Chapter 494: Nervous Teammates (1/3)
It's a brand new season, and what the players feel they can brag about this season is that the management got the "team koi"~
Li Feng joined the Philadelphia 76ers with the team's maximum salary of $23 million a year!
The 76ers have not had good luck over the years, but this season they got Li Feng, and I don't know if their luck can get better.
The players are about to start playing their first game of the new season. At first, they were excited, but gradually they became a little nervous.
This tension is palpable in the dressing room.
Embiid: "How do I feel like I'm going to play my last game tonight?" ”
After saying that, the atmosphere in the room was a little more lively.
From the very calm state of no one to speak, the room gradually began to talk.
Kuzma kept his head down in front of his closet, and no one knew what he was doing.
Simmons and Bayless talk about his neighbor's pet in the morning.
Bayless laughed from time to time.
Embiid had an impromptu dance in the locker room~
Kuzma: "The regular season is still underway, I haven't been too nervous in the preseason"
Li Feng: "Huh? Are you talking to me? ”
Kuzma: "Was the regular season difficult? ”
Li Feng: "How difficult is the regular season...... You're not paying attention, knocking out your front teeth!! ”
Embarrassment from Kuzma +199!
Embiid: "Li Feng, what are you doing?!" It's okay, it's okay, although when I first came to the league, I spent most of my time in a hospital bed, but it's a big deal to be reimbursed for the season!
Li Feng, the scary thing you said~ Season reimbursement is, you directly scrap a season, you can also choose to retire directly~"
Kuzma: "......"
Are there any good people in this locker room?
The atmosphere is getting more and more lively, but it is true that there is a third of the players, and it is clear that they are nervous.
Coming to the scene to start warming up, Coach Brown kept talking to the assistant coaches on the coaching staff.
It didn't take long for the main players of both sides to take the court, and the Bulls were Robin Lopez, Markkanen, Portis, Dunn and Holiday in order!
The main lineup on the 76ers' side is Embiid, Ilyasova, Simmons, Li Feng and Bayless!
Kuzma was sitting on the bench on the sidelines at this time, like a student listening carefully~
His baby face also makes him look very different from the players around him.
Like a young fan of the goalscoring team......
At the beginning of the game, Embiid took the lead in getting the basketball, and then the basketball came to Li Feng's hands.
The home fans erupted in cheers! They greeted the new owners of the Philadelphia 76ers with shouts like this!
The team has a lot of courage this season!
They gave up the team's two-top lineup, and mainly used Embiid and Li Feng as the entry point to try to activate the whole team!
If a player is injured, or Li Feng can't play at all, then Philadelphia will be scrapped for the season ahead of schedule.
So the risk is still very high.
Simmons kept looking back at Li Feng, and at this time, Li Feng and the strong Holiday were fighting!
Ilyasova soon got Li Feng's pass and was directly cut off by Markkanen in the process of dribbling!
Dunn got his pass up front, dribbled a few times and immediately jumped up for a three-point shot!
What makes this year's rookies clearly feel is that the regular season and the preseason are indeed completely two states!
It can be seen that the Bulls are fighting hard!
And their Philadelphia side seems to be a little slow in terms of pace.
Bayless dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and Simmons got the ball and dribbled it directly to his own feet......
Basketball out of bounds.
Holiday received the ball in front of the court and immediately ran a few steps before hitting a three-point shot!
6:0!
Li Feng: "It's okay, it's okay. The way we started the season, we could use a few mistakes~
You're doing a great job! ”
Embiid: "I already feel the vinegar~Simmons, you'd better cooperate with me a few more~"
Simmons: "Hmm...... Good"
Simmons was also a little nervous in today's game, and he didn't know if he would be able to play in the regular season.
Images of the team's various losses last season, and the images of the team's internal quarrels reappeared in his mind.
This time Li Feng took the ball by himself, and Embiid turned around and was covered by Robin after getting Li Feng's pass!
Portis held the ball directly across the halfcourt, and then Dunn received the ball and made a layup to score points!
The camera panned to the players on the bench, and many of them were expressionless.
Their team results last season made them still doubt their team this season.
And at the beginning, the opponent beat a wave of 8:0! It also made their hearts shake again.
Li Feng didn't pass the ball this time, and in the face of Holiday defense, he finally let him foul, and Li Feng, who came to the free throw line, made 2 of 3 free throws!
The coaching staff and players of the pre-season team are not psychologically burdened, so it is relatively easy to play.
And the regular season is really here, and it will take some time for the Philadelphia 76ers to get used to it.
Or half a season is also possible.
Last season's Lakers team took a lot of time for the players to gradually regain their confidence.
Dunn dribbled quickly across the half, and the Bulls had the advantage at the start!
It seems that the other party still has no combat power, even if Li Feng can fight alone, but the whole team can't keep up and still lose!
Portis got his pass and went straight into the 76ers box!
But what he didn't expect was that Embiid directly slapped him with a bloody cap!
Li Feng directly picked up the basketball and dribbled to the front court, seeing that Simmons was closer to the basket than himself.
So the basketball passed, but Simmons made a straight three-shot.
Coach Brown's look of disappointment was on the big screen at this point.
