Chapter 187 New Lineup

Dallas, American Airlines Center.

For Dallas fans tonight, it has a certain meaning, because this is a game about the Texas Civil War.

Derby matches are more attractive to the audience than ordinary games.

What's more, the top three in Texas have always been at a very high level. Since 2000, if the Spurs ranked first, then the Mavericks must be able to rank second. Although the Rockets have Yao Mai, they can only rank after 2000 in terms of honor and record. In the third place (of course, in the 90s, the Rockets were No. [-] in Texas because of the dream of leading the team for two consecutive championships).

However, Mr. Cuban, the owner of the Mavericks, has never admitted that he has always been the biggest fan of his team, and he is willing to spend money.Both the home team and the visiting team's locker room at the American Airlines Center arena are very luxurious, and Cuban often pays out of his own pocket to distribute hamburgers and cola to fans who come to watch the game at home...

When encountering such a stupid boss with a lot of money, oh no, a boss with a good person and a lot of money, who wouldn’t work hard?

Just because Cuban treated Wang Zhizhi well back then, domestic fans didn't criticize him very much.

Dolan, who didn't watch the Knicks, has always been the representative of "people who are stupid and rich" in the mouths of domestic fans. Cuban is still very cute in the eyes of fans.

But it's a pity that he didn't catch up with the good times that year. If he played well in the Mavericks, the home team of domestic fans may be the Mavericks.

Of course, this is just thinking about it.

Qin Yan sat in the Mavericks' luxurious visiting team locker room, changing his own clothes, especially the special protective gear.Although he used to play without protective gear because of his good health, but after the team's generals were injured in succession, the team doctor is now forcing every player to wear protective gear, at least ankle protectors.

Although Qin Yan doesn't like protective gear, he usually wears wrist guards to play cool, but he knows that the team doctor is considering his career, so he also wears ankle braces and knee pads to protect these two important joints .

This is already his limit, don't expect Qin Yan to play in pantyhose that looks like black stockings like Duncan, Qin Yan feels ashamed...

I don't know what's so good about that thing, Duncan and Ginobili both wear it, maybe it's because older people have a habit of cross-dressing...

After changing the protective gear first, Qin Yan also began to look at the teammates around him and this luxurious locker room. Even he had to say that Cuban is a real person. Many teams will give the visiting team all kinds of insults for the victory of the home team. Tripzi, the locker room will be very simple, and there are not many people like him who will give the visiting team such good conditions.

Classmate Cuban used the best hardware to forcibly smash the Mavericks into a Western powerhouse, and he dared to use international people. After so many years, the head star has been a German...and once turned the Mavericks into an international team. Team……

Duncan and his gang have been here many times, and they said they are used to the local tyrants of the Mavericks. Their boss is not that rich, and the Spurs' own arena facilities can only be regarded as mediocre.

There is another person who also belongs to Chu Ding, and this person is even more nervous now, that is Whiteside who just joined the Spurs. Although the team held a welcome ceremony for him yesterday, he is still very nervous and is letting the air go.

After all, he is a rookie, so he has to worry about many things, such as whether he can play today.

Popovich came in from the outside at this time, and seeing Whiteside still in a daze, he couldn't laugh or cry: "Hassan, what are you doing? Why don't you change your clothes?"

"Ah, I..." Whiteside woke up from the air, and then blushed, eager to explain something, "I was thinking about some problems just now, and I definitely won't appear so early..."

Others in the locker room looked at this teammate a little funny, what is this doing, the coach will not eat you.

Popovich was also angry and funny, and scolded with a smile, "Hurry up and change your clothes, and then come over to listen to the tactical arrangements, and you will be on the court in half an hour and you are still in a daze!"

Seeing that the coach was not angry, Whiteside quickly took off his clothes and changed into his team uniform. His movements were quite slippery.

This kid is still worried that if he can't get it done quickly, he will be expelled from the team.

Duncan and other veterans knew why Whiteside was like this at a glance, and the big brother Duncan hooked his neck directly, "Hassan, now you have signed with the team, and you will not be fired casually." Yes, you don't have to be so nervous."

After being comforted by the team boss, Whiteside was relieved. Looking at the room full of teammates smiling with concern, he felt embarrassed himself.

"Okay, come here, let's talk about today's starting lineup." Popovich looked at Whiteside, who was still a little shy, and beckoned him to sit down quickly.

"Okay, now I'll announce today's starting lineup." After everyone came to surround the city, Popovich said, "Point guard, Patty."

"What? Me?" Mills was dumbfounded, with a look of disbelief?How could it be me, shouldn't it be Tracy?
"Ah what, you can do it if you are told, so much nonsense." Popovich just glared at him, while Ginobili slapped him and taught him a lesson.

"Shooting guard, Qin."

This is no accident. Since Qin Yan came to the Spurs, as long as he is not rested, he is the starting shooting guard.

"Small forward, Kawhi."

Leonard nodded silently. There is actually no suspense about this. Qin Yan focuses on Leonard's defense, and the division of labor between the Spurs' outside stars is very clear.

"Power forward, Tim."

Duncan shrugged. He was used to Popovich calling him that every time before games.What's more, there is an old driver on the opposite side today, who else can deal with him except Duncan?
"Center..." Popovich finally read the last name. He paused for a moment, then scanned his subordinates, and then fixed his eyes on a person's face. "Center, Hassan."

Whiteside was dumbfounded when he heard his name!

What?Am I really the starting center?I was on the bench in the NBDL two days ago, and I'm starting in the NBA today?Oh mom, am I dreaming?If so, I hope not to wake up...

"Hassan!" Duncan finally couldn't stand it anymore, and put his arms around Whiteside's head, "Stop drooling, get ready, and start in a while. The first game, don't be ashamed, you know?"

"Yes!" Whiteside stood up abruptly, saluting everyone like a soldier.

"Oh, what is this for? Hassan, do you think this is a Boy Scout training camp?"

"That's right, even if the coach has been a soldier, he has never been an instructor."

"Hey, how do you know? You were in the Boy Scouts?"

"Nonsense, don't you?"

……

After listening to the arrangement, the teammates walked outside while arguing and joking. It was almost time, and it was time to start.

Whiteside was still a little dazed in the locker room, and now, even Qin Yan couldn't stand it anymore.

"Crack!" He kicked Whiteside's ass. "He's on the field! Our big center forward!"

"Yes!"
