The invincible kryptonite of basketball

But in fact, the hostility between the two races has never been eliminated, but because of the existence of the law, they dare not speak out.

After Green said this, Tang Tian suddenly understood many things.

The Mavericks have an owner who is willing to spend a lot of money, Mark Cuban. Dallas belongs to Texas and is one of the few places in the United States that is exempt from state taxes.

But they have been unable to recruit big-name stars, and last year's winning lineup was also a single-core Nowitzki.

And even if you look at the history of the Mavericks, basically the stars are all white, and basically you can't see black players.

It seems that Green is right. The city is really not generally hostile to non-whites.

Tang Tian nodded to indicate that he understood, and he is not the kind of person who likes to go out and wander around.

The game between the Spurs and the Mavericks is imminent, and the local media is also very hot. After all, this is the Texans' favorite Civil War game.

Although the Mavericks have declined in strength this season, the enthusiasm of the Dallas people is still quite high.

To put it bluntly, it doesn't matter if you win or not in other games, you must win the civil war, it doesn't matter whether you lose or not in other games, you must never lose in the civil war!

Not only the local media promoted the game with a lot of gimmicks, the domestic media also created a lot of momentum for this game on the other side of the ocean.

In addition to being a civil war in Texas, this is also a Chinese player derby!

Tang Tian played for the Spurs, while Yi Jianlian played for the Mavericks.

In the past offseason during the lockout, NBA players who signed with domestic CBA teams were forced to stay and play because they did not include the option to opt out, such as Smith, Wilson Chandler and others.

But Yi Jianlian is a special case because he is Chinese, and he has the option to jump out.

It's just that because of his own strength and injuries, he didn't find a satisfactory contract after the end of his rookie contract.

In the end, he only reached a minimum salary contract with the Mavericks.

And judging from the previous few games, he did not enter the regular rotation of the Mavericks.

The average playing time is less than 10 minutes per game, and all technical statistics are also career lows.

But in this way, the opportunity is more cherished.

Because according to this momentum, Yi Jianlian is likely to fade out of the league after the end of this season. If he wants to have a derby at that time, he doesn't know that he will have to wait until the year of the monkey.

Thanks to the fact that the Spurs and the Mavericks are in the same division, they will play four times this season, and each time must be well-publicized.

That night, the American Airlines Center Stadium in Dallas was packed.

Completely different from the Spurs' home court, the Mavericks just won the championship last season, coupled with low arena tickets, the team's attendance has remained high.

This is another civil war, and there are many fans standing in the aisle.

During the warm-up training before the game, Tang Tian went over to say hello to Yi Jianlian, who didn't seem very emotional.

The two didn't know each other before, and a few simple greetings were regarded as meeting each other.

The pre-match warm-up is over, followed by the opening ceremony.

The lights were dimmed, and the cheers on the scene were already overwhelming.

Dallas people are enthusiastic, and the basketball atmosphere here is really rare in the league.

Mark Cuban stood in the front row of the auditorium wearing a blue ball uniform, accompanied by the introduction of the host, and cheered with the fans beside him.

If you don't know him, it's really hard to recognize him as the owner of this team.

This is the only owner in the league who loves basketball so much that he is obsessed.

It is said that he will go to the arena for three-point shooting training three hours before every game, and he will shout like a crazy die-hard fan during the game.

Of course it's more than that, the Mavericks' cheap game tickets, the most luxurious locker room in the league, etc., all of these can explain his love.

If it weren't for the hostility problem Green said earlier, more black stars came to the city, and the Mavericks' championship journey would not be so difficult.

After the opening ceremony, the starting players of the two teams appeared one after another.

The Spurs have a regular start here, with Parker and Green on the outside, Jefferson and Duncan on the striker, and after Blair came off the bench, they returned to the starting lineup.

On the Mavericks side, Kiddja Carter on the outside, the original Nets Trident, later in his career, he partnered with the Mavericks to start.

Up front are Marion and Nowitzki, and center is Brandon Haywood.

From the starting lineup of the Mavericks, it can be seen why Cuban broke up the championship lineup in the summer. After leaving so many veterans, there are still a bunch of veterans left.

The five starters are all 30+ years old, and the average age of the entire team is higher than that of the Spurs.

Duncan and Haywood's jump ball, Duncan used his wingspan to dial the ball back to the half court, and gave the Spurs the opportunity to attack first.

Parker's AI hammer tactics to the frontcourt, Green got a chance in the bottom corner and hit a three-pointer after receiving a pass from Jefferson.

After a wave of winning streak at home, Green's touch has finally recovered.

Kidd dribbled to the frontcourt, and the Mavericks also played tactically.

The head coach of the Mavericks, Carlisle, is very similar to Popovich. They are both tactical coaches.

Both teams play tactics, and they are both too old. As a result, the rhythm on the court will be very slow.

But this is not a problem for the Dallas fans at all. They have already started to cheer for the home team under the leadership of DJ.

In the sound of refueling, Carter Sr. broke into the basket and caused Blair's pulling foul and got two free throws.

Two free throws were made, and the Mavericks were not to be outdone.

In the first half of the first quarter, the scores of the two teams have been deadlocked.

The change happens after the first rotation.

The Spurs have Tang Tian, ​​Leonard and Splitter on their side, and the Mavericks have Terry, Beaubois, Odom and Mahinmi on their side.

The Spurs still played well, but the Mavericks basically played around Terry.

Terry didn't feel good tonight, and after Tang Tian went all out to guard, the Mavericks' offense became very constipated.

This situation became more obvious after both sides entered the full-substitute lineup one after another.

After halftime, the Spurs had a 45-30 lead over the Mavericks by as much as 15 points.

In the second half, not only did this situation not change, but it became more obvious. Even Nowitzki and Marion started to fight one after another.

After three quarters, the Mavericks trailed by 25 points, and the situation was over.

The Spurs are in excellent state of winning streak, and the Mavericks are not in a good state when their strength declines. This Texas civil war has attracted a lot of attention, but it is completely one-sided.

When the game progressed to more than 4 minutes into the fourth quarter and the point difference reached 30 points, the two sides had already started to send players at the end of the bench to exercise.

Nearly one-third of the audience also left. No matter how hardcore the fans are, they don't want to watch the home team being slaughtered. It's still a civil war that they attach great importance to.

Cuban's blue jersey hasn't been as lucky for the Mavericks as it was last season.

But at this time, domestic fans became excited.

The lineup on the court at this time, the Spurs are Joseph, Neal, James Anderson, Malcolm Thomas and Splitter.

On the Mavericks side are Beaubois, Dominic Jones, Sean Williams, Brian Cardinal and Yi Jianlian.

Yi Jianlian was finally replaced in garbage time!

On the first attack, Yi Jianlian took the initiative to screen for Bubois. The quality of the screen was not bad. Bubois misplaced Splitter and scored a layup.

Looking back, Neal missed a three-pointer from the outside, and Yi Jianlian stuck Splitter to receive a defensive rebound.

One offense and one defense, it can be seen that his personal competitive state is not bad.

The Mavericks' offense, Yi Jianlian continued to pick and roll, this time Jones broke through and chose to pass the ball back.

Yi Jianlian received the ball one step inside the three-point line, an open opportunity, but his shot was a bit slow, and after being interfered by Splitter, he missed a long two-pointer.

The Spurs played a counterattack, and Joseph assisted Anderson to score a fast break.

Both teams played relatively fast, and the 8-minute garbage time ended quickly.

After Yi Jianlian failed to make a mid-range shot, he didn't receive a pass from his teammates. Later, he rushed to grab an offensive rebound and made a foul. He made two free throws and one.

最后的数据统计板，2投0中，1分2板1犯规。

Tang Tian watched the whole game from the sidelines. Yi Jianlian was actually in good form, but his style of play was really limited.

His style of play is that kind of core style of play. He can perform to a certain extent with the possession of the ball, but his performance is limited, and without the possession of the ball, his performance is very problematic.

And in this kind of garbage time, everyone is busy collecting data, you don't grasp an open opportunity, and as an insider, you have very few chances to touch the ball.

At the end of the game, the players from both sides prepared to leave after the final handshake ceremony.

In the Chinese Derby, Zhang Weiping also came to the scene. After the game, he took Tang Tian and Yi Jianlian to interview for a short period.

It was nothing more than some polite questions, and Tang Tian's answer was fairly official.

Yi Jianlian was in a bad mood, and his answers were basically limited to short words such as "um, yes, yes".

After the interview, the two greeted each other and prepared to go to their respective locker rooms.

"Chinese! Trash! Bastard!" At this moment, a fan who hadn't left the field shouted at Yi Jianlian in the field.

On the night of the massacre, the fans were in a bad mood, and now they vented all their negative emotions on Yi Jianlian, who is of yellow race.

Hearing this, Tang Tian stopped in his tracks. Now he finally understood how serious Green's hostility was. He really scolded even his own people!

Yi Jianlian glanced at the fan, lowered his head as if he hadn't heard and continued to move forward. It seems that this is not the first time he has encountered such a thing.

Tang Tian walked over to grab the ball on the technical table, held it with one hand, and then yelled at the fan.

"You have the guts to say something more!"

Chapter 186 Tang Tian's Suggestion (4/5) (Revised)

Tang Tian became violent this time, Yi Jianlian was stunned, and the fan was also stunned.

"What the hell..." the fans just opened their mouths.

"boom!"

Tang Tian threw the ball directly at the auditorium, and the fan was so frightened that he almost became impotent.

Tang Tian is really badass!

Seeing that Tang Tian was about to climb up, the fan hurriedly turned around and slipped away.

Fans are just ordinary people, if they really want to fight with professional players, they can only get beaten.

"Thank you." Yi Jianlian said with a little gratitude at this time.

"Let's have supper together later."

Tang Tian said that it is really not easy for the Chinese to play in the NBA.

Yi Jianlian nodded.

After returning to the locker room and taking a shower, and saying hello to Green, Tang Tian then went to the garage below.

Yi Jianlian is now No.1 in domestic basketball. He has played in the NBA for another four or five years, and his economic conditions are still very good.

A Porsche Cayenne came over for the home game, greeted Tang Tian, ​​and then drove out of the basement.

"It's not bad to have a Chinese restaurant here, and there are several cuisines in it."

Yi Jianlian has stayed here for a few months, and he is considered to be half the host.

Tang Tian nodded. Speaking of which, he ate a lot of Western food after time travel. It was a rare opportunity to have a Chinese meal together when he met someone from China abroad.

Yi Jianlian is from Cantonese, so he can eat anything, and Tang Tian can eat anything, so the two of them can order quickly.

After ordering dishes, Yi Jianlian looked shy and chatted about some trivial matters in life, but it was actually okay after he actually chatted.

I can feel his shyness in the NBA, largely because of the language barrier.

"Are you still learning English?" Tang Tian asked.

"Learning, but I'm not very good at learning. I can understand, but I can't speak well." Yi Jianlian said with a wry smile.

The players trained by the CBA club have been in the training hall since they were young. They don't have much time to study, and their learning ability is naturally relatively poor.

This is probably one of the reasons why most of them are introverted. Because they don't have much contact with the outside world, they know that if they speak too much, they will lose their words, so they are more silent.

"Language is something that needs to be said more, you can make more phone calls with your translator, or you can pay someone to live with you.
