Chapter 57
"Okay, my players! No one will be blamed." Cheeks clapped his hands to persuade the players: "We did our best tonight, and we have a clear conscience. Although we failed to win, I think we Everyone can leave Wachovia Center with their chests held high!"

Seeing the backs of the players entering the locker room one by one, Cheeks smiled.

Facing the mighty Spurs, Cheeks didn't think he could win from the very beginning. After all, the opponent was last year's championship team. Cheeks was very satisfied with his efforts and hard work, especially Channing, who came on the field in the second half, injected fresh vitality into the team on both ends of the offense and defense, and even once tied with the Spurs, forcing Popovich to call timeouts continuously. It can be said that Qian Ning was the biggest surprise of the night.

"It seems that this kid still has comprehensive defensive skills in official NBA games. He is a talent to be made. I have always been very accurate in reading people."

Cheeks is even more gratified that the players who were already numb to losing last year showed unprecedented pain for tonight's defeat. This is a great thing. If you feel pain, you will work harder, Cheeks Si believes that victory must be just around the corner.

After taking a shower, Channing got dressed, said goodbye to his teammates, and went out to go home. He took a basketball with him. The apartment he rented was less than 10 minutes’ walk from the arena. Channing was used to finishing the game every night. On the way home from practice, work on the ball again.

It's just that there are some exceptions tonight. As soon as he walked out of the gate of the arena, Channing was stopped by a group of people.

They are all loyal fans of the Philadelphia 76ers, there are as many as one or twenty, holding various signs in their hands, which read:

"Money, welcome to Philadelphia!"

"Great job! We're your fans from tonight!"

Channing was a little moved by these glittering signs. It was unbelievable that the fans had been waiting for him since the end of the game.

"Hi, I'm Channing, thank you very much for your kindness, it must be very cold!"

Channing interacted with the fans in a friendly manner, signed their clothes and basketballs, and satisfied their photo requests one by one.

"This is the first batch of fans I gained in the NBA. I can't believe that I have become a star. It feels really great!"

"Uncle, can I take a picture with you?"

"of course can."

With a smile, Qian Ning hugged the girl who was about six or seven years old, and the latter kissed him on the cheek excitedly.

"Mom, I succeeded. I took a photo with my uncle."

The girl's mother thanked her repeatedly, and another fifteen or sixteen-year-old daughter on her right wanted to go up and give Qian Ning a kiss, but was strictly stopped by her mother.

"Haha, I can kiss the handsome uncle, but my sister can't, it's great."

The elder sister casually gave the girl a supercilious look:
"When you grow up to the age where you kiss him because you want to have sex with him, your mother will stop you."

Fortunately, Chen Ning didn't hear this sentence, otherwise he would definitely find a way to satisfy this fan's wish.

An old man with white hair and chicken skin was sitting in a wheelchair. He was accompanied by his family and wanted to take a photo with Channing. This should be the oldest among my fans. Channing squatted down very friendly and left a picture with a bright smile.

"You are at least 70 years old. It is my honor to be liked by a grandmother of your age!"

The old grandma smiled happily, showing her only two remaining teeth. Trembling, she took out a photo album from her bosom and showed it to Channing.

Channing took it curiously, and there were photos of grandmas and Philadelphia 76ers stars, from Wilt Chamberlain to Julius Erving, from Barkley to Iverson, spanning nearly 40 years.

The star in the first group photo is Wilt Chamberlain, and it was taken in 1967. This is a precious group photo of Chamberlain when he just joined the Philadelphia 76ers. Mr. 100 points Mr. Zhang Dashuai is a very gentleman, and the grandmother in it is only about 30 years old. With a good face and a perfect curvy figure, it can be seen that she was also a beautiful woman who was popular among thousands of boys when she was young.

Looking at the photos one by one, Channing seems to be traveling in a time machine. The years have made the Philadelphia 76ers up and down, ushering in batch after batch of stars. Her imprint, but what remains unchanged is her love for basketball and her support for Philadelphia.

This is why she must wait to take a photo with Channing after seeing Channing's debut tonight.

"I'll tell you a secret. Anyone who can fit into my photo album will become a superstar in Philadelphia in the future." The grandma tremblingly put the photo with Channing just now into it, and then showed Channing an expression that you know .

After seeing off the fans, Channing was in a good mood, and went home to sleep humming a little tune.

……

Channing gained a lot of Philadelphia fans through his performance on the night of his debut, but when he was training hard and preparing to go further, the domestic sports circle had a lot of controversy about him.

"Before the game, the head coach said that he would not be given playing time. He sat on the bench throughout the first half, and even played poorly for a few minutes in the second half. How long will it take for Channing to return to China for development?"

"That's right, with his ability, he can't meet the requirements of the NBA. Instead of being blown up, it's better to recognize the reality early and return to the CBA!"

"The first game has proved that Channing's defense is purely blown out. Duncan scored on him as easy as eating a melon, that is, he ran into a soft guy like Bonner, and it was okay for Channing to brush out. The data that can be seen will ensure that he will show his true colors in the next game."

"There is no next game. The coaching staff has already seen through him. He will definitely be abandoned. I guarantee that Channing's career in the NBA will come to an end!"

All kinds of criticism and even abuse appeared on the Internet. There were also many discussions about Channing on Sina Sports, pp Sports, Tieba, and Hupu forums. Most of them focused on the few minutes when Channing was singled out by Duncan. Make a big fuss, as if Duncan can't be guarded, and Channing is just a waste.

Chan Ning felt very blocked after reading such a post. He admitted that his current ability could not defend Duncan alone, but people always have advantages and disadvantages, and they cannot be killed with a single stick. It was all talking about his shortcomings, which caused Channing a lot of trouble, as disgusting as eating a mouthful of fly droppings.

No way, although there are many Chinese fans, there are too few fans with independent opinions. Most of them are followers of others, and some are trolls with ulterior motives and dicks who only dare to find their presence on the Internet. Qian Ning remembered his previous life All kinds of jokes about Yi Jianlian, "It's too easy to split two boards", "Chew the green arrow, relax, and play for another 2 minutes", are really full of malice everywhere, making Channing and Ah Lian far away in a foreign country. The hard-working Chinese are very chilling.
