"Hey hey hey, we can draw the lottery again."

Looking at Ye Qin who was sleeping next to him, Zhou Si put on his eye mask and clicked on the system.

After the main mission of "becoming the best defensive player" was completed last season, the updated main mission is "win the championship"!

Originally, Zhou Si thought it might take two or three seasons to complete the task. Unexpectedly, although there were stumbles along the way this season, he finally succeeded in winning the cup.

Although they successfully eliminated the Warriors and Cavaliers, Zhou Si knew very well that the strength gap between the several teams was not that big, and they were really lucky this year, and none of the main rotations were injured.

Throwing away those distracting thoughts, Zhou Si thought, and the lottery page shined brightly.

Another skill book!

If Ye Qin hadn't been by his side, all the other teammates would have fallen asleep, and Zhou Si would have laughed out loud.

Sure enough, good-looking people will not have bad luck!

Just now, after receiving the main mission rewards, a new main mission appeared, and I successfully defended the title as expected.

Except for defending the title, it seems that other statistics are not that difficult for Zhou Si.

However, defending the title is not that easy. Not to mention the reinforcements of other teams in the next offseason, the contracts of many players in our team are about to expire. By then, many other teams will definitely make crazy offers.

It’s hard to say how many people left.

Teams select players, and players also select teams. Besides, the NBA is essentially a business league, and the contracts are very high. It would not be a surprise for teammates to leave Zhou Si when the time comes.

Zhou Si knows that there will definitely be many teams that want to rob them, so it will not be easy to defend the title.

There are many NBA teams that have won championships, but not many have defended their titles. In this life, when it comes to defending titles, we have to go back to the Lakers a few years ago.

In the past few years, the 2011 Mavericks' lineup changed too much after winning the championship. The 2012 Heat lost to the Lakers, who had emerged with the Big Four. The 2013 Lakers and 2014 Bulls both suffered from injuries.

In addition, there are many factors such as the aging of the team, inflated mentality, and conflicts in the locker room.

Therefore, defending the title is not necessarily guaranteed. Therefore, in Zhou Si's opinion, this skill came very timely.

The future of the Trail Blazers depends on Zhou Si himself!

"[Dry Pull Master]: Improve the stability of players' pull-up shooting and reduce physical consumption.

The current level (1/5), increases the stability of shooting by 10% and reduces physical consumption by 10%."

In Zhou Si's opinion, this skill came at the right time. Why could Zhou Si only frequently hit the penalty area in this season's playoffs even if his opponents targeted him?

Isn’t it because although his long-distance shot is very accurate, it is not enough to kill people!

Now, having this skill means that he has the ability to stably carry out outside attacks!

Without even thinking about it, Zhou Si fully activated this skill without feeling any distress or shock!

The effect of reaching the full level of [Dry Pull Master] is to increase the stability of shooting by 50% and reduce physical consumption by 50%.

Zhou Si is very happy when he thinks that he will finally not have to fight with those chicken sticks in the paint.

Next season, watch me blast you from outside!

…

After arriving at the Portland Airport, Zhou Si could already feel the madness of the "Tear City" fans in mid-air. The densely packed Portland fans at the airport directly used KT boards to line up the words "Blazers Championship"!

When Zhou Si walked off the luxury charter flight holding the O'Brien Trophy high, the Portland fans who came to pick him up were completely excited.

"Trail Blazers Championship!"

"Trail Blazers Championship!"

The cheers of the fans soared into the sky!

It took 23 years to win the championship again. At that time, those crazy young fans had reached middle age, but the passion in their hearts was still there!

Wearing sunglasses and a handsome couture suit, Zhou Si held the championship trophy high and took Ye Qin's hand to get off the plane first.

Lillard, Millsap and McGee filed down with a group of teammates to take photos and sign autographs with the fans who came to greet them.

They were extremely excited at this time!

Without much fuss, the fans let the Blazers players leave!

Because fans know very well that a more exciting championship parade is yet to come!

For cities in the United States that have NBA teams, what makes city residents happiest is when this team wins the championship!

This is a kind of pride. In May and June, fans will gather around the TV and even the home arena to follow the game and cheer for victory. The residents of the entire city are closely connected at that moment, crazy for the championship!

In order to be grateful to the fans and the city, the team will parade and celebrate in various forms on the streets of the city shortly after winning the championship to interact with the fans!

Portland hasn't had a championship parade in 23 years, so this time, they're going to do it right!

…

"What? Let me decide the parade plan?"

Looking at the thick stacks of plans handed over by General Manager Orsi, Zhou Si shook his head.

Just now, after taking a few glances, he already knew that there were quite a lot of things going on here.

Negotiate with the city government to develop a special parade route; arrange corresponding staff; purchase the team's needs, floats, ribbons, power supply equipment, microphones, etc. Zhou Si is very worried.

Refuse decisively!

Zhou Si thought for a while and suggested:

"Since our home court is called the Rose Garden Arena, let's add more rose elements."

General Manager Orsi nodded. This is very simple. Portland's local roses are very famous.

When he goes back, he can discuss it with several other management buddies and come up with a plan plus Zhou Si's request.

Next, General Manager Orsi got to the point.

It's time to start planning for next season.

In fact, their planning was not too early, it was even a step too late. Those teams that did not make it to the playoffs had already started planning and contacting players in April.

Zhou Si's expression straightened, this was a serious matter and must be treated well.

After receiving the materials handed over by General Manager Orsi, the first part was still the contract list.
