Chapter 662: A Request
When he woke up the next day, Yiyang found a mess in his hotel room. Gobert's top body was sleeping directly on the floor, while his legs were resting on the bed. What about Yiyang himself? They sleep sideways.
Yiyang only remembers that after the award ceremony yesterday, they were wildly swaying champagne in the dressing room, just like three years ago.
After the locker room went crazy, Carlisle and Armstrong and other members of the coaching staff left first. The players went to the nightclub to continue the party, and the frenetic atmosphere in the nightclub will make people can't help but fall into madness, coupled with the joy after winning the championship, everyone will have a complete fun.
All the pressures and burdens of a season can now be let go, and then indulged unscrupulously.
So, everyone only left the last bit of sobriety to return to the hotel. After that, it's what Yiyang sees now.
After adjusting his sleeping position, Yiyang turned on his mobile phone. Almost all the news pushed is related to oneself.
"Two championships in four years, and the Dallas Mavericks are dominating the league!"
"Winning the MVP three times in a single season, Yiyang is already the greatest star in the league?"
"The LeBron era is over, and the league is blowing a storm in China!"
Yiyang took a cursory look, and it was rare to wake up one morning without finding the news of scolding himself.
Overall Winner, FMVP...... Now thinking of everything that happened yesterday, Yiyang still feels a little incredible. After two seasons of setbacks, he suddenly reached the top. The huge sense of happiness made Yiyang doubt the authenticity of everything.
But fortunately, this news told Yiyang that everything that happened yesterday was not a dream, but a fact!
Yiyang clenched his fists and the feeling of being on top of the world was so refreshing! The number one defender won the title yesterday and is already thinking about the next O'Brien Cup.
Then, Yiyang looked at the unread text messages again. Many people have sent their best wishes, including Kobe, Nash, Stevens, and so on. Of course, the arrival of the Adidas bonus is also indispensable.
Yiyang won the championship + FMVP, which has triggered the reward clause in the sneaker contract. Overnight, Yiyang had millions of dollars more on his account. This kind of thing was put four years ago, and Yiyang couldn't have imagined.
After lying down for a while, Yiyang laboriously got Goebel to the bed, then went to the bathroom to wash himself, and then went downstairs to have breakfast.
When Yiyang yawned and walked to the hotel restaurant, Carlisle was already reading the newspaper and drinking coffee.
"Morning, chief." Yiyang shouted at the door of the restaurant, which was considered to have been said hello.
"Why do you wake up so early? We don't have to train today. Carlisle smiled at Yiyang.
"I was so excited that I couldn't sleep. By the way, the O'Brien Cup and FMVP Trophy are still in your room! ”
"Of course, don't worry, I won't let anyone take them."
Yiyang let out a big sigh of relief, he took a few pieces of bread for himself, and sat down next to Carlisle. "I don't know what it's going to be like when we get back to Dallas."
"You don't have to wait too long, we'll be home in the afternoon." Carlisle put down the newspaper in his hand, judging from the news in the newspaper, yesterday's Dallas was sleepless all night......
※※※
The players were all tired after a night of partying and had been asleep since they got on the plane. Among them, only a few people are still awake at this time, and Yiyang is one of them.
There was a jolt in the fuselage, and the voice of a flight attendant appeared on the radio: "Passengers. Our planes are descending. Now there are bumps in the fuselage. Please return to your seat and fasten your seatbelt. ”
This sweet shout made the players wake up one after another. They looked blankly out the window, only to find themselves in the sky over Dallas.
"Did you hear that, guys!? Get up and look at what you guys look like now, is this what a World Champion should look like!? After landing later, there are many reporters and fans waiting for their heroes!? Cuban's voice echoed in the cabin, and some of the players began to wipe their faces, others began to fix their hair.
And Yiyang, he just looked at the two trophies in his arms and kept giggling.
Dallas, we're back with honor!
With a shudder in the fuselage, the players landed. The World Champions are all "dressed" up. Now, everyone seemed to be in good spirits, just like the drunks from last night.
The plane began to glide down the runway, and through the small window of the plane, the players could already see the police officers waiting on the tarmac and the blackened crowd of reporters and fans.
The Mavericks won the championship, which is a big deal for the whole of Dallas and even the whole of Texas. So, Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport also made a special case for people to get on the tarmac and wait for the Mavericks to arrive. They want the world champions to get off the plane and experience the enthusiasm of their home fans!
After the plane came to a halt on the tarmac, reporters and welcoming fans swarmed up, and the police officers in charge of maintaining order struggled to keep the men behind the security line, and there was some chaos and commotion at the scene. Kuban looked out the window, stood up and walked to the front of the cabin.
"Are you ready for the cheers of the fans!?"
"Ready!"
"Great, now, let's get ready to make a splash near the hatch! Also, you are the last to play with the O'Brien Cup and the FMVP Trophy. The most crucial characters always have to appear in the finale, don't they? Kuban winked at Yiyang, and then asked the flight attendant to open the plane door!
A bright light shone into the cabin, Kuban raised his arms and was the first to walk out!
The fans below cheered in unison and the flashing lights were blazing. Helicopters hovered in the air to record the spectacle for fans watching live TV at home.
Subsequently, one by one the players appeared in front of everyone in high spirits wearing championship commemorative T-shirts, completely without the confusion they had just woken up. Everyone walked down and received fierce cheers. Yiyang, who stayed in the cabin, looked at everything outside and was already ready to move.
By the time Nowitzki hunched over the low plane door and waved to the fans, a crowd of Mavericks players had gathered beneath the plane. But among them, there is still no O'Brien Cup, FMVP Trophy and Yiyang.
In an instant, the cheers were more than doubled. Everyone knows that the finale is coming!
In the frantic cheers of the fans, Yiyang appeared in front of everyone with the O'Brien Cup in his left hand and the FMVP trophy in his right hand!
"Audience friends! It also officially brought the O'Brien Cup to Dallas! The reporter shouted into the microphone because it was too loud for the audience in front of the TV to hear.
At this time, the voice of the entire welcome team ushered in the climax stage!
Yiyang stood on the gangway and held both trophies high. He was tall alone, and below him was the cheers of the fans. At this time, he is the well-deserved king of the world!
After showing off his loot on the gangway, Yiyang slowly walked down. Suddenly, reporters and fans were not calm and frantically squeezed in.
The officers were like a great enemy, and they blocked the excited crowd. Even when Dirk took the O'Brien Cup off the plane in 2011, he didn't make that much movement!
Afterwards, the Mavericks players boarded the team bus that had been waiting for a long time and headed for the Center Arena of American Airlines.
Driving on the streets, almost every street is crowded with people. Fans poured into the streets, holding up their cards to welcome the championship and MVP home.
"This seems even crazier than it was three years ago!" Dirk looked out the window and shook his head in disbelief.
Yiyang silently looked at everything outside the window with a smile, everything that was spelled out by their hands and sweat.
When the bus, led by two mounted police officers, arrived outside the U.S. Route Center arena, it was unsurprisingly crowded with fans, surrounding the entire arena.
The players had to walk through the crowd and then into the arena. In just five minutes, the players walked for a full twenty minutes. If it weren't for the Dallas local police, the Mavericks players might not have been able to get to the court for the rest of their lives.
After entering the stadium and closing the gates, the players' ears finally cleared.
Kuban, who had a cigar in his mouth, beckoned to Yiyang: Come on, finish your duty!
Yiyang walked to the front of the team and pushed open the door of the Mavericks' honor showroom. Inside the room, all sides are decorated with gold. On the walls, there are many photos of the Mavericks' various glorious moments.
In the center of the room, in a large glass case, lay three Western Conference trophies and an O'Brien Cup. In a slightly smaller glass case next to it, samples of three championship rings are placed.
Cuban himself took out the key and opened the slightly larger cabinet. Then, everyone's eyes fell on Yiyang.
"Add this glory to our history!"
Yiyang swallowed his saliva, he didn't expect this matter to be so ceremonial. So the guy gave the FMVP trophy to Dirk for safekeeping, and then held the O'Brien Cup in both hands and cautiously approached the glass case.
After placing the O'Brien cup in the cupboard, Yiyang let out a sigh of relief. Everyone cheered, and from now on, the Dallas Mavericks will also be the team with two championship trophies!
"Thank you all for a season of hard work and for adding another great piece of success to the Dallas Mavericks! But that's not the end of it! I am sure that in the future I will have to remodel the showroom to be bigger to accommodate our trophies! ”
After a short celebration, everyone is going home. Cuban contacted everyone on cell phone about the championship parade, and the Mavericks were temporarily disbanded for their latest summer vacation in nearly three years.
After everyone left, Yiyang was still standing in the showroom, staring at the samples of the three championship rings.
"Mark." When only Yiyang and Kuban were left in the showroom, Yiyang opened his mouth and called out to his boss. "Can I ask you for something?"
Cuban smiled, this is the first time in so many years that Yiyang has asked to mention.
"Don't say one, even ten I promise!" Kuban didn't even ask Yiyang what was the matter, so he agreed. After all, the glory of Dallas in the future depends on Yiyang.
"No, just one thing. I know that the new championship rings are awarded at the first home game at the start of the new season. But...... Is it possible to ......"
"You don't have to beat around the bush with me, let's just say it."
"So, is it possible to issue the championship ring in advance?" Yiyang stared at Cuban, the championship has arrived, and now, it's just a beauty.
