v3 Chapter 645: Jokic's 1st start

On February 20, after a long All-Star game, the Pelicans returned to the arena.

They will welcome the Knicks, their first opponent after the All-Star Game tomorrow night.

Tang Tian was the first to go to the arena. As soon as he changed his clothes, he saw Cole carrying a bag in.

The deal was only reached yesterday, and he should have come to get the contents of his closet.

The two had a good relationship. Tang Tian got up and talked with him for a long time.

This is the second time Cole has been traded in four years, and this time his mentality looks a lot better than the previous one.

In the NBA, these need to be adapted.

"Go to the Lakers and play well. I'll wait for you in the playoffs."

Before Kohl left, Tang Tian said to him.

Cole nodded hard.

The last time Tang Tian said that he would have a chance to be a teammate in the future. They really became teammates.

Before the training began, the team members arrived one after another.

Head coach Williams and assistants have arrived.

The training will start soon, but at this moment there is still one person who has not come.

Whiteside.

Tang Tian only found out when Williams called Whiteside.

Why is this guy late for training again?

Because he lives far from the stadium, Whiteside has been late more than once.

Tang Tian also suggested that he bought a car, but the latter has been quiet.

Williams knew this too, and after Borrego tried to contact Whiteside, he then announced the start of training.

All-Star weekend players have rested long enough, and the training content is mostly based on basic training such as shooting and dribbling.

According to the team's arrangement, the entire match will be arranged in the afternoon.

The training progressed very smoothly. It seems that everyone has had a good weekend.

But the training was over, Whiteside didn't come, and Borrego didn't contact him.

This is not only absent from training, but also lost contact!

Just when Williams was worried about Whiteside's accident and wanted to let him visit his house, Whiteside finally appeared at the stadium entrance.

He looked serious.

The team members have already returned to the locker room to take a shower, Tang Tian stayed because of chatting with Williams.

They both froze when they saw Whiteside.

They questioned in the past.

But in this question, Williams looked ugly, and Tang Tian was speechless.

This guy, Whiteside, found that his cell phone was gone after taxiing to the arena. The guy took a taxi back, and then tried to find a mobile phone back and forth.

That's why he missed the team training all morning!

Tang Tian reached out and patted his brain.

The practice of normal people, shouldn't you find a way after training?

Whiteside's mind is really different from ordinary people!

Williams left with a black face after listening.

"Do you know if you do this, you will probably be suspended from the team?"

When Williams was gone, Tang Tian said.

"can you?"

Whiteside clearly didn't realize the seriousness of the problem.

And he never looked at the team rules issued by the team.

"Why can't you find it after training?"

Tang Tian couldn't help asking.

"I bought the phone not long before, and it's worth $ 300."

Whiteside said immediately.

Tang Tian couldn't help but reached out and patted his head again, this guy was not saved.

If it was banned, it would cost more than $ 300, but thousands.

But he was relieved soon.

After all, it was Whiteside, and it was impossible to get so much.

At the end of the afternoon training session, Williams announced that Whiteside would be suspended from the team due to his absence.

Williams, who was late for training before, was excusable as Whiteside, but in his absence he still acted in accordance with the rules of the team.

On the second game day, the team arranged only simple shooting training.

At the end of the training, the team members rested in the locker room.

While chatting, Borrego pushed in and he came with his new teammates.

Bi Yongbo, the height of 2 meters 06 is not high, but looking very strong, he is a short rebounder in the professional arena.

Borrego led him to Cole's wardrobe.

"Cole only left in the morning. This brand hasn't had time to change. It will change in a few days."

Borrego explained to Biyombo.

Bi Yongbo smiled and nodded, looking a little shy.

There are several types of black people, two of which are more representative. One is native to the United States, hip-hop hip-hop rap;

The other is African black, lazy and simple.

Bi Yongbo looks similar to those who Tang Tian had met before when he went to Nigeria.

The difference is that he lacks laziness.

As soon as Bi Yongbo sat down, Aminu went to talk.

Although the two are not from the same country, they are both from Africa and share a common language.

"welcome."

After Arminu finished talking, Tang Tian said hello in the past.

"thanks, thanks."

Although Bi Yongbo is a newcomer, he also knows who is the boss of the Pelicans. Tang Tian took the initiative to say hello, and he was somewhat flattered.

"Mutombo told me about you, and he said you look a lot like him."

Tang Tian said with a smile.

"is it?"

Bi Yongbo looked very excited.

Mutombo is a Congolese man who is committed to promoting basketball in Africa and also building a basketball school in the Congo.

Like Ibaka, and Biyombo in front of him, they all entered the NBA because of his enlightenment.

Mutombo is synonymous with African basketball for them, just as Yao Ming was before Asia.

Biyombo was naturally excited to hear Mutombo's high evaluation of him.

Tang Tian smiled and nodded, this is indeed what Mutombo said to him at the previous McGrady retirement party.

Because of Mutombo, there was a lot of distance between the two and they talked a lot.

"Be prepared at all times, and opportunities may come at any time."

At the end of the chat, Tang Tian tapped Bi Yongbo and said on the shoulder.

Whiteside was suspended today. Jokic should be mentioned as a starter. There is a high possibility that Biyombo will be sent by Williams.

Bi Yongbo nodded.

He didn't have many opportunities in the Bobcats ~ www.novelhall.com ~ When he reached the Pelicans, he would have to seize every opportunity.

Otherwise, he will be eliminated from the NBA by the end of the season.

That night, the game between the Pelicans and the Knicks began at the New Orleans Arena.

The East and West teams only played twice a season, which is also the second and last time for both sides.

The last time the two teams played against each other, Tang Tian scored 40+ and led the team to easily win. Now the Knicks have run through and revenge is inevitable.

Whiteside was suspended from the team and no news broke before the game.

Until the opening ceremony, all talents found that Whiteside did not start.

Most people were curious, only to notice that Whiteside was sitting on the sidelines in a suit and leather shoes.

After all, there were no injuries news before the game.

Whiteside did not play, instead of his starting Jokic, this is also the first start of the latter's Pelican career.
