Chapter 500 [Champion’s Speech! Yes We Can! 】

? The Suns didn’t have a party in Detroit to celebrate the victory that night and flew directly back to Phoenix.

In the previous two games, Pistons fans had a very unfriendly attitude towards the Suns. In the third game, when Guo Xu left the field, some fans even threw drinks at him, which caused a bad response.

When the Pistons last won the championship in 1990, eight people were killed in a celebration parade in Detroit. Six people were hit by cars, one fell from a roof and died, and another was shot to death. Unlawful looting took advantage of the chaos. Gangsters are all over the city...

For this reason, the people in Detroit were once called the "mob", and the Suns players were not willing to gamble on the improvement of the quality of the fans just to stay one more night. Since you're not having fun, it's better to just go home.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Pistons fans could never wash away their bad reputation. The battle at the Palace of Auburn Hills is the best example. In the past, conflicts always occurred between players. Only at the Pistons' home court did players and fans fight collectively.

After returning to Phoenix, everyone had a dinner to celebrate, and then stayed at home during the holidays to wait for the announcement and prepare to participate in the championship parade.

It took three days for the championship parade to be finalized. It was not because the management was poor at work, but because of the special geographical location of Phoenix. While other teams held their parade during the day, the Suns held their parade at night, which was unique in the NBA.

This arrangement was decided after discussion and communication among many parties. Although more police personnel would be deployed to assist the parade in the evening, at least medical staff would not be needed. What if the event is held during the day and a large group of fans gather together to cheer in the 40-degree heat? How many people will suffer from heat stroke?

What is more difficult to control than heat stroke is the emotions of fans. People who go out on hot days are easily irritable. It would be terrible if conflicts arise over trivial matters such as crowding.

In short, for celebrations and parades, people must be convinced with morality and safety first.

In the evening parade, the floats are equipped with lights, and the street lights are turned on along the way. Fans can see the players clearly, applaud and interact with them. The route of the parade was also discussed many times, and spacious streets were chosen to avoid accidents.

Guo Xu brought his "family members" to the championship parade for the first time. Megan was enjoying the applause of fans on the float with him. She seemed a little elated, as if she had become a super star, or at least a celebrity wife.

When she was in Los Angeles, Megan was a little envious of Vanessa's exposure. Now, thanks to a popular movie and the identity of Guo Xu's girlfriend, her popularity has far surpassed Vanessa's.

Megan fell in love with Guo Xu more and more, and recognized him in this life. She feels that her man is a hero, a superman, a genius, who can fulfill all her fantasies.

As a child, after watching romance movies, she often imagined that her future boyfriend would be a big star.

An unparalleled 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 more famous than Guo Xu. As long as Megan is by his side, she will be very prosperous and will be envied by countless people. If I use a Chinese idiom to describe it, the most suitable one is... a fox pretends to be a tiger?

Although Phoenix's geographical location is not as good as that of Los Angeles, its population ranks fifth in the United States. It is roughly estimated that one million people participated in the parade. The city has not been so lively for a long time.

This city surrounded by desert naturally has its own unique charm in attracting so many people to settle there. This year they were rated as the third best city in the United States for security after San Diego and San Antonio. Probably because there are a large number of Catholics, Christians, and Mormons here, or maybe because the weather is too hot, and everyone is reluctant to go out and commit crimes for fear of being fucked in the sun.

All in all, the procession went very smoothly and order was maintained well.

After the parade, the Suns held a recognition meeting at the Arizona State University football stadium. About 50,000 fans, mostly young people, came to watch. The coaches and players came on stage one by one. Under the host's questions, they expressed their thoughts to the fans on the temporary stage set up in the field.

The person the young players are most grateful to is Guo Xu. Haslem even made public the fact that his girlfriend joined Guo Xu's catering company. "Jason is the best leader and a loyal friend. He is not old, but he is our big brother in the Suns."

Diop said: "I am so happy. The Suns are the best team. My teammates and coaches helped me integrate here quickly. My offense is still terrible but they will not laugh at me, they will only praise my defense."

Rookie Josh Howard smiled so hard that both rows of teeth popped out. "I joined the best team when I first entered the league and won a championship. I feel like I am the luckiest person."

The next veteran, Kukoc, overturned this statement. "Josh said he is the luckiest, but I don't believe it. I am a player with four championship rings. I have worked with two of the greatest perimeter players in the NBA. Yes, I think Jason will definitely be comparable to Jordan in the future. "

Guo Xu made his final appearance and stole the show, delivering a long speech summarizing his journey since joining the Suns.

The year before last, the Suns began to rebuild. Marbury and Hardaway left. Many people said that the Suns had become a bad team and predicted that the Suns would not be able to 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 despair, Mike D'Antoni and a group of outstanding young people stepped up. The Suns used run-and-gun tactics to get out of the predicament and became the Western Conference's leader. Powerful. Yes, we can do it.

When the rookies participated in the playoffs for the first time, we were inexperienced but reached the Western Conference Finals and lost in the tiebreaker. We were only one step away from the championship. Together, all of us have witnessed the Suns' successful and great rebuilding. Yes, we can do it.

In the summer of 2003, when the Lakers formed the F4, the Timberwolves formed the three-headed monster, and Dallas formed the five-star Mavericks, experts predicted that our record would decline. Our actions showed everyone that we could succeed. Yes, we can do it.

The Suns spent a long 82-game regular season and had the best record, but after losing two games to the Timberwolves in the playoffs, we received numerous doubts. They questioned our youth and said we couldn't beat those veterans. As a result, we once again proved ourselves with our strength, and any three-headed monster is just a cloud. Yes, we can do it.

Now, I just want to tell everyone that this is our moment, this is our era, 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 When the time comes, we should respond to them with this eternal creed - Yes, we can do it!

Thank you to everyone who supports the Suns and God bless you. Now, everyone is saying, can we successfully defend the title next year?

The audience was in high spirits and chanted together: "Yes, we can do it."

The coaching staff and teammates were all shocked. They felt that their performance when expressing their feelings just now was too poor.

When a few simple words shone with light, everyone present felt the majestic power. Guo Xu can lead so many people to shout slogans together. What kind of speaking talent is this?

Jerry Colangelo and his son Brian Colangelo, who were preparing to compete for the position of general manager of the U.S. national team, both looked at each other with their mouths wide open.

Brian waited for the audience's voices to subside and sighed: "What else can Jason not do? It's just brainwashing."

Jerry nodded in agreement: "I think he should run for president after he retires."
