Chapter 338: The Whole City Carnival

On the night he went shopping with Wen Xue, Yiyang went to bed early to recharge his batteries for tomorrow's championship parade. After all, he and Vignari had barely slept the night before, and now Yiyang was already exhausted.

The fatigue of the finals and the fatigue of turning over the river and the sea in the hotel piled up, so that Yiyang fell asleep directly as soon as he got out of bed.

When Yiyang opened his eyes again, the time had come to half past six the next morning. Yiyang hurriedly got up to wash and change clothes, and was just about to rush out to the American Airline Center Arena. Only then did I realize that I didn't have to go to the training gym to train today.

Yiyang shook his head with a smile and gently closed the door of the house. Although his first season in the NBA is over, his mind is still tight. The one-year experience of a professional player has made Yiyang's living habits change dramatically.

Seeing that it was still early, Yiyang helped Wen Xue warm up milk and toast. In the past, she helped Yiyang prepare breakfast, but today, let's change Yiyang and help her mother prepare it once.

At 8 o'clock in breakfast, Yiyang set off from home on time. But when Yiyang stepped out of the community, he found that the whole city of Dallas was completely different today.

Many of the main roads were cordoned off by yellow cordons, and inside the cordoned streets, crowds swelled and countless fans gathered on both sides of the road to prepare for the Mavericks' floats.

What about the rest of the world? Ten thousand empty alleys! Those who don't know may think that they have entered a dead city!

"That's an exaggeration!" Yiyang looked around in shock as he drove to the Dallas Convention Center. Due to the blockade of many main roads, Yiyang had to take a long detour to reach his destination.

When he got out of the car and hurried to the procession, he realized that everyone had already arrived.

"Oh my God!" When Yiyang saw the formation of the procession, he was really taken aback. Although he already knew that today's parade would be very grand, Yiyang still did not expect that the scale would be so large.

The procession consisted of 3 floats, 10 convertibles and 12 trucks. The team lined up in a long line, and everyone was gathered around, and it seemed that Cuban had done his best to celebrate the Mavericks winning the first championship Gold Cup!

"Hey, Yi, why are you here!?" Just when Yiyang was at a loss, a familiar shout jumped into Yiyang's ears. Yiyang turned his head to see that Terry was waving at him in the distance.

Yiyang trotted closer to Terry, the guy had already changed into a championship commemorative T-shirt and baseball cap, and all kinds of staff members large and small were already in place around him. Yiyang looked at his watch, 8:45, he wasn't late?

"Why is everyone already here?"

"At seven or eight o'clock in the morning, the crowd of people participating in the parade was already there! At the terminal station, the American Route Center Arena, fans were already gathered there even at four o'clock in the morning. Everyone can't sleep when they're excited, and you're the last to arrive! Terry said as he led Yiyang towards the truck they were going to be in later.

The flatbed trucks, which were originally used to haul goods, have been decorated magnificently at this time. Not only did they put a huge blue carpet on the trailer, but they also made a lot of decorations on it. Later, the Mavericks players will be standing on it and interacting with the fans around them.

"You're finally here! Haha, it's a big scene today, enjoy! That's right, it's your t-shirt and baseball cap, wide to wear on! Let it go later, the fans are full of enthusiasm, don't let them down! Walking to the truck belonging to the players, Cuban immediately greeted him and handed over the T-shirt and cap to Yiyang.

Yiyang looked around, and it seemed that in addition to the players, there were many guys in suits and leather shoes that he didn't know.

"Who are the people who are coming to the parade?" Yiyang put the T-shirt on his body and turned his head to ask Terry in a whisper.

"Are you serious? Today's parade is full of Dallas celebrities! Terry stared at Yiyang with a monster's eyes, and asking who these people were in Dallas was as ridiculous as asking who the tall German was at the Center of American Airlines.

"Well, do you see that middle-aged man in a gray suit? It was the deputy mayor of Dallas, and his presence here is a testament to the government's support for this event! And the old guy with the full head of white hair, Donald. Carter, the founder of the Mavericks! The lady standing next to him was his wife, Linda. It is said that Carter founded the Mavericks as a gift to his wife! Also, the fat man in the white suit in the distance......"

Under Terry's introduction, Yiyang realized that there were so many people with heads and faces to participate in this event today. It seems that this championship parade may be even more grand and grand than what I have seen on TV in the past!

"That's it! Let's get on board! At ten o'clock, we set off on time at ten o'clock! Get ready guys, this city, can't wait! ”

The first convertible at the head of the line was Carter, the founder of the Mavericks, and his wife. The second convertible followed by the deputy mayor's family.

It is worth mentioning that the deputy mayor also specially found Yiyang to greet him before going on the field. There is no doubt that the deputy mayor wants to use Yiyang to enhance Dallas's status in China. If Dallas can attract a large number of Chinese tourists every year, it will undoubtedly be of great benefit to the city's tourism industry.

After that, celebrities from all walks of life and the Mavericks uniform team got on the bus one by one. As players, Yiyang's truck was the last to be lined up and played in the finale. Today, they are the focus of Dallas, and they are the crowd that the fans are most concerned about!

The parade route starts at the Dallas Convention Center and ends at the U.S. Center Arena, the home stadium. This road is actually not long, but I believe that under the support of the fans, this short distance is enough for Yiyang and them to walk for a while.

Helicopters hovering in the air, and such a grand event is naturally indispensable for aerial photography and tracking reports. According to the weather forecast, the temperature in Dallas will soar by 38 degrees today, but this still cannot dampen the enthusiasm of the players.

After all, on this day, what could be more warm than the enthusiasm of the fans? The 38° sun makes people suffer from heat stroke at most, and the enthusiasm of the fans is enough to melt the entire city of Dallas!

At ten o'clock in the morning, the parade set off on time! As the motorcade drove toward its destination, the fans roared out of the Dallas Convention Center parking lot!

Yiyang stood on the truck, and at a glance, except for the road that was driven out by the police, the surrounding areas were full of people!

Dallas probably has more than 70 percent of the police force concentrated here, and they are maintaining order on both sides of the reception, for fear that these crazy fans will do something out of the ordinary.

At the front and back of the procession, police cars also opened the way to ensure the smooth progress of the parade to the greatest extent.

When the truck they were riding in passed the fans, everyone burst into loud cheers. They all raised their mobile phones or arms one by one, and this kind of opportunity to get close to the star is rare!

The parade caused frantic screams everywhere it passed, and Nowitzki was chanting "MVP" in unison everywhere he went.

Yiyang's popularity as a rookie is not low, and he has seen fans hold up their nameplates more than once. And Yiyang, along with other people Yiyang, enjoyed the joy and worship, and paid tribute to the lovely fans.

Of course, among these honor cards, Yiyang also saw the most special one. It was a piece of cardboard made in the shape of a Chinese flag, and a few big words were written on the red cardboard: "Join the national team and take us to the top of Asia, please!" ”

This paragraph is written in Chinese. Suddenly seeing Chinese in this environment full of foreigners made Yiyang feel very friendly. National team, national team...... Even if you participate in the parade, don't you let yourself go in this matter?

Yiyang shook his head and detached himself from his thoughts. Now is not the time to think about the national team, now his only mission goal is to party with everyone!

After an hour and a half of frantic parade, the team finally arrived at their destination, the American Route Center Arena, the place where the Mavericks accomplished miracles one after another.

According to statistics, 250,000 Dallas citizens participated in the march during the march that was just an hour and a half! Although 145 fans suffered from heat stroke to varying degrees, it was the Mavericks' revelry, and the city's revelry.

Upon arrival, the players waved to the fans one by one before stepping into the arena. In the stadium, there were already many people waiting early.

When Nowitzki and Yiyang got off the bus, Nowitzki stuffed the O'Brien Cup to Yiyang first, and he raised his arms and organized the crazy fans to sing the classic song "We Are the Champions" like a music master. Of course, maybe it's because they're too excited, so everyone sings to the key.

After directing the fans to sing, Nowitzki put his arm around Yiyang's shoulders and walked towards the stadium gate.

"How about it, do you enjoy this feeling!? At this moment, it is as if the whole world is yours! Nowitzki said, kissing the O'Brien Cup in Yiyang's hand.

"Not as if, Dirk. We are the world champions. Yiyang smiled and handed the O'Brien Cup back to Dirk. Later, it will be up to him, the star of the house, to lift the trophy and lead everyone into the stadium.

In the stadium, a temporary podium has already been set up. More than 10,000 season ticket holders were given preferential treatment and were able to attend the Mavericks' final speech of the season.

Marion was the first to rush to the podium, he did not rush to speak, but showed a street dance to the fans on the spot.

After that, all the Mavericks players spoke one by one. Yiyang, a guy who doesn't talk much, naturally didn't say anything long, he just thanked Cuban and his teammates for allowing him to quickly integrate into the life of the NBA and win the championship trophy so quickly.

Although the speech was brief, to his surprise, Yiyang received a high cheer. The fans love him, and the contribution of this taciturn Chinese to Mavericks is in everyone's eyes.

At the climax of the speech, of course, it was still led by Nowitzki and Cuban.

When Nowitzki spoke, Cuban took the lead and the audience shouted MVP, including Yiyang. Nowitzki pursed his lips and lowered his head in silence for a moment, trying to control his emotions. You don't want to shed tears in front of everyone, this German tough guy.

Then, it was Cuban who took the lead, shouting "Happy Birthday", and the whole audience sang the happy birthday song, this Sunday is Nowitzki's 33rd birthday. Cuban did this, which can be regarded as bringing these more than 200,000 fans to Nowitzki's birthday in advance. At the age of 33, he finally fulfilled his dream in Dallas. This German, who was speechless at this time, deserves everyone's respect!

Cuban was the last to take the stage, and the fans collectively chanted "Thank you Mark". Kuban moved his lips, but did not make a sound, and then kept wiping away tears. Nowitzki just tensed, but Kuban didn't.

Looking at the weeping Kuban, the excited Terry, the calm but joyful Kidd on the surface but in the heart, and the mixed Novitzki, Yiyang also had a lot of thoughts in his heart.

This group of people has worked hard for so many years to put together such an O'Brien Cup. Will you pay such a big price for the championship in the future?

Yiyang raised his head and looked at the crazy fans around him. It's a good feeling to win the championship, and I really hope that this kind of scene will happen in Dallas more often!

Now, it is you who carry me to the throne of honor. Then let me carry the team in the future and continue to attack towards more goals and honors!

Yiyang clenched his fists, Dallas Maverick, I love you!
