Chapter 500 [The Champion's Speech! Yes we can! 】
The Suns did not hold a party in Detroit to celebrate the victory that night, and flew back to Phoenix.
In the previous two games, the Pistons fans were very unfriendly to the Suns. When Guo Xu left the court in the third game, some fans even poured drinks at him, which caused a bad response.
When the Pistons won the championship in 1990, eight people in Detroit died during the celebration parade, six people were hit by cars, one fell from the roof and one died, and one was shot to death. The illegal people who took advantage of the chaos to rob the city...
For this reason, the Detroit group was once called "mob", and Suns players were unwilling to improve the quality of the fans to stay for one more night. Since they were not having fun, it would be better to go home directly.
In Guo Xu's previous life, Pistons fans could never lose their reputation. The Auburn Palace Battle is the best example. In the past, conflicts occurred between players, and only the Pistons had collective fights between players and fans at home.
After returning to Phoenix City, everyone had a dinner party to celebrate, and then waited for notifications at home during holidays, preparing to participate in the championship parade.
It took three days to wait, and the championship parade was confirmed. It was not because the management was too poor, but because Phoenix City had a special geographical location. Other teams were parading during the day, and the Suns were scheduled to be at night, which was the only number in the NBA.
This arrangement was decided after discussion and communication among many parties. Although there are more police forces to assist the parade at night, at least the medical staff does not need to take action. If a large group of fans gather together during the day and cheer and cheer in the 40-degree high temperature? How many people will suffer from heatstroke?
What is more difficult to control than heatstroke is the emotions of fans. People who go out in hot weather are prone to irritability, and it will be bad if they conflict due to small matters such as crowding.
In short, to celebrate the parade, one must be convinced by virtue and safety first.
There were parades in the evening, and lights were prepared on the floats, and the street lights were all turned on on the way. Fans could see the players clearly, applaud and interact with them. The route of the parade was also discussed many times, and the spacious streets were chosen to avoid accidents.
Guo Xu brought his "family" to participate in the championship parade for the first time. Meghan and he enjoyed the applause of fans on the float. They were a little fluttering, as if she had become a super star, at least the star's wife.
When she was in Los Angeles, Megan was a little envious of Vanessa's exposure. Now, she has far surpassed Vanessa by relying on a popular movie and Guo Xu's girlfriend.
Meghan likes Guo Xu more and more, and has recognized him in this life. She feels that her man is a hero, a superman, a genius, and can satisfy all her fantasies.
When she was a child, she often fantasized about her future boyfriend being a big star and a great hero. Guo Xu's current fame and status are much stronger than she thought back then.
Looking at the entire United States, there are not many people who are more famous than Guo Xu. Meghan is very glorious as long as he is around him and will be envied by countless people. If you use a Chinese idiom to describe it, the most suitable one is... the fox is fake and the tiger is powerful?
Although Phoenix's geographical location is not as good as Los Angeles, it ranks fifth in the United States in terms of population. It is roughly estimated that one million people participated in the parade. It has not been so lively in the city for a long time.
This city surrounded by deserts naturally has its own unique charm. This year, they were named the third best city in the United States, second only to San Diego and San Antonio. Perhaps because it has a large number of Catholics, Christians, and Mormons, it may be that the weather is too hot, no one wants to go out to commit crimes, for fear of being blown into a blow.
In short, the process of the parade was very smooth and the on-site order was maintained very well.
After the parade, the Suns held a commendation meeting at the Arizona State University football stadium, with about 50,000 fans present, most of them young people. The coaches and players appeared one by one. Under the question from the host, they expressed their thoughts to the fans on the temporary stage set up on the court.
The people the young players thank most are Guo Xu. Haslem even made the news that his girlfriend joined Guo Xu's catering company publicly. "Jason is the best leader, a righteous friend. He is not very old, but he is our eldest brother in the Suns."
Diop said: "I'm so happy. The Suns are the best team, and my teammates and coaches helped me get into it quickly. My offense is still terrible but they won't laugh at me, they will only praise my defense."
Rookie Josh Howard laughed and both rows of teeth were buckled. "I joined the best team as soon as I entered the league and won the championship. I think I am the luckiest person."
The next veteran Kukochi, who played, overturned the statement. "Josh said he was the luckiest. I don't believe it. I'm a player with four championship rings. I have worked with the two greatest outside players of the NBA. Yes, I think Jason will definitely be comparable to Jordan in the future."
Guo Xu made the finale, made a big splash, delivered a large speech, summarizing his journey of joining the Suns.
The Suns began to rebuild the year before yesterday, Marbury and Hardaway left. Many people said that the Suns became a bad team and predicted that the Suns would not make the playoffs for a long time. They were wrong. Yes, we can do it.
When an incompetent coach messed up the team at the beginning of the season and made the fans feel desperate, Mike D'Anthony and a group of outstanding young men stood up, and the Suns used the running and bombing tactic to get out of the dilemma and become the Western Conference powerhouse. Yes, we can do it.
When the rookies first participated in the playoffs, we were inexperienced and reached the Western Conference Finals, losing seventh, and we were only one step away from the championship. Together, we witnessed the successful and great reconstruction of the Suns. Yes, we can do it.
When the Lakers formed F4, the Timberwolves formed three monsters, and Dallas formed five-star Mavericks, experts predicted that our results would decline. We told everyone with actions that we could succeed. Yes, we could do it.
The Suns spent a long 82 regular season games and had their best record, but after losing to the Timberwolves two games in the playoffs, we were questioned countless times. They questioned our youth and said we could not win those veterans. As a result, we proved ourselves again with our strength that all three-headed monsters are floating clouds. Yes, we can do it.
Now, I just want to tell everyone that this is our moment, this is our time, and the next dynasty team in the NBA will definitely be the Suns, when we encounter ridicule and doubt, when someone says we can't do it, we must respond with this eternal creed, yes, we can do it!
Thank you to all those who support the Suns, may God bless you. Now, everyone says, can we successfully defend our title next year?
The audience was in high spirits and shouted together: "Yes, we can do it."
The coaching staff members and teammates were shocked and felt that they performed too poorly when they said they were just now.
When a few simple words flashed, everyone present felt the tremendous power. Guo Xu could actually bring so many people to shout slogans. What kind of speech is this?
Jerry Colangelo, who was preparing to compete for the position of general manager of the US national team, and his son Brian Colangelo both opened their mouths and looked at each other.
Brian and other audiences were crying less and sighed: "What else is there that Jason doesn't know? It's simply brainwashing."
