Super Evolution of Basketball

Chapter 443 Fly to Dallas

In the first game after Kyle Korver joined, the Lakers will go to Dallas to challenge the Mavericks away.

In the eyes of most fans, there are two signs of the Mavericks: Nowitzki and his good friend Cuban.

When the Lakers arrived at the Dallas airport, they saw the convoy that Nowitzki sent to pick them up as soon as they stepped out of the lobby.

The head of team operations sought Walton's opinion, and Walton came forward to chat with Nowitzki's agent. The Lakers still took the bus sent by the partner hotel step by step.

Paul George was very surprised by Nowitzki's enthusiasm. He has been in the league for many years, and it seems that Dirk Nowitzki has never been so enthusiastic about anyone.

Yuan Qingshan told him that he met Nowitzki during the All-Stars last year, and Jason Kidd, as a mutual friend of both parties, was the introducer.

The bus was driving on the wide street. Downs and Whiteside looked at the various streets outside the window together and commented. Murray sat alone in the rear seat of the bus in a daze.

Yuan Qingshan's phone rang, it was Nowitzki, and he connected immediately.

"Hey, Aoyama, Jeff said you didn't use the fleet." Nowitzki's English is very standard, you can't tell that he is German.

Yuan Qingshan had no choice but to say: "Yes, the hotel sent a bus to pick us up, so there is no trouble for you."

Nowitzki was very enthusiastic: "Then what else needs me to do, just ask, I will be happy to serve you until you leave Dallas."

Before Yuan Qingshan could speak, Nowitzki continued: "Of course, the game will be hands-free for the game, and I will definitely use my best tomorrow night!"

Yuan Qingshan smiled and said: "Of course, I am looking forward to witnessing the power of German tanks."

Nowitzki: "Haha, okay, see you then."

Yuan Qingshan: "See you then!"

After finishing speaking, Yuan Qingshan hung up the phone and turned his head to see that Paul George beside him had fallen asleep.

He heard from the assistant coach that Paul George has been training these days, more than the rest of the Lakers. He said that Paul George is holding back his energy now and wants to get a championship ring in his first year with the Lakers.

Yuan Qingshan admired Paul George's spirit very much. Although he was also very reluctant to part with Barnes and Brogdon, it has to be said that the magician made a good deal.

The bus drove steadily, came to the hotel entrance, and stopped slowly.

Some local reporters in Dallas were waiting here early.

Walton took the lead, and the Lakers team got out of the car one after another.

"Hello, Coach Walton, can I interview you?" A young girl with a camera asked.

Wharton shook his head, meaning it was inconvenient.

Yuan Qingshan stopped in his tracks and said to the girl, "Why don't we have a chat."

Wharton was a little surprised by Yuan Qingshan's actions, and didn't know why Yuan Qingshan was so interested today.

In fact, the reason is very simple. This girl is a bit like Rachel. When Yuan Qingshan saw her, he seemed to see Rachel running around the world with equipment, waiting in line to interview the stars, so his sympathy overflowed.

"Yuan Qingshan, what tactics will you use against the Mavericks tomorrow night?" the reporter asked.

Yuan Qingshan smiled softly in his heart, it seems that this girl and Rachel really look alike, they are so innocent, how could they reveal the tactics to you before the game?
But he still answered this question: "We will try to attack from the outside more. After all, the joining of Paul and Kyle has given us new strength, and we are worried about having nowhere to train."

This answer is also considered true. The core players of the Mavericks are: Deron Williams, Dirk Nowitzki, Wesley Matthews, Seth Curry, Norlens Noel.

To be honest, this lineup is not very good defensively, both inside and outside, and Nowitzki's offense is only a bright spot, so the Lakers' game tomorrow night will be very easy, and the meaning of training is indeed quite big.

The reporter asked: "Who will play against Dirk, Towns or Whiteside?"

Yuan Qingshan glanced forward, and Walton had already gone far, so he could only say: "You know, coach Walton should answer this question. If you want me to say it, maybe Towns has a bigger face. The team needs him to hone his defense to be as good as his offense!"

The reporter wrote down in a small notebook: PF, Dirk Nowitzki, Karl-Anthony Towns.

Then asked: "Are you confident against a point guard like Deron Williams?"

At this time, a voice suddenly came from behind Yuan Qingshan to answer: "Girl, this question is a bit amateurish, the one standing in front of you is the MVP of the All-Star Game."

The reporter recognized the person speaking, and hurriedly asked: "Channing Frye, will you try to increase your shots outside the three-point line tomorrow night?"

Frye put his arms around Yuan Qingshan's shoulder and replied: "It depends on the situation. Kyle Korver can provide enough three-point firepower for the bench lineup. If the bench lineup doesn't require me to shoot three-pointers, I will become an inside madman and focus on rebounding."

Yuan Qingshan couldn't help but look back at him, full of suspicion.

Frye smiled: "Why do you look like that, don't I rebound well?"

Yuan Qingshan had no choice but to say: "Strong, strong, strong."

The reporter wrote again: Channing Frye, a rebounder.

This kind of impromptu interview should not be too long. The female reporter let her go after asking a few questions. Of course, Yuan Qingshan didn't have time to accept other interviews. The other reporters had to leave with envy and jealousy.

The Lakers have booked a total of 35 rooms. The players are concentrated on the 14th and 15th floors. Yuan Qingshan is a single room, with Downs on the left and Paul George on the right.

The dining room is on the 5th floor. Yuan Qingshan tidied up his clothes and went downstairs for dinner. Tang Si and others arrived first.

They found a square table near the floor-to-ceiling windows and sat down.

Downs came over with a large glass of orange juice, sat next to Yuan Qingshan, and asked Yuan Qingshan, "How should I deal with Nowitzki tomorrow night?"

Yuan Qingshan replied: "Leave the sudden attack, prevent the shot."

Downs nodded. Nowitzki is the kind of person who can kill you. On the contrary, as he got older, his breakthroughs became less and less.

Towns asked again: "Are we going to play any key tactics?"

Yuan Qingshan took a bite of pizza: "You have to ask the coach about this."

Towns was surprised: "Aren't you our coach, the coach on the field."

Yuan Qingshan glared at him: "If I were the coach, the first thing I would do would be to stick your mouth to death."

Downs laughed, causing Whiteside to lean his head over: "What are you talking about, so funny?"

Towns replied: "Xiaoshan wants you to play against the German chariot tomorrow night. If you score less than him, you will be traded to the Mavericks next season."

After hearing this, Whiteside stuck out his tongue with a grin. He must be inferior to Nowitzki in terms of scoring.

Snapped!
There was a sudden sound on the dining table, and even the other people who were eating nearby were startled and hurriedly looked this way.

Yuan Qingshan angrily put his drink cup on the table, and said coldly: "Don't make such jokes again in the future."

After finishing speaking, he left without looking back, leaving behind a half-eaten dinner.
