North Carolina is a state on the Atlantic coast of the southeastern United States. One of the original 13 states. It is bordered by Virginia to the north, the Atlantic Ocean to the east, South Carolina and Georgia to the south, and Tennessee to the west. With an area of 136,560 square kilometers, it ranks 28th among the 50 states. It has a population of 9,535,483. More than 50% of the population is rural, making it one of the most populous states in the United States. The capital is Raleigh, and the largest city is Charlotte. The athletic atmosphere is also very strong, as there are two NCAA superuniversities, the University of North Carolina and Duke University. In fact, North Carolina is best known not for its headquarters, but for North Carolina Chapel Hill University, whose basketball team is famous in the NCB League, called Asphalt Heels, and the mascot is the Ramses Ram. They compete in the NCAA's Division I-A and Atlantic Coast conferences. He won four NCAA basketball championships in 1957, 1982, 1992 and 2009. Great basketball flyers Michael Jordan, demigod Vince Carter, James Worthy, Rasheed Wallace, Jamison, and Jerry Starkerhouse all came from the school, and they were all very good at offense.

But the Blue Devil Duke is different, first of all, it is a private school. The American sports channel ESPN ranked the top ten basketball schools in the United States, and Duke beat the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (hereinafter referred to as "North Carolina") and the University of Kansas, ranking first with an absolute advantage, and deservedly ranked first in basketball. Duke is known for its athletic prowess and is considered "the best basketball team in the world." As the most prestigious academic university in the United States, unlike many of the world's top academic universities, Duke University is exceptionally good at sports and is the representative of private universities in the United States. Duke has the best basketball team in the world, with Duke winning the NCAA men's basketball championship four times in 1991, 1992, 2001, and 2010. Coach "Old K" (Michael Lkrzyzewski, also coach of the U.S. National Basketball Team) is the head coach of the Duke basketball team, who has coached Duke University for 30 years, and on November 16, 2011, he won the most games in NCAA basketball history (903 games). In the era of "old K" coaching, Duke imported a total of 51 players to the NBA, including Jordan's successor Grant Hill, former Rockets forward Sean Battier, Yao Ming's fellow prospect Milwaukee Bucks Mike Dunleavy, Chicago Bulls main forwards Carlos Boozer and Roel Deng, Dallas Mavericks center Elton Brand, and 2011 Cleveland Cavaliers selected by the Cleveland Cavaliers Kelly Irving. Duke's basketball philosophy is to focus on teamwork, and players generally have a higher basketball IQ. And in the NBA, these players are top-notch defensively and are loved by coaches.

These two universities in North Carolina are good at defending and attacking each other, which makes North Carolina people very fond of watching basketball games, so someone asked, why not build a professional basketball team here where you like basketball so much? So there was a new team, the Charlotte Hornets.

Since its inception in 1988, the Charlotte Hornets have had a mediocre record, except for the first five years, they have never had a record below 50% in the regular season, and because they are located on the weaker East Coast, they were regular visitors to the East Coast playoffs in the late 90s, but unfortunately the team failed to break through the threshold of the East Coast semifinals. In the preseason of this season, he traded players with the Miami Heat, exchanged for Jones and Meichen, and exchanged for the Heat's abandoned generals Mascoburn and Brown. The two main defenders in the lineup, Wesley and Barang Davis, are small in stature, but their flexible play makes the opponent at a loss, and the small forward Masborne has both offense and defense, in addition to the other two main players in the front, Brown and Kampar's "rotten boy" style of play, making the team the strongest team on the East Coast. It has caused a lot of trouble for many teams. However, the quality of their reserve players is mediocre and not of a high level, which has become a stumbling block for the Charlotte Hornets to win the Eastern Coast championship.

Luke and David arrive in New York the next day and make a deal with Reebok and PepsiCo to be their spokespeople, although they have done this in China before, but it is too formal for Luke to feel uncomfortable. However, Luke was relieved to receive a large signing fee, and we finally had money!

When it was over, David treated Luke to a meal, "Well, it feels good." David said.

"Uh-huh, uh-huh." Luke said as he stuffed the steak.

"Look at your performance, yesterday you were so brave, today you are so cheap, hey......" David said as he looked at Luke's eating face.

"Well," said Luke, after taking a bite of the steak, "Riley only invited us to coffee yesterday and didn't invite us to a steak. ”

"Hey, you're a foodie. I've finally seen through you. David shook his head and said.

"What about me? I'm a foodie, I'm a foodie, I'm proud! Luke smirked.

"Hey, you're not saved." David said, "They gave you very expensive coffee beans from Blue Mountains No.1 Peaberry." "What's this, I don't know much about coffee, and it's free to give it to me, if you like it, you can take it." Luke finished speaking, still concentrating on the beef on the plate.

"What you say is true? Will you give me the rest? David said.

"Of course, I can't drink it anyway, and it's any different from regular coffee." Luke said, tossing the coffee beans to David.

David took it carefully, then put it in his briefcase, and then said to Luke, "Well, since you gave me such a big gift, I'll tell you a little trick." Your next game is against the Charlotte Hornets, right? ”

"Eun, it's them, what's wrong?" Luke nodded.

"You go back to small forward and beat your opponents, and I'm sure you're going to have a blowout." David said with a smile.

"Really, the opponent is strong? Or is he famous, how do I not know? Luke put down his knife and fork when he heard this.

"An opponent that will definitely surprise you!" David smiled and ate his own.
