The Duchess is located next to Dealey Plaza and is also a well-known place in Dallas.

Dealey Plaza is a Dallas City Park built in 1940 and located west of downtown Dallas. It was here that John F. Kennedy was shot and killed on November 22, 1963. The square is surrounded by three roads: Main Street, Elm Street and High Street.

The plaza is named after George Benneman Dilley, a civil rights leader and early publisher of the Dallas Morning News, who once campaigned for the prosperity of the area.

The Dukedom also has a relationship with Dilly, because he is very respected in Dallas and nicknamed the Duke, the Dukedom is a sports field, which Dilly spent money to build, but now he is better known for his streetball, and other sports are slowly withdrawing from this field.

Rock Park is the mecca of streetball, and the Dukedom is not as high-status, but it is actually as old, as old as the history of the NBA.

In 1946, Holcomby Locke, a New York Park Department clerk, was determined to find some amusement for the idle children of Harlem on a sweltering summer night, so he founded a summer basketball league called Rock Park. And six years ago, in 1940, the Dukedom was born.

As with all street courts, the hoops in the Dukedom are bare, because not all streetball players can dunk, and those who can't dunk have a bad habit of pulling the nets to show off the bouncing, and after a long time, the administrators simply don't care about hanging the nets.

As we all know, the Nets work to slow down the speed at which the basketball falls, and it is also a striking sign when shooting from a distance.

The direct consequence of not having the Nets is that the Dukedom players don't like to shoot from distance, they like to go fancy, and then go to the basket or all kinds of dunks, which makes Curry a little frustrated, because his strength is shooting.

Rose has been on the street court a lot, and he saw Curry sullen and explained: "If you shoot coquettishly enough, like fast and accurate, you can actually win a lot of cheers." ”

A slender black young man in the car nodded and said, "Derek is right, shooting is actually very popular, as long as you don't shoot wastefully." ”

This black young man is named the Lich, a famous street ball player in the Dukedom, and he is also a little bully-level being, Chamberlain and the others are open and honest with him, and the Lich thinks this is a good idea, so he helps them implement it.

The Lich has two functions, one is that if no one plays with them, he will use his influence to gather a few people to play the game, and the other is that if there is a problem with the Eye in a hurry, the Lich will go up to mediate the conflict.

The car stopped outside the Dukedom, and Spike opened the window to adjust the camera lens, and the lich gave a final reprimand to the crowd: "Although this is not Locke Park, there are not so many rules, but there are some problems that you better be aware of." ”

"One, don't look at others lightly, don't talk to people standing on the side of the road; Two, don't leave the team, then maybe your designer sneakers and cameras will be snatched away, and three, maybe you will be beaten up for accidentally looking at some guy's horse - well, that won't happen today, because I guess when you show your identity, they will kneel and lick ......"

"So many questions?" West said impatiently, "Just start fighting, as long as I don't use my gun, I can shoot ten." ”

The lich laughed and said, "Actually, I'm joking, since you're really here, it means that you have enough respect for the dukedom, so that you are already worthy of our respect, but you must not provoke others in the field, because there will be a few psychopaths anywhere." ”

"I'm an NBA neurosis." West added, "Huh. ”

Chamberlain had no choice but to spread his hands and get out of the car first, Rose followed closely behind, his waist was straight, and when he saw this, Chamberlain pulled him and said in a low voice: "Don't go so fast, don't be so fucking bite, you're an old man now, OK?" Old man! If you look at Kevin, it's very similar. ”

Durant hunched his back slightly, slowly and leisurely walked in a figure-eight step, with his hands behind his waist, really like a little old man.

West is very deep in the play, he walks slowly, occasionally coughs twice, and then spits.

The lich whispered, "Delonti, Suzhì, don't spit out and whisper...... Damn, don't swallow it, it's disgusting, you might as well spit on the ground. ”

West swallowed a mouthful of phlegm hard, and Curry was about to vomit.

There are a total of 48 hoops and 24 courts on the court, which is already a relatively large basketball court, and it is the time when there are many people at night, and because the All-Star Game is held in Dallas, many fans are admiring it, and there are people playing on 24 courts, and each court is surrounded by dense people.

Chamberlain was tall and tall, and found the most suitable venue for Spike's video, and then squeezed in and started to watch the game, everyone else was around, and the lich looked at the people playing inside, nodded and said, "This is Tony's field with the bald head, yes, this guy is very good, and he is not dirty, let's play with them." ”

Blair and the others were very strong, and they pushed and shoved and squeezed in, and someone frowned dissatisfiedly: "Man-well, old man, what are you doing here?" This is a street court OK? This is a sports place for young people, so you should go to the senior room to play billiards, and of course, it is also a good choice to drink coffee and chat. ”

Chamberlain coughed, deliberately said in a thick voice: "We're here to play, boy, don't look down on us......"

"Damn it, take your hand away." Curry turned around and pushed a skinny black kid next to him.

The people around laughed and whistled, and the kid who was pushed by Curry raised his hand and put it in front of his nose to sniff, and grinned: "Wow, it smells good, if my nose is okay, this is Chanel's golden beauty that has just been launched, I like it very much." ”

"This girl's voice seems to be very rough." Someone asked suspiciously.

Curry was glared at by Chamberlain, so he had to say in a delicate voice: "You bad silver, don't touch people." ”

"Vomit ......" Rose craned his neck, and Chamberlain glared at him again, the lich on the verge of laughing mad.

The court is five-on-five, one team wears the Mavericks' jersey, the other team is hip-hop clothing, the former plays more formal, tactical, commanding, and small-scale cooperation, and the latter is a standard streetball game, whoever gets the ball will come to attack brilliantly, regardless of gains and losses.

The Mavericks should be outside fans, five people play well, at first glance they are people who often play together, and the cooperation is quite tacit, one of them has a large range of transfer balls, and the ball is transferred in the hands of five people in turn before it is thrown by a white shooter, which is very reasonable.

But the hip-hop street players are obviously more adapted to this kind of game, they are stronger, the gorgeous style of the ball makes the scene sound screams from time to time, the advance speed is fast, the body is also better, the breakthrough is fast, the explosiveness is strong, although the fight is more chaotic, but in the end, with a bald head turned and dunked, it was they who won.

The Mavericks also looked very happy, and someone picked up a stack of money from under the basket, handed it to the bald man who had just been deducted, and said, "Man, we lost, it's yours." ”

The bald man smiled lazily, pulled out a Franklin (100 yuan bill) from it, and said, "It's rare to see a fat sheep like you, do you want to play two more games?" ”

He handed the money to the little man and said, "Go buy some 'hot drinks', and I'll treat our distant visitors to a drink." ”

The Mavericks team took the lead by a middle-aged man, he shook his hand with a smile, and said, "Don't play, we can't do it, this is already the limit." ”

The bald man nodded regretfully and muttered, "That's a pity, okay, it doesn't matter, you wait here for a while, my brother went buy a drink, let's have a drink, you are southerners, right?" ”

"Florida's." A young man laughed.

"Is there anyone else fighting us?" The bald man asked, looking around.

The onlookers booed, and a hot girl raised her middle finger and shouted: "Bald Tony, we are all regulars, so we won't be slaughtered by you, who doesn't know that you are hungry wolves in the ducal territory?" ”

The bald man was not angry, in fact, the girl said this, but praised them from another angle, the bald Tony came up and punched the girl, and said with a smile: "Don't be like this, baby, save me some face, if I can't make money, then I can only take you to the motel to open a room, the bed in that place is not comfortable to sleep on." ”

Boos and screams rang out, and the young man next to the girl smiled and raised Tony's middle finger.

At this time, a tall figure walked out slowly, it was Chamberlain, and he said with a smile: "Young man, how about we do a game?" Your gamble seems to be quite big? That's better, I like to play big. ”

Chamberlain came out with a backlight, the bald Tony didn't see his appearance clearly at first, but he felt very tall, so he was a little cautious, and when he saw his old appearance, Tony laughed, waved his hand and said: "I said grandpa, if you don't have money for dinner, then I can treat you to some pizza, who doesn't know that my bald Tony is the softest?" But playing, forget it. ”

Others laughed, "Yes, this is not a street walk, this is street basketball!" ”

"Why is there still an old man here? Are they tired of being crooked? ”

"Wow, does anyone think this is a nursing home, you went to the wrong door, grandpa, I have to say, you went to the wrong door!"

Chamberlain scratched his head, the wig was close to the scalp, it was a little itchy, uncomfortable, he knew that what you said was useless, so he took out his wallet and took out a roll of banknotes from it, but instead of green dollars, but brownish-red ones.

"We lose, and the money is yours." Chamberlain said with a smile, shook his hand, and threw the banknote at the bald man.

The big man opened the banknote in confusion and muttered, "What kind of money is this?" 500's? ”

"Damn, it's the euro!" One of the black boys next to Tony, the bald head, said, "God, five hundred euros!" Ten sheets, that's five thousand euros! Not a small amount. ”

Tony, the bald head, was also taken aback, he looked at the brand-new banknote in his hand and asked, "This is the euro?" With such a large face value, it can't be fake, right? ”

One of the Mavericks jersey players who had lost earlier came out and said, "I'll see, I'm in Bank of America's European Foreign Trade Department, and I see a lot of these guys every day." ”

He took the money and looked at it one by one, nodded and said, "What a guy." ”

The bald Tony was still not convinced, he looked at the calm Chamberlain suspiciously, and said, "You two gangs, you can't be a gang, right?" ”

The lich came out and smiled, "Tony, you coward, when will you not want the money in front of you?" I can vouch for it, it's real money, and these guys of mine -- my guy's grandfather, used to be in Europe, that is, France, and they all had euros on them. ”

With the lich guarantee, the bald Tony of course no longer doubted it, but he still threw the money to Chamberlain, shook his head and said: "We don't play with children and old people, and it's not glorious to win, so you should go back to retire with this money." ”

The lich laughed, "You're not scared, are you? To be honest, these friends of mine are all rich people, and they have a lot of pension money. And, to be sure, they're real basketball veterans that will blow your mind. ”

Five thousand euros is a huge temptation, equivalent to more than a dozen times the average gamble, and the bald Tony's men are a little hesitant.

The white youth, who had previously recognized the euro, encouraged the bald Tony and said, "Boss, these old men must be rich, what do you see they are wearing?" Armani's tracksuits! I think they're just trying to have a good time, they're just going to get someone to play with. ”

A strong black man frowned and said, "Foie gras, don't talk nonsense, we listen to the boss." But Boss, I think it's better for us to play with them, and I'm sure we won't hurt them too hard. ”

Tony's mind oscillated between his conscience and five thousand euros, and then he undoubtedly fell to five thousand euros, and said, "Okay, bet, what team are you?" ”

Chamberlain smiled slightly and said, "We are the old man's army. ”
