Chapter 209: The New Season Begins
After the Knicks and Nets finished the preseason in Chinese mainland, they flew non-stop to Taiwan. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Due to the long-term assistance of the US imperialists, the culture here also bears the shadow of the United States. In Taiwan, the most popular sport is baseball. Like South Korea and Japan, it is something brought by the US garrison. Basketball is the second most popular sport in the local area, and many fans make a special trip to the airport to pick them up.
To Sun Yi's surprise, almost all of his eyes were fans wearing the Knicks' No. 8 jersey. These descendants of Yan and Huang, who are as black-haired and yellow-skinned as themselves, have not given up their favorite sports because of the tense political atmosphere between the two sides of the strait.
The second preseason game between the two teams in Taipei City also played very well. Sun Yi and Devon. Harris's exciting matchup between two All-Star level point guards made the Treasure Island fans who came to watch the game addicted.
96 to 115!
The New Jersey Nets lost to their neighbor Knicks once again, and were selected by head coach Frank as the team's future cornerstone of the Harris Lopez combination, and the two games were not as good as they could be. However, after all, there is still some time before the start of the regular season, and the Nets coaching staff have a chance to continue to adjust the pair.
No one would have imagined what kind of shameful record this Eastern powerhouse, which had reached the finals two years in a row, would leave behind.
……
This trip to the Far East, although it disrupted the Knicks' training rhythm for the new season. But beating neighbors New Jersey Tennis twice gave the players a boost in confidence. In particular, the new assistant coach Woe's painstakingly managed defensive system was extremely aggressive, and repeatedly made opponents go in vain.
The Knicks who performed well were rewarded with a two-day vacation as soon as they got off the plane. Sun Yi, who hasn't seen his girlfriend for more than three months, directly transferred to the latest flight to Houston.
This pair of lovers who have suffered from lovesickness, after meeting, in addition to complaining to each other, they have a tragic battle of thunder and fire. Among the tastes, you may wish to taste it slowly, and the sharp knife will not be repeated.
……
This summer, a lot of NBA teams have been very cautious in the trade market. One of the more rare phenomena is that players who only have one year left on their contracts are popular.
But when you think about it, it makes sense. Because, next summer, the 03 platinum generation, represented by the chosen son James, will become a complete free agent.
Countless NBA team general managers are staring at this piece of fat with red eyes.
Miami Heat President 'God Operator' Pat. Riley, after a series of moves over the summer, has plenty of salary space next year to chase one of those hot superstars.
This year the team executed Jemeni. O'Neal has a big $25 million contract in the final year, but the All-Star interior hasn't played for his worth since coming to the famous resort city on the South Coast. Last season's average contribution of 13 points and 5.4 rebounds per game was indeed a bit miserable.
The other had been used by Pat. Riley and manager Spoelstra's high hopes for talented player Mike Spoelstra. Beasley, caught in endless off-court trouble. While regretting that he didn't choose the Chinese guy in the first place, the president of the Heat has planned to trade this problem player who has not been taught to change.
In Pat. Riley's calculations, Toronto Raptors' Chris. Bosh is the Heat's most promising superstar this summer, and he forms a duo with the Flash, who decided to stay with the team. He had already communicated the idea to Wade individually, and he had promised that he would do his best to recruit the Dragon King to the South Coast.
As for James and Anthony, the best swingmen in the league, the president of the Heat simply doesn't dare to expect it. No superstar in NBA history would leave the team he's played for many years at the age of twenty-five or sixteen. In Pat. In Riley's eyes, James, Anthony, and Wade are all players at the same level.
……
The little prince of the Nuggets, who is remembered by many NBA general managers, can be described as difficult at this time. His fiancée, who had been in love with him for seven years, couldn't stand the boring life in a small city like Denver, so she went to New York, the world's first city, to develop alone.
Lesbian. Vazquiz had a marriage before he fell in love with Anthony. When the two met for the first time at a party, the core players of Syracuse University were instantly overwhelmed by Lala's beautiful face and charming style. After getting the contact information of the other party, Anthony, who fell in love, began a crazy pursuit.
Perhaps moved by the young man's infatuation, Lala, who was in the emotional window period, finally agreed to the other party's date invitation. In a bar with a good environment, the relationship between the two officially began.
Just as they were chatting very speculatively, Lala's ex-husband happened to be at the bar and had a lot of alcohol. The drunken man saw his ex-wife and a young man intimacy, and he instantly became enthusiastic.
Wow!
A glass of fruit wine will ruin the makeup on Lala's face.
Boom!
The man who poured the wine was punched away by Anthony.
At this moment, Lala, who had a bumpy love road. Vazquiz fell in love with this cute big boy.
After that, the relationship between the two quickly warmed up, and the relationship was soon confirmed. In Anthony's second year in the league, Lara gave up her career in New York to come to Denver to be with her lover......
But the life of professional players running around makes the two get together less and leave more. Lala, who is in the best years of a woman, is gradually fed up with such days.
The departure of his lover made Anthony not think about it. He is often distracted in training, and his recent performance has caught the attention of Nuggets management. Could it be that this core player who has been in the team for six years has other thoughts after repeatedly failing to hit the championship?
Uncontrollable contradictions are often caused by some inconspicuous misunderstandings.
……
Cleveland, Cavaliers Training Gym.
Syllable!
Chirping!
The basketball hoop was deformed by the force, and there was a tooth-sore moan.
In the recent intra-team training game, James broke through to attract the opposing defense, and a seemingly random high throw accurately found his inside teammate.
The big shark, who was already over thirty-seven years old, easily slammed into Valejo with a slight slump of shoulders. Although the starting height is not as high as when he was younger, this nimble big fat man is still a rare opponent in the three-second zone. I saw him grab the ball with one hand in the air, and a simple slash had such momentum.
Aspiring to be the best player in league history, James has not been able to reach the Eastern Conference Finals for two years in a row after being swept by the Spurs in the Finals in '07.
This year, with the arrival of a four-time championship ring winner. This Cavaliers team already has all the making, talent, experience, and determination to win the O'Brien Trophy......
……
Since the Knicks started training for the new season, the happiest person is the team reporter. The offseason that the players are most looking forward to is especially difficult for the beautiful Helen.
Every morning when she wakes up, the girl looks at the star's posters that cover the walls of her bedroom. The handsome Chinese guy above seems to be coming out of the poster. Give yourself a sweet kiss, and then hug her and say endless love words......
At this time, Helen, who was sitting on the sidelines of the Knicks training hall, was full of the Chinese guy who was running and jumping on the court. In fact, it is also a kind of happiness to be able to sit quietly here and watch him play every day.
Last season, because of Sun Yi's involvement in the black incident, the Knicks team photographer Carl Brown. Vaux, who hasn't been in touch with Harry since, who brought him a lot of extra money.
Vaux, who has lost this income, has recently begun to struggle again. Especially the wife of the family, after enjoying a somewhat luxurious life, has higher and higher requirements for her husband.
Being a partner with a stunner in the world is not an ordinary pressure for an ordinary man. The photographers on the Knicks team fantasized countless times about this glamorous woman tossing and turning under him, especially when his wife became more and more demanding, and this dream became more and more frequent.
But when he sobers up, he will immediately understand that such a woman is not something he can control at all. Moreover, after a season of getting along, Vokes can't see that his partner already has a heart.
One is the hottest supernova in the league, and the other is a wage earner who can only eat. The huge gap made Vaux unable to raise a trace of hatred and jealousy, and he only hoped that Harry, who had not been seen for a long time, would reappear......
……
The NBA, the world's top basketball tournament that has been suspended for more than five months, kicked off on October 27.
Among them, the Cleveland Cavaliers' home game against the Celtics became the focus of the four games of the day.
Take a look at their starting line-up and you can see why the league put the matchup between these two teams on the first day of the season.
Knight: Maurice. Williams, James, Antoine. Jamison, Vallejo, O'Neill.
Celtics: Rondo, Ray. Allen, Pierce, Garnett, Perkins.
As soon as the game began, the two teams with the best hopes of reaching the Eastern Conference Finals in the playoffs immediately entered the battle of bayonets.
The home team relied on the unmatched athleticism of the Chosen Son, and constantly attacked the defensive guru Tom Brown. The Clover Legion defensive line constructed by Thibodeau.
Under the tight defense, the big shark, which was pinned on by the Cavaliers, finally showed its worth. Facing Perkins, the Celtics' starting center who is more than ten years younger than him, O'Neal is like no one under the opponent's basket. 4 shots, 8 points, 4 rebounds and 1 hat, and the little emperor who scored 9 points and 3 assists from inside and outside.
At the end of the first quarter, the home team led by seven points, 28-21.
Section 2, Cold-Blooded Killer Regent. Allen suddenly became powerful, and he scored 14 points on three three-point shots, leading the team to a score of 30-17 in a single quarter. Let the visitors come from behind, leading the home team by six points at half-time, 51-45.
The game between the two teams in the third quarter was intractable, and the Cavaliers showed signs of collapse at one point as O'Neal's fitness declined and his control gradually waned. Thanks to the explosion of outside firepower, which attracted a large part of the opponent's experience, James got a lot of one-on-one breakthrough opportunities.
70 to 72!
The Cavaliers, who entered the fourth quarter with such a score, were clearly unwilling to lose the game against their main competitor at home. In order to strengthen the attack, they removed Vallejo and replaced it with outside shooter Anthony. Parker, used a lineup of one big and four small.
In the face of this change in the home team, Celtics coach Doug Murphy . Rivers with his human body and his human way, with the roar of the Heavenly Venerable Rashid. Wallace replaces blue-collar center Perkins.
For a while, it rained three points at the Cleveland Quick-Loan Arena all day long.
In the end, the home team with better luck narrowly won 96-94.
The Cavaliers' victory in this strong conversation has many experts optimistic about the team's prospects for this year.
The game between the Washington Wizards and the Dallas Mavericks will be about whether the 'big general' Arenas can return to his peak form after a serious injury and suspension.
102 to 91!
Arenas scored 29 points on the bench Andrey. Blatch and Randy. With the help of Foye, they defeated the away team led by Nowitzki.
The great general, who has created a lot of classic pictures, proved that he is still the one who can decide the outcome of the game in that moment with his outstanding performance.
The game between the defending champion Lakers and the Clippers, the younger brother of the city, was considered the least suspenseful contest in the first round before it started.
However, what was surprising was that with 3 minutes left in the game, the leading side turned out to be the Clippers, who were perennially at the bottom of the league.
Eric. Gordon, Chris. Carman, Marcus. Camby, Byron. Davis, Drew. The Gooden Five scored double-doubles in this game, and the Lakers, in addition to Kobe Bryant and Odom playing normally, like the newcomer Artest, does not seem to have adapted to the new club's tactical system.
Seeing that he was about to lose the first home court of the new season, at a critical moment, the young center that the Lakers management was preparing to praise this year. Bynum burst out. He first snatched the ball that Kobe Bryant threw away from Kaman's head, and then smashed the opponent away in one step to score. Then, on the defensive end, he helped defend Gordon and blocked the opponent's layup.
After switching offense, he once again used his super physical fitness to eat the opponent's center and hit a 2+1 shot in the low post.
99 to 95!
The Lakers, who were passive all over the court, relied on the excellent play of Bynum, the young center in the team, to successfully reverse the opponent in the final moments of the game.
Another young center, sitting on the Clippers' bench, watched the opposing guy, a year older than him, almost single-handedly beat his own team.
DeAndrew's depressed expression. Jordan, turn your gaze to Kaman. Chris, you're old. And I don't want to waste my time waving the towel in my hand on the sidelines every day.
……
The Houston Rockets went north to Portland to challenge the Trail Blazers, and there was no suspense from start to finish.
Yao Ming, who recovered his health, faced the sick son Auden the Great. Playing a big double-double of 28 points, 15 rebounds and 5 blocks, Kevin was traded from the Kings. Martin, in this game, played a good role as an outside fire support.
The skillful combination of inside and outside made the home team led by Roy have no temper.
96 to 87!
It looks like the Houstonians are still the biggest obstacle in the Lakers' way to defending their title. (To be continued.) )
