Chapter 375 Alliance Savior

In Dallas in mid-January, the sun is shining all day long, and the whole city is surrounded by warmth.

At two o'clock in the afternoon on the 12th, the entire Lakers team accepted Randall's proposal and went to White Rock Lake south of Dallas to fish and relax.

Along the way, the Lakers team encountered many Texas cowboys. They greeted the Lakers first, and then said that the Mavericks would win the game. Some even shouted for Randall to return to his hometown to play.

The Lakers will take this as a joke, saying that what the Mavericks need is another center from Los Angeles-Jordan Jordan.

At the beginning, Jordan verbally agreed to sign with the Mavericks, but in the end he stayed in Los Angeles, becoming a source of jokes in the NBA.

However, it has recently been revealed that the Clippers, which are in turmoil, has made Jordan unhappy, and he has a strong interest in two Texas teams-the Mavericks and the Rockets.

Arriving at Baiyan Lake, four rookies Hart, Kuzma, Tatum, and Thomas, under the arrangement of Tianyang, went to the lake to rent fishing tools, and Randall began to give a guided introduction to everyone.

The entire Baiyan Lake has a water level of about 2000 mu, surrounded by green trees, and has a beautiful scenery. There are more than 20 kinds of fish in the lake, such as carp, silver carp, and frog fish. There are many single-family villas not far from the lake, and all kinds of convenience fully equipped.

About 10 minutes later, the four of Hart came back with fishing gear, Kobe rented a large boat with public funds, and the Lakers set off to the center of the lake to start fishing.

Although it is leisure and relaxation, a group of NBA players get together, and there is no lack of competitive spirit. Kobe suggested that within three hours, the four people with the lowest fishing weight should be responsible for returning the fishing gear, and the person with the highest fishing weight should be responsible for returning the fishing gear. Pay for dinner at night.

Everyone readily agreed, and each of them hung up the bait and cast the fishing line vigorously into the lake.

It's not enough to just sit and fish, but also to chat to relieve boredom.

After chatting about rap, movies, and even helping out with Tianyang's wedding, the old men finally talked about the competition.

As a heavy user of the team's social media, Kuzma said he had a funny news to share.

"I watched the latest ESPN roundtable meeting in the morning. Coach Rick Carlisle of the Mavericks has been called the savior of the league by several ESPN experts. Is this interesting?"

The name 'Alliance Savior' is a bit exaggerated, and Tianyang couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

"It's not because of you." Kuzma laughed, "You recently won 5 consecutive 40+ games and swiped the screen all day, and our Lakers won another wave of 6 consecutive victories. Commentators are already discussing whether we will break the rules A record of 73 wins."

Bryant interjected, "Do they mean the Lakers already dominate the league?"

Kuzma nodded, and Carter tilted his head and asked: "These experts think that coach Carlisle can lead the Mavericks to defeat us? I'm afraid it's a bit unrealistic, right? Dirk's condition is only a little better than mine, and Harrison-Barnes is probably as good as Ingram If it's a tie, that rookie Dennis Johnson will definitely suffer a loss against Rondo, so how can he win?"

"I know!" Rose interrupted suddenly, "I also watched the ESPN roundtable meeting. They think that Carlisle is the most middle-class coach in today's league, the best at changing and employing people, and he is also the most promising to develop a tactic to restrict Tianyang. The season's 'violent foul' tactics worked well against Tianyang, and many teams benefited from it."

Carter was thoughtful when he heard the words: "It's true that Coach Carlisle is good at formulating tactics, but the environment Tianyang was in before was very different from what it is now. Tianyang's personal skills are also more mature, and those experts may think too much."

"These ESPN experts are really idle." Rondo shook his head helplessly, actually worried that the Lakers would dominate the league, and the Warriors' five All-Star players are the biggest threat to the league. Shouldn't they first study how to deal with the Warriors? "

"If there is any tactic that can restrict Tianyang, I hope they will use it now. If they use it suddenly in the playoffs, they might be caught off guard." Kobe said calmly.

Thinking about it, it really makes sense, Tianyang nodded: "No matter what kind of tactics, unless there are five players in the backcourt, I can throw the ball to the hoop... Hey, a fish is hooked!"

……

It was said to be three hours, but Kobe, Nick Young, and Tianyang needed an extra game. They fished for a total of three and a half hours. In the end, Kobe won the first place and was responsible for paying the bill, while Hart, Thomas and others were responsible for returning the fishing gear. .

After the team returned to the hotel after the meal, Wharton told everyone with a smile that the fishing was being discussed on Twitter.

Tianyang opened Twitter and saw that enthusiastic Dezhou people took many photos of the whole team fishing and shared them on Twitter.

Due to the low geographical latitude of Dallas and the long sunlight hours in winter, these photos are very clear.

It can be clearly seen from the photos that the whole team is very relaxed, without the slightest sense of tension before the game, which is very different from the intense training before facing the Warriors.

"Admit it, we are a weak team, and the Lakers are unwilling to spend time training." A Mavericks fan wrote a comment with self-pity, and received 1000+ likes.

"You're wrong, Dennis Johnson is doing very well, Harrison is feeling hot lately, Dirk is in good form, Matthews is fully recovered from his injury, Noel can play, as long as Rick doesn't perform at the end, we have a chance to win Lakers."

"Yes, when we won the championship back then, no one was optimistic about us. Even if we were leading 3-0 at the time, there was a view that the Lakers would win four games in a row and come back. I hope the players will fight hard."

The third comment received the most likes and hundreds of retweets. Tianyang felt helpless after reading it.

Sometimes, an unintentional act may also hurt people, such as the uninvolved Saudi prince throwing money for entertainment, but there are still many people in the world who don't even have enough to eat.The same goes for the Lakers, who just went fishing to relax and ended up belittling the Mavericks.

Maybe the Mavericks players don't think so, but fans tend to follow suit and think too much.

After thinking for a while, Tianyang decided to post a tweet to praise Dallas.

"I spent a pleasant afternoon at White Rock Lake with Texas Cowboy @Randall, where the scenery is beautiful, the air is fresh, and I also feel the hospitality of the Texas people. If I have the opportunity, I want to try Texas barbecue!"

After the tweet was posted, it got a lot of likes, but within a few minutes, there were unpleasant comments again.

"You took boats to the middle of the lake, which greatly aggravated the pollution of the lake. I hope you will stop doing such stupid things in the future."

"Your hypocritical compliment is disgusting. You even use a pretentious word like 'clean air'. We don't need your hypocritical compliment."

"Don't think that if you are an international star, we will give you face. Dirk's achievements are much greater than yours."

After reading several consecutive articles, Tianyang was stunned. These people attacked him personally for no reason at all.

Even if the word 'fresh air' is only suitable for describing Chinese scenic spots, it is indeed easy to make people feel that it is perfunctory praise, but the other two are completely unreasonable!

Or are the people of Texas just so tough?
