With a 39-point victory over the Warriors, STO overachieved the first task of the new season.

After a simple rinse, Shentong couldn't wait to enter the Basketball God Space and obtain the mission reward props: blue tile fragments.

When this cyan fragment with a faint pink light shining around it was displayed on the hand, small blue letters with details appeared out of thin air around it.

{

Props: blue tile fragments

Details: Fairy artifact fragments from the prehistoric period. Collecting 10 fragments can form the ancient scripture - Dao Wen Jing.

It is said that the Dao Wen Jing is a kind of footsteps written on tiles, which has the magical effect of changing gods and changing stars.

It should be noted that one stroke and one stroke means "person", adding a horizontal line means "big", adding a vertical line means "wood", and the upper right point becomes "shu".

If you learn the "Tao Wen Sutra", you will be able to master the steps on the court!

The highest limit of basketball steps.

}

After reading through it, Shen Tong realized the origin of this "green tile fragment".

Shen Tong, who is extremely intelligent, understood the philosophy contained in "Dao Wen Jing" simply from the examples of "people", "big", "wood" and "shu".

Just adding one stroke can change it into a completely different word and meaning.

The same is true for the steps on the court. They all seem to be walking on two legs, but different uses, even small differences, will produce completely different effects.

But what difference will it make?

What steps will STO have yet to understand?

All this made Shentong unable to help but feel itchy.

It's like STO got a copy of "Playgirl" for the first time but didn't even have time to open it.

He read the details again and couldn't help but sigh.

It takes 10 fragments to form this ancient scripture, which is not easy!

However, everything has a beginning. Shentong carefully placed this piece of blue tile, which was about the size of a palm, on the prop bar of the Basketball God Space and preserved it.

...

On the afternoon of the second day after the Cavaliers' first regular season game, when Shentong came to the arena to prepare for training, I heard Varejao keep mumbling something in Brazilian.

"Hey, Dajuan, what's wrong with this guy? It's like someone owes him money."

Before Wagner could speak, James said, "Why, don't you know yet? The league has issued a clothing ban."

"Clothing ban? Has it been discussed and decided by the players union?"

"No, no. It was directly promulgated by the Alliance."

After James finished speaking, Wagner quickly interjected: "After the promulgation of this ban, all NBA players must wear the same clothes when participating in team or league activities, including going to the competition venue, leaving the arena, participating in various activities and other public appearances.

'Business casual'."

"Not only that, players will also be prohibited from wearing sleeveless shirts, shorts, T-shirts, necklaces, pendants, badges on their clothes, and sunglasses indoors, except on team buses, planes and locker rooms.

No headphones are allowed, and sweatshirts and baseball caps are also prohibited during the post-game press conference." Varejao also joined the discussion.

It turns out that it was the entire ban that Varejao was complaining about just now.

STO also felt that the ban was a bit abrupt and came too suddenly.

You must know that most of the players in the league are black. Originally, most black people love hip-hop style dressing. This clothing ban will obviously be resented by many black players.

Sure enough, the first one to stand up was Allen Iverson of the Philadelphia 76ers.

Iverson, who loves hip-hop style, is simply the opposite of the entire clothing ban.

As a popular star in the league, Iverson took the lead in expressing his dissatisfaction and opposition to this clothing ban.

"I really don't understand, playing is just playing, what does it have to do with what I wear? As long as I step on the court, I will devote 100% of my energy to the game, but now that this ban has been issued, I even have to measure myself before the game. Check whether the length of the shorts exceeds the knee."

In addition to Iverson, what is surprising is that Duncan, who has always been naive, also came out to express his opposition.

Although he has never been good at speaking, Duncan still spoke for the players.

"I think this ban came too suddenly, and we were not even prepared. I think the league should reconsider this ban. It is harmful to the entire league."

Raja Bell from the Phoenix Suns also said: "We are not selling to those big companies. Our real buyers are the children and young people who come to the NBA to enjoy the 'hip-hop' world. This regulation seems Wrong person."

As a very influential and popular star, STO also stands on the side of the players.

"I know that the league's management believes that it is necessary to improve the league's discipline and improve the image of the players in the minds of fans, especially after the brawl at the Palace of Auburn Hills last November, but I think the content of this ban goes beyond it. It will make the players feel very uncomfortable, because players are the real core assets of the NBA."

The continuous speeches of many heavyweight players have made NBA Commissioner David Stern reconsider the content of this ban.

In the end, Stern made some compromises.

For example, the clothing ban is limited to official events and inside the stadium, and does not need to be observed at other commercial activities, team activities and off-field activities.

This time, the players won.

...

After experiencing the controversy over the clothing ban, the Cavaliers are heading to Chicago for a three-game road trip.

On the plane, Wagner was complaining about the schedule arranged by the league.

"After one home game, we have to play three away games in a row. This schedule is really bad."

"Hey, Dajuan, don't complain, the schedule of the defending champion has always been like this, just get used to it." James comforted.

Shentong sounded a little stern and said: "Dajuan, put your temper away. We are the defending champions. If we want to defend the title, we have to pay huge efforts and costs. This kind of schedule is nothing to us. What's more?" There are many greater difficulties and challenges waiting for us. When we encounter mountains and rivers, we must build bridges. What we have to do is not to complain, but to do things well."

The boss's slightly harsh words made Wagner quiet down instantly.

"Yes, Shin, it's my fault."

With Wagner's example, all the other players stayed quiet, doing their own thing, and no one said a word about anything outside the game that might damage the team's morale.

...

The game against the Chicago Bulls is scheduled for November 4th.

On this day, the Bulls will hold a jersey retirement ceremony for Scottie Pippen.

It is said that Michael Jordan, Phil Jackson, Dennis Rodman and others will participate.

I heard that Jordan and others would be watching the game at the scene, and the Cavaliers players were very excited.

James even said that he would perform well in front of Jordan and Pippen.
