On the 20th, the Raptors held a championship parade in Toronto.

Compared to last year, this year, under the instruction of Raptors owner Chad, the Raptors' championship parade has added more Chinese elements.

For example, on both sides of the Raptors' championship float, in addition to the official mascot of the Raptors, there are also two Chinese dragons made of flowers.

In addition, Chad also brought in the best pastry chefs from all over Canada.

At a makeshift "Chinese Snack Street", traditional Chinese noodles such as dumplings and steamed buns were provided free of charge to fans participating in the parade.

I have to say that picking the door is picking the door, but in terms of intentions, sure enough, all NBA teams except Mosaic can hang Mosaic in this regard.

According to Chad on the Championship Parade, the Raptors have officially submitted a special application to the league.

That is, the team hopes to be able to wear the Chinese version of the Raptors jersey next season.

In the past two years, since Su Feng came to Toronto, Chinese people in Canada have become the main support group of the Raptors.

In addition, after Stern completed the construction of the NBA-China bridge, there are already a number of sponsors from China who are contacting the Raptors.

Therefore, in Chad's view, the Raptors' move can not only win the goodwill of Chinese fans one step closer, but also respond to Stern's call.

If nothing else, Su Feng believes that Stern will soon pass Chad's politically conscious application.

It is worth mentioning that two days ago, Nike also officially announced the news of the next generation of Su Feng's "phenomenon" series of sneakers.

Judging from the design drawings released by Nike, the next-generation "Phenomenon" series will also consist of a large number of Chinese elements.

And in addition to the ordinary model, Nike is also preparing to launch a limited edition of 8888 pairs of blind boxes worldwide.

After seeing this news, Su Feng felt that it was necessary for him to have a talk with Nike.

Because even if you think about it with Kobe's feet, Su Feng can guess what kind of price the sneaker with the number 8888 will be hyped up in the future.

To be reasonable, basketball shoes are a daily necessities when you first enter the pit......

But once you've played it, you'll know it's a collectible.

In addition, by the way, there is also a Su Feng's star card produced by Panini and will be released in July this year.

Because of this star card, only 23 cards will be released worldwide......

Therefore, now on the Internet, there are already collectors who have paid a lot of money to book this Su Feng's star card.

In Su Feng's previous life, many star cards have been auctioned at sky-high prices in the future, and there are even many stars who play star cards who do not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy their own star cards.

And in this regard, would Su Feng proudly pat his chest and tell those collectors that under the bed at his house, he has a small iron box specially used to hold those star cards that will be scarce in the future?

On the day of the Championship Parade, tens of thousands of Canadian fans traveled from all over North America to Toronto.

At this time, the advantages of Toronto's vast and sparsely populated area also came into play.

Fans lined the streets in an orderly manner, with Ontario's top officials and Toronto's mayor all attending the Raptors' championship parade.

Under the security protection of the Canadian military, police, fire and other departments, the climax of the championship parade came when Su Feng delivered his acceptance speech.

At that time, in the city center, Su Feng was giving his speech like a king.

Below, his devout believers used wave after wave of cheers to express their love for Su Feng.

Anyway, it doesn't matter what Su Feng said......

Importantly, after successfully defending their title this year, Raptors fans have a feeling that the Raptors are going to be the next team to create a dynasty in the NBA.

Maddie said goodbye to Raptors fans at the Parade of Champions.

This is the advice that Su Feng gave him.

That is, after helping the Raptors win two championships, instead of being labeled as a "betrayer" in the future, why not leave generously?

In Su Feng's previous life, many stars were resented by the fans of the parent team after leaving the parent team they originally played.

The main reason for this is that the fans of these parent clubs feel cheated.

Therefore, after communicating with the Raptors uniform team, Maddie chose to officially say goodbye to the Raptors at the Championship Parade.

For one, it allows teams that are interested in them to discuss with their agents in advance.

Second, it also prevents some radical Raptors fans from seeing themselves as enemies in the future.

It's just that......

What made Maddie feel heartbroken was that although many people at the scene were keeping him when he said goodbye, when Su Feng took the microphone from him, the fans at the scene forgot about this "sad" thing in the next second.

"What? Tracy, are you leaving the Raptors? ”

What's more, Carter is actually the last player on the Raptors team to know that Maddy will leave next season.

On the float, putting his arm around Maddie's shoulders, Su Feng asked curiously, "Tracy, are you sure you didn't tell Vince about this before?" ”

Maddie spread her hands helplessly, "Actually, I've hinted at him no less than 100 times before. ”

After looking back at Carter's stupid expression, Su Feng nodded, "With your cousin's IQ, there is indeed a high probability that he will not understand the hints you gave him." ”

Maddie smiled awkwardly and didn't answer.

After the championship parade ended successfully, the official vacation of the Raptors players also began.

Because of the Olympic mission this summer, Su Feng will fly to Sydney to meet with the Chinese men's basketball team after the special training in Toronto until August.

And Wang Zhizhi, Patelle, and Hu Weidong will follow Su Feng for special training in Toronto.

As for Xiao Yao, next, he will go to the draft first, and then come to meet Su Feng and the others.

In this life, at the draft meeting, even if Xiaoyao is selected by the champion, it is difficult to hear boos.

Because Philadelphia announced their draft plan ahead of schedule, many Pennsylvania people now see Xiao Yao as the team's savior next season.

According to Su Feng and Davis's discussion, the Raptors will trade all their draft picks before the draft begins.

Since there were no good goods to buy at the 2000 draft, Su Feng did not plan to go to Taobao at the draft.

Originally, in the second round, the Raptors could find a way to trade draft picks up to find Michael Reed's ......

But because of this life, Su Feng has affected the relationship between the gears of history, so this plan has been abandoned by Su Feng.

In Su Feng's previous life, in the 2000 draft, Michael Reed was originally selected by the Bucks with the 14th pick in the second round.

Before Jordan Jr. entered the league, Reed should have been one of the rookies who had been sitting in the draft for the longest time.

Because before the start of the draft, Reed's draft market was at its best, and he even entered the lottery.

However, due to his poor tryout performance, Reed almost killed himself at the draft when the draft began.

And the reason for his poor performance in the trial is related to the common hatred of three-point shooting in this era.

Coupled with Reed's sloppy touch during the tryout, many teams have labeled him a poor shot pick.

It's a pity that in this life, because someone led the team to prove the value of the three-point shot in the Finals for two consecutive years, the reasons that would have made Reed's pearl dusty have now become Reed's advantage.

Not long after participating in the Jazz tryout, Jazz veteran coach Sloan fell in love with the outside star with a pair of big elbows.

And in this way, the Raptors didn't work Reed.

After all, Reed is not the best choice for the Raptors after Maddy leaves.

"When I was competing in the McDonald's High School Star Game, I had a teammate who made a big impression on me."

After the championship parade, Su Feng said to Davis.

Hearing this, Davis pondered for a while and said, "What's that person's name?" ”

"Stephen Jackson."

……

Dominican Republic, North America.

For the arrogant Stephen Jackson, for the past three years, only he knows how he came to be.

As an outcast of the NBA, this young man who was as famous as Su Feng, Kobe and others in high school, after being abandoned by the NBA, in order to make a living, once went to play in the Australian league to play.

However, after a fight with the local natives, he was soon driven to Venezuela.

And in Venezuela, because of Jackson's fierce character, he even formed a life-and-death friendship with the local gang boss for a time.

It's a pity that because of his pretentious character, after having a conflict with his teammates, Jackson was exiled again.

And in Dominica......

After seeing the news that Kobe Bryant and Su Feng have both established great careers in the NBA, Jackson's former edges and corners have long been smoothed out by the hard days of the past three years.

There has never been such a day, and there has never been such a moment......

Jackson is so eager to return to the NBA, to the United States.

He swore to God that as long as a team was willing to give him a chance, he would be willing to make him a cow and a horse.

As the saying goes, if you haven't been beaten by society, you don't know how powerful society is.

On his 22nd birthday in April of this year, Jackson made his most sincere vows to God.

Oh God, please give me another chance!

Just once!

I want to play well, I want to play in the NBA!

It's a pity that even though Jackson wanted to repent from the bottom of his heart, when his agent sent his resume back to the NBA, what he got was:

We don't need a player who can only fight and make trouble, such a reply.

So, gradually......

Jackson felt like his heart was dying.

Perhaps, he will never be able to return to the NBA in his life.

Perhaps, it is the fate of his life to dominate the leagues of various small countries.

It's just that......

On this day, just as Jackson was drinking to drown his sorrows, he received a shocking news from his agent.

"Stephen, the Raptors are willing to offer you a summer league contract.

They say that as long as you can prove that you are fit to play in the NBA, they will offer you a guaranteed base salary contract. ”

Ha?

Toronto Raptors!?

My ears aren't broken, are they?

Jackson was shocked.

He subconsciously threw away the bottle in his hand.

Then after tidying up his hairstyle, he asked in an almost trembling tone, "Man, I heard you right, is it really the Toronto Raptors?" ”

On the phone, his agent was stunned and replied: "Yes, Stephen, it's the Toronto Raptors who just defended their championship." ”

Smack——!

"Stephen, are you fighting again?" On the phone, Jackson's agent asked after hearing a sudden loud bang.

After a pause, Jackson replied, "No...... I'm not fighting with people, I'm just careless...... I accidentally touched the bottle containing the health supplement. ”

"Well, Stephen, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and I don't want you to miss it because of that." On the phone, Jackson's agent said.

Hearing this, Jackson patted his chest and said, "How is it possible? Man, it's not like you don't know, I've been fighting with people for a long time, I've always been a good boy. ”

Cough......

Shrewd......

Good boy?

On the phone, Jackson's agent almost choked Jackson to death.

Because the agent remembers that he had just released Jackson on bail from the local bureau a few weeks ago.

That's it......

As Jackson's agent, even if he knows that Jackson has all kinds of bad deeds, he still has a trace of expectations for Jackson.

After all, if he can't get back the money he paid for Jackson, then he really wants to die.

And in Toronto, just after Raptors general manager Glenn Gruward contacted Jackson's agent, the general manager, who has always been good at budgeting, looked at Davis with a hesitant face and said, "That John...... Actually, we are not very short of money. ”

Because Stephen Jackson's name is too domineering, in Gruward's opinion, if he can, he would rather add some money than sign Jackson to this Raptors team.

Looking at Gruward, Davis said, "I've heard about Stephen's bad deeds off the field, but Glenn, Sue told me that Stephen won't make trouble in Toronto." ”

"Su ...... All right.

Since Su Du said so, then we can only believe him, anyway, if you use the basic salary, it's a big deal to cut it. After hearing Davis say Su Feng's name, Gruward no longer hesitated.

It's just that......

Gruward always felt that Su Feng was too confident in himself.

Because......

That's Stephen Jackson!

A villain who can make many players in the NBA shudder even if he doesn't play in the NBA.

However, in the House of Steel, just after O'Neal Jr. learned that Su Feng planned to invite Jackson to join the Raptors, O'Neal Jr. said excitedly: "Will Stephen be willing to join us?" ”

Su Feng patted little O'Neal on the shoulder, "If he doesn't join us again, then I guess he won't even have the money to buy a hamburger next month." ”

Unlike the team management who shy away from Stephen Jackson, Su Feng and O'Neal Jr. are well aware that Jackson is a player who takes righteousness seriously.

In fact, as early as the beginning of joining the Raptors, Jackson's name was added to the Black Pearl by Su Feng.

After all, the Black Pearl, without Captain Jack, can it still be called the Black Pearl?

It's just that because he knew that Jackson needed the relationship to be precipitated by the beating in his early years, Su Feng never told the second person about this plan.

And now, after Maddie left the team, Su Feng, who was seriously insecure, had to ask for a new bodyguard to increase his sense of security.

Scold......

Ron Artest?

As soon as he remembered that in the East Duel, that bastard who always added punches and kicks to himself, Su Feng was angry.

Wait......

Next season, I want to see who dares to mess with me!
