Chapter 677 New Team Name (3/4)
Next chapter
That night, at Duncan's last wish before joining the Timberwolves, Qin Yi accompanied him to the San Antonio atamp; amp; T Center Arena.
This is the home stadium of the Spurs, and before leaving the city where he has lived for nearly two decades, Duncan wants to watch the Spurs one last time as a family member to commemorate the end of his last basketball career and the beginning of a new basketball career!
This is a farewell ceremony, so Qin Yi, who originally planned to take him back to the north in the morning, also spent a day on the beach for this, waiting for today's home game of the Spurs.
When they entered the stadium in the evening, Qin Yi and John hugged a burger with double hot dogs, and ate it while wearing baseball caps, no different from ordinary fans.
However, the admission tickets were all obtained by Duncan, a good seat in the first row, so after Qin Yi sat down, the baseball cap couldn't stop him from being discovered, but no matter what, there was no need to be sneaky to watch the game!
When Qin Yi sat down to eat and watch the cheerleading performance, Duncan was already greeting his old friends.
After more than half a year, this big brother, who took great care of everyone, appeared in the locker room again, and everyone was a little sad, happy, and inexplicable, but they all stood up and applauded and welcomed.
In any case, it is always fun to get together with old friends.
As usual, Duncan stroked the head, pinched the fat of the man, and encouraged everyone in a unique way before sitting down with Parker.
Glancing at Duncan, who was staring aimlessly, Parker stirred the coffee he snatched from the fat Dior, showed a French-style elegant smile, and said, "After thinking about it for half a year, you finally plan to do something?" ”
Duncan still looked cute, nodded, but didn't speak, only looked around at this for more than ten years. So much so that the locker room, which is more familiar than at home, and these teammates who have worked hard together for several years with sweat.
"Leave the Spurs completely, are you willing to do it?"
As an old friend for more than ten years, Parker could see Duncan's thoughts, and besides, Duncan's nostalgia for this qiē was so obvious.
"Reluctantly."
A simple question and answer, without any flowery language, made the two of them burst into tears at the same time.
Dior, the fat man who has always been free and easy, is also sitting honestly with his head down at the moment, Leonard, Green, Mills, etc. One by one, they were silent.
When Big Brother retired, he thought that he might stay at Spurs as management, so although everyone was sad, they were not too uncomfortable, but they didn't expect a complete parting to come so suddenly.
Duncan tightened his mouth and reached out to hug Parker, a pair of large hands awkwardly tapping twice on his bare head, followed by the others. A group of old buddies comfort each other.
Outside the door, Coach Vicky, whose hair was already gray and topped, was a little staggering, and he paced slowly. Looking at the laughing fans on the field, I think back to the past scenes, this time flies, and 20 years have passed
A group of big men gathered around for a moment of sadness. Or quickly control the situation.
Parker patted Duncan on the back and asked nonchalantly, "Can you tell us, who poached our best power forward?" Damn it. I'm going to beat him up! ”
"The Timberwolves' boss is sitting outside!" Duncan doesn't hide it, it's nothing to hide, "But if I'm you, I'll never provoke him!" ”
"Mr. Qin? I should have thought that he was on the Mavericks' home court the night before, so close! Parker nodded knowingly, "Okay, he's your new boss, so I'm not going to beat him up, I'm going to have to save some face for you, right?" ”
"You really don't have to save face for me!" Duncan touched Parker's bald head, his tone agitating.
Everyone else also pulled out a smile, they all knew Qin Yi's strange power, if they really want to fight, it is not certain who will beat whom!
Seeing that the time was almost up, Duncan didn't delay them much, hugged them again, and walked out freely, not thinking that the fat Dior shouted: "Did he let you play?" ”
Duncan didn't look back and walked out, only raised his right hand and shook his index finger, and said happily: "Don't be too surprised when the time comes!" ”
Everyone suddenly became happier, Duncan likes to play, and he can do what he likes, so he is also happy!
At the door, Coach Vicky was waiting for him.
After a pause, Duncan hurried up to meet him again, hugged the old fellow who was only up to his chest, and didn't know what to say, so he didn't say anything.
"Is he a trustworthy boss?"
"Yes, he is!"
"Go ahead and pursue what you want!"
Duncan didn't say more, strode towards the audience, and the ** vic behind him watched him go away, silently returned to the locker room, glanced at the group of basketball boys, and suddenly shouted: "Give me a good fight, blow them up!" ”
"Beat them up!"
The players shouted, not loud but extremely determined, they all wanted to use a beautiful game to practice for their former comrades.
Duncan appeared again at the home court of the Spurs after half a year, causing a sensation that was not ordinary, the fans stood up and chanted Duncan's name, excited, remembrance, regret, all kinds of emotions were intertwined, the fans seemed to be the craziest star chaser, so that the cheers of the whole scene even overshadowed the sound of the radio!
Qin Yi looked at the big man who waved to greet everyone, and couldn't help but imagine in his heart, tomorrow the news of Duncan joining the Timberwolves spread, I don't know how many fans will cry sadly!
As the picture of Duncan sitting next to him was captured by the cameras on the field and transmitted to the giant screens on the left and right sides in real time, the fans and sports people who knew Qin Yi's identity inside and outside the stadium suddenly had a shocking guess!
Days, Duncan, who has been retired for half a year, suddenly came back and joined the newly acquired Timberwolves?
Everyone was taken aback by the news, although most people think that Duncan is old, but it is undeniable that such a best power forward, who is likely to be ranked in the top 10 of the league's Hall of Fame, will definitely help the team tremendously!
Not to mention the guidance of the new players in terms of skills, but his huge prestige and inspiration to the players are limitless!
No matter how bad it is, say to the players who are on or off: "Hey, boy, well done (good job)!" ”
This is a great morale boost for the young players!
While everyone was shocked, they were also sighing at Qin Yi's methods, which were really mysterious, and they pulled a general into the door wall without making a sound!
You must know that in the past six months, many teams have broken their legs and worn out their mouths without being able to do so, but look at Boss Qin, who just appeared in the Mavericks' main stadium the day before yesterday, and took Duncan down every other day, with amazing efficiency!
Qin Yi didn't pay attention to how the sports world was shaken, he was watching the game seriously at this time.
Today, the Spurs seem to have been stimulated, the opening is a fast break, the outside running is active, the inside is hard, and the rebounds and steals are also a big cut over the Suns who are fighting away, plus the luck is good, there are few balls conceded, and it is simply pressing the Suns to play.
Qin Yi, John, and Duncan didn't speak, and only quietly enjoyed the send-off feast.
After a sad but domineering parting game, Duncan bid farewell to the Spurs, welcomed the future, and followed Qin Yi back to Montana in a low-key manner.
Two days later, Manu. Ginobili also flew to Montana from his hometown in Argentina, and after being fooled by Qin Yi, he also followed Duncan to familiarize himself with the difference brought by his strong physique.
In the past two days, after some discussion with his daughters-in-law, Qin Yi finally made a decision, the name of the team was changed from "Timberwolves" to "Cowboys", and the new location was chosen in Helena Montana, known as the "Helena Cowboys"!
The NBA officially approved it immediately, but the new name can only be activated from next season, and Montana is already located in the Northwest Region, so the team still belongs to the Northwest Division, the Western Conference.
Helena didn't have a suitable stadium and was in the middle of the season, so the team's relocation was also delayed.
After dealing with these things, Qin Yi's remaining job is to choose a new manager for the team. (To be continued.) )
