Duncan touched the bridge of his nose and said, "I heard that the supersonics' rookies selected this year are very good, averaging 11.7 points and 9.8 assists per game in eight preseason games. ”

"11.7 points? 9.8 assists? The assist stats are okay, but this is a preseason, everyone is not strict defensively, and the superSonics have so many goalscorers, so it is not unusual to win such statistics. "Parker doesn't think there's anything remarkable about that.

"If you knew he was averaging less than 20 minutes per game, you probably wouldn't think like that." "Also, he's averaging close to 30 points per game in the NCAA," Duncan said. ”

"What? 30 points per game? Parker was stunned, with a hint of doubt in his tone: "This is too scary, isn't it?" ”

"There is no doubt that he is this year's MOP."

"With such a strong scoring ability, why is it that the average score is only 11.7 points? But to be able to score that in less than twenty minutes is a lot of strength, even though it's only a pre-season game. ”

"I think it's because McMillan hasn't figured out how to use him yet, and maybe wants to develop this player in the direction of a traditional playmaker."

"What era is it, still so old-fashioned?" Parker pouted, he's not a pass-oriented playmaker himself, "But, Tim, I don't know of a rookie who is that good. ”

Tony Parker still doesn't believe it.

At this time, Bruce Bowen, who was sitting next to him, smiled: "Tony, you must not have paid attention to this year's draft in France this summer, there are several rookies like this year, one in Cleveland, one in Denver, and one in Seattle." ”

"So much?" Tony Parker froze.

He had just returned from France, and he had played a few preseason games in a hurry, and he spent his free time picking up girls, and he really didn't pay much attention to this year's rookies.

However, they played a game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, and in that game, LeBron James was defended and scored only 17 points, and the performance was not eye-catching.

But he was still blown away by LeBron James' physicality.

At this time, Ginobili on the side stretched and said: "Seattle's rookie is a Chinese, named Lu Fei, this year's NCAA best player, the second draft was selected by the Seattle SuperSonics, 190 cm tall, wide vision, very sharp passing, but currently does not show offensive firepower in the NCAA, I don't know if the coach is intentional or not adapted to the rhythm of the NBA game." ”

Duncan nodded, having a guy like Manu on the team is always reassuring.

Parker scratched his head and didn't take it to heart, for him to play so many games in a year, as long as it's not the time to fight in the playoffs, there is no need to desperately remember the characteristics of each team's guards, and wait until they can make the playoffs.

The bus made a sound of brakes and stopped at the hotel, not far from the Key Arena.

The next afternoon.

As soon as they stepped into the Key Arena, they found that it was completely different from last season's away game, where the superSonics team attendance was not high, but this season even the preseason games were full, and the stadium that can accommodate more than 10,000 people can hardly find empty places.

Many overseas Chinese also appeared in the stadium, and they all felt very proud after watching Lu Fei's game.

Whenever there are Americans around who ask if they are Lu Fei's countrymen, they will always proudly answer: "Of course, we are all Chinese like Lu Fei." ”

The Seattle SuperSonics became the most popular team among Chinese fans in the NBA for a while.

Even more than Houston.

The reason is simple, Seattle has more Chinese, and Lu Fei's style of play is a little better than that of the center.

Both teams are warming up.

Lu Fei practiced shooting seriously, and his eyes occasionally swept over the Spurs wearing silver and black jerseys not far away, and there was always a faint emotion in his heart.

At this time, Tony Parker is still such a stinky fart, he shouldn't know Eva at this time, and his body is obviously not so weak.

Mano is still the most serious one in the warm-up, his shooting is still so inconsistent, he is always used to smashing the front of the basket, but if you underestimate him because of this, he will stab you with a shot at any time during the game.

The most boring thing is Duncan, he has nothing to shoot and shoot, after a few consecutive non-scores, he simply plays the board, the basketball obediently falls into the basket, and then he is idle for a while, and when Manu shoots, he will sneak up on Manu's hair.

Manu was tired.

"Hey, Tim, is that Lu Fei you talking about the No. 10 shooting over there?" Parker walked up to Duncan and asked, "He seems to be very popular, you can see his jersey all over the sidelines." ”

Duncan's eyes widened as he looked at him, "You weren't there when you watched the video yesterday?" ”

After getting off the bus yesterday, they watched the video of the SuperSonics in the hotel.

"Shh Tony Parker hurriedly made a silent gesture, "I've been talking on the phone with my girlfriend until late every day these days, I'm so sleepy, I sat in the back and fell asleep yesterday." ”

"It's good that Greg wasn't there yesterday, otherwise you'd have died." Duncan gave him a blank look: "That No. 10 is the yellow-skinned and black-haired one, and it is this year's No. 2 rookie Lu Fei...... He's playing playmaking right now, and it's probably you defending him. ”

"Yes, yes, can I still be afraid of him?" Parker shrugged his shoulders.

The game was about to start and all the players were resting to wait for the start of the ceremony.

The lights dimmed, and the live commentary began to introduce the starters.

The Spurs starting lineup is:

Playmaking guard: No. 9, Tony Parker.

Shooting guard: No. 12, Bruce Bowen

Small forward: No. 15, Siddo Turkoglou

Power forward: No. 21, Tim Duncan

Center: No. 8, Rasu Nestrovic

Since Admiral David Robinson announced his retirement last season, the Spurs have been played by Nesterovic at center.

Duncan is reluctant to play center anyway.

And the starting lineup of the supersonic is still the following:

Organizational defender: Lu Fei

Shooting guard: Ray Allen

Small forward: Radmanovic

Power forward: Lewis

Center: Oku

The two sides jumped the ball, and the game officially began.

Oku's jump ball easily won Nesterovic and dialed the ball to Lu Fei, Nesterovic has a height of 213 cm, but the jumping ability is really miserable, and Duncan has always advertised himself as a center, and the team's jump ball has always been David Robinson, and after Robinson retired, Nesterovic naturally replaced the jump ball, what does it have to do with him as a big forward.

It was Tony Parker who defended Lu Fei.

Greg Popovich just wants to use Parker's quick foot movements to defend Lu Fei, after all, using Bowen to defend Lu Fei is a bit of a killing chicken with a knife, and the position is not right.

"Hey, young man, are you Lu Fei?"

"Pretty handsome, huh? Do you have a girlfriend? Do you need to introduce one for you? “

"You're not going to be a chick, are you? Haha, is it okay for my brother to treat me at night? ”

"Let's talk, otherwise it will be boring to play."

Lu Fei slowly raised his head, looking at the familiar face in front of him, the corners of his mouth hooked up a hint of curvature, it was really a beautiful thing to be able to see an old friend again.

Hello, Tony Talker Parker.
