Chapter 86: The Moon and the Clouds

The Heat players left the court.

There was still some time before the championship trophy presentation, and Wade Dong was invited to join Yujia and Coach Zhang.

Yujia, "Congratulations to the Suns on their first championship in history, and congratulations to Wade Dong!"

Wade Dong, "Thank you!"

Coach Zhang, "This year, the Suns were able to defeat the Heat thanks to your incredible performance."

Wade Dong, "It wasn't that incredible. I just did what I was supposed to do on the court."

Yujia, "Now the whole country is watching you. Can you tell everyone what you want to do most after winning the championship?"

Wade Dong, "I want to go back home. I can't wait to return to China."

Coach Zhang, "Do you want to share this good news with your parents and family?"

Wade Dong, "Not just that. Mainly, the food here is not to my taste. Look, I've gotten so thin."

After saying this, Wade Dong flexed his muscles.

"Wow!!!"

The female fans watching the live broadcast instantly went wild!

Wade Dong's good looks, combined with his muscular body, made him a heartthrob for girls and women alike.

Yujia also laughed, "You could easily rely on your looks, but you chose to rely on your skills."

Wade Dong: (￣▽￣)~*

Coach Zhang, "Do you have any plans for the off-season?"

Wade Dong, "The Olympics are coming up. If I'm on the roster, I'll compete for my country. Otherwise, I'll just do things I enjoy and wait for the new season to start."

Yujia, "Will you stay with the Suns next season?"

Wade Dong, "I can't answer that right now. Stay tuned for the news."

...

Wade Dong's interview ended, and the Suns players and coaching staff gathered at the center of the court. The fans stood up and applauded!

Commissioner Stern also arrived at the arena.

When he handed the O'Brien Trophy to the Suns players, Iverson cried! Nash cried! Hill cried!

They had been fighting in the NBA for over a decade and finally won their first championship trophy.

"Congratulations!"

Stern shook hands with each Suns player, expressing his congratulations.

Next was the announcement of the Finals MVP. There was no suspense about this award because everyone knew that with Wade Dong's incredible performance, the FMVP was rightfully his.

When Stern handed the FMVP trophy to Wade Dong, the DJ shouted loudly, "Let's congratulate the FMVP winner, Wade Dong!!!"

"Thank you!"

Wade Dong shook hands with Stern and raised the FMVP trophy high in the air.

At this moment, all the shadows from his past life vanished, and he stood at the top of the league's pyramid.

"FMVP!"

"Wade Dong!"

"FMVP!"

"Wade Dong!"

"FMVP!"

"Wade Dong!"

The home fans stood up and applauded again, their unified chants echoing through the arena.

...

In the Suns locker room, Iverson had a cigar in his mouth, holding champagne in one hand and the championship trophy in the other, refusing to let go.

Most of the Suns players were also smoking cigars, enjoying the moment.

Wade Dong, however, had no interest in cigars, so he refused the ones offered by his teammates. He was thinking about his promise to Jiajia and couldn't wait to get home.

...

Two hours after the game ended, it was late night in Phoenix.

But the fans were still gathered outside the arena, unwilling to leave! They were celebrating wildly, and all the nightclubs in Phoenix were packed.

This celebration lasted until dawn.

Wade Dong and Li Jiajia returned home around 1:30 AM.

Li Jiajia's hands were clenched tightly the whole way home, her palms sweating from nervousness... she didn't know why she was so nervous.

Back home, Wade Dong quickly took a shower, and Jiajia was already waiting for him.

Wade Dong jumped onto Jiajia's bed...

Li Jiajia struggled a bit and asked, "Should we do this another day... you just finished a game, you must be tired?"

"I'm not tired!"

Wade Dong wouldn't miss this opportunity, especially since he had his little blue pills.

That night, the Phoenix sky was quiet, with the moon hanging in the air and a cloud floating by.

The moon was playing with the cloud.

After a while, the moon hid behind the cloud, and a thin layer of cloud blocked the moon, making the moonlight hazy. The night was beautiful.

Soon, the moon emerged from the cloud again, playing hide and seek with the cloud. This was the game between the moon and the cloud, and they were enjoying it.

Until the sun rose, the moon set, and the red dawn filled the sky...

...

Wade Dong slept until late morning and woke up feeling sore all over.

The Suns had prepared a parade, and they were going to celebrate with the fans in Phoenix.

Actually, Wade Dong didn't want to participate in this activity. He wanted to go back to China immediately, to enjoy barbecue, hotpot, beer, and various street foods. Although he could find Chinese food in Phoenix, it wasn't authentic, and he missed the taste of street food.

Li Jiajia also cooked for Wade Dong, but her skills... let's just say there was still a lot of room for improvement. Plus, Wade Dong usually ate with the team, and it was even harder to find good food when they were on the road. He truly missed China, even though he had only been in the US for a couple of months.

This was Phoenix's first championship trophy, so the streets were filled with celebrating fans during the parade.

"Wade Dong!"

"Iverson!"

"Nash!"

The fans shouted the names of the Suns players, but the loudest cheers were for Wade Dong and Nash. Nash was the soul of the team, and Wade Dong was Phoenix's hero!

This celebration lasted until 3 PM.

Wade Dong felt exhausted, even more so than after a full game.

After the parade, Iverson invited the team to go to a nightclub. Wade Dong didn't refuse, even though he didn't like nightclubs. He knew that if he refused, many of his teammates would also choose not to go, which would ruin the fun for everyone.

American nightclubs were filled with desire and violence, which was one of the reasons Wade Dong didn't like them.

Iverson went to the biggest nightclub in Phoenix, which many Suns players were familiar with. Although it wasn't as famous as some in New York, it was often frequented by celebrities and athletes.

As soon as the Suns players arrived, they brought the nightclub to life.

Wade Dong, who had built his wealth from scratch in his past life, had a good tolerance for alcohol. With his current physical abilities, he only felt slightly drunk after drinking until 2 AM.
