Chapter 744 What the champion should do (9/10)
After the NBA team wins the championship, they need to do two very important things. The first is parading the streets and the second is getting the opportunity to meet with the president of the White House.
The parade here is completely different from the ancient Chinese parade. Although it is also in the car, the scene with a crowded street is an opportunity for many fans to witness the city heroes at close range.
One week after winning the championship, Tang Shuai and his teammates celebrated a crazy week in the stadium, and then they boarded the convertible bus with their teammates and started parading.
Because the citizens had received the notice in advance, they all gathered on the street now, and the police in Los Angeles maintained the treatment early.
Because guns are legal, the United States is often a country that is not very safe, and it will hear about shootings from time to time. However, there are exceptions, such as during large-scale events, during festivals like Halloween and Christmas, it is still very safe, and the parades in front of you also fall into this category.
After Tang Shuai entered the league, he became famous, and his fans increased day by day. When he attended an event recently, the scene of thousands of fans surrounded him.
But compared with the scene in front of you, it is not the same concept at all.
The car starts from Staples Center and drives on a fixed route.
On this section of the road, except for the middle lane, the rest of the other places were densely packed with people. The fans held their phones high. Although they were congested and only looked at a convertible full of stars, there was no trace of fatigue or complaint. It was worth doing anything at this moment.
"Tang!Tang!"
When the car drove forward, the most shouts were heard at the players, and among these shouts, Tang Shuai was obviously the most.
Tang Shuai and his teammates kept waving to the fans, trying hard to pose for them to take photos.
"Hey, Russell, your clothes are really fashionable today." Cousins couldn't help but laugh.
“Your plaid shirt is not bad either.”
“Haha~”
In the convertible, you can hear the players' jokes from time to time.
The car stopped after driving forward for a while. After the players reached a fixed point, they needed to get off the car and interact with the fans.
Storytelling interactions are limited, after all, there are many people, and if the scene gets out of control, it will be very dangerous.
Westbrook was ready, so he took out his super selfie stick and ran to a group of fans. He leaned back slightly, and then started the selfie of the fans.
"Mom, this kid is ready!" Cousins couldn't help but smile and curse when he saw Westbrook's actions.
"DeMarcus, look at me." Stephenson walked over at this time, held the selfie stick and pressed the video recording function, then grabbed the phone and started to move quickly. With a second shot of video, all the fans were taken into the camera.
"Haha, your trick is still useful." Cousins slapped his thigh and then began to imitate.
Tang Shuai looked at the teammates playing behind him, couldn't help but smile and shake his head, and then took photos with the fans while walking.
At this moment, a small episode happened. While he was taking pictures, a beautiful woman rushed out of the gap between the police. When Tang Shuai was caught off guard, Qin Qin gushed his face.
The beauty's face turned red after kissing.
A policeman came over there and wanted to pull her back.
"Hey, beauty, I'll be able to kneel on the washboard when I go back." Tang Shuai said with a wry smile.
Of course, the beauty couldn't understand, but she obviously didn't have time to understand. She was so confused that she was invited back to the team for a long time.
After parading all the way, although the things done in every place were similar, it took them nearly half a day to leave early in the morning and end until 12 noon.
However, although the players were tired, they were still in high spirits. After all, this kind of parade was also an honor, and not every player had the chance to get it.
After parading, the players made a brief adjustment for two days and then went to Washington led by the team staff.
There are two most famous buildings in the United States, one is the Pentagon, which is the most important core of the operation of the United States, and the other is the White House. This is more of a symbol, which expresses the image of the United States.
The White House is the place where the US president works and lives. Its name originates from the 1980s. At the Third British and American War, the British occupied Washington, USA and burned the "Presidential Building" of the United States with fire. Just like what they did to the Old Summer Palace in China, the Americans later in order to cover up the traces of the burning, President Monroe ordered the paint of a layer of white paint on the gray sand and stones, and the name of the White House came from this.
Shuai Tang and his teammates went to Washington today to go to the United States to meet President Plant.
Unlike in China, winning the NBA championship can get the opportunity to meet the president, which is obviously a privilege.
Tang Shuai and his teammates got off at the White House, which attracted the curiosity of many White House tourists.
The White House is open to the public on weekdays, which has also brought the enthusiasm between the US president and the people.
Of course, being able to enter the White House does not mean that you can meet the president. You should know that the president always takes helicopters to travel, and the White House naturally has its open and non-open areas.
Tang Shuai and his teammates went to the open area.
After other tourists were invited out of this special area, US President Plunt finally appeared in their sight.
Plant is the 45th president of the United States. Compared with his predecessor, O'Bama, this is a tougher president. The military operations launched in two years have exceeded the total of eight years of *******'s total. The i.s.i.s.extreme. organization has also destroyed his attacks.
Of course, politics is politics and sports is sports. For Tang Shuai, he doesn't care who the US president is, anyone is the same anyway.
"Hey, our champions, welcome you!" After Plunt came over, he laughed and opened his arms at them, showing his passionate demeanor.
Plant is indeed extremely energetic. After hugging Billups, he shook hands with his teammates one by one.
"I know you, the Chinese who scored 82 points, you are really amazing. I am your fan. I will teach me how to play in the future if I have the chance." After shaking hands with Tang Shuai, Plante hugged him for an extra time, and said to him in a low voice.
On the night he scored 82 points, he also saw Plunt's remarks. He didn't care much at the time. He didn't expect that Plunt, like his ex O'Bama, was a basketball enthusiast.
A very important part of the White House visit is taking photos with the president. When ranking, he and Billups were on the left and right, which also showed his status in the team.
After the photographer took this photo, his footprints finally jumped out of the league. The painting will remain in the Staples Center Arena, along with many previous photos.
