Chapter 403: Parade to Win the Championship

Ye Feng slept for most of the day, and the fatigue of the finals trip was mostly gone. But now for him, the most important thing is to go to the hospital to check the ankle injury, although the fifth game of the finals looks awesome, but in fact, there is still obvious pain when running on the court.www.biquge.info

After eating something casually at a nearby restaurant, Ye Feng took a taxi directly to the hospital designated by the team for an examination. Interestingly, the taxi driver is also a die-hard pioneer fan, and after arriving at the destination, he didn't want Ye Feng to pay the fare, just begged Ye Feng to sign his name. In the end, Ye Feng couldn't resist him, and signed his name on a baseball cap printed with the Pioneer logo, and the driver immediately put the baseball cap on his head with a smile.

Naturally, the team management at the hospital greeted him, and the attending doctor gave Ye Feng the most comprehensive and detailed examination, anyway, it is now an offseason, and it is nothing to spend a little more time. After a detailed examination, the attending doctor told Ye Feng with a happy face that although this was a severe sprain and continued to play after simple treatment, it did not cause structural damage to the ankle, and he just needed to recuperate this summer without surgery.

Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief, no surgery was the best result. Although he just won the championship, who in the NBA would think that he has fewer championship rings? In the unlikely event that they miss most of the season due to surgery, the Trail Blazers don't know what kind of record they will be able to play at that time, and their state after their comeback is also worth worrying. Since you don't need surgery, you can recuperate this summer and save yourself some trouble.

The victory parade is scheduled for three days later, which is already considered very efficient, knowing that a parade requires a lot of preparation and a lot of money. It is also thanks to the owner of the Trail Blazers, Paul Allen, who is one of the richest people on the Forbes list, and it is said that he is very excited about the Trail Blazers winning the championship this year, and naturally he will not be too stingy, knowing that this is only the second championship in the history of the Trail Blazers, and it has been 34 years since the last championship.

The three days went by quickly, and on the day of the championship parade, the whole city of Portland was transformed into a sea of joy, red and white, the main colors of the Trail Blazers, everywhere in the city, and countless Trail Blazers fans poured into the streets to see the Trail Blazers players present the O'Brien Cup. Some gray-haired old fans trembled with the support of the juniors and came to watch the ceremony, chattering about the Trail Blazers' championship while waiting for the Trail Blazers' parade bus.

In the 1976-77 season, the Trail Blazers had a 49-33 record under Wharton's leadership, won the championship in the playoffs for the first time in team history, and Wharton himself was named the MVP of the Finals. Later, the Trail Blazers also reached the Finals twice, in 1990 and 1992, but lost to the Pistons' "Bad Boy Army" in 1990 and lost to Jordan and the Bulls in 1992.

In addition to the coaches, players, management and staff of the Trail Blazers, the championship parade also invited several famous names in the team's history, including Drexler, the "glider" who claimed to be able to compete with Jordan, and of course, the "Red Giant" Wharton, who led the team to win the championship that year.

Although Wharton has been retired for many years, he has a pretty good relationship with Yao Ming, and now seeing another Chinese face, especially the leader who led the Trail Blazers to win a second championship, Wharton can't help but feel a little close to Ye Feng. Although the cheers of the fans were deafening, the old and the young still seized all the free time available to chat, and Ye Feng almost forgot that as the leader of the team, he needed to stand at the front with the O'Brien Cup.

Roy and Oden, who are still recovering from injuries, also appeared on the parade bus, and although they haven't seen each other for a long time, they have never been estranged from each other, because they have always been on the Trail Blazers' roster, so they also have a share of this year's championship ring. Oden was heartlessly wearing a championship T-shirt and laughing with his teammates, but Roy's expression was a little embarrassed, and although he also played a few regular season games during the season, it was okay to say that the championship had nothing to do with him.

Of course Ye Feng knew what Roy was thinking, with his proud temperament, this championship was a bit hot. Thinking of this, Ye Feng patted Roy on the shoulder and whispered: "Since we can win the first championship, we can win the second, and the third, with the current age distribution of the team, can't we have another championship parade?" You'll have to be busy, Brandon, now you better recover from your injuries and prepare for the new season! ”

Looking at Ye Feng's sincere eyes, Roy nodded fiercely, he also urgently needed a chance to prove himself. After all, the feeling of winning a championship in soy sauce is completely different from fighting for a championship by himself, and he also agrees with Ye Feng's statement that with the current age structure of the pioneers, it may not be possible to win another championship.

The procession drove all the way to its destination, Pioneer Square. Named after the Pioneer Courthouse opposite, Pioneer Square covers an area of more than 3,000 square meters. Nearly every red brick on the ground is inscribed with the name of the person who donated to build and maintain the square, and the project called "Buy a Brick" is still ongoing. On the east side of the plaza is a signpost full of signs pointing to Portland's sister cities around the world and their distances.

On the rostrum, every player went up to express their feelings, as the team leader and the MVP of the finals, Ye Feng was placed at the back of the game, and no one objected to this arrangement. Holding the championship trophy and the FMVP trophy, Ye Feng stood on the stage, listening to the tsunami-like cheers of the fans, and his heart was full of emotion. "I remember three years ago, the Trail Blazers traded for the No. 6 pick and brought me to Portland, and I didn't expect to win a championship with the team in the third season of my career," he said. ”

"Although I won the MVP of the finals, this trophy should belong to everyone, including my teammates, coaches, team management and staff, and you," Ye Feng pointed to the fans in the audience, "I don't dare to make any guarantees for the time being, but we will continue to work hard, this is the second championship trophy in the history of our team, but there will be a third and fourth...... Until the moment when we can no longer stand on the field! ”
