At night, Bai Qiang lay on the soft bed of a five-star hotel, imagining how he would become a rich man:
There are so many beauties around, they eat abalone and lobster every day, drive luxury cars when going out, and shop with their faces instead of credit cards, it’s so cool!
In the rental house, Mei Xiaoyan wandered back and forth holding a note.
It turned out that the note Bai Qiang left on the dining table was his WhatsApp number (WhatsApp is the foreign version of WeChat, a chat app often used by friends in daily life).
At this moment, how much she wanted to see Bai Qiang applying as a friend on her phone——
I just waited all night and still couldn't get it!
"Maybe he is too busy and doesn't have time to join me."
"Maybe he hasn't finished training yet and doesn't have time to look at his phone!"
"Maybe he's picking up girls in bars in Cleveland!"
Mei Xiaoyan looked for various reasons and tried to convince herself, but with little effect!
Although it has been said that heroes have struggled with beauty since ancient times, it seems now——
Sometimes beauties also have a hard time with heroes!
Bai Qiang is tall and powerful, and he is also a professional player. Would that girl not love him——
Infatuated women are always so cute!
…
Rockets Mortgage Arena (formerly Quicken Loans Arena).
Bai Qiang arrived at the arena three hours ago and started warming up before the game.
In his opinion, his task tonight is very difficult, because he has to contend with two centers in the league who are very capable of protecting the frame——
Drummond and Allen.
Although these two have average offensive abilities, their defense must not be underestimated!
In terms of height and tonnage, Zhuang Shen and Allen are not inferior to Bai Qiang at all.
Moreover, they have played in the NBA for many years and have much richer game experience than Bai Qiang!
A tough battle is inevitable!
With the help of his sparring partner, Bai Qiang practiced his inside skills.
The steps and hook finish at the basket. Although Bai Qiang's movements are relatively stiff, his hit rate is quite impressive!
A comprehensive center player must not only be able to dunk, but must also learn the steps inside.
Considering Bai Qiang's current position in the team, it is unrealistic to keep shooting from mid- to long-range——
Irving's comeback is bound to take away some of his ball rights.
Therefore, he must be more active in grabbing offensive rebounds in order to get more independent offensive opportunities!
…
One hour before kickoff.
Former Nets player Jarrett Allen walked into the arena and walked up to Bai Qiang to communicate with him.
Allen works hard for the Nets, but his loyalty cannot compare with capital——
In order to pursue Harden, the team directly put him on the trade shelf.
Therefore, the so-called one person, one city is only for those talented players who have become famous at a young age. Ordinary players cannot even control their own destiny——
Where does the loyalty come from!
This game is Allen's first game against his old club after leaving the Nets.
"Dude! That's right! My name is Jarrett Allen."
Bai Qiang performed bravely in these two games, and the media in Brooklyn frantically reported and promoted it.
Coupled with the unique skin color of Asians and the unique face of Chinese people, Allen recognized him at a glance in the crowd.
"Yes, man! I'm Bai Qiang!"
Bai Qiang doesn't mind making friends.
When you are out and about, having one more friend means more protection!
"I have watched your game videos. You are really a talented player, both offensively and defensively!"
Don’t take the bragging to heart before the game. As the saying goes:
"If you want to destroy it, you must first make it crazy!"
"Just perform normally, there's nothing to brag about!"
Bai Qiang replied calmly.
He won't lose himself just because of a few compliments from his opponent!
"Man! You have a lot of personality. However, after this game, you will understand what 'there is a world outside the world, and there are people outside the world'!"
Sure enough, this guy has no good intentions!
"Then let's give it a try and see who among us can have the last laugh!"
Trash talking before the game is an essential part of the game. If you talk to each other and work on your mentality, you may get twice the result with half the effort!
…
Half an hour before the game, the Nets locker room.
Head coach Nash is arranging his troops. Today is the first game of the Big Three, one of the most watched games in the world.
The management gave Nash a fatal order: only win, no defeat!
The salary of the three big guys accounts for more than half of the team's space. If they don't produce some results, wouldn't it make people laugh?
After careful consideration, Nash announced the five starting players for this game, which was simply unexpected.
Nash: "Today our lineup has a little change, the starting players:
Irving, Harden, Durant, Jeff Green and DeAndre Jordan. "
Bai Qiang's expression froze instantly. What the hell?
Did Nash get kicked in the head by O'Neal's donkey?
Or did he get caught in the door of Quicken Loans Arena and lose his brain stem?
Knowing that the opponent's inside players are stronger than his own team, he benches the team's strongest center——
This is what people do!
Just as Bai Qiang was about to question Nash, Jordan took the lead and said:
"Coach, I will guard the inside and do my job of protecting the frame!"
Jordan was flattered because he was a substitute in the game the day before yesterday——
Humble status!
Today, he is back where he belongs again!
"Crab meat! Do you think you can compete with Draymond and Allen with your strength? Do you think you can protect the Nets' penalty area? What's the difference between putting you in the starting position and raising a white flag to surrender! "
Bai Qiang never expected that he would be directly guarded by the head coach.
"Hmph! Bai Qiang, you only played two games, don't take yourself too seriously! I'm an All-Star center!"
Little Jordan changed his usual expression and replied unceremoniously.
This is true. Jordan was also a flying presence in the Clippers back then. He has a place in the city of alley-oops——
It was also that year that he was selected as an All-Star!
However, things are not what they used to be, and time is not forgiving!
You are no longer the flying star you once were, age has deprived you of your talent!
"If Chris Paul hadn't fed you the ball back then, would you have been selected as an All-Star? You had the nerve to show off the honors you earned. It's so embarrassing!"
Bai Qiang retorted unceremoniously, his trash talk always hurts every word!
Just when the two were having a heated argument, Nash said:
"Bai, it was our coaching staff's decision to put you on the bench after careful consideration. We have our own arrangements, so please stop complaining!"
Now that they had reached this point, Bai Qiang stopped arguing with them and left one sentence:
"Little Jordan, good luck to you!"
He walked out of the locker room. Bai Qiang didn't want to stay in this smoky place for a moment longer.
…
Every NBA regular season game will have a grand pre-game entrance ceremony.
The DJ will stand in the center of the arena and use his rich voice to introduce the starting players of the two teams.
Players will run into the stadium from the tunnel to the cheers of the audience.
The Cavaliers' starting players are Collin Sexton, Isaac Okoro, Cedi Osman, Larry Nance Jr., and Andrew Drummond.
Nets players ran onto the court as the crowd booed.
Fans always use various means to disrupt the mentality of the enemy players before the game, and do their best to win!
The Nets' starting players are Kyrie Irving, James Harden, Kevin Durant, Jeff Green, and DeAndre Jordan.
When the commentator saw this starting list, he couldn't help but wonder:
Why is Bai Qiang, the most outstanding performer, not among the starting players?
O'Neal: "What are the Nets doing? How come Bai was kicked off the starting lineup?"
"He might be injured!"
Buckley said smoothly.
Bai Qiang is not only powerful, but he also has a way with people.
Chinese culture has lasted for five thousand years. In the process of historical evolution, many excellent traditions have been left behind, but they are also mixed with dross.
The wine table culture is the most prominent in China. No matter what position you are in, you must learn to toast and flatter your superiors——
boy!
This problem also exists in the Magnesium country on the other side of the ocean.
You must respect your boss enough, because your life and death are in his hands!
The higher the rank, the higher the rank!
In the team, the head coach is the boss. Except for the star player, other players must obey his decisions unconditionally.
Otherwise, I will just hide you in the snow, regardless of whether you play well or not.
As for Bai Qiang being hidden in the snow, it is indeed a mystery!
He has a high emotional intelligence, has not been disrespectful to the coach before, and is very harmonious with his teammates!
"There was no report before the game that Bai was injured!"
"I don't care now, Charles, the donkey has been brought to you, it's time for you to fulfill your promise!"
O'Neill said with a smirk.
A large part of the fun in his life comes from playing with his old friend Barkley!
"Oh my gard! Shaq, you're trying to kill me!"
Barkley patted O'Neal on the shoulder and smiled awkwardly.
"As a gentleman, a horse is hard to catch! Charles, stop inking and take action!"
After that, O'Neill went out and brought the donkey in and brought it to Barkley.
This donkey must be kissed. O'Neal has spent all his money——
We can't let him go to waste!
The atmosphere has been heightened to this point. Without a kiss, how can I still be involved in the commentary industry in the future?
He closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, "mua!"
"Hahahahahaha..."
O'Neal smiled like a 400-pound child while picking up his Apple 14 and recording the beautiful moments!
Buckley kissed the donkey's butt twice, which is more classic than Liu Bei's three visits to the thatched cottage——
The NBA’s eternal laughing stock is none other than him!
