394. The little thing before the opening war (10,000 words today, ask for a monthly pass!) )

How many of our brothers are really younger brothers?

Liu Mang, Raheem, and Jason Terry looked at their preseason statistics, and the three of them combined only averaged 19 points per game, less than half of the big dogs!

Raheem averaged 7.3 points per game, Jason Terry averaged 6.4 points per game, and Liu Mang averaged just one three-pointer plus one layup per game.

"Jason, Sharif, are we really the little brothers?" Why did Liu Mang feel so unhappy.

Sure enough, whether you have been a fan or not, whether you know that you should reduce the ball when you have a teammate who plays superbly, and put the team first, but you should still be unhappy.

"If I can win, I'm fine." Raheem is quite open-minded.

Just like a player who joined a 73-win team, after losing enough, Raheem didn't pay much attention to stats and everything, and he didn't want to play in the NBA so much, but now he can win.

Jason Terry also said: "Maybe it's like Glenn said, he just didn't meet good teammates, and with good teammates he can still play well."

Raheem nodded in agreement.

Jason Terry and Raheem also don't know if they're exaggerating the dog or praising themselves for being good teammates.

Raheem is losing a lot and is now conscious, Jason Terry is a wave but wants to win more, and the character of these two Liu Mang is the same whether it is the impression of the past or the impression of more contact in the past year.

Raheem would have fallen if he hadn't appeared on his own, and Jason Terry was a life winner, and the championship had money and data and relied on 20 years of accumulation.

These two are really the ones who can win and are willing to play even as substitutes!

Liu Mang thinks about it or let's take a look first, he always feels that this big dog is not a trouble-free master, he has a little impression that it is inevitable that the Eagles will trade to get a big dog, because the boss is a stingy and stingy person who likes to pick up cheap, and he can get it back with almost no cost, and he will get it decisively.

But the big dog's mutual injury incident will definitely not change because of whether he came to this world or not, the only thing Liu Mang is not sure about is that the big dog is motivated because the eagles scored the Eastern Finals last season, or he was originally like this, after all, this is the beginning of the century, digging news or anything is not as powerful as in later generations, this kind of thing Liu Mang really doesn't know.

But what if, what if, Mr. Panda, is really going up this year because the Hawks didn't just finish fourth last season, but first in the East last season?

Liu Mang thinks this is a good thing, the new season has decided that at least 60% of the games will be played as a substitute, so the data is relatively unimportant, the important thing is to kill Kidd in the playoffs!

That's it...... Gifted skills!

Liu Mang really hopes now, more than the fans, that Glenn Robinson will really play like a boss!

Compared with Liu Mang's impression that the Eagles collapsed directly because of a big dog, Jason Terry was more optimistic at this time: "Ace, tomorrow when you play the Spurs, let the world see the new strength of our five-headed eagles!" ”

"Five-headed eagles? What's that? Liu Mang asked in astonishment.

"Five-headed eagle! We have five All-Stars from the 21st century, and Sports Illustrated has nicknamed us the Five Eagles! "Jason Terry seems proud of the team with a new nickname.

In the past, they were all three young and three eagles, but now they have heads!

"You Americans have enough nicknames!" Liu Mang thought of the three wolf monsters of the forest wolf, and when he arrived in China, he directly became a three-headed monster, and these five eagles arrived in China...... Liu Mang didn't dare to think about it!

……

On November 2, 2002, after half a year, the new season of the Eagles finally officially began!

Since the opening game of the favorite team will be broadcast live in the United States, the Eagles' opening game was scheduled for November 2, the third day of the game.

In the opening game, after Liu Mang's tactical practice in the afternoon, he took Levia, who was very interested in the opening game, and Dinah and Alexia, who had just finished school and held season tickets from the team, to Phillips Arena.

The conductor of the Phillips Arena is not easy, thanks to their memory that Liu Mang occasionally brought two people, occasionally three people to watch the game, and kept all the tickets for the three positions in the center of the tenth row behind the technical table in the form of season tickets, otherwise there would really be no tickets for this position.

The Eagles also left the front row of tickets to give away, and the position of the ten or so rows was not up or down, and Liu Mang would ask for it, and other players brought relatives and friends to watch the game, which was 100% in the first row.

Looking at the excited landlord mother and daughter, Liu Mang asked, "Why are you so high?" ”

"Hey? Does it mean to be happy? This description is really interesting, just like your Chinese, many words are so interesting! Levia replied, "Of course it's going to be hi!" Our team is so strong this year! It must be no problem to take out the spurs! ”

"That's right, that's right, kill the spurs! That poker face is so damning! Every time, he pressed the uncle to the ground. Dinah said she hated poker faces.

"......" Liu Mang seems to have sent Dina home, can you give some face! Don't talk about such a shameful thing!

……

The Eagles' game was put on the list of favorites for the opening game, which was specially arranged by the league, and the first game of the opening game began on October 31, with four to six games a day, and the first three days were played.

The Kings, the Lakers, and the Hawks are the three hottest teams in the league now, and they must be arranged separately, the Kings killed the Lakers with about 10 free throws last season, and everyone thinks that they are likely to become the strongest team this year, the core lineup is retained, and there is the hatred of losing the championship last season, plus the Lakers may enter the championship fatigue period after three consecutive championships, although the Kings are only ranked second in the major power lists, but the odds of the casino are the highest in the league.

Although the Lakers have many people who are worried that they will commit aristocratic diseases again and play lazily after winning the championship, they are the strongest team in the past three years after all, and they are still regarded as the championship favorites.

The Hawks did not trade out any of the team's core structure and added an all-star player for nothing, the five all-star combinations, and are regarded as the third favorite to win the championship, and there is Liu Mang, who must be the favorite.

In order to avoid the possibility of overtime or something that would lead to a game time conflict and affect the live ratings, the Eagles were scheduled for the third game day, which is October 2.

The first game day was a shock to the people, and the Kings were beaten by 25 points at home by the Spurs, who slaughtered the Kings 110-85.

On the second game day, the Lakers presented championship rings at home and faced the Dallas Mavericks by the way, and the two teams played well.

This game made the domestic fans who have slowly faded the criticism of Wang Zhizhi's "treason" incident so excited, and playing with O'Neal is really a perfect opportunity for passers-by.

The Lakers' big forward during the OK period was really miserable, Horry and Samaki Walker often played the position of power forward, this season the Lakers finally had a player with a serious power forward, and it may be to please Chinese fans, anyway, no matter who starts the big forward, Wang Zhizhi got the first chance to start in the NBA for the first time in his career.

Of course, the pseudo-starter is, Wang Zhizhi played a total of 18 minutes, got several opportunities to completely empty in the two bottom corners, shot 4 of 7 in the game, including 3 of 5 three-pointers, the Lakers made their debut with 11 points and 5 rebounds, and there was a drop ball to O'Neal's empty catch, which made the excited start really Ao Fat spoof Wang Zhizhi once, and gave Wang Zhizhi a fragrant kiss on his face......

Speaking of Wang Zhizhi, if he is happy, he is still quite lively.

O'Neal said after the game: "BIG-BY is his favorite Chinese basketball player.

Wang Zhizhi said: I like the nickname Ace gave me very much, O'Neill is a good person, but I already have a wife.

Wang Zhizhi gave O'Neill a good guy card......

With such a harmonious integration into the new team, Wang Zhizhi's career can be regarded as a good second start.

Partnered with the peak O'Neal, in addition to the little blacksmith who can play iron wantonly, the big forward is actually the most benefited, O'Neal doesn't grab too many rebounds, and the rebounding king has nothing to do with him, but the Lakers have been the top three teams in the league in rebounding over the years, O'Neal is super strong, standing there no one else can push, more than 30 Horry can grab a career-high rebounding data by his side, Samaki Walker's most exciting 15 points and 20 rebounds performance in his career, It was also partnered with O'Neal to get it.

Although Wang Zhizhi didn't say that he had the hope of becoming a star or anything, but partnering with O'Neal, with countless vacancies, in the two years before the collapse of OK, he seized the opportunity to become a regular rotation in the NBA, which has a mature training system and confrontation with the world's highest level opponents, it is estimated that it is not a big problem to become a regular rotation in the NBA!

Everyone is saying that Wang Zhizhi rejected the Clippers' two-year 5 million contract and joined the Lakers with a base salary of 2.4 million for two years is a very wise choice, because Wang Zhizhi is not short of money, his wife is the daughter of a high-ranking military official, and his wife is also a real estate developer in the Liaodong Peninsula, basketball is really a love for Wang Zhizhi.

After the Lakers and Kings opened games, the third game day arrived, and the Spurs appeared again, opening the second game of a four-game straight with the Hawks hosting.

Speaking of the Spurs' schedule is always born by the stepmother, the beginning is 7 days and 4 games, there is no schedule for the top five popular teams in the power list at all, the opening game of the two strong teams is to play them, as for the reason why the schedule is so arranged, it is because the number of teams in the league is an odd number, that is, the opening game is played three days ago, no matter what, there is a team that must play two games, this kind of "good thing" in the Spurs killer era, they must be burdened, and when the Pistons reach the era of killers who are more than the Spurs, people are lucky, There are 30 teams in the NBA.

But think about it from a new angle, the Spurs have earned! The two games in a row were broadcast live from all over the United States plus live from Celestial Vision!

Things seem to be developing in a good direction, Liu Mang feels that the new season seems to be quite good, Glenn Robinson's preseason performance has also won the respect of his teammates, the attitude of being an arrow stormtrooper with indomitable progress, although the ball is concentrated a little, but Liu Mang is also a ball bully, so it is not bad, just to say that the technology that can be inside and out, and the top physical fitness and talent, it is still at the peak of the combination of technology and body at the age of 29, regardless of ball quotient and playing style, the hard power is stronger than Liu Mang.

Liu Mang feels that the new season is still very promising, and he is more hopeful than last season, looking forward to the progress of the new season and resisting the Nets to kill the Spurs, mainly because there is one more uncertainty!

When Liu Mang was warming up in the locker room, he saw Glenn Robinson asking Boozer to help him clean his shoes for a while to wear them, and saw Boozer farts to shine his shoes, Liu Mang felt that the rookie was really pitiful, fortunately, the master was in the second grade, and he had not been called in his rookie year.

However, Liu Mang and Glenn Robinson still did not speak in private, Glenn Robinson didn't seem to be much of Liu Mang, and Liu Mang maliciously speculated that it might be because of his own ...... Rookie of the Year?

He averaged 21.9 points and 6.4 rebounds per game in his rookie season and failed to win the Rookie of the Year award, and after 1976, he could count them on one hand.

Liu Mang didn't care, he came to the bathroom after physiotherapy and took out the task dice, he hadn't drawn daily tasks for a long time.

However, seeing that the 12 sides are all level 5 tasks, Liu Mang is full of black lines.

"System Boss, do you need to roll the dice? Wouldn't you just tell me what the task is? Liu Mang complained.

"Ding...... The host receives a level 5 daily mission: Defeat the Spurs. Due to the huge difficulty, it is upgraded to a special mission, and the task reward: the player-exclusive trait is absolutely calm. Defeat Penalty: The next time he played against the Spurs, he kept smirking at the referee until he laughed until he was sent off the court with two technical fouls. ”

"Watts?"

……

Liu Mang suddenly felt that the pressure to win the championship this year seemed to be extremely great!

It's so difficult to win a Spurs that it directly rewards Duncan's character!

Liu Mang has been focusing on how to beat the Nets, forgetting that the real big boss is the Spurs!

This team was basically the first regular superboss team in the West when Duncan was at its peak.

Duncan's abusive attributes are estimated to have reached their peak, and those who are weaker than his team are all vegetables in the eyes of his team.

Liu Mang patted his head, what a big deal! Originally, there are many monsters in the NBA, so there is no need to coax yourself, how to fight!

Liu Mang came to the court, ESPN broadcast the game live today, and Liu Mang was invited to give a pre-match interview.

There is an unwritten unspoken rule in the NBA, that is, if you have a good relationship with the Lakers, Sports Illustrated generally has a friendly relationship, and if you have a bad relationship with the Lakers, ESPN will praise it, whether the relationship is good or bad, whether it is really good or bad, or whether fans and public opinion think it is good or bad, it is all business.

Originally, Liu Mang didn't like to be interviewed so much, because the recent interviews have asked him how he has made so much money, and after NBA players began to make a lot of money, there is a saying that NBA players make too much, and do they still have the heart to play or something.

However, ESPN seems to understand Liu Mang's preferences and sent a big-breasted reporter.

That's right, it's the beautiful reporter Miss Stark who cheated Liu Mang.

Liu Mang saw a reporter with a hot body and a good look that Chinese liked, and he expressed his deep hatred for ESPN's practice of using beauty to trick himself!

Then Liu Mang went to be interviewed.

Seeing that Liu Mang was finally willing to be interviewed, the beautiful Stark shook her figure, feeling that she was in good shape, and asked, "Ace, are you sure of winning today's game?" ”

When Liu Mang heard this question, he thought of the task punishment of that pit father's upgrade to a special mission, and replied firmly: "Of course, we were originally very strong, and we also won against them last year, this year we have improved, and we will be stronger, and there is also Mr. Panda to join, Mr. Panda has been in good form recently, we will definitely win!" ”

"Panda?" Stark was curious, Liu Mang would say that he was confident of winning, that was for sure, no one would say before the game that we were going to lose, Stark was curious: "Ace, is this a new nickname that you think of again?" Is it a new nickname for Glenn Robinson? ”

Rotten! Liu Mang accidentally slipped his mouth and said the nickname of his private joke about Glenn Robinson's mutual injury.

Bears, cats, bears......

Fortunately, Americans definitely don't understand what hats mean, and probably won't know what the bears in the mouths of Chinese mean, Liu Mang quickly calmed down: "That's right, Glenn's performance in the preseason is like a panda in our country, too rare, and it is the best and most valuable reinforcement for us in the offseason!" ”
