The first meeting with Wang Zhizhi, I didn't talk about much really meaningful things, mainly to get to know each other, have a cup of coffee together, talk about living habits in the United States, and then left.

didn't talk about things related to the game or the national team, the former couldn't talk together, and the latter Wang Zhizhi didn't have much to say, so he didn't mention the topic of this aspect.

……

……

First time against the Dallas Mavericks!

The Eagles' pre-game training was confusing.

Mostly the head coach of this team, whose full name is Don - the most troublesome thing in history - can never guess what he is thinking - Nelson, alias: Mad Scientist.

At the beginning of the season, they were running and banging...... The Spurs took turns having a relationship with the Kings and the Lakers...... No, it was a wave of abuse in turns, and then honestly played the position to attack and defend.

Playing and fighting, they saw the Eagles' new version of "Run-and-Shoot", so effective, and then tried it, and it almost didn't exhaust Juwan Howard and Nowitzki to death, and they gave up again.

By the time it came to All-Star Weekend, they had three players selected as All-Stars, which should theoretically be beautiful, but Nelson Sr. felt that there were not enough of them, so he started a big trade, and they took advantage of it!

The Mavericks threw Juvan Howard's $45 million salary from the last two years of his first 100 million dollar contract in NBA history, which he acquired from the Wizards last summer, to the Nuggets in exchange for the Nuggets' '98 No. 3 Pick Reeve LaFerencz and former Lakers All-Star Nick Van Exel.

Then with the second-round pick in '99, a player named Elvin Essmaier got rid of the four-year 15 million mid-range long-term contract he signed last year and traded it to Tim Hardaway of the Heat.

In this wave of operations, theoretically, the Mavericks have six star players! And it only took one first-round pick and two second-rounders, one of which was upside down by the Wizards when they took over Juwan-Howard last summer.

So, Nelson Sr. had a whim, he already had 6 star players in his own house, so the Mavericks changed their playing style and started the first generation of five-core play, that is, whoever has an advantage in the position will hold the ball.

As a result, the three players who just traded, if you put aside their previous data on other teams, only the data after the All-Star Weekend, plus the original Nowitzki, Nash, Finley, Adrian Griffin, the Mavericks have seven players averaging double-doubles per game.

Of course, at the cost of the Mavericks' record being overtaken by the Trail Blazers.

But it doesn't matter!

Nelson Sr. said that this is the team's "strategy", and that they can play the Kings instead of playing against the Lakers in the first round...... It doesn't matter, it's a big deal! Anyway, they can't beat it, and they don't have to let Nowitzki and Juwan Howard, two small arms and legs, fight hard with O'Neal.

Finding that the five-core tactics couldn't work and the record declined, the old Nelson began to make a moth again, putting Nowitzki into the small forward position, Wang Zhizhi and Reeve Lafrentz partnered inside, and the three big forwards were the shooters......

It's just that the Mavericks players are strong enough, so devastating, the record is still proper.

Then, it was such a team that made the Eagles unable to prepare for the game with peace of mind.

No one knows what tactics this team will suddenly play, and it is estimated that the owner of Cuban is holding "expectations" before the start of each game, sharpening his big knife to see if he wants to kill this old man.

Coach Krueger is becoming more and more like a muddy person, and when he can't think of a way, he thinks horizontally, anyway, he will play twice a year, and play freely!

……

……

The players are actively preparing for the game, as the focus of the "ice-breaking" battle between the hooligans and one of the two major sports hooligan organizations in China, the NBA's first "Chinese Derby", as soon as the notice of the change of the live broadcast came out, the domestic basketball world was boiling.

Liu Mang VS Wang Zhizhi!

For the first time, Chinese players played against each other in the NBA!

Before the NBA, it was not without two Chinese players, but the duel between Battle and Wang Zhizhi really couldn't be blown, both of them sometimes couldn't play, Wang Zhizhi was okay, he was a member of the Mavericks' rotation lineup, Nowitzki's stable substitute, except for being injured and absent for more than a month, the remaining more than 50 games were played, and Battle, who was a rookie, played a total of 20 games, was lowered to the NBDL in January, and then was laid off back to China to join the Shougang team.

Now Wang Zhizhi also has a fixed playing time of more than ten minutes, and Liu Mang is the core of the ball control of the first team in the East, which really has the meaning of the Chinese derby.

And for the predecessors of the domestic basketball industry, those who are really committed to the development of domestic basketball, the significance of this game is not limited to this, this game is regarded as the pride of domestic basketball, the soul of the national team, just led the big sharks to abuse the Bayi team, Yao Ming, who averaged 41.3 points, 21 rebounds and 4.3 blocks per game in the four finals, entered the NBA before the warm-up.

Seeing Liu Mang's success in the NBA, people have higher expectations for Yao Ming, the center of the national team who belongs to the monster level in the international arena!

……

……

"Imperial Court TV, Imperial Court TV, hello everyone, I am Sun Zhengping, welcome to watch the Hawks away challenge to the Mavericks brought to you by the Imperial Court TV Sports Channel, the focus of the two teams in this game is Wang Zhizhi, who is very familiar to everyone, and Liu Mang, a new star in the NBA, and today I am partnering with me to explain the very familiar Zhang Weiping Zhang guidance." Sun Zhengping, football commentator.

I don't understand why the Imperial Court would let a football commentator explain the NBA, probably ...... Because of the professionalism!

is different from Sun Zhengping's hard work and wanting to be rigorous, Director Zhang's commentary is much more active: "Hello, everyone, I'm Zhang Weiping." ”

"Coach Zhang," for his seniors, Sun Zhengping will always be very dogleggy, "What do you think of Coach Zhang in today's game?" Is Liu Mang really as powerful as the legend? ”

The voice of Director Zhang in the front, as well as the honorific title in the back, Director Zhang was very satisfied, but the problem in the back almost made Director Zhang fall off the chair.

Nima, what about a professional host?

That's a really professional question!

Big brother, don't you want to watch the ball before you come to explain? Don't know a little about the NBA?

"Let's call Liu Mang Ace, he is more used to the whole title," Director Zhang tried to restrain his urge to roll his eyes, "How strong is Ace, this is really not easy to compare, I'll just say so today, anyway, Asian players, don't talk about anything else, let's just say that the most basic job of ball control, none of them can be compared with Ace." ”

"It seems that Director Zhang is right to Ace? That's right, Ace, Director Zhang values Ace very much! The young player should be very excited to hear this encouragement from his seniors, and I hope that the young player Ace can bring us a wonderful performance. However, in addition to the match between Ace and Wang Zhizhi, we also invited a special guest today, who just won the Golden Boot...... No, it's Yao Ming, who won the championship of the Chinese Men's Basketball League and the Most Valuable Player! ”

Director Zhang didn't just want to roll his eyes, this time he wanted to hit someone.

Youngsters...... Do you think it's football or volleyball! What do you call basketball players youngsters? What else do you use to show off your rich knowledge base? Also the Golden Boot? …… &%&……%

Director Zhang, who cooperated with Sun Zhengping for the first time, was desperate, but he didn't know that because there were no other basketball commentators willing to partner with Sun Zhengping, Sun Zhengping couldn't get along in the football commentary world......

Yao Ming, who waited in the background for a long time, entered.

Yao Ming, who has just won the CBA championship and has basically locked in the NBA No. 1 title since it was announced last year that he would run for election this year, is now at the first peak of his career.

For the first time in a decent Chinese derby, Coach Zhang invited Yao Ming to explain the game together.

"Hello Director Zhang, hello Teacher Sun." Yao Ming was polite, mainly to guide Zhang, a former national team second center forward and former national team head coach with a legendary resume in the national team.

finally called Sun Zhengping's teacher, mainly because I didn't know what to call him.

After all, the current Yao Ming is only 21 years old and not yet 22, and he is not the first person in national history basketball in the future, and he is still in the stage of obscene development.

Yao Ming's huge body was stuffed into the chair, and then Sun Zhengping began to play again: "Hello Yao Ming, congratulations on winning the championship and MVP, thank you for commenting on this game together, for the two young players in this game, do you have anything to mention about their game today?" ”

“……”

“……”

Yao Ming and Director Zhang really can't stand it this time, are you stupid? Mention points?

Yao Ming has always had a high emotional intelligence, saying: "For Ace, a senior in the NBA, I am trying to learn how he survives in the NBA, but I found a problem, I can't run as fast as him, and he may jump faster than me on one foot, so I don't know how he will play ......"

It's a pity that Yao Ming's words, the domestic TV audience has already pressed the silence before they heard it......

……

……

There was a lot of hype in China, and the NBA officials in the United States did not do anything to promote the game in which two Chinese players participated.

They can't use the precious first time on Wang Zhizhi, they want to use the "Chinese derby" officially recognized by the NBA for the first time, on Liu Mang and the Great Wall of China who is about to step into the NBA, so as to bring the greatest benefit.

This point has also been communicated by the NBA official and the court station, so although the domestic media opinion is the Chinese derby, the court station's propaganda is just a rebroadcast of the Mavericks' game.

It's a normal clash of strong teams from the East and the West, and there is no live broadcast in the United States on the United States, because no matter who wins or loses, it will not have much impact on the rankings of the two teams.

In the pre-game warm-up, Liu Mang and Wang Zhizhi said hello and didn't talk much, his attention was all on a golden-haired man with long hair.

Liu Mang couldn't help but go to the Mavericks.

The coaching staff and players on the Eagles' side saw Liu Mang running to the opponent again, helplessly with a little curiosity......

What is this rookie going to do!
