Texas, Dallas.
The Lakers were already here yesterday afternoon.
It was exactly twelve o'clock at noon.
Wang Yi has already completed his training mission.
At this time, the home and away teams had arrived at the American Airlines Center Arena.
Although this arena has a retro architectural style on the outside, it is full of technological elements inside.
It is the arena with the most high-tech elements in the entire NBA.
Not to mention anything else, just the light show on the scene when King Nuo retired made people feel like they were transported to the future world.
Today's game starts at 1:30 noon.
Although most NBA games are played at night, they occasionally start at noon.
When the Lakers came out of the parking lot and walked to the locker room passage, they saw a female reporter wearing a trainee press card waving to them.
This female reporter has blond hair and charming blue eyes.
Although the figure is not too outstanding, it is still above average.
The Lakers players' eyes lit up.
I'm not talking about LSP per capita, but which man doesn't look twice at a beautiful woman?
This beautiful reporter came to the Lakers and said, "I'm sorry, I'm Julie Hope, an intern reporter from Dallas TV. Can I interview you?"
Vogel shook his head: "Sorry, this is not interview time."
With that said, he led the Lakers generals, bypassed the female reporter, and continued to move forward.
The Lakers generals felt a little regretful.
As NBA players, they have to be interviewed endlessly, and many of the questions asked by reporters are traps, waiting for them to exploit them.
This caused them to frown when meeting reporters.
However, they hate interviews with reporters, but they don’t hate interviews with beautiful reporters.
This is just like the Chinese people, almost everyone hates square dancing, especially some young people who have been robbed of basketball courts by square dancing mothers.
What's more, in order to seize the basketball court, the square dancing mother asked her son to drive a forklift and knock down the basketball stand.
But if the person dancing in the square is a pretty girl, will everyone be vying to see it?
If a beautiful square dancing girl came to compete with you for the venue, would you just give in?
So this is a face-based world.
Julie Hope was rejected and seemed a little aggrieved.
Seeing that Wang Yi, who was at the very back, was about to pass, he said in an almost pleading tone:
"Please, even if you only answer one of my questions. If I can't interview you today, I will lose this last chance to become a full-time employee. Please..."
When he said this, he suddenly seemed to recognize Wang Yi and said in surprise:
"Oh, you are the king from China! That's great. If I can interview you, I will definitely become a regular employee. Please..."
Wang Yi shook his head:
"Sorry, I have to prepare for the game."
As he spoke, he bypassed Julie Hope and kept up with his teammates.
Before the game started, he didn't want to be disturbed by all kinds of nonsense.
This is his attitude towards the game.
Julie Hope looked at Wang Yi's back with a confident smile on her lips.
I'm determined to eat this man!
Since she was in high school, she has been the object of many boys' pursuit.
Dealing with many boys.
She knows how to deal with men.
Therefore, she was 100% confident in completing the task assigned to her by her supervisor.
When Wang Yi followed his teammates into the locker room, he met Cuban, the owner of the Mavericks.
This is a very passionate boss who is obsessed with basketball.
Even though his temples are gray, his passion for basketball remains undiminished.
The Lakers and Mavericks are not old enemies, so he warmly greeted the Lakers generals.
When he saw Wang Yi, he chatted a few more words:
"We are from the same country as Wang. Hello, Wang!"
Wang Yi naturally knows who the king he is talking about is.
The first Chinese player to land in the NBA, the pioneer, Wang Zhizhi.
Wang Zhizhi went through many hardships before landing in the NBA, paving the way for those who came after China.
The team where Wang Zhizhi landed in the NBA was the original Dallas Mavericks.
Wang Yi nodded: "Hello."
Cuban then said: "I watched your game against the Pelicans, wonderful performance!"
"Thanks."
Cuban spoke again: "But you have to be merciful tonight, we are not old enemies."
Wang Yi said: "The greatest respect for an opponent is to go all out."
Cuban laughed: "You guy, can't you even tell a joke?"
Wang Yi said: "Didn't you realize that I was also joking?"
The crow's feet at the corners of Cuban's eyes appeared a little deeper, and he smiled:
"But our Luca is not easy to mess with, you have to be careful."
Wang Yi nodded: "I will tell him that you disclosed information to me."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Everyone burst into laughter.
In just one sentence, he made the team owner a traitor. Wang Yi is such a clever little guy.
The time is approaching half past noon.
The Lakers players finished warming up and came to the sidelines to wait for the Mavericks' appearance ceremony.
The whole place darkened.
In this darkness, a huge backboard suddenly appeared in the sky.
The blue backboard has a fiery red basket underneath.
A huge basketball flew from the far side.
Whoosh!
Right in the center of the basket!
Then, Doncic's holographic image appeared on the field.
Dribbling the basketball, a signature step back.
Hit again.
Then the other team members showed off their special moves.
And all of this is achieved through naked-eye 3D technology.
Looking at these, it feels like watching a 3D movie.
The Lakers players couldn't help but marvel.
Tucker scratched his head and said, "How much will this cost?"
His thick eyebrows formed an M shape and he said: "Cuban is really willing to do anything for the team."
James also sighed: "He is a boss who truly loves basketball."
Most of the 30 team owners in the league run their teams just for investment and business.
Only Cuban and Clippers owner Ballmer truly love basketball.
They are willing to invest a lot of bonuses for the team. They cheer for the team on the sidelines in almost every game, get excited, sad, and angrily complain about the referees with the players and fans...
Finally, the entrance ceremony ended.
Players from both sides are about to take the field.
At this time, not far behind the Lakers bench, a rough voice suddenly came:
"You Lakers trash, go back to your trash city of Los Angeles."
"Garbage should stay in the trash can."
The Lakers players were a little surprised.
This is not the first time they have experienced abuse from fans when they went to an away game.
It can be said that this is normal.
But the Lakers and Mavericks have never had much hatred, and the fans here are still very gentle towards the Lakers.
There are almost no direct insults.
what is it today?
Vogel clapped his hands vigorously to attract the attention of the players.
Said: "Maybe he is a drunkard, don't pay attention to him."
The Lakers players nodded and didn't care.
When the drunkard saw no response from the Lakers players, he became even more arrogant.
He pointed at the Lakers players and said to several young people next to him:
"Did you see that? They didn't dare to respond at all. They're just a bunch of cowards."
Chapter completed!
