NBA: Start with a Kareem Abdul-Jabbar template card

Chapter 28 The Eagles

When Chen Xiao finished practicing the last set of strength, he raised his head, and there was nothing in his sight, except for Ronnie who was still guiding him.

"You did a good job, Chen. You are not as maddening as Seth and Austin. This training is over." Ronnie stood aside the whole time, watching Chen Xiao finish all the training with quality and quantity. Although he did not choose to practice extra this time because of the game tomorrow, such a positive attitude is still satisfying. Ronnie couldn't help but compare the two needy families in the team.

"The strength of Seth and Austin really needs to be strengthened, and the small body can't prevent the opponent. Thank you for your guidance, Ronnie."

After Chen Xiao teased the outside duo and thanked Ronnie, he went into the bathroom of the hotel gym to wash off.

Chen Xiao, who had just stepped into the bathroom, had the urge to cover his nose immediately. To be honest, even though he had been with his teammates for several months, he still couldn't stand the smell of black buddies.Of course, white people also have taste, but the team is basically black buddies.

After using a lot of deodorant and perfume every day, I can only smell the strong perfume, which is barely acceptable. After all, I get used to it after getting along for a long time.

But after exercising a lot, before taking a shower to deodorize, the smell is simply amazing.

But what can I do, this gym is only a public bathroom, wash it.

Chen Xiao put aside distracting thoughts and strode inside.

When Chen Xiao entered the bathroom, he saw his teammates. They had already rinsed and sprayed deodorant.

"Man, don't try so hard, you're still the last one here." The one who is so active is naturally the water fountain caretaker in the Duke team, Quinn Cook, who averaged 30 applause, 20 towel throws and 10 standing ups per game.

Chen Xiao shrugged, did not reply, but rinsed.

"OK, OK, I understand you. You are suffering all the time, but you are superb on the court, right? I always heard my high school coach say that." Cook explained to himself when he saw that Chen Xiao ignored him.

"Quinn, maybe"

Before Chen Xiao could finish speaking, Quinn interrupted Chen Xiao's persuasion.

"Thanks, bro, we have Austin, Seth, and Andre on our team. I don't have playing time. When they go to the NBA, I will lead Duke forward." Quinn's words made everyone around him burst into laughter.

But it also succeeded in enlivening the atmosphere.

Rivers on the side started a conversation: "Do you know what is the arrangement for the afternoon?"

Everyone said they didn't know, but judging by Rivers' expression, they knew that this kid must know something, so they urged him to speak quickly.

If you don't say anything, gather the strength of everyone to teach him a lesson that you will never forget.

Seeing that everyone put down the deodorant and was about to start, Rivers hurriedly said: "I said, I said, I passed by the coach's door in the morning and heard them say that we are going to the Philips Arena for training in the afternoon."

"Philips Arena? Home of the Atlanta Hawks?"

"Yeah, the arena of the NBA Eagles. Yesterday the Eagles beat the Nets by 9 points at home. They didn't play today, but there should be training. We can even train with them at that time." Rivers said with some pride.

When the people on the side heard the news, the atmosphere seemed to be overturned, and they started discussing one after another.

It is not the first time for them to visit the Philips Arena, but the training ground belonging to the Eagles in the arena is still unfamiliar to them, and it is very rare to have the opportunity to train with the NBA team Eagles.Even if they are the Duke Blue Devils.

Rivers heard people ask how he knew the news.

Rivers pretended to be cold and said that he also guessed to clear the relationship.

But everyone also knows that the father of this little Rivers, Doug Rivers, is a big man, the Eagles team history assists leader, has made the All-Stars in the Eagles, and is a well-deserved team star.

After an outstanding player career, the old Rivers led the Big Three Celtics as a coach to defeat the Lakers led by Kobe Gasol to win the championship.This also established his status at the NBA team level.

Chen Xiao, who was listening to everyone's discussion while washing, also packed up and came out, just thinking that He Wenwen also had such a wonderful player career.

Just walking to Seth Curry, he raised his hand and gave him an elbow, joking when he could go to the Hornets for training.

Seth returned the middle finger, the original Charlotte Hornets moved to New Orleans long ago, his father may not have this face now.

……

At noon, old K announced the arrangements for the afternoon in the face of everyone's expectations.

Pretty much the same as what was said before.

But according to the words of the old K, he went to the Georgia Institute of Technology's training venue for training, but it happened that Georgia Tech also used the Philips Arena this season.

The team arrived at Philips Arena in the afternoon.

Although it was still the same Philips, everyone did not miss it.

But thinking of meeting the stars of the Eagles, everyone changed their equipment and entered the training hall with a little restraint.

As soon as I entered the training hall, I heard the sound of hitting the ball and the friction of the sneakers against the floor.

In the distance, the quasi-"Eagle King" Josh Smith is soaring into the air, holding the ball in his left hand and pulling the full moon, and the roc pours the ball into the basket like spreading his wings.

All the Duke players were shocked.If they're sitting on the bench right now, there's going to be a stop-and-stop shock reaction show.

Seeing such an impactful dunk on the spot, Chen Xiao couldn't help but think of a word that fits the Eagles - the eagle hits the sky.

After Josh Smith jumped to the highest point, his fully extended arms and stretched posture were like an eagle diving in the air to the ground, and the defender in front of the basket was the eagle's prey, trembling in front of the roaring and oppressive eagle, until the blow was fatal.

Of course, this is a bit exaggerated.At least there is no defender in front of the basket.However, in Chen Xiao's impression, Josh Smith is indeed an outstanding dunker in actual combat. His actual dunk ability in the same period can be ranked in the top 10, and even the top 5 in exaggeration.

When he arrived at his place, Old K naturally wanted to say hello to Eagles head coach Larry Drew, who was leading the Eagles in training.As far as their common identity-"basketball coach" is concerned, although old K is only a college coach, the NBA and NCAA are both in the same circle. Needless to say, his reputation has been rooted in Duke for decades.

Therefore, Larry Drew is also very polite, even a little humble.

Old K said that the Eagles have a great chance this year and can break through the results of previous years.Larry Drew said that Duke is strong this year and can win the championship again after a year.The two chatted happily.

There are two full courts in the practice field, and the Eagles are occupying one at this time.

Seeing that the Eagles players occupy the full court closer to the entrance and exit, the Duke players naturally went to the unused full court in the distance led by the assistant coach to conduct warm-up training.
