"What? You want me to be the flag bearer of the Chinese delegation at the opening ceremony?" Chen Yan asked in surprise on the phone.
He was woken up by a phone call from Dayao early in the morning.
"You are the most suitable among all athletes, from height to image, from influence to honor, you have to perform well!" Dayao said with a smile.
"Why didn't anyone notify me?" Chen Yan asked.
"Brother is well-informed. There can be no mistake. Officials will inform you in a few days." Dayao said.
"Oh, okay, Brother Yao, let's do this first. I'll hang up first." Chen Yan said.
"What's the matter? It's so urgent." Dayao asked.
"Champions Parade!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was only a beep on the other end of the phone.
Dayao shook his head and smiled at first, then a feeling of sadness came into his heart.
When can I participate in my own championship parade?
The parade was originally scheduled for a week later, but the Knicks took care of Chen Yan and moved it forward.
Chen Yan will return to China to participate in the training camp of the national team in preparation for the upcoming London Olympics.
Dolan originally wanted to have a super luxurious championship parade ceremony, but now he can only have a hasty one.
But even if it was done in a hurry, the scene was still bigger than when the Suns won the championship a few years ago.
The boss of the Suns is so stingy that half of the money for the championship parade comes from the local government.
Although Knicks owner Dolan is not a good business guy, at least he has never been stingy when it comes to spending money.
Millions of fans spontaneously took to the streets, and almost all New York police officers were deployed to ensure smooth traffic and protect personnel safety.
Two police cars carrying national flags led the way, followed by the band and then the motorcade.
Chen Yan and his teammates were cheered by fans in downtown Manhattan.
Curry was very excited, jumping up and down.
"This kid looks very excited." Barea pointed at Curry.
Chen Yan smiled: "He will get used to it if he experiences it a few more times."
During the parade, Knicks players continued to interact with fans. Although the temperature was very high, the players felt very happy.
Chen Yan also kept showing his FMVP trophy to the fans. On this day, the whole "Apple City" was excited!
The popularity of the Yankees and Giants was completely suppressed by the Knicks. This is the first time in more than ten years!
All New Yorkers are crazy about the Knicks today.
An hour and a half later, the motorcade slowly drove into Madison Garden.
This is the scene of the championship celebration.
The mayor of New York was also present. He thanked all the Knicks players for bringing the O'Brien Cup back to New York. This is a day worth remembering for New York.
Next, the Knicks' owners, management, coaching staff and players took the stage one by one to express their thoughts.
Everyone told interesting stories about training and competition, and there was constant applause and laughter.
When Chen Yan came on the stage, everyone shouted "mvp"!
Chen Yan is wearing a very special outfit today. He is wearing a Knicks jersey No. 72, with Nelson's name printed on the back of the jersey.
The number 72 represents Nelson's age. He is 72 years old this year.
"Thank you, thank you New York, I love it here."
As soon as Chen Yan spoke his first words, the atmosphere at the scene exploded.
"mvp!"
"mvp!"
"mvp!"
The fans shouted MVP in unison again, not giving Chen Yan a chance to speak.
Chen Yan could only put down the microphone and wait for the sound to decrease.
The noise finally subsided. Boss Dolan walked up to Chen Yan again and picked up the microphone in his hand: "I am just like you. I love this special guy just like you. I promise you that after Chen Yan retires, , I will build a statue of him in front of the arena, the largest statue in the league."
As soon as Dolan said this, the scene boiled over again.
Chen Yan stood on the stage for about 10 minutes before saying his second sentence.
"I will lead the team to keep winning, and I will build a dynasty here. This championship is just the beginning!"
The cheers started again, and finally Chen Yan said something about Nelson: "I would like to especially thank our coach, Don Nelson! He is a great coach, he is a kind coach, Many people say that I am the cornerstone of this team, but what I want to say is that he is. He injects new ideas into the team, he makes every player maintain confidence, and he gives all of us unlimited trust. , thank you, coach, and hope you enjoy your retirement career."
After Chen Yan finished speaking, he handed the microphone to Nelson. The team originally arranged for Chen Yan to give the final speech tonight, but he insisted on letting Nelson be the last one.
This is the respect Chen Yan gives to the veteran coach.
The championship celebration ended with Nelson's speech. When he left, the old coach was in tears. Everyone said that New York was cold, but here he felt the warmth and respect.
After the championship ceremony, the management found Chen Yan and chatted for a while about signings and head coaching issues.
Chen Yan said that just keep the original team that won the championship, the small forwards can be strengthened appropriately, and other positions can be left to chance.
Regarding the candidate for the new head coach, Chen Yan strongly recommends D'Antoni.
Two reasons, the first is because of familiarity, and the second is because D'Antoni's playing style is similar to Nelson, and players adapt quickly.
……
……
The next day, Chen Yan and Arab League flew to Guangzhou, where the Chinese men's basketball team will train to prepare for the Olympics.
Chen Yan and Ah Lian returned home in a low-key manner. They did not want to cause too much of a sensation, but the airport was still crowded.
Chinese fans are always so resourceful.
UAE got off the plane first, and he was chased and intercepted by the fans.
Ah Lian had an idea and pointed behind him: "Chen Yan is behind."
The fans all rushed to the back, and the Arab League took the opportunity to run away.
Later, Chen Yan was in pain. Swifty also came to Guangzhou with Chen Yan this time, so a large number of fans came to the scene.
It took nearly half an hour to get out of the airport under the protection of security personnel.
At the press conference the next day, Chen Yan complained about this incident in public. He said: "UAE abandoned me. He left me alone at the airport and went home to take a shower and sleep. The most disgusting thing is that he deliberately Take a photo of him wearing a bathrobe and send it to me. He is a trustworthy teammate in the game, but he is definitely a super bad friend in life."
After Chen Yan finished speaking, everyone laughed.
Dayao held a microphone next to him and smiled: "Ah Lian, you have to be careful, you have offended our number one star and new leader."
Although Dayao was joking, he said what he was thinking. He felt that this was his last Olympics and it was time to hand the baton to Chen Yan.
On the first day of training, Chen Yan greeted everyone.
Most are old acquaintances, with a few new faces.
Ah Lian, Sun Dasheng, Liu 5, Dayao, Da Zhi, Zhu 8, Yi Li, Wang 7, Ding Jinhui, Xiao Guo, Zhou Peng.
Among them, Xiao Guo is the most excited. He is a big fan of Chen Yan. The two met a few years ago and Chen Yan even gave him advice.
"I remember you, Allen, let me see if your dribbling has improved in the training match later." Chen Yan said to Xiao Guo with a smile.
"Brother Yan, you still remember me. I practice according to your instructions every day. Now my ball control skills are getting better. Don't let me knock you down later." Xiao Guo said carelessly.
"Very good. The young man is very impressive. I like it." Chen Yan patted Xiao Guo on the shoulder.
At the beginning of the training match, Chen Yan intercepted Xiao Guo twice in the backcourt, showing his NBA steals king level.
Xiao Guo made 5 mistakes in 7 minutes of play and was blocked by Chen Yan.
Chen Yan staged a national team version of his basketball dream in the training match.
The teammates laughed wildly when they saw Allen's confused expression.
However, Xiao Guo's confidence was not destroyed by Chen Yan. After the training match, he took the initiative to challenge Chen Yan for a duel. This was a rare opportunity for him to ask for advice.
Yunus looked on and nodded repeatedly. Xiao Guo was a highly motivated kid. He brought Xiao Guo here just to let him adapt to the atmosphere of the competition and learn something from Chen Yan.
The head coach of this Chinese men's basketball team is still Yunus. Yunus has stayed with this team since making history in 2008. The existence of Chen Yan allows him to see unlimited possibilities. Yunus is an ambitious head coach. He wants to further make history.
Just like Yunus said at yesterday's press conference, when reporters asked him what it means for Chen Yan to come back, he replied calmly: "It means that our best player is here."
He was woken up by a phone call from Dayao early in the morning.
"You are the most suitable among all athletes, from height to image, from influence to honor, you have to perform well!" Dayao said with a smile.
"Why didn't anyone notify me?" Chen Yan asked.
