I really can't handle the ball

Chapter 81 The amazing warm-up activity

May 10, Dallas, American Airlines Center Arena.

At this time, there are no absentees in the arena, and there are many fans gathered outside the arena. They will watch the game through the big screen outside the arena.

Most of the fans who came to watch the game wore jerseys number 41 or 10. It can be seen that Li Xuan's popularity in Dallas is increasing day by day.

In the Mavericks locker room, after the mobilization meeting, head coach Sr. Nelson pushed open the door and led the players to the field aggressively.

Amid the cheers of the fans in the audience, the Mavericks players came out of the player tunnel one by one with high spirits.

The on-site DJ introduced every Mavericks player. As for the core players of the team, they must introduce them grandly.

When it was the turn of the Spurs players to play, there was booing in the audience. Obviously, Dallas fans didn't like this group of players who eliminated their home team in the Western Conference Finals last season.

Facing the overwhelming boos, Duncan remained expressionless and did not show any emotion.

Bo Wen, who came out right after him, didn't take it seriously at all, and even taunted him: "You guys are booing more and more now, and I will definitely teach the idiots on the other side a lesson when I come on stage later."

As for the other players on the Spurs team, they are used to this kind of formation. They are used to not being booed every time they play away games.

Only one or two rookies who joined this year saw such a situation, their legs were so weak that they couldn't walk. Fortunately, the help of the big brother allowed them to come to the bench smoothly.

After the simple appearance ceremony, the players of both sides returned to their respective benches, quickly took off their training clothes, and then came to the court to do warm-up activities.

At the same time, TNT TV broadcasted this heavyweight match live across the United States, and CCTV Sports Channel also obtained the right to broadcast it, bringing this powerful duel to domestic fans, and its momentum is even greater than the first one!
"Friends from the audience, good morning! This is the CCTV Sports Channel, and we are broadcasting for you the 03-04 season NBA regular season match between the Dallas Mavericks and the San Antonio Spurs

"This game will be explained by me and Su Qun."

In the studio of CCTV Sports Channel, Director Zhang spoke impassionedly about the opening remarks.

"Director Zhang, this game is like a repeat of last year's Western Conference Finals. Do you think the Mavericks can get revenge at home?" Su Qun asked.

"From the analysis of the lineup, the Mavericks' starting lineup is comparable to the Spurs, and they are not at a disadvantage.

In terms of substitutes, the Spurs have Manu Ginobili and the Mavericks have Li Xuan, which can be said to be evenly matched.

If you want to tell the winner, it depends on the impromptu performance of both sides. Whoever seizes the opportunity will have a greater chance of winning. "

Director Zhang didn't dare to directly predict the Mavericks' victory as he did in the previous game. Everyone knew very well that the opponent was the defending champion Spurs. To win the game, it was far more difficult than the opening game.

If it is said that Li Xuan abused dishes to brush up statistics in the last game, then this game is the best opportunity to witness Li Xuan's true level.

"Thank you Director Zhang for your wonderful analysis. The game is about to start. Let's watch the next game together." After Su Qun finished speaking, the camera switched to the live game field.

It can be seen from the screen broadcast on TV that the players of the two teams are doing warm-up activities on the court at this time.

These warm-up activities are nothing more than stretching your legs, shooting a few baskets or laying up a few baskets. The most attractive thing for fans is to pretend to beep a few fancy dunks.

These are not worth mentioning in Li Xuan's eyes. Tonight, he came here in high spirits and started a long-range warm-up that only appears in the NCAA.

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

Accompanied by the sound of swiping the net, Li Xuan retreated farther and farther, and finally came to the LOGO area, shooting a super long three-pointer.

The fans in the auditorium let out an exclamation every time Li Xuan scored a goal. When Li Xuan came to the LOGO area, everyone held their breath, worried that the noise would disturb Li Xuan's shooting.

Li Xuan's unique warm-up method naturally attracted the attention of his teammates and opponents.

"Do you think he can hit a super long three-pointer at one time?" Ginobili asked Parker on the side.

"I know this well, but I have to admit that this warm-up method is really cool. If only I had such a shooting ability, I wouldn't have to break through and enter the interior to fight with a group of big guys who are scratching their feet." Parker said enviously.

"Are you two hiding here and secretly speaking ill of me?" Duncan suddenly appeared from beside the two of them.

"No, no, how could we be that kind of people, we are watching the warm-up of the rookie opposite." Parker and Ginobili quickly shook their heads and quickly explained.

Duncan looked at the Mavericks for the warm-up halftime and whispered, "This little guy is really interesting. I really want to touch his buttocks. It must be very comfortable."

When Ginobili and Parker heard this, their bodies trembled unconsciously, and they ran away from Duncan quickly, fearing that they would encounter evil claws later.

"Am I that scary?" Duncan touched the back of his head and walked back to continue the warm-up activities.

On the sidelines, after seeing Li Xuan's warm-up method, Popovich immediately called Bowen over and gave some instructions.

"Bruce, did you see that little guy? You have only one task, and that is to prevent that arrogant rookie from receiving the pass. Can you do it?"

Bowen nodded after hearing this, and responded: "Sir, promise to complete the task, and I will ravage that rookie well."

Just as Popovich and Bowen worked out the plot, the fans on the scene gave deafening cheers and applause.

Popovich looked up at the replay on the big screen, only to realize that the No. 10 rookie hit the shot in the LOGO area with only one shot.

He felt a little worried, called Bowen back again, and formulated a defensive strategy again.

After this little episode, the warm-up activities of the two sides also ended here. The players of the two teams quickly returned to the bench, and the starters were ready to play, waiting for the start of the game.

Not long after, the referee blew his whistle to signal the starting players of both sides to come to the middle circle to prepare for a jump ball.

At the same time, the starting lineups of the two sides were displayed on the big screen at the scene.

Mavericks starting lineup: center Rasu Nesterovic, power forward Dirk Nowitzki, small forward Antawn Jamison, shooting guard Michael Finley, point guard Steve Nash .

The Spurs' starting lineup is: center Kevin Willis, power forward Tim Duncan, small forward Hedo Turkoglu, shooting guard Bruce Bowen, and point guard Tony Parker.

After all the starting players took their positions, the referee threw the ball high, and the game officially started amidst the cheers of the fans!
