Six Hundred and Eighth: Dark Blue

Link nervously took out the door key, and before opening the door, he looked inside the door like a thief.

If the neighbors and community security staff were not familiar with Link, it is estimated that he would have been caught as a thief.

In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, Link still picked up the key and opened the door.

"Damn, it's me! Even if there is a woman living in the house, that's my girlfriend, I'm afraid!"

When Link stepped into the door, the first thing he noticed was that the house had become a lot more tidy.

Although there were not many things in Link's house, a big man lived here by himself, and he didn't have so much time to take care of the house, so it was still somewhat messy. In addition, the sofa that Link was sleeping on last night made the living room a mess.

But now, everything is where it should be. The sofa was also tidied up, and there was no sign that anyone had slept last night.

Other than that, there is nothing unusual about the house. What about Rachel? Is she gone? When Link went out, Rachel was still awake. Shouldn't he be sleeping now?

Just when Link was wondering, the door to the bathroom 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. Did today's wrap-up meeting go well? Link? Link?"

Rachel noticed that Link's eyes were staring straight at her, and she waved at Link.

As soon as he got home, he saw a woman who was only wrapped in a bath towel. Could Link not be dazed! ? This is simply startling.

"Uh... nothing goes well or not, that is, Sean and Brad both announced their departure from the team."

Link hurriedly took his eyes away from Rachel, feeling a little too angry.

"Leaving the team? But you obviously just won the championship."

"There are various reasons. This is professional basketball. By the way, are you feeling better? You were very drunk yesterday."

"Much better, I was so happy yesterday that I couldn't control it, hehe. By the way, Link, do you have any plans for this summer?" Rachel hugged Link from behind and brought it to Link's ear.

"Speaking of which, I haven't had time to make any holiday plans this year. After all, this is the last year my season ends."

In the past two seasons, Link has ended his work for one season at the end of May, or at the beginning of June at the most.

During the vacant period that followed, Link would take time to discuss vacation plans with his manager, Jeff Austin.

But this year, Link's season didn't end until yesterday, and naturally there was no time to plan ahead.

"But if nothing else happens, it should be similar to previous years. Tourism, business activities, training, games... What? Do you have a plan?" Link turned his head and looked at the smile he had been laughing since just now. sharpness.

"I don't have any plans either, but I want to...stay here with you for a while. This time, I don't have to make excuses for an interview. Can I stay for free? Sir, I can do it. I can help you make breakfast and help you clean the house." Rachel and Link joked.

"Uh... This, of course I won't charge you any more. You can stay as long as you want, and I'll be empty if I live alone."

Link did not refuse, why should he refuse? Looks like it's time to plan this summer.

※※※

On June 24, the Grizzlies beat the Heat with 18 points to win the championship.

At the entrance of the Bruce Art Museum, a long line of motorcades are standing by.

The composition of the convoy was unusual at first glance, with four mounted police officers and two police cars in the lead. After that, several double-decker buses followed! Behind the double-decker bus was another police car, followed by a few fire trucks at the end.

In total, this team of 36 vehicles of various sizes is the vast team that the Grizzlies will soon participate in the championship parade!

And today is the day the championship parade begins!

Link hasn't figured out how to spend this holiday with Rachel.

The championship parade ensues. After winning the championship, this is undoubtedly the rally that all fans and players have been looking forward to for a long time.

In addition to the motorcade, the march included 586 police officers, 183 firefighters, and 107 city workers.

Add in the miscellaneous expenses, and the total budget of the Grizzlies' parade is as high as 3 million US dollars!

Of course, Robert Pera did not pay for the 3 million. Of that, $1 million was borne by the local government of Memphis.

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 led to the economic growth of the entire city of Memphis.

If nothing else, the parking lot near the parade route has risen to an exaggerated $30 an hour today!

Parking a car for more than 200 RMB for an hour is no different from robbery. But even so, all the parking lots are full!

"Look at this battle, they also said that there won't be many people coming to the parade in Memphis. Hahahaha, scare them to death!"

Randolph stood on the double-decker bus and laughed smugly. Before the convoy set off, he could already see the crowd in front of him.

Link also smiled. He didn't expect the parade to be so lively. Two days ago, the media also sneered that the parade in Memphis might be cold.

Because Memphis itself has a small population, and the people here are so busy with their livelihoods that they have no time to join in the fun.

The results of it? According to statistics, as many as 1.1 million fans came to the rally today, and slapped those yin and yang media!

What is the concept of 1.1 million people gathering in Memphis? You know, the total population of Memphis is only about 680,000.

The total population of the entire Greater Memphis area is as high as 1.8 million, and today in addition to Memphis citizens, the parade includes fans from other Tennessee cities such as Nashville, Chattanooga and Knoxville. There are even many fans from far away areas who flew to Memphis to participate in the parade.

In this way, the city of Memphis today is equivalent to suddenly doubling the population! Cold field? nonexistent!

To avoid overcrowding, Pera also chose to hold a parade on Monday. However, the parade still easily gathered millions of people. If you choose to hold the parade on the weekend, I am afraid that the number of participants will be larger.

The day's parade starts at 11am, but if you want to sit at the office until 11am and drop by to watch the parade, you're doing it wrong. At 11 o'clock, the traffic in downtown Memphis was paralyzed, except for the parade vehicles, only traffic could be seen on the viaduct.

Places on the parade route were already occupied 16 hours ago! Some people are even willing to pay $50 just to squeeze in a crowd and get a glimpse of their hero.

The people of Memphis have never been so proud, and in every way, they are too insignificant. Outside you say you're from Memphis, from Tennessee, and people look at you like a hillbilly.

Thus, the Grizzlies' title win went way beyond basketball's boundaries early on. This is a prosperous world that makes all Memphis proud, not just basketball.

The car started, Link held the O'Brien cup and slowly drove into the crowd.

Next, just enjoy yourself.

Link and O'Brien Cup are on the front bus, and the bus has been changed to a dark blue full of villainy temperament. On the body, the word "champion" is printed in big letters.

Just as the vehicle drove into the crowd, Link provoked wild cheers from the crowd.

The older generation of Memphis people can't help but feel that this is comparable to the sensation that Elvis Presley could have caused.

Everyone waved and shouted at the fans, but Link was the most popular. This double-team + FMVP winner is definitely the greatest sports star in Memphis history. For now, the title doesn't even have "one" after it.

Gradually, wherever Link passed, there was a neat shout, "Salute to the King!"

To be honest, it was not the first time that Link was shouted in unison by the fans. But the shouts of less than 20,000 people in the arena and the shouts of millions of people at the parade are completely different concepts.

And, being called "King" in front of so many people, Link must admit that he was shocked.

It seems that he did not win the championship, but conquered the whole world!

Link couldn't help but close his eyes, all this really seemed like a dream.

But when he opened his eyes again and saw the dark blue eyes - not only this street, forward, backward, there was a dark blue everywhere where Link couldn't see his head.

Link told himself that this is a reality that is more beautiful than a dream!

I really hope this is a better reality than a dream and don't get interrupted.

"This is crazy, Link, I've never seen such a crazy scene in my life!" Randolph was incoherent, and he just kept waving at the fans.

Link looked at the dark blue of the city and 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 as many times as you want. Can."

The king of Memphis has made up his mind to hold fast to his subjects and lands.
