On October 5, Beijing time, during the National Day Golden Week, the Philadelphia 76ers and Dallas Mavericks staged this year's NBA China game at the Mercedes-Benz Arena in Shanghai.

The highly anticipated Luke Doncic made his debut for the Mavericks.

He wears the number 77, and at 2.01 meters, his physical confrontation and shooting percentage have not fully adapted to the transition from the European League to the NBA, but his awareness and rhythm are not at all a rookie. He played 30 minutes, and although his shooting percentage was not satisfactory (0-of-4 three-pointers, 3-of-6 free throws, 4-of-11 shooting), he finished with 11 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks, filling the technical statistics table.

On several occasions, Doncic made real "European steps" to shake off his NBA colleagues who were a few years older than him, and easily scored the ball under the basket after breaking through.

The organization tandem also shows the skills of the UEFA Champions League MVP, several times to push the middle finger east and west, with a height of 2.01 meters, he is quite like the style of Magic Johnson back then.

Taken together, Luke Doncic's debut was a success. In popular parlance, his talent is "visible to the naked eye". At his first inspection in the Far East, Doncic proved that the wait was worth it, that he had a jade, not a parallel import.

After the game, Luke Doncic also took a group photo with Yao Ming, the Shanghainese who was present at the time, the famous name of the Mavericks' old rival Rocket, and the current president of the Chinese Basketball Association, through Dirk Nowitzki's introduction. In the group photo, Yao Ming stood closest to the camera, and he was also the tallest, so he seemed to be 2.50 meters tall. Yao Ming wore a suit, Nowitzki wore a Mavericks dark warm-up suit, and only Doncic wore a game vest, and he was the shortest standing in the middle, like an enthusiastic fan. The group photo was posted on the Internet, accompanied by the text "Legend", which naturally refers to the two legends around Doncic, Nowitzki and Yao Ming, but - Chairman Yao Ming naturally appeared for official entertainment and to promote the NBA China game; Nowitzki became Yang Yiming's teacher in the summer, but in the Mavericks in the future, I am afraid that he will teach Doncic more by word and deed; Hogel, the mentor of the legendary Nowitzki, was also specially invited to Dallas this summer to cultivate Doncic, a future star.

So although it seems to be a photo of a young fan and two superstars now, it is really hard to say whether this photo will live up to its name and everyone on it will become a "legend" over time.

Ben Simmons, last season's Rookie of the Year winner, who was opposite Doncic, also made his debut. Simmons, who played a little shorter and started just 27 minutes, was also suspected of saving his strength, filling the technical stats table very economically, finishing with nine points, nine rebounds and 10 assists, plus two steals and one block. In terms of shooting percentage, he is slightly better than Doncic, and his shooting confidence seems to have improved a lot, I don't know if it is the result of practicing 30,000 shots with Zhan Huang in Kyoto, Japan in the summer.

Ben Simmons' highlight moment of the game came in the first two minutes of the first quarter, when he stepped on a retro black and red AJ1 (the pair he met with the owner of the comic book store in Kyoto), received a pass from behind Embiid's back, went straight to the restricted area, and then spread his wings and dunked with one arm to the basket.

No matter in terms of equipment or physical posture, the rookie king is wantonly announcing that he is ready to attack higher honors.

Rookie Wang's summer teacher, LeBron James, presented his third game in a purple and gold jersey.

The pre-season is clearly not the stage for Zhan Huang to perform. Wearing the No. 23, he only played 15 minutes, but still had 18 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists, and he shot 6-of-10 from two-pointers and 6-of-6 from the free-throw line. The effectiveness of shooting in Kyoto and Ben Simmonster's training is still unknown, but LeBron himself seems to be getting more and more accurate and getting older and more demonic.

The strongest level of physical fitness in history, coupled with the current Taoguang Yang's shooting organization play, Zhan Huang looks like he can be at the top for another ten years. California's supple sea breezes and bright sunshine will probably help Emperor Zhan stay young more than the bitter agricultural state of Ohio. The stage in Los Angeles is inherently suitable for a king like LeBron James, who no longer has to throw magnesium powder into the sky to create a dramatic atmosphere. He will probably spend more time teasing the young people around him, Ingram, Kuzma, etc., to help them quickly rise to the top.

It's time to think about a successor.

It's a subject that great players like Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant haven't done. They are too "self-respecting", and they refuse to be gullible and leave the task of defeating everyone who is the enemy of the world. But LeBron James is different, he was born with a passion to make the players around him better. Maintaining the current form, it may be difficult to achieve a championship, but as long as he hits again and again as he did last season, and fights against all of them on his own, the title of "best of all" is probably secure. In addition, if we can cultivate a successor to inherit the mantle-

Then he LeBron, I'm afraid he has really created some unprecedented feats...

It's just that I don't know if Ingram and Kuzma are enough to be his successors.

So he also contacted Ben Simmons and Yang Yiming and sent them an offer. On the same day, all three played. Simmons made his promotional debut in Shanghai, China, and Yang Yiming also traveled with the team on Indiana Pacers turf. He came off the bench as the biggest new recruit of the summer, Carmelo Anthony, and Anthony also scored 16 points, in addition to 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. Like his main rivals Ben Simmons and Luke Doncic, Yang Yiming can also fill out his technical stat table.

It's just that compared with the first two, Yang Yiming has a thing that has been bothering him these days - he hasn't contacted Yu Xiaochun for several days.

It stands to reason that before the start of the preseason, Yu Xiaochun was going to end his vacation and meet him in Houston, but several days passed, not only did Yu Xiaochun not appear, but there was not even a trace of news! At first, Yang Yiming thought that Yu Xiaochun was just playing too much and couldn't think about it - but there were things that interested him more than basketball! But after a few days, Yang Yiming began to feel a little strange.

After the game, in the locker room, he called Yu Xiaochun again with some sadness.

As always, the voice prompts the other party that the phone has been turned off.

Just as Yang Yiming was about to pack up his equipment and leave with his teammates, his mobile phone rang.

It's actually Yu Xiaochun!

"Where did you go?!" Yang Yiming asked with a scowl in his face.

"Phew, don't mention it!"

"What's wrong? I thought you married a Vietnamese bride and weren't going to come back. ”

"It's kind of like that, but it turned out to be much worse than you thought - where are you? Just finished a preseason game with the Pacers? The result? ”

"Don't ask me. What the hell happened to you and what happened? ”

"I met a girl. I thought it was an affair, but she stole all my belongings! Phones, computers, notes, and passports! ”

"Ahh
