29 Opening Spotlight

On October 26, 2016, Beijing time, the regular season of the NBA2016~2017 season will officially start. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

On the first day of match, there will be three games, including last season's Finals opponents the Cavaliers and Warriors. The three games are the Cleveland Cavaliers vs. the New York Knicks, the Portland Trail Blazers vs. the Utah Jazz, and the Golden State Warriors vs. the San Antonio Spurs.

In these three games, in terms of focus, it is naturally a strong dialogue between the Golden State Warriors and the San Antonio Spurs.

Golden State Warriors, in recent seasons, the hottest team in the NBA, leading the 3-point trend, the "Death Five" made the league tremble, after missing the championship last season, in the offseason, the introduction of "the second person in the league" Kevin Durant, forming a "luxury Big Four" horror lineup, the new season is back, aiming for the championship!

San Antonio Spurs, a team that has continued to maintain strong team competitiveness for 20 years, after losing the team's soul "Shifo" in the offseason, although the overall strength on paper has declined, but the addition of Gasol and others, coupled with Popovich's sitting, they are still one of the favorites to win the championship in the new season.

Therefore, the showdown between these two powerhouses is definitely an earth-shattering collision.

………………

The Spurs arrived in Oakland a day earlier, and the whole team knew how tricky the opening game would be, so instead of the relaxed atmosphere of the previous training, the team was filled with the solemnity of the big game.

Jin Feng's heart is apprehensive, his NBA debut against the strongest team in NBA history, although he knows that in such a game, as a fringe player of the team, he may not be able to get the opportunity to play.

However, such an experience is definitely one of the scenes worth remembering throughout his NBA career.

One day ago, that is, on October 25, all the Spurs confirmed to stay in the team and took a group photo of the team in the training hall, and then the team officially released the team lineup for the new season: Kawhi Leonard, Aldridge, Pau Gasol, Tony Parker, Danny Green, Patty Mills, Manuginobili, Jonathan Simmons, Kyle Anderson, Davis Bertans, Jin Feng, Dejounte Murray, Bryn Forbes, Dwyandadmon!

Jin Feng was very excited, he could be a part of it.

In the first game of the new season, the Spurs were not fully played, and Danny Green continued to miss the game due to injury, in fact, Danny Green not only missed this game, but he will miss the first 20 games of the regular season.

Danny Green's absence is a big loss for the Spurs, after all, as one of the top five 3-and-D players in the NBA at the moment, he is an important part of the team both offensively and defensively.

In the morning of the team's tactical training session, Popovich put Kyle Anderson, who had a good season last season, into the main lineup for training, and it looks like Popovich intends to fill Danny Green's place in the upcoming game against the Warriors.

……………

Obviously, the strong dialogue between the Spurs and the Warriors has attracted a lot of attention, and it is also the first game of the new NBA broadcast in the United States.

National live streaming refers to matches broadcast live on ESPN, TNT, and ABC. NBATV games can also be considered nationally streamed, but because NBATV subscribers are relatively small and it is not yet known which game will be voted by fans, some teams will not count them before the game starts.

Oakland, Golden State, the Warriors' home arena, Oracle Arena, is 20 minutes before the start of the Warriors vs. Spurs game.

ESPN commentators Hubie Brown, Jeff Van Gundy, and Mark Jackson, who were in charge of the live broadcast of the game, have already taken their seats, waiting for the game to start, and at the same time, they are also expressing their opinions on the process of this game, the key to both sides, and the result of the game.

The first to make a comment was former Warriors head coach Mark Jackson, who was a little excited at the moment, and it could be seen that returning to the home court of the team he used to work for to explain the game was a congratulatory thing for him.

Mark Jackson: The Warriors brought in Kevin in the offseason, which made the team's roster upgrade for the new season very obvious, especially the starting lineup, I don't think there is a more luxurious starting team in the league than the Warriors.

Hubie Brown : We have to admit that the Warriors are definitely the favorites to win the championship in the new season, but they still have a lot of work to do before that, and they have big problems with their bench lineup and interior lineup.

………………

In the away locker room, Popovich looked serious, clapped his hands, and gathered everyone's attention.

"Guys, it's going to be a tough game, it's going to be a tough game for the Warriors, and obviously we don't want to mess it up on our home turf in our debut, but what I want to tell you is that all summer there was talk about San Antonio's new season and things like that, and I think people should forget about that and remember, we have what it takes to take the game here..."

Popovich then announced the starting lineup for the game: point guard Tony Parker, scoring guard Kyle Anderson, small forward Kawhi Leonard, power forward Aldridge, and center Pau Gasol.

Sure enough, Kyle Anderson took Danny Green's place and started the game.

A few minutes later, the lights of the Oracle Arena dimmed, and as the home team, the Warriors took the lead, playing one after another to the loud broadcast of the live DJ and the screams and cheers of many home fans in the field, Livingston, Iguodala, Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant, Draymond Green, ......... Zazapachulia!

Then it was the visiting Spurs who came out, and it was clear that the crowd was much quieter than the DJs and the cheers of the fans.

The first to come out was Pau Gasol, followed by Aldridge...... Without exception, the Spurs players' appearances were booed wildly by the home fans.

On the one hand, he is just a role player, and he is not "qualified" to be booed by the home fans at all, on the other hand, there are many fans wearing the No. 24 Spurs jersey in the stands.

After the start of the new season, the final lineups of the NBA teams were almost determined, and the only Chinese player who stayed in the NBA to play was Jin Feng.

Yi Jianlian got a contract with the Lakers before, and he thought he would stay, but in the end he returned to the CBA, and Zhou Qi and Wang Zhelin did not immediately get the call of the NBA.

Therefore, Jin Feng has become another Chinese player to play in the NBA since Yi Jianlian left the NBA in 2013.

So, naturally, Chinese fans are pinning their hopes on Jin Feng, and in this game, many Chinese and Chinese fans came to the Oracle Arena to cheer for Jin Feng, although they know that Jin Feng may not get the opportunity to play.

But there are always dreams, what if they come true?
