"Babbling~~~"

On this day, at the center of the Sacramento Kings team, a suona team appeared. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Huh? Is it a holiday today? Chinese Festivals?? ”

Many Saskatchewan residents stopped to watch, puzzled one by one, and couldn't understand what the team was doing.

Sacramento is one of the earliest American cities where Chinese people entered, and as early as the gold rush era, many Chinese went to the United States to pan for gold for a living. The earliest Chinatowns and Chinese settlements in the United States have taken root in Sathau.

Sacramento, known to the Chinese as Sacramento, was once the first choice for Chinese people in China after going to the United States, because there is a strong Chinese atmosphere here, and Chinese culture can be seen everywhere.

As the only NBA team in Saskat, the Kings will also hold some special celebrations for Chinese festivals from time to time. At the entrance of the Kings team center, it is not uncommon for something with Chinese elements to appear. People here are also accustomed to this, but they don't know what the many festivals of the Chinese people are, and how to spend a certain festival.

But today's situation is a little different, the suona is a musical instrument that profoundly represents Chinese culture, but it is not accompanied by a dragon and lion dance and other scenes, which makes Lao Mei a little confused - is this a festival, or is it a drill?

"Hey, the wind instrument!"

A curious young man couldn't bear the doubts in his heart, and stepped forward to ask a Chinese who was playing suona and joy, "What is the festival today?" Why is this thing blowing all of a sudden?? ”

"We don't know!"

This suona hand is also straightforward, shrugged and said: "It's not the team's call, it seems that some players called us, saying that they are going to have a 'ceremony' to set off the atmosphere!" ”

"Are you going in? Can you take two photos and tweet them after a while, let's also see the ceremony?? The American guy was a little interested in Chinese culture and asked excitedly.

"It depends!" The suona hand nodded and said: "But the gold lord said before, the innermost part will not let us in, just blow at the door of the training ground, and the sound will come in." ”

It's weird.

People watched curiously as the suona team walked into the center of the team, and many people took out their mobile phones on the spot to look through them to see if there was any news on the official Twitter of the Kings.

However, after some searching, nothing was found, and the fans could not enter and leave the team center casually, so it could only be regarded as a not very important ceremony, and the team did not want to make a noise, so it passed.

"After all, there is an extra Chinese in the team recently!"

When Gu Yu first came to the Kings, he only caused some shock in the local Chinese circle, and did not attract the attention of the local Lao Mei.

However, after a period of time, Gu Yu's wild words continued, and he was really able to do what he said, which made Lao Mei appreciate it very much, and Gu Yu's fame gradually increased.

Especially through media reports, Gu Yu's character of daring to act and dare to say anything has won the love of most Lao Mei with a strong heroic plot. Although it is not known whether Gu Yu can stay in the team in the end, in the hearts of Sacheng fans, Gu Yu is already a member of the team.

At the same time, inside the training ground.

"Come on, come on, sit in a row and eat fruits, everyone has a share haha!"

On the Taishi chair, Gu Yu sat on his back, laughing non-stop, while taking a cup of tea from Evans, who had a black line, and handed it to his teammates around him, with the sound of suona getting closer and closer outside the court, the scene was so lively.

"What the hell is this ......??"

Outside the training ground, a person pushed the door in, and was dumbfounded when he saw this scene.

This person's name is Jeff Petri, who was the manager of the Kings team at the time, and he was put on a role by Kahn before, and it was this guy who "took over" Gu Yu from Kahn.

Although Petri was tricked by Karn this time, this man's resume is not simple.

Petri, who was born in 1948, was also a professional footballer. In the 70s, after graduating from the prestigious Princeton University, Petri was selected by the Trail Blazers with the eighth pick in the first round and began his career.

With a height of 6 feet 4 inches and accurate long-range projection, Petri made his debut at the peak, and in his first year with the Trail Blazers, he averaged 24.8 points per game, sharing the honor of the year's rookie of the year with Kauf Daynes.

Petri scored 51 points twice in a single game, the Trail Blazers' team record for points scored in a single game at the time, until years later when it was broken by Damon Stoudemire. McNewlin, a Rockets player and defensive titan who scored 51 points above his head, once said that "the only thing that can prevent Petri from entering the Hall of Fame is injury", which shows that Petri's strength is definitely not simple.

However, what people didn't expect was that Newlin was a prophecy, and Petri had been plagued by injuries since his rookie season. Recurring knee injuries, especially the left knee injury in 1974, nearly deprived Petri of his athleticism and reduced him to a fixed-point pitcher.

The glory days of a generation of scoring maniacs hit a major blow when they were traded by the Trail Blazers to the Atlanta Hawks after he refused surgery and fell out with management in his sixth professional season. During one season with the Hawks, Petri underwent three knee surgeries, and repeated injuries prevented him from holding on, so he chose to retire.

Ironically, in the season that Petri left the Trail Blazers, the Portland Trail Blazers, led by Mo-Lucas, Bill Wharton, Hollins and other strong players, won the only championship that year and in the history of the Trail Blazers.

Unfortunately, the championship trophy does not have the name of Petri, Portland's scoring maniac and former team hero.

The Portland Trail Blazers, the team that stood in the torn city, seemed to have been cursed by Petri since that time, and became one of the countless "ifs" in the long history of the NBA...... Then ......" is one of the most important protagonists in the story.

Incidentally, the season when Petri completely lost his athleticism and chose to retire, a shooting guard who played for the Phoenix Suns at the time reached the peak of his career.

The player entered the league a year later than Petri and was finally traded after three years on the bench and began to shine with the Suns. With excellent and well-rounded offensive skills and a very classical style of play, he averaged 25.2 points per game in the '77-'78 season, ranking sixth on the scoring list that year, replacing Petri's position in previous years.

The people ahead of him, including "Iceman" George Gervin, "Skywalker" David Thompson, "Scoring Maniac" Bob McAdoo, "Skyhook" Abdul-Jabbar, and "Rocket Elf" Kelvin Murphy, each name is a shocking scorer.

This man's name is Paul Westphal.

"The tea is too strong!"

On the Taishi chair, Gu Yu took a sip of the tea handed by Evans, immediately put down the teacup, frowned and shook his head: "Qingcha Qingcha, Qingcha, Qingcha, Qingcha??" Chinese culture is very broad ♂ and profound, okay? ”

"You wait for me...... Lean ......"

Evans was furious, but kept his promise, and made another cup of tea amid the laughter of everyone and handed it over.

This will not work.

On the sidelines, Petri couldn't stand it, because of his identity and because he didn't understand the situation, he couldn't go forward and say it directly. After thinking about it, he turned around and walked to the coach's office.

Evans is also the core of the team, a future superstar, to let a second-round pick bully like this?

“…… This is absolutely not a no-go! ”
