This year they did not pull any messy stunts, but chose a relatively unpretentious and down-to-earth bus parade around the city.
Amidst this low profile, the Blazers' management's approach is full of luxury.
Because, there was not one championship trophy appearing on the bus, but three!
The Trail Blazers moved out all the championship trophies from the past three years. The three trophies were lined up side by side. It was an unprecedented scene!
This is the official announcement that the Trail Blazers have become a dynasty team!
Wang Zelin, Lillard, Barton, Batum, and Aldridge will ride in the same car and feel the enthusiasm from the fans around them.
From day to night, the slogans of the Trail Blazers dynasty echoed over the city of Portland.
I don’t know who shouted this slogan first, but now it has become an inseparable symbol together with the Trail Blazers.
Not only in Portland, social media also fell into a carnival, with countless media people praising the Trail Blazers online.
One of the most conspicuous pieces of information is an article by the famous basketball commentator Bill Simmons:
"The Portland Trail Blazers are entering their golden era!"
This title was designed to be very exaggerated, but the entire Blazers team liked it very much.
Such an exaggerated title is necessary to match the exaggerated achievements they created.
As for news on other platforms, the titles are also very exaggerated.
"Three consecutive championships, the Trail Blazers rank among the best teams in history!"
"Spring in the small ball market! For the first time in NBA history, a small ball team won three consecutive championships, and a dynasty was born!"
"Compared to Jordan? Can Wang Zelin launch an attack on the second dynasty?"
"It's really a pity that LeBron has failed to challenge for three consecutive years. He will become the most dazzling background of the Trail Blazers dynasty!"
"The absolute core of three consecutive championships! Wang Zelin successfully ranks among the best centers in history!"
Wang Zelin looked around and found that this time no media jumped out to act like a clown.
Almost all the news on the Internet is praising the Trail Blazers and themselves.
Not only did Wang Zelin smile with satisfaction, but in front of a dynasty team, even the media who had always been in the city instantly humbled themselves.
…
After the Dynasty Parade was held in Portland, Wang Zelin enjoyed the treatment of a super celebrity. The cheers were really like that of a king traveling. Any words he said would cause a chain reaction of the sea of people below.
On this day, his influence in the city reached its peak. The Trail Blazers won the championship at the end of the parade, and the content about the game was spread through the media and documentaries.
The fans were greatly shocked, and Wang Zelin's influence also increased to a higher level on a global scale.
Especially for domestic fans, Wang Zelin's achievements as a Chinese are unimaginable.
Although he is only 23 years old, he has already chosen the most influential and accomplished overseas player in the NBA in advance.
Looking back on today's wonderful experience, this feeling is really... cool!
No wonder so many people like to stand on the top, it feels really great.
But it is easy to get up, but it is difficult to stay standing. There are still a lot of things he has to do in the future.
After the parade, the Trail Blazers officially entered the offseason. At this time, there are still a lot of things waiting for Wang Zelin to do.
For example, contracts, commercial promotions, advertising endorsement shoots, and this year’s domestic pig market are all inevitable.
Therefore, as the number one active player in the NBA and the King of Portland, he needs to allocate his time reasonably, without delaying summer training or other matters.
Of course, the war had just ended, so he decided to take a vacation for himself and enjoy it.
After fighting for so long, you can't let him relax?
Next, he basically accompanied Kendou to attend some events and commercial performances, and then spent a day with his family in Portland.
Since there is the Olympic Games to compete in this year, after a short leisure time, Wang Zelin started an intensive training plan again.
In addition to his identity as the King of Portland, he also has another significant identity - the new generation leader of the Chinese men's basketball team!
Just a bronze medal in the Spanish Men's Basketball World Cup has already made the country excited. If he can lead the men's basketball team to win the Rio de Janeiro Olympics this year and get another medal, then the domestic fans will go crazy!
However, the Olympic Games are in August, and before that, Wang Zelin still has one very important thing to attend to.
The exciting 2016 draft is about to begin.
This year's rookies are still very exciting. After all, last season's rookie players have all fulfilled their talents in the league.
Although Towns, the last No. 1 pick, failed to lead the Timberwolves into the playoffs, his personal data was extremely explosive, which at least made the Timberwolves management quite satisfied with his talent.
At the same time, Porzingis also performed well, and all the post players drafted last season were very good.
On June 24, Wang Zelin went to Brooklyn, New York, with Orsi.
It can be seen that the league is really trying to support the Nets. Now the Barclays Center, the home court of the Nets, has replaced Madison Square Garden as the official arena for the draft.
Compared with last year, many talented young people appeared in this year's elective conference.
This year's top pick is Ben Simmons, a forward from Kangaroo Country who has a strong body and physical fitness.
Although he is 2.08 meters tall, he has agility that exceeds that of people of this height. This makes his future full of uncertainties.
In addition, players such as Brandon Ingram, Jaylen Brown, Dragan Bender, and Kris Dunn are also popular rookies in this year's draft.
On the eve of the draft, the draft teams of each team arrived at the arena one after another.
Many fans unconsciously turned their attention from the Trail Blazers' dynasty parade to the draft.
The NBA offseason is very long every year, and the draft and the free market are the parts that deserve the most attention from fans.
Soon, the draft came as scheduled at the Barclays Center.
The draft teams of each team in the league entered the arena early.
There is still a small green room in the center of the stage. This year, a total of 16 people, including No. 1 pick Ben Simmons and Ingram, were invited to enter.
Compared with last year's draft, there were a few fewer players, which also shows that this year is a weak year for the draft.
However, this does not affect the enthusiasm of the fans and the draft team.
Looking at the direction of the stage, Simmons, Ingram, and Jaylen Brown all looked nervous.
Before the draft, the three of them had basically locked up the top three picks in the draft. The Philadelphia 75ers, who had the worst record last season, unexpectedly got the No. 1 pick in the 2016 draft, and the second pick was taken by the Boston Celtics.
The third overall pick belongs to the Phoenix Suns.
Although the three of them are locked in the top three, there is still a big difference. Whether they go to Philadelphia or to Boston, one of the two giants in the NBA, or to Phoenix will likely affect their future career development.
In contrast, the Trail Blazers, whose best draft pick was only the 30th pick in the first round due to their excellent record, seemed much calmer.
