"The Bucks!"

"The Bucks!"

"The Bucks!"

About four or five days after the Finals, the quiet morning in Milwaukee was broken by a call from the Bucks.

Hundreds of thousands of fans in green shirts gathered together holding various banners celebrating the Bucks' championship.

Surrounded by the crowd, several double-decker open-top sightseeing buses slowly passed by. The most conspicuous one on the leading sightseeing bus was Yi Jianlian, who was leaning on the railing. All the fans who saw him also subconsciously changed the cheers from the "bucks". Team" has become "mvp"!

The Milwaukee Bucks are on their championship parade!

It is worth mentioning that these sightseeing buses are all made by China, and in the past years of NBA championship parades of other teams, this brand of sightseeing buses have been used many times.

In other words, the NBA championship parade also reflects the strength of China.

The diehard fans of Milwaukee have been waiting for this parade for n years. Although they have won the championship, in that ancient era, the championship parade was not as powerful as it is now, and it is not as popular as it is now. In the history of the NBA The last large-scale and influential championship parade was in 1978. At that time, it had been 7 years since the Bucks won the first championship. In other words, even though Milwaukee had won the championship, it was so It's the first time for the championship parade in the big battle!

The bus carrying all the Bucks is slowly heading towards the downtown area of ​​Milwaukee, and the number of fans gathered is also increasing. It is roughly estimated that it will almost exceed 500,000!

Speaking of which, a championship parade consumes a lot of money, whether it is manpower or material resources. For example, in the 2017 Warriors championship parade, a total of 588 police officers, 114 firefighters and 153 municipal engineering personnel were arranged. Just manpower, and a series of material resources such as mobile toilets, beverages, audio equipment, etc. are all added together. In fact, even if you know the cost, it must be a huge expense.

In addition, for this championship parade, the city government of Milwaukee has to help arrange a special route for the parade, which is another aspect of consumption.

And this cost is all paid by the city of Milwaukee and the top Bucks.

It is said that holding such a laborious parade is somewhat thankless, but in fact, the benefits of the parade are also huge. It can not only enhance the team’s sense of identity with the city, let the team truly connect with the city, but also allow fans to understand The team has a more sense of belonging, and can also promote the city’s “brand image”. Take Cleveland as an example. As a dilapidated town that has declined from the five largest cities in the United States, they have developed vigorously with the help of LeBron and the Cavaliers. The service industry and the tourism industry have gradually recovered their vitality. This is the fundamental reason why Cleveland will post a giant LeBron James poster on the most central building in the city.

Milwaukee is similar to Cleveland to some extent. Although it is not that downright, the Bucks' victory is bound to bring economic growth to Milwaukee as a whole.

With the gradual expansion of the influence of the nba in recent years, the scale of the nba championship parade has become larger and larger, gradually surpassing the championship parade of the other three major sports events in the United States.

It can also be seen from here that the NBA championship parade is the most decent among the four major leagues in the United States.

After the Bucks' sightseeing bus entered the troubled area, because more and more fans participated in the parade, the speed of the whole was getting slower and slower. Yi Jianlian, who was originally just waving to the fans in the car, simply walked on, and started to be followed along the way. The interaction of the fans blocked by the railings suddenly became more heated.

"Mvp!"

"Mvp!"

"Mvp!"

The cheers were getting louder and louder, but Yi Jianlian put his hands on his ears as if he was still unsatisfied, and made a listening gesture.

"Mvp!!!"

"Mvp!!!"

"Mvp!!!"

The cheers took a step further under the stimulation of Yi Jianlian, and the sound of car horns along the way was completely covered by the voices of the fans.

Yi Jianlian was also taken aback, showing emotion, shook his head slightly, and muttered this too crazy, right? Reached out and gave a thumbs up to the fans in front of him.

He was convinced anyway.

"Easy!"

Yi Jianlian was walking slowly with the tortoise-speed sightseeing bus. Among the fans, a middle-aged man raised his five or six-year-old son above his head. The blond boy's hand was just able to reach Yi Jianlian.

Yi Jianlian felt that he had been caught, and he turned his head and glanced subconsciously. When he saw that it was a little boy who was stopping him, he couldn't help stopping and looked at the little boy with interest. He wanted to know. Why did this little boy stop him.

When he stopped, the fans on both sides of the boy stopped cheering. The scene suddenly became quiet. All the fans looked at Yi Jianlian and the boy in this way.

Suddenly the gaze of so many people made the little boy a little shy~lightnovelpub.net~ his mouth was open for a long time without speaking.

"Did you stop me trying to say something?" Yi Jianlian asked with a smile.

The little boy nodded timidly.

"Do you want to sign?" Yi Jianlian asked again.

The little boy shook his head.

"..." Why don't you play your cards according to common sense?

"Do you want to take a group photo?"

The little boy continued to shake his head.

"..." Oh, let me go, is this trying to mess up the venue?

Yi Jianlian was a little embarrassed. The little boy's father was even more embarrassed. He comforted the little boy softly. He didn't know what he said. The little boy finally spoke: "Yi, will you leave Milwaukee?"

As soon as I said this, the scene was completely quiet, and even the parade cars stopped just right. Everyone, including the Bucks teammates on the sightseeing car, also looked at Yi Jianlian at the same time.

They all want to know the answer to this question.

Yi Jianlian did not expect that the little boy hesitated for a long time and wanted to ask this question.

But think about it right, next year will be his contract year, but so far there is no news about his early renewal, which really makes Milwaukee fans more or less uneasy.

After all, the last superstar also applied for a deal after winning a championship. As for the Bucks in recent years, many young talents have been blacklisted. No potential newcomer is willing to come to Milwaukee. They are. It took 39 years to look forward to Yi Jianlian. Naturally, he was concerned about the new future of Milwaukee and whether he would leave Milwaukee.

"Then can you tell me your name?" Yi Jianlian didn't answer first, but instead asked the boy's name.

"Ryan, Ryan Smith."

"Okay, kid Ryan, I can tell you with certainty that I will stay here because I like Milwaukee!"
