Chapter 56: San Antonio Spurs
At the beginning of February 2012, Luo Yun finally followed the team to embark on the journey to Texas, in this week they must play three hard games in a row, Texas as the NBA in the last ten years of the most stable region, it can be said that it is a big challenge for any team in the league, Mavericks, Rockets, Spurs, no matter which one is not a fuel-efficient lamp!
Fortunately, the Denver people have already had the experience of beating the Mavericks and the Rockets before, so everyone is also full of confidence in this trip to Texas, the only thing that makes people vigilant is the old spurs, the GDP combination and Popovich are enough to make the Nuggets sleep, and the little guy also received a provocation from Leonard before getting on the plane, and the guy is already looking forward to the arrival of Loyun.
"Alright! Our first battle was a tough one! Nene's voice was a little low, the Nuggets had not talked to him about renewing his contract so far, and at this time he was looking at the large poster on the street outside the window, and the face of the stone Buddha seemed to be alive at this moment, as if laughing at the Nuggets' incompetence!
"Three games a week isn't a lot this season, and the trip to Texas happens every year, so don't be so discouraged!"
Al Harrington said with a smile that he is relaxed now, and he thinks that going to the away road is like meeting old friends on vacation, and he prefers to run around like this than in Denver alone in the cold wind.
"How's the Spurs?" Luo Yun asked casually, this is San Antonio, located in the south-central state of Texas, he and Houston, Dallas are known as the three major cities in Texas, and the most famous sports team here is undoubtedly except for the San Antonio Spurs. Nothing else!
"How's it going?" Nenei looked at Luo Yun with some surprise. To be honest, the little guy is a bit outrageous. But he also understands the other party's feelings, after all, this kid is about to face one of the most terrifying combinations in the NBA today!
"I can't say it, but you'll know when you go, the AT&T Center is like the away team's graveyard, and the black makes people feel uncomfortable!" Al Harrington tossed the gum to the boy, and it looked like tonight was going to be another big fight.
The boy didn't speak again, in fact, he still knew Spurs better. The GDP combination is resounding in the league, Tim Duncan, a legend who will go down in NBA history, although he is no longer young, but he is still the absolute core of the Spurs with four championship rings, three NBA Finals MVP, and two regular season MVPs, so Luo Yun should be glad for this, because he still has the opportunity to meet Duncan on the court!
The little guy remembers that among the top 10 superstars in NBA history selected by the famous American website "The Bleachers", only two active players were selected. They are Tim Duncan and Kobe Bryant, and the former is sixth among the ten. One in front of him is Wilt Chamberlain! So Duncan has become a legend at this time, and now he is still attacking for his fifth championship, this guy is 36 years old!
Speaking of this, Luo Yun couldn't help but think of a martial arts novel he had read in his father's study.
"Hey! Are you here to spy on information? ”
Luo Yun had just walked into the locker room of the AT&T Center Arena and spotted Leonard's traces, the black boy is currently mixing well with the Spurs, and he no longer has the desire to be a leader after playing under the big guys, although he has been wondering why Duncan is not old.
"For this kind of guy, we should blast out en masse, look at his obscene look, he must be thinking of something bad!" Hamilton chimed in, having fought Leonard before and had been mistreated, so he was not polite to speak.
At this time, the people in the Nuggets locker room were even more laughing, because there was still some time before the game started, so the atmosphere was extraordinarily relaxed.
"Damn, I knew you kid would say that!" After hearing this, Leonard pushed the door directly and walked in, and saw a group of players laughing and playing, and couldn't help but sigh a little, damn, San Antonio's locker room is a pool of stagnant water, and he can't let out a fart for a long time.
"Are you here to make a challenge?"
Luo Yun got up and hugged his friend, the black boy had a good time at the Spurs, and his body was stronger than before.
"Challenge?" Leonard's eyebrows raised slightly after hearing this, and he didn't seem to be interested in Luo Yun's words: "Come on!" Little guy, you're here to lose, I now understand the horrors of San Antonio, Popovich and GDP are not at all something you can leverage! ”
Leonard's words seemed very unkind, which also caused the other players in the locker room to be a little dissatisfied, but because the opponent was a friend of Winnie the Pooh, they didn't have a seizure, but everyone present had already taken this unashamed kid to heart, and they must crush him hard at night.
"Really?" The little guy smiled slightly: "Then let's see!" ”
、、、、、、
That night, the home of the San Antonio Spurs, the black-and-white style AT&T Center
"Alright, dear female fans, please stop screaming like crazy, okay? Winnie the Pooh is in the locker room, he'll be out in a moment, you don't have to rush too much! ”
Commentator Smith said with a smile, and the audience at the scene booed after hearing this, don't doubt the loyalty of Spurs fans, because they will never change sides because of their beauty, although some women are already crazy with excitement.
Dense flashing lights filled all corners of the arena, this big battle people have been looking forward to for a long time, this is not to say how strong the two teams are, but because of the arrival of the little guy, this kid has repeatedly played high-level games as soon as he enters the league, so people are very much looking forward to him planting his head on the old spurs, and those women want to be able to witness the demeanor of the NBA handsome guy, you know, for now, the live ratings of the game with Winnie the Pooh are very good, Because some housewives who don't watch the NBA know the name of the little one, they give up their housework and turn on the TV, the only purpose is to feast their eyes.
"Can you please stop talking about that stinky bear. He's hot enough in North America," Barkley lashed out at his friends on the sidelines. In fact, he was also very helpless. Because Parker and Eva's divorce has made San Antonio, which has not had much entertainment, even more deserted, although the ball market has been very hot, but the presence of desperate housewives is indeed a lot more disgraced.
Smith's expression was rather embarrassed, because he didn't want to do it either, but unfortunately his eight-year-old daughter liked Winnie the Pooh very much, so he said that in order to get an autograph for his daughter after the game, he had to curry favor with the other party in the ring.
At this time, Luo Yun was being interviewed by a reporter blocked outside the locker room, this is a beautiful reporter from CCTV5. I came here on purpose.
Luo Yun first sent late New Year wishes to Chinese fans in his native language, and then answered some innocuous questions, to be honest, this time the country still attaches more importance to this game, otherwise there will be no American reporters to interview, after all, after Brother Yao's retirement, fans' enthusiasm for the NBA has greatly declined, and the appearance of Winnie the Pooh just makes up for this vacancy, although he is Chinese, but it does not affect the fans' love for him, not to mention that the stinky boy is very good at talking, compared to Jeremy Lin, who does not speak Chinese. Luo Yun is undoubtedly more interested in people's appetite.
The interview was only about two or three minutes, and at the request of the reporter, Luo Yun had to force his head and sing one or two sentences of Wishing you prosperity to Fa Cai amid the laughter of his teammates. That look, don't mention how cowardly.
Finally, in the midst of countless flashes and boos, Winnie the Pooh stepped into the home court of the Spurs for the first time, looking at the solemn black tone and the crowd of mountains and tsunamis, the little guy only felt a huge pressure rushing towards him, the San Antonio Spurs, the big brother of the top three in Texas, is really worthy of its name!
At the other end of the tunnel, the Spurs led by Leonard's younger brother also appeared in the cheers of the fans, and when Parker, Ginobili and Duncan appeared, the entire AT&T Center Arena seemed to explode, and the crazy screams and flashing lights set the atmosphere to the extreme, and the roar of the live DJ made the fans even more excited.
With the players on the field, the whole arena gradually brightened, and at this time, George Karl was sitting on the bench with a solemn face watching the boys move their bodies, and the AT&T Center Arena was waiting for the game in a noisy voice!
"Okay, who are we going to interview Popovich tonight? I don't want to be embarrassed by that old man! Barkley looked at the white-haired old man on the Spurs' side and said, this is today's mission, they must complete it!
"I went last time, this time it's you!"
Smith refused to be fooled, you know, Popovich is the toughest of all the coaches in the NBA, so no one wants to deal with this old guy!
However, Barkley is not a good stubble, so the two decided to use a coin toss to decide their respective fates amid the laughter of the fans, which is a funny way to be common in the NBA and a tool to adjust the atmosphere of the scene.
But the end result was criticized, and Barkley looked at the coin and suddenly had the heart to die!
Two minutes later, a hilarious footage of Barkley's interview with Popovich appeared on the big screen above the AT&T Center.
Ross Barkley: "Greg, can I have two questions with you before the game?" ”
Popovich: "What? You interviewed before the game even started? Shouldn't the interview be held after the game? And, Charles, take your press card and take a look! ”
Barkley: "Ugh! Just ask two questions, because many of the fans present want to know! ”
Popovich: "Really? What's going on? Hurry up, it's just two! “
Barkley: "Haode, I would like to ask you what you think of Winnie the Pooh of the Nuggets, what do you think he looks like?" “
Popovich: "That's a Nuggets player, you should ask George Karl, you ask me Bab! ”
Barkley: "Aren't the Nuggets your opponents today?" We're curious to see what kind of defensive action you'll take against Winnie the Pooh! ”
Popovich: "That's the second question!" I'm telling you, I don't know him! ”
Barkley: "If you don't know, you should have seen the video, 'I ~~~~~"
Popovich: "it! It's just two, and you're still asking! ”
Barkley: Wow! (I just said this old man is not funny!) (To be continued......)
