The Godfather of Basketball

The NBA's awards speeches are over, and then it's time for the real championship celebration of the Nets.

The staff and Xiao Hua all left one after another, Tang Tian also went back to the locker room with the team members after saying goodbye to Boss Ma.

There was champagne already prepared in the locker room. After the players entered, they shouted crazily and shook the champagne when they picked it up.

In the locker room, it rained champagne all over the sky.

For them, being able to win the championship in the away game of the Warriors tonight is really exciting enough.

Tang Tian was doused with champagne, but there was no shortage of smiles on his face.

A lot of people on this team are under pressure and now is the time to let it go.

After the celebration in the locker room, and after taking a shower, Tang Tian took them to the strip club again. Compared with the youthful and reserved time when he first came to the league, he is now completely relaxed.

The team members went crazy all night, slept on the bed until the sun was high the next day, and then returned to Brooklyn with Tang Tian.

Fans in New York can't wait for them to go back.

Tens of thousands of people gathered on the streets of Brooklyn last night, and fireworks and lights lit up the city.

When the plane landed, there was already a dense crowd outside the airport, shouting the slogan of the champion and the names of the players.

This is the second championship in the history of the Nets, and unlike before, it has only been two years since they won the championship last time.

With two championships in three years, the Nets, as an upstart in New York, have really risen.

Tang Tian took photos with his team members and fans to sign autographs, but it didn't last long.

On the one hand, it was because last night was really tiring, and on the other hand, tomorrow is the championship parade, and the players also need to recharge their batteries.

After leaving the airport, the team members went back to the hotel to rest.

Tang Tian was also in the hotel room, listening to Jones talk about some arrangements for the championship parade.

This was Tang Tian's ninth time participating in the championship parade, and he was already very familiar with most of the process.

However, what is different this year from the past is that it is also to increase the freshness of the parade. This time the championship parade has a section on the water. The fans on the shore waved and interacted.

This is also the first time in NBA history that a water parade has been involved.

This plan has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it has never been done before. It can attract attention with gimmicks, and it also allows players and fans to have a new experience. The disadvantage is that after all, the players and fans are on the boat and the other is on the shore, and they cannot interact with each other at zero distance. .

But overall worth trying.

"If the effect is not good this time, you can change it next time." Tang Tian said with a smile.

After finalizing the parade plan, Tang Tianzhi left Jones, and then leaned on the sofa to rest.

The job of the head coach is really tiring. He hasn't reached his 30s yet, and he felt a little lack of energy after staying up all night last night.

The streets of Brooklyn on the second day were crowded with people. After they couldn't see the regret of the players winning the championship at home, fans in New York would never miss the championship parade after winning the championship.

Irving was holding the championship trophy in his hand, George was holding a big cigar in his mouth, Wade puffed his cheeks and waved to the fans on the other side of the car.

This is their real moment of celebration.

After criss-crossing Brooklyn's main street, the parade boarded the championship cruiser to the cheers of fans at the pier.

The fans on the shore looked extremely excited.

As expected, fans were also excited about the unprecedented celebration.

There is a sidewalk on the shore, and it is already crowded with people at this time.

The boat sailed away from the pier and slowly went up along the shore. The team members waved and interacted with the fans on the side of the boat, and the fans kept screaming and cheering on the shore.

If it weren't for the police and security guards at the front, it is estimated that many people would jump into the river and swim here.

"I feel like I'm in Venice on the water." George turned his head and said to Owen at this time.

"Yes, this is special." Owen said with a laugh.

Venice is known as the city of water, the river passes through the city, and taking a boat across the city is a major tourist item in the local area. They experienced it on the East River in New York.

Tang Tian smiled after hearing this.

It seems that this plan is not bad, fans and players like it very much.

The steamboat went up along the shore of Brooklyn, and then down from the Manhattan side. During the whole trip, the fans on both sides of the bank, including the Manhattan Bridge, cheered all the way. It was like pulling a huge road between the two cities. the bond.

The boat landed in Manhattan Harbor, they boarded the new parade bus, and then began the Manhattan section of the parade.

The Nets winning the championship is not only the pride of the fans in Brooklyn, but also the whole of New York. Fans in midtown Manhattan can't see the Knicks winning the championship, so they will naturally celebrate the Nets winning the championship.

The entire parade lasted the entire morning, and New York fans were more excited than ever.

After finally returning outside the Barclays Center arena, Tang Tian also delivered a speech for winning the championship.

"This was the real beginning of an era."

Irving is 26 years old, George is 28 years old, Butler is 29 years old, Jokic is 23 years old, and Mitchell is 22 years old. Although they cannot all stay in the Nets in the future, as long as there are three of them, the Nets will always be there. It will be the favorite to win the championship. Coupled with Tang Tian's draft vision and good enough role players, this is different from when he won the championship two years ago. It will really be the beginning of an era.

After the championship parade was over, Tang Tian rested at home for two days.

Accompanying his wife and children, for him, this is a rare time after the end of the season.

But soon, he and Jones appeared in the office of the arena again.

The 2018 draft is about to start, and he has to find a candidate with Jones.

This year is also the year of the draft. DeAndre Ayton, who is scheduled to be the No. 1 pick, is known as a player who can directly become a cornerstone, just like Anthony Davis at the beginning.

In addition to Ayton, the small forward Luka Doncic from Slovenia dominated the European arena at the age of 18. He is known as the strongest European player in history and has also made many managements eager to move.

In addition, Marvin Bagley III, Jalen Jackson Jr., Mohamed Bamba, Trey Young, etc. are all talented rookies, and they are also the targets of the management of each team.

Tang Tian naturally also had a target person.

This year, the Nets have two first-round picks and one second-round pick, one is their own 30th pick in the first round, and the other is the first-round pick traded from the Nuggets before .

The pick of the Nuggets has also been determined in the previous lottery. It is the 14th pick, which happens to be the last lottery.
