Chapter 398: Preseason meets the favorites to win the championship in the East

After the Green Shirts lost to the Chicago Bulls in the first round last season, the team was somewhat affected. They weren't even eliminated before they even had a chance to play the Cavaliers or the Heat......

Every team has a certain amount of patience with their own players every year, and the more bad the team, the safer it is for the main players to come to the team. Every season has a more or less reshuffling step.

Player A can't be used, although he is very good, but the team just can't make the playoffs. Then next season, try to change to player B, who also has a good reputation. This season, the Green Shirts have their sights set on Mime.

Meme, when he first came to the NBA, was a blue-collar backup center for the Cleveland Cavaliers, and his record was basically stable. Three seasons later, he was traded to Boston and then to the Lakers, where he played a role as a backup center or backup striker.

He seems to have an obvious ceiling on the field! But in the few years with the Lakers, it seems that something has changed! The characteristics of Mime's individual style of play have changed dramatically!

Some people leaked on the Internet that this was because he and Zhou Yang had been together and their abilities had been "edified". There is such an argument that you have been friends with big fat people, and gradually you will also get fat.

Zhou Yang's personal style of play has no routine, he is fast and good at organizing and can attack by himself! His Grizzlies team is a great proof of that! Although there are players like Guy and Miller in the team, who can guarantee that other players will not be affected by Zhou Yang?

The long break has made the players on the Rockets' side feel like they're going to rust. And Yao Ming now feels like he's about to grow hair in bed...... It's been too long without a game and it's already itching for the players.

Zhou Yang only learned when he first came to Boston that Mime had joined the Green Shirts at a high-profile price of $7.72 million a year! It seems that the team expects a lot from him! In media interviews, Meme also revealed that this is likely to be the last year of his NBA career.

When the reporter asked why he didn't go to the Rockets with Zhou Yang, Mime also smiled helplessly, saying that it was because of the salary problem of the Rockets that it did not pass. He didn't say he wanted to retire before this season.

With less than $1 million and a salary of more than $7 million a year, the latter is still too tempting for Mime! This is in line with the idea that he wants to retire this season, and he has earned another $7.72 million this year!

Judging by his age, as long as he retires from the NBA, it is rare to have an annual salary of more than one million. And the Celtics aren't joking. This is the favourite to win the tournament right now!

"Jordan Hill, Dragic, Carroll. You guys have to show a little bit more in the game. I'll be blunt, the team is staring at you right now, and it's possible that they will change your contract in the next month or two. Cancel the original contract, because your non-guaranteed contract can be revoked by the management at any time. And if you sign a guaranteed contract for a year, the salary may be lower...... But not so much that you will be sent off or cut by the team."

That's a big opportunity for them! And it was the head coach who told them personally, it should be accurate!

Because Zhou Yang came to Team Rocket. The Rockets increased all ticket prices by 20% for the first game of the preseason today, and even then more than 86% of tickets were sold! Compared with last season's average preseason ticket sales of less than 40% per game, the Rockets have earned this wave!

There are Rockets fans, Scola fans, Zhou Yang fans and Yao Ming fans here today! There are fewer fans like Martin, Lowry, and Battier. It's rare for a preseason game to attract so many spectators!

Moreover, the Celtics' big three and Zhou Yang's best partner in recent years, Mime, who has recently caused heated discussions on the Internet, have added a lot of heat to the atmosphere of the scene! Hehe, the MVP player of last season's Finals that the Rockets spent a lot of effort to poach, naturally requires him to play every preseason game.

"Lowry, remember to pass the ball to the players on the inside line, Batum will pass the ball straight over when he has the opportunity......" Adelman doesn't think there's any need to play too much right now. Pre-season is all about how the players are playing.

It didn't take long for players from both sides to take on the pitch. The camera is given to the Rocket boss in the audience! The fans at the scene suddenly came up! Today's Rockets' starters are Hayes, Hill, Zhou Yang, Batum, Lowry! On the Celtics' side are Garnett, Meme, Glenn, Vaughn and Nate!

This season's Zhou Yang has a little more unfamiliar feeling. When I first came to the NBA, I wasn't very famous. But playing with his teammates every day, when he was with the Lakers, he was valued by the team, loved by the coach, and recognized by Kobe. After arriving at the Grizzlies, although there was constant friction, they stumbled and finished a season.

The Heat's game is pretty cool! The Big Three of the Heat of the year are now gone. One retired, and the other came to Houston. is different from the plot I watched in my previous life, Swift is busy with his career and does not have much contact with Zhou Yang.

And Linda's company is thriving now, and the time the two spend together has become less. Mime, who had a good relationship with him, also went to the Celtics. It seems that everything has changed a lot, and this season makes Zhou Yang feel particularly obvious.

In the team, Lowry and himself used to be teammates. Now it seems that Lowry has experienced something with the Grizzlies last season, and when he came here, he found that he could meet Zhou Yang's old relatives~

It's normal for the Grizzlies to abandon Lowry. There are too many defenders in the team, so naturally they have to make trade-offs in this position, and Lowry is the player they have to give up.

Zhou Yang, who was a little distracted, was dragged back by the game that suddenly started on the spot. Hayes was directly taken by Garnett because of his height! Mime takes the basketball and passes it to Nate!

Glenn reacted quickly, took Nate's ground-hitting pass and immediately rushed over to score a layup!

Batum took Zhou Yang's serve. But it didn't take a few seconds to pass the ball. Zhou Yang, who received the basketball, dribbled the ball slowly. The moment he received the basketball, the fans at the scene were boiling! Although Yao Ming is now recuperating from his injuries indefinitely, there is a Zhou Yang!

Team Rocket's hopes are much greater! New Season, New Hope! The team is up to them! Glenn quickly rushed in front of Zhou Yang. As a result, before he could make a defensive move, Zhou Yang directly passed Glenn, and then was forcefully interfered with at Mime!

"Okay, you, now start guarding against me!" From today's warm-up to now, Mime has not said a word to Zhou Yang. Zhou Yang also seemed to complain about Mime's emotions mixed in, so he said this.

"To each his own master. I'm a Celtic player now. So ......"

"I thought you were dumb!" Zhou Yang suddenly laughed as he spoke. Meme was right. At this point, they were already hostile on the field. Mimu was relieved to see Zhou Yang's somewhat relieved appearance now.

The reason why he never contacted Zhou Yang and refused Zhou Yang's call was because he was afraid that Zhou Yang would really agree to say something like "you play for a few more seasons". When he was with the Heat last season, he noticed that his fitness began to decline. Not being able to play as much time as I used to and still not being very tiring.

Looking at his teammate O'Neal at the time, Mime felt that he was about the same as O'Neal. So last season's Heat players Big Shark and Meme are really fighting!

The basketball pops out of the frame and is picked up by Garnett! Then his pass was directly cut off by Zhou Yang! The cheers from the scene rose again! It seems that Zhou Yang is back with the Lakers, but it seems that he has attracted more attention than when he was in the Lakers!

Since beating him and coming to the rocket, the expectation has been rising rapidly! At this rate, maybe this season doesn't need to be later, maybe Zhou Yang will be able to break through to the A-level qualification in the middle of the season!

In the opponent's defense, Zhou Yang jumped up and shot directly, and the basketball hollowed into the net! Although now the opposing team's Rondo, Ray Allen, and Pierce are not playing. But the Celtics players present still felt huge defensive pressure in front of Zhou Yang!

This season, they can no longer ignore the Asian striker! His jumper after just shaking off his opponent was like a textbook! The action is picturesque! It seems that he can score even if a player forcibly interferes! The camera went to Pierce and Ray Allen, and their faces were not very good.

If it was just when the Green Shirt Triumvirate was formed, it would be fine. But in a few years, other teams have also risen. Players like Kobe Bryant and Iverson are still on their respective teams!

The return of the Zen master has added a lot of suspense to the final result of the Western Conference playoffs.

After Nate got the ball, it was half time, and it was still Glenn! After receiving his pass, he hit a three-point jumper directly! At this time, his eyes when he looked at Zhou Yang were full of provocation! Zhou Yang took the ball to the front court, and after Hill got the basketball, he wanted to turn around and throw it, but he was directly cut off by Mime in the process!

After Glenn got the ball again, Boston started running like crazy! After Meme caught up from behind, he immediately jumped up after receiving the ball from his teammate Glenn and hit a long-range three-point shot! Back and forth 8:2. After Meme's goal was scored, the Celtics bench where Ray Allen and Pierce immediately stood up and applauded Meme! That's what Meme is good at!

The Celtics now need a big forward with good projection ability like Meme, in addition to the scoring of the main players! After Lowry took the ball, in the half, Zhou Yang got his pass and faced Glenn and Garnett directly to record the tomahawk dunk!! Before Glenn could react, he received a foul in a daze. Zhou Yang, who was standing next to the free throw line, successfully hit 2+1!

Adelman burst out laughing. Adelman still looked at the big screen. The camera didn't focus on him and continued to laugh for a while. Zhou Yang, a player, is estimated to bring a lot of ticket income to the Rockets in one season!

His current power control was actually on display last season! You can dunk quickly and score points! There is also the energy to go head-to-head with James. According to Adelman's current point of view, Zhou Yang still does not have the strength to go one-on-one with LeBron. But he's very strong in the game!

The regular season in the NBA is not a one-on-one game, but a five-player one-team game. Mime takes over the basketball again! Zhou Yang and Hill went to the bag, and under their bag, Mime was forced to force Hill to foul when he was about to go out of bounds, and then made 3 free throws and 3 hits!

"Have you heard that Mime has been his student with Zhou Yang all these years?" Ray Allen said as he watched Mime make free throws there.

"I think it's still very possible. Because according to the way Mime used to play, he would have retired a long time ago. To be able to play to this extent, someone must have mentored him, and he was willing to do so," Pierce went from joking with his teammates to serious at this point.

"We spent more than 7 million to recruit Zhou Yang's students. What I want to say is, if it is possible, I really hope that it is Zhou Yang who comes over," Lei Alun said with some regret.

"One meme is enough. We still need to work on the coordination. Defeated by the Bulls last season, he shouldn't have been. Rose may be even more well-known this season! Pierce's head shook as if he didn't have a wave at the thought of this. It's as if they weren't eliminated by the Bulls in the first round last season, and the championship would have been them.

Indeed, the game is either one-sided or two teams play until the end!

Batum quickly rushed to the front court, and Zhou Yang took the basketball and pointed at Batum to run inside. As he thought, the Boston players didn't believe he would pass the ball to such a young player, but the basketball did get to Batum after he attracted the three-man package. The latter was a little hesitant, but immediately made a close shot before Garnett arrived, and the basketball went straight into the net!

The Rockets obviously felt that the game after Zhou Yang had become less blunt than before! Glenn's three-pointer this time was not after Zhou Yang rushed in Hayes, Garnett and Mime's side to take the rebound, after he dribbled past Meme in a starting speed past Vaughn and then came to the frontcourt!

At this time, the fans at the scene were boiling! knew that Zhou Yang was powerful, but when I saw him playing like this on the field, I was still shocked! Sure enough, it's a player who has experienced the finals many times, but it's different!

Such a move also annoyed the Celtics a little! Nate rushed over on the other side to defend against Zhou Yang, but a scene that shocked the audience appeared again! Zhou Yang has Nate on his body and deducts points with both hands! After Zhou Yang scored, the Celtics wanted a timeout!

11:11! Zhou Yang's state is the same as playing an exhibition match. It's true that the opponent doesn't have any very good players to stop him on the field. And he tried to keep a certain distance from Garnett. So the Celtics players who were on the field just now basically had nothing to do with Zhou Yang.

"Pierce, Ray Allen. It's almost warmed up, right? Doug had just let the two of them warm up. It's time for the two of them to warm up on the field for the next game.
