608: dark blue
Link took out the door key nervously, and before opening the door, he looked inside the door like a thief.
If the neighbors and community security personnel hadn't been familiar with Link, he would have been arrested as a thief.
In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, Link picked up the key and opened the door.
"Damn it, this is myself! Even if there is a woman living in the house, it is still my girlfriend, I'm afraid of being furious!"
After Link stepped into the door, the first thing he discovered was that the house had become much more neat.
Although there weren't many things in Link's house, a big man lived here by himself and didn't have so much time to manage the house, so it was still a bit messy. In addition, Link slept on the sofa last night, which made the living room even messy.
But now, everything is placed where they should appear. The sofa is also neatly packed, and there is no sign of anyone sleeping last night.
Apart from that, there is nothing strange at home. Where is Rachel? Has she left? When Link went out, Rachel was not awake yet. Could it be that she is still sleeping now, right?
Just as Link was confused, 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. Is today's summary meeting still going well? Link? Link?"
Rachel noticed that Link's eyes were staring at him, so she waved to Link.
As soon as I got home, I saw a woman wrapped in a bath towel all over my body. How could Link not be stunned? This was simply a terrifying step by step.
"Uh, nothing goes well or not, that is, Sean and Brad both announced their departure." : :
Link quickly moved his eyes away from Rachel, which was really a little too angry.
"Leaving the team? But you obviously won the championship just now."
"There are all kinds of reasons, this is professional basketball. By the way, do you feel better? You were very drunk yesterday."
"It's much better. I was so happy yesterday. I couldn't control it, hehe. By the way, Link, do you have any plans this summer?" Rachel hugged Link from behind and leaned into Link's ear.
"Speaking of this year, I haven't had time to plan my holidays yet. After all, this is the latest year for my season."
In the past two seasons, Link had finished his work season at the end of May and at most early June.
During the subsequent window period, Link would take time to discuss holiday plans with his manager Jeff Austin.
But this year, Link's season didn't end until yesterday, so naturally there was no time to plan ahead.
"But if nothing unexpected happens, it should be similar to previous years. What about tourism, business activities, training, and ball games? Do you have any plans?" Link turned his head and looked at the sharpness that had been laughing since the beginning.
"I don't have any plans, but I want to stay here for a while. This time, I don't have to use the excuse of doing an exclusive interview again. Can I stay for free? Sir, I'm very capable. I can help you make breakfast and clean up the house." Rachel and Link joked.
"Uh... Of course, I won't charge you any money. You can live as long as you want, anyway, I'm empty if I live alone."
Link didn't refuse, why did he refuse? It seems that this summer, it's time to plan a good plan.
※※※
On June 24, the Grizzlies reversed the Heat's 18-point victory on the fourth day after they won the championship.
At the entrance of the Bruce Museum of Art, a long convoy was on standby.
The formation of the convoy was unusual at a glance. The front car was four mount policemen and two police cars. After that, several double-decker buses followed! Behind the double-decker bus was a police car, and several fire trucks were followed at the end.
In total, this team of 36 vehicles of all sizes is the vast team that the Grizzlies are about to participate in the championship parade!
And today is the day when the championship parade begins!
Before Link could think about how to spend this holiday with Rachel, the championship parade followed one after another. After winning the championship, this was undoubtedly a long-awaited rally for all fans and players.
In addition to the convoy, the parade also included 586 police officers, 183 firefighters and 107 municipal staff.
Coupled with the various expenses, the Grizzlies' total budget for this parade is as high as $3 million!
Of course, Robert Pera did not pay for all of the 3 million dollars. $1 million was borne by the local Memphis government.
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 driven the economic growth of the entire Memphis City.
Not to mention anything else, the parking lot near the parade route has increased to an exaggerated $30 per hour today!
Parking a car for more than 200 yuan for an hour is no different from robbery. However, even so, all parking lots are full!
"Look at this situation, they also said that there will not be many people in Memphis to participate in the parade. Hahahaha, scare them to death!"
Randolph stood on the double-decker bus and laughed proudly. Before the convoy set off, he could see the crowd in front of him.
Link also smiled, and he didn't expect the parade to be so lively. The media had to sarcastically say that the Memphis parade might encounter a cold situation.
Because Memphis itself is not very population, and the people here are busy with their livelihoods, so they don’t have time to join in the fun.
What's the result? According to statistics, as many as 1.1 million fans who came to the rally today slap those sarcastic media!
What does it mean to gather 1.1 million people in Memphis? You should know that the total population of Memphis City is only about 680,000.
The total population of the entire Greater Memphis region is as high as 1.8 million. Today, in addition to Memphis citizens, fans from other cities in Tennessee, such as Nashville, Chatnuga and Knoxville. Many fans from other areas far away came to Memphis to participate in the parade.
In this way, today Memphis City is equivalent to a sudden double the population! A cold situation? It doesn’t exist!
In order to avoid overcrowding of the crowd, Pera also specially chose to hold a parade on Monday. However, the parade still gathered millions easily. If he chose to hold a parade on the weekend, he was afraid that more people would participate.
The parade that day began at 11 a.m., but if you want to sit in the office until 11 a.m. and then go out to watch a parade, you’re very wrong. At 11 a.m., traffic in downtown Memphis was already paralyzed, and except for the parade vehicles, you can only see traffic passing by on the viaduct.
As early as 16 hours ago, the locations on the parade route were already full! Some people were even willing to spend $50 just to squeeze into the crowd and take a look at the hero in their minds.
Memphis people have never been so proud, and they are too unpresent in any aspect. Outside you say you are from Memphis, from Tennessee, and people will look at you with the eyes of the country bumpkins.
Therefore, the Grizzlies' championship was already beyond the boundaries of basketball. This was a prosperous era that made all Memphis people proud, and it was not just basketball.
The car started, Link slowly drove into the crowd with O'Brien Cup.
Next, all I can do is enjoy it.
Link and O'Brien Cup were all changed to dark blue with villain temperament. The word "champion" was printed on the body of the car.
As soon as the vehicle entered the crowd, Link aroused people's crazy cheers.
The older generation of Memphis people couldn't help but sigh that this was comparable to the sensation that Elvis could have caused back then.
Everyone waved and shouted at the fans, but the most popular one was Link. This double first round + FMVP winner is definitely the greatest sports star in Memphis history. For now, there is no need to add even "one" behind this title.
Gradually, whenever Link passes by, there will be a neat shout, "Salute to the King!" Mobile::
To be honest, this is not the first time that Link has been shouted in unison by all the fans of the venue. But the shouts of less than 20,000 people in the stadium and the shouts of millions at the parade are completely different.
Moreover, being called "king" in front of so many people, Link must admit that he was shocked himself.
It seemed that he won not the championship, but conquered the whole world!
Link couldn't help but close his eyes, it was like a dream.
But when he opened his eyes again and saw the dark blue everywhere, it was not only this street, but also forward and backward. There was dark blue everywhere in the place where Link could not see it at a glance.
Link told himself that this is a reality that is more beautiful than a dream!
I really hope this reality is not better than dreams and will not be interrupted.
"This is crazy, Link, I have never seen such a crazy scene in my life!" Randolph was already incoherent and kept waving to the fans.
Link looked at the dark blue all over the city, looked at the O'Brien Cup in his arms, and said softly, "Don't worry, Zach. This kind of scene will happen often in the future. You can watch it any time you want."
Chapter completed!
