Time flies by so fast, November 18th is here in the blink of an eye.
During this period, Tang Qian celebrated his eighteenth birthday. On November 11, 2011, Tang Qian officially came of age.
However, his "age" in the United States is twenty years old.
Tang Qian has slowly been relieved of the turmoil in the country. In addition to saying goodbye to Tang's father and mother who are far away on the other side of the ocean, Tang Qian's adaptation in the United States is also accelerating. There were many unaccustomed and uncomfortable feelings at the beginning.
Now as time goes by it is gradually calming down and fading away bit by bit.
Today is the beginning of the Los Angeles Defenders training camp. Tang Qian met many future teammates one by one.
"Oh my god, there are actually Asians on our team? Am I blind?" a tall white center looked at Tang Qian and said.
"Okay, keep your voice down Brandon, shouldn't we be friendly when dealing with yellow people? So as not to scare them!" Another white player spoke.
"Gamario, I'm really scared when you say that. What if this kid can't stand it anymore and runs back to tell his mother? I don't want to deal with my parents! Hahahaha!" The white man who spoke first
The center forward laughed without hesitation.
Brandon Costner, Jamario Moon, and Tang Qian turned to look at the two of them, silently recognizing them in their hearts.
"Yellow Monkey, what are you looking at? Haven't you seen my uncle's explosive muscles?" Costner suddenly felt unhappy when he saw Tang Qian staring at him.
Tang Qian didn't want to cause trouble on the first day of training camp, so he kept his mouth shut and didn't speak.
"What do you mean you don't speak? Do you look down on me, Mr. Costner???" Seeing Tang Qian keep silent, Costner still said unhappily.
"Forget it, Costner, yellow people like to keep things quiet. Why are you angry with him?" A black defender came over and said.
"Karim, look at his monkey-like appearance, it's getting more and more unpleasant to you!" Costner said: "Why do yellow people come here to play basketball? It's better to just go and play table tennis!"
"Hello, Fang, our team finally has another 'long man' coming in."
Tang Qian heard someone talking to him, and when he looked back, he found that the person was extremely tall. Even compared to himself, he was not much taller.
He is about seven feet tall, white, and must be him.
Tang Qian memorized the Los Angeles Defenders' teammate information early on, so when he saw this tall white man, he immediately smiled and said: "Hi, hello, Travis Heyman, nice to meet you."
"You actually know my name? It seems that you are a serious person, hot." Travis Heyman was slightly surprised when he heard Tang Qian call out his name fluently.
"You are not the same, you can also call me by my name." Tang Qian said politely.
"No, no, no, I can call you by name only because I saw your team uniform, but you didn't look at my back. This means that you already know my name, doesn't it?"
Heyman, who is white, said wisely.
"That makes sense. It seems that your IQ is much higher than those of them." Tang Qian said with a smile.
"They have always been like this. Because they have been in the team for the longest time and are the oldest, they always bully the newcomers. It's really annoying." Heyman said.
"Really?" Tang Qian said nonchalantly: "I don't think it's a big deal for them."
"Shh! Keep your voice down." After hearing Tang Qian's words, Heyman seemed a little nervous and said: "You must never say these words again in the future, otherwise they will definitely target you everywhere if they hear them."
"So domineering? Who are they?" Tang Qian asked.
"Here, look at him, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, all are the absolute main players of the team, especially Gamario Moon, who has been playing for the Defenders for five years." Heyman secretly pointed out.
He pointed at a few people and said, "So we must not provoke him."
"Yeah, I get it, Travis, it seems like you're not having a good time in the team either."
Heyman laughed dryly twice and said, "Who said I can't do this?"
"Moray eel, what are you doing? Come here and be my defender!"
"Oh, okay, okay, Costner, I'll be right over." Heyman agreed, and then whispered to Tang Qian: "I'll go over first, and we'll talk later when we have time."
"Okay." Tang Qian nodded.
The few days of training camp passed quickly. After all, the NBDL is not the NBA, so the intensity of this training camp was not very high. In Tang Qian's opinion, most people were even absent-minded and paid half-hearted attention to the training camp.
After a few days of understanding, Tang Qian also understood some of the "hidden rules" of NBDL.
The vast majority of NBDL athletes only want to improve their own statistics, so they don't care about team cooperation at all, because only excellent statistics can make them favored by NBA teams. As for team relationships and teammate tacit understanding,
That's not what they considered.
On November 22, the NBDL league officially started, and the Los Angeles Defenders, where Tang Qian belongs, was also one of the participants in the opening match.
Their opponent tonight is the Reno Bighorn Sheep, who are also in the Western Region.
The Reno Bighorn Rams were once a team jointly owned by the Golden State Warriors and the Sacramento Kings. However, they were later exclusively owned by the Kings and became the exclusive "trumpet" of the Sacramento Kings. Speaking of this team, since its establishment in 2008, it has
They have always maintained a good competitive momentum. The winning rate in the first year reached 50%. In the following years, they became even more aggressive. Until last season, they had become the number one team in the Western Conference, with 34 wins and 16 wins.
Losing, the winning rate of 68% is the best proof.
The Los Angeles Defenders have always been the "soy sauce" role in the NBDL. Since the establishment of the team, they have been extremely struggling in the NBDL. The entire playoff experience has only been miserable once.
And it has to go back to the 2007-2008 season.
This is very different from the Lakers in the NBA, and there is no reference at all.
When an underdog faced off against last year's "boss" in the Western Conference, only the Los Angeles Defenders had such "special treatment."
"Hey, by the way, it's hot. I remember there seemed to be a player with yellow skin among the Reno Bighorns last year." Travis Hyman, who was sitting on the bench with Tang Qian, said.
"He seems to be called...called..."
"It's called Jeremy Lin, right?" Tang Qian said for Travis Heyman.
"Oh, yes, yes, that's the name. Hot, your homework ability is really good, you can call me by name." Travis Hyman said.
"Because he is a great player." Tang Qian said.
"Great? Although he is much better than us, I heard that he is also a frequent visitor to the NBA. Just last season, he seemed to be 'tortured' back and forth three or four times, right?" Travis Hyman said.
.
"He will shine soon. It won't be long." Tang Qian suddenly said thoughtfully.
"Really? Hot? You didn't say that because you and he have the same skin color, right?" Travis Hyman said.
"No, you will remember this name firmly right away." Tang Qian said with certainty.
"Maybe, who knows." Travis Heyman replied casually.
What a pity. If I could have come to NBDL a year earlier, maybe I could have fought with him today.
But it doesn't matter, there will still be opportunities when I go to the NBA.
Tang Qian said heartily.
When~
There was a sudden sharp sound that scared Tang Qian and he almost stood up from the bench. He asked Travis Heyman next to him: "Travis, did you hear something just now?"
"What do you hear? Hot? There are sounds everywhere here. What are you talking about?"
Hearing Travis Heyman's answer, Tang Qian immediately reacted and said quickly: "Oh, it's nothing. Maybe I heard wrong."
"Haha, hot, today is your first NBDL game, are you too nervous?" Travis Heyman joked.
"Maybe, maybe." Tang Qian replied absentmindedly.
Because at this moment, his thoughts have all drifted to that "different space".
Tang Qian closed his eyes and quickly entered this "different space". As expected, some changes occurred in the "different space".
What is the change?
Tang Qian's eyes moved and shifted to the tall statue in the center of the alien space. Next to the tall statue, a small white card was hanging quietly. Tang Qian walked over and took a look, and suddenly understood, and said: "
Is this...a mission?"
It is clearly written in the small card that Tang Qian's goal is to average more than 18.0 points, average rebounds over 4.0, and average assists over 2.8 in four games. If the task is completed, a random card will be awarded. If the task fails, a random card will be deducted.
.
Looking at this "sudden" mission, Tang Qian's brain ached suddenly, because he had been accompanying this "different space" for a short time, so he still had some "urinary properties" about this "different space".
Quite "scary".
The mission is completed, and a random card is rewarded. It seems very nice, but what about the punishment? Tang Qian scanned it, frowned and said: "The mission failed, and a random card will be deducted. This punishment is not too big or too small.
, it doesn’t seem unfair, but..."
“What should I do now that I don’t have a card for deduction???”
This is a big doubt and a big problem, because Tang Qian couldn't figure out the "temperament" of this "different space", so he didn't dare to mess with it at all.
What would the "different space" do if it found that it had no cards to deduct?
Is it "spare once", or "double the punishment", or even worse?
Tang Qian had no idea, because this was the first time so far that a "different space" had taken the initiative to "release" a mission. So there was no experience for Tang Qian to refer to.
After much deliberation, Tang Qian still didn't dare to take the risk, because he was really not sure whether he was in a good mood today in this "different space".
"nnd, why is the 'system' obtained by other people's rebirth time travel so good? Why is mine so 'cheating'? Don't say that you answer every question and imitate a villain. Even if you give me accurate information,
That's fine! You don't have to rack your brains and have to worry about it all day long. It's so irritating that people are more powerful than others!"
But complaints are complaints, and Tang Qian still has to do what needs to be done.
Otherwise, God knows if this "different space" also has an "erasure" system. If I fall into the trap, wouldn't it mean that Tiantian should not respond, the earth and the earth will not work, and I would be more unjustly accused than Dou E???
