The first race of the 2002-2003 season has finally begun.

The league handed over the opening game to the Lakers and the Spurs, in this first game, it was a pity that O'Neal was absent due to injury, but it was so that the Lakers still resisted stubbornly for a long time under the leadership of Kobe Bryant, until the final winner was decided, Kobe Bryant cut 27 + 10 + 5 data in this game, in the days when O'Neal was not there, he seemed to want to play himself as a center. On the other side, Mo Xi dared to swear that Popovich's old man was definitely not at ease, only two people in the Spurs had more than 30 minutes of playing time, one was Bruce Bowen and the other was Duncan, and the Spurs twin towers played tepidly, saying that they did not play well, but they still cut 27 points, 20 rebounds and 7 blocks efficiently, but Mo Xi saw it clearly, these two people definitely didn't exert much effort, and they were serious.

There was also a matchup between the two super scorers Iverson and Maddy, but surprisingly, Iverson had a terrible hand in this game, only scoring 18 points, while Maddy scored 31 points on the opposite side, and this also high-profile opener was as anticlimactic as the Spurs and Lakers.

And the last game of the day came from the Kings and the Cavaliers, and this game lived up to expectations, the Kings beat the Cavaliers by 27 points with their powerful offensive system, although in fact the game was not as good as people expected, and the stars of the house showed inaction, and the Kings disintegrated a strong wholeness, uh, fish belly?

The three games of the new season did not have the effect that Stern had expected, and he had to turn his attention to his home door, where the Knicks will take on the Pistons, and although the Knicks were unable to award a championship ring because they were on the road, it was clear that just one game of the championship was enough to attract attention.

The next day, the game between the Knicks and the Pistons was directly scheduled for live broadcast in the United States.

No one is optimistic about the Pistons, even if the current Pistons are just a few steps away from their perfect grassroots lineup. The coach of the Pistons is still Rick Carlisle, at this time he is a fledgling rookie coach, although the tactical layout ability is good enough, but obviously he still does not have the ability to become a head coach, mainly because it is difficult for him to deal with the relationship with the players, not to mention now, even in the future.

But the Pistons are always the Pistons, and the depravity of Motor City has even tainted the temper of the city with the Pistons, they are the rotten people on the streets, and the New York Knicks, hehe.

There were some pertinent highlights in this game, with Houston and Hamilton battling between the two running shooters, as well as the best defender in the center, who was the most offensive representative of the center, and Ben, the representative of the best defender in the center at the moment.

The game officially began, Mo Xi strongly suppressed Big Ben and pointed the ball down, and the Knicks won the ball.

The most striking feature of the Knicks' replacement of the starting point guard is that the Knicks' propulsion speed has changed from a bicycle directly jumping over a motorcycle to an 86-year-old muscle car.

Arenas went on a rampage, but it just so happened that Billups also belonged to the kind of No. 1 player with very strong upper body strength, and now Arenas, who was just in his second season, couldn't compete with Billups at all, and was pushed by Billups, Arenas had to restrain himself, protect the ball first, and then make plans.

The Knicks stopped the ball, which was an opportunity for the Pistons' defensive intensity, but this Knicks had a crucial improvement over the previous version, they were more mobile, and even the worst of them all, Brand, was not the kind of slow European heavy tank.

Sprewell quickly stepped forward to respond, and before the Pistons were completely in position, Sprewell made a half-step rush and then made a sharp stop, ripped open space, and passed the ball to Mo Xi, who was just stuck in position.

Mo Xi compared to the average black man, or compared to O'Neal, the dynamic power is undoubtedly slightly inferior, but the static power is so strong, in the face of the big Ben, Mo Xi has the advantage of being one step ahead, naturally he will not let him slip away in vain, after Mo Xi catches the ball with one hand, he directly resists Big Ben with a chic turn, and cuts into the basket from the internal test.

Big Ben as a defensive center is most criticized for his height, less than two meters tall makes him a little embarrassed in some situations, the peak Big Ben can prevent O'Neal because he stuck him when O'Neal took the first step, otherwise, once O'Neal rushes up, Big Ben will even lose the ability to interfere because of his lack of height. (So, Duncan is really the best defensive O'Neal this season)

And right now, Big Ben has encountered such an embarrassing situation, Mo Xi grabbed the position in advance, without too much entanglement, resisted Big Ben, did not let the other party press, and directly turned around to attack the basket.

Big Ben jumped from the side to make up for the defense, but Mo Xi directly changed hands and scored a cricket goal, making a defensive foul on Big Ben.

On the first offense of the game, the core of their own defense was fouled, which is not a good sign.

The Pistons were not mistaken, unlike yesterday's three games, the new New York Knicks, their tactics were simple and rough, giving the ball to the inside.

At this time, Ben's defensive ability is already extremely strong, but now he has to face Mo Xi, who was the super center who killed all sides in the finals last season. Moxi has managed to carry his form into the new season.

And even more terrible things followed, Big Ben's difficult restrictions on memo, which means that the Pistons' big Ben defense system has lost its due role, in this regard, the Pistons are very similar to the Knicks last season, both rely on an interior to help defend the ability, the difference is that Big Ben is more important than Thomas relative to the team.

And the effect of this was that Alan Houston was liberated.

The two mid-range shooting masters who caught the ball and threw them were like classical elegant swordsmen, fluttering and drifting away, inadvertently leaving that bloody mark on the opponent's throat, but it was obvious that the Pistons, who had no offensive ability under the basket, could not contain the Knicks' interior defense, Hamilton was like a dancer on a tightrope, constantly looking for his own living space, and Houston, between heaven and earth is his stage.

Although the Knicks' new lineup still has some run-in problems, but because of the excellent play of Mo Xi and Houston, the Pistons still swallowed the first loss of the season with a depressed face, and the Knicks won the game that should have been a defensive battle with a score of 101:92.

Mo Xi was more of a playmaker in this game, scoring 26 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 block, but there were also 3 turnovers, and the most dazzling thing in this game was undoubtedly Alan Houston, who scored 30 points, as for the rest of the Knicks, Arenas only got 9 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists under the restriction of Billups, Sprewell scored 12 points in his normal performance, and Brand, who made his first appearance in the Knicks, did not disappoint, neatly scored 16 points and 12 rebounds, The Knicks scored 93 points in the starting lineup, and Kukoc was the only one in the bench lineup to score, and the pre-game concerns about the bench were revealed.

To the Knicks' dismay, they couldn't get back to New York to get their rings, and they had to go to Philadelphia next, and the Knicks were angry and began preparing to slaughter at the beginning of the season.
