Luke unknowingly fell asleep while watching TV. But the next morning's news took him by surprise.

"Philadelphia Nova drank late at night with his teammates until the wee hours of the morning and brought home his unknown girlfriend."

This is the headline of a tabloid today, and many newspapers are also vying to reprint it. There are also many pictures, which seem to be squatting.

"Damn it!" Luke slammed the newspaper in anger.

"What's going on? Luke? Larry asked.

"This ......" Luke didn't know how to explain it.

"I really don't know what to say about you, Luke, oops, I knew you were going to pick up girls alone, you just said it, we know, we won't pour everyone down, oops." Aaron said as he covered his head.

"......" Luke didn't know how to talk to this teammate, he obviously drank with them in order not to talk to them, but he was "slandered" by Aaron for drinking with them for women, and their glorious image was immediately revealed.

"Tell me what happened to you." Larry asked.

"Nothing happened to us after that. I swear in the name of God! Luke swore by it.

"No kidding, you don't believe in God at all, and God won't hear your oath at all." As a Christian, Aaron could tell from his usual habits that Luke was definitely not a Christian, "It's not normal for nothing to happen at this time, not to mention that you are not a believer in any religion at all." This is Aaron's conclusion.

"No, I used to be a believer in the same religion, but now I have converted to her 'mother religion'." Luke said.

"'Motherhood'? What is that? Is it Catholic? Aaron asked.

"Of course not. How could it be! Luke said.

"What's that? I really can't think of it. Aaron said, scratching his head.

"Do you really want to know?" Luke said with a serious face.

"Really." Aaron is a curious baby, which Larry is also interested in.

"Don't shout when I say it, just know it yourself, you know, don't you know? …… This religion I believe in is a branch sect of the largest sect in the world, and he has a very domineering name, you must remember it, it is called back! Cage! Straight! ”

"Hmm...... Forehead......" At first, Aaron was stunned by Luke's expression and heavy tone, but three seconds after hearing the last three words, it finally reflected. "So I believe in this religion as well. The largest sect in the world you're talking about may be, no, it must be the legendary sleep. ”

"That's right, I didn't expect you to be a fellow believer." Luke patted Aaron on the shoulder.

"Fellow sister, this can also be regarded as teaching." Aaron "got angry".

"Alright, alright, let's get down to business." Larry also wanted to wrap the conversation off quickly. "Luke, even though you brought the girl back to the apartment, we don't care what you do, but please take care of yourself, because you are a professional footballer, and you are responsible for the team, the league and yourself. You know? ”

"I know, Coach." Luke said solemnly.

"Okay, then I won't pursue it. Let's start with tonight's game. Look at you guys, what are you doing with so much wine in a competition, really. Hey, most of the players have been affected, you look at today's training, hey. ”

"And what about today's game?" Luke asked.

"Only letting Theo [Theo Ratlleaf] and Nazr (Nazr Mohammed) start, but fortunately today's opponent is not very good on the inside of the Dallas Mavericks, so it should be a good match. Snow didn't drink too much and should be able to start today, plus you and Allen, you should be able to withstand the Dallas Mavericks, but Allen, today's scoring task is handed over to Luke, you are responsible for being the traction, you know? Larry said.

"Got it, Larry, I'll go back first." Aaron stood up and said.

"Okay, you guys go first, I'll study it for a while." Larry said.

"Okay, goodbye, coach." Luke politely left.

November 11, Singles' Day (I don't know if there is one in the United States), American Airlines Center Arena in Dallas, Texas.

It wasn't a great day, but most of the 76ers' main players weren't in shape, while Dallas was in good shape.

They have Michael Finley, who is very good at scoring, Steve Nash, who is very good at passing, but not good at defending, and And

"Big Mouth" Cuban vowed not to trade for the rest of his life, the "German tank" "driver" Nowitzki, who is still in the growth period, and of course, the 2.29-meter "Bamboo Pole" Bradley who is from a country (actually American, but he has German ancestry, joined German citizenship under the persuasion of Mavericks teammate Nowitzki, and won the bronze medal in the 2002 World Basketball Championship for the German team), Plus Gary Trent, who is now in his prime (selected by the Bucks with the 11th pick in the first round in 1995 and is a small forward), and Wang Zhizhi, who is very familiar to Chinese. Although Dennis Rodman was cut last year, the team is still doing well, but in the preseason, Luke single-handedly upset the Dallas Mavericks, so even if his teammates are not in good shape this time, Luke has nothing to worry about. The Dallas Mavericks are now the weakest in the Texas top three (although Olajuwon is old now, but it is better than Shaun Bradley, Wang Zhizhi and Nowitzki, not to mention the Spurs, Tim alone will blow them all up), if Luke alone can't even win them, how can he face a strong team like the Lakers and Spurs. So this battle Luke can only win and not lose.

Without Big Ben, Theo Ratliff was on top of nowitzki and Shaun Bradley's inside line, and he didn't have a good relationship with Luke, who hadn't drunk much the night before and was in great shape. In the first half, he grabbed 15 rebounds, 2 blocks and of course 12 points. Seeing Theo Ratliffe perform so well, and thinking that the starting spot he had managed to grab might now be replaced by his own mistakes, Big Ben's eyes dimmed.

"What's wrong, Big Ben?" Larry's voice.

"It's okay, coach, it's just a little emotional." Big Ben said.

"It's uncomfortable to watch Theo Ratliff act so well, right?" Larry continues to draw something on the tactical board.

"No, coach......" Big Ben wanted to say something.

"It's okay, it's good to feel uncomfortable at this time." Larry said, "That means you're normal." ”

Larry paused, then continued: "The team is ready to develop you into a super center, so you don't have to worry about your position. However, during this time, your playing time may be compressed. ”

"Why, Coach." Big Ben asked, reluctantly.

"Your contract ends this year, right?" Larry said, "You want to make a big contract, right? ”

Big Ben nodded. Larry went on to say: "Theo Ratliff's contract is also coming up, and he wants to earn a big contract, he's been with the team for three years, and he's going to let him go anyway." ”

Big Ben's eyes darkened when he heard this. But the next sentence regained his confidence.

"Besides, don't you have to show the customer his surname first? Otherwise, how can it be sold at a high price. ”

Hearing this, Big Ben understood that the 76ers already wanted to trade Theo Ratliffe, and the position of the main force was naturally ......

"The team is not going to look for another centre-forward." Big Ben asked.

"Of course," Larry said, "this time the team will trade two centers, of course, but rest assured, your main position will not move." ”

"Thank you, Coach!" Big Ben said gratefully.

"Don't be grateful to me, just work hard." Larry finished and left. Big Ben is determined to perform better to repay the coach's kindness.
