Chapter 22: A Dramatic Beginning

"What, the Bulls lost!"

No sooner had the Lakers players returned to the locker room than they heard the magical news.

Is it rare for the Bulls to lose?

In the past two seasons, they have only lost more than 20 games in the regular season, which is rare but not shocking.

But who did the Bulls lose to?

Celt!

Last year, Duncan's second-to-last team in the league was still rotten!

The tail of the crane killed the invincible division?

I can't even write this kind of plot, but it really happened.

"Yes, Bulls 85:92 Celtics, Michael was alone, 7-of-23, 16-of-21 free throws to finish with 30 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists."

"It's a bit iron."

"Maybe it's the lack of Pippen to get attention and pass the ball."

"Who's guarding Michael?" Bryant asks a crucial question.

"This year's No. 6 show, Tracy McGrady, is an exaggeration! His physical fitness is too exaggerated! Although his strength is not as good as Michael's, and he was eventually beaten by Michael to 6 fouls, his height, his arm span, and his agility brought Michael a very big challenge, which is why the shooting percentage is so low. ”

"Madia." Kobe Bryant smiled slightly, and it looked like Wheat Di, who had been specially trained by Auerbach, was stronger.

Next time, find a chance to try Maddy's growth alone!

"Antoine Walker chipped in 31 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists, Keith Van Horn chipped in 19 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, and Maddie had 13 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 1 block."

"Fattou played really well, and he blew up Rodman in this game."

"Rodman looks a little bit out of shape, maybe it has something to do with his offseason nostalgia for Las Vegas, he hasn't found his competitive form yet."

"The Celtics are really talented, and it seems that the East is about to change."

The rest of the game didn't have too many waves, with Houston comfortably beating the Cavaliers, the SuperSonics taking the Trail Blazers, the Spurs beating the Nuggets, and the Magic beating the Hawks.

It is worth mentioning that this year's champion Tim Duncan made his debut with 15 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks on 6-of-9 shooting.

"What, blowing so badly, the result is 15+10? That's it? "Campbell started to go crazy.

"A 66.6 percent hit rate, which is not bad."

The Magic Twins made a stellar debut, beating the Atlanta Hawks, a civilian team that eliminated the Pistons last year.

Uncle Mu's defense was seen as infallible by the Gemini.

Hardaway had 21 points, four rebounds and seven assists.

Webb had 24 points, nine rebounds and five assists.

Led the team to a 112-89 victory over the Eastern Conference powerhouse Hawks.

"The east is really going to change." Phil Jackson sat in his office for a long time and didn't come home.

Chicago's nights are filled with sirens and gunsmoke.

The neon lights flickered, and Phil Jackson pondered for a long time.

was forced into the palace by Klaus, and he did not panic. The Bulls dynasty was formed by him, and after winning 5 championships, he definitely didn't have to worry about finding a top team to coach. Even compared to the chaotic Chicago, going to other teams will have a huge improvement in terms of salary and living environment.

Pippen is out injured and will not be back until January, and Phil Jackson isn't too worried. The team's roster depth ranks among the top three in the league, with Cookic at the small forward position, Jason Caffi can top, and even Jordan can sometimes make a cameo.

But this game lost to the newcomers Celtics, and Phil Jackson felt that something was wrong.

Jordan's form is still 30+, but it is inevitable that it will still decline slightly compared to last year. Speed and race focus have declined.

However, the performance of the other veterans of the team was not satisfactory to the Zen master at all.

Rodman was actually cut 31 points by a second-grade show fat head?

Is Tony Cookic and this year's rookie Van Horne on the pitch?

Harper shot 1 of 3 and scored 1 point, 3 rebounds and 4 assists, this is how serious the stroke is, you must know that Pippen is not there, and the ball carrier of the team is Harper except for Jordan! Isn't it funny to play such a performance at the end?

The hearts of the veterans have already flown up.

Having won 3 or 5 titles, they have already enjoyed the taste of victory, and at the same time developed a proud mentality. This year's off-season must have been spent eating, drinking, and having fun.

The players of the American professional basketball team are the strongest people on the planet, not only are you getting old, but you are not good at training to maintain your condition, so how can you play with others.

Today's loss to the league crane tail Celtics, does it mean that they can't even make the playoffs tomorrow?

The Zen master hammered his fist on the table, he didn't want to be a shame in his last year with the bull, his goal was to be the strongest coach in history, and what he wanted was to be the last and greatest dance this year.

"The opening game ratings are 23% higher than last year! Overall ratings are focused on the Bulls vs. Celtics and the Lakers vs. Jazz. Xiao Hua pushed his eyes.

"Not bad, not bad." Stern narrowed his eyes, what could be more enjoyable than the rapid development of his career? Major League Basketball is now gaining momentum, overtaking Major League Baseball to become the second-largest league in the United States.

"The Bulls lost, and the Celtics' rookies played really well."

"Unexpected, reasonable."

"The Lakers beat the Jazz by 33 points!"

"What?" Stern couldn't stay calm anymore, something he hadn't expected at all.

The deal behind Richmond, it's hard to say that no league promoter can succeed, Stern just wants to build another super team in the East and West to compete with the Lakers and Bulls, and the new MVP Malone is undoubtedly the first choice.

In Stern's opinion, this Jazz team basically doesn't need too much run-in to become the strongest team, even if it can't beat the league king like the Lakers and Bulls, at least it will be entangled and fighting, how can it be slaughtered.

"President, come and see, Kobe's defense is too terrifying."

Stern looked at Kobe's defense and took a breath of cold air.

Isn't this defensive intensity the same as the defensive intensity of the peak Jordan?

The difference is just that Jordan will only defend like this for a while, while Kobe Bryant will carry out his defense almost every minute and every second!

How did he have such stamina and willpower?

"Win! Boss, we won! ”

The game between the 76ers and the Bucks also ended with the 76ers of the new army winning.

The 76ers under Adelman's coaching have a completely different style.

Iverson slashed 35 points, 4 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals.

Odom made his debut with 25 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks.

"Well played, lama." Kobe Bryant praised that Odom's debut in the previous life was stronger, with 30 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks.

Entering the NBA ahead of schedule, coupled with a shooting maniac like Iverson by his side, it is already very good to be able to cut such statistics.
