Black and white jerseys, fans wore black and white T-shirts and clothes to support the home team, and even the stadium was decorated in black and white. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

When Ye Han stepped into the ATT arena, he felt a cool air coming out of his vest.

There's a curse on this arena! Ye Han looked at this weird arena and patted Okafor on the side: "Emeka, do you think this arena is very infiltrating?" ”

Okafor was still excited today, and replied casually: "No, this stadium is quite new, it is said that it has only been used for two years, don't look at this is a small city, but it is very rich, you look at the LCD screen in the middle, it is more magnificent than ours......"

Okafor obviously didn't understand what Ye Han meant.

Ye Han is right to think about it, in the NBA, probably domestic players will think of white things when they see the Spurs' home court, and sure enough, watching the Spurs' games is still better from TV, it is already ugly, and this stadium still has this color scheme.

For the Spurs, Ye Han has only one concept - a historical powerhouse.

The Spurs have only failed to make the playoffs four times since entering the NBA in 1976, second only to the Lakers in that time period...... and the Bobcats, the second-fewest teams in NBA history other than the Bobcats not to make the playoffs...... Still second only to the bobcat. And two of those four can be called swings, and both of them were lucky to get the top picks, selecting David Robinson and Tim Duncan to help them win two championships.

Thinking of this, Ye Han couldn't help but smile.

"Hello, Ye, what are you laughing at?"

A very unfamiliar voice came into Ye Han's ears, and Ye Han looked up and saw that it was the 21st.

It's Duncan, he's talking!

"Hey, Tim, you can call me Ace," Ye Han looked at the poker face in front of him, he was surprised that Duncan would take the initiative to come and talk to him, for his own cranky thoughts just now, of course Ye Han was embarrassed to say it, and replied casually: "I think this arena is very good-looking, very beautiful, so I am very happy." ”

Ye Han is talking nonsense, it can be said that this is the stadium where he feels the most uncomfortable, there is no one, this color scheme is too unpleasant for the Chinese.

Of course, Duncan, who was on the other side, didn't know Ye Han's thoughts, and smiled happily: "Ace?" Nice name. I also like this arena because the previous arena was so bad, I was going to play with the Magic two or three years ago, but when I saw the new arena being built, I decided to stay. ”

What? Duncan smiled! Well, Ye Han's surprise was a little strange. Then Duncan's words made Ye Han even more stunned, just because of this reason, he didn't leave?

In 2000, Ye Han was still in high school and had paid great attention to the NBA, he was also a strong player in high school, and his physical talent dominated the high school world in Connecticut where he was located that year.

At that time, Duncan was already a favorable contender for the No. 1 forward in NBA history, and at the peak of his power, the Magic team had Grant Hill, and Duncan had almost gone to the Magic with Maddy, who was about to become a free agent of the Raptors, to join Grant Hill, Duncan gave up the idea of going to the Magic and stayed with the Spurs, and people had no idea why at the time.

After winning the championship in 1999, David Robinson's form dropped significantly in the 1999-2000 season, with only 17 points and 9 rebounds, and he played more and more inside, occupying Duncan's development space.

In 1992, when the NBA nearly shut down for the first time, labor and management abolished the restricted free agent clause, and until then, it was almost impossible for top players to get free transfers, and the parent club could match all the players with the offer contracts. That was the year the players gained valuable freedoms.

But this right is too big, resulting in the entire NBA market in the next few years being completely chaotic, all players are asking for big contracts after the end of their rookie contracts, resulting in a large number of stars leaving, including the Magic losing O'Neal, Larry Johnson has not played a game in the NBA and wants a 100 million yuan contract, etc.

These problems led directly to the shutdown of the 1998-1999 season, because the owners were too insecure, and although the team became more and more profitable, it could not withstand such a chaotic market.

So in the new collective bargaining agreement, the players took a step back and set a limit on the number of years of players' contracts, so that veterans in their 30s would not be able to demand big contracts from more than a decade ago. The rookie contract was even more restrictive, with a fixed salary and the only restricted free agent clause of his career.

Since then, the NBA has gradually entered the right track and entered the stage of prosperity.

Players who signed rookie contracts before 1999 were not restricted free agents, and the inclusion of a restricted free agent clause in rookie contracts made during the 1998-1999 lockout was only available on rookie contracts beginning in 1999.

Duncan's rookie contract was signed in 1997, with only three years, and he can go to any team he wants, and Maddy, with Pippen-style defense, and Hill's Magic team with "Jordan plus Oscar-Roberts" style offense are obviously much better than the Spurs.

Therefore, Duncan finally chose to stay, much to everyone's surprise.

Ye Han didn't expect that the reason why Duncan stayed was actually this!

Ye Han looked at this arena suspiciously, could it be that this color has any buff bonuses?

Suddenly, Ye Han had a bad idea, and said to Duncan with a smile: "I said Tim, I think there is something missing in this arena." ”

"Oh? What's missing? Duncan asked curiously.

"If you look at those jerseys above, wouldn't it be better if you put a picture of them on the jersey? Fans today may have only heard of the names of the famous names, but if they put up a photo, they will be able to better see these players and know what they look like, so that they will not be forgotten for many years. "Ye Han is serious nonsense, usually this guy doesn't talk much, but there is a lot of black water!

Duncan's eyes lit up: "Why didn't I think of it!" Ace, you're too smart, I'm going to talk to Greg. ”

"......" Ye Han looked at Duncan's ever-changing face like an emoji, and thought to himself that this thing turned out to be such a person, sullen man! I don't usually talk much, but I hide it in my heart.

And so honest!

But, it's so much fun! Ye Han continued to bewitch: "Tim, you see, the color scheme of your stadium and the color of your jersey are all black and white, and those photos should be the same color as ......."

Duncan kept nodding, remembering Ye Han's thoughts on retiring jerseys, and almost didn't take a small notebook to write it down.

Poor Duncan became the object of Ye Han's amusement in this way, and it is estimated that no one can remind him.

The two all-star starters talked happily together, killing a lot of film in seconds, neither the media nor reporters expected that the relationship between the two would be so good, and they chatted non-stop together.

Duncan is a notoriously poker face with few words, and Ye Han is also notoriously bad-tempered and antagonistic to many top stars. Well, that's all the speculation of journalists.

But that's what journalists do, they want the public to accept their news, to accept their assumptions, first of all, they themselves believe in their own ideas, as the saying goes, if you want to fool others, you must first fool yourself.

Seeing that Duncan and Ye Han were communicating happily, the reporters had a new idea: Ye Han and Duncan planned to join forces......

After a while, the game began.

Duncan and Ye Han both returned to their usual cold faces, adjusted their mentality, and came to the court.
