Chapter 577 Cuban: Old K tonight is the night of our calf's revenge
At ten past eight o'clock, the away team starts, then the home team.
All the players lined up on both sides of the player tunnel, waiting for the protagonist to appear.
"Welcome back the Sun King!"
Amidst the fierce DJ music, colorful fireworks began to be fired, and then as the host roared excitedly, Wang Tiejun appeared in the light pillar at the entrance of the players' tunnel. At this moment, the American West Arena was boiling
.
"Sun King! Sun King! Sun King..."
More than 19,000 Suns fans wearing jersey No. 33 all stood up and began to cheer wildly. The entire American West Arena and the entire Phoenix were cheering, shouting, and boiling.
The old king kept waving to the fans and was very excited.
It's a completely different feeling here than in the Lakers. He has feelings for this place. In the Lakers, he was just fighting for the championship. His only wish in this comeback is to create a dynasty for the Suns.
After circling the court for a week, he came to the middle of the court, where Mrs. John and old Colangelo were waiting for him.
"Old K, welcome back!" After the hug, Old Colangelo said with a smile on his face.
"It feels good to be back here. I feel like I'm going home. I like it very much," he said seriously.
The elder Colangelo said sincerely: "The team has never retired your jersey or built a statue in your honor. We just hope you can come back. Now everything is complete.
Old K, even if you can no longer bring us a championship, even if you can't score 20+ in a game, even if your time has passed, if you can come back, then everything will be wonderful.
We just hope you can come back. You belong to Phoenix, not Los Angeles, not the Lakers. You are our Sun King and will always be. This will always be your home."
"Sun King! Sun King..."
Old Colangelo's words were approved by all the fans, who responded with warm applause, and the Sun King's shouts rang out again.
After hugging and greeting Mrs. John, Lao Wang turned to the host's microphone beside him and looked at the countless fans. His eyes were red and he loudly said excitedly: "Friends, I'm back! From now on, I will only be for the sun."
Fight as a team!"
"boom!"
The entire American West Arena was drowned out by the shouts of "Sun King". The scene was completely boiling. Countless old fans covered their faces and cried. They finally welcomed back their Sun King.
…
At this time, countless fans in the country were complaining that the first home game of Old K's comeback did not broadcast the game live, but the Lakers game.
Do the Lakers have Krzysztof? After Krzysztof retired, everyone continued to watch the Lakers. Now Krzysztof has come back and returned to the Suns. Instead of broadcasting Suns games, they still broadcast Lakers games. Isn’t it crazy?
Fortunately, Sports Minister Lin Shengming has already taken measures and is sending people to the United States to discuss with the NBA to increase the number of live broadcasts of the Suns, which can be regarded as a way to make up for the situation.
However, judging from past experience, the NBA will not accept the adjustment of the number of games. The most likely thing is that CCTV will sign another broadcast contract and increase the number of games played by the Suns alone.
…
This game was Lao Wang's first home game since his comeback. He still exploded with all his strength, scoring 50+ points on the Cavaliers' heads, but he didn't kill the Cavaliers like he did the Sonics.
After the game, Te Yinlongbul came over to him in disgrace and said: "Old K, I will treat you another day, please be merciful."
Lao Wang smiled awkwardly and said: "I can't help it. It's my first home game after my comeback. I can't do it better if I don't play well. You should understand."
"I understand," Hill said quickly.
Can he not understand? If he doesn't understand, next time Old K may score 70 points in three quarters on the Cavaliers.
After playing against the Cavaliers, the Suns set off overnight and rushed to Dallas, where they will play the Mavericks away from home tomorrow.
The Mavericks are now a strong team with three All-Stars who average 20+ per game. They have directly stacked the lineup to the championship level. They are extremely powerful in the league. This season, from the boss Cuban to the players, the ambitions are very high.
big.
The Suns and the Mavericks have a lot of grievances. Due to racial discrimination, Old K once had a serious conflict with the Mavericks on the court.
It was his rookie season, and Barkley was still with the Suns. He violently beat Terry Davis, the then Mavericks power forward, on the spot, causing the opponent to be sidelined for more than a month.
Since then, the Mavericks have become mortal enemies with the Suns and him. Whether they are in the Suns or the Lakers, every time they encounter the Mavericks, they will start a massacre. With the strength of the Mavericks in those years, they can't resist at all.
No, so in the past nine seasons, the Mavericks have been slaughtered by him nearly 30 times. The grievance between him and the Mavericks has become so great that it cannot be resolved.
In the past, the Mavericks were not strong enough to take revenge. Now the Mavericks think they are stronger than the Suns, so the Mavericks fans are looking forward to beating the Suns.
Starting from the past two days, the media in Dallas began to incite fans and start to incite hatred. As one of the most racially discriminatory cities in the United States, the media's instigation was too easy, and it immediately received responses from countless Ladas.
Late at night, the Suns' team bus arrived at the arranged hotel, and unexpectedly found hundreds of Mavericks fans waiting for them.
"Suns, get out of Dallas!"
"Old K, get out of the United States!"
Radical white fans, no, they should be said to be racists, yelled at the Suns players who got off the car, and blocked the front to prevent the team from entering.
"These bastards!"
Lao Wang cursed harshly.
Originally, according to the Suns' plan, after playing the first two games and allowing him to make a perfect comeback, he would take fewer shots, cooperate with the team to build an offensive and defensive tactical system, and hone the newcomers, but now it seems that he has to postpone one game.
Okay, these stupid racists need to be taught a lesson.
After finally entering the hotel, what we were waiting for was not warm service. The service staff were all locals with the slogan "I am a racist" engraved on their faces. The Suns stayed up all night and finally waited until dawn.
All are dark circles.
"Continue to rest in the morning, and postpone the afternoon training for one hour." There was no other way, so D'Antoni had no choice but to arrange it this way.
At two o'clock in the afternoon on the 2nd, the Suns' team bus arrived at the American Airlines Arena, the home of the Mavericks.
This brand-new arena was invested and built by Cuban and was only completed in 2001. It is somewhat similar to Lao Wang’s K-era Sports Center Basketball Arena. The appearance is a bit retro, but it is full of high-tech inside and can accommodate up to 19,200 people.
It was put into use only after Wang retired.
However, the bus was blocked by Mavericks fans outside the arena. It was obvious that these guys did not want the Suns to go in for training.
Colangelo Jr. had no choice but to contact arena security or even call the police for help, but it was of no avail. The Suns were in the arena a hundred meters away until 4 p.m., and they had to wait in the locker room to change.
It was almost five o'clock when I started training with good equipment.
"Everyone, hurry up and move your body, we still have one hour." Mike D'Antoni shouted very depressedly.
A group of people were locked in a bus for more than two hours. They didn't sleep well and were in a bad mood. After an hour of training, they were obviously out of shape.
Before going to eat, Lao Wang called an old team member aside and said: "Luke, these Mavericks bastards want to retaliate. Next time they come to our place, we will have a few litters with our characteristics to welcome them."
, look out for those cute little ones with their fangs removed.”
"OK."
Luke agreed without hesitation.
This game is the home court of the Mavericks. There is no national live broadcast, only regional broadcasters.
At eight o'clock, the two teams announced their starting lineup.
Suns: Wang Tiejun, Tom Gugliotta, Marion, Anfernee Hardaway, Nash
Mavericks: Sean Bradley, Dirk Nowitzki, Michael Finley, Adrian Griffin, Marbury
"Shh!"
Buzz, buzz, when the Suns' substitute players came on the field, there were huge boos at the American Airlines Center, and countless middle fingers were raised.
Playing away games in a city full of racial discrimination, every game is like a war. A dozen players from the away team have to challenge nearly 20,000 home fans. The pressure on the away team players is extremely high, and their mental quality is slightly poor, so they can't perform well.
will become abnormal.
"Attention, any of their racially discriminatory behavior was filmed, and we have to appeal to the league." Colangelo Jr. told the team's staff.
"Bang!"
When Ewing was on the stage, he was hit by a lighter thrown from the audience. This thing was not disposable, but made of copper. It hurt his head and made his face turn red with anger.
"Old K had better score 100 points on them tonight and kill those sons of bitches!" Honest Man also got angry and yelled at a group of teammates.
"This is a war."
In the visiting team's locker room, through a live broadcast on a local TV station, Wang Tiejun saw the treatment of his teammates when they came out. He turned to the four starting teammates and said: "Their lineup is very strong, even stronger than us. If we want to win against them, we must go all out."
I hope you will give me your greatest support if I can perform even beyond my level."
"Old K, don't worry." Nash and others nodded.
At 8:10, the starting lineup is ready to go out.
The Mavericks arrived first, led by Nowitzki, followed by Marbury, Michael Finley and others.
The core of the Mavericks is very clear, which is to build the team with Germans as the core. This is decided by the boss Cuban. Even Marbury's arrival will not change this at all.
Marbury was very depressed. He couldn't compete with Garnett in the Timberwolves, and he couldn't compete with Yao when he went to the Nets. When he got to the Suns, he heard that K. was coming back and thought he could win the championship with K. But he was not happy for a few days. He didn't wait.
When he saw old K, he was sold to the Mavericks. After arriving in the Mavericks, he had to succumb to Nowitzki. In six years, he changed four teams and became a wanderer, losing his own.
root.
At this time, a series of footsteps sounded in the corridor opposite. Several people looked up at the same time and saw a huge figure walking towards them.
"Old K!"
Their hearts suddenly tightened.
"call!"
Several people even took a deep breath at the same time. They were about to face the first man in history who made a violent comeback, and they couldn't help but become nervous.
Lao Wang strode forward and stopped in front of the five starters of the Mavericks. His huge body matched with his identity and status formed a powerful momentum and full of pressure, which created a strong psychological pressure on the five Nowitzki players.
.
"Hello, old K." The first person to speak was Michael Finley.
"Hello, Michael." Lao Wang nodded and smiled.
In order to get the trolls, the Suns management traded Finley to the Washington Bullets. Now it seems that it would have been better to keep Finley. Finley, who has a good personality, has no ambition, and Kidd is a complete careerist.
, giving the chips for trading Kidd to the Bullets will still get trolls.
"Old K." Marbury greeted depressedly.
"Stephen, you have a bitter face, why?" Lao Wang asked curiously.
Marbury said angrily: "Tell me, Old K, did you ask the Suns to trade me?"
Lao Wang laughed and said, "So what?"
Marbury said angrily: "How am I worse than Nash? That kid has no defense at all. I at least have some defense and my scoring ability is better than him. Why do you look down on me?"
Lao Wang thought for a while and said: "What I need is a real point guard. He is a real point guard, and you are not."
Marbury was a little dissatisfied, but Old K had already given him an answer. If he continued to pester him, he would be asking for trouble, and Old K would not give him a good face, so he did not ask any more questions.
However, after being traded last time, he secretly swore that he planned to make Old K look good when he met him, and today the opportunity came.
The whole Dallas hopes that the Mavericks will beat the Suns tonight. He also hopes to defeat Nash head-on. He wants to let Old K understand that he is the best one.
Then the visiting team came out, and Nash, who returned to the American Airlines Center, was scheduled to play first.
"Shh!"
As Nash came on the stage, huge boos immediately sounded. The Mavericks fans did not give him any face, and they all booed him heartily.
Then Hardaway came on the stage and received the same treatment. When it was Lao Wang's turn to come on the stage, the booing reached its peak. Nearly 20,000 fans roared crazily, with an attitude of never giving up until they spit out their alveoli.
The ceiling of the American Airlines Center is lifted.
Mavericks owner Mark Cuban stood in front of the home team's bench with a smile on his face and kept applauding, fitting in with the atmosphere of the home court and feeling very integrated.
He joined the Mavericks in January 2000. He is a true sports fan. In just two seasons, he built the Mavericks from a bad team to a strong team.
Seeing Old K appear, he walked over and shouted loudly: "Old K, I believe that from now on, this will no longer be a place where you can be arrogant. The revenge of us Dallas people will start tonight."
Lao Wang stopped in front of Cuban, looked down at the dwarf, and shouted loudly: "Mr. Mark Cuban, your wish is good. I suggest you go to Hollywood to find a director to make a movie. I have the title of the movie."
I’ve thought of it for you and called it the Joker’s Revenge, what do you think?”
"What else can I do? I'm going to explode!"
Cuban cursed in his heart, if he hadn't relied on his identity and his strength was not strong enough, he would have fought with Old K with his old fist.
As half past eight is approaching, the starting lineups of both teams are getting ready to take the field.
"Butcher the cow!"
In front of nearly 20,000 home fans, Lao Wang shouted tonight's slogan in a filial manner.
"Shh!"
Huge boos and all kinds of curses immediately erupted from the scene.
"Kill Old K! Kill the Suns! Dallasites, our revenge starts tonight..." an on-site commentator roared angrily.
"Kill old K! Kill the sun..." Under the guidance of the on-site commentator, the American Airlines Center roared with shouts.
Even Lao Wang feels tremendous pressure. The Suns' current lineup is not as good as the Mavericks. In such a terrifying home atmosphere, he is not sure how much his teammates can perform.
But a strong person must have the courage to challenge everything, including the most terrifying away games, and must face them one by one.
He came to the Bulls' terrifying home court, and he also came to the Knicks' home court. So what about the Mavericks' home court?
The calf was slaughtered dozens of times by him, so what if he changed the arena? Beasts are beasts, they can't change people, they just keep slaughtering them!
"Come on!"
Following his sharp shout, the Suns' starting lineup walked onto the court.
Nash and the other four were far less mentally determined than Lao Wang, but with him standing in front, nothing could be seen, except that their faces were a little pale and their legs were a little weak.
