Abstract: If the previous article was largely incomprehensible to most people, given the presence not only of references, but allusions to characters (albeit historical) that from time to both appear on the parquet NBA, this will be even more.
(Porte the obligatory apology, let the point).
November 3, 2008 (yes, you go backwards),
Monday, to be precise.
Esco, Fury from the period 5 and as already mentioned several times by the name of "Basketball." Fury go home shower, change clothes, and off we go. Ah no, it lacks one thing that will be very, very important. The camera. Now, we go.
2 hours of Interstate 20, the road (so to speak) they really do not see neither the beginning (North Carolina!) Nor the end (West Texas). When we finally seeing the first skyscrapers, you realize you have come, if downtown Dallas is your destination.
Meanwhile in the two hours spent traveling, call the child to surveillance for people in a state of probation in Longview. In other words that would Mr. Wesley, whose offspring by the name of David. David (Wesley ed.) Former Cleveland (and much more, but this will be dealt with in the future), that of the Finals two years ago, says to stay at the hotel where the Cavaliers would be there because a friend who procure tickets for the match of the night. Cleveland at Dallas.
The hotel, stuff for at least 3 zeros at night, two hundred yards from the American Airlines Center. So scenic ride around the estate of Mark Cuban, and so the hotel, which lies in between a 20-storey building with various offices and shops of different products but with a common denominator: the number of digits on the label, impractical. Apart from the scenic ride around, we go (I and Sg. Filippazzo) to the hotel lobby, where Amanda is waiting for us. Amanda is the director of marketing of the Cavaliers, and that gives us two tickets for a newbie like me is pure gold. Tickets from the 90 bucks a section where the press sits, which are the lowest in the ring with you and not a dozen yards from the field. A dream.
So that having made the most sincere greetings of gratitude, we move to the palace that night, of course, is expected to be filled to maximum capacity of 19000 spectators. Among other reasons, there is one that has a name. LeBron.
arrive soon, very soon indeed, with a clear idea of \u200b\u200btaking two temporary seats on the sideline, so remember to get a few autographs from the players go by. The hope is that the chosen distance, but as hope is not said is true. And it will remain so. In return, we get two or three autographs including rookie JJ Hickson (to keep in mind), Boobie Gibson and Andy Varejao, I also dedicate the honor of the photo you see up there.
addition to this, as we said there was a game to play. Let's face it, not the most exciting of all time, because it is just the beginning of November and LeBron is not in the mood to enhance. It will finish with 29 in agility. The Mavs lost at home the game that will start the streak (range for the truth by the victory of San Antonio, but these days no text) of six consecutive defeats. Fans furious Mavs, Mark Cuban did not even speak.
After the game, however, runs back home, and with it the harsh reality. As a first time
absolutely not bad, if not more than the outline of the game itself, but with Dirk and LeBron on the court (to name just two, eh) is a priori more than respectable. Meanwhile
now waiting impatiently for the Knicks (who at Sg. Filippazzo very much at heart), in the hope of seeing a free-range Gallo, although probbilmente even that is and will remain a hope.
The second is to be attached to the chapter on "emotions" is deliberately left out that the episode is staged at the hotel. Two seconds after receiving our tickets, we go out there and decide to calm it's time to relax for a moment at a table in Starbucks. There is no way. Two minutes later the bus NBA, so players, staff, marketing directors and so on. boarding the bus, we all march to a couple of meters. The last, dressed all in black with two old-style headphones over his ears, and LeBron, who in addition to carrying the bag also brings a shiver. Oh well, there's just way to relax eh.
