On October 29, the NBA regular season kicked off.

There were three big games on the first day, with the Lakers playing the Spurs at home, the Grizzlies facing the 76ers at home, and the Knicks playing the Kings at home.

It can be said that all three games are the focus of the game.

Needless to say, this is the focus of the past few seasons, the Grizzlies faced the 76ers, one is the former Western boss, the other is the former Eastern boss, and met in the 2001 Finals, plus the Mai Ai matchup, this group of matchups is also full of saliva.

The Knicks didn't have much to say about the Kings, who were able to play in the opener because they were at the Madison Square Garden arena, which is known as the Mecca mecca of basketball, and David Stern naturally had to arrange a game for the Knicks to join.

As for the kings, it's purely because their offense is played beautifully and is extremely ornamental.

Through the opening of the three games, I have to say that David Stern's mind is very clear, he knows how to promote the NBA brand, and the opening game is another focus event that David Stern launched after the Christmas game that can attract the attention of the whole people.

……

Qiao Hai didn't watch the three big battles, because he accompanied Stan Lorefour to watch an American middle school basketball game.

The two sides are two local Houston junior high schools, Lincoln Middle School in downtown Houston and Beleri Middle School in Houston's West Side affluent neighborhood.

Stamrefour's son, Kevin Love, transferred to Beleri this summer, and he quickly became the inner core of Belleri Middle School.

Lincoln Junior High School has been the Houston hegemon for the past two years because they have two strong third-graders.

One is called Deandre Jordan and the other is Jimmy Butler, one inside and one outside, complementing each other.

Qiao Hai sounded familiar with these two names, so before the start of the game, Qiao Hai was optimistic that Lincoln Junior High School would be able to win.

At the beginning of the game, Kevin Love played very averagely, and Bellery High School fell behind by a large score.

Qiao Hai's position is relatively backward, because in Houston, Qiao Hai's fame is still very big, especially in the basketball hall, sitting in the front place, Qiao Hai can even steal the limelight of this game.

"Bellery is going to lose, and Lincoln Junior High School is a cut above them."

Watching the game, Qiao Hai whispered, and Stanrefour also wanted to nod, he also felt that Belerary Middle School was going to lose.

But at this time, a fan sitting on the other side of Qiao Hai heard Qiao Hai's voice and fought back against Qiao Hai: "It's the first time you've watched the ball from Belleri Middle School, right?" ”

"How?"

Qiao Hai didn't quite understand, because it was indeed the first time he had seen the ball from Belleri Middle School.

"If Mark hadn't been injured, Lincoln would have lost this game!" The middle-aged white man, who appeared to be a fan of Beleri Middle School, showed off his jersey number, number 11, with a line written on the back — "Mac-McClung." ”

Qiao Hai was not familiar with this name, so he shook his head secretly and said in his heart: "Fans are blind, confident, and can even be said to be NC." ”

He wasn't interested in this Mark McCloger, and seeing that Bellerey was about to lose, Joe Hai thought about today's three openers.

So, he got up and was about to leave, and said to Stamreford: "You go on, I'll go back and watch TV, Lakers vs. Spurs, or Grizzlies vs. 76ers." ”

Stan Lefu nodded and watched Qiao Hai leave.

And the white fan was still babbling about Qiao Hai as he was about to step in front of him, "Hey, buddy, don't you like Mark?" He's considered the next Larry Bird, the next greatest white player in basketball history, and you're ignoring him? ”

Qiao Hai smiled and pointed to Kevin Lefou, who was still fighting on the field: "In my opinion, Kevin Lefoux is like the next Larry Bird." ”

……

……

Qiao Hai left the Beleri Middle School Arena, and the three NBA openers came to an end quickly.

The Lakers lost to the Spurs by 5 points at home, Kobe Bryant was defended, and O'Neal was limited by the Twin Towers, this Spurs this season has made a difference, their defense has formed a whole, and it seems to be stronger.

The other matchup, the Grizzlies vs. the 76ers.

Larry Brown left the 76ers, and with him Deacon Bemutombo, the 76ers finally became Allen Iverson's one-man team, and the local media in Philadelphia hated it and said: "The current situation of the 76ers is what the AI wants himself, and he is responsible for it."

As for the Grizzlies, their main core lineup has not changed much in the new season, the outside line is still Maddie Gabillous, the small forward is still Shaun Marion, the power forward Wang Zhizhi, the center is Jamal Magloyer, who has improved greatly, and there are Pau Gasol and Michael Reed on the bench.

But obviously, the Grizzlies need to make a choice in the new season, Pau Gasol is not willing to come off the bench, Sean Marion's rookie contract is about to expire, and Michael Haesley also needs to make a choice, whether his team will pay the luxury tax.

Lionel Hollins was the head coach for one season, and this season he has turned to the leading role, and the new coach is the old coach Hubby Brown.

And what Hubie Brown has done to the Grizzlies is that they're back on offense.

So, in this game, the Grizzlies, who were obviously a notch better than the 76ers, defeated their opponents and won the opening game, and Hubi Brown's Grizzlies career also got off to a good start.

In the final matchup, the Kings challenged the Knicks away.

The general manager of the Knicks is Scott Reden, and last year, his Knicks were named "the worst team in sports" by ESPN, but James Dolan still hasn't fired Scott Reden, which gives Reden the opportunity to continue making all sorts of NC trades.

In the draft, Scott Rayden drafted Brazilian Hilario Nene with the No. 7 pick, and then used a trade to package Nene and Marcus Camby, Mark Jackson, from the Denver Nuggets in exchange for power forward Antonio McDyes, Frank Williams signing rights and a 2003 second-round pick.

Needless to say, there is no need to go into detail about how NC this deal is, in short, after this deal, the Knicks lost their interior defensive core Marcus Camby.

Coach Don Cheni also completely lost the defensive foundation left by previous coach Jeff Van Gundy, and it can be said that this Knicks team has been rotten since Jeff Van Gundy stepped down.

In the face of the Kings, who are gradually entering the peak, the Knicks trailed by 26 points at halftime and lost miserably.

David Stern once again left the Madison Square Garden arena in disgrace......

……

……

Before the opening game of the rockets began, Houston had already gathered a large number of reporters, most of whom were from the Celestial Empire on the other side of the ocean.

Unlike the previous ones and Battle, this rocket has attracted the attention of domestic fans, and the attention is unusually high.

Because Yao Ming is the champion, theoretically speaking, his upper line is higher than roughly and Battle, or even higher. And this rocket has Qiao Hai, who is the godfather of the grizzlies and the first Chinese to enter the NBA.

Before the opening match, Qiao Hai was interviewed by reporters.

Jonathan Fagan of the Houston Documentary asked the first question: "Mr. Joe, do you have any expectations for the Rockets' performance in the new season?" ”

"I hope we can get back into the playoffs."

The ESPN reporter then asked, "What do you do if a team doesn't make the playoffs?" ”

"As general manager, if we don't make the playoffs, we can only say that we are not strong enough, and we will continue to strengthen our strength to make sure that we can make the playoffs."

The reporter of HOOP Sports mentioned the Grizzlies and Hubbie Brown: "The old coach Hubby Brown took over the Grizzlies, do you think they can still win the championship for this new Grizzly team?" ”

Qiao Hai thought about this question and answered very seriously: "Huby is a good coach, he has the ability to lead a team to win the championship, but the Grizzlies' problem is not the coach, because Lionel is also a good coach, their problem is that the management is too bad, and Billy Knight may be the worst general manager in the league." ”

The reporters were a little surprised, opened their mouths wide, and quickly wrote down Qiao Hai's last sentence, and the news headline was also thought of: After Time Magazine, Qiao Hai bombarded Billy Knight again.

The Sports Illustrated reporter was quick to mention the Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith bet: "What do you think about the Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith bet? ”

Qiao Hai smiled: "I don't have any opinion, it must be Charles who loses the bet in the end." ”

"Why?"

"Because Yao is definitely not a parallel import."
