On November 2, the NBA regular season kicked off.

There were three games on the first day, with the Dallas Mavericks hosting the Kings, the Detroit Pistons hosting the Rockets, and the Los Angeles Lakers hosting the Grizzlies.

All three games were matchups, but all eyes were on Los Angeles.

At the Staples Center, the Sharks returned to their hometown, and in the face of Chris Micme and Pau Gasol's interior, O'Neal went crazy, and it only took three quarters to score 33 points, 11 rebounds and 2 blocks, and then the game went into garbage time.

At the end of the game, the Grizzlies, who formed a new king-bomb combination, defeated the Lakers 109-87 away and won the opening game.

The Staples Center was filled with boos, and Shaquille O'Neal's post-game celebration directly annoyed the fans in Los Angeles.

In an interview after the game, O'Neal said: "In this game, I just want everyone to know that without me, Kobe Bryant can't win anything!" ”

In the first game of the regular season, the hot atmosphere of the new season was played out like this, O'Neal vented fiercely, but Kobe Bryant did not respond.

But there are more and more discussions.

Los Angeles Times reporter Mike DiGiovana posted a post on his Facebook page to discuss: "Did the Lakers make another wrong decision by sending Shaquille O'Neal away? ”

Then, a large number of Lakers fans gave their opinions.

Some Kobe Bryant fans said: "Winning or losing a game doesn't mean anything, Kobe Bryant is younger, he will have a brighter future." ”

And some Lakers fans who once supported Shaquille O'Neal said: "Shaq's dominance is visible to the naked eye, and it is clear that the Lakers made another wrong decision after letting go of Qiao Hai." ”

……

On the second day of the regular season, the game between the Bobcats and the Wizards is about to begin.

Before the game began, Wizards coach Eddie Jordan said in front of reporters: "In the past few seasons, it has been difficult for my team to beat Joe's team, but this time, we have a good chance. ”

"Compared to the Bobcats, we have Gilbert, Antoine, and Larry (Hughes), our lineup is stronger, and the Bobcats' lineup is too poor, I admit that Qiao Hai's coaching strength is very strong, but his strength can't make up for our strength to crush them, although this game has not yet started, but there is no suspense."

……

On the other hand, Qiao Hai was also interviewed by some media.

In response to Eddie Jordan's pre-match remarks, Qiao Hai responded: "Eddie showed his honest side, because he admitted that my coaching ability is better than him, but at the same time, he is the same as those coaches who like to talk big, every one of them is saying, how strong I am, the next game, we will win, but what I want to say is that no matter how strong a team is, it is possible to lose the game. ”

"So, before the game started, all the talk that we were sure we could win was wrong."

……

Before the game, the head coaches of the two teams had a confrontation, and Eddie Jordan voluntarily admitted that he was not as good as Joe, which also became an interesting story on the game day.

But on Qiao Hai's side, he is not very confident in this game.

He already had an idea of the specific tactical play.

There's not much to say about the offense, and for the sake of victory, he will definitely put Anfernee Hardaway on the pitch and keep the starting lineup attacking smoothly.

Defensively, it's a big problem.

As soon as Gilbert Arenas broke out, he could take out a Bobcats team by himself, but this Bobcats didn't have an outside one-on-one defense to kill Arenas' players, and this game was difficult.

Antoine Jamison on the inside had a season slump with the Mavericks, but Joe knew that Jamison should not be underestimated because of this, this is an all-round scorer, and Josh Smith can follow Jamison.

But if the outside line can't guard Arenas, then the role of preventing Jamison is not so great.

Therefore, in the end, Qiao Hai still decided that the defense only played a simple infinite change of defense, as long as the defense was in place and Gilbert Arenas was not given the opportunity to shoot easily, there was still a little chance in this game.

……

On Nov. 4, 19,000 fans poured into Charlotte Coliseum, and the entire arena was filled with fans.

The Bobcats made their first official appearance, and their appearance ceremony began at this moment.

"Let's start by welcoming our Frontguard Swingman! Andrei Iguodala! ”

The Bobcats don't have a deep fan base in Charlotte, but because the Hornets left Charlotte decisively, and the Bobcats settled in Charlotte in this situation, it can be regarded as winning the hearts of some fans to a certain extent.

So, when the Bobcats players came out one by one, the cheers from the scene were higher and higher.

In the end, Qiao Hai appeared, and the cheers reached the highest chao.

"Charlotte fans expressed their welcome to Qiao Hai, perhaps because Qiao Hai has led three different teams to win the championship in the past six years, such a strong record, so that Charlotte fans believe in Qiao Hai extremely much."

"They feel that this new local team is likely to have a brilliant start in Qiao Hai's hands."

On the commentary seat, McBrin analyzed.

After the ceremony, the two teams made their starts.

"Let's start with the starting lineup of the home Bobcats, a team made up of 29 other teams with players outside the rotation."

Marf Albert looked inside the court: "The point guard should be Steve Blake, the backup point guard for the Wizards last season, the shooting guard Michael Reed, the sixth man for the Grizzlies last season, and many people are optimistic that he can average 20 points per game this season." ”

"The small forward is the veteran Anfernee Hardaway, and it's amazing that Anfernee Hardaway is playing in a new position, but Anfernee Hardaway has been doing well in his new position in the preseason, and his performance should be worth looking forward to."

"On the inside, the big forward starts with Tony Kukoc, and the center starts Tang Zhendong."

"For the Wizards, the starting five are Gilbert Arenas, Larry Hughes, Jarvis Hayes, Antoine Jamison and Brandon Haywood."

Then, the game began.

"At the beginning of the game, Tang Zhendong and Brandon Hywood's jump ball, Brandon Haywood had a huge advantage, and it went directly to basketball, and the Wizards started to attack."

The Wizards opened the game first, and Arenas quickly passed the half with the ball.

At the beginning, the Wizards played a wave of fast offense, Gilbert Arenas singled Steve Blake, and after the strong burst, the Bobcats also accurately forced the change of defense.

After the change, Arenas passed the ball to an open Jarvis Hayes.

The Bobcats were a step slower to change their guards, and Jarvis Hayes shot directly, bang, and hit the iron.

In the backcourt, Tang Zhendong stuck inside and grabbed the rebound.

The Bobcats' offense, Steve Blake also dribbled through two crotch dribbles, shook off Gilbert Arenas' on-the-spot defense, and the fast second generation advanced to the frontcourt.

As soon as he arrived in the front court, Blake immediately found Tang Zhendong at the top of the arc, a single block, and after dismantling, Datang directly inserted into the penalty area.

After receiving the ball from Steve Blake, Datang received the ball, jumped and threw it, and scored easily.

With a bang, the scene was immediately filled with cheers.

"Tang Zhendong scored the first regular season goal in the history of the Bobcats, a single block was dismantled and thrown, and he successfully scored!"
