Chapter 176 Smoothie King Arena

Driving on the streets of New Orleans, Qin Tao watched the street with great interest through the window.

As the article said, there are different cultures everywhere in this city.

The French Quarter with a strong European style, the passionate Spanish Quarter, and the business district with a strong typical American business atmosphere stand row upon row in this city.

All the way.

From time to time, Qin Tao's ears would be filled with jazz music, mixed with the unique tones of soul music, which inexplicably made him feel calm.

When they finally arrived at the hotel where they were staying, they were greeted by a middle-aged man who was full of gentlemanly style.

He arranged accommodation for Qin Tao and his group, explained clearly the locations of the hotel's various facilities, and then politely chose to leave.

The sudden silence made Qin Tao and the others finally feel a little tired.

McHale and his group of coaches are also very interesting. They didn't arrange any tasks, but just let them recharge their batteries so that they can better prepare for the evening game.

The New Orleans Pelicans were originally supposed to be called the New Orleans Hornets, but last year, with the owner of the NFL, Tom Benson, finally bought this team managed by the league. In order to be closer to the location of New Orleans, it will be used for many years. The team name was officially changed to the Pelicans earlier this month.

The home stadium of the New Orleans Pelicans has a very interesting name called the Smoothie King Arena. It is a good arena located in the bustling city center.

in the afternoon.

Qin Tao followed McHale and the others, and took the bus to the venue to warm up and adapt to the venue.

After getting used to it, Qin Tao and the others didn't encounter the Celtics and New York at home. In order to give the visiting team some minor situations, the floor was quite flat and felt like the Toyota Center.

Then came the interview session. The reporters, mainly local media, took aim at Harden and Qin Tao.

At this time.

Facing the microphones of at least seven people, Qin Tao was really embarrassed.

It was all because the questions they asked were so sincere that he really had nothing to say.

A reporter saw that he remained silent, as if he was on the shoulders with Qin Tao, and asked again expectantly: "Mr. Qin Tao, your contract with the Rockets will end after the 13-14 season. Has the right to an early extension, but would you mind coming to New Orleans, it would be a fantastic outcome."

Honestly.

No matter how heartless a reporter is, he would never ask such a mindless question.

But not only did this person bring it up, it seemed that other people had nothing wrong with their reactions, which made Qin Tao feel helpless about their emotional intelligence.

Nothing.

Qin Tao can only throw out words to ensure that he will not get himself into trouble: "New Orleans is an exciting city with a very strong cultural atmosphere. If it comes to the offseason, I think I will choose to come here for vacation."

The reporters looked at each other in blank dismay. You said that it is possible to choose the Pelicans. After careful analysis, it is not the same thing. You said that Qin Tao refused to come here, and his words could not make people hear a clear rejection.

a time.

These reporters were in very complicated moods, and they didn't know what to ask about the linked questions.

The public relations personnel who came along with the team seemed to show up at just the right time. If they didn't come in time, Qin Tao really couldn't make it up.

The interview is over.

When the Rockets were about to leave the field, all the soldiers of the Pelicans arrived at the arena one after another.

With Chris Paul last season, after the Hornets finally took over, he still left his fortune and chose to go to a bigger city, the Los Angeles Clippers.

In the past season, the team that has been renamed the Pelicans feels that it has completely lost its previous state, but judging from the books of this team, it has almost reached the level of a mid-range team.

For example, their No. [-] pick this year, Anthony Davis, and Eric Gordon, who will bring amazing changes to the Rockets in the future, of course, Ryan Anderson, who was finally sold after a few years, and just this year from the Trail Blazers. Signed Robin Lopez.

Such a lineup.

If it is put in a few years and there is a better coach, there is bound to be a good room for growth.

But at this juncture, they don't seem to be performing as well as their books.

Seeing Qin Tao and the others, the Pelicans stepped forward politely.

Whether they know each other or not, it's basically a hug and a warm conversation.

Especially Anthony Davis, who was cultivated as the cornerstone of the team, chatted in a very curious tone when he came to Qin Tao after communicating with others a little bit shyly.

"Dude! I have to say, you're Mister Miracle, I'm totally shocked."

Looking at the thick eyebrows close at hand, Qin Tao actually felt a little dazed.

once Upon a time.

He is still a dick fan, and he can only see the results on the keyboard all day long, and let his fat off on the field court.

who ever thought.

After being reborn, he not only met countless big names, but also competed with them. This experience was truly a dream.

nowadays.

It seems that thick eyebrows who entered the league with him and will grow into one of the most powerful players in the west in the future, actually said such words to him. To be honest, Qin Tao is really a little bit flustered.

But after a lot of competition experience, his emotional intelligence is no longer negative.

It would seem impolite not to respond.

grin.

Qin Tao smiled modestly: "Compared to you, my performance is not amazing enough."

Thick eyebrows but helplessly spread his hands: "Dude, believe me, although I don't know what happened to you, but you have to admit that, except for the Thunder team and the Rockets team, all managers in the league, including countless scouts, Now I'm crying and passed out in the bathroom of my team, including ours!"

I'm dripping!
This is a bit too beautiful, right?
Qin Tao was a little guilty at the time, but he agreed with it very much in his heart.

have to.

This guy is just plain poor.

Some small talk.

Qin Tao found that Nongmei's character is very simple and straightforward. If he likes you, he just likes you, and he will never play with you for nothing.

but.

If you think about the current Qin Tao, not only is the rookie game a certainty, but also seems to have the ability to rush to the All-Star Game in the first season, what Nongmei said is a bit interesting.

After chatting.

Qin Tao and Nong Mei left each other with phone calls. As rookies of the same year, this is no less than the friendship of classmates.

Subsequently.

The two agreed that the game was over, and Nongmei invited Qin Tao to have a big meal, and then the Rockets left the arena first to make final adjustments for the evening game.

When only the Pelicans were on the court, Robin Lopez, who had just joined the team this season, asked his thick eyebrows curiously: "Brother, are you serious about what you just said?"

Nongmei spread his hands: "Shouldn't the strong be respected?"
