Speaking of which, in order to prepare for the 2008 Olympics, the Asian Basketball Association sent a second team to participate in this year's Asian Championships.

So, for once, Wayne has no national team duties this summer.

This is actually good, as the Asian Championships really have nothing to do now.

If you can't earn points, your popularity won't increase much.

Moreover, no one dares to fight with Wayne...

Therefore, Wayne really has no desire to play in the Asian Championships.

You can take advantage of the fact that there is no national team duty this summer and organize the summer training camp!

Last summer, Wayne held a short training camp. Although it was not long, it was of high quality.

Well, it would be perfect if we didn't get up early every morning to have one-on-one time with Kobe...

Although it allowed Wayne to get the "Kobe Bryant fade" that showed off his magic in this year's Western Conference Finals, it was really annoying, and Wayne almost had to sleep in the arena.

There is no international competition duty this year, so Wayne can rest assured and rack up points like crazy in the training camp.

With Wayne's current prestige, as long as they are not enemies with him, most of the stars should be able to invite him.

Thinking of this, Wayne was a little eager to give it a try.

"Wait!" Wayne looked at his hands. Why the hell did I just finish the finals yesterday and I'm already thinking about the summer training camp?

How come he looks more and more like that pervert Kobe!

Gan!

After getting up, Wayne looked through the window at the streets of Cleveland.

Workers have been removing huge posters of the finals all over the streets, and there are no fanatic fans wearing No. 23 jerseys on the streets.

The whole city has returned to a state of decline.

But Wayne didn't feel heartbroken. As much as Cleveland is declining at this time, Portland will be so lively!

At this time, Wayne's phone rang. It was his agent Schwartz.

Yes, once the season ends every year, Schwartz’s busiest time comes.

Last summer, he was extremely busy with Wayne's transfer.

And this summer, he will be very busy with money matters.

"Nike hopes to renew your contract as soon as possible. I have an appointment after the championship parade. Is that okay?"

"No problem, I also want to finalize the business contract as soon as possible."

"By the way, in addition to Nike, I have many contracts here waiting for you to sign. You are now a hot superstar, Wei. There are many commercial contracts in both China and the United States waiting for your reply.

It can be said that just relying on the income from commercial contracts, you can live a comfortable life even if you don't play."

Schwartz told Wayne this without hesitation, because he knew that Wayne was not the kind of person who would relax when he had money.

"Looks like it's going to be another busy summer."

"Yes, busy summer."

"Okay, then in June, we will finalize all the commercial contracts. Then, we will make arrangements for the rest of the summer."

After hanging up the phone, Wayne looked at the sun in the distance and smiled.

This summer will definitely be colorful and exciting.

In the afternoon, the Trail Blazers players arrived in Portland with the O'Brien Trophy.

Just as Wayne imagined, almost half of Portland took to the streets.

When they won the championship for the first time, although Wayne was the Finals MVP, the hero in the hearts of Pacers fans was Reggie Miller.

And this time, Wayne finally enjoyed the feeling of being a hero.

When he walked out of the plane with the O'Brien Trophy in his left hand and the FMVP trophy in his right hand, Wayne felt like everyone in Portland was cheering for him.

"Wayne came out, and I can't hear anything except the buzzing shouts in my ears now!

A year ago, the Trail Blazers were still a lottery team with no hope. But now, Wei has carried the championship trophy to the Rose Garden!

He is now the most popular person in Portland!"

The reporters on the scene yelled and wrote in front of the camera.

Wayne raised the two trophies high and looked at the dark crowd below. To be honest, he felt quite shocked.

At this time, the originally chaotic shouts were unified into one word - King.

Portland fans are just about to go up and put the crown on Wayne's head.

He became the true king of the city!

James: Then what kind of king am I...

When Wayne returned to the arena holding the championship trophy, a TV station's helicopter broadcast the entire process live.

Along the way, apart from people, there are still people.

Although Portland fans are not as passionate about basketball as Indianapolis.

But the fan population is still large enough.

Now that things are like this, how can we still hold a championship parade?!

It's really amazing.

Paul Allen's championship parade plan is nothing short of extravagant.

I remember when the Pacers held the championship parade, they accepted funding from the city government.

This year, the Portland city government also wanted to sponsor the project, but Paul Allen politely declined.

On the surface, he declined politely, but in fact, Allen's inner voice said: "You should keep the little money you have for your own entertainment."

In addition to the regular celebration around the city, Allen's championship parade also invited a fleet of aircraft to perform throughout the process.

In addition, he is also planning to give the players a surprise at the end of the parade - the team's exclusive plane.

Yes, he also followed Cuban's example and directly bought a plane for the players.

In this way, the aircraft can be modified according to the needs of the players, and their long legs no longer have to worry about having nowhere to put them.

In addition to the plane, Allen also bought a yacht for the players to use when celebrating in the evening.

I have no choice but to pamper the players.

The uncle won the championship, so happy!

Therefore, the assets of the municipal government are not enough to fill the gap between teeth.

It’s okay not to!

When Wayne placed the championship trophy on display in the Rose Garden, he felt a sense of accomplishment.

This trophy is the second championship trophy in the Trail Blazers showroom.

The last one was already in 1977.

This is why the Trail Blazers are so lucky to have a trophy in the showroom.

Because before 1977, the NBA championship trophy was held on a rotating basis.

This year's championship team can only have the trophy for one year. If another team wins the championship the second year, they will have to give the trophy to someone else. It's fucked up.

Starting in 1977, the NBA changed the championship trophy from a rotating ownership system to a permanent ownership system.

The Trail Blazers were the first team to try something new.

However, even so, 1977 was already a long, long time ago.

In the 30 years since then, no one from the Trail Blazers has been able to lead the team to a championship.

Wayne was the first after Bill Walton.

Therefore, this gave Wayne a feeling of "this is really my team."

No matter how great you are with the Celtics, there is Bird, Auerbach, and Russell in front of you.

No matter how great you are with the Lakers, you still have Shaq, West, and Maggie in front of you.

But in Portland, there was almost no one in front of Wayne!

Bill Walton is too old and doesn't have many honors.

Drexler simply failed to lead his team to win the championship.

Wayne will have the opportunity to write the history of this team with his own hands and become the greatest player on this team.

Well, Wayne has no interest in being an urban hero to the American people.

But if the boss is willing and the management is dedicated to their responsibilities.

Well, Wayne is still very willing to have a team of his own.
