This is compared with Olson's father, and he definitely fell in love with him.

"My grandma said, if you don't accept the words, she will never see me again, so..."

Tang Tian couldn't help laughing. This old man is so interesting. If you have the chance in the future, you must meet him.

"Okay, then I'll accept it."

Tang Tian said as he picked up the bracelet and the box.

Olson showed a happy smile on his face.

The Mavericks arrived in San Antonio one day in advance and also conducted warm-up training in the training hall next door in the morning.

Nowitzki and Terry were talking and laughing, and Carter dunked with Brandon Wrightby, and the atmosphere of the team looked very relaxed.

This team is dominated by veterans and they are full of playoff experience.

Although they advanced as eighth in the West and played against the Spurs in the first round, it is difficult to see a nervous look on their faces.

After the training, most of the players declined media interviews with head coach Carlisle and went straight back to the locker room.

However, Jason Terry is an exception. He has always been a big mouth. He was called to stop by Nowitzki for a verbal fight in the finals last year, and he was completely unconfident to the interview.

"Jason, the Spurs have played against the Mavericks four times in the past 20 years, but you have lost three of them. Will this affect your confidence in the series?"

The reporter is from San Antonio. The older female reporter Katherine, who was interviewed by Tang Tian last time, was very aggressive.

"I don't remember that many times, we have played against them twice since I joined this team, 1 win and 1 loss, and this will be our second win to win the series."

Terry was indeed a big mouth, and he was not polite at all for his answer.

Catherine smiled. Terry only joined the Mavericks in 2004, so this is actually OK.

"The last time we met the two teams was in 2006. At that time, your record was the best in the West, but this time we challenged the best in the West as the eighth in the West. Is there any difference?"

Catherine continued to ask.

"You know we've also experienced eighth and first games, and that was in 2007, and we've experienced black eight." Terry said, scratching his forehead.

Catherine nodded. That year's Mavericks had just been reversed by the Heat in the 2006 Finals. After another season of running-in, the strength reached its peak.

The best 67 wins in the team history of the season, and was preparing to avenge the previous shame, but was eliminated 4-2 by the Warriors in the first round, creating the most classic Black Eight Miracle in NBA history.

"So we have experience in this area, we have experienced it, and we have learned it, and we know how to compete with the West as the eighth place."

Terry continued, and it turned out that the previous passage was a prelude to it, and he was still confident in saying this.

Catherine felt helpless. Terry was not so easy to deal with, just like Tang Tian he had interviewed before.

"Oh by the way, I remember something, you need to give Tang Tian of the Spurs."

Terry took the initiative to say to Catherine at this time.

Catherine looked puzzled, why did Terry suddenly mention Tang Tian?

"You know that Richard (Jefferson) and I are both Arizona alumni. When Kang-Da and Arizona played the round of 32 last year, I agreed with him that he would eliminate his team in the playoffs to win the championship. Now he has left the Spurs, but among the people that day, Don was in the Spurs, so this agreement is still valid."

Terry continued.

Last year, when Cong Da and Arizona fought against the University of Arizona, Terry and Jefferson went to the scene.

Terry failed to invite Jefferson to join the Mavericks, and both of them said they would eliminate the other party and win the championship.

Now that Jefferson unexpectedly left the Spurs, Terry counted the debt to Tang Tian.

Catherine didn't expect that there would be another one, but compared to the previous two questions, this is obviously her preferred answer.

I shouted from afar before the game, saying that I would directly provoke a fight between the two sides like last year's finals.

Katherine was released soon after Terry's interview.

In the era of rapid development of self-media, these words quickly reached the ears of Spurs players.

There are still 2 hours left before the start of the game, and the players on both sides enter the field one after another.

Spurs members began to change clothes in the locker room.

"Don, did you hear it? That guy Jason is shouting at you from a distance."

Dior said to Tang Tian with a smile.

"What?"

Tang Tian hasn't read social media these two days and doesn't know what Terry said.

Dior told him.

After hearing this, Tang Tian couldn't help but smile bitterly. How could the agreement between Terry and Jefferson be forced to count on him?

"Don't care about that, that guy keeps like this, don't affect the game state because of his words."

Ginobili spoke and reminded him at this time.

"I know, didn't he say he had an agreement with Richard? Then he should go to the Bobcats."

Tang Tian said with a smile.

Terry's purpose of doing this is similar to what Ginobili said.

Although Terry said it was easy, it was never easy to play the first place in the eighth place. Looking at the history of the NBA, there have been only 4 times in the 55 years since its establishment.

To complete such a low-probability event, you can only use this kind of external move except for praying for the other party to have injuries or internal conflicts.

Of course, Terry is also changing direction to cheer the Mavericks up.

But no matter what it was, Tang Tian didn't take it seriously.

If Jefferson had a good relationship with him like Green, he would have said he would help with a verbal battle, but the problem was that he had a bad relationship with Jefferson.

And Jefferson is not in the Spurs now, and he is full and he is going to take on such a verbal battle.

Half an hour before the game, Budenholzer came to greet the players to the schedule.

There was no slogan chanting before going on stage, and the players walked out of the locker room calmly.

The Spurs are determined to win the championship this season, although their opponent is the defending champion Mavericks.

But for them, this is just the first round of the game. All they have to do is to win the opponent steadily and make a good start.

Tang Tian and the team members walked out of the locker room together.

Today's ATT Center Arena is a bit different from the past. The scene is bustling and occupancy rates are full, which is the first time since the season.

Like Dallas fans, they encountered the Texas Civil War and were in the playoffs. Even San Antonio fans could hardly sit at home anymore.

Tang Tian saw many fans holding the "Godfather" sign, mixed with some small number of "Tang Ritian".

As his performance gets better, his fan base in Holy City is also increasing.
