Chapter 480: The championship parade
, the fastest update NBA: the latest chapter of the No. 1 forward!
Two days later, the Knicks' championship parade began at New York's Madison Gardens.
At the gate of Madison Square Garden, rows of convoys participating in the championship parade are waiting for orders.
The scale of the championship parade was so large that even the mayor of New York City attached great importance to it. He not only sent a large number of guards to maintain order, but also sent many police cars to open the way.
The police car in front opened the way, followed by a long queue of double-decker buses.
In order to show the scale of the championship parade, James Dolan not only allows all Knicks players and staff to participate, but also stipulates that family members can participate, so the scale is very shocking.
Behind the double-decker bus are several more police cars.
In total, the convoy of the championship parade included a total of 60 large and small vehicles. When you look at it, you can't see the rear from the front of the car.
New York fans who had just been crazy on the night of winning the championship rushed to the streets of New York.
In the hot summer, under the hot sun, it did not affect the enthusiasm of the fans at all. On the contrary, under the hot sun, the fans became more hot.
The entire New York City was once again deserted, and the scene was quite frenzied.
Since it is summer, many female fans wear extra cool clothes.
Then they discovered that there are so many female fans of the New York Knicks.
There are many mountains and turbulent waves, showing a unique landscape.
"I have never seen so many fans, such a big formation, it is estimated that there will be millions of people!"
Stoudemire stood on the double-decker bus, dumbfounded in shock.
Looking far away, all of them were Knicks fans wearing white jerseys. Under the ups and downs, it seemed that layers of white waves swept in.
Lian Dao couldn't help but swallowed. He had participated in the USC NCAA championship parade before, and he felt that even if the scale of this championship parade was large, it would not be much larger than the USC NCAA championship parade.
But Lian Dao found out that he was really wrong. He had far underestimated the base of Knicks fans. There were too many of them.
Lian Dao's estimate of the millions of people Stoudemire mentioned is just a conservative estimate.
After 38 years of waiting and anticipation, New York City has really ushered in this glorious moment. The enthusiasm of the fans is beyond everyone's imagination.
There are about 8 million people in New York, and one-third of them took to the streets on the day of the championship parade, not including some Knicks fans who came from other cities, and they even flew to New York to participate in the parade .
If these fans are added, there will only be more fans in the championship parade, which is estimated to be around 3 million.
The parade started at 11 o'clock that day. As early as 8 or 9 o'clock, the traffic in the entire New York City center and Midtown Manhattan was paralyzed. Except for the parade vehicles, only some large-scale traffic in the subway could run.

As early as more than ten hours ago, the places on the parade route were already occupied. This is even crazier than queuing up overnight to grab an iPhone!
At the very least, snatching an iPhone won’t cost money to grab a spot, but in the Knicks’ championship parade, some people even spent dozens or even hundreds of dollars just to squeeze into the crowd and take a closer look at their city heroes.
New Yorkers have never been so proud of basketball.
It has been too long since they won the championship last time, so long that some fans have not been born yet, so many fans have no impression of the last championship. They only know that the Knicks occupy the largest market, but their record has always been at the bottom of the league.
In the past, some Knicks fans were ridiculed for being stupid and rich. This title has gradually spread from James Dolan to Knicks fans.
Therefore, the significance of the Knicks' championship this time has surpassed the boundaries of basketball. It directly washed away the humiliation of the fans.
It can be said that this is a prosperous age that makes all New Yorkers stand up straight and feel proud.
The car moved slowly, and Lian Dao, holding the O'Brien Cup, also drove into the crowd.
Lian Dao and O'Brien Cup were on the bus at the front of the convoy.
The entire bus is painted white, and some corners are outlined with blue and orange red lines, which is very characteristic of Knicks.
On the top of the front of the bus is the big LOGO icon of the Knicks; on the body, there is a big "champion" printed on it.
With the appearance of Lian Dao's figure, it immediately aroused wild cheers from the surrounding fans.
The older generation of New Yorkers sighed that they could see the grand occasion of the team winning the championship again in their lifetime. With tears in their eyes, they cheered passionately for the Knicks' revival.
Everyone waved, cheered, and shouted at the fans. Stoudemire even took out a water gun from under the seat and sprayed it at the fans. This guy can always come up with some weird things.
The water column was sprayed among the fans, which made the fans more excited as they exclaimed, and also brought a little coolness to the fans in the hot summer.
If you want to say that the star who is most popular and loved by fans, there is no doubt that it will be Lian Dao.
It's not just the overwhelming No. 1 jersey on the scene.
There is also Lian Dao's historical status in New York, double first team + MVP + FMVP + scoring leader + three-pointer leader, Lian Dao is definitely the greatest basketball superstar in Knicks history.
"God of War!"
Wherever Lian Dao passed by, there would be neat cheers and shouts.
This is not the first time I heard this kind of shouting, but there is a difference between the shouting of 20,000 people and the shouting of a million people.
Millions of people shouted "God of War" in unison. Lian Dao must admit that he was shocked.
At this moment, he felt as if winning was not a championship, but more like conquering the world by breaking new ground.
At this moment, this feeling made Lian Dao feel like a dream, deeply immersed in it.
…
Los Angeles, training hall!
Kobe looked at the envious and eager light in Chris Paul's eyes, and Kobe smiled with satisfaction.
They were watching the Knicks' championship parade live.
Kobe has experienced this kind of scene many times, and he has long been used to it, but Paul is different. He has never touched the floor of the Western Conference Finals so far, let alone the Finals.
At this time, seeing the Knicks' championship parade, for Paul, there was also endless yearning among the shock. He also wanted to be like Lian Dao, holding the O'Brien Cup and being worshiped by millions of people. He also wanted to hold it with his own hands. Pick up the O'Brien Cup.
"How about it, Paul, are you both shocked and yearning?" Kobe said calmly.
"Hmm!" Chris Paul swallowed and nodded.
"Is it like this when the Lakers won the championship?" Chris Paul pointed to the live screen and looked at Kobe.
"Of course, we are even more shocking than them. The Knicks only won the championship once. You must know that we have won three consecutive championships and two consecutive championships. Of course, the background is not comparable to the Knicks!" Kobe leaked A proud gesture.
"Do you know about city branding?" Bryant asked.
"Well, I know, just like you are the city brand of Los Angeles, when you think of Los Angeles, you will think of the Lakers, and you will think of you!" Paul said.
"Yes, that's right."
Paul's words made Kobe very useful. Anyone likes to be praised, especially the praise of the strong.
"But I am 33 years old, but you are still young, as long as you come to Los Angeles, you can get everything you see in Los Angeles!"
Kobe pointed to the live broadcast, and Lian Dao laughed and interacted with the fans holding the championship trophy.
"Well, you are right, Kobe, I really want to taste the taste of the championship, it is so tempting!" Chris Paul said, licking his lips as if eating a cream cake~ www.mtlnovel.com~ That's right, buddy, the two of us join forces, and the championship is definitely within reach! "
Kobe knows that his partner next season will never run again, and they can finally get rid of the weak label of No. 1 position, Chris + himself + Artest, plus Gasol and Bynum.
Kobe seemed to have seen the championship trophy and waved to himself again.
"Boy, next season, you just wait to be slaughtered by us!"
Kobe looked at the smiling Lian Dao on the live broadcast screen, and in his heart he had already declared Lian Dao's death sentence.
Of course Kobe, who is narrow-minded, will not forget that after Lian Dao won the championship two days ago, he called to show off his pride to himself.
And the next meeting between these two people, the degree of popularity can be imagined.
