Dallas, Texas. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In this once desolate land, the legend of the cowboy spreads.

In the West, livestock farming developed after the Civil War, and vast ranches were established on the land, where adventurous young men, defecting soldiers, freed black slaves, and Mexicans from the South converged on the land, whip in hand and revolver in hand, working for the ranch.

The desolate and vast western land has long had the wild and free character of cowboys.

And the Dallas Mavericks, the basketball team that joined the NBA in 1980, inherited the cowboy spirit of Dallas and spread wild and uninhibited blood.

After a rough start in the '80s and ups and downs in the '90s, the Dallas Mavericks finally reached two important turning points for the franchise. One was in the summer of '98, when Dirk Nowitzki, a 20-year-old boy from Germany, landed in Dallas, and the other was two years later, when Mark Cuban, a nouveau riche from Dallas, bought the Mavericks.

It was like a fateful encounter, and the combination of the two ushered in a new era for the Mavericks.

Since the beginning of the century, the Mavericks have been among the ranks of Western Conference playoff teams, and their record has been steady in the past three years, and they even reached the Western Conference finals in 03, which became the beginning of the bull and horse war.

The media unintentionally played up before the game with the Warriors, which led to the anger of Dallas, and the whole Mavericks team was holding back a breath of anger, wasn't it that he was accidentally brushed down by the Kings in the first round last year, as for bullying him so much?

And the Warriors feel that the whole Mavericks team is really a bit of a short circuit, especially Dampier, who just left the Warriors this season, Richardson and several players still feel that he can't stand the Warriors in their hearts, and now they are coming to spray new Warriors players, and they can't stand it when they see others playing better than him, what is it.

Half past six in the evening, the center arena of the American airline.

Before the start of the game, Devin Harris walked over to greet Jandy.

"Devon, long time no see." Yang Di shook hands with him.

"Yang, it's too big." Devin Harris said with a wry smile that he remained silent in the war of words between the Mavericks and the Warriors, but at the same time he was the most uncomfortable one in the middle.

"How was it to play in the NBA for more than a month?" Yang Di asked.

Devin Harriston had a very strange feeling in his heart, he remembered that when Yang Di first came to the stadium to report, in the past few years, Yang Di has matured a lot, thinner and taller than before, there is an obvious gap between the two, if Yang Di stayed in school at that time, would there be such a development?

He shook his head, shook the strange thought out of his head, and then replied in as calm a tone as possible: "It's okay, it's completely different from when I played in college, the pace here is a little faster, the defense is more oppressive, and every opponent I meet will have a skill, full of difficulty and challenges." ”

"Come on, I think with your speed, it will definitely be more powerful in the future." Yang Di was very impressed by Harris's dribbling breakthrough and shooting speed, which belonged to the fastest among so many NBA players he had seen.

"You too, I'm optimistic that the Warriors will make the playoffs this season." Harris said politely, and then he stared at him and said seriously: "Yang, I think you are my goal, I will go all out in today's game, you guys be careful." ”

Yang Di said proudly: "Just let the horse come!" ”

During the appearance ceremony, the DJ of Dallas introduced the Warriors players weakly, and before a Warriors jersey appeared, they would be warmly booed by the fans at the scene, and when Yang Di appeared, the boos reached an unprecedented height, as if he had seen some life-and-death enemies.

"The louder they shout, the more afraid they are of you." Richardson was worried that Yang Di was being treated like this for the first time, and he uttered a wise quote in the NBA.

Yang Di shook his head and said that he had no problem, "It's about the same as the playoffs, when I was in the Heat, I also experienced this, and these are nothing to me." ”

When the Mavericks entered the court, the boos turned into cheers.

Both starters stayed on the field.

Warriors: Derrick Fisher, Jason Richardson, Mike Dunleavy, Troy Murphy, Jandy. Mavericks: PG Darrell Armstrong, SG Michael Finley, SF Josh Howard, PF Dirk Nowitzki, C Eric Dampier.

Yang Di and Dampier stood together, and the 120-kilogram Dampier was indeed significantly stronger than Yang Di.

Dampier grinned widely, and immediately squirted: "Hey, the NBA is not a game played by yellow-skinned monkeys like you, hurry up and go back to your China!" ”

Yang Di clenched his fists and sneered, holding back his anger, thinking to himself that you should laugh, you will look good in a while. This is not the first time he has heard such overtly racist remarks, in the NBA, or in the United States as a whole, these are buried in the depths, even if they are banned on the surface, they cannot be avoided.

"Toot ~"

After the sound sounded, Yang Di jumped up and down, easily overtaking the bulky Dampier and shooting the basketball.

Fisher takes the basketball and dribbles forward.

"Three!" Fisher made a gesture to play a high three.

Yang Di ran out to do an off-ball cover for Richardson, Richardson received the ball from Fisher, took the ball from the top of the arc and cut in, sent the ball one step to follow, and easily shook off the defending Finley.

Finley gave Dampier a look and didn't need to change his guard.

Richardson made a mid-range drifting jumper, and Finley reached out to cover his eyes to interfere.

missed, rebounded and was taken by Nowitzki.

The Mavericks attacked, and the American Airlines Center arena rang out with neat cheers, and the Mavericks fans all stood up, showing enthusiasm from the west, telling visitors that this was once a dangerous area.

The Mavericks opted for Dallas' classic pick-and-roll for the positional battle, with Finley and Nowitzki with the ball on the right wing, and then Finley accelerated to break through and attract Murphy to switch defenses and return the ball to Nowitzki. Nowitzki stepped on the three-point line and misplaced the spot against Richardson.

Almost a breakaway with the ball held high, Nowitzki dribbled two steps, turned his back, and then rolled over for a backward jumper.

The arc of the shot is very high, and the basketball seems to go directly to the spotlight in the sky.

The high-arc basketball slashed through the air for a second or two before plunging into the net under the gaze of the audience, making a crisp sound.

"Wow, great ball!" The audience cheered even more enthusiastically.

The opening was a beautiful mid-range shot, and the American Airlines Center Arena was directly detonated, and the audience was even more noisy, and many people shouted, "Kill Golden State!" "Blow them up" and other very aggressive words.

In this case, everyone on the Mavericks came up with extremely aggressiveness.

After half-time, Fisher struggled to regain the ball to Richardson and almost couldn't get it straight to Finley.

Richardson opened the room for Finley to take on Finley.

He didn't really want to make a move, but in this situation, he had to strike first, lest the team be more passive. So he started to dribble straight away, and his right hand was tentatively stepped to the left and crossed over.

Finley moves fast and has a hard time dribbling with Chadson.

Richardson was squeezed into the left elbow area just in time to see Josh Howard, who had come to pack the ball in front of him, and then he jumped up and took a risky pass to Mike Dunleavy in the bottom corner.

Dunleavy catches the ball and jumpers, and the angle and rhythm of his shots are what he likes.

"Bell!"

The basketball failed to make it and bounced high against the neck of the basket. Dampier under the basket was happy in his heart, the direction of this basketball is exactly the rebounding range he controls!

"Be careful!" Mavericks coach Don Nelson shouted.

"What?" Dan Peel suddenly felt a bad feeling in his heart, and a vicious wind rose behind his head, and before he could jump, a huge flood of force came from behind him, which directly made him lose his balance and staggered forward two steps in confusion.

"Bang!"

Dampier turned around to see that Yang Di was hanging high on the basketball hoop and kicked the basketball that fell from the basket.

Yang Di landed on the ground, glared at Dampier deadly, and sprayed directly at him: "If you step on a horse and pretend again, you will only use your mouth cannon." ”
