In their final game of November, the Warriors took on the Sacramento Kings on the road.

The weather suddenly turned cold, and slowly entered the cold season, and the cold was noticeable in San Francisco, and in Sacramento, the cold did not decrease but increased.

The cold wind swept up the leaves on the roadside, swirling and falling, and the trunks of the trees on both sides of the road were painted with white paint.

Yang Di drove through the middle of Sacramento's city road on the team's bus, looking at the cityscape on both sides of the road, and didn't know what to think.

"The Kings are currently 5-9 and ranked 12th in the West, and the star of the Kings is Ron Artest, a former Pacers stalwart, who is now the team's offensive and defensive core in the Kings, and the Kings' new youngster Kevin Martin is a very good young scorer who is good at shooting and making foul.......s," assistant coach Ron Adams and the players explained and analyzed the Kings' current lineup, which is also the team's homework to do before the start of every game.

But for Yang Di, it doesn't matter if he listens or not, Yang Di's level and realm are a bit high, and the regular season is just playing casually, which is a bit similar to O'Neill at that time.

It's December, and it's New Year's Eve in a blink of an eye.

Yang Di sighed in his heart that time flies so fast, next year is 08 years, and it is also a year of convergence of many competitions, from 02 years to the United States, it has been 5 years, from a poor and white, zero skills of the chef, to the strongest basketball player in the NBA today, international superstar.

Time flies, and it's really like a shuttle of time.

Yang Di's state of mind has become calmer, without the irritability of when he first entered the league, and without the urge to prove himself when he first came to Oakland, basketball has become a part of his life, and at this stage of his life, he has become his most important partner.

Sacramento has a different meaning for Yang Di.

Yang Di's first tryout, the closest to the NBA, was to Sacramento to participate in the trial, when the Kings were still the overlord of the playoffs, and the Lakers competed in the West, Webb, Bai Qiao's Princeton swept the entire league, at that time, he was also the most unknown player, the legendary bottom figure.

The king did not keep him, perhaps because of the color of his skin, or perhaps because he was not mature enough at that time.

Get out.

"It's getting colder and colder." Ray Allen let out a sigh and put his hat on tighter, and all the Warriors players put their hats on, and there seemed to be a little bit of rain in the sky.

"Is it snowing? It seemed to drip in my face. Byron Davis looked up and squinted.

"Not that early, right? The snow only falls in December and January, and although it is cold, it does not seem to be to the point of snow. ”

"Cold doesn't have much to do with snow, does it?"

A group of scumbags suddenly talked about the snow over there, and Yang Di didn't know the relationship, anyway, the weather was really cold, and there was a biting wind blowing on his face, like a knife cut.

The crowd walked into Arco Arena, the home arena of the Kings.

The Kings are really miserable, as a veteran team in the league, the name is so domineering, they have won a total of 1 championship, or more than 50 years ago, they won the NBA championship as the Rochester Royals.

Later, the Kings had ups and downs, never won the championship, and the team also went through several moves, and changed arenas countless times.

A few years ago, when the Kings were at their peak, they won a lot of games in Sacramento, but now the Kings have undergone a change, completely tearing down and rebuilding, and there is a tendency to become a fish belly in the West.

Attendance at Arco Arena was low, and in the cold weather, there were very few fans who came to watch the game, even against the Warriors.

As far as the eye can see, the entire arena may have less than half of the attendance.

The training uniforms of the Warriors players are all black, Yang Di and others like to wear hats and train with hats, while the Kings have their classic purple jerseys, which look more noble than the Warriors.

Kings players practice on the sidelines and look weak.

The Sacramento Kings are full of young people, Kevin Martin, Benno Youdri, Francisco Garcia, basically 25 or 26 years old.

The Warriors sit in first place in the West and have only lost two games so far, and the gap between the two teams is huge.

The Kings played at home on their own, and the Warriors actually gave them 9.5 points, and the market believes that the Warriors have at least one big win in Sacramento.

Sure enough, the Warriors defeated the Kings 113-95 after more than 2 hours and won easily.

As soon as the game ended, the Warriors players got into the bus and waited for the head coach and Yang Di to leave the Arco Arena after the press conference.

Outside the arena, it was already night in Sacramento, and it was snowing lightly.

Under the street lamp, the scattered snowflakes fell, and the exhaled heat immediately condensed into frost, and there was already a thin layer on the ground, and the feet stepped on the ground, making a sound of "branching, branching, ......".

The bus drove to the hotel, Sacramento is not far from San Francisco, the two cities are actually adjacent, about 100 kilometers apart, and it will take more than an hour to drive.

So after the game, the Warriors' bus went straight to the San Francisco area.

The bus driver drove the bus steadily on Interstate 80, and the players of the team fell into a tired sleep, the car is more convenient than the plane in that you can go at any time, and the plane unless it is a special plane or a private jet, otherwise the waiting time before and after the airport will also take a lot of time.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, driving on the intercontinental highway, the bus driver's wiper kept scraping, and the speed of the bus dropped from 100 yards to 70 or 80 yards.

"No, the snow seems to be getting heavier!"

The bus driver is a staff member of the team, and throughout the year, the team uses the bus for away games only a few times, usually mainly responsible for the team's transportation to and from Oakland International Airport, but I didn't expect to go to Sacramento this time and encounter such heavy snowfall.

"It's not going to be blocked, is it? Such a big snowfall. Montgomery said with some concern.

"No, I didn't receive a notice from the meteorological department."

As soon as Ron Adams finished speaking, the radio station in the bus urgently broadcast a yellow warning for heavy snow: "Northern California is experiencing the heaviest snowfall in 15 years, the weather department is warning all vehicles outside to pay attention to safety, and the police will implement traffic control on the interstate." ”

"Haha." Montgomery gave a look of you being too young and patted Adams on the shoulder.

It usually takes an hour and a half to drive, but it took almost two hours to arrive in Auckland, and when the players got off the bus, the ground was covered in snow, the wind was biting, and the trees were withering.
