Chapter 240: The Preseason Begins

There are always good people, of course, sometimes the so-called good people are also your enemies, but they are willing to be your good people at this time.

Just when the Cavaliers executives were worried, the Lakers extended an olive branch to the Cavaliers and exchanged Bynum plus a second-round pick for Howard next year, which made the Cavaliers executives smile bitterly.

It is impossible for the Cavaliers to give up this guy Howard, one is that this guy has unlimited potential at this time, not to mention that Howard is the indispensable core of the Cavaliers at this time, Grant blocked him from the car, how could he exchange him.

The Cavaliers directly rejected the Lakers' kindness, and Howard was something they couldn't exchange, and they said the same.

Since there are many soldiers, let's stay at home for now, and on October 3, the Cavaliers will go straight to China with Grant and Scott, where they will play three games in Beijing, Shanghai, and Taiwan.

Also flying to China was a special plane in Miami, where there were also some tall players, who were the same as the Heat, and unlike the Cavaliers, their big three were all at their best at this time.

For these Chinese Cavaliers players, they are still full of infinite yearning, and the dozen or so people who have been on a few days have not been happy, and they are finally here again, how can they not be happy.

Last year, these three cities were also selected to play in the preseason, and today I heard again that it is these three cities, and these three cities are boiling, and there is nothing more refreshing than watching the NBA bulls play on the spot, and for the fans, this is happiness.

First of all, the Cavaliers have Huang Xiang, Iverson, Carter, Howard, O'Neal several tycoons, the most important, one of the core is Chinese, and this Chinese is also the core of the Cavaliers.

On the other hand, the results of the Heat this year, plus the Big Three, Wade, James, and Bosh, are also full of big heads, and no one doesn't like bulls.

For the battle between the two teams, everyone is full of expectations, two days before the first stop in Beijing, all the tickets were sold out, and the tickets were sold to 2,000 yuan a piece.

After arriving in Beijing, everyone first familiarized themselves with the venue, and only Howard of the Cavaliers played here, because the venue was the venue of the 08 Olympic Games, the Wukesong basketball court.

With 14,000 fixed seats and 4,000 temporary seats, Wukesong Basketball Court is undoubtedly the largest basketball stadium in China, no less than the NBA basketball arena, and it is also the venue for many major basketball events, including the annual preseason Beijing station.

Looking at the inside of the stadium, Huang Xiang smiled, this is his first time here, this is China's pride arena.

Picked up a basketball from the ground, ran a section and slammed it into the basket with a loud bang, even without a megaphone.

"It feels good." Huang Xiang said lightly.

"Of course, I know that here." Howard walked up to Huang Xiang and said with a smile.

"Yes, I know, your old man was once fanned by Sun Yue's big hat here." Huang Xiang looked at him with a smile, and he deeply remembered the bet of the American team at the beginning.

It is said that there is a bet within the U.S. team that whoever is blocked by Sun Yue will lose a dollar, because they know that Sun Yue is a very good outsider.

Who knows, in the game, Howard was slapped out by Sun Yue's big hat and became the first person to lose.

After listening to Huang Xiang's words, Howard's face changed significantly, and then pointed at Huang Xiang who didn't know what to say, this kid is really annoying.

"Hey, hey." Seeing that Howard had nothing to say, Huang Xiang laughed, and then laughed louder and louder.

Bastard, Howard looked at Huang Xiang's back and grinned, but finally gave up his plan to take revenge on this guy, and pointed at him to treat him to roast duck.

After trying the court, everyone was gathered together by Scott and asked where they wanted to play next, but when asked, Scott couldn't help but smile.

Great Wall? The crowd shook their heads and went; **? Shaking his head, I've been; Summer palace? I've been, the Temple of Heaven, I've been there......

A depressed Scott began to ask them, "So where do you want to go?"

Everyone replied in unison: Beijing Roast Duck Restaurant.

Scott was speechless, completely speechless, these guys, forget it, let's go taste it with them, the so-called Chinese Peking duck.

In this way, more than 20 people crowded the little Peking duck to the brim, and 99% of them were foreigners.

After tasting it, I realized why these guys were in such a hurry to do this, it was really delicious.

After eating, everyone returned to the hotel, and happened to meet the Cavaliers generals, James with a full beard, and Wade walking out together, these two people, do they also go to the roast duck restaurant?

"Hi LeBron, hi Dwyane." O'Neill and the two greeted each other, that is, he and Howard were more familiar with these two.

Seeing that the Cavaliers had just arrived at the hotel, they were obviously stunned, why did these people just come back?

"Hi Shaquinn, Dwyan, hello everyone, you just came back, where did you go?" Wade smiled and said to everyone.

"Huang took us to a big dinner, hehe, you can't enjoy this kind of treatment." Howard laughed, he was obviously a little lucky compared to the two in front of him, of course, referring to this preseason.

Wade and Howard were obviously stunned after hearing this, and then put their eyes on Huang Xiang, this guy is the outside core of the Cavaliers in two days, hehe, a good guy.

"Hello Huang, I know you, it's nice to meet you." Wade stretched out his hand to Huang Xiang, in China, he was going to use the Chinese handshake ceremony.

"Me too." Huang Xiang stretched out his hand excitedly, Wade was his idol, of course, the object of imitation.

"I'll see you when we play." James waved at Huang Xiang, and then walked off the court, but he didn't have too many words for the Cavaliers at this time.

The Cavaliers will also walk in the direction of the hotel elevator, and in the evening, they need to get a good rest for tomorrow's ...... Fight.

At 8 o'clock in the morning on October 5, there was still an hour before the start of the game, and the Beijing Wukesong Basketball Stadium was already full of people, and it was not the first time that the preseason in China was entered.

In the Cavaliers locker room, looking at the 12 players in front of him, Scott smiled again, I don't know how many times he looked at the generals in front of him in disbelief, this year's Cavaliers are destined to be extraordinary.

The day before the departure from the United States, the Cavaliers made a swap between Redick and the Hornets, and the Cavaliers, who had too many outside piles, certainly did not object to the deal, although they did not get the physical goods.

The Hornets traded a first-round pick and $200,000 for Redick next year, and Grant agreed to the deal, meaning the Cavaliers had only 13 players on the roster at this point.

There is no Sessions, this guy is also developing league training at this time, and although his strength is enough to handle the point guards of the average team, the Cavaliers still don't have any more slots.

"The significance of today's game is obvious, let's test how much strength everyone has, no change, we use speed to impact the opponent's lineup, come on boys." Squat looked at Huang Xiang and Howard and smiled, you two have to behave well for me.

At the beginning of the game, everyone screamed loudly as the Cavaliers entered the stadium, although many people like Wade James, but compared to the Cavaliers' stars, they still leaned to this side, and besides, Huang Xiang is Chinese.

Looking at the Chinese fans in the stadium, Huang Xiang waved at them happily, brothers, I, Huang Xiang is back again, of course, in exchange for the cheers of all the fans.

The players of the Heat team also walked into the court, shook hands with the two sides to show respect, and then began to warm up.

After the warm-up and the game begins, let's first get to know the lineups of both sides.

Cavaliers, point guard Iverson, shooting guard Huang Xiang, small forward Petrus, power forward Hixon, center Howard.

Scott didn't directly replace Jones and Williams, although both of them are good, but he came up directly against James and Bosh, and he was really a little relieved.

Heat lineup, point control Bibby, scoring guard Wade, small forward James, power forward Bosh, center Ilgocas.

The lineups on both sides are gorgeous, but judging from the current lineup, the Heat are a little stronger, because just looking at the lineup, the Cavaliers only have Howard and Iverson who will be stronger than their opponents, and the rest are all negative.

Of course, it's not that Huang Xiang has bad eyesight, but it's obviously unrealistic for a rookie to be directly comparable to a superstar.

At the beginning of the game, Big Z and Howard walked to the midfield position, and today's referees were all transferred from the United States, so neither side has to worry about favoritism.

The referee tossed the basketball high, and Howard easily dialed the basketball to Huang Xiang, who took the ball and handed it to Iverson, who slowly took the basketball across the court.

Iverson and Bibi used to deal with each other a lot, and both of them were top-level existences, but Iverson was more focused on scoring back then, and Iverson, who was dedicated to assisting, looked at Bibi in front of him and felt a lot more relaxed.

Fortunately, he is not the speed type of Paul, otherwise he would have suffered a loss. Iverson smiled, then took the ball straight to Bibby's left, Huang Xiang helped Iverson with a pick-and-roll, and Iverson flashed by.

After Bibby Iverson lifted the basketball high into the inside, Howard raised his big hand high, took the basketball and then turned around, raised his right hand, and threw the basketball in the direction of the basket.

"Huh" Howard hit with a blow, and the fluttering hook posture became more and more comfortable at this time, after all, his style is very similar to O'Neal, O'Neal will teach Howard something if he has nothing to do, a ready-made teacher, no need to use it in vain.

Seeing Iverson and Howard easily score two points, Spoelster frowned, it seems that Scott has picked up a treasure this year, why didn't he choose Iverson in the first place?

The Heat attacked, Bibby took the basketball across the half court, and then threw the basketball to Wade on the side, who leaned forward, then flashed on the left side, and quickly changed direction again to rush to the left side of Huang Xiang.

(Wonderful, get into real NBA time right away, and cheer on a lot.) )
