Before the start of the game, in the final preparation stage, both teams shot in their respective halfs of the bench, sprinkled magnesium powder, held the ball to the opposite pull-up pull-up, and there was an expressionless No. 21 who was abandoned by his teammates and came to the opponent's side to hang on the basket.

The shooters of both teams stopped helplessly.

There is a long-haired No. 20 man who looks at the weirdos of the two teams on the court, and feels that this is different from the NBA of his dreams!

He has a weird poker face on his team and loves to encourage him, and he has been encouraging him since he went to San Antonio after the Olympics to report.

Even if he is encouraged, he often touches his head, making Ginobili feel that something is wrong, as if something has been stolen, but he used to be in the Italian league, and his salary is very low, only 170,000 euros a year, which is not comparable to those millions of euros a year when the NBA goes to pan for gold.

Not to mention the low salary in Europe, there are huge liquidated damages for the self-trained players raised by the youth team, usually five to ten times the salary, so after being drafted by the Spurs for two years, Ginobili had a chance to join the NBA.

Otherwise, with his strength, go to the Spurs for a tryout, ** Vicky can't want him, even if the Spurs don't want him, he goes to another team to try out again, or play in the summer league, and it is not difficult to join the NBA.

Although NBA teams can select players who are 22 years old or older or who have played for 4 years directly with draft picks without the player's consent, the first-round pick must decide whether to sign the contract that year, and the second-round pick can only keep the signing right for 4 years, after which the player can voluntarily give up the signing right.

Ginobili was drafted in 1999, and the summer of 1999 is even the first year, that is, if the Spurs do not sign Ginobili this past summer, Ginobili can join any team after the start of the preseason of the new season.

The NBA does not allow people to join the NBA without a draft, and they must be drafted or "undrafted" to become free agents.

Of course, it is actually quite easy to lose the election, at the age of 22, you automatically get the right to run, and if you don't vote, you will definitely lose, in other words, as long as you are not an American student, you can freely join any team at the age of 23.

So Ginobili was poor in Europe for three years before joining the NBA, and he felt that he didn't have anything worth stealing, and he always felt weird.

Before Ginobili joined the NBA, the Spurs were a disciplined team in his cognition, but when it came to the Spurs, the boss loved to touch his head, and the boss couldn't play very well, but he loved to practice drumming when he had nothing to do.

When it came to the preseason, Ginobili would see the boss wandering around all positions on the field before every game, on the opponent's side, on his own side, and sometimes he would stare at the referee and be chased away by the referee.

But the strange thing is that Ginobili himself slowly feels that this kind of weird thing is normal, so normal that he is about to ignore the team boss.

But overall, the opponent is still normal and not so strange.

But today, Ginobili found out that the opponent has also become strange!

Sprinkle magnesium powder?

Aren't you afraid of getting lung disease?

Do you go to pull-ups with a 1.88 meter? Who can the little arms and legs provoke?

There was also a gorilla who seemed to be the best defensive player, running to the opposite side of the technical table and yelling at the fans, you are not wearing a number 21, roaring wool!

There is also a nickname Big Dog, with a look of I am very powerful, and my arrogant expression pushes my boss away from the other party's basket.

By the way, Ginobili suddenly felt that something was missing, as if it was the little senior of China, what about people?

Ginobili turned his head to look for the other party's junior who was known as the strongest rookie in history, but just turned his head, he was startled, and almost fell to the ground!

As soon as Ginobili turned his head, he saw a very tight head behind him Chinese staring at him with a curious face...... Depend on! Walking without footsteps...... It seems that the sound of footsteps is so loud that you can't hear the footsteps, unless you run with all your might, but this elusive, scary people will scare people to death, okay!

Ginobili looked horrified, but Liu Mang's attention was entirely on Ginobili's hair.

With this lush and lush hair, Liu Mang is very curious, what does such a lush and vigorous hair have to go through to become bald?

Impossible!

NBA players can't eat badly, and it's not that black hairlines are born early, white people are relatively the least Mediterranean, which has a lot to do with genetics, and people who know the Mediterranean show signs in their youth, usually in their 20s, with serious hair loss, such as Boozer.

And Ginobili, who is now 25 years old, is obviously past that age, and his hair is still so lush, but he is bald at the age of 27?

"Hello, Manu, my name is Ace, get to know me!" Liu Mang took the initiative to stretch out his hand to say hello.

"Hah...... Hello, I'm glad to meet you, too. Ginobili said this quite against his will, he was almost scared to death, but he was in a foreign country, and it was still good to be obscene.

Ginobili was a little anxious waiting for Liu Mang to say something, although he is 25 years old and has become famous in international competitions, but as a European and South American player, it is not easy to mix in the NBA, and it is the same as Chinese players.

The beginning of Chinese players in the NBA, if it is not as amazing as Liu Mang's rookie year, Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi, it is impossible to have a good start from the beginning of the new season, Yao Ming faced the Wizards led by Jordan in his debut, although he only scored 3 points, 9 shots and 0 hits, but his teammates still trusted him and gave him a lot of opportunities to shoot, and finally won 6 points and 10 boards by free throws, which was much better than the debut performance of the champion in the previous two years, and with the trust of his teammates, Yao Ming played more actively, It is much better than Liu Mang's impression of Yao Ming's bad debut.

Ginobili is ready to be ridiculed, he was sprayed by Doug Christie at the All-Defensive Team level when he played the Kings, even if he is 25, he is just a rookie in the NBA, and to become an old bird, he has to go through the 04 playoffs after being abused by Kobe Bryant into a dog before he began to evolve into a demon knife that almost won the 2005 championship MVP.

But......

Ginobili saw that Liu Mang, who came to say hello, looked at himself for a long time, and then turned around and left......

That's it...... Let's go......

Liu Mang actually simply wants to get to know the future Mr. Demon Knife, and look at this guy who is still the best key Mr. Spur who is still the emperor of the east and the dog in the west until he is 41 years old, but Mr. Demon Knife seems to have hair and doesn't look very demonic, Liu Mang's attention is all focused on his hair.

I couldn't see why, and then I left, forgetting to say hello to Ginobili by the way.

Ginobili is going crazy!

How are these guys in the NBA all weirdos!

……

……

The game was about to start, and to the cheers of the fans, both teams started the game.

On the Hawks' side, new starters were released, with Jason Terry, Glenn Robinson, Raheem, Mohammed, and Ratliff on the field.

On the Spurs' side, the sophomore Parker began to appear on his own stage, gold always shines, and Stephen Jackson, who was abused by Liu Mang last year to doubt his life, was promoted to the starting position by **vic through hard work and hard work and excellent performance in the preseason.

The starting lineup for the Spurs is Parker, Bowen, Stephen Jackson, Duncan, David Robinson.

Watching Ratliff win the jump ball on the admiral's head, Liu Mang was very surprised!

Looking at David Robinson, who struggled to run back or only fell at the same speed as Ratliff in the half-time, Liu Mang had to sigh that the years were like a pig-killing knife, soft......

Jason Terry pushed forward with the ball, and at this time he played tactically, he should have handed the ball to Rahim, the team's strongest man, after all, Raheem is the only top star in the Hawks who has a chance to reluctantly wrestle with Duncan.

However, Glenn Robinson, who was supposed to play with Muhammad without the ball and look for an open opportunity at this time, asked for the ball directly at the top arc!

What does this guy want to do?

Jason Terry hesitated for a moment to pass the ball to Glenn Robinson and then went to take the place of Glenn Robinson's character and Muhammad in his own place.

The purpose of the run is to open up space for Rahim, and then the 45-degree ball carrier and Rahim play inside and outside to respond, Rahim is eaten raw without being trapped, and when he is clipped, he is divided under the basket or outside the three-point line.

However, after the big dog brother got the ball, he continued to dribble under his crotch, not to mention, the big dog brother's strength was really good, his footsteps and control of the body were perfect, and he shook off Bowen and suddenly made a mid-distance shot to the free throw line.

The talent is really good!

Although this ball is not awkward at all, and it is not Liu Mang's kind of singles that seizes the opportunity when the opponent's defense tends to Rahim, it is a strong play by relying on talent, but it is a good goal.

After all, with Liu Mang as a teammate, the rest of the Eagles are used to it.

Glenn Robinson ran back to the half court with a scream of excitement after the goal, and the sound was like a wolf and a dog, and it was indistinguishable.

The Spurs attacked, and Parker honestly dribbled over and honestly passed the ball to Duncan.

Duncan leaned on Ratliffe outside the three-second zone and waited for David Robinson to pull to the other sideline, almost close to the three-point line, before Duncan began to play alone.

In the face of Rartleff, Duncan did not choose to play strongly, but used solid basic skills, used the movement of footsteps to grind little by little, and drove Ratliffe's solid defense little by little, seeing that when the five seconds of his back were about to come, Duncan really grinded into the three-second zone, turned around and made a low-handed layup to avoid Ratliffe's block and threw the ball into the basket.

Classic center forward one-on-one!

It's the same feeling as when Olajuwon was in his prime in '93 and Mutombo, who was said to be 27 at the time, played in the regular season, except for an extra five seconds with his back to his back.

It was the Hawks offense again, and this time Glenn Robinson pushed the ball straight across the halfcourt himself, and then broke through again to hit Bowen's mid-range pullup jump shot.

It's jumping high, it's relying on speed and explosiveness, Bowen really can't stop it!

In fact, Bowen has a big characteristic, that is, at the beginning of each game, the effect of defending the opponent's outside star is very average, and as the game deepens, the referee's attention slowly shifts away from him, and his defensive power is greater.

Glenn Robinson scored 4 straight points in the opening game!

The fans at the scene saw that Glenn Robinson was as strong as in the preseason, and the hearts that were still a little hanging in their hearts were finally put down, and the stadium was full of cheers.

The Spurs were unaffected, Parker continued to push in slowly, slowed down his speed, and passed to Duncan, who continued to play singles, this time Muhammad came over and came, Duncan passed the ball to David Robinson, who hit a shot from long range.

4-4 draw!

The Hawks continued to attack, Glenn Robinson still had the ball, and this time Raheem also understood that this guy couldn't pass the ball, but Raheem didn't get angry or anything, and took the initiative to pull the space away.

Glenn Robinson still chose to break through, and Stephen Jackson, who defended Rahim, saw that Raheem was so far away from the three-second zone that he was almost close to the bottom left corner, and chose to rush up and pinch Glenn Robinson with Bowen.

Raheem cut to the basket as soon as Stephen Jackson left, and was very conscious.

However, Glenn Robinson threw it straight before the opponent's bag was in place.

Return!

Glenn Robinson hands are hot today!

Scored 6 points in a row at the beginning!

The game only lasted 1 minute and 26 seconds! Without hesitation, Vicky called a timeout.

……

Seeing Glenn Robinson playing like Kobe Bryant, who has been in good shape recently, Vicky did not get angry as before, but praised loudly: "Stephen, it's important for you to pack well, but be quicker and more decisive, Tony, when the No. 13 is close to you, you also go over to wrap ......"

** Vicky decisively adjusted his defensive strategy.

On the Hawks' side, Coach Kruger emphasized: "Pay attention to the outside shrink defense, Nazr you follow the Admiral, leave the bag to the outside, the opponent's outside shooting is not accurate on the inside, except for Jason, Glenn and Sherif who defend Bowen, pay attention to the shrinkage ......"

The Eagles didn't make premature substitutions, and they looked pretty good at the start, although it didn't play reasonably, but because there was such an unreasonable guy as Liu Mang before, everything looked quite reasonable.

……

Coming back from a timeout, the Spurs attacked.

It's still grinding Duncan, the Spurs at this stage are not a team team, they are playing superstars, and Duncan started with a strong chisel.

Duncan got the ball inside, the Spurs didn't stop on the outside, Bowen bypassed from the high post, moving back and forth from the left bottom corner to the right 45-degree angle, Bowen's perennial three-point shooting rate of more than 40 percent was the foundation of his offensive end, and Jason Terry had to defend.

Stephen Jackson was in the middle of the run at any time, and Raheem had to follow suit.

As soon as Coach Krueger stressed that David Robinson could not be let go, Mohammed stuck to the baseline on the right side.

So, at this time, Ratliffe was waiting eagerly for Glenn Robinson to help defend Duncan, Parker's three-point shooting never worked out in his life, and the early part of his career was even more miserable.

However...... Glenn Robinson just watched Duncan take the ball and throw it to score two points, and only ran in to serve after the opponent scored.

"......" Ratliff was thinking about a rookie at this time, and even thinking about Dean Grove, who was not very strong but was willing to do all the dirty work.

Ratliff fed the ball to Glenn Robinson, who continued to push his way and go single.
