I'm not a basketball bully

Chapter 461

There is no doubt that playing against the Spurs is dull and boring.

No team in the league wants to play against the Spurs.

In addition, the Spurs' home court is very special, and there are basically not many fans who want to go to the Spurs' home court to watch games.

On the day of the game, it was just as predicted.

There are very few fans at the Spurs home court. Most of them are true fans of the Spurs. Some people have even just finished their farm work and entered the venue directly wearing jeans.

At AT&T's home court in San Antonio, Spurs players calmly arranged their equipment and were ready to play at any time.

As the top two teams in the Western Conference, there is a reason why the ticket sales rate is at the bottom of the league all year round.

This is Stephenson's first time playing at the Spurs' home court since entering the NBA.

As soon as he entered the venue, his expression changed drastically.

"Where's the smell coming from?"

Little Jordan, who followed him in, twitched his nose twice and frowned similarly.

"Really, what does it smell like?"

Many people in the Knicks team covered their mouths and noses, their eyes full of disgust, and looked around, looking for the source of the stench.

But Su Ye, Deron, and coach Prosser, the three of them are not surprised by this.

When they entered the venue and came to the bench, when everyone found the body of a dung beetle behind the bench, everyone suddenly became a little uneasy.

Although I have long heard that the Spurs venue is very outrageous, it is not so outrageous.

Even the corpses of creatures like dung beetles can be found in the field during the break.

After Su Ye saw it, he calmly waved to the Spurs staff and told them to clean it up.

After the cleaning was completed, he turned back and spoke seriously to everyone.

"Don't worry about that."

"That's what Spurs are like."

"After all, they just finished the exhibition."

The Knicks were stunned for a moment.

Exhibition?

What exhibition?

Seeing everyone's blank eyes, Prosser explained to everyone helplessly.

Su Ye looked at the Spurs' ceiling, praying that nothing weird would happen today.

Why is the attendance at the Spurs' home court so low?

The reason is that the Spurs' home games are on loan.

In addition to playing NBA games for the Spurs, the ATTC Center also plays host to many other events.

What about ice hockey, curling, badminton, etc.

The most outrageous thing about this stadium in the league is that starting in February every year, the Spurs will have no home court for 2 consecutive games.

Because their home stadium will be rented to local farmers and livestock dealers to host the largest livestock industry exhibition in the United States.

This start-up took a whole month.

The stench that Stephenson and the others smelled was mostly the odor left by the animals in the livestock industry.

Just think about it, this arena can be marinated in excrement balls for a month, how can it not taste bad?

Su Ye also resists playing the Spurs, not because the Spurs are so difficult to beat, but because they are the first team to visit the Spurs Arena since the Spurs opened their home court in February.

It can be said that they were the first team to suffer.

In this arena, the lights don't work very well, the air conditioning is basically useless, and the floors are a little loose, and you have to endure the stench of animal feces.

It’s torture just to think about it.

In comparison, the situation of the Dallas Mavericks is more than twice as good.

There is also an exhibition period in Dallas, but they are in the irrigation industry.

Everyone in the Knicks arranged their equipment in agony, waiting for the game to start.

However, the audience in front of the TV naturally did not know what was going on on the field. Everyone was sitting in front of the TV, looking forward to the start of the game.

When the whistle sounded, both sides started jumping the ball.

After Jordan tipped the ball into the Knicks' own half, he couldn't help but trash-talked Duncan.

"Your venue stinks like crazy!"

Shifo Duncan replied very calmly.

"I know."

These words made Jordan completely lose his temper to continue talking trash.

When these two teams play against each other, there is no doubt that Mars will collide with the Earth.

It can be said to be a must-see game in this year's Knicks schedule.

The Spurs are second in the Western Conference and have absolute strength. They are definitely not coming to an end as the "Spurs Dynasty" underestimated by the media when the league started.

The first quarter of the game has just ended.

The Knicks, whose offensive firepower is definitely at the top of the pyramid in the league, only scored 16 points in the first quarter.

On the other side, the Spurs actually had a slight lead, scoring 18 points.

In the first quarter of the game, the combined scores of both teams did not exceed 40, which is a rare thing in this league.

But on the Spurs side, this is completely normal.

As soon as the first quarter of the game ended, Stephenson, as the starter, lay on his chair and retched crazily.

He vomited everything he had eaten before the game at this moment.

Not only him, but the expressions of several other people were also not very good-looking.

In strenuous exercise such as playing ball on the field, you inevitably need to take a big breath.

But as long as you take a big breath, you will immediately feel the deep malice coming from the Spurs Stadium.

The stench of feces hit my face.

Like Stephenson, he couldn't help but retching as soon as he started playing. The more he vomited, the more he wanted to vomit.

In the end, Prosser had no choice but to let his young player rest first.

As for the others, their condition is not very good either.

After all, not many people can concentrate on playing ball when there are such interferences from external factors.

But for the Spurs, this is normal.

Since they came to play in this stadium, they can feel this deep malice brought by their own stadium every year.

Entering the second quarter of the game.

When the bench is over and the starting lineup returns.

Fans also felt that something was not right about the Knicks tonight, and there were heated discussions in the forum.

"What's wrong with Jordan today? He doesn't feel energetic."

"Don't talk about Jordan, I feel like the Knicks don't have much energy and look listless."

"Maybe I don't really want to play the Spurs."

"I thought it would be a strong matchup, but it feels like there is a team showing up."

"Su Ye was not very efficient today. He just broke 10 points. He basically didn't score in the first quarter."

"Although Jefferson is old, he can still compete with Su Ye. You see, Su Ye's efficiency is not very high."

"Stop talking nonsense. Who doesn't know that the Spurs' zone defense is very fierce. No matter how strong Su Ye is, he can beat five by himself?"

……

Just as the fans were having a lively discussion, there was sudden chaos on the field during the second quarter.

Under the basket, Jordan's expression changed drastically, he dropped the basketball and ran towards the referee.

The referee was also startled, but after seeing that the animal that broke into the field was a bat, he hurriedly squeezed behind Jordan.

The bat that suddenly broke into the venue was also panicked and flew around.

Everyone in the Knicks who was originally responsible for the defense scattered around and waited for the staff to deal with it.

At this moment, everyone on the field began to leave, preparing to make room for the staff.

Deron, Randolph and others rushed straight to the sidelines in a hurry.

As he walked, he complained to a few people behind him.

"I knew it!"

"I knew it!"

"Nothing good will happen when you come to play for the Spurs."

"The pigeons flew in last time!"

"Last time, the lights and air conditioner were broken!"

"It's the bat again this time!"

"Fake spurs!"

"Can you change the court!"

Not to mention Deron, many people in the league are complaining about the Spurs Stadium.

Especially in the days after February, everyone who comes has to curse the Spurs.

Just then, the bat flew towards a bald Mediterranean.

This shining head looks very dazzling under the light.

The owner of the head is naturally Ginobili, whose hair has been thinning for a long time.

Just when everyone thought Ginobili was about to walk away in a hurry, Yaodao's eyes turned cold, he raised his left hand with an indifferent expression and waved hard at the bat.

The bat, which was still flying, was slapped to the ground by Ginobili.

Without giving the bat a chance to react, Ginobili bent down to pick it up and handed it to a Spurs staff member coming from the sidelines.

The process was so fast, and Ginobili's calmness frightened everyone present.

Even everyone in the Knicks was dumbfounded and showed horrified expressions.

"What the hell?! Is this okay?!"

"This Ginobili is too brave!"

"I'm convinced by the Spurs. They have a paralyzed face and this lunatic. There's another guy over there who can only run. There's no normal person!"

Ginobili handed over the bat with an indifferent expression, turned around and went to the sidelines to get a rabies vaccine with the team doctor.

When Su Ye saw the Spurs' smooth handling, he couldn't help but whistled and joked with the shocked teammates behind him.

"Take a look."

"What is professionalism?"

"This is called professionalism."

No one expected that the Spurs would handle emergencies on the field in this way.

Besides, people don’t know how to complain.

As the team doctor of a team, there is actually a rabies vaccine in the medical kit.

What is this operation?

After the farce was over, the two sides returned to the court again.

After returning this time, Beverley, who was responsible for facing off against Ginobili, had long lost the idea of ​​continuing to talk trash.

There was only respect in his eyes for Ginobili.

Ginobili is a man.

After seeing the expressions of all the Spurs members as if nothing had happened, everyone in the Knicks was filled with satisfaction, but they didn't know where to start.

But after all, the game must go on.

In the second quarter of the game, due to the previous unexpected situation, the Knicks naturally did not perform very well.

In the third quarter, the Spurs became stronger.

In just the third quarter of the game, the score between the two sides directly expanded to 8 points.

The audience can feel that the Knicks are obviously not very online tonight.

Even Su Ye is the same.

He only broke through 18 points in the third quarter, which is still a big gap from his average of 33 points per game this season.

When the fourth quarter ended, all the fans in front of the TV felt disappointed.

The Knicks' matchup with the Spurs didn't spark any sparks.

On the contrary, the Spurs secured the victory of this game by playing steadily.

But in the post-game period, no one mentioned anything about the game.

No matter which media in the league, the scene of Ginobili grabbing the bat with his bare hands was put on the front page of the newspaper.

Ginobili's calm look during the process was clearly photographed.

Especially when he learned that there was a special situation, Ginobili was still scratching his head in confusion.

The next second he aimed at the bat and slapped him directly.

This sequence was in sharp contrast to the panic of others.

In the press box after the game, the reporters couldn't help but question the Knicks.

"Deron, you were not very far from Ginobili at the time. Do you have anything to say about him catching bats with his bare hands?"

"What do you want to say? What do you say?"

Deron covered his face with his hands and rubbed it twice, then sighed to the reporters.

"The Spurs are such a ridiculous team to play at home."

"But Ginobili is so ruthless."

"I don't know how he does that, and I'm thankful he didn't let the bat disrupt our game."

"Although apart from the game, I feel the stadium is deeply malicious towards me. I have to take 10,000 showers tonight."

The reporters covered their mouths and snickered.

Every February, they hear similar statements from players on other teams.

It can be said that every year after February, it is the best time for everyone to watch players make mistakes.

Su Ye, who was conducting the interview on the other side, was also asked this question by the reporter.

Su Ye just laughed and teased.

"As expected of a demon sword."

This extremely high comment made many Spurs fans satisfied.

But for Su Ye, being able to witness the famous scene happening with his own eyes is already a happier thing than today's game.

After all, when Ginobili retires in the future, Duncan will still use this paragraph to tease Ginobili.

"Ginobili's accolades include four championships, an Olympic gold medal and... a bat."

There is no doubt that fans watched the top ten goals of the day ranked by various media.

Ginobili's bare-handed catch of the bat ranked first among the top ten shots of the day.

Fans are also laughing about this matter endlessly.

But on the second day of the game, the situation changed slightly.

As the second team in the Eastern Conference.

Su Ye and the others lost a game, and it was already very difficult to climb to first place in the Eastern Conference.

For the rest of the schedule, unless the Bulls trigger a losing streak, the Knicks don't have much chance to get first place in the Eastern Conference.

On the contrary, in the Western Conference, the Spurs successfully won a victory, and the Lakers lost the game yesterday.

They are only one win away from ranking first in the Western Conference.

And next, the Lakers will have to face the very difficult Thunder team.

This means that if the Lakers lose another game or the Spurs win another game, the Spurs will be number one in the Western Conference.

If both things happen at the same time, then the Lakers must finish the season without losing a game in order to catch up with the Spurs in the second half of the schedule and regain first place in the Western Conference.

It can be said that this game is crucial for both the Spurs and the Knicks.

The Knicks can rely on this game to confirm their second position in the Eastern Conference.

The Spurs can also use this game to climb to the top of the Western Conference.

These two consecutive back-to-back games for the Spurs also made fans feel very helpless.

In the NBA, only the Spurs have this special opportunity.

Before the start of the second game, many fans had already learned that the Knicks were in extremely poor playing condition, and many fans also knew about the Spurs Arena.

From the beginning, the Knicks were predicted to have the highest winning percentage. By the next day, the Knicks team's winning percentage had fallen below 50%.

Most media believe that the Knicks may have a winning rate of less than 40% in today's game.

Tonight, everyone from the Knicks came to the court, and their expressions were obviously more relaxed than the first time they came.

Last time, everyone in the team was not mentally prepared and started playing the game in a daze.

During the process, everyone started to get distracted as soon as they recalled the stench in the air.

After all, the smell of an animal husbandry exhibition that lasts for a whole month cannot be dissipated by letting the air flow for two days.

But when I came to the stadium today, the smell was obviously much lighter than before.

Stephenson, who was preparing to start today, was also changing his sneakers while swearing to his teammates.

"I'm definitely going to play well tonight."

"Without the interference of off-site factors, it's up to you to see if I can do it or not and they'll be finished!"

"Wait for it! Spurs! I'll have nothing to lose without you!"

Everyone couldn't laugh or cry when they saw Stephenson's confident look.

Basically, this guy started starting after the All-Star Game, and he would say this every day before taking the court.

He often only scores 8 or 9 points, but rarely achieves such feats as 12 or 14 points.

It can be said that everyone is used to Stephenson's bragging.

Su Ye patted Stephenson on the shoulder, smiled and teased.

"Okay, it depends on your performance today."

"If you perform well, I'll let you, Brother Randolph, take you to have a good time and have fun for two days."

"I will reimburse all the expenses in between."

But the next second, Su Ye's expression changed.

He saw Stephenson staring up at him, with a burning fire in his eyes.

"Boss! Are you serious?!"

"Really."

"Nice!!! Ness!!!"

Stephenson waved his fists excitedly and started to warm up on the sidelines step by step.

Delong came to Su Ye, looked at Stephenson's back, shook his head and sighed.

"Look at it, it's driving the kids crazy."

Su Ye shrugged his shoulders, feeling helpless.

This season, the team desperately needs the growth of him and Jordan.

Before the start of the season, their training was the heaviest on the team.

That is to say, under such a high-pressure situation, the strength of these two people has grown rapidly, and now they have begun to gradually become qualified NBA stars, especially Jordan, who is already a qualified NBA starting center player. Many teams have begun to try privately. Contact him and want to poach the Knicks.

But this is a digression.

Today's game is the most important thing.

After the warm-up time, players from both sides came to the field.

Su Ye leaned over and looked at Duncan and Jordan who were preparing to jump the ball in front of him, and also smiled and shouted to Duncan.

"Tim!"

"They were all ready today."

Tim Duncan still glanced expressionlessly.

"Oh."
