Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 719 Trash Talking
San Diego is located at the southernmost tip of California and is known as the "Sports City of the United States".

However, among countless sports, basketball is not as popular as other sports. After all, there is no NBA team here. There are only MLB's San Diego Padres and NFL's San Diego Chargers.

However, on the day of June 6, all the basketball fans in Mimi and even the world gathered here, because the most star-studded team in history, the Dream Team, will gather here to officially embark on the Olympic journey .

As for the NBA Finals, it ended a week ago.

The Bulls defeated the Trail Blazers 4:1 in the finals, defended the championship, and the FMVP was also won by Jordan.

In this way, in terms of major honors, Jordan overwhelmed Li Weisi with 3 MVPs and 2 FMVPs, and successfully reached the top of the league No.1.

Although this time Jordan still did not defeat Li Weisi in the face-to-face confrontation between the two, but now both the media and most fans have already believed that in the PK between Jordan and Li Weisi, he has the upper hand, although the gap is not obvious .

To be honest, people thought that Li Weisi would compete fiercely with Jordan for the candidate for the captain of the dream team this time, but in the end neither of them ran for the captain, but gave up the captain to Magician and Bird.

It has to be said that this is indeed an optimal solution. Regardless of their qualifications or status in the basketball world, the two are fully qualified to be captains.

Although one of the two is currently not in the best condition due to illness and the other due to injury, as captains, they can unite the pride of the whole team very well, making the Dream Team, a patchwork team, a team. A real team.

Regarding the name of the Dream Team, it first appeared on the cover of a 1991 issue of "Sports Illustrated", and on both sides of the magazine logo, "Dream Team" was hung.

After that, the name became more and more famous, and it gradually became the nickname of this team.

This afternoon, a group of young people full of youthfulness walked into the San Diego Hotel. At this time, the outside of the hotel was already full of people. The reason why these people could enter unimpeded was because they were also the tenants here.

Don't look at them as rich people, but they are all tall and tall, they look like they are playing basketball, so the security guards will not stop them.

They are the college team that came to practice with the dream team this time.

It stands to reason that if you want the dream team to be able to conduct better training, you should find a training team composed of professional players. However, if you want the group of professional players in the United States to give up the party It's really overthinking to be a training partner for a group of big-name players here.

Therefore, after discussing with the selection committee, the coaching staff finally decided to select a group of outstanding university players to serve as sparring partners.

Although this is a college team, there are many future stars in it, such as: Grant Hill, "Penny" Hardaway, Chris Webber, Alan Houston and so on.

I saw this group of people walking into the hotel talking and laughing. They had come here two days ago and started training. They just finished training in the arena at this moment.

When they came to the lobby, they happened to meet Larry Bird who had just checked in.

Oh, God!That's Larry Bird!

These kids were going crazy with joy.

After Bird checked in, he also saw the group of young people. A smile flashed across his face, and he said, "I hope you young kids are ready, and we will teach you a lesson! Seriously, I wish you all made it to the NBA so I can kick all of your asses!"

After saying this, the elevator door on the side opened, and Bird stepped into the elevator first. Looking at the group of college players who were all stunned, Bird asked again: "Do you want to go together?"

The battered children shook their heads numbly, Bird grinned, then closed the elevator and went straight to his room.

At this time, the college students who were stunned in place were speechless, and they didn't know what to say. After a long time, they realized that they became extremely excited. Is Bird talking trash to them?
At that time, the consultation was not developed enough. Even this group of college players who were about to enter the professional game did not know that Bird had always been a master of trash talk.

Therefore, when they realized that Byrd was talking trash to them, they were very excited. What did this mean? This meant that Byrd had already regarded them as opponents.

Just as the dozen or so people were chattering and discussing with each other non-stop, there was another commotion at the entrance of the hotel.

These people stopped discussing immediately, and stretched their necks to look out one by one, wanting to know who had arrived. As for the elevator coming down again, no one cared at all.

Soon, after the flashing lights outside the door kept flashing, a figure walked into the hotel's door.

Different from Larry Bird's casual clothes in a flowered shirt, the man who walked in was wearing the latest "Professor" brand sportswear, and his baby face looked like a college student.

"West, it's actually West!" Alan Houston couldn't help but make a sound.

Others were not surprised by Houston's performance. After all, they all knew that Li Weisi was Houston's idol.

For a celebrity like Li Weisi who can scan his face, the check-in time is very short, and soon a beautiful Latina lady at the front desk handed over the room card with both hands.

After thanking Li Weisi, he walked towards the elevator entrance.

As the elevator arrived, Houston took the initiative to block the elevator entrance, and at the same time shouted to Li Weisi: "Hi, West, please... please come in!"

"Thank you!" Li Weisi, who was carrying the bag, thanked Houston and walked into the elevator.

The elevator in the hotel is big enough to accommodate so many people.

"Are you college players who are coming to practice?" Li Weisi asked everyone in the elevator.

"Yes!" Hill nodded.

"I hope you will be prepared and use all your strength to face the challenge. The task of sparring this time will never be easy, and it is not a place for you to chase stars. Once you relax, you will lose miserably." Li Weisi said to the others with a serious face .

"Then what if we win!" Wei Bo asked abruptly in the distance.

"That's better, it can help us find the problem, it will help us even more, and honestly, if you can really beat us, then I can send each of you a gift to say thank you."

"is this real?"

"Of course!"

"Nice!" Immediately, there was a burst of cheers in the elevator, causing Li Weisi's eardrums to hurt.

Fortunately, Li Weisi arrived on the 7th floor in time. He didn't stop at the moment and walked out of the elevator, which saved his eardrums.

Looking back at the group of college students who were still excited, Li Weisi also smiled.
