Chapter 849 Oolong

It has to be said that the explanation of this matter on the American website is much more detailed than that on the Chinese website. After looking at several websites, Yang Jing finally understood why Cuban wanted to change his name.

It turns out that the Dallas Mavericks were not called "Mavericks" before. It was the Chinese fans who gave them a random name and called them "Mavericks".

The English name of the Mavericks is “Dallas Mavericks”. Dallas, needless to say, is Dallas, and Mavericks actually comes from a surname.

Samuel Maverick was the largest landowner in Texas in the 19th century. In 1845, someone owed Maverick a lot of money. When Maverick went to collect the debt, the debtor had no cash to repay, so he gave him 400 cows as compensation.

At that time in Texas, in order to distinguish the ownership of cattle, all cattle would be branded, so that as long as you saw the brand on the cattle, you could tell whose cattle it belonged to. Local people who owned cattle did this, but Maverick disdained to do so. Over time, local people called the cattle without brands Maverick's cattle.

Eventually, this name spread throughout the United States and was eventually included in the dictionary, where it derived a new meaning, becoming a synonym for strong, free, and pioneering. Its connotation can be interpreted as being aggressive and awesome, but definitely not a calf.

After reading this explanation, Yang Jing finally understood why Cuban wanted to change his Chinese name.

The original name of the team means something awesome, but when it came to the mouths of Chinese fans, it became a calf still nursing. Who the hell would want to use this name?

No wonder both the team owner Mark Cuban and the star player Nowitzki were very dissatisfied when they learned 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. My team is so awesome, but it is called "Mavericks" by hundreds of millions of Chinese fans. I can tolerate this, but I can't!

Change the name, no matter what, it has to be changed. If I don't change the name, what will I become? If the team is called the Mavericks, then I, as the boss, will become a black and white cow?

After reading this funny introduction, Yang Jing was a little confused. This was actually a big mistake.

It was for this reason that Yang Jing was in a very good mood. He happily watched the German tank slaughter all the opponents in this game. At the age of 41, he completed the feat of 22+11+6. Not only did he repel the visiting Warriors in one fell swoop, but he also made the ten three-pointers made by the Warriors' star player, elementary school student Curry, pale in comparison.

Seeing his favorite team win the game, Yang Jing's mood became better, so he prepared to reward himself.

It was almost noon and snowflakes were still falling outside. Although not as heavy as last night, it looked like the snow would last until at least this evening.

It was snowing outside and snowflakes were falling from the sky. In such a scene, if you don't have a hotpot, it would be a shame to enjoy this beautiful scenery.

In China, the most important thing about eating hotpot is to have heavy snow outside the window and the steam from the hotpot boiling inside. Only in this way can the real flavor of hotpot be tasted.

So what else is there to say? Let's start cleaning up!

The Jones brothers did not prepare any sophisticated tableware or base ingredients for Yang Jing, such as hot pot, but this did not pose a problem for Yang Jing.

There was a pure copper pot in the storage space, as well as charcoal and other things, so Yang Jing took out the hot pot and also took out the condiments.

It doesn’t matter if there are no mutton slices, there is plenty of beef here, and the shabu-shabu beef is also quite good.

The Jones brothers prepared a lot of vegetables and brought their own condiments and hot pot charcoal, so the hot pot was basically complete.

After more than half an hour of hard work, a sumptuous hot pot was ready. However, while Yang Jing was waiting for the pot to boil, the sound of an engine was heard outside.

Looking out the window, Yang Jing found that the Jones brothers had returned here again in a tractor and a pickup truck. However, it was not only the Jones brothers who got off the car, but also two other men in their thirties.

Needless to say, these two people should be Alvin Baldwin and Oscar Robertson.

Since they were here at this time, there was no reason for them to leave. No problem, let's sit down and eat hot pot together! Seeing that the four people all had water stains on their bodies, it was obvious that they had not been idle this morning.

After a busy morning, having a hot pot at noon would definitely be very comfortable and could be considered a reward for the four of them.

PS: I bow to thank "First Kiss Was Given to the Hand" for the reward of 500.
