Drew Barrymore flew to Toronto with Yang Jian on a special plane again. This time the Sonics had two days off, so they had time to date.
On the 21st, the SuperSonics faced the Raptors, and on the 22nd they faced the Timberwolves in back-to-back games.
George Karl announced that the entire team will have two days off because he believes that the Sonics have passed this difficult schedule. They have no pressure to win the remaining two consecutive away games, and their opponents are all bad teams outside the playoffs.
The Raptors are slightly better, with a current record of 3 wins and 7 losses; the Timberwolves are at the bottom of the league with 1 win and 8 losses, heading straight for the No. 1 pick.
After a night's rest, Yang Jian and Barrymore had lunch in the hotel and went shopping nearby. The temperature in Toronto was a bit low, so they had to change their outfits before going out to play, otherwise they might catch a cold.
Yang Jian suspected that he was "invulnerable to all poisons" and would not catch a cold, but he did not want to deliberately suffer from the cold to verify this.
If you were to rank the teams that NBA players are least willing to play for, the Raptors would definitely be in the top five.
Now we have the Vancouver Grizzlies and Raptors as companions. In a few years, the Grizzlies will move to Memphis. Vancouver is actually a little warmer than Toronto, but the sports market is really bad.
In a parallel world, the Raptors are the only NBA team not in the United States, so players who play for the Raptors have to travel between their families and the team all year round, which is very troublesome. Moreover, Toronto is located very far north.
The temperature is extremely low. Many away players have complained about the temperature in Toronto. Who of the big-name stars would want to stay here?
The Raptors can only train high-ranking rookies, and it is difficult to retain them after they perform at a high level. In the 2018-2019 season, the Raptors actually won the NBA championship, creating quite a miracle.
If Yang Jian participated in the draft and was selected by the Raptors, he would definitely not want to play here. He is very lucky that he went to extremes when creating his character and lost the draft. It would be terrible if he was selected by a bad team and could not change teams.
But there is no way to delete the account and reopen it.
Tower tour. This is a famous landmark in Canada. It was built in 1970. The tower is 553 meters high and is the tallest communication tower in the world, surpassing the Ostankino Tower in Moscow and the Empire State Building in the United States.
Visitors can play games, shop, and taste delicious food in the tower.
They visited the aquarium first and saw many beautiful sea fish. It was the first time for Yang Jian and his wife to visit the aquarium, and they felt very novel. Some big fish were very beautiful, as if they were fake.
You can also touch the "manta ray" here, which is the kind of fish called manta ray.
The tower is equipped with a number of high-speed glass-covered elevators, which can take tourists to the top of the tower in just 58 seconds. At the top of the tower, tourists can go outside and step on the thrilling glass floor to test their courage.
This is one of the main attractions. After Yang Jian and Barrymore discussed it, they decided to try it out. How can NBA stars and actors who plan to play female agents not have the courage?
They put on special clothes and regretted walking outside under the guidance of the tour guide. It was too high here and it felt very scary.
After the tour guide taught the tourists to use ropes to secure their bodies, they stood on the edge of the glass floor and looked down, overlooking the cityscape of Toronto. The high-rise buildings in the city have become very short. If a person falls, he will definitely be shattered to pieces.
Yang Jian had never tried this kind of entertainment. Even though she knew the rope was well protected, she still felt the urge to urinate, and her two legs were fighting. Barrymore acted even more unbearably, holding his hand tightly and not daring to open his eyes.
People who are afraid of heights will most likely pee if they play this game. It's so exciting.
From the top of the tower, tourists can overlook the beautiful scenery of the entire city of Toronto, Lake Ontario and the islands of Toronto. The two chose the right time, and when they went back indoors for a while, they could also see the sunset in Toronto.
As the sun sets in the west, the pink sunset dyes half of the sky red, and the orange sunset sinks slowly. The picture is shocking and beautiful.
Encountering such a beautiful picture is a good time to take pictures. Under soft light, a mobile phone in the future can also take satisfactory blockbusters. Unfortunately, they did not bring a camera, and current mobile phones are not yet advanced enough to have cameras.
Yang Jian had an idea for this. He would definitely endorse mobile phones in the future, and he chose Apple without any surprise. He also planned to buy a large amount of Apple stock and become a shareholder, which would have a bright future.
Do you also forget to stop and appreciate the scenery along the way every day when you are running hard? Good scenery is all around you. Yang Jian now feels that it is good to play away games frequently and can travel everywhere.
Yang Jian asked Barrymore, who was leaning on his shoulder. "Looking at the sunset, what do you think?"
"I feel a little sleepy." Barrymore yawned. She is not a person who likes to appreciate beautiful scenery, and thinks the sunset is not as beautiful as Yang Jian's muscles.
"Let's go, let's go eat."
They ate at the world's highest and largest revolving restaurant, 350 meters above the ground, enjoying the food and watching the beautiful scenery.
Yang Jian originally thought that this restaurant would be overpriced, but after looking at the menu, she found that it was actually not bad. Maybe in the 1990s, Torontonians had not yet figured out how to rip off people at tourist attractions, or maybe Yang Jian is no longer a poor man and will not feel helpless no matter what he eats.
bear.
There are not many types of dishes. If you don't eat meat, you will eat seafood, snails, salads, green beans, etc. Yang Jian has a better appetite and ordered a lot of food, and neither of them has any dietary restrictions.
After watching the sunset, when the lanterns came on, a dazzling Toronto appeared in front of Yang Jian's eyes. The visual impact was absolutely shocking. Looking down at the lights of thousands of houses, a sense of pride arose leisurely.
Some people like to stand at the top and see the world, just like Yang Jian wants to stand at the top of the NBA.
While Yang Jian was having a romantic date outside, someone was sweating profusely in the training arena. This person was Raptors rookie Damon Stoudemire.
"Little Flying Squirrel" Stoudemire is the No. 7 pick in this year's first round. He is 178cm tall and weighs 78 kilograms. He is a point guard who is very good at breaking through. He is very fast and can also shoot.
In high school, Stoudemire showed outstanding basketball talent. Under his leadership, Wardrow Wilson High School achieved a terrifying record of 74 wins and 4 losses, winning the Oregon State Championship twice in 1989 and 1991.
champion.
In the 1994-95 season, Stoudemire played 30 games for the University of Arizona Wildcats, averaging 36.4 minutes per game, scoring 22.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 1.7 steals. Not only was he once again selected to the Pac-10 first team, but he also became a Pac-
10 league star of the year, and was selected to the All-American first team.
Selected with the seventh overall pick, Stoudemire still feels that he is underestimated and is working hard to prove that he is the strongest among this rookie class. He firmly believes that he has the ability to play well in the NBA, and his goal is to become the best player in the NBA.
Best rookie.
After the start of the regular season, reality gave Stoudemire a loud slap in the face. Almost everyone believed that Yang Jian was the lock for the best rookie. No one thought Stoudemire was underestimated. Who can compare with the undrafted Yang Jian?
More underrated?
Stoudemire refused to accept his fate and wanted to challenge again this season. At least in the game against the SuperSonics, he wanted to challenge Yang Jian and lead the Raptors to victory.
A person who is used to being a star will have strong self-confidence. Stoudemire does not think that he is worse than anyone else, even if Yang Jian created the historical scoring record for a rookie and scored 60.
Stoudemire is eager to win and become a superstar. His statistics are very beautiful, currently 209 are close to a double-double.
Yang Jian stole all the limelight. Stoudemire had beautiful statistics but not many people mentioned him. The news rarely talked about him, which made him envious and jealous of Yang Jian and felt it was very unfair.
He thought that Yang Jian had taken away the attention that should have belonged to him. This guy came out of nowhere and had never been heard of in the NCAA. This was simply a big joke played by God on him, making him unable to laugh.
.
In the last game, he led the Raptors to a narrow victory over the Washington Bullets 103-102. The Raptors also got two days of rest time so that their players could regain their strength and be in top form against the SuperSonics.
If the players don't face off against Yang Jian on the court and just watch the highlights, many people won't be able to understand how strong he is.
Stoudemire became the core of the team when he first joined the Raptors and was a bit bloated. He felt that Yang Jian was not much taller than him and could play well.
The day after tomorrow, he will find that he has chosen the wrong opponent...
