Chapter 165 The Divine Derby
The crabbing ship Valor, which returned with a full load, made all the colleagues in the port envious, but no one expressed envy, because not everyone dared to take such a risk.

Verus accompanied Doug, who was awake, to the best hospital in San Francisco. A full body examination proved that he was fine except that he was still weak.

The body of young people is like this, with super recovery ability, staying up all night or collapsing from exhaustion, there is basically no problem after a night of sleep.

The big-hearted Doug is still so bluffing, which makes Verus completely relieved.

He was worried that such life-and-death stimulation would leave Doug with a psychological shadow, which would be a lifetime of trouble.

Verus missed the Warriors' road trip to Los Angeles, and the Golden State Warriors, who had a big holiday, were completely out of shape and lost 83:106 to the Los Angeles Clippers.

The Clippers, who are not a traditional strong team, actually performed poorly this season. Before the Warriors game, they had 4 wins and 11 losses. It doesn't look like they can make the playoffs.

But looking at the lineup on the field, the Clippers are not weak. Center Michael Olowokandi was the No. 98 pick in 2. The standard center is 13 meters tall and weighs 269 pounds.

Olowokandi, nicknamed Sugar Man, is called by many to be the most untrue No. 10 pick in the NBA draft. In fact, he has also played in the NBA for 12.3 years. In his peak season, he also averaged 9.1 points and [-] rebounds per game.

The Clippers' power forward Lamar Odom is even more well-known. He assisted Kobe to win two NBA championships. He often hit triple-doubles and was the youngest triple-double record holder before the little emperor James.

The left-handed Odom has too many shadows of a magician, and he can also play five positions on the field.

He is agile and has the ability to shoot from a long distance. He is a good defensive player. He is physically talented and has excellent rebounding ability. He can play an organizational role on the offensive end.

The rest of the starters, such as Quentin Richardson, Jeff McGinnis, and Derek Strong, are all quite capable outside players. Koski, Corey Maggette, Sean Lukes, Kenyon Dooling also have their own unique skills.

勇士这边麦迪21投11中，轰下24分8个篮板，拉里休斯20分5个篮板3助攻，小奥尼尔状态保持不错12分8个篮板，其他球员则陷入低迷。

Five players from the Clippers scored in double figures, plus the substitutes scored a total of more than 100 points on the Warriors' basket. The Warriors, who aimed to train young players to play on the court, paid their due tuition.

Back at home, the Warriors are united, and they defeated the Indiana Pacers from afar at 95:99. Last season, the Pacers, the No. 50 Pacers in the Eastern Conference, are in poor form this season, and their winning percentage has been hovering below [-]%.

Reggie Miller, who has played for the Pacers for 18 years, is well-known. The sharpshooter who loves three-pointers is unfortunately born in the wrong age. If he landed in the NBA 20 years later, he will definitely gain more favor.

On Saturday night, December 2000, 12 Eastern Time, the Warriors ushered in a special opponent at home, the Dallas Mavericks.

The Chinese media and fans were very excited. This was the first time that players from China met on the field in the NBA. Wang Zhi from the Mavericks challenged his national teammate Hu Dong from the Warriors away.

Verus's travel agency transported dozens of crazy Chinese fans in planes. Before the game started, the dragon dance team and lion dance team from the local Chinese community organization in San Francisco had already set up a ring in the square in front of the Oracle Arena. .

From the beginning of the new nba season, Shenzhou Imperial TV Station and all local sports stations in mainland China will broadcast the regular season and post-game press conferences, as well as highlight highlights such as the five best balls.

Leveraging the huge influence of the silver medal of the Chinese men's basketball team in the Sydney Olympics, new NBA basketball parks and basketball courts were built everywhere in China, and countless young people stepped onto the court with basketballs in their hands to show off.

Verus provided the best and largest broadcast seats in the audience for Shenzhou Lianbo Sports' five sets of NBA live broadcast program groups, and even the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the usual program groups were thoughtfully arranged.

The red-faced director Zhang Yili, and Mr. Sun, the first brother of the sports station, sat in the broadcast booth and started chatting.

Teacher Sun smiled and said to the camera: "Let's take a look at the lineups of both sides today. The Mavericks sent center Wang Zhi to start. German power forward Dirk Nowitzki, small forward Michael Finley, Shooting guard Howard Eisley, Canadian point guard Steve Nash."

Director Zhang took over the conversation and said: "Let's look at the Warriors at home. Their starting lineup is as follows, center Ben Wallace, power forward Jermaine O'Neal, small forward Tracy McGrady, scorer Hu Dong at guard, Chauncey Billups at point guard."

Teacher Sun followed up and said: "According to statistics, there are at least [-] million viewers in China today, who will be sitting in front of the TV to watch this game. The first NBA derby for Chinese players is really worth looking forward to by all Chinese people."

Director Zhang said: "As we all know, the China Men's Basketball Team became a blockbuster at the Sydney Olympics and won the Olympic silver medal only in the final defeat to the American Dream Team. East, they will have a direct dialogue on the field as opponents this time."

Countless families in China, countless children turned on the TV early on Sunday morning, and the audience sitting in front of the TV with small benches focused their attention on the TV images transmitted from the other side of the ocean.

The owner of the Mavericks, Cuban, also came to the home court of the Warriors today. Before the Internet bubble burst in 2000, he transferred the website he held for 60 billion US dollars, and then bought the Dallas Mavericks, and became the owner of the NBA team wholeheartedly.

Verus has to admire Cuban's luck and ability. Not everyone has the courage to resolutely sell and liquidate the classified professional portal website, which is regarded as the golden phoenix, in the era of information explosion sweeping the world. How do you think Comrade Cuban is like a An excellent time traveler.

The head coach of the Mavericks, Old Nelson, also gave face to the hundreds of millions of TV viewers in China, and sent Wang Zhi as the starting center.

Although he and Warriors shooting guard Hu Dong do not directly confront each other on the field, the two yellow-skinned Chinese people meet on the NBA field. These days, this scene has been hyped by the major news media and Internet media in China.

Before the game, players from both sides warmed up, and Hu Dong, who wore the Warriors' No. 8 jersey, took the initiative to come to the Mavericks' half.

He has a good relationship with the Mavericks. Of course, he will come over to say hello to old Nelson Wang Zhi and the others.

Of course, the TV broadcast camera will not let go of such an eye-catching moment. The appearance of the two main members of the Chinese men's basketball team wearing different NBA team jerseys, talking happily facing the camera, has been firmly remembered by countless Chinese TV viewers. .
