As soon as the league's notice was issued, Nash decided to return immediately!
They didn't stay too long in this city because everything here made them feel depressed.
The Nets soldiers boarded the plane back to Brooklyn, filled with expectations.
After the plane took off, Bai Qiang sat in his seat and looked at the sea of clouds outside the window.
He felt a sense of relief that they could finally leave this suffocating city.
This road trip is not too bad for Bai Qiang:
While playing in a nightclub, he was chased and intercepted by extreme fans, and was even considered a fight by the local police;
I wanted to avenge my shame at the North Shore Garden Arena, but I never thought that there would be another riot among the fans...
At the same time, Bai Qiang imagined that they would receive a warm welcome back to Brooklyn and that they would once again become the heroes of the Nets.
When the plane landed at Brooklyn Airport, fans were waiting outside the airport to welcome their hero back.
They waved flags and shouted slogans to embolden the Nets players.
The fans are crazy and they clearly know:
The home team will sweep their first-round opponents at the Barclays Center!
They chanted slogans confidently and cheered for the Nets.
Bai Qiang got off the plane and saw this scene, and a warm current surged in his heart.
He felt deeply that they loved their team so much, and the team brought that love home with them.
Fans flocked to the airport and surrounded the airport, as if to welcome the return of a national hero.
As Nets players walked out of the airport, fans cheered and sang the team anthem loudly.
They lifted the players into the air and the cheers were deafening, shaking all of Brooklyn.
The players left signatures, sneakers, jerseys, etc. as souvenirs for the fans.
Because of the strong support of fans, the Brooklyn Nets can show their power!
Nash briefly made arrangements for tomorrow's war, then dismissed the players and went back to their homes.
So tired!
You should all go home and have a good sleep to relieve your fatigue!
Bai Qiang got into a taxi and soon disappeared into the night.
His current mental state makes driving a car at night prone to accidents.
Other players also left separately.
The Nets' coaching staff stayed in the locker room and continued to discuss adjustments to the team's starting lineup.
Bai Qiang's explosive performance in three consecutive games has been deeply imprinted on the hearts of the coaches.
But Nash always disagreed with Bai Qiang returning to the starting lineup. He was too arrogant!
"Okay, I understand your thoughts, and I will think about it carefully!"
"You are all tired, go home and rest quickly!" Nash said.
"See you tomorrow Steve!"
The coaching staff said goodbye to Nash and disappeared into the night.
At this time, Nash was the only one standing there in the locker room, with some inexplicable light shining in his eyes.
He seemed to be thinking about something, and seemed to be waiting for something.
Suddenly, he heard footsteps, looked up, and found that Bai Qiang was back.
"Steve, I want to talk to you." Bai Qiang said.
Nash smiled slightly and motioned for Bai Qiang to sit down.
The two began to talk about basketball and the future of the Nets.
The locker room was filled with laughter and laughter, as if everything was perfect.
Let go of grudges with a smile!
"I must admit that I used to have some prejudice against Asian players." Nash admitted, "But I now understand that only strength is valued on the basketball court, regardless of the player's skin color."
Bai Qiang was very surprised. He didn't expect Nash to admit his mistakes so frankly.
Nash continued: "I used to think that black players and white players had physical and talent advantages over Asian players, but I now understand that this idea is wrong."
Bai Qiang nodded, he understood what Nash meant.
Nash continued: "I understand now that we are all equal, no matter the color of our skin. I hope we can abandon the prejudices of the past and work together for the future of the Nets."
Bai Qiang was very relieved, and the grievances in his heart dissipated.
It is inevitable for a person to make no mistakes in his life!
If you realize your mistakes, correct them and we will still be good friends!
"Steve, thank you for admitting your mistakes." Bai Qiang said,
"Actually, each of us has biases, which is normal. However, we need to recognize our own biases and work hard to change them."
Nash nodded. He felt that Bai Qiang's words made sense.
"Okay, it's getting late, you should go home and rest early!" Nash said.
Bai Qiang shook hands with Nash and left the locker room.
Nash stood alone in the locker room. He looked at Bai Qiang's leaving figure, and his heart was filled with emotion.
He realized that his previous prejudices were wrong, and he decided to treat every player more fairly in the future, regardless of their skin color.
…
The next day.
Outside the Barclays Center, a piece of news quickly spread among the fans——
Bai Qiang will return to the team's starting lineup!
The news was like a bomb that instantly detonated throughout Brooklyn.
"I can't believe my ears!" one fan said excitedly.
"Is this true? Bai Qiang is going back to the starting lineup?" Another fan also asked in disbelief.
"It's absolutely true! I've verified it with the Nets' public relations department, and it's true!" a die-hard Nets fan assured, patting his chest.
"Awesome! With Bai Qiang starting, the Nets will definitely go further!" Another fan shouted excitedly.
…
"Aqiang, the Nets have re-adjusted the team's starting lineup."
Mei Xiaoyan's voice was not loud, but it reached Bai Qiang's ears clearly.
Bai Qiang crawled out of bed. He opened his eyes with a surprised look on his face.
"Has the starting lineup been adjusted?" Bai Qiang asked while washing up.
Mei Xiaoyan nodded, knowing that this news was very important to Bai Qiang.
Bai Qiang stopped what he was doing, turned around and looked at Mei Xiaoyan, his eyes shining with anticipation.
"Tell me who are the specific people?" Bai Qiang asked.
Mei Xiaoyan told Bai Qiang the list, "James, Kevin, Kerry, Harris and Bai Qiang."
Hearing his name, Bai Qiang laughed loudly and said:
"Everything that belongs to me will eventually come back to me!"
Mei Xiaoyan looked at Bai Qiang, her eyes shining with happiness.
She knew that Bai Qiang's efforts had paid off.
She hugged Bai Qiang tightly, and the two kissed passionately.
"Aqiang, you have to work harder!" Mei Xiaoyan said coquettishly.
"Of course!" Bai Qiang said confidently.
After the two made love, Mei Xiaoyan went to prepare breakfast.
Bai Qiang sat on the sofa, watching the news on TV, filled with anticipation.
He knew that he had to prove everything with his strength!
