Chapter 201 Thanksgiving
On the fourth Thursday in November, the whole team is moving to prepare for Thanksgiving activities and give back to the society.

Yang Di went to the countryside to do as the Romans did, and participated in it.Together with Fisher and others, they made some exquisite snacks and cakes, and gave some gifts to the children who were specially invited.

For example, he bought [-] pairs of sneakers and other sports equipment from Nike's official website, and gave them all at once on Thanksgiving.

It is tantamount to borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, but it has won the favor of fans.

Apart from the first time, Yang Di's superb craftsmanship won the unanimous approval of everyone.

"I'm going to open a Chinese restaurant soon, next year at the latest." Yang Di announced the news and decided to open a higher-end Chinese restaurant in downtown Auckland. He didn't think about how much money he would make, but only wanted to spread the word about China. food culture.

With more and more exposure of Yang Di, Nancy also gained a lot of fame.

With her outstanding appearance and hot body, Nancy has gained a lot of fans. Some magazines in San Francisco approached Nancy, hoping to invite her to shoot some cover posters. There are endless appointments, and sometimes Yang Di feels that she is busier than him.

In the second half of November, the Warriors suffered some losses, but they also won some games.

After playing the entire month of November, the Warriors actually remained firmly in the eighth position in the Western Conference with 11 wins and 7 losses. This is undoubtedly a severe blow to the faces of some experts.

But the focus of the entire league is not on the Warriors. The Suns have sprung up suddenly, with 12 wins and 2 losses, and they have become the team with the best record in the league so far.Followed by the Spurs, Heat, Pistons, Mavericks and other teams.

This is really surprising. You must know that the Suns had only 29 wins last season, ranking second to last in the West, not even as good as the Warriors.

The head coach has not changed much. The biggest change for the Suns is nothing more than signing Steve Nash with a long-term contract during the offseason.

Nash, who just turned 30, revitalized the entire team with master-level passing techniques, allowing the Suns to completely own their own engine. At the same time, Stoudemire, Sean Marion, Joe Johnson and others all So benefitting, especially Stoudemire, for him, scoring has become easier.

In the first month, Nash averaged 17.1 points and 13.3 assists per game, and Stoudemire averaged 27.4 points per game. One ranked first in assists and one ranked third in scoring.

"Mad scientist" old Nelson's small ball theory seems to have been confirmed at this moment.D'Antoni, such a junior coach, has deeply integrated the idea of ​​​​running and gunning into the Suns. The offensive rhythm of the Suns has become faster and faster. Although there are still many running-in and unsatisfactory places, it is undeniable that such a fast Playing a whirlwind, let the entire NBA shine.

Basketball looks better, which is what Stern wants to see.

But generally speaking, most of the teams in the league are traditional and position-based offensive teams. Many coaches and basketball commentators bluntly said that the tactic of running and bombing can be applied in college, but in the NBA. On the field, sacrificing defense will not go far after all.

Montgomery was also very excited at first, but he "calmed down" after all. During normal training, he asked the team to play more offensive positions, reduce mistakes, and focus on defense.

His reason is also very simple. After all, Fisher is just an ordinary point guard. He does not have Nash's agile passing ability, and Yang Di is performing better and better as the team's gatekeeper. It is understandable to use this to make a fuss.

Wednesday, December 12, Auckland.

The sky was fine, there were many boats on the port of San Francisco, and people in the Bay Area were busy from morning to night.

Oakland Arena, the Warriors face the visiting Timberwolves.

The Timberwolves didn't start this season well, with only 8 wins and 5 losses. You know, they were the team with the best record in the Western Conference last season. (Note: The Timberwolves were in poor form in the 05-06 season, with 44 wins and 38 losses and the ninth in the Western Conference missed the playoffs)

The team's record was mediocre, and Garnett was in a bad mood. When he met the enthusiastic media who came to interview him, he replied angrily: "I'm very busy!" He directly refused the pre-match media interview on the grounds that he was very busy.

The media retreated, scolding Garnett for being domineering, and thinking about Yang Di is good, basically answering whatever you want, there is no taboo.

There are more and more Warriors fans wearing No. 8 jerseys in the stands. The game has not yet started, and the white-colored stadium is already noisy and the atmosphere is very warm.

The Warriors made a simple opening ceremony, when the arena DJ announced Yang Di's name.

The audience applauded thunderously. Yang Di shook his head triumphantly, danced his shoulders and body, and high-fived Deng Levy, Fisher and others beside him to encourage each other.

The starting five tigers stand on the field, each with different equipment.

Among them, Richardson and Mike Dunleavy are just a set of white jerseys, without any protective gear on their bodies.Power forward Troy Murphy wears a knee pad on his right leg, Fisher has his classic headband on his head, and Yang Di wears elastic knee pads on both legs and a black tank top under the raised jersey.

Fisher has always wondered why Yang Di wears a tight-fitting vest under his jersey. He feels that the vest is not very comfortable, and it is easy for people to stretch out.

In addition, no one has braces in their mouths.

Braces are simply the best protection for a basketball player's teeth. Bumping on the court is too common, but seemingly hard teeth are also the most vulnerable.

The Timberwolves wore black away jerseys, PG Kassel, SG Sprewell, SF Szczerbiak, PF Kevin Garnett, C Mark Madsen.

Yang Di and Garnett stood in the middle circle, and Garnett gave him a hard look.

Yang Di stared back without showing any sign of weakness. When they were still in the Heat last year, the two of them clashed on the court, full of gunpowder.

"Boy, if you meet me, you will die."

"You try it?" Yang Di thought that his strength had already broken through to S-. Garnett is not good at strength, even if he is not afraid of confrontation, he is definitely not as good as himself in this point. It's hard to predict.

The referee checked the time and after confirming that the staff were ready, he blew his whistle with a "beep~".

The basketball was thrown into the air, and Yang Di and Garnett shouted at the same time. Garnett's reaction was indeed a little faster than Yang Di's, and he had the advantage of taking the lead by taking off within a few millimeters, and touched the basketball.

Cassell receives the ball and advances across the half.

11 minutes and 57 seconds, 11 minutes and 56 seconds. The time counts down and the game officially begins.

This game also attracted CCTV5's broadcast, and CCTV5 specially invited Cai Nan as a guest to participate in the commentary of this game in the studio.

After Cai Nan became the editor of "Basketball Pioneer News", he published several in-depth NBA articles, and became famous in the Chinese basketball circle, becoming a representative of excellent commentators in the Mesozoic era.

He has always been very grateful to Yang Di. If he hadn't interviewed Yang Di back then, his resume might have been a different picture.

Sitting on CCTV5 to explain the NBA made him feel like a dream.

Similarly, as a partner with Cai Nan, CCTV5 recruited Yu Jia, who is also very young, only 24 years old, to do the commentary.

Yu Jia has just started to commentate now, and there are not many commentary sessions. He was very excited to get this opportunity. First, he followed the routine and asked Cai Nan for his opinion on this game.

"The Warriors have a chance to win this game." Cai Nan took a deep breath: "Yang Di is a player who is good at fighting tough battles, and today's Warriors are very united. The Timberwolves' record at the beginning of the season is very average. They lost consecutively to the Spurs, the Suns and other teams, especially in the United States, and many Timberwolves players expressed dissatisfaction with their contracts, which seemed to verify the fact that their locker room was contradictory."

"But it is undeniable that Garnett may be the most restrictive player in the league for Yang Di."

Yu Jiarao gave an ooh with interest, and then said that it was like a cross talk, and asked along with each other: "Restricting power? How should I say it?"
