Half a month of pre-season training has passed almost in a blink of an eye, and the team's joint training can only be said to have some initial results, and there are still many situations that have not yet been fully sorted out, but the pre-season has arrived.

The NBA is like that, always giving players plenty of time to rest, but once the season starts, the time can get very tight and the schedule will be so tight that it's overwhelming. And the reason why the rebuilding team is not favored is because the run-in time is too short.

A team with a big change of blood has to go through at least half a season of running-in to see what the strength is, and such as Magic, a team that changes from head to toe, from starters to substitutes are all new players, the outside world agrees that they need to run in for two or three seasons.

The trend of gambling events has not completely passed, thanks to this, the Magic team has received far more attention than the average rebuilding team, so on October 8, the Magic's first preseason game against the Hawks still attracted a lot of attention, at least Sina will broadcast the whole game in China.

At seven o'clock in the evening, when Atlanta was just lit up, the Phillips Arena was noisy, although it was only a preseason game, but the Eagles fans were beyond imagination, the stadium that can accommodate more than 18,000 people was almost full, the game had not yet started, just the introduction of the home players, it attracted the crowd in the audience.

The enthusiasm of Hawks fans is not difficult to understand, because the Hawks have also undergone major changes this summer, and the older generation of Hawks is also known as Joe Singles. Johnson has left the team, but the team has also been strengthened, and a large number of new players have arrived, including Kevin Brown, the league's top three-point sharpshooter who is still in his prime. Korver, this guy's three-point shooting percentage is quite terrifying, especially during the Jazz period, and the three-point shooting rate in one season actually exceeded 50%.

In addition to this, there is also the German . Harris and Louis. Williams and others joined.

Therefore, despite the departure of the Hawks, the outside world is still very optimistic about the Hawks, and commentators agree that the Hawks' results in the new season may be further improved, because it is not only the reinforcement of new players, but also the young players within the team have grown up, Al Horford and Teague have become the mainstay of the team, and everyone believes in Josh. Smith, the all-around warrior, will be the new Eagles and carry the team forward.

This game is also the first official game coached by Chen An, unlike the narrow venue of the Summer League, in this huge stadium, listening to the chanting of more than 10,000 people, in the wave after wave of sound, Chen An's heart also contracted involuntarily, and the nervousness gradually spread.

Chen An knew that it would not work like this, so during the singing of the national anthem, the players and fans sang the American national anthem, and Chen An lowered his head and silently sang the Chinese national anthem!

"Arise, you who do not want to be slaves..."

Lao Tzu is also going to get up today, so let this game be my first step in conquering the NBA!

The national anthem injected strength into Chen An, and when the national anthem was over, the nervous expression on his face was gone, the cold sweat on his forehead was gone, and the whole person became calm again. Then the starters started to play.

The Magic are still the established policy, with Harden, Lillard, Harris, Anderson and J.J. Hickson.

The starting lineup on the Hawks' side is Horford, Josh. Smith, Korver, Lowe and Jeff. Teague.

Honk!

With a whistle, the referee threw the ball high into the sky, and in an instant, JJ Hickson jumped up like a spring on his foot, and the bouncing Horford couldn't keep up at all, his foot just left the ground, and the ball was pointed to his backcourt by Hickson, Lillard received the ball and dribbled two steps forward, and passed the ball in Harden's eyes.

In order to balance the relationship between the two, Chen An finally chose to hand over the ball to Harden for the first three rounds after the opening, after that, Harden and Lillard took turns to handle the ball until about 7 minutes in the first quarter, Lillard rested, and Harden led the team to play the first quarter.

It's just that Harden is a guy who makes people angry when they think about it. The training intensity of the preseason training camp is actually not large, Chen An deliberately controlled the training intensity in order to keep the players in an ideal physical condition, through the feedback of the health system, the physical fatigue of most players is below 10, but the physical fatigue of Harden has never been below 20, and even at the beginning of today's game, this guy's physical fatigue has soared to 30, and the ghost knows where he went last night.

After Harden got the ball, he dribbled with one hand and swung with the other, allowing his teammates to start running, Lillard also ran, Lillard is a rookie after all, far above Harden in tactical discipline and running enthusiasm, as soon as he saw Harden's tactical gestures, he quickly fell to the bottom left corner, Anderson fell to the bottom right corner, Harris responded on the oblique side, and JJ. Hixon pulled out to prepare to block and dismantle. It's still the same old thing, and it's also the tactic that Harden and Lillard are most familiar with.

JJ. Hickson is faster than Horford, so after he pulled out and successfully blocked Harden's defender, Harden got rid of the way that defended him, and in the face of Horford, who came over the defense, the beard made a rhythm change through the shaking of his shoulder, and then leaned on Horford from the left side and rushed into the restricted area, through physical confrontation, this guy took three steps directly, stumbled, held the basketball with his left hand, and hooked Horford's arm with his right hand to score the ball.

With a big snack and scoring through physical confrontation layups, this is Harden's forte, because he is strong enough, but Chen An didn't expect that Harden had already comprehended his ultimate meaning - making fouls.

Honk.

At the same time as the ball fell into the basket, the referee's whistle blew, and Harden made a beautiful start to the game with 2+1.

Horford looked innocent and ran to the referee to yell at him, saying that this guy hooked my arm, not me. But the referee didn't listen, and the fouls were all awarded, what is there to say?

Chen An was happy on the sidelines. To be honest, as we all know, Harden's strongest weapon is to make fouls, so this guy also got the title of "Magneto" and "Master of Yideng", and in the end, the league paid special attention to him, so that the referee paid special attention to his fouls. Chen An also disliked Harden because of this in his previous life, and felt that this guy had touched porcelain too much.

But no matter what, how many times in the Rockets' game did Harden bite the score point by point when they were anxious, retaining the hope of a comeback? And today's Magic team is a rebuilding team, and it is foreseeable that there will be various difficulties in the run-in period, which may be reflected in the scoring drought in the game, defensive collapse, etc., but with Harden, in the case of the game being anxious and the team is unable to score for a long time, this guy's ability to make fouls is like a lifesaver.

So Chen Anle is happy, although he used to dislike Harden in his heart, but now that he has become Harden's coach, he even thinks maliciously in his heart: tremble, Magneto is coming!
