Chapter 22: The Regular Season Begins!
George didn't know why Stoudemire was asking him this question, and perhaps he thought that both George and Yao Ming had something to do with China, but George had never compared the two of them together.
Both Stoudemire and Yao Ming joined the NBA in 2002, Yao Ming was the top pick, but Stoudemire took away the best rookie of the year.
In the past few years, the two have been secretly competing, since they entered the league, Xiao Si regarded Yao Ming as an opponent, watching Yao Ming win the champion, enter the All-Star, and become the All-Star vote king, he was jealous, because he felt that he was stronger than Yao Ming, but he did not get Yao Ming's status and influence.
[The anchor should answer carefully, Stoudemire is very careful, if you say that he is not as good as Yao Ming, he may hate you! ] 】
[Actually, we can discuss this issue now, because Yao Ming retired after only five games this season, and the two have never had a chance to fight again. 】
[Yes, this is Yao Ming's last season in the NBA, I almost forgot, I just checked the counterpoint information of the two of them, 18+10 VS 19+9, the two can be regarded as mutual explosions! ] 】
[Exploding each other's P, obviously Stoudemire is stronger!] Let's just say that Stoudemire has been in the first team of the best team! That season was also the best year for Yao Ming's data, which was the suppression at its peak! 】
[Hehe, can Stoudemire attract two people and three people to defend in a sandwich? Yao Ming can. 】
[That is, in the 02 draft, I will be selected a hundred times, and the champion is still Yao Ming! ] 】
【……】
The audience in the live broadcast room began to argue, George is now in the NBA, and there will be more opportunities to meet well-known stars and coaches in the future, I believe this will help improve the activity of the live broadcast room.
George also only now knows that Yao Ming is about to retire, and he himself likes Yao Ming very much, thinking that he may not be able to play against Yao Ming in the NBA in his life, George feels extremely regretful, so even if he really thinks that Yao Ming is not as good as Xiao Si, he will not belittle Yao Ming in order to please the team boss.
However, George could not offend him......
George thought for a moment and said, "That's a hard question to answer, you're all the best interior players in the league today. However, if it's better than this season, I think you're stronger. ”
[Haha, the anchor is so cunning, Yao Ming has played five games this season, of course, not as good as Stoudemire. 】
Stoudemire was very happy after hearing this, at least George made it clear that he was better than Yao Ming, and there was no ambiguous perfunctory, but he didn't understand why George had to say that it was the next season.
Xiao Si smiled with satisfaction and walked away, in his heart, George is a good teammate, and as for whether George has the strength to be his teammate all the time, it depends on George's own ability.
……
The rest of the team's media day was basically a one-man show for Stoudemire, with the media, flash, and reports all going on for him alone, and no one paying attention to the lives of the other minor role players.
The preseason is about to begin, and it is a warm-up game that teams play before the start of the NBA regular season, because after each season, the team's lineup will change to a large extent, and the purpose of the preseason is to allow the team and players to run in.
For George, the preseason is also a process of adapting to the NBA in advance, but everyone doesn't play seriously in the preseason, and the audience in the live broadcast room doesn't like to watch it, so in the preseason game, there are still not many viewers in the live broadcast room, and there are few rewards.
George knows that the regular season is where his career really begins.
Seeing that the start of the regular season was getting closer and closer, George was getting more and more nervous.
Whether you're a fan of culture, sports, food or music, New York has some of the world's best and biggest events.
These days, it happens to be the time of the New York Film Festival, George will go every night as long as he is in New York, there are no good movies on this film festival, in the words of the mysterious audience, it is all a pile of garbage, nothing to see.
In fact, compared to the "Inception" that George and Erin watched in Las Vegas, which had just been released at the time, it was far behind, that movie is still George's favorite movie at present, and the audience in the live broadcast room also rated it very highly, and even after many years, there is no similar movie that can be compared.
Therefore, George is not going for good movies at all, he is thinking, will he meet Elizabeth Olsen who is studying acting in New York at the film festival?
George hasn't forgotten the girl since the last time they separated, and now, they're both in New York, and George is alone, if he has a beautiful girlfriend like Olson, they usually eat together, watch movies together, or sleep together...... How good should it be?
Unfortunately, George didn't meet Olsen again after several visits, and he didn't have the courage to go to New York University's Tisch School of Art to find her, after all, George is now only a substitute for the Knicks.
However, George is determined to go to her once he is in the normal rotation with the New York Knicks!
The grass and trees are gradually withering, and the autumn wind is getting colder.
It's October 25, 2010, and today is the day of the NBA2010-2011 regular season opener!
The New York Knicks did not appear in the opener matchup, and on this day, there were a total of six teams playing, and the most high-profile was undoubtedly the Miami Heat, who had just formed the Big Three, to challenge the Boston Celtics, who also had the Big Three.
In this game, James, who had just joined the Heat, scored 31 points in the first game, but unfortunately the other two giants, Wade and Bosh, performed mediocre and lost to the Celtics in the end.
After the game, many people were saying that the Heat Big Three were only strong on the surface, and one plus one plus one may not be equal to three, but George knew very well that the Heat was the strongest team in the East, and they would win the Eastern championship.
……
The next day, Canada, Toronto, the Raptors' home stadium at the Canada Route Center, George ushered in the first game of his career!
[Come on, anchor! ] In the first game of your career, as long as you score a goal, you will definitely be rewarded! 】
[Can the anchor score 30 points in his NBA debut?] 】
[Is it funny to say 30 points?] 30 points with Hayes' ability? It's hard to say whether the anchor can play today! 】
Today, there are 200 people following George, and the number of people currently online has reached 270!
The NBA's regular season is really much more attractive than those summer leagues and preseason games!
"I don't know when I'll be able to play...... The game has already begun, with George sitting on the bench and waiting for manager D'Antoni to call.
At this point, D'Antoni stared deeply at the starting five on the field: Stoudemire, Raymond Felton, Gallinari, Landridgefields and Mozgov, completely oblivious to the longing look in George's eyes.
George stared at his five teammates on the court, and he must try to be one of the starting five this season, and the only replacements he could have could be point guard Felton or shooting guard Fields.
Although George can play both the No. 1 and No. 2 positions, he is still defined as a shooting guard by D'Antoni for the time being, which means that he must replace Landry Fields if he wants to be selected as a starter.
Fields, like George, is a rookie this year.
[The anchor is big, I helped you check Fields's information, he is "the peak of his debut", he averaged 9.7 points and 6.4 rebounds per game this season, and after that, one season is not as good as another, and he will not play in the NBA after 2015. 】
[How can a guy who has only played in the NBA for five seasons be an opponent of the streamer? Come on, let's get rid of him and become the starter! 】
[That's right, the anchor hurriedly mixed into the starter, the game has started, and I don't know when the anchor will play, which feels too uncomfortable! ] 】
Unexpectedly, the audience in the live broadcast room was more anxious than George, at this time, let alone replacing Fields as the starter, even if he was Fields' substitute, George couldn't be called it.
After nearly ten minutes of the first quarter, Knicks coach D'Antoni replaced Fields from the break, however, it was not George who replaced him, but Wilson Chandler.
[What's the matter?] Why not anchor for Fields? 】
[Wilson Chandler was the team's starter last season, in fact, in terms of strength alone, Wilson is stronger than Fields, but this season the team wants to cultivate rookie Fields, so he is allowed to play as a starter. 】
[D'Antoni is sick, right? Even if you train rookies, you should also train anchors, anchors have Hayes's defensive ability, and our group of think tanks who know astronomy and geography to help, isn't it more promising than that Fields? The anchor is going to beat up that old man, I can't stand it! 】
George didn't play for the whole section, and the 270 people in the live broadcast room gradually became only 200 people.
George rubbed his hands, his mood became anxious, and he thought to himself, "If you change people next, it should be me, right?" ”
However, unexpectedly, when there was only the last minute left in the second quarter, it was another guard of the team, Roger Mason, who replaced Wilson Chandler on the court!
"Hell, I'm not in the team's rotation!" George then realized that D'Antoni might not let him play at all in this game!
