Chapter 675: A New Journey
Ji Guoyan yelled, and the entire locker room of the Clippers instantly fell silent.
The Clippers players all looked at Ji Guoqiu, and after a second or two, a ghost crying wolf howl suddenly sounded in the entire locker room!
Little Jordan rushed up in two steps, hugged Ji Guoqiu and kissed him fiercely, and laughed: "Panda, welcome home!" He didn't say it properly, but everyone knew what he meant.
Billups and Hill pulled the ribbons in their hands and stepped forward to spray Ji Guoqiu's face with colored stripes.
"Captain, are you back on a transfer?"
After Little Jordan let go of Ji Guoqiu, he said another inappropriate word, but no one would care about his brain-dead at the moment, anyway, it wasn't a day or two.
Ji Guoqiu entered the locker room and was touched by his former teammates again.
Looking at these familiar teammates, Ji Guoqiu even heard many shouts of "captain", his eyes were a little red, and he said after a long time: "Guys, I'm still worried that you won't welcome me." ”
Ji Guoyi stood aside and interjected: "How come, we are worried about the championship speech for a while, and suddenly thought that you are next door, so we asked the boss to pull you over, and you have to address the fans for us in a while, anyway, you have been doing these jobs all the time." ”
The Clippers players laughed, and Ballmer said, "Panda, you're going to have to say goodbye to the Clippers fans in a moment, they're waiting for your 'goodbye.'" ”
When Ji Guoqiu heard this, he thought that he really didn't officially say goodbye to the Clippers players and fans, which was a very serious problem, and immediately said: "I'm sorry, I'll know what to do in a while." ”
The panda caught up with his former teammates in the locker room. It was soon time for the home team players to play.
At this time, Ji Guoqiu had already worn the Clippers jersey in the color of the Nets. One looks out of place with the rest of his teammates. But that's just how well prepared the Clippers are. If Ji Guoqiu wears a jersey that is exactly the same as them, it will be the turn of New Jersey fans to be unhappy.
It's still the familiar tunnel of players, and the familiar staff, all of the Staples staff and security guards along the way who are greeting him and helping the Clippers clear the tunnel of the players, and this time none of the reporters are allowed to film and interview in the tunnel of the players.
The Clippers fans in Staples Arena did not intend to make Ji Guoqiu look good like Cleveland fans.
Opposite. Clippers fans have prepared a lot of posters of Ji Guoqiu, and are even ready to wait for the visiting team to enter the stadium and sing the "Panda Song" together.
Therefore, Ji Guoqiu's previous worries were superfluous, he didn't owe the Clippers anything, he and James are completely different in nature, although there are still a small number of fans who are angry about his departure, but most Clippers fans do not hate his choice, but choose to be considerate and tolerant.
The first of the Clippers to enter was still Ji Guoyi, when the light suddenly shone on the dead fox. Many Clippers fans find it strange that the core of the team is usually the last to play. But Ji Guoyi was still the first to rush out of the player tunnel as before.
The Staples Arena immediately boiled, and although they didn't know why Ji Guoyi was the first to play, they immediately let out the fiercest cheers to greet their only core.
Next, the order of the Clippers players remained unchanged from last season, with Billups being the second to appear, followed by Ray Murphy. Alan......
Until O'Neal was the last to run out, many Clippers fans felt that Ji Guoyan was too polite, and there was no need for him to give the big fat shark such a big face at this time.
O'Neal is only the third appearance in the Suns, and it seems too polite to come to the Clippers to let him enjoy the treatment of the core of the team. Besides, the big fat man didn't go out of the Clippers, on the contrary, O'Neal also scored a career-high score of 61 points on the Clippers, which is extremely hateful!
Ji Guoyi held a microphone in his hand, and when O'Neill came out, the little fox shouted at the entrance of the player's tunnel: "Which bastard hasn't come out!" ”
Ji Guoqiu was brewing his lines in the player tunnel for a while, and when he heard this voice, he suddenly cursed in his heart, the dead fox is underbeaten!
Clippers fans say our whole team is on the court, who else?
Could it still be a giant panda?
The fans were wondering, the lights on the court shone again at the entrance of the players' tunnel, and when Ji Guoqiu slowly walked out of the players' tunnel, many Clippers fans couldn't help but scream!
Clippers fans really couldn't imagine that Ji Guoqiu would return to Staples in such a way.
Especially the black Clippers jersey on his body, the main colors of the Clippers' jersey are home white and away red, there has never been a black jersey, but the eye-catching Clippers logo on the black jersey proves that it is indeed the Clippers jersey.
"Panda, come back!"
"Welcome home!!"
"Don't take that dress off!"
“…………”
After the Clippers fans reacted, the whole court was in a mess, as if it had exploded!
Ji Guoqiu waited until the fans vented for a while and the stadium was quiet a little before raising the microphone and saying: "Today, I walked into Staples with a nervous heart, just like three years ago. At that time, no one knew who I was? At the tryouts before the draft, no one said to me, 'Where should you play?' until my brother and I were disappointed, and finally an old man with a red face said to us, 'You should come to Los Angeles.'" ”
The scene camera immediately showed Dunleavy Sr., and the Staples Arena burst into warm applause.
Ji Guoqiu waited until the applause fell, and continued: "I don't know where I come from, now I am a child from Los Angeles, this is where I came out, this is where I run, this is where I cry, this is where I bleed, it will always have a special place in my heart." ”
"Then stay." There were quite a few Clippers fans shouting loudly.
Ji Guoyi shook his head at this time, raised the microphone, and interjected: "I think it's better to let him go, one day, your children may say." 'I want to see the outside world. A lifetime is so short. Why snuggle up in one place, why not go and see the outside world? If you ask me what I think of this, I'll think this kid is an idiot! ”
The giant panda was interrupted, and at the moment I really want to go up and beat the fox to death, it's too bastard!
Ji Guozhi didn't realize it, and still said: "But just like your child leaves home to go to college, sooner or later he will know that he is an idiot!" I've always believed that sooner or later that kid will know. No matter how beautiful other people's land is, it can't compare to their own nest. Since he wants to get out and see, let him go outside and see this cruel world, and I know he'll definitely come back to Los Angeles and end his career here. ”
Ji Guoqiu was already half angry in his heart, and couldn't help but scold in his heart: "Uncle Drafting, Lao Tzu's speech was messed up by you, did you bastard do it on purpose?" ”
There was laughter in the Staples Arena, although Ji Guoyi lacked morality, but he solved the trouble for the giant panda in another way. Although this style is by no means what Ji Guoqiu wants.
Amid the laughter and cheers of the crowd at Staples Arena, David Arena. Stern walked up to the center of the court. Crowning the Clippers' third championship also marks the beginning of another journey for this awesome team.
The Clippers players and Ji Guoqiu walked onto the court in turn, accepted the president's hugs and congratulations, and then received the championship ring from the team's owner Ballmer.
Ji Guoqiu was the last to take over his third championship ring, in addition to the dazzling diamond, this ring is impressively engraved with the word "sacrifice" in Chinese, which is also the first time that a championship ring is engraved in Chinese, and the two brothers of the "sacrifice" team also have a deep meaning.
The Clippers are a team that has won many championships, and most of the players showed composure when they received the championship ring. Hill was most thrilled, after all, as a player who is about to retire, this is his first championship experience in 17 years, and the whole process has been so wonderful.
O'Neill, Ray. Aaron, Iguodala and Maddie watched their teammates receive their rings on the sidelines, their eyes full of jealousy and envy. O'Neal regrets that he didn't get his fifth ring, and the other three are still empty-handed, and they chose the Clippers this summer in order to get what they want this time next year, just like their teammates in front of them.
When the Clippers players received their championship rings one by one, Ji Guoqiu still left the court after thanking the Clippers fans, and he now does not belong to the Clippers at all.
Ji Guoyi then walked to the center of the stadium again and addressed the audience on behalf of the whole team, announcing that he had officially become the sole owner of the stadium.
After briefly expressing his gratitude to the audience, Ji Guoyi glanced at the ring in his hand and said emotionally: "It's so beautiful, it's been an incredible journey, it has left us with good memories, and I hope we can play a great season again in the new year." ”
After Ji Guosha's speech, the Clippers players temporarily withdrew, and they were ready to start defending their titles in the new season.
Charles. Barkley looked at the Clippers players who received the rings and said: "If the Clippers want to defend their title this year, it is not ordinary, and the schedule alone is enough for them to drink a pot." Originally, in the new season's schedule, the league has made a lot of efforts to reduce the physical burden on the players and reduce the possible injuries. For example, the average number of "back-to-backs" (games played on two consecutive days) per team has decreased to 18 from 19 last season. ”
Kenny. Smith also said: "Yes, this is the best schedule so far, with the most difficult five days and four games and back-to-backs being the lowest ever, minimizing the travel distance of the teams and giving the teams as much rest as possible. ”
Charles. Barkley shook his head and said: "It's a pity that as the defending champions, the Clippers are being "taken care of" and they will play 20 "back-to-back" games, the most in the league. According to the data, the defending champion Clippers will need to fly a total of about 85,000 kilometers in the new season, which is the longest flight distance of the 30 teams. But I think it's better to target Miami or Chicago than the Clippers, who know they're the best team to win the championship. ”
Kenny. Smith looked at the cunning big ass and said helplessly: "You just want me to say that the league doesn't want the Clippers to win four consecutive championships, right?" ”
Charles. Barkley laughed, "yes, you don't care about saying it anyway." And I don't think the league is targeting the Clippers, it's that it doesn't want a team to dominate for that long. ”
After the two talked nonsense, the 2010-11 NBA regular season finally officially began.
The Los Angeles Clippers and the New Jersey Nets met head-to-head today, not only for the first official game of the new season, but also for the head of the new season. Stern presided over the championship ring presentation ceremony for the last time as NBA commissioner, and starting next year, Xiao Hua will gradually replace David Brown. Stern was present on such an occasion.
The New Jersey Nets soon appeared, and Ji Guoqiu had changed into the Nets' away jersey, which was seven points similar in style and tone to the Spurs' jersey, and the tone of the Nets jersey was basically all black, which looked relatively monotonous and had no bright spots.
Nets starting lineup: Steve. Nash, Wesley. Matthews, Kyle. Korver, Ji Guoqiu, Brooke. Lopez.
The Zen master does not plan to let their No. 5 rookie start, even if this young man's performance in the preseason is not bad, but the triangle offense has high requirements for the movement of players on the court, and must form a triangle with Ji Guoqiu and Nash anytime and anywhere. Now Paul. George is inexperienced on the defensive end, inconsistent on the offensive end, and not comfortable with NBA-level tempo. It doesn't matter if he starts on a weak team, but he certainly can't play a starting role on a strong team. Korver has been much more consistent than he is.
But Paul. George's potential is clearly stronger than Korver's, as even pseudo-fans can tell. The Nets have this little guy who plays well on the defensive end, and he has the ability to be a big man on the front line. Secondly, the outside projection ability is also good, and the athleticism can also enter the ranks of the excellent.
In the eyes of the Zen master, Paul. George: This is a bit of a Pippen-like character. The Nets are now ready to develop him into a second-in-command with excellent defensive ability, excellent off-ball running, excellent open cut scoring, excellent fast-break counterattack, and accurate three-point line shots.
If all goes well, Paul. George is likely to be the second leader of the Nets after Nash ages.
On the other side, the defending champion Clippers sent their starting lineup: Chauncey. Billups, Ray. Aaron, Andrey. Iguodala, Ji Guoyi, Shaq. O'neill.
The Animal Brothers are in such a starting lineup, and the two animals will have a head-to-head encounter today.
Many fans want to see if the final result of this contest will be the elder brother pressing the younger brother, or the younger brother pressing the elder brother? (To be continued......)
