Chapter 561

Black people don't look old, which is especially obvious in Adrian Dantley.

Just looking at his appearance, no one would have guessed that he is 51 years old. Looking at his swollen belly, no one would have guessed that this old black man is the two-time scoring leader in the NBA, let alone that Bai Jidong would invite him out for a drink.

The reason why Bai Jidong invited him was simple: the way the old guy boasted about Bai Jidong in the commentary booth made him feel very comfortable.

Bai Jidong felt that this was a person he could get close to, so that he would not be bored playing games in Washington in the future, just listening to his commentary was a kind of enjoyment.

So, what kind of person is Dantley?Dating back to the 80s of last century, the seven years in the Jazz were also the seven years at the peak of his career.

Dantley is the representative figure of heads-up players. If there is a pantheon of heads-up players ranked high in the NBA, Dantley should definitely be selected. This is a player who has averaged more than 30 points per game for four consecutive years and has a season-high shooting percentage of 57%. , The career average shooting percentage is also an astonishing 54%.

Speaking of heads-up players, he must not be excluded. This series of numbers is enough to show how strong his heads-up ability is.

In addition to his incomprehensible singles skills, Dantley's foul drawing is also a must. He has been elected as the league's free throw champion five times.

A one-on-one player who is invincible in singles and can draw fouls, but has never been shut down once in his career. Like Bernard, English, Wilkins and others, he is a powerful striker suppressed by black and white duo.

Dantley has strong strength, but it is also a cancer of masters.

First of all, he is a black hole in possession of the ball on the court. Whether it is the Jazz period or the Pistons period, as long as the ball is in his hands, he can hardly get it out.

You guys pass the ball blindly, but in the end it is not as efficient as others' singles. If you are Dantley, you don't play singles?

What Dantley was really criticized for was private things, such as being difficult to get along with, mean-speaking, and being petty.

Back when Malone first entered the league, he was still a good young man who was ignorant, until he went out to dinner with Dantley, and Dantley let the rookie pay the bill.

Malone hated to treat Dantley with a salary that he and he could not put on the table. Since then, Malone has been devoted to the devil and has become the famous horse elbow.

Moodiness, pettiness, and meanness are all Dantley's shortcomings, and besides these, he is also very selfish.

During the Pistons period, the Bad Boys united as one, defeated Jordan, defeated Bird, and finally reached the finals.

Before the fight started, Smiling Assassin discussed with everyone that no matter who wins the FMVP, he should share it with everyone. Everyone agreed, only Dantley shook his head and refused with a livid face.

This is all a matter of Dantley's player era. After retiring, the old man has cultivated himself and changed a lot. Now he is not only responsible for the Wizards' home game commentary, but also serves as a traffic policeman.

He's not broke, he just doesn't want to leave basketball as a commentator, and he wants to make sure kids can cross the road safely as a traffic policeman.

"I hope I didn't keep you waiting." Bai Jidong arrived.

Dantley was not polite at all: "Let's make it clear in advance that this meal is yours, and the juniors should invite the elders."

This situation is really scary, Bai Jidong laughed dryly: "Should be, should be, you can eat whatever you want, I invite you."

Fortunately, Bai Jidong is from China, so it is totally acceptable for him to treat guests.

Dantley is very satisfied with Bai Jidong's attitude of respecting his elders, and he has the joyful feeling of "the old man finally saw the right person": "You were killed by someone at the buzzer tonight, why are you still in the mood to invite me? The old man drinks?"

Bai Jidong descended the donkey along the slope, and said in an excuse, "It is precisely because I was killed at the buzzer that I need to drink to relieve my sorrow."

"Actually, it's not a big deal. If you've experienced what I went through in '87, you know it's really not a big deal." Dantley, like every old man, likes to tell stories about the past.

If the other party is an old man who happened to meet on the street, Bai Jidong would not be interested in hearing his story at all.

Dantley is a legend in the NBA, his story must be very interesting, "Can you tell me? Make me happy."

"It's shameless for you to be a young man, taking other people's pain as your own happiness."

Dantley suddenly found that White Wolf's temperament was very good for him: "Since you asked so, I can also tell you mercifully."

Dantley told a familiar story, anyone familiar with the NBA knows that story.

In the Eastern Conference Finals in 87, the Celtics fought the Pistons, Larry Bird and Isaiah Thomas, a soul-stirring series.

The suspense of this series lasted until the last few seconds. The Pistons had a chance to win, leading and holding the ball in the last few seconds.

The arrogant Smiling Assassin stopped Chuck Daly for a timeout and decided to make the world disappear, and he casually delivered a ball.

No, it's not considered casual, after all, no one would have thought that Byrd could run so fast.

Bird steals and passes the ball to Dennis Johnson who cuts in in an instant, assists him for a layup, and beats the Pistons at the buzzer.

This steal is as famous as the famous "Havlicek steals the ball! The game is over! John Havlicek steals the ball!" moment in the seventh game of the Eastern Conference Finals in 1965, and is known as the Celtics. One of the two most important steals in team history.

One team's classic moments often represent another's darker moments, and it was Dantley's first season as a trade to the Pistons that ended with such a flop.

The championship is like a curse to Dantley, never close.

A year later, the Pistons defeated the weakened Celtics, but were swept out by the Lakers in the Finals and lost the championship.

Ironically, Dantley was traded to the Mavericks in the 89 season, but the Pistons defeated Jordan's Bulls and the black and white duo in a row that season, won the championship, and defeated the Trail Blazers to defend the championship the next season.

"This is my story, a story that is not as glorious as yours, but is true and represents most players."

Dantley thought that Bai Jidong would sympathize with him, but in the end he was ridiculed by Bai Jidong, "Why don't you want to substitute Dennis?"

Dantley mentioned the reason for trading him. At that time, Daly wanted Rodman to start and let Dantley play the sixth man to give full play to the offense, but he disagreed.

Dantley's explanation is also simple: why should I substitute that little bastard?How is he better than Lao Tzu?I can average 30 points per game, can he?Why?Basketball is never just about scoring, so Dantley was traded.

Daly focused on helping Rodman, and everyone who blocked his plan had to disappear. As soon as Dantley left, the Pistons reached the top, which made Dantley unable to wash away his cancerous name.

"Okay, then have you ever regretted it? If you knew you could win the championship by playing the sixth man, would you accept it?" Bai Jidong asked.

Dantley's answer is still no, "If you can't win the championship as an absolute main force, for a player of my level, the championship is not worth mentioning."

I can't tell that this person is not only arrogant, prejudiced, petty and selfish, but also has the pride of a superstar.

"So you deserve to have no crown in your life." Bai Jidong laughed.

Dantley was stimulated by these words, and shouted: "Who says I don't have a champion? I am the league's five-time foul-drawing champion selected by "Dallas Honest Man". In the field of foul-drawing, I am the champion!"

"Can this kind of champion count?" Bai Jidong felt amused. "If you think this championship can be counted, then forget it. I won't fight with you."

If you don't mention the championship, Dantley is still a kinder old man, at least not uttering dirty words that will be silenced by TV channels.

The champion is Dantley's eternal scar, which is far heavier than the infamy of cancer.

No one doesn't like championships, even Dantley, who only knows about money and scoring, values ​​championships more than anything else.

"As far as I know, you are not harmonious internally, will this affect your three consecutive championships?" Dantley is an outsider, but he also wants to know some inside information.

Bai Jidong smiled and said: "No matter how discordant it is, when we stand on the court, we are a pack of wolves united as one. If the team needs me to play the sixth man, I will also play the sixth man, so that we can I won the championship."

Bai Jidong committed his old habit again, turning back to Dantley while talking.

Dantley laughed and scolded a few words: "Everyone said that you are very good at trash talking. When I saw you today, you are really extraordinary. Just a few words deeply hurt my 51-year-old heart. You should make it up to me more."

This old guy is really greedy, Bai Jidong thought to himself, "How to make up for it?"

"You should buy everyone at Sword and Shield tonight," Dantley said.This is nothing.

What Bai Jidong wanted to know was, "Who is the owner of this shop?"

"Well, yes, that's me," Dantley said.

"really."

How can there be such picky people?Ask him to choose a good place, but he actually chooses a bar with such a LOW name.

What made Bai Jidong speechless the most was that this old guy took him to his own hotel, and let Bai Jidong treat him.

In the end, this old man drank, Bai Jidong paid the money, and the money went into his pocket. What kind of person is this?
"Nice to meet you, goodbye, hope we never see each other again."

Seeing that it was getting late, Bai Jidong decided to leave.

Dantley lit a cigarette and said with a smile, "Young man, it's a long road, it's easy to walk."

"With jewels like you in front of me, I will definitely not go astray."

Bai Jidong's words were very unpleasant. Although Dantley and him were like-minded, he was very disgusted with what Dantley did when he was a player.

Bai Jidong put on a coat, wrapped his body, covered his neck with a black scarf, and put on black sunglasses.

He was sure that no one would recognize him, so he walked on the streets of the capital with confidence, admiring the night view of the capital, and would buy some delicious food he saw along the way.

"Sir, you are tall and strong. You must have played football?" asked the owner of the snack bar.

"You have a good eye."

Bai Jidong took the things, paid the money, and ate while walking.

The cold wind blew, Bai Jidong blew a few breaths of hot air, he didn't want to go any further, so he parked on the side of the street and waited for a taxi, then went back to the hotel.
