Chapter 710: An Opponent Like an Army
The Cavaliers arrived in San Antonio the day before the game began.
The city feels different from other cities. The whole city was enveloped in a serious atmosphere.
This is presumably because San Antonio is the largest military center in the United States, and there are several air bases and garrison bases around the city. It can be said that San Antonio is a city heavily protected by heavy armies.
The military has always been synonymous with seriousness, even in the United States.
However, as a city located in Texas, there is also a sullen heart under the serious shell.
The first thing that comes to mind in Texas is not grilled chicken, but cowboys.
Once the largest Spanish settlement on the North American continent, the city is by far about sixty percent of its population of fiery Latinos.
The city also hosts an annual bullfighting show to showcase the cowboys.
The management of the Cavaliers took this game very seriously, so they did not let the players let themselves go, but immediately started the training camp at night after a half-day rest.
Qian Chen was as stable as ever, and even became more stable because he had gained 'Buddhist thinking'.
It is said that Tim Duncan, the head chef of the Spurs, is nicknamed 'Stone Buddha', and Qian Chen feels that he may be able to compare with Duncan to see who is more Buddhist.
Except for Qian Chen, Rose's state is as stable as ever, and there is no sense of stability in life.
Susan's form is also above good.
Only Owen, unlike the previous hangers, he seemed a little nervous today.
Syllable!
Qian Chen slapped Owen directly on the back and smacked him down.
Owen was just about to get angry, but when he saw that it was Qian Chen, he quickly showed a flattering smile on his face.
He is not a fool, as Qian Chen shows his prominence and wins all kinds of supergod data, Owen has long since extinguished his desire to compete for the chef, concentrates on assisting Qian Chen, and wins several more championships in the future.
The second master must have the consciousness of the second master.
What's more, Qian Chen recently instructed him, making him obviously feel that his cooking skills were slowly improving. This also made him respect Qian Chen more and more.
Champions, cooking, money, fame, if you can have it all, why not be a licking dog?
"Boss, are you done practicing?"
"Well, but you look a little nervous, why haven't I seen you like this before?"
Owen suddenly had a bitter look on his face.
Why is this happening, don't you have a B number in your heart?
is also a rookie, Owen actually played well, and it can even be said that he is above the rookie level, but who made Qian Chen's light too dazzling.
Now others evaluate him and say that he is a parallel importer who drags money back. It stresses him out.
After all, people want to be faced.
In particular, his form has fluctuated greatly, and the media and kitchen fans have criticized him more than praise.
He is willing to be a licking dog, oh no, he is the second master, but it doesn't mean that he likes to be called a burden to be dragged behind.
Doesn't he Owen want to lose face?
In fact, it's not just him, Susan and Rose, especially Rose is criticized and ridiculed the most, after all, he is the head chef, and the average score per game is only half of Qian Chen's.
The media often used this to attack Rose, saying that he occupied the position of head chef and did the work of the second master.
It's just that Ross has experienced a lot, and he is a Buddha, so he doesn't care at all.
On the contrary, it is the sensitive Owen who is under a lot of pressure.
It's just that Owen can't say these words to Qian Chen.
He can't always say, boss, you are doing too well, but others say that I am a dish, and I am under a lot of pressure now, or you are performing poorly?
Others will only care for him as a retard.
So he casually came up with a reason.
"I've heard that the Spurs are strong and very good at targeting the weaknesses of other teams' chefs, so I'm afraid that I won't play well and drag the team back...
Owen said hesitantly.
Qian Chen slapped him in the back again.
Owen suddenly looked at him, "Big brother has something to say, can we do it?" 's sullen expression.
Qian Chen pretended not to see his expression and said directly.
"So you're worried about this, since you know your own food, why don't you hurry up and practice more?"
Owen: "... ”
I'm here for comfort, not for blow.
Qian Chen patted Owen on the shoulder again.
"Just kidding, relax.
Don't think about it, cooking is not playing kryptonite mobile games, you can become stronger as soon as you recharge. Cooking skills are constantly practiced, and they can eventually blossom and bear fruit through the accumulation of practice.
Instead of worrying about time tension, you can spend more time practicing, and even if you lose this time, you may win next time your cooking skills improve. ”
"I see, Boss."
Owen nodded, and began to concentrate on practicing.
The boss is right, if you waste time now, the distance between you and the boss will only get bigger and bigger, and their criticism will only be ugly.
One day I'm going to shut you up on my own! ’
Seeing that Owen began to be angry, Qian Chen nodded with satisfaction, with Owen's current strength, it was far from the time to fight for talent.
Reality is not a game, if you want to win, you have to work hard!
The next day, in the evening.
The Cavaliers arrived at the Spurs stadium by bus.
After experiencing the away boos that he had long been accustomed to, Qian Chen began to look curiously at this prestigious venue.
According to statistics, since the beginning of the millennium, the Spurs have maintained a winning rate of about 80% on their home court, which is a veritable devil's home field.
But Qian Chen looked at it, but didn't find anything special, except that the venue was a big 'U' shape, and the 'U' opening was facing a huge lawn full of holes.
In addition, the halberd stage is very low compared to the auditorium, making it feel like a game is being played in a deep pit.
Other than that, there doesn't seem to be anything special.
If you want to say something special, there are actually some things. Qian Chen found that the stage of the Spurs stadium was particularly simple compared to other teams, with almost no fancy decorations, which fully demonstrated the pragmatic style of the Spurs...
That's weird! Qian Chen felt that the boss of the Spurs was short of money, so he was unwilling to work decoration.
It seems to be an ordinary venue, but after getting the venue information in advance, Qian Chen is very clear about the sharp 'fangs' hidden under this ordinary.
That's when the DJ started to introduce the Spurs players.
As a result, Qian Chen saw a figure with a straight face, as if someone else owed him 100 million, running out of the passage and standing on the opposite side.
The first feeling that the four figures on the opposite side gave Qian Chen was that they looked like a group of well-trained soldiers.
"Damn! The Spurs really changed the starting lineup, and Popovich, the old fox, was completely targeting us! ”
At this time, I only heard Owen next to him complain.
