Chapter 484: Winning the Championship, Getting Used to It

After winning the championship, Durant and his group of Bulls players were finally liberated and able to leave the park and return to their normal life.

However, due to the poor overall environment, it is impossible to leave the park and go for a drive.

When we arrived at the park, there were not many activities to do and nothing delicious to eat.

So the Bulls had to take a special plane and return to Chicago with the championship trophy.

When the plane arrived at Chicago International Airport, the Bulls had just stepped off the plane when Bulls fans, who had received the news in advance, had already surrounded the scene.

Dunn observed and found that most of them were not wearing masks.

The few who did get masks had them custom-made, printed with the Bulls logo and in the classic red and white color scheme.

"Is this the championship parade?" Anthony asked curiously.

After all, I had never participated in one before. I only knew a little about it on TV and in newspapers.

For the past decade or so, Anthony has been just a spectator, envious of others for being able to win championships and have such a glorious experience.

And now that we have finally won the championship, we naturally have to participate in it and celebrate it in a big way.

Anthony had been thinking about these things on the plane.

I just didn't expect that the surprise would come a little early.

Normally, wouldn't the championship parade be held half a week or a week after the championship?

Is it because the home team cannot be seen in this year's park playoffs?
Anthony was wondering, and Duane quickly gave the answer: "No, the championship parade will definitely take a few days.

Don't underestimate Chicago, it's a basketball city! There are more fans here than you think!
You may not believe it, but on the day of the championship parade, the number of gunshots in Chicago will be reduced by at least 90%!"

Hearing Duane's little joke, Anthony just stared blankly, his expression seeming to be a little amused.

“Let’s go, say goodbye to the fans, and we’re about to get in the car.

Don't make a fuss. Today, the fans should have come to pick us up spontaneously, there were just a few more people.

Don't forget, we just won the NBA championship.

The finals were played in the park again, and the situation this time was similar to winning the championship away from home.

The local fans in Chicago have waited for more than three months to see us again, so they are naturally impatient.

What's more, this championship is the team's 17th championship!
This year, we finally caught up with the Los Angeles Lakers and tied the league's top championship number.

There is no doubt that this championship is of great significance to us!
And for the fans, it is also a unique championship! ”

Duane patted Anthony on the shoulder and motioned for him to follow as they were about to take the bus back to the United Center.

As usual, there will be a series of activities to attend.

However, the situation this year is somewhat special, and I wonder if some processes will be shortened.

Of course, Duen doesn't pay much attention to these things now.

The main purpose is to send his wife and children back to the manor and settle them down properly.

Then I will end all team-related activities and have a good rest at home for a while.

Because of the epidemic, the Olympic Games have been postponed to next year.

In addition, returning to the country requires quarantine, which is relatively troublesome, and living in a hotel for more than half a month also seems a bit restrained.

So this year, if there is no need to go back to China for any business, I will try to stay here as much as possible.

Of course, considering that the new season will start in more than two months.

Although Duane doesn't have any ideas about the new season, the team has almost won enough championships and has tied the Lakers in the number of championships in team history. Anyway, they are already number one in the league's history, so he is not in a hurry.

Perhaps, Curry will have some ideas that in a few years he will be like Durant today, no longer dominant and no longer competing for the championship as the team leader.

Therefore, he should get the honor that belongs to him as soon as possible.

But Du En had already experienced this! As a god who had come down from the mountain, Du En no longer had such thoughts.

After working so hard for so many years, shouldn’t you enjoy yourself now?
Let the young people do the dirty and tiring work!
Anyway, we have the championship, the historical status, and the bronze statue outside the stadium, so what is there to worry about?

Take it one step at a time and take it slow!

In the next few years, it will depend on whether the Bulls management respects him enough and what kind of contract they can give him.

If the team wasn't decent enough, Duane would retire early.

Even if it is not purely one man, one city, he can still represent the city of Chicago by winning 11 championships with a single team and become a part of the city culture.

If the Bulls management is happy for Duane to sell tickets with a sky-high pension contract, then Duane is also willing to stay with the Bulls and play health-preserving basketball.

Accompany Curry on his way down and witness Jokic reach the top of the mountains.

As for what heights Jokic can reach in the future, Dunn has no idea.

Perhaps, because of Dunn's drag, it will be more difficult for Jokic to reach the top.

But if Jokic can still lead Dunn, who is in good health at the end of his career, to win the championship, it also means that the Jokic in this world is stronger than the Jokic that Dunn knew in his previous life.

Just like if Jokic wants to become stronger, he must go through the test of the blacksmith turtle at the end of his career...

"Let us welcome the King of Chicago, the founder of the first dynasty in NBA history - Duane!"

When the championship parade reached the player speech stage, Duane was the first to go on stage to give a speech as usual.

"I don't know how many times this has happened. Coming here is like going to a parent-teacher conference at school!

I was very nervous before coming here, but after arriving I felt very familiar. I thought there would be surprises, but in the end I got used to it.

Whenever a meeting comes, I don’t know what to do here!
Yes, my child is excellent! Okay, okay, I get it, please stop stressing about it.

Just like now, I know better than you how good Stephen, Nicola, Pascal, Detaizhang... are! "

“Yes, I am also excellent, you are right!

You can say more about this aspect, I can accept this.

Well, it seems you don't want to hear me continue.

Then let me invite my best child, Stephen Curry, to share our success with you!
The future of the NBA belongs to the young, and the future of the Chicago Bulls also belongs to the young."

Duane came on stage and chatted for a few minutes, then stepped down and gave his position to Curry.

Curry is not a particularly talkative person and quickly gave the podium to other teammates.

Basically, the speeches prepared by the Bulls' old championship team don't have much new ideas. At most, they just make fun of their teammates on the road to winning the championship this year.

However, winning requires grace, so everything is within the limit and it is not an exaggeration.

On the contrary, veterans like Anthony spoke more excitedly and sincerely, basically reviewing every detail of their career, hoping to gain the understanding and resonance of the fans at the scene.

But the fans mainly booed and cheered a few times, and there was no additional emotional value.

Just like that, the Bulls players bid farewell to last season completely, and the new season is about to begin.

Originally, the Bulls were preparing to start over with their rookie plans because the contracts of some fourth-year main players and important rotation players were expiring.

However, in recent years, because the goal is to win the championship again and top the league, there is no hoarding of draft picks.

Having just won the championship this year, it is not realistic to disband the team immediately.

In addition, the Bulls won too many championships and attracted too much hatred, so the Bulls management basically stopped moving during the offseason, did not recruit veterans, and did not make too many trades.

At most, we can pick up a few undrafted players to fill out the regular season roster.

Then, it is to renew Siakam's contract with a maximum salary. At worst, he can exchange it for a few first-round picks in the new season.

So paying some luxury tax is not a problem. (End of this chapter)
