Chapter 849 Oolong
Big Jones drove a tractor to clear the snow in front, while Little Jones followed in the back, slowly drove away from here under Yang Jing's farewell gaze.
Yang Jing wanted to go around, but looking at the snow that was almost over his thigh, he shook his head and gave up the idea. In this case, walking out was purely to seek abuse.
But if it was time to travel through time, Yang Jing was worried that someone would come to me. After all, the Jones brothers just said that the other two jobs that Zhao Meng had given him to help him have the opportunity to come and have a look today.
I have to say that Zhao Meng is very good at finding people, and he is comparable to Old Mike. He has bought this farm for more than two years and has never been there once, but he found four cowboys and farmers who are loyal to him. This kind of good thing is really hard to encounter in the United States today.
When I returned to my room, turned on the TV, searched for a while, Yang Jing found a sports station, which was the replay of an NBA game last night.
Zhao Meng has cable TV here, and you can see almost all TV stations in the United States as long as you pay.
This game is a replay of the Western Conference "Brave War" battle, which is the game between the Warriors and the Mavericks in the NBA Western Conference.
When it comes to Mavericks, Yang Jing is also a bit coke. Yang Jing can be regarded as seeing the NBA growing up. Since the NBA entered China, Yang Jing has been familiar with all the NBA teams, and the Dallas Mavericks are naturally familiar with each other, especially the chariot from Germany, which has been running on the NBA field for more than 20 years, but its power remains unabated.
But the problem is that since the legendary Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki, during the midfield break against the Warriors at home, announced through Tencent Video live broadcast that the Dallas Mavericks have since changed its name to a new Chinese name "Dallas Mavericks", Yang Jing felt that the NBA seemed to taste wrong.
Yang Jing still likes the NBA very much. When the leader of the Qiao Gang ruled the NBA, Yang Jing was still young and didn't know what basketball was. When he started watching basketball, it was an era when Yao Yao was in the NBA but he was very sad every year.
Black Mamba, the little emperor, the half-human and the half-god, the Yao and Mai combination, the Flash, the Great Shark, the Warcraft, the Dragon King, the Eagle King, the Wolf King, the Truth... and other series of familiar names have run through Yang Jing's career from junior high school to college for more than ten years.
But among these shining stars, Yang Jing’s favorite is the stone Buddha Duncan and the German tank Nowitzki.
Nothing else, just because of their loyalty!
Between the stone Buddha and the chariot, Yang Jing prefers the chariot!
Twenty years of struggle have been with the Mavericks, and they have brought the only championship in the history of the Mavericks. They are over 40 years old and are still fighting on the NBA battlefield. The Stone Buddha, Black Mamba, and the answers, and the Wolf King have retired one after another, and have made consecutive "decision one", "decision two" and even "decision N" even though the young emperor who is the first active player in the NBA, his loyalty is really speechless.
The Flash Lian Po is old, the Warriors are missing, and the Warriors are unreasonable. The NBA arena is ever-changing, but only Nowitzki, a chariot that looks dilapidated, still has full motivation to lead the Mavericks to the NBA battlefield.
Seeing the 41-year-old chariot Nowitzki still used his trick "Golden Rooster Independence" to throw a high-level two-pointer, Yang Jing couldn't help but cheer for the old chariot.
Last year, in 2018, Mavericks boss Cuban generously gave Nowitzki a contract of $5 million a year. Originally, Yang Jing thought he would retire after that season, but he didn't expect that this old chariot would continue to fight for the Mavericks with a contract of $5 million a year.
I have to say that there is still a lot of fuel in the fuel tank of this old tank, and I also have to give a thumbs up to Cuban.
Only such a generous boss can attract such loyal warriors. Don’t look at Cuban as a famous NBA big mouth, but Cuban’s generousness is also well-known in the NBA. Compared to Cuban’s generousness, he directly offered a contract of 5 million yuan a year for the 41-year-old Nowitzki. Back then, Riley’s cold-blooded thing didn’t sign with Wade. Even if Wade voluntarily asked for a salary cut, Riley would not sign. This was really inhumane.
The Mavericks are actually a very humane team.
But, what the hell is this Maverick?
Because of the Holy Ring, Yang Jing had not watched the NBA for a long time. When he was in college, he got up in the middle of the night to watch the live broadcast and never returned, but this still couldn't make Yang Jing forget the NBA.
So, Yang Jing really couldn't stand the once extremely familiar Maverick transforming into a Maverick...
It's like one day when I've been watching it for several years, I suddenly turned my head and said to you, "Dear, don't call me Da Mi Mi in the future, my name is Guo Degang..."
When the Dallas Mavericks were renamed the Dallas Mavericks, Yang Jing was speculating in time and space in London, so he didn't have time to understand why Cuban changed his name. Later, he was so busy that he didn't even have time to watch the NBA, so he didn't understand this matter.
Now the Mavericks have been renamed for almost two years. If it weren't for the sudden appearance of the Mavericks today, Yang Jing wouldn't remember that he didn't seem to understand why the Mavericks had to change their name to become the Mavericks.
So while the pause was taken, Yang Jing turned on his tablet and began to search for relevant information.
It has to be said that the explanation of this matter by American websites is much more detailed than that of Chinese websites. After reading several websites, Yang Jing finally understood why Cuban changed his name.
It turns out that the Dallas Mavericks didn't call the name "Mavericks" at all, okay? It was the Chinese fans who named them randomly that they called the team "Mavericks".
The English name of the Mavericks is "Dallas Mavericks". There is no need to say that Dallas is Dallas, and Mavericks actually comes from a surname.
Samuel Maverick, the largest landlord in Texas in the 19th century. In 1845, someone owed Maverick a lot of money. When Maverick went to collect the accounts, the party who owed the money did not repay the money did not have cash, so he used 400 cows as compensation.
At that time in Texas, in order to distinguish the ownership of the cattle, the cattle would be branded. In this way, as long as you see the brand on the cattle, you can know whose cattle it is. People who own cattle in the local area did this, but Maverick disdained this. Over time, the local people called the cow without the brand Maverick's cow.
In the end, this term gradually spread throughout the United States, and was eventually included in the dictionary and derived a new meaning, becoming synonymous with strength, freedom and pioneering. Its meaning can be interpreted as a magnificent spirit, a magnificent, but it is definitely not a magnificent.
After reading this explanation, Yang Jing understood why Cuban wanted to change his Chinese name.
The original team name meant awesome, but when it came to the mouths of Chinese fans, it became a Mavericks who were still sipping. Who would be willing to use this name?
No wonder whether the team boss Cuban or the star Nowitzki, they were very dissatisfied when they knew that the Chinese team name was "Mavericks".
It would be strange if they didn't change their name.
China is the second largest market in the NBA. I am such a great team, but I am called the "Mavericks" by hundreds of millions of Chinese fans. My aunt can tolerate my uncle and not tolerate it!
If you change your name, you have to change your name. If you don’t change your name, what will I become? The team is called Mavericks, so why would I, the boss, become a cow?
After reading this introduction full of Coke, Yang Jing was also a little amused. This matter turned out to be a big mistake.
It is precisely for this reason that Yang Jing became in a good mood. He watched the German tanks kill all sides in this game happily, and completed the feat of 22+11+6 at the age of 41. He not only defeated the Warriors who came to visit, but also made Curry, the leading player in the Warriors, the ten three-pointers in this game, dimly lost.
Seeing that the team he liked won the ball, Yang Jing became in a better mood, so he was ready to treat himself.
It was almost noon, and snowflakes were still falling outside. Although it was not as heavy as last night, it seemed that the snow would fall to at least this evening.
And there was a snowy place outside at this time, with snowflakes falling in the sky. Under such a scenery, if you don’t have a hot pot, you’d be sorry for the beautiful scenery.
In China, the most important thing in eating hot pot is the heavy snow outside the window and the hot pot inside the window is boiling, so that you can have the true charm of the hot pot.
Since that's the case, what else can I say? Let's start cleaning up!
The Jones brothers did not prepare difficult tableware such as hot pot for Yang Jing, nor did they have any basic ingredients, but this could not help Yang Jing.
There was a pot made of pure copper in the storage space, including charcoal and other things, so Yang Jing took out the hot pot and took out the seasonings and other things.
It doesn’t matter if the mutton slices are not available, there is beef here, and the beef is pretty good.
The Jones brothers prepared a lot of vegetables and other vegetables, and brought their own seasonings and hot pot charcoal, so this hot pot is basically nothing short of it.
After working hard for more than half an hour, a sumptuous hot pot was ready. However, while Yang Jing was waiting for the boiling, the sound of engine sounded outside.
Looking out through the window, Yang Jing found that the Jones brothers were driving a tractor and pickup truck and returned here again. However, the Jones brothers were not the only ones who got off the bus, but also two other men in their thirties.
Needless to say, these two people should be Elvin Baldwin and Oscar Robertson.
Since this point has come, there is naturally no reason to let them leave again. If you don’t say anything, just sit down and eat hot pot! Seeing that the four of them were covered with water stains, it was obvious that the four of them were not idle this morning.
I worked hard all morning and had a hot hot pot at noon. It would definitely be very comfortable, and it would be a reward for the four of them.
