Chapter 465: Off-field Battle
When Denver was founded, it was originally a coal mining town. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Soon after the town was founded, a gold mine was discovered here, which immediately attracted a large number of gold diggers to the area, forming a gold rush boom.
Later, with the construction of the railroad, the city grew rapidly, and the city's economy gradually shifted to service and logistics supply. While maintaining its own unique competitive advantages, Denver actively develops new technology industries with good prospects, and gradually forms six pillar industries rich in potential such as aviation, aerospace, biotechnology, energy, financial services and information technology software, while maintaining the position of the three traditional industries of beer and beverage production, broadcast communications and information technology hardware among the top in the United States.
Every year, the great Oktoberfest is held here, along with the Oktoberfest in Germany and the Oktoberfest in London, which are the three most famous beer festivals in the world.
The rise of the Nuggets has gradually become a commendable thing for Denver locals.
Dominating the Northwest Division, but I haven't done it for a long time.
It's a pity that such enthusiasm was completely extinguished in the second round of the playoffs, and the Warriors won two games in a row, and the Nuggets were in danger.
This made the fans a little unbearable, and after the Warriors' bus slowly drove into the hotel, the local Nuggets fans began to act in an organized manner.
The two sides agreed that the time of the competition was May 11, and there were still two days before the official start of the competition.
The evening of the first day was fine.
On the second night after the preparation training, Yang Di was still asleep, and fireworks suddenly rang out outside.
"What's that?"
Yang Di has a habit of sleeping without drawing the curtains, especially when he sleeps alone, he likes the feeling of the sun crawling on his bed.
As a result, the seedlings were attacked at night, and the fireworks exploded in front of the hotel, as if it were daytime.
The appearance of three or four o'clock in the morning is probably the sweetest time for a person to sleep.
There was a loud noise downstairs, and there were even drunken people who smashed wine bottles, lit fires, burned jerseys, and all kinds of confrontational behaviors were embodied in this quiet evening.
Yang Di squinted his eyes and closed the curtains, but the sound of the fireworks exploding was still very loud.
In particular, the firecrackers below that I don't know where to find them, after a little bit, the crackling is even louder.
"Isn't this the firecracker they often use in Chinatown performances?" Byron, who was in a fog, came to Yang Di and pointed to the fireworks outside the window and said.
"Maybe, I can't sleep now anyway, wait for the police to come."
Yang Di stood up and poured Byron a glass of water.
Then it didn't take long for Tyson, Fisher and others to get up and hang out everywhere, in fact, for NBA players, sometimes it's normal to play until three or four o'clock in the early morning, but it's a little uncomfortable to be woken up in sleep.
The coaches and Warriors leaders got up, called the police, complained to the police, and were busy.
After about a quarter of an hour, when everyone was no longer sleepy, the police in Denver arrived slowly and leisurely, and then slowly and leisurely took these troublesome fans away.
After half an hour of commotion, everyone chatted for a while, and then returned to their rooms to continue sleeping.
Yang Di drank a glass of water, got up and went to the toilet, and then collapsed on the bed.
The next day, it was inevitable that there was another exchange of words between the media of the two sides, the San Francisco media scolded the Nuggets for being shameless and using such a trick, but the Nuggets flatly denied it, everything was spontaneous by the fans, and the Nuggets did not know about it before.
The two sides talked back to the first game, the clash between the Warriors and the Nuggets.
Although the league did not increase the punishment of the players involved after the game, both sides received verbal warnings, and there are rumors that the league will further standardize the league system next season.
On the afternoon of the game day, Yang Di and others rested, relaxed their muscles, and waited for the evening game.
Because there was no time to rest, the arena was opened and the media were allowed to come in and cover the event.
Erin walked to Yang Di's side and interviewed Yang Di.
Yang Di was wearing a vest and the Warriors' black shorts with his No. 8 printed on them, and there were still Warriors players training on the court, and the sound of players shouting, the sound of sneakers rubbing against the floor, and the coaches and trainers sounded from time to time in the stadium.
"You seem to be completely used to the role shift, and you play at the small forward position."
"Yes," Yang Di bluntly admitted the change, "I train every day, and I also have training for outside defense, I adapt to the position of small forward, and know how to defend, to be honest, this position has less requirements for height and weight, but at the same time it also puts forward higher requirements for mobility." ”
"And I'm a lighter kinesthetic insider, so of course there's no problem playing the No. 3 position."
At the end, Yang Di also added a sentence to prove his own point of view.
On the court, Monta Ellis and Louis Williams heads-up, the heads-up of the two attracted a lot of attention, Yang Di also frequently sideways, the strength of these two little brothers is half a pound or two, but Ellis's current speed and shooting are more stable, and he has won Montgomery's trust on the court, while Louis is a little worse, and the basic confrontation is still a little bad.
"Anthony is in your defense, the shooting percentage is low, how do you do it against him."
Erin's question is very clever, and some traps have been set, if Yang Di does not answer well, it may cause dissatisfaction and backlash among Nuggets fans.
Sure enough, Yang Di stepped on it without care.
"Cameron's offensive skills are very complicated, but I only have two goals, one is not to let him into the box, the other is to interfere with his shooting, I am a little higher than him, and the speed is okay, I don't aim for blocks or steals, just interfere and harass his offense, and the efficiency is reduced, which is also reasonable."
The previous ones are okay, but in this last sentence, it is simply arrogant and unpresentable.
Nuggets fans later heard this remark and were even more dissatisfied with Yang Di, and even when Yang Di entered the arena and stepped on the court, he received the most enthusiastic boos from the audience.
At this time, Danny Granger, who was practicing full-court dribbling, dribbled the ball to the surface of his foot, bounced and flew over.
Seeing that he was about to bump into Erin, who was squatting down to interview Yang Di, Yang Di subconsciously stretched out his hand, grabbed Erin's arm, and then pulled her back, and at the same time stretched out his right hand, and opened the five fingers of his big hand to catch the basketball that flew over.
Erin followed Yang Di's skill, turned around on the ground for half a circle, and sat elegantly on the chair next to Yang Di, avoiding foreign appearance.
There were countless pairs of eyes staring at it, and Erin patted her chest, and couldn't help but be a little afraid.
"Thank you."
Erin whispered to Yang Di.
Yang Di waved his hand absently, "Erin, you just sit and interview, it's too hard to squat, let's order at will." ”
