Rebirth of Yidi Legend

Chapter 399 Champion Parade
"Bucks!"

"Bucks!"

"Bucks!"

About four or five days after the Finals, Milwaukee's quiet morning was broken by the call of the Bucks.

Hundreds of thousands of fans in green sweatshirts gathered with 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 leaning on the railing, and all the fans who saw him subconsciously turned their cheers from "Bucks "Team" became "MVP"!
The Milwaukee Bucks are on their championship parade!

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

In other words, the NBA's championship parade also reflects the power of China.

The die-hard fans in 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 grand as it is now, nor is it as popular as it is now. In the history of the NBA The first large-scale and influential championship parade was in 1978. At that time, 7 years had passed since the Bucks won the first championship. This is the first time for a big championship parade!
The bus carrying all the members of the Bucks slowly headed towards the downtown area of ​​Milwaukee, and the number of fans gathered was also increasing, roughly estimated to be more than 50 people!
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 deployed. It's just manpower, and a series of material resources such as mobile toilets, drinks, audio equipment, etc. are all added together. In fact, this cost can be known with a little calculation, and 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 all the expenses were paid by the Milwaukee city government and the Bucks executives.

Ordinarily, holding such a time-consuming parade is somewhat thankless, but in fact the benefits brought by the parade are also huge. It can not only enhance the team's sense of identity with the city, make the team truly connected with the city, but also let the fans feel good about the city. The team has a more sense of belonging, and it can also promote the "brand image" of the city. Take Cleveland as an example. As a dilapidated town that has declined from the five largest cities in the United States, it is with the help of LeBron and the Cavaliers. The service industry and the tourism industry have only gradually recovered, which is the fundamental reason why Cleveland puts a giant poster of LeBron James on the city's most central building.

Milwaukee is similar to Cleveland to some extent. Although it is not so down and out, the Bucks' championship is bound to bring economic growth to the entire Milwaukee.

With the gradual expansion of the influence of the NBA in recent years, the scale of the NBA Championship Parade has also become larger and larger, gradually catching up with the strength of the championship parade of the other three major sports events in the United States.

It can also be seen from this that the NBA's 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 overall speed became slower and slower. Yi Jianlian, who was just waving to the fans in the bus, simply walked down and began to be followed along the way. The fans who were blocked by the railings interacted, and the normal atmosphere suddenly became more heated.

"MVP!"

"MVP!"

"MVP!"

The cheers became louder and louder, but Yi Jianlian put his hands to his ears as if he was still dissatisfied, and acted as if he was listening.

"MVP!!"

"MVP!!"

"MVP!!"

The cheers were stimulated by Yi Jianlian to a higher level, 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, shaking his head slightly, muttering that this is too crazy, right?He stretched out his hand and gave a thumbs up to the fans in front of him.

He was convinced anyway.

"easy!"

Yi Jianlian was walking slowly with the fast-moving sightseeing bus. Among the fans, a middle-aged man lifted his five or six-year-old son over his head. The blond boy's hand could just reach Yi Jianlian.

Yi Jianlian felt that someone had grabbed him, and turned his head to look subconsciously. When he saw that it was a little boy who stopped him, he couldn't help but stop and looked at the little boy with great interest. He wanted to know, Why did this little boy stop him.

At the same time as he stopped, the fans on both sides of the little boy also stopped cheering, and the scene suddenly fell silent. All the fans looked at Yi Jianlian and the little boy like this.

Suddenly so many people's gazes made the little boy a little shy, and he opened his mouth and didn't speak for a long time.

"Did you stop me 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 cards according to common sense?
"Do you want to take a photo?"

The little boy continued to shake his head.

"..." Oh, let me go, is this trying to mess things up?
Yi Jianlian was a little embarrassed, and the little boy's father was even more embarrassed. He comforted the little boy softly. He didn't know what to say, and the little boy finally said, "Yi, will you leave Milwaukee?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene was completely quiet. Even the parade car stopped just right, and everyone, including the Bucks teammates on the sightseeing car, 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 to ask this question.

But it's right to think about it, next year is his contract year, but there is no news about his early contract extension, which will indeed make Milwaukee fans more or less uneasy.

After all, the last superstar also applied for a trade after winning a championship. As for these years, the Bucks have been blacklisted by many young talents. No newcomer with potential is willing to come to Milwaukee. It took 39 years to look forward to Yi Jianlian. Naturally, I am concerned about whether the new future of Milwaukee will also think about leaving Milwaukee.

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

"Lane, Ryan Smith."

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