Link apprehensively took out the key to the house, and before opening the door, he looked inside the door like a thief.

If it weren't for the fact that the neighbors and community security personnel knew Link well, he would have been arrested as a thief.

In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstanding, Link still picked up the key and opened the door.

"Damn, it's me! Even if there is a woman living in the family, it is also my girlfriend, afraid of hair! ”

When Link stepped through the door, the first thing he noticed was that the house had become much more tidy.

Although there are not many things in Link's house, a big man lives here by himself, and he usually doesn't have so much time to take care of the house, so it's still a little messy. In addition, Link slept on the sofa last night, which made a mess of the living room.

But now, everything is where it should be. The sofa was also tidied up, and there was no sign of anyone sleeping last night.

Other than that, there's nothing unusual about the family. What about Rachel? Is she gone? When Link went out, Rachel hadn't woken up yet. Isn't it still sleeping?

Just as Link was wondering, the bathroom door suddenly opened.

Rachel walked out of the bathroom and waved at Link, "You're back!" I just cleaned up the house and took a shower, did today's summary meeting go well? Link? Link? ”

Rachel noticed Link's eyes staring at her, and waved at Link.

As soon as I got home, I saw a woman wrapped in a bath towel all over her body, could Link not be stunned!? It's just terrifying.

"Uh...... There is nothing going well, that is, Sean and Brad have both announced their departures. ”

Link hurriedly took his eyes off Rachel, it was a little too angry.

"Leaving the team? But you just won the championship. ”

"There are all sorts of reasons, and that's professional basketball. By the way, are you feeling better? You were very drunk yesterday. ”

"It's so much better, I was so happy yesterday, I didn't control it, hehe. By the way, Link, do you have any plans for this summer? Rachel put her arm around Link from behind and leaned into Link's ear.

"Speaking of which, I haven't had time to make holiday plans this year. After all, it's the latest year I've had to end my season. ”

In the past two seasons, Link has been at the end of May, and at most at the beginning of June, he will finish a season.

In the window period that followed, Link would take time out of his manager, Jeff. Austin discusses vacation plans.

But this year, Link's season didn't end until yesterday, so naturally there was no time to plan ahead.

"But if nothing else, it should be similar to previous years. Tourism, business activities, training, game ...... How? Do you have a plan? Link turned his head to look at Ruiqi, who had been smiling since the beginning.

"I don't have any plans, but I want to..... I'll stay here for a while. This time, there is no need to use the excuse of doing an exclusive interview. Can I stay for free? Sir, I am very capable. I can help you make breakfast and tidy up the house. Rachel and Link made a joke.

"Uh...... Of course, I won't take any more money from you. You can stay as long as you want, and I'll be empty anyway. ”

Link didn't refuse, so why not? It seems that this summer, it's time to plan well.

※※※

On June 24, the Grizzlies scored 18 points to win the championship against the Heat.

In front of the Blues Art Museum, a long line of motorcades is standing by.

The composition of the convoy was unusual at first glance, with four mounted police officers and two police cars in the lead. After that, several double-decker buses followed! Behind the double-decker bus were police cars, followed by several fire trucks.

All in all, this team of 36 large and small vehicles is the vast team of the Grizzlies who are about to participate in the championship parade!

And today, it's the day the championship parade begins!

Before Link could figure out how to spend the holiday with Rachel, the championship parade ensued. After winning the championship, it was undoubtedly a long-awaited rally for all fans and players.

In addition to the motorcade, the march included 586 police officers, 183 firefighters, and 107 municipal workers.

Add in all sorts of expenses, and the Grizzlies' total budget for this parade is as high as $3 million!

Of course, Robert. Pera didn't pay for all of the 3 million. Of that amount, $1 million is borne by the local government of Memphis.

After all, this is not only the glory of the Grizzlies, but also the glory of Memphis. The increase in the commercial value of the Grizzlies has also led to the growth of the entire Memphis City economy.

Not to mention anything else, the parking lot near the parade route has risen in price to an exaggerated $30 an hour today!

More than 200 yuan to park for an hour, this is no different from robbery. However, even so, all parking lots are full!

"If you look at the formation, they also said that there weren't going to be many people in Memphis coming to the march. Hahahaha, scare them to death! ”

Randolph stood on the double-decker bus and smirked, and before the convoy had even left, he could already see the crowd in front of him.

Link also smiled, he didn't expect this parade to be so lively. Two days ago, the media sneered that the march in Memphis might be cold.

Because Memphis itself has a small population, and the people here are so busy making ends meet, they don't have time to join in the fun.

The result? According to statistics, as many as 1.1 million fans came to the rally today, and slapped those yin and yang weird media!

What is the concept of 1.1 million people gathered in Memphis? You must know that the total population of Memphis City is only about 680,000.

The entire Greater Memphis area has a total population of 1.8 million people, and today, in addition to Memphis citizens, fans from other Tennessee cities such as Nashville, Chattanooga and Knoxville are taking part in the parade. Many fans from far-flung regions flew to Memphis to participate in the parade.

In this way, today Memphis City is equivalent to a sudden double of the population! Ice? Inexistent!

In order to avoid overcrowding, Pera also chose Monday for the parade. However, the march still easily gathered millions of people. If the parade is held on weekends, I am afraid that the number of participants will be larger.

The parade for the day starts at 11 a.m., but if you want to sit in the office until 11 a.m. and then drop out to watch the parade, you'd be wrong. By 11 o'clock, traffic in downtown Memphis was paralyzed, and only traffic could be seen passing by the viaduct except for the parade vehicles.

As early as 16 hours ago, the places on the parade route were already occupied! Some people are even willing to spend $50 just to squeeze into the crowd and take a look at their heroes.

Memphis have never been so proud, and in every way, they are too nonexistent. Outside you say you're from Memphis, you're from Tennessee, and people will look at you with hillbilly eyes.

As a result, the Grizzlies' championship went beyond the boundaries of basketball early. It's a great time for all Memphis people to raise their eyebrows, and it's not just basketball.

The car starts, and Link slowly drives into the crowd with the O'Brien Cup in his arms.

After that, all that's left is to enjoy yourself.

Link and O'Brien Cup are on a bus at the front, and the buses are all changed to dark blue with a villain temperament. On the body, the word "champion" is printed in large letters.

No sooner had the vehicle pulled into the crowd than Link provoked a frantic cheer from the crowd.

The older generation of Memphis people can't help but sigh that this is comparable to the sensation that Elvis could cause back then.

Everyone waved and shouted at the fans, but it was Link who was the most popular. This double team + FMVP winner is definitely the greatest sports star in Memphis history. For now, you don't even need to add "one" to the end.

Gradually, wherever Link passed, there would be a neat shout, "Hail to the King!" ”

Truth be told, this isn't the first time Link has been shouted in unison by the fans in the stadium. But the shouts of less than 20,000 people in the stadium and the shouts of millions of people at the parade are not the same concept at all.

And, being called "King" in front of so many people, Link must admit that he himself was blown away.

It's as if he didn't win the championship, but conquered the whole world!

Link couldn't help but close his eyes, it was like a dream.

But when he reopened his eyes and saw a deep blue—not just the street, forward, backward, where Link could not see the end, there was a deep blue everywhere.

Link told himself that this was a reality more beautiful than a dream!

I really hope that this reality, which is not better than a dream, will not be interrupted.

"It's crazy, Link, I've never seen anything like this in my life!" Randolph was already incoherent, just waving at the fans.

Link looked at the dark blue of the city, looked at the O'Brien Cup in his arms, and said softly, "Don't worry, Zach. This kind of scene will be frequent in the future, and you can watch it as many times as you want. ”

The king of Memphis had made up his mind to hold on to his subjects and his land.
