On the first game day of the new NBA season, fans were impressed by the excitement of the game. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the Los Angeles derby, the Lakers, who were unsatisfactory last season, showed an unexpectedly strong momentum after the departure of Howard and the reimbursement of Kobe's season.

Pau Gasol, an All-Star interior who was almost scrapped by D'Antoni last season, carried the banner of the Lakers, and was not afraid of Griffin and Jordan Jr. throughout the game, cutting down 15 points and 13 rebounds.

In addition, the Lakers' new signing, Belgian small forward Xavier Henry's eye-catching performance of 22 points, also made Lakers fans at the Staples Center very happy. The return of Jordan Farmar, the hero of the Lakers' championship, was also very high-profile, and he used 16 points and 6 assists to give Paul a headache.

In this way, the Lakers, who were left with only Gasol and Nash, unexpectedly defeated the Clippers in the first game.

Such a fierce and unexpected duel naturally became the second most-rated match of the night.

The other game of the opener was between the Chicago Bulls, who welcomed back Rose, and last year's Eastern Conference champions, the Miami Heat.

This summer, Pat Riley was as calm as if there was no temperature. The Heat only picked up a few league outcasts, Oden, Beasley, and Mason, piecemeal. In addition, they also pardoned Mike Miller, who played steadily in the playoffs last season and had some time in the Finals. The Heat didn't make any changes to that hard-to-replenish interior.

Because of this, Carlos Boozer scored a full 31 points on the Heat's weak interior. And Jimmy Butler, who rose strongly during Rose's injury, also scored 20 points in front of the Heat.

It's a pity that the vengeful Heat team now only has Anjie and the Trail Blazers in mind. The others are just stepping stones on the way to revenge.

Rose, who returned from injury, was abused by Wade, who was also injured, and the Heat also relied on their stronger overall strength to win the game 95-107.

As for the most-watched game on the opening day, it was the matchup between the defending champion Portland Trail Blazers and the Phoenix Suns.

The Suns were considered the biggest dark horses in the West this season before the game, while the Trail Blazers were the biggest winners in the West last season.

Such a duel is enough to attract attention. What's more, there are hundreds of millions of Chinese fans watching this game from a distant land.

Anjie and the Trail Blazers also lived up to expectations, unlike the Heat and Lakers, who left the game suspenseful until the end. Instead, it was only two and a half quarters long before the victory was almost sealed.

Although the suspense of the game has long been lost, the intensity of the game has not diminished in the slightest. Every confrontation between Plumlee and Anjie was so exciting, and there were many more highlights in this match than in the other two.

That's why this upbeat game was the most watched game of the day.

After the game, Anjie also showed off his shiny championship ring to reporters. And this picture has also become the news picture of many newspapers and online media today.

Although the first game was a hearty victory, Anjie and the Trail Blazers are still questioned.

This Chinese idiom is equally applicable even on American soil.

The Trail Blazers are a championship team, and the championship team naturally has countless pairs of eyes around them to monitor the whole process. Some of these people will be like Wu Hua and Bill Wharton to support the championship. But there will always be a few people with bad intentions.

Sam Smith, a well-known journalist who formed a bond with Anjie last season, pointed out in his column.

"Last night's game, the Trail Blazers got a big win. But I won't be happy for Anjie, but ashamed of what he did!33 to 17, this statistic, is the ratio of the total fouls of the two teams yesterday. How many times are these times, it is An Jie's fake fall and acting. And how many times, it comes from the league's favoritism and protection of the championship team. If the Trail Blazers are really champions, then they should use their own strength to win the game, not rely on this crooked way!"

Although Sam was immersed in the face for a while after being slapped in the face by Anjie last season, a guy like him will never stop. Back then, he was able to get entangled with Chuck Daley's army of bad boys, and now, he's going to fight Anjie to the same end.

There is good and bad in everything, and An Jie has long been accustomed to this kind of life in the comments of others.

Whether it's good remarks about him or Sam who speaks ill of him, An Jie doesn't care.

After a big victory and a war of words from reporters, An Jie still got up early the next day, ate the breakfast prepared by Catherine, kissed his wife goodbye, and then drove the somewhat old RX-7 out.

He didn't have time to care about all that frivolous talk, and he didn't have time to compete with these guys. Train, Train, Train...... Anjie is always the first to start training and the last to finish training every day. This day-to-day effort is the secret of his success.

How hard is it for a center to survive in the NBA? If you have the leisure to take a look at the BBR, a basketball statistics website, you will find that among the players registered in the NBA this season, there are only 22 pure centers who have played for less than four years. This number is not even enough for the 30 teams in the NBA. For comparison, there are 89 pure defenders and 84 pure forwards.

Before these young players entered the league, they were told that the position of center forward is not very popular these days, and it is difficult for active centers to get any big contracts from capitalists. The team doesn't revolve around you, and even if you build around you and give you 40 minutes to play, you're still vulnerable to injury. Even a big man like An Jie, who has achieved fame, hasn't he been reimbursed for a year? Didn't An Jie stick to the game last season?

In such an environment, the center is no longer a good business. It's not for nothing that Anjie is called "the last big traditional center", after all, people in the league who play like Yao Ming, O'Neal and Anjie can be counted without a finger at all, because the number is 0.

Even last season's performance in the Eastern Conference Finals was like a gigantic Australian lobster, which made a big impression. But more attention was paid to the question of how much Paul George's jump shot was like Maddie's, and people didn't care how dark or how much Yao Ming looked like Yao Ming, because even with Hibbert and Anjie there, it couldn't prevent the fact that the center was destined to wither.

No way, it takes about four years to develop a good center, and it may only take two years to develop a good defender. After all, whether it's awareness, skill or physicality, it's a long time commitment to move a center from the NCAA to the NBA.

Thinking about the picture of An Jie being easily pushed away by others when he played in the NBA in his first year, An Jie has not experienced these difficulties.

In addition, the league has now introduced a series of restrictive rules, from the expansion of the three-second zone of attack and defense, to the differential treatment of the penalty scale of internal and external physical contact, from the setting of interference balls to the relaxation of zone defense. These rules all open the door to the outside line and wear small shoes for the inside line.

In such a difficult environment, Anjie became a double MVP and won the championship, but it was not all due to luck and talent.

An Jie is indeed lucky, he can always meet a group of like-minded comrades. Anjie is also very talented, first of all, his height is something that no one else can learn anyway, and secondly, Anjie is extremely capable of learning, which also allows him to be stronger every season than the previous year.

But what supports An Jie to really get to where he is today is his tireless efforts and diligence that matches it.

It is precisely because of this that An Jie has allowed himself to adapt to the rhythm of the NBA game faster, and has also allowed himself to successfully correct the name of the center.

Sam Smith and his colleagues' remarks, let them amuse themselves. Now An Jie only has training in his eyes, and of course, only their next opponent, the old rival Denver Nuggets!

※※※

This season, the Nuggets' roster has changed a lot. They brought in Nate Robinson, the shortest dunk champion who shone in last year's playoffs, and signed back Russian center Mozgov. Combined with Darrell Arthur and Anthony Randolph, who are known for their shooting, the Nuggets' interior lineup is definitely enough to make the rest of the league look at them with envy.

By the way, the addition of J.J. Hickson, the champion of the Trail Blazers last season, gave the Nuggets a shot in the arm.

In the face of such a diverse team with interior players, the new head coach of the Nuggets, Brian Shaw, will definitely use a wheel battle to fight Anjie.

He didn't expect any of the group to defeat An Jie, but it was still possible to combine the strength of all of them to bring An Jie down.

Anjie has already started his training day at the Moda Center, and J.J. Hickson has been training for himself at his new home at PepsiCo.

Practice, this thing Hickson learned from An Jie. Although he has a good relationship with An Jie, it is precisely because of this that Hickson is more eager to compete with An Jie in the game.

"I don't want to meet you so early, old man. But don't worry, I'll do my best! I won't let you down in this game!" Hickson sent a "battle letter" to An Jie in the form of a text message.

Another meeting between old friends, another rare inside showdown.

Can Brian Shaw's inside group drag down An Jie, and can An Jie survive alone in this long man's jungle.

The new season continues, no matter how hard this way of center forward is, Anjie will take it one by one!
