Double-decker buses, empty streets, talking to the mayor, being worshiped by thousands of people in Dallas...

Just three days after the Mavericks won the championship, Cuban spent millions of dollars to hold a championship parade in Dallas.

The scale of this parade was twice as large as that of 2011, with seven double-decker buses alone used. The parade almost circled the main city of Dallas, and the entire parade lasted for a full 6 hours before finally ending.

This is not the first time Yiyang has experienced this scene personally. In his rookie season, he and the team were escorted to their destination in this way three years ago. However, this year the scene is even grander.

Fans wearing blue Mavericks jerseys or championship commemorative T-shirts crowded on both sides of the street, waving their arms and cheering and saluting the players on the bus.

The bus moves very slowly in the crowded streets. The blue extends from one side of the street to the other, covering the whole city!

Yiyang certainly lived up to the fans' expectations. Throughout the parade, he enthusiastically stood on the top of the bus and interacted with everyone.

The carnival finally ended with the speeches of the Mavericks players, and the last words Yiyang said in his speech made the fans seem even crazier than before!

"Some people say that winning the championship means the end, success. Success? The end? No, I have just started!"

This sentence made everyone full of endless daydreams about the future of the Mavericks. Fans are even looking forward to the emergence of a Mavericks dynasty.

After a day of carnival, the names of the Dallas Mavericks and Yiyang swept the world. Their influence has greatly exceeded the scope of Dallas and basketball.

The day after the parade, the latest issue of Time Magazine was released, and Yiyang became the fifth Chinese professional athlete to be honored to appear on the cover of Time Magazine.

"The future ruler of basketball?" In addition to Yiyang's photo, the magazine cover also included a questionable title.

He has won numerous honors within four years of entering the league, and what Yiyang has done now is unprecedented. What achievements can such a young player who is already able to dominate the league achieve in the future? No one knows. The argument of this cover article of "Times" is to discuss with everyone the possibility of Yiyang becoming the next basketball god.

The NBA season has ended, but people's attention to Yiyang has not diminished at all.

After the season ended, the Mavericks players did not leave Dallas immediately. Because a few days later, on June 19, Dirk would hold a large birthday party at his home in Dallas.

At that time, everyone from the Mavericks will be present, and of course, Dirk's old friends such as Jeter and Kidd will also be there.

On the afternoon of June 19, when Yiyang brought Vignali to Dirk's house, Dirk was holding a cigar in his hand and waved to Yiyang and Vignali.

Yiyang's attention was completely attracted by the cigar, because the cigar looked... it seemed familiar.

"Yeah, why are you here so late! Hey, beautiful lady, you are the focus of tonight!" Dirk bent down and kissed Vignali's back in a very gentlemanly manner. Of course, the German's right hand still holds the cigar up gracefully.

"Dirk, could this cigar be..."

"Don't you remember? In 2011, when we won the championship for the first time, you gave it to me at my birthday party. I said at the time that such a good cigar should be saved for the next championship! A good cigar, It needs to be aged for at least three years before it can be called a mature cigar. Unexpectedly, in just three years, we won the championship trophy again!" Dirk took a puff of the cigar proudly, like a gangster.

"Okay, the things we give you this time, to be precise, are things for your daughter. They can't be kept for three years." Yiyang said,

He winked at Vignali.

Vignali delivered a beautifully wrapped gift box to Dirk. "Happy birthday, Dirk."

"What is this? For my daughter?" Dirk was overjoyed. Although it was his birthday, this gift for his daughter made Dirk the most excited.

After Dirk opened the gift, he found two dresses. A pink princess dress is quite cute, naturally prepared for his daughter Malaka. But the size of the other skirt didn't look like it could be worn by his wife or daughter.

Seeing Dirk's confused expression, Yiyang smirked proudly. "This skirt is for you. It's a parent-child outfit for father and daughter. Do you like it?"

Vignali could hardly hold back her laughter. She really couldn't imagine the tall Dirk looking like him in a skirt.

"After you all leave today..." Dirk looked around and lowered his voice deliberately pretending to be mysterious. "My daughter and I will happily wear these two dresses!"

"Hey, Yi, when did you come?" At this moment, Dirk's wife Jessica walked from the house to the yard. In her arms, she was holding Malaca, who was less than one year old. The little girl, like Dirk, has beautiful blond hair. At this time, she was wearing the Mavericks' No. 41 jersey, of course, a mini version. This cute little jersey and beautiful little doll make Vignali instantly feel like a girl.

"My little princess, you grow up so fast!" Vignali walked directly towards the mother and daughter. Women are always irresistible to cute things.

After Vignali left, only Yiyang and Dirk were still standing together in the busy courtyard.

"Happy life, Dirk. He has a wife, a son, a championship and cigars." Yiyang smiled. Although Dirk has passed the golden age of his career, his life has not been affected by the increase in age. Becoming unhappy with age. On the contrary, I became happier.

In addition to career, off-field life is also a part of life, even a bigger part.

"Basketball is not everything in your life, kid. You can be happy as long as you want." Looking at the Italian girl happily teasing his little daughter, Dirk took a deep breath of his cigar thoughtfully.

"When are you going to marry her?"

"It's coming soon, Dirk, it's coming soon." This time, Yiyang did not shy away from the topic. It's been more than six months since Vignelie's father first proposed the idea last Christmas. Six months also allowed Yiyang to consider everything clearly.

Although his career is still long, he is currently considered successful. It's time to make your off-court life more complete.

In the month since Vignali came to live at Yiyang's house, the empty villa has become extremely lively. And this Italian girl and Wen Xue also got along very well, which strengthened Yiyang's idea.

"Almost? How long will it be?" Dirk asked again.

"This summer." Yiyang looked at Vignali's back and couldn't help but smile.

"This summer doesn't last long. Aren't you planning to prepare for the wedding? If you need help, I have friends in this field."

"No, Dirk, it's not about the wedding now. It's just that I haven't proposed to her yet." Yiyang scratched his head. How could a guy like him, who only knows how to fight besides playing basketball, understand the "complexity" of proposing? How to operate.

"Sure enough, when God closes one window for you, he will open another. God gave you low emotional intelligence, but made you have amazing football intelligence, hahahahaha."

Looking at Dirk's proud smile, Yiyang rolled his eyes at Nowitzki. "I'm an atheist, Dirk, and even God can't control me."

"Isn't it easy to propose? All you need is a beautiful ring, a romantic dinner and a woman who has fallen in love with you."

"But the ring..."

"Andre is involved in some jewelry business in Dallas. I think he will be able to recommend you some unique and exquisite diamond rings that women can't refuse!" Nowitzki thought of Iguodala first. , that guy may be the most business-savvy of all the Mavericks players. As soon as he arrived in Dallas last summer, Iguodala made a lot of investments locally. This also includes the jewelry industry.

"No, Andre can't get the ring I want. Only Mark can help me. He is communicating with the manufacturer about this in the past few days."

"Mark?" Nowitzki was stunned. Although Cuban was a businessman, he knew nothing about jewelry.

"That's right, Mark."

"What kind of ring do you want?" Nowitzki's appetite was whetted.

"Championship ring."

"Cough cough cough..." After listening to Yiyang's words, Dirk, who was smoking a cigar, choked.

"You are such a fucking talent, Yi! I absolutely support you!" Nowitzki touched Yiyang's head. This guy's head is always different from what others think. "If necessary, I can be your 'tactical advisor'. After all, I am someone who has been through this before."

At the door of the mansion, Kidd and Terry also arrived, and Dirk had to leave Yiyang temporarily to greet other guests.

Yiyang sighed, Dirk was right, he was really an idiot with low emotional intelligence. Even if he has the ring, what should he do?

A ring, a dinner and a woman, these three things, Yiyang is not good at any of them...
