Xu Yong was also very excited at this moment.

It has been six years since he was reborn. He has witnessed the scenery at four o'clock in the morning in too many places and left too many marks of sweat in those places, but at this moment, it was all worth it.

He noticed Rose, walked over and patted Rose.

Ross wiped his face with a towel, looked up with red eyes and saw Xu Yong, stood up, and hugged Xu Yong vigorously.

"Thank you, thank you." He kept saying thanks in his mouth.

Without Xu Yong, he may not only struggle in the finals, but also in the entire playoffs.

But fortunately, he met Xu Yong and not someone else.

Xu Yong reached out and patted his back hard.

Although Rose struggled a bit at the beginning of the Finals, he made good adjustments later. Without Rose, he and Yao Ming alone would not be able to defeat the Mavericks.

After hugging Rose, Xu Yong found Yao Ming again. The two laughed and hugged each other tightly.

Nine months ago, they were world champions, now, they are NBA champions!
They did what Kobe did.

And it was them, two Chinese people together.

On the court, Asik, Bill Walker, and Gibson are still running wildly. For young people, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

But they didn't run long, because there was a post-game handshake ceremony on the field.

"Keep up the good work." When shaking hands with Nowitzki, Xu Yong hugged the other person and said words of encouragement.

Can the Mavericks contend for a championship again?Xu Yongyong doesn't know, but what he knows is that with Cuban's character, there is a high probability that the Mavericks will not break up the team like in history, but will continue to strengthen.

Many people may not pay much attention, but the Mavericks' annual luxury tax during the Nowitzki era was among the top in the league.

For example, the Bulls and Heat's total salaries this season are both 6000 million, but the Mavericks' total salary is 500 million.

So the Mavericks make it to the Finals again?That may not be completely impossible.

"In the future... we will meet again." Nowitzki and Cuban rekindled their fighting spirit after chatting.

After the handshake ceremony was over, the Bulls players went back to the locker room.

There, they will put on T-shirts belonging to the championship and prepare for the following championship award ceremony.

Of course, before that, they have to do one more thing.

Celebrate with champagne.

Championship champagne, the sign of the winner!

In the locker room, the players picked up the champagne and started shaking it wildly, then opened the cap and sprayed it into the air.

But at this moment, Xu Yong noticed that Yao Ming's champagne could not be opened.gif.

It's not his fault, after all, it's the first time, and there's always a way out the first time.

Xu Yong went over to teach him at this time. As an NCAA champion, he also has rich experience in this area.

After he learned it, Yao Ming yelled like everyone else and swung the jet wildly.

"The coach is here!" Gibson, who was assigned to guard the door, turned around and shouted.

After hearing this, the team members quickly picked up the new champagne and started shaking it, with evil smiles on their faces.

When Thibodeau entered the locker room, he looked confused when he saw that all the Bulls players were motionless.

He could not stop hearing the cries of apes on both sides of the bank before. Why did the bird singing mountain suddenly become more secluded?
Before he could react, as Xu Yong shouted, the team members picked up the champagne in their hands and all aimed at Thibodeau and fired directly.

Almost instantly, Thibodeau took a 360-degree champagne bath and was drenched all over.

Thibodeau stretched out his hand and wiped his face. He was not angry, but had a happy smile on his face.

In fact, the moment the team won the championship, he was extremely excited. He turned around and hugged Malone next to him, who almost lost his breath.

That is to say, the camera did not capture him, otherwise this will most likely be the most gaffeful time of the Bulls head coach's season.

But at this moment, he felt the enthusiasm of the team members towards him, and he felt more and more happy inside.

In the first year of coaching, being the best head coach in the NBA and winning the NBA championship is the true peak of his debut.

By the time the Bulls players changed into T-shirts and came out, the venue had already set up the main stage for the awards ceremony.

Stern was also present at the venue at this time.

Because it has reached match point, which means the champion may be born at any time, Stern will be there every night.

In the arena, basically half of the fans are still present.

Most of these people are local Dallas fans.

Many people will not miss the championship award ceremony when they are there, and the Bulls won honorably.

Not to mention Xu Yong's previous remarks at the post-game press conference that made Dallas people feel comfortable, and the Bulls' victory over veterans such as Yao Ming and Artest.

It's all worth the wait.

Of course, there are far more than the nearly [-] people paying attention to the awards ceremony at this moment. At this time, tens of millions of people are waiting in front of the TV, especially on the other side of the ocean and in Chicago, waiting for the moment when the champion is born.

James is also in Miami watching this championship moment.

It might be strange to say it, but James was in an unusually good mood at this time.

Because he has determined that if the Heat break through from the Eastern Conference this year, they will definitely be able to complete a gentleman sweep like the Bulls. No matter how bad it is, it will still be 4-2, and there will never be a tiebreaker.

He had managed to convince himself that "we were just unlucky enough to be restrained."

And there is another point. The Bulls' current rotation has too many age and injury problems, which may break out at any time, and it may happen next season.

He has enough confidence to win his first championship next season.

So now he was drinking red wine and once again put himself into Rose's role to watch the live broadcast.

Members of the Bulls stepped onto the podium one after another.

At this time, Stern was chatting with Bulls owner Jerry Raunsdorf.

In fact, if you want to say you are happy, Raunsdorf is happier than the players.

After all, both Rose and Xu Yong are still so young, Chicago is about to usher in a new era, and he has too much money in his pocket.

By the time everyone was ready, reporters had already set up their guns and cannons before the award ceremony, and the award ceremony finally began.

"Great games require great opponents, and we have to first thank the Dallas Mavericks for showing their desire for a championship with their hard work and resilience."

Stern's first words were met with overwhelming cheers.

Although the Mavericks were swept by the Gentlemen in terms of the big score, any normal person who watched the game knows that the Mavericks are the only team that has a chance to defeat the Bulls in the playoffs.

Their performance deserves everyone's respect.

"Then let us congratulate the Chicago Bulls. They showed outstanding competitiveness. They were the final NBA championship in the 2010~2011 season."

The moment Stern made the announcement, the Bulls players couldn't help but start shouting.

Xu Yong could not hide his excitement and raised his hands and fists in front of the camera.

Everything was as Harden said, all his previous expectations had become a reality, and the feeling of having a dream come true was so wonderful.

Stern handed the championship trophy to Raunsdorf, who passed it to head coach Thibodeau after posing for a photo, and Thibodeau handed it to the Bulls players behind him.

Fans at the scene, in Chicago, and across the ocean, have begun to celebrate wildly for the Bulls.The Bulls team held the trophy high.

Championship time, toasting time.

Next, it is the interview time of the beautiful reporter and the voting time of FMVP.

FMVP is as valuable as MVP. At least until Iguodala became the winner of this award, it was recognized by the public.

It's just that its voting method is rougher than that of MVP.

There are only 11 media outlets voting in total, so there is great uncertainty in this award.

The reporter interviewed Raunsdorf, Forman and Thibodeau one by one, and then went to Xu Yong.

"How do you feel now that you won the championship in the second year of your career?"

The reporter was quite big. Xu Yongben glanced down and mentioned that he had never controlled a big ball before. Then he smiled and said: "I am very excited to win the first championship in the NBA. The first time. It feels great.”

"This is also Chicago's seventh championship and the first championship without Michael Jordan. We all know that you are a fan of Michael. Does this have any special meaning?" the beautiful reporter continued to ask.

"Yes, Michael has always inspired me to move forward. I am very lucky to be able to do what he has done in Chicago." Xu Yong's relationship with Jordan has greatly improved now, and he knows that Jordan is most likely watching the live broadcast at this time. He also blew a wave without hesitation.

"As for the seventh championship? I think this is a very good number. At least we don't have to say 'more than one, more than two...more than seven', we really won the seventh one." He then added road.

When these words came out, the whole place was filled with cheers.

Because of being eliminated, Dallas fans only respect Xu Yong out of respect for their opponents at most, but now you directly start a team with the Heat's Big Three, it's like Chinese and Korean netizens, meeting Japanese netizens, that's the sign of the same gun. .

"boom!"

James dropped the red wine glass in his hand.

However, because the home has wooden floors and wool blankets, the wine glass only made a dull sound when it fell to the ground.

He was so angry that he got off the seat and picked it up, only to be thrown again.

Well, this blanket worth hundreds of thousands of dollars is so thick, and the wine glass remains the same.

If it were a person, it would probably be smiling at him right now.

James took a long breath and stopped fighting with the wine glass. He sat back on the soft chair and looked at the TV with a ruthless expression.

Be proud, while this season is not over yet.

He also took note of this account, and he will pay it back with interest next season!

Stern stood aside at this time, and a staff member came over and whispered in his ear for a while.

He nodded.

The NBA is a business league, and the theory is jointly held by the thirty team owners. However, as the longest-serving league president (1984 to present) and the person who promoted the prosperity and development of the NBA, Stern has great influence on the NBA. The right to speak is unique.

So he actually has the right to decide many things most of the time.

If the NBA is compared to a gang, there is no doubt that he is the godfather.

Just now, a staff member asked him if he wanted to modify the FMVP voting results, and his answer was no.

After the beautiful reporters interviewed Rose and Yao Ming one after another, it was also the turn of the FMVP awards.

The staff brought the symbolic envelope, which contained the results of this FMVP selection.

The FMVP trophy is named after Bill Russell, so Russell also walked to the podium at this time.

At this time, the fans' eyes were not only full of expectation, but also full of curiosity.

There is no doubt that Xu Yong dominated the final period of G2 and played a god-killing battle in G3. He is the person with the strongest presence in the finals.

But there is still some suspense about this award, because purely in terms of statistics, Rose has adjusted his form since G2, and his statistics are not bad.

具体下来，徐永5场比赛的场均数据：25.6分5.2板4.2助攻2.6抢断1.4盖帽2.4失误，47.3%投篮命中率，39.5%三分命中率，92.2%的罚球命中率；

罗斯场均23.6分3.8板6.4助攻2抢断0.8封盖3.4失误，45.5%的投篮命中率，36.8%的三分命中率，82.8%的罚球命中率。

From the perception of the game to the statistics, you can understand why other players will compete for the ball and data in the finals, because data will determine the ownership of honors, but it will not reflect the details of the game.

Stern opened the envelope representing the result in front of the fans.

"The winner of the 2011 Bill Russell Trophy is..."

After a standard Stern pause.

"Xu Yong."

When Stern announced the result, there were bursts of cheers from the fans.

Xu Yong is the better one in terms of statistics, and he also played the God-killing Battle in G3, and he is also the more worthy one in terms of perception.

The Bulls players, including Rose, also applauded and congratulated Xu Yong and pushed him to the stage.

As players, they know that they cannot win this championship without Xu Yong, and Xu Yong deserves it.

Russell picked up the trophy belonging to FMVP.

Xu Yong calmly took the trophy, shook hands and hugged Mr. Russell.

Then, the beautiful reporter handed him the microphone, and it was time for his acceptance speech.

"I would say Derrick deserves this award as well, he is our team's MVP."

Before starting his formal acceptance speech, Xu Yong spoke of Rose alone.

As a reborn person, he understands this award very well.

In the last two of the Lakers' three consecutive championships, Kobe scored the most points on the team in the divisional playoffs. However, in the finals, he was unable to win this award because his opponents were weak inside, which led to the intensification of the conflict between the OK team;
James was criticized for his poor performance and saw that he would not get a trophy even if he won;
Durant won this award twice in a row, which led to increasing conflicts and estrangements between him and the local Warriors players;

Because the team was leading 2-0, Paul had other ideas and started to grab the ball.

So it is easy to conclude a rule. When the team does not have a very clear star who can stabilize everyone, this thing can easily become a bomb that destroys the team.

Especially since Rose is still the regular season MVP, maybe he doesn't have any ideas at this time, but with the media hype, it's hard not to have some ideas.

So Xu Yong used this method to emphasize the importance of Rose.

Rose was surprised and then moved by the cheers of his teammates and fans.

He played well in the finals, but a large part of the reason was because of Xu Yong.

Xu Yong puts him first, which really values ​​him.

Stern also showed a relieved smile at this time.

[Jordan's successor] was a big topic that he once hyped, but in the end no one could do it, and could only be demoted to [the top four shooting guards].

But when these words Chicago, championship, and rookie come together, it’s hard not to discuss that topic.

But in a more realistic situation, with Jordan's talent, he averaged 28 points per game in his first year in the league and 37 points in his third year. Counting injuries, he only played 18 games and was a performer. The Wizards still averaged 30+ per game in his two seasons. , led the team of two and three companies...

Facts have proven that you cannot carry the weight of [Jordan's successor] on your own.

Even if they won the Bulls their first championship since Jordan left.

But what about two people?

The youngest MVP, and the youngest FMVP who played his career masterpiece in the finals in his second year.

He felt that this might be another way to succeed.

So when the staff told him that it was Xu Yong and not Rose who won the FMVP, he did not change the result.

At this time, the results of the voting came out on social media.

Xu Yong received 5 votes, Rose 4 votes and Yao Ming 2 votes.

Yao Ming averaged 18 points, 10.5 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 2.3 blocks per game in the finals, with a shooting percentage of 53%. This data is a bit worse than Xu Yong and Rose, but he is worth it all.

After emphasizing Rose, Xu Yong then began to give his own acceptance speech.

"It's a team win."

After he opened the game with these words, far away in Charlotte, Jordan smiled like an old father.

Chicago's seventh championship seems to have nothing to do with him, but it seems that his contribution is indispensable.

In fact, Xu Yong said similar words when he won the NCAA championship, but after experiencing this finals, his understanding is obviously deeper.

"In my country, parents hope that their children can achieve something, or even surpass themselves. We call them 'hope for their children to succeed.' My parents are no exception. I come from a basketball family, and they all hope that I can become a basketball champion one day. , so in the end I did it, world champion and NBA champion."

Then when Xu Yong said the second sentence, Jordan couldn't help laughing.

The fishy smell of the sea is very authentic.

"I have to thank my teammate and my big brother, Yao Ming."

Xu Yong's third sentence surprised Yao Ming, but it also caused whistles from the scene.

Along the way, Yao Ming's toughness and responsibility have made him very popular in the United States.

If he wins the championship this time, his influence and status will be greatly improved.

"Yao was not the first Chinese player to land in the NBA, but he proved to all of us that Chinese people can also become NBA superstars. He inspired our generation."

"I want to thank Mr. Raunsdorf, one of the NBA's greatest owners;

I want to thank Mr. Forman, who brought Yao to Chicago and built us into a championship team;
I want to thank my coach Tom, he is the most devoted coach I have ever seen in basketball. I will not tell you that he is not married because he loves basketball too much;

I want to thank my teammates, Kirk, our totem; Shaq, our beast inside; Ron, our beast; Sean, our president; Tony, our best defensive player; Steve, our best defensive player. , our three-point killer...

Like I said, this is a team win and this award belongs not just to me but to everyone on this team. "

Echoing from beginning to end, Xu Yong is the perennial winner of perfect scores for primary school essays.

Of course, he added an extra sentence at the end.

"I know that there are countless fans who support us in the arena, in front of the TV, across the ocean, and around the world. Thank you to each of them. It is their support that brought us to the end and allowed me to get this honor. Bulls President champion."

Before putting down the microphone, he shouted a slogan.

All the Bulls players behind him raised their hands excitedly after hearing this.

The ribbons were sprayed on the spot, and then came the celebration moment for the champions.

Xu Yong's parents were also present. After getting off the awards stage, Xu Yong hugged his parents whom he hadn't seen for a long time and handed the FMVP trophy to them as if they were receiving certificates.

The faces of his parents were full of pride, and they hoped that their son would become a dragon. Now Xu Yong is really a giant dragon.

Harden and the others also went down to the field, all vying to touch Xu Yong's trophy.

"I told you!" Harden looked even more arrogant, as if Xu Yong could win the championship in Chicago because of his language.

In the end, the Devil's Four Musketeers took a group photo while touching the FMVP trophy. Just like Xu Yong said, rounding off, they also won the championship.

Xu Yong then took photos with some celebrities and left messages one after another. There were quite a few people present tonight.

Russell even pulled him and said hello for a while, which probably meant that he shouldn't be proud and should keep working hard.

Xu Yong could tell that those were not polite words, because Russell had seen too many ups and downs and participated in too many award ceremonies, so such polite words were no longer necessary.

Maybe he saw some shadows of Jordan in Xu Yong, so he would talk more with Xu Yong just like he said to Kobe, "I will be very proud that you are my son."

Xu Yong nodded seriously.

Second year, FMVP, championship, it is indeed easy to become complacent.

Especially for a 20-year-old.

If he wasn't a reborn, he would probably feel bloated as well.

Just like when a person has not achieved much, he will feel that money should be spent wisely, but when he earns more than one billion a year, he will feel that he cannot afford a 79 yuan eyebrow pencil because he does not work hard enough.

Changes in time and status are the easiest to change people's minds.

"Mr. Russell, I will." Xu Yong replied with sincere eyes and a sure tone.

……

At this time, fans have already started carnival on social media.

"This season has been so exciting, from the Heat's Big Three teaming up to book seven championships to the Bulls winning their seventh championship, it echoes from beginning to end." Comment from "KBforever".

"The best supporting cast, the best backdrop, and the Miami Heat that gave us so much fun this season."

"I'm so looking forward to it. What if the Heat don't win the championship next season?"

"We're going to break up the team. What else can we do? If your Big Three lose one season, you can still use it as an excuse to lose the second season? You can't say that you're a young Big Three, right?"

"I think they will at least fulfill the first four years of the contract, otherwise they will really be embarrassed to see others."

“We’ll see after next season.”

"This season is indeed exciting enough. The Spurs were defeated, the Lakers were swept, the Heat were swept, and the God-killing battle in the finals was full of elements."

"What year is it when the Bulls win another championship? I'm back in my youth, let's play "Sirius" to cheer up!"

"Now we invite the Chicago Bulls to appear, the 2 meter shooting guard, Michael Xu!"

"The youngest MVP, the youngest FMVP, the Chicago backcourt is infinitely youthful, and the Bulls era is coming again!"

……

Fans caroused all night long on social media, but the Bulls players did not go out to celebrate. Instead, after partying in the locker room, they returned to the hotel and took an early rest.

Early the next morning, they boarded a special plane back to Chicago.

When they landed in Chicago, O'Hare International Airport, only 27 kilometers away from the city center, was already packed with people.

The fans got up early and waited for their heroes to return.

When the team members got off the plane, many people were stunned.

There are so many people here that you can't even see them at a glance.

And at a glance, many of them are obviously gang leaders.

In other words, the scene was full of police, otherwise a few shuttles would have shot up into the sky to add to the fun.

As you can imagine, the championship celebration parade a few days later will be the most intensive work day for Chicago police officers of the year.

Xu Yong also fully felt the enthusiasm of the fans, because the scene was not much different from when he returned to China.

But this is understandable. The Bulls were once the city's greatest glory, and now they are again.

And after they walked a few steps, they saw the mayor of Chicago personally bringing people to greet them.

This scene is a bit big.

The United States is a federal country, and one place manages the affairs of one place. The resurgence of the Bulls is like Jordan's comeback, which can bring untold financial revenue to Chicago.

And they will be very busy these days. The championship parade is the final form. Before that, the Bulls will organize many activities.

This period of time was much more stressful than when Xu Yong was in Tempe, and they didn't have time until the championship parade.

Of course, when the day finally came, all the fatigue in my body was gone.

On this day, the crowds in Chicago were empty, and fans started from the entrance of the United Center and circled the city.

When the parade appeared in the fans' sight, the scene went crazy.

Because at the front of the parade, there was a man riding a tall horse. Looking at his clothes, he looked exactly the same as when Barkley rode a horse in the parade in Dallas. Even that man was obviously looking for Barkley's body type. actor.

This scene can be interpreted this way: On the Bulls' road to winning the championship, there must be a place for Barkley.

You said you were stealing bamboo shoots!
But the Chicago fans were excited.

And there is every reason to believe that Barkley will not be angry when he sees this scene, because this wave has helped him increase his popularity.

The championship parade team circled the city under the leadership of "Barkley". When they returned to the United Center, Xu Yong gave a speech on behalf of the Bulls.

No way, his previous speech at the Night of Champions was too spot on.

His speech revolved around the players of the team. If the championship night was just passed over because of the rush of time, then now it is time to introduce in detail the contribution of each member in this championship journey.

The feeling after this trip is that everyone on the Bulls, even Asik who was sitting on the bench handing out towels, also made his contribution.
