Double-decker buses, empty alleys, talking to the mayor, being adored by 10,000 people in Dallas......

Just three days after the Mavericks won the championship, Cuban spent millions of dollars on a championship parade in the city of Dallas.

The parade was twice as large as it was in 2011, with seven double-decker buses alone. The parade almost circled the main city of Dallas, and the whole march lasted a full six hours before it finally ended.

This is not the first time that Yiyang has experienced this first-hand, he and the team were escorted to their destination all the way three years ago in the rookie season. It's just that this year's scene is even grander.

Fans wearing blue Mavericks jerseys or championship commemorative T-shirts crowded the streets, waving their arms and cheering on the players on the bus.

In the crowded streets, the buses travel very slowly. Blue stretches from one side of the street to the other, all over the city!

Of course, Yiyang did not live up to the expectations of the fans, and he enthusiastically stood on the top floor of the bus and interacted with everyone throughout the procession.

The carnival finally ended with the speeches of the Mavericks players, and the last words of Yiyang in his speech made the fans seem even more crazy than before!

"Some people say that winning the championship means the end and success. Succeed? Come to an end? No, I'm just on my way! ”

This sentence filled everyone with infinite reverie about the future of the Mavericks. Fans are even looking forward to the emergence of a Maverick dynasty.

After a day of revelry, the names of Dallas Mavericks and Yiyang swept the world. Their influence has gone far beyond Dallas and basketball.

The day after the parade, the latest issue of Time magazine was released, and Yiyang became the fifth Chinese professional athlete to be lucky enough to be on the cover of Time magazine.

"The ruler of basketball in the future?" In addition to Yiyang's photo, the cover of the magazine also included a questionable title.

After four years in the league, he has won numerous honors, and what Yiyang has done now is unprecedented. What can such a young player who can already dominate the league achieve in the future? Nobody knows. And the argument of the cover article of this issue of "Time Magazine" is to discuss with you the possibility of Yiyang becoming the next god of basketball.

The NBA season has ended, but people's attention to Yiyang has not diminished in the slightest.

The Mavericks players didn't leave Dallas immediately after the season. Because a few days later, on June 19, Dirk was going to have a big birthday party at his home in Dallas.

Everyone from the Mavericks will be in attendance, as will old Dirk friends like Jett and Kidd.

On the afternoon of June 19, when Yiyang brought Vignari to Dirk's house, Dirk was holding a cigar in his hand and waved at Yiyang and Vignary.

Yiyang's attention was completely drawn to the cigar, because the cigar looked ...... It looks familiar.

"Also, why did you come so late! Hey beautiful lady, you're simply the center of attention tonight! Dirk very gentlemanly bent down and kissed Vignari on the back. Of course, the German's right hand still gracefully lifts the cigar.

"Dirk, this cigar, is it ......?"

"Don't you remember? In 2011, when we won the championship for the first time, you gave it to me at a birthday party. I said at the time that such a good cigar should be saved for the next championship! A good cigar needs to be aged for at least three years before it can be called a mature cigar. Unexpectedly, just three years later, we lifted the championship trophy again! Dirk took a triumphant puff of his cigar like a gangster.

"Okay, what we gave you this time, to be exact, something for your daughter, can't last for three years." Yiyang said, winking at Vignarie.

Vignari delivered a beautifully wrapped gift box to Dirk. "Happy birthday, Dirk."

"What is this? For my daughter? Dirk was overjoyed, although it was his birthday, this gift to his daughter made Dirk the most excited.

When Dirk opened the present, he found two dresses. A pink princess dress is quite cute, naturally for his daughter Malaka. The other skirt was the size of a dress that didn't look like it could fit his wife or daughter.

Seeing Dirk's confused expression, Yiyang smirked smugly. "This dress is for you, father and daughter's parent-child outfit, do you like it?"

Vignari was almost laughing, she couldn't imagine a tall Dirk in a dress.

"When you're all gone today......" Dirk looked around, deliberately muffling his voice mysteriously. I'll be happy with my daughter in these two dresses! ”

"Hey, Yi, when did you guys get here?" At this moment, Dirk's wife, Jessica, walked out of the house into the yard, holding Malaka, who was not yet a year old, in her arms. The little girl, like Dirk, has beautiful blonde hair. At this time, she was wearing the Mavericks' No. 41 jersey, which of course, was a mini version. This cute little jersey and beautiful little doll made Vignari instantly burst into a girlish heart.

"My little princess, you're growing so fast!" Vignari walked straight towards the mother and daughter, who were always unresistant to cute things.

After Vignari left, only Yiyang and Dirk were still standing together in the lively courtyard.

"Happy, Dirk. He has a wife and children, and a championship and a cigar. Yiyang smiled, although Dirk was past the prime of his career, his life did not become unhappy because of his increased age. On the contrary, it is getting happier and happier.

In addition to professional life, life off the field is also a part of life, and even a bigger part.

"Basketball isn't all you have in life, kid. You can be happy as long as you want to. Watching the Italian girl happily tease her little daughter, Dirk took a thoughtful puff on his cigar.

"When are you going to marry her?"

"It's coming, Dirk, it's coming." This time, Yiyang did not shy away from this topic. It's been more than six months since Vignarie's father first came up with the idea last Christmas. Six months also made Yiyang think about everything clearly.

Although he still has a long career, he is currently a success. It's time to complete your off-field life.

In the month that Vignari has been living at Yiyang's house, the empty villa has become extremely lively. And this Italian girl and Wen Xue are also quite compatible, which strengthens Yiyang's idea.

"Soon? How long is it fast? Dirk asked again.

"This summer." Yiyang looked at Vignarie's back and couldn't help but smile.

"It's not a long summer, aren't you planning your wedding yet? If you need help, I have friends in this area. ”

"No, Dirk, it's not a wedding thing now. It's just that I haven't proposed to her yet. Yiyang scratched his head, a guy like him who can only fight except for basketball, where does he know how to operate such a "complicated" thing as a marriage proposal.

Sure enough, if God closes one window for you, he will open another. God makes you have low EQ, but you have amazing ball IQ, hahahahaha. ”

Looking at Dirk's smug smile, Yiyang glanced at Nowitzki. "I'm an atheist, Dirk, and God can't control me."

"Isn't it easy to propose? All you need is a beautiful ring, a romantic dinner party and a woman who is already in love with you. ”

"But the ring ......"

"André has some jewelry business in Dallas, and I think he will be able to recommend you a few unique diamond rings that women can't refuse!" Nowitzki was the first thing that came to mind about Iguodala, who was probably the most business-savvy of all the Mavericks' players. As soon as he arrived at Dallas last summer, Iguodala made a lot of investments locally. This also includes the jewellery industry.

"No, I can't get the ring Andre wants, only Mark can help me. In the past few days, he has been communicating with the manufacturer about this. ”

"Mark?" Nowitsky was stunned, although Kuban was a businessman, he didn't know anything about jewelry.

"That's right, Mark."

"What kind of ring do you want?" At this moment, Nowitzki's appetite was also suspended.

"Championship ring."

"Ahem, cough, cough, ......" After listening to Yiyang, Dirk, who was smoking a cigar, was choked.

"You're a fucking talent, too! I'm absolutely behind you! Nowitzki touched Yiyang's head, this guy's head is always different from what others think. I can be your 'tactical advisor' if you need to. After all, I'm from here. ”

At the door of the mansion, Kidd and Terry also arrive, and Dirk has to temporarily leave Yiyang to meet the other guests.

Yiyang sighed, Dirk was right, he was really an idiot with low emotional intelligence. Even if he had a ring, what would he do?

A ring, a dinner party and a woman, these three things, Yiyang is not good at any of them......
