Chapter 25

On the 25th, the Raptors held a grand championship parade in Toronto.

To celebrate the team's first championship in franchise history, even the notoriously stingy Raptors owner, Chad, generously spent millions of dollars to host the parade.

On the same day that the Raptors held their championship parade, Nike officially announced the upcoming release of their "Aj" and "Phenomenon" collaborative sneakers, "The Time of Inheritance: Champions."

Without a doubt, if you were to ask who was best at making money this summer, in Su Feng's opinion, it would definitely be Nike.

Because even if he was just picking his toenails, Su Feng knew how valuable these shoes would be in the future.

Of course, as Nike's partner, Nike making money was the same as him making money.

So, in addition to mourning for those sneaker enthusiasts for three seconds, Su Feng also promoted "The Time of Inheritance: Champions" during the championship parade.

It is worth mentioning that during the Raptors' championship parade, that beautiful figure that had appeared in the Finals once again successfully garnered millions of envious gazes for Su Feng...

After the Raptors' successful championship this year, Su Feng's worth skyrocketed.

With Duffy's help, the endorsements he had signed in his early years were all renegotiated with new contracts recently.

In addition to his previous endorsements, Pepsi also extended an invitation to Su Feng two days ago.

Originally, Su Feng had always been on the side of Coca-Cola when it came to cola.

But unfortunately, Pepsi's sincerity this time was too great.

Therefore, for Su Feng, who always valued "sincerity" more, he decisively rejected Coca-Cola's offer.

There was no way around it, Su Feng, who saw "money as dirt," was now so "high-class."

Taking advantage of the Raptors hosting their championship parade in Toronto, Pepsi naturally couldn't miss such a perfect promotional opportunity.

Therefore, at Pepsi's invitation and with the planning of Britney's record company, the "singing tool" Britney and Su Feng sang Queen's "We Are the Champions" together during the championship parade.

As a result...

Those North American otaku who originally thought that Su Feng and Britney were just ordinary friends...

On this day, they all wished they could bring a knife to Toronto and duel with Su Feng.

But...

What these people who wanted to duel with Su Feng didn't know was...

In reality, Su Feng and Britney didn't see eye-to-eye in private at all.

However, as the saying goes, scandals are all hyped up.

And so, in an instant, news about the "American Sweetheart" and the "Chinese Sweet Melon" being in a passionate romance swept across North America like a tornado.

The slogan "Kill Su the Thief, Snatch Sweetie" would resonate throughout the North American otaku community throughout the rest of the summer.

Ahem...

Let's get back to business.

Although the Raptors' championship parade this year couldn't compare to the Bulls' championship parade last year and the Lakers' championship parade in Su Feng's memory, the entire Toronto was transformed into an ocean of joy thanks to the enthusiastic response of the Canadian folks.

Tens of thousands of fans wearing Raptors' championship commemorative t-shirts followed the championship float all the way, making for a lively scene.

Jordan, who was about to retire, also gave his retirement speech once again at the championship parade.

And when Jordan finished his speech, Su Feng could confirm with one hundred percent certainty that the cheers that erupted at the scene were definitely not because Jordan had spoken so well...

It was just that people were simply celebrating that he was finally finished speaking...

Martin, the Raptors' home DJ who was acting as a guest host, asked Su Feng when the team's championship float arrived at the University of Toronto:

"Su, people believe that your contribution was the greatest to the Raptors' championship this year.

Michael will be leaving the team next season. Are you confident in leading the team to defend its title?"

Looking at the Canadian fans around the float who were eagerly awaiting his answer, Su Feng smiled after taking the microphone:

"I'd like to refute you first, because in my opinion, no one's contribution was the greatest to the Raptors' championship this year.

We are a great whole, and each of us is indispensable.

We are close to each other, like brothers.

So in my opinion, not only could no one defeat us this season, but no team will be able to defeat us next season either.

Just like I said before, 'No brothers, no basketball!'"

Now that the "Inheritance Basketball" era was over, in Su Feng's view, it was time for "Brotherhood Basketball" to officially take over.

Next to him, after Su Feng's extremely high EQ speech, McGrady, Carter, Nash, Big Ben, and others also expressed that from now on, there could only be one person in charge in Toronto.

As for the "Old Rogue" who was about to retire...

Although he felt that something was strange after carefully considering Su Feng's words, he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.

And in order to show their loyalty to Su Feng and avoid being laughed at by Jordan, this "outsider," the Raptors players showed what "position" and "pattern" meant in the interviews that followed.

"Su is too humble. We definitely couldn't have won the championship this year without him," McGrady said in an interview.

"He is a great leader. Whether on or off the court, he is our most important player," Nash said.

"I hope the league can restart the dunk contest next season, because in my opinion, if you can't beat Su in the dunk contest, then you can't be considered a dunker," Carter said with a special tone.

"I will never doubt Su. Believe me, there is no man in this world more trustworthy than Su.

He guides us forward, he is omnipotent!"

And as Su Feng's loyal follower, Big Ben said this.

"I'm very happy that Su can treat me as his brother. In fact, the reason I chose to join the Raptors is related to Su's fondness for my two little guys.

I see many excellent qualities in Su, so I hope that Stephen and Seth can become as excellent as him when they grow up."

In addition, Old Dell also said this in an interview.

In this way, under the loyal speeches of these teammates, the Canadian folks forgot about the sad news of Jordan's upcoming retirement on this day.

And after Su Feng shouted the slogan "No brothers, no basketball" once again, many basketball enthusiasts immediately called their best friends to greet them:

Brother, want to play basketball together this weekend?

Oh, you have to accompany your wife, then never mind.

Huh? Whether your wife accompanies you or not doesn't matter?

Loyal enough! This is what good brothers are like!

Obviously, no matter what Su Feng's purpose was in shouting the slogan "Brotherhood Basketball," at the end of the 20th century, his words would affect an entire generation.

After a day and night of revelry, the bustling Toronto finally returned to peace...

…

On the 26th, the day after the Raptors' championship parade ended, in Washington...

Old Dunleavy didn't know that in the summer of 1999, he was already the honorary championship general manager of the future Raptors.
