Chapter 168 Victory Parade

The next morning, the Spurs players gathered on the river for the championship parade and boarded the small boats.

They were really small boats.

Only a little over three meters wide and less than ten meters long.

Because the San Antonio River wasn't big, these boats were considered economical and practical.

The players began to board the boats one after another.

Popovich was on the first boat, surrounded by the team's coaching staff and management.

The second boat was occupied by Duncan, with Green and Leonard alongside him.

Ginobili was on the third boat, with Tang Tian.

Diaw was originally supposed to be with Parker on the boat behind, but after seeing Tang Tian's Dior sunglasses, he got so excited that he squeezed onto their boat.

With the players gradually boarding, the unprecedented boat parade officially began.

Most of the riverbanks were streets, already densely packed with people.

According to the staff, about 100,000 people attended this year's championship parade.

Besides the fans standing along the streets, there was a gathering place at every turn.

And outside the AT&T Center, the final destination, most of the fans were gathered there.

The whole city had really turned out, leaving the streets empty.

The boat moved very slowly, and as it moved forward, the cheers and whistles from the audience on both sides were overwhelming.

This was the real carnival moment after the Spurs won the championship.

All the way, Tang Tian saw too many faces, and he reached out and greeted the audience.

Familiar braided bracelets and cool sunglasses.

Tang Tian quickly became the focus of many fans, especially many female fans.

"Tang, I love you!"

"Tang, give me your contact information!"

"Tang, I can spend the night with you!"

...

America is really open!

Tang Tian used to be the head coach, with authority, but now that he was a player, these people were really unrestrained!

Was he that kind of person?

The boat continued to meander forward.

Tang Tian suddenly felt that this boat parade was really good. If it were a normal street parade, wouldn't he be taken advantage of by these women?

Maybe even get a stolen kiss!

That would be too bad.

The boat continued forward, and soon reached a bend in the river, where a crowd of fans had gathered.

There were many temporary benches set up, and at least a thousand people were sitting on a small hill.

The more people, the merrier; that's what a parade was all about.

There was a stage there, and the boats would stop there for a while at intervals.

And in front of that corner was a stone bridge.

This gave it a sense of ceremony, as if moving from behind the scenes to the stage.

These details were all carefully designed.

When Popovich's boat, the first one, appeared, there was a burst of neat cheers.

Popovich looked at the audience with a smile, but instead of waving immediately, he suddenly raised his left hand and made a counting gesture.

The first finger.

The second finger.

When he counted to the third finger, Popovich reached out and glanced at the championship trophy next to him.

The audience all knew what he was doing.

Old Man Pop was counting the team's championships!

Fourth.

When Popovich put up his fifth finger and revealed a look of sudden realization, all the fans laughed.

Popovich was being sly!

After Popovich, Duncan's boat also passed through the stone bridge.

"MVP! MVP!"

Cheers from the fans came spontaneously from the shore.

Duncan got up from the boat and waved to the fans.

After the boat docked, the host said an opening remark and handed the microphone to him.

Duncan's voice was actually very youthful. People who didn't know him well would be surprised when he spoke.

He didn't say much, but in the end, he led the fans in chanting the Spurs' slogan.

"Go, Spurs, go!"

"San Antonio!"

The atmosphere was pushed to a climax.

But this climax had obviously not reached its peak yet.

When Ginobili's boat came over, the cheers were even louder than before.

These parade activities were all about the atmosphere.

Ginobili was flashy, Diaw was wild, and Tang Tian was handsome.

It was a flashy, wild, and handsome combination.

The host felt the fans' enthusiasm, and his voice was much louder than before when he spoke.

"What have you been doing for the past three days, Manu?"

The host said, handing the microphone to Ginobili.

"Yes, these three days, I've been eating, sleeping, and watching soccer games."

These words instantly made the audience laugh.

So, Ginobili didn't have any excited emotions after winning the championship!

"That's it?" the host asked.

"That's it, oh, no, wait, there's more. Pete, my old dog, went to meet a neighbor's little female dog for a blind date."

After he said that, Tang Tian couldn't help but laugh behind him.

He had mentioned in an interview before that Ginobili's old dog had taken a liking to the neighbor's female dog and was looking for a second spring.

He didn't expect Ginobili to actually go!

The most deadly thing was to show off without showing off, and the real flashiness was to be flashy without revealing it!

"Oh! Our key man, Godfather!"

After taking back the microphone, the host turned his attention to Tang Tian, using his nickname and dragging out the syllables.

"You wouldn't want me to use the nickname Tang Ritian."

The host was also in the mood, and his words started to get cheeky.

The audience burst into laughter.

Tang Tian had explicitly rejected the nickname Tang Ritian.

"Yes, I don't like it, but except for today."

Tang Tian rarely didn't resist.

There was a burst of whistles from the crowd.

"You're wearing sunglasses?"

The parade outfits were uniform, with the Spurs' championship logo printed on them, even the hats were uniform.

There were many fans at this occasion, and many endorsement companies wanted to make a splash.

But the team was prohibited from doing so, so it could only be in other areas.

That's why Diaw chose to make Tang Tian the global spokesperson for their sunglasses at this time.

"Yes, these are Boris Diaw sunglasses."

Tang Tian said.

"What?!"

These words attracted the attention of the host and everyone in the audience.

Diaw was standing behind Tang Tian!

"Oh, no, not Boris, Christian Dior, they're both French."

After he said that, the host wanted to give Tang Tian a big thumbs up.

Seamlessly inserted advertising!

A conscientious spokesperson.

Dior company was making a killing with this.

"Oh, we all know that you hit game-winning shots in three games. Can you share with us what it feels like after you make them?"

The host continued to ask.

"Yes, it's like holding it in for an hour and finally finding a toilet."

"Of course, not after falling asleep at night."

After Tang Tian said that, the fans on the shore burst out laughing.

Tang Tian and Ginobili were both flashy, one better than the other!
