Chapter Thirty-Eight: Holding the Pipa
"Duan! Hurry up! Green's hoarse voice rang out outside. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Everyone is waiting for you!"
"Oh, got it! Got it! ā
"Chen Sanpang, don't be arrogant, I must ask my sister about my sister's pocket money when I come back!" Duan Tianqing said uselessly.
"Cut!" Looking at Duan Tianqing's back as he ran out in a hurry, Chen Yunnuan raised his eyebrows disdainfully, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"I'm coming, brothers!" Stepping on the bus, Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, Bogut, and a number of other Warriors players are ready and waiting for him.
"Hurry up, Duan, go to Dallas early and rest early!"
"Duan, you've never been to Texas, I can take you to downtown Dallas!"
"Hehe, come on, he's going to make his debut tomorrow, how can he still have the heart to go out and play?"
The players were talking nonsense, but Duan Tianqing was stunned. It turned out that unconsciously, he also became a part of this team, the Golden State Warriors.
Some people say that life is a long journey, and the important thing is not where you end, but the scenery along the way and who accompanies you through it. Perhaps for Duan Tianqing, from this moment on, a new journey begins here, and these people will accompany him to the distance.
"Drummond, we're going to win tomorrow!" I don't know why, at this moment, the idea of Tianqing's desire for victory is extremely strong. Perhaps this is the sense of collective honor and the sense of belonging to the team!
"Of course! Needless to say, we crave every victory! Green hammered Duan Tianqing's shoulder.
Dallas, Texas, home of the Dallas Mavericks. Texas has three NBA teams, the Houston Rockets, the San Antonio Spurs, and the Dallas Mavericks, and the Mavericks don't seem to have as much attention compared to the Rockets and Duncan's Spurs, where Yao Ming was once in.
But don't forget, the year before last, the German veteran driver, Nowitzki, led the Mavericks to win the NBA championship. This is the first championship in the history of the Mavericks, and Nowitzki has used his efforts to show the world that the Mavericks are not weak, and he is not a soft egg.
Nowitzki is also a great player, a legendary superstar! And this team and the Golden State Warriors are old enemies!
In the 2006-2007 season, the Dallas Mavericks started with a four-game losing streak and accumulated a team-best record of 67-15 and the sixth best record in NBA league history. Dirk Nowitzki, the team's star veteran, was named the MVP of the regular season, becoming the first player in Mavericks history to win the second prize and the first player in European history to do so. But what they never expected was that they were eliminated by the Golden State Warriors led by Don Nelson 4-2 in the first round of the playoffs, achieving the opponent's "Black Eight Miracle".
This once made the Mavericks unable to raise their heads for a long time, and also achieved the prestige of the Golden State gangs who dared to fight.
As a result, the beams of these two teams are settled, and every game is thunderous. I believe this time will be no exception!
"It's hotter the in Texas than in Oakland!" As soon as he got off the plane, Duan Tianqing couldn't help but complain.
"Haha, there are enthusiastic Texas girls, it's even hotter than this weather!"
"Get out, like an old rascal!!" Duan Tianqing glared at Green with disgust.
"Hey, you're saying I'm like Michael Jordan?!" Green said excitedly.
āććć Brains are a good thing, but it's not bad if you don't have them, at least you can live a little happier! Duan Tianqing said earnestly.
"Hee-hee, okay, let's go to the hotel first, and then you can come out and have fun if you want!" Curry gradually has a kind of team old atmosphere.
However, for the next day's race, no one ran around and went to nightclubs to have fun. After all, the team's record this year is not very good, five wins and five losses, although it has improved compared to last year, but it is far from enough, and a fifty percent win rate does not guarantee entry into the playoffs.
The next afternoon, a few hours before the start of the game, many Warriors players came to the arena early to practice.
Clay's crazy practice of catching and shooting, projecting from various positions, jumping and turning in the air and other actions require strong waist and abdominal core strength.
Curry, on the other hand, is completely different from Klay, his main offense is to attack with the ball, pulling space around the cover and making quick shots. Or play misplaced after switching defenses, and single the big man who is not flexible enough on the opposite side.
Although the Warriors' main outside firepower points are both fast shots and good shooting percentages, they are not the same type of players at all. To put it simply, one is good at playing without the ball, and the other is good at attacking with the ball. In the training of Warriors players, each person also has different content according to their own characteristics.
There is still an hour before the game starts, and among the Warriors players, there are two missing figures at some point, Green and Duan Tianqing are not there.
"What about Duan and Drummond?! It was still there just now!? Curry wondered.
At this time, the two were indeed on their way back. "You bastard! I have to have some dinner. It's only now that it's here, and Stephen has called to ask! Green said as he walked away.
"What, you're scolding me?! You didn't eat it?! People are iron rice and steel, and that little burger before the game is not used at all! Duan Tianqing looked very reasonable.
"Alright, don't say it, let's go quickly! The warm-up game is about to begin! ā
The two walked briskly into the stadium, by which time many media reporters had already arrived, the spectators had begun to enter, and the players of both teams had begun their final warm-up training. To be honest, before the competition, there were only spectators who were as unhurried as Duan Tianqing.
However, before Duan Tianqing could walk into the venue, he was stopped by a person. It's a Chinese, no, it's a Chinese to be precise. Fifty or sixty years old, with a little gray hair on his head, he is taller than Duan Tianqing, his eyes are very bright, and he looks very energetic.
Duan Tianqing looked at him, Duan Tianqing went to the left, and Duan Tianqing went to the right.
"Hey, uncle, who are you, what do you want to do?!"
"Is that you?!" The man said in a magnetic voice, asking without a beginning or an end.
āćććā Only then did Duan Tianqing notice that the man was followed by two cameramen, and he was holding a large microphone with CCTV written on it.
"Is that you?!" The man asked again, looking at Duan Tianqing at the same time. He wore a thin hoodie to cover the sun, and the lights in the players' tunnel were dim, and it was a little difficult to see his face, except that he was tall and his face was contoured.
āććć It's me! Duan Tianqing decided to tease this inexplicable guy.
