NBA debut (Part I)
On October 30, 2007, it has been a few months since the last time I separated from Taeyeon, after returning to the United States, I continued to strengthen my training, and before I knew it, it was the day of the game, and the atmosphere of the team couldn't help but be tense these days, Durant and I came to the arena early to start warming up, the first home game against the Atlanta Hawks, everyone didn't arrive, and there were just two of us in the stadium.
Bang, bang sound came from the arena, the two of us kept practicing running and blocking, huhu, practice to this point, there is still a game in the evening, to maintain the state, it's not good to be too tired, I said to him.
Well, I said Howe, you have to pass me a few more balls tonight, the damn Hawks head coach actually told the media that we can't win the Hawks' belly team, saying that although we have a high draft pick, we are all rookies, the NBA is not for children to play, I'm so angry, I must beat them today, Durant said angrily.
No problem, let's join forces tonight, let them see that the Dick Twins are not easy to mess with, rest assured, we don't have to block and dismantle today, I will break through directly, you just wait on the outside to shoot, the butterfly I practiced recently didn't come in handy, I was also very angry in my heart, the Hawks head coach said at the press conference a few days ago that the supersonic sent away Ray. Arun and Rassad. It was a fool's errand for Lewis to pick two rookies with a high pick, and Uncle Sam said we had to teach him a lesson this time, and tonight the coach also gave us unlimited firing rights, saying we could play freely.
Soon it was evening, half an hour before the start of the game, after the warm-up, the coach gathered us together and began to set up tactics, and the referee's whistle blew, and we walked into the field. Collisson, Dai Quinn. Cook, Kevin. Durant, Brent. Barry, Chen Junhao, Hawks players: Mike. Bibby, Joe. Johnson, Morris. Evans, Josh. Smith, Al. Horford, Collison and scrum, the ball was slapped into my hands by Collison, and I got the ball and quickly passed through the Hawks defenders, quickly broke through to the basket before they could set up a defensive lineup, and made an easy layup to score my first NBA score.
Turning back, Bibby dribbled the ball to the three-point line, and when I thought he was going to pass the ball, well, a three-point hollow cleanly drilled into the basket, and he said to me: Hey, rookie, welcome to the NBA, it's really an old fritter on the NBA court, I put away my contempt, get serious, and the game started in both offense and defense.
