The NBA opener of the 16-17 season has officially come to an end, and the three games scheduled on the first day have undoubtedly satisfied the appetite of fans, and there are many surprises.

The San Antonio Spurs defeated the Golden State Warriors by a huge margin of 126-100, which was undoubtedly a big surprise.

It is generally believed that the Warriors, who have Curry, Thompson and Durant at the same time, will be unassailable this season. They may even break the record of 73 wins in the regular season. But people didn't expect that the Warriors would be bloodied by the Spurs as soon as they came up.

In this game, Leonard and Aldridge, two silent people, combined to score 61 points. Curry and Durant combined for just 53 points. The Spurs and the wise Popovich have undoubtedly shown the world that the "Cosmic Warriors" can be beaten too.

In the other game, the Cleveland Cavaliers abused the New York Knicks to the fullest. The Knicks, who have four players including Noah, Rose, Anthony and Porzingis, didn't play as expected.

None of the four scored above 20, with Anthony, the top scorer, scoring just 19. Noah only had two shots in the whole game, did not score a point, and swallowed eggs all over the court.

On the other hand, the Cavaliers, James, Irving and Love all scored 20, and their system and cooperation are undoubtedly more mature.

James personally cut a big triple-double of 20 points, 14 assists and 12 rebounds, and this guy won the Knicks while playing while recuperating. The so-called name of the upstart in the East, the Knicks seem to be a little unqualified. It seems that the dominance of the knights in the east is still solid.

Of course, regardless of the outcome of these two games, the journalists have a lot to dig into. However, the opening game of the Pacers vs Bulls was extremely embarrassing for reporters.

The Pacers, who were deemed unwinnable, easily took out the Bulls at home, with Antetokounmpo being the eyelier. But for the victory of this match, the journalists have nothing to write about except the process of the game.

Because in the post-game interview, they didn't ask anything from Henson's mouth at all.

And the paragraph that Henson scolded them, the reporters themselves were embarrassed to write on the news. As a result, the reporters couldn't write anything about the game, which was originally the most topical game. If they can't write something, their higher-level editors will lose their temper again.

Being angry with Henson in the stadium and going back to be angry with his boss, can this group of reporters not be embarrassed?

However, it is precisely because of this lack of information that fans are more curious about the Pacers. So, in just one game, Henson gave the Pacers an unparalleled appeal.

So. In the second game of the regular season this season, the Mavericks played the Pacers 24 hours before the start of the game, and all tickets for this game were sold out.

Compared with the Chicago Bulls, who are aiming to compete with the Cavaliers, the Mavericks this season are obviously much less interesting. Although they have only just signed former Warriors player Harrison. Barnes is the new nucleus, but everyone is confident that the Mavericks won't be too competitive this season.

Therefore, the Mavericks vs Pacers game will not be too intense in the expectations of fans.

But even so, tickets for this game are still hard to come by. People just want to watch the Pacers and don't care who their opponents are. This shows how great the charm of the Pacers is now.

And the process and result of this game did not disappoint Pacers fans.

Although Delong. Williams returned to the glory and cut down 25 points and 7 assists, which is quite a bit of the momentum of "eating and sleeping and playing Paul" back then. Although Dirk also has 22 points on the account, it means that he is still one of the best No. 4 spots in the league.

But the two veterans joined forces too late, and if it had been five or six years ago, no one would have dared to imagine what Dirk + Delon would have achieved. But now, they don't have such a powerful killing power.

In this game, Antetokounmpo continued to go berserk, cutting down 30 points and 16 rebounds! At Dirk's head, Antetokounmpo is completely insane. After all, this Dirk now is almost negligible in terms of movement and bounce.

Paul. George also showed a little bit of strength today, with 25 points, 6 assists and 8 rebounds, reminding everyone that he is also one of the top names of the Pacers.

Chris. Paul's performance was also commendable, with 20 points, 7 assists, 7 rebounds and 3 steals, and his matchup with Delon was a classic.

In addition to them, Brooke. Lopez's 19 points and Oladipo's 11 points undoubtedly made the Mavericks even worse.

After the game, the championship coach Rick . Carlisle admitted: "The Pacers have too many attack points, and when we defend one, the other will immediately step up and continue the firepower." I think the Indiana Pacers are the most underrated team this season. ”

130 to 119, even in the small-ball era, the Pacers' scoring in this game was frighteningly high. If the last game Henson just showed Antetokounmpo's scoring ability, today, Henson undoubtedly showed the overall scoring ability of the Pacers team.

scored 130 points in 48 minutes, and with such offensive firepower, he should always be able to compete with the Warriors.

After the game, Henson finally answered the reporters' questions. Because it can be clearly felt, the reporters' tone and attitude towards Henson are much better today.

It seems that they have finally learned how to respect people. Coach Henson's "education" really had an immediate effect.

※※※

Just like Bird back then, after today's game, Henson met Silas, who had just returned from scouting for rookies. And six years ago, it was Bird who met himself who came back from scouting the rookie.

Henson originally wanted to hear Silas finish the scouting report before leaving, but thinking that it was too early and it was time to go home to see his daughter and wife, Henson decided to ask Silas to make a detailed scouting report the next day.

So now, Silas only needs to give Henson a brief overview of what he learned from the trip, and that's almost the end of it.

"I'm not going to talk about the well-known talents, and we won't be able to pick them next season anyway. After all, we're definitely going to make the playoffs. So, I've picked a few names that we might be able to pick up. ”

"Let's get started, Stephen."

"First of all, it was at the University of Louisville that Donovan. Mitchell, he's a physical sophomore guard with great scoring ability and a very hard defensive effort. His style of play is a bit like Oladipo's, but his scoring ability is much more intense. ”

"Kentucky center Bam. Adebayo is also not to be underestimated, with his physicality and reach among the top rookies in his class. It is perfect for being a high-end blue-collar worker. ”

"Oh, by the way, and this year's British youngster from Indiana University, O. Anunoby. He's a super athlete who can run and jump. Outstanding rebounding ability and extremely tough defense. It's just that because the positioning is not clear, there are some 'not three or four', so the prediction is not high. You know, since Anthony. After Bennett, teams in the NBA don't like 'three-and-four' players very much. But unlike Bam Adebayo, he can shoot and even shoot threes. If it were you, I'm sure you would be able to find the right place for him. ”

"And ......."

Henson listened silently to Stephen. Silas reported while jotting down the names that were worth noting. Henson knows very well how important the draft is to a team, so even if the Pacers are not a bad team, he is very interested in the draft.

Silas told Henson about seven or eight names, and this time the simple scouting report was finally over. Tomorrow, Silas and Henson will have to have a detailed discussion about these young men.

"Thank you for your efforts, Stephen. It's been a hard work, so let's go home and rest tonight. Tomorrow between trainings, we'll talk about the rookies. Henson nodded and praised Silas for his work.

"That's what I remodeled, Henson. It's like winning is what you have to do. So, I'll go first, and you drive carefully. ”

After saying goodbye to Henson, Silas turned to leave. But after taking two steps, he turned around again and called out to Henson, "Henson, in this round of rookie scouting, I found one thing...... I don't know if it's worth noting. ”

"Oh? What's up? Henson also stopped, and turned his head curiously to ask.

"When I was at the University of Utah, I discovered scouts for the Lakers. And, for the second year in a row, I've found them gathered there. I think the University of Utah probably has something they care about in particular, but don't want others to find out about the players. ”

"Lakers scouts?" Henson touched his chin, "Interesting! ”

It's no secret that the Lakers have been rebuilding since Kobe Bryant's Achilles tendon rupture. And in order to be able to rebuild quickly, the Lakers have high requirements for rookies.

And it turns out that rookies such as Clarkson and Randle, who are not particularly high-picked, have performed very well. If it is an ordinary player, he will definitely not be able to enter the eyes of the Lakers. So it's certainly not for nothing that they've gathered at the University of Utah for two years in a row.

There must be a young man with outstanding ability but not well known who has attracted the attention of the Lakers!

"Who are they focusing on?" Henson asked with interest, he liked robbery the most! If there really is "meat", Henson doesn't want to watch the Lakers eat alone.

"From what I've investigated, it seems that the one who makes them care so much is a guy named Kyle. Kuzma's No.4 player. He's a junior this year and he's an older rookie. I don't know much about the rest. ”

"Kyle. Kuzma? It's a pretty catchy name. If I have time, I'll fly with you to Salt Lake City and see what the hell the Lakers are up to. You've intercepted your messages beautifully, Silas. ”

Henson smiled slightly, Robin Hood, who specializes in robbing the rich and wealthy, is about to strike again.
