Chapter 642 The Cavaliers Anecdote
What surprised Qian Chen was that the team's general manager Kobe Altman and team boss Daniel Gilbert were not waiting for him in the office, but came directly outside the venue gate.
It is rumored online that Gilbert is just as passionate and impulsive as the Mavericks boss Cuban, who is a man with a lot of passion and impulsiveness in doing things. Now it seems that this is true.
It is said that when James left the Cavaliers last year, Gilbert directly criticized James as a treacherous villain with an open letter to his fans online.
Judging from his impulsive behavior, sometimes he doesn't look like a businessman who only cares about how much money the team can make for him.
For every chef in the team, such a boss is undoubtedly much more humane than cold-blooded businessmen who just treat team members as tools for making money.
At least Qian Chen felt his respect.
"You are Qian Chen, this is Mr. Gilbert, the owner of our Cavaliers."
Altman introduced to Qian Chen with a smile.
Qian Chen had just raised his hand, and the handsome black-haired white middle-aged man opposite him immediately stretched out his hands and grabbed Qian Chen's hand, and then shook it hard.
"Hello! You are Qian Chen, I have watched the video of you eating the halberd, it's really wonderful! Now I'm extremely sure that you are the future of our Cleveland Cavaliers! I hope you can win the championship for the Cavaliers!"
Then Gilbert suddenly came over and said with a gritted teeth.
"It's better to win a championship trophy before a hot man, so that I can openly announce to fans that we can win the championship by ourselves without the need for a 'little emperor'!"
Gilbert was too enthusiastic, which made Qian Chen feel a little at a loss, so he had to fool him in a vague way.
Fortunately, Gilbert also knew that Qian Chen was a rookie, so he just expressed his determination to Qian Chen and put some pressure on him, but did not give a death order.
After giving Qian Chen another passionate personal speech, Gilbert asked Altman to take Qian Chen to visit the venue.
Altman took Qian Chen through the huge venues. They visited the ticket office, exhibition hall, lounge, then the locker room, and the gym...
By the way, the locker room is divided into men and women.
You read that right, because there are women in the team.
This is also one of the biggest differences between NCA and NBA.
Although women are inferior to men in fusion of food cells, careful women are better than men in making desserts and making drinks.
Since the first female chef entered the NCA, in addition to becoming famous male chefs, NCA has also emerged a group of female heroes.
During the past 70 years, there has even been a precedent for female chefs to lead a team to win the championship.
However, with the increasing development of food cell technology in the United States, coupled with the unwillingness of female chefs from other countries to leave their hometowns, this situation has become increasingly rare.
Until now, female chefs generally only take charge of desserts, at most drinks, which are the jobs of role chefs. The two major highlights of appetizers and main courses are still controlled by male chefs, especially those who are black and rough.
Finally, Qian Chen, led by Altman, came to the training venue.
Then another strange scene appeared in Qian Chen's eyes.
I saw a large oval field, a horse was pulling a large flatbed cart and was spinning along a fixed track.
This is not what surprised Qian Chen the most.
What shocked him the most was that the large flat plate was placed with kitchen counters, stoves, ovens, etc., and the four chefs were cooking steadily in such an environment of bumpy up and down and shaking back and forth.
Another thing that shocked him was that the one who dragged the big plate and ran was only one horse, and it was a silver foal that was only as tall as his waist!?
Appreciating Qian Chen's surprised gaze, Altman raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said to Qian Chen.
"Welcome to the Cavaliers' home court - the Carousel!"
After Altman's explanation, Qian Chen realized that such a bumpy environment in the carriage was one of the home advantage of the Cavaliers.
After Stern took over NCA, he found that ordinary food and halberd cuisine could no longer attract the attention of the audience.
So this smart Jewish old man, of course, was not a little old man decades ago, but a handsome middle-aged uncle. In short, Stern had a flash of inspiration and came up with a brilliant idea to let all teams transform the venues according to their own characteristics to increase the difficulty of eating halberds.
So such a variety of special food and halberd venues were released.
The impact of such a venue that has been specially modified is two-way, but the home team has been training in their own venues for a long time, and the impact is smaller than that of the visiting team.
This special home court advantage instantly attracted the attention of countless viewers.
In order to maintain this situation, Stern even stipulates that each team must upgrade and renovate their venues every three years to add more viewing home 'features'.
Stern's strategy was undoubtedly successful.
The renovated special venue once again attracted the attention of the audience, and the cooking method in special environments also made the food and halberd more ornamental.
In addition, the mandatory update every three years also keeps the entire NCA full of vitality and attractiveness.
"interesting."
Qian Chen couldn't help but smile.
He had never tried cooking in such a special environment before. This was undoubtedly a brand new challenge for him.
"It's still offseason, and some players are still on vacation, but another rookie has arrived."
Speaking of another rookie, Altman's face became slightly unnatural.
"His name is Kyrie Irving, you should have heard his name, uh~ In short, I hope you can get along well, after all, Gilbert hopes that you two can become the cornerstone of the team building."
Altman's tone was a little strange, but Qian Chen didn't care too much.
He expected that there were only two situations, either welcome or ‘welcome’.
The former friend greets him with a smile, and he naturally smiles back.
The latter type is nothing more than using a fist to make the other party greet him with a smile.
Seeing that the general manager came, the carriage gradually stopped, and a tall black fat man with glasses next to him ran over happily.
Altman introduced to Qian Chen.
"This is our coach, Mike Brown."
Mike Brown immediately stretched out his huge palm with a smile on his face.
Qian Chen looked at him curiously while holding his hand.
"This is our new top scholar, Chen from the Tian Dynasty."
Altman introduced Qian Chen next to him.
"Hello! Hello! I'm the head coach of the Cavaliers, Mike Brown."
"Hello, Mr. Coach."
"Hey! Are you Qian Chen?"
