Chapter 57: The Regular Season Begins
When the team conversation was over, Sean walked out of the room, his face not looking very good. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Although the Hawks selected him with the pick, Sean was not happy at all, and the team's head coach David Woodson was not very good at it, especially when it came to tactics. Woodson studied under Larry Brown, and the team was defense-oriented and had very few tactics on the offensive end.
Defensively, Sean admires David Woodson, there's no doubt about it, but on the offensive end, Sean can't have much affection for David Woodson.
And, by the definition of a point guard, Sean and David Woodson have a lethal clash.
David Woodson and Larry Brown are exactly the same routine, the point guard is strong, the defense is strong, can pass, can shoot three-pointers, and is completely positioned as a supporting role. For example, the Pistons' point guard Flounder Chauncey Billups.
But Sean and Billups are completely different types.
Sean's outstanding height, relatively weak strength, excellent breakthrough skills, and already accurate shooting are not suitable for being a point guard like Billups, and in this regard, Sean and David Woodson have completely different requirements.
This is the real reason for the contradiction between the two.
Speaking of which, both Sean and David Woodson are good players and good coaches, and there is no fundamental conflict.
After some conversation, the first game of the regular season began quickly.
After the start of the regular season, the Eagles will have an away trip.
In the first game, the Hawks played the Warriors on the road.
At the beginning of this game, it was hot, on the one hand, the Warriors' home stadium Golden State is a gathering place for Chinese, and the tickets were sold out by the local Chinese before the game started, on the other hand, as the first team to break out in infighting this year, the Hawks were very topical, so this game, ESPN conducted a national live broadcast in the United States.
China CCAV TV.
Mr. Zhang Li and Mr. Sun Zhengping jointly explained the first game of the NBA.
In fact, the game was not supposed to be live, but the Rockets did not play today, so the TV station chose the Hawks vs. Warriors game as the live broadcast. And this game is the first time that Chinese fans have watched Sean's game.
Tournament Entry.
The Hawks' Sean was the first to enter the arena, winning the cheers of the Warriors' home court, and many people in the Warriors' arena pulled banners in support of Sean. If you look at the audience, you will see a large area of yellow-skinned Chinese.
The cheers and cheers from the audience made all the players of the Hawks and Warriors envious.
As their home court, the Warriors' players have never won such high cheers, and the Hawks are envious of Sean, who has already played, this kind of treatment even Kobe Bryant can't envy.
When Kobe Bryant came to the Warriors, there was no such high cheers.
When Sean heard such a high cheer, he waved his hand and was very happy.
On the other end, President Stern and a group of league executives were taken aback when they watched the live situation of this game.
"How's the ratings now?"
Stern asked, and the statisticians immediately broke out a statistic from China, 14 million people.
This data, if compared with Yao Ming's ratings in China, is very average. But as a rookie, getting so much attention in the first game shows that Sean's popularity is not low.
Outside players are born with an advantage over inside players.
Stern's eyes lit up, he didn't speak, still watching the game.
…………
In the CCAV studio, Mr. Zhang read Sean Lee's introduction and did a popular science for many fans who didn't know Sean, and joined the NBA as a leaderboard, which attracted many fans.
"There are very few professional players among Chinese Americans in the United States, and to date, Sean is the first Chinese-American player to participate in the NBA and the highest draft pick, and perhaps this record will not be broken for a long time. Sean Lee is a very good player with excellent passing, excellent breaking, and a certain level of shooting, and he is said to be a player whose speed is unmatched in the league and his talent is so signed by the Hawks with this year's list. ”
"The Eagles players are playing, Huo, the first one is Sean, his height looks a little tall."
Teacher Sun Zhengping suddenly said.
Reasonable teacher hurried up to popularize science: "When on the side, Sean Lee's height is 198CM, which is comparable to most small forwards, and according to Yao Ming, Sean's height is not the slightest false report, it is the real height." In this way, his height can be registered to the level of 201, which should be the tallest point guard in the NBA. ”
The reasonable teacher said, and the players also entered one after another.
The game started quickly.
Both sides jump the ball.
The Warriors and Hawks have fun jumping balls and are a prime example of rookies pecking at each other. The center of the Eagles is Zazapachuria, a representative of the floor stream, and the bounce is awkward. And the Warriors are the same, the center is very different, it is Troy Murphy who often pulls out to shoot three-pointers, so the Hawks jump ball is Josh Howard, and the Warriors jump ball is Adonal Foyle, Josh Smith is worthy of being a talented high school student with full physical fitness, and he quickly jumped the ball successfully.
Sean catches the ball and dribbles across half court.
Just after halftime, Joe Johnson ran into an open position, Richardson didn't follow the good guys, Sean didn't hesitate to immediately pass the ball over, just right to Joe Johnson's hands. Joe Johnson hit a direct shot.
Warriors offense.
It was Josh Smith who defended Byron Davis, and Josh defended well, and this time the coach didn't let Sean defend, in fact, it was the right choice defensively. Josh's defense was on point, but Byron Davis hit a pull-up jumper from mid-range. In basketball, the attacker always has an advantage over the defender in the same situation.
The Hawks attacked, Sean was on the edge of the three-point line, and Byron Davis defended.
Sean hit a direct three-pointer. Byron Davis's strength is very strong, but his height is the height of a point guard, just 190CM, under this height difference, Sean was defended half a step away, and there was no direct hesitation to shoot directly with a three-point shot.
The Warriors attacked, Richardson missed, Al Harrington stealed, Josh Smith made a steal, and then passed the ball to Sean.
On the court, the two showed restraint, did not deliberately meet and did not pass the ball, and did not seem to have any problems.
Sean broke through with the ball, directly attracted the bag and stood between the two, the basketball was smashed by Sean and bounced up, and Josh Smith rushed directly to catch the ball with a violent dunk. Sean attracted the defense, and there was no one to defend at all under the basket.
This is a very high level of passing, with a good grasp of power and direction, and the ability to time the pass, and any mistake can turn the ball into a mistake.
But Sean succeeded without any suspense.
The Warriors attacked again, and after the block, Murphy received the ball and shot from the outside, and Sean was not in a hurry to defend Murphy hit a three-pointer.
This time it was Sean's mistake, Murphy's breakthrough ability was not strong, and Sean had a speed advantage, so he just had to shoot close to the defense.
