Ginobili came on, Joe Hay was replaced by Michael Reid and Rasione Estrovic at the same time, letting Reid play the No. 3 position, Sean Marion went to the No. 4 position, and Rasian Nestrovic played center.

The game resumes.

Billups continued to control the tempo, but the ball was in the hands of Manu, and Mark Jones in the commentary bench continued to introduce Ginobili.

"Manuginobili played in the Los Angeles Summer League, he was also the leading scorer in the Los Angeles Summer League, averaging 24.8 points per game and 7.8 assists.

Mark Jones is a big admirer of Manuginobili.

When the game started, Ginobili took the ball and burst one, threw it in the middle distance, and with a bang, scored!

The GM arena immediately cheered for the Argentine from Europe, and Mark Jones also shouted: "Beautiful mid-range throwing, Manu doesn't need to adapt to his NBA career!" The first goal of the opening game was scored! ”

16:8,8 points difference.

Supersonic offense, the ball is given to Weinbeck, Weinbeck is singled inside, Ewing is still there, and a big hat is directly fanned.

The Grizzlies defended this wave of offense.

Turning his head, Ginobili used another European step to score two more points.

After Ginobili played, he scored 4 points in a row, and his performance surprised everyone, and Qiao Hai was also happy.

Byron Scott had some doubts: "Joe, Manu is doing so well, just give him a start." ”

Qiao Hai shook his head: "Manu is more suitable to play the sixth man, and he can play a bigger role as a substitute." ”

Byron Scott still had doubts, but Qiao Hai said so, and he didn't know how to ask.

Qiao Hai's idea is simple, the starter can use dual control, or Michael Reed, or even Stephen Jackson, and a super sixth man like Manu can only come off the bench and play his role in the bench time.

Ginobili scored 4 points in a row, and the supersonic quickly discovered that this unknown long-haired boy was a little weird, breaking through the enchanting, European step is even more enchanting, he can shoot in any position, and the shooting posture is also varied, throwing, layup, backward jumper, and even backward step jumper, anything can be played.

After scoring consecutive points and creating a threat on the offensive end, the SuperSonics strengthened their defense against Ginobili.

Then, the supersonic found that a simple bag clip does not seem to be able to limit Ginobili, because Ginobili can also pass the ball in any position!

And Ginobili's passing is very demonic, always passing the ball unexpectedly, and unexpectedly giving the ball to the Grizzlies' vacant players.

Then, the Grizzly Bears' offense is alive!

In the second half of the first quarter, Billups controlled the tempo, Ginobili opened the offense, and the Grizzlies suddenly opened up the difference.

In six minutes of play, Ginobili grabbed nine points and three assists, and the Grizzlies also led the SuperSonics by 14 points at 32:18 at the end of the first quarter.

The game went well, and Ginobili's outburst was both surprising and expected, surprising everyone, with Mark Jones even saying, "With Tracy out injured, we have another super shooting guard, Manu Ginobili is so good!" It's hard to imagine that he's a scoring guard from Europe! ”

On NBC's commentary bench, McBrin and Marv Albert analyzed Ginobili's outburst from a more professional perspective.

"It's surprising and surprising, the Grizzlies still have such a god-level scoring guard on the bench, breaking, projecting, passing, omnipotent, the opening game to the present, Manuginobili wearing the Grizzly Bears No. 20 jersey has shown his jump shot, showed his European step, showed his various breakthroughs and passes, full of imagination......"

In this way, the NBA debut of the demon knife Manuginobili, from the moment he appeared, he conquered a group of people!

In the second quarter, Qiao Hai continued to let Manu play, but the point guard who partnered with Manu was replaced by Mike Bibby, Reid continued to play small forward, the big forward was rough, and the center was Rasiunestrovich.

After a change of teammates, Ginobili still performed well.

But Mike Bibby hit made Qiao Hai frown: "When did Mike become so sticky?" ”

Byron Scott shook his head: "I don't know. ”

"It's not a good thing......" Qiao Hai shook his head.

After more than three minutes in the second quarter, Mike Bibby was still not very efficient and very sticky to the ball, and after thinking about it, he called Steve Kerr directly from the bench: "Steve, get ready to play, replace Mike." ”

After thinking about it, he called Rahim again: "Sharif, you also go to the technical desk to prepare, replace Lacheux, and let Wang play center." ”

With such a substitution, the court is still a dual-core, Ginobili Galahim, and the Grizzlies can still maintain a strong offensive end.

On the defensive end, Ewing was not on the court, relying on the overall defense, the Grizzlies still suppressed the superSonics.

This season, the decline of the supersonic speed is indeed a bit big, especially their defense, Wenbeck's cameo center can not play a defensive role at all, Rashad Lewis is also stronger in offense than defense, and Gary Payton is difficult to support alone.

With such a supersonic speed, it is naturally difficult to pose a threat to the grizzly bear.

At halftime, the Grizzlies took a 17-point lead, and everything went smoothly in the opener.

In the end, the Grizzlies won 109-87, with a huge advantage of 22 points, and won the first victory of the 2000-2001 NBA season opener!

At the end of the game, Manuginobili was overtaken by the stars, and in this game, he made a perfect personal debut, scoring 27 points, 8 assists and 2 steals on 11-of-19 shooting! SuperSonics can't limit Ginobili at all, and if it weren't for Qiao Hai's increased rotation, Ginobili only played 26 minutes, and if he could play more time, Ginobili's stats would be even better.

However, for Ginobili, such a debut is already quite perfect.

He was quite excited, and in front of a flickering camera, Ginobili was quite mature and interviewed.

Qiao Hai passed by, smiled, and didn't care, Ginobili was already a 23-year-old and almost 24-year-old rookie, played professional basketball in Italy for two years, and had a lot of experience in facing reporters, so he didn't need to worry about it at all.

Qiao Hai turned around and walked towards the center of the technical table, found SuperSonics head coach Paul Westfaal, and shook hands.

"Congratulations, Joe, your team is as strong as ever."

"Thank you." Qiao Hai thanked him, thought about it, and gave Paul Westfair a reminder: "You guys are also very strong, but Paul, I think you should pay attention to your defense, Wenbeck plays center, and your defense is the bottom of the league......"

Paul Westfale smiled wryly, he couldn't help it, he didn't have any cards in his hand, and it was difficult to change.
