Chapter 275: Beacon Fire Everywhere
Chapter 275 Beacon Fire Everywhere
A total of 26 teams participated in the second day's competition, and although there were many teams in the competition, the topic and excitement were not as attractive as those on the opening day.
The biggest attraction is the matchup between the Timberwolves and the Kings, the core of the two teams meet in a narrow way, and the winner and loser naturally focus the attention of the whole United States here.
The league's top management knows how to operate, and the schedule is arranged with their own thoughts.
The competition between Li Shihao and Tyrek Evans has not stopped for a moment last season, although Li Shihao occupies the lead, but the mouth of the national media has not stopped, the arrogant American media industry believes that the Chinese kid can lead the Timberwolves to achieve a record advantage, a large part of the reason is due to the strength of his teammates, as for the strength of the Chinese kid himself, it is not worth mentioning in their eyes.
Tyrek Evans voted for Rookie of the Year at the end of the season, and many reporters and commentators voted for him.
Although Tyrek Evans has not improved much since he entered the NCAA, and once disappeared from the center of people's attention, in the eyes of many professional basketball people, Tyrek Evans is still the first person in the United States, and his strength is still not to be underestimated even if he has not improved much.
Last season's best rookie was still controversial, and Li Shihao led the team to the second round of the playoffs because of his status as a Chinese player, but those doubts did not decrease much.
This has a lot to do with the problem of racial discrimination in the United States, which has also continued from last season to the present.
As soon as the new season began, the game between the Timberwolves and the Kings was put on the agenda by the league's top management for the first time, and there was no intention to put an end to last season's controversy.
Survival of the fittest, the Chinese kid wins, that is the best rookie deservedly, on the contrary, it is Terrick Evans who took this opportunity to live more attention and support, and took the stage.
David Stern and the management team behind him, who have been at the helm of the NBA league for decades, have taken a once unattended professional league all the way to the point of the four major leagues in the United States.
The NBA league is a commercial league, players are a commodity, for the top executives who dominate the league, every rookie is insignificant, whether there is a chance to become a star or not depends on their own luck and hard work, perhaps, only becoming a superstar like LeBron James will make the league executives pay attention.
Kings fans were looking forward to a summer of expecting their core to prove themselves in the new season, but they didn't want the Sacramento Kings to lose the game in the new season, and it was a big rout.
Under Li Shihao's passing scheduling, the Timberwolves offense was like a tide, and the scenes such as fast attack counterattacks and cutting into violent dunks continued to be staged, but the Kings were blinded, and the game was completely out of suspense in the third quarter, and the Kings, who were 22 points behind, no longer had the heart to fight.
With a huge difference of 22 points, it can be said that there is almost no chance of winning the game, and no matter how hard you struggle, there is no chance.
On the second day of the opener, the 26-team battle burned half of the league red, but the smoke was not amazing.
The Celtics met the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the Royal Cavaliers without "Little Emperor" LeBron James had no room to fight back, and could only accept the boos of the fans in their home stadium.
At this time, Cleveland fans' hatred for LeBron James may have reached its highest point!
After a North Shore Garden rout, the Miami Heat Big Three moved to Philadelphia and finally got a gratifying victory in the 76ers' home base.
In this game, Flash Wade completely went berserk, with 30 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals, killing Philadelphia's restricted area upside down, but it was still difficult to hide the embarrassment of LeBron James.
The little emperor had 16 points, 7 assists, 6 rebounds and 9 turnovers, and almost got a double-double.
The Chicago Bulls in the East faced the Russian City Thunder, and they met strongly, and in the end, it was the Russian City Thunder who had the last laugh, Kevin Durant 30 points, Jeff Green 21 points, Westbrook 28 points, the three started the game, and jointly contributed 79 points, completely burying Derrick Rose's 28-point carry dream.
At this time, Adidas's embarrassment is not shallow, and they are probably concentrating their public relations efforts to try their best to eliminate the impact of the Chicago Bulls' defeat.
The battle between Adidas and Nike is not a day or two, not only are the two sports giants playing each other in the air, but the stars of the two giants are also constantly fighting.
At the start of the new season, the result of losing for a while is not a good sign, and it makes the cautious Germans smell something bad in the air.
On the other side, the Houston Rockets met the Golden State Warriors, Monta Ellis bombed wildly, scored 46 points to lead the Golden State Warriors to defeat the Astronauts 132-128 in overtime, and the team's rising star Stephen Curry also performed very well, with 25 points and 11 assists looking very bright.
In the end, all 13 games ended, a few happy and some worried, and the reinforcement measures of each team in the summer were all showing signs at this time, and whether the chemistry was good or bad can be seen from the game.
For the Minnesota Timberwolves' coaching staff, the time after the game was extremely busy, and although the first game of the new season ended with a hearty victory, there are still many shortcomings and improvements.
The addition of Ariza and a group of rookies has given the team's lineup more deployability and more room for tactics to play, but inevitably, loopholes and shortcomings have also been exposed.
At this time, the coaching staff led by Frank Vogel can be said to be busy and sweaty, often running at both ends of the stadium office, busy, but extremely hot.
At present, the Timberwolves' reinforcement measures in the summer can be said to be successful, upgrading the team's roster in one fell swoop, not only filling the gap after Cory Brewer's departure, but also adding three-point firepower to the Timberwolves' outside line.
Trevo Ariza's three-point technique is good, and he fires from the flanks with a three-point arm, which is simply an anti-aircraft mortar, with accurate crosshair and great lethality.
The new season has begun, and the changes in the Minnesota Timberwolves are visible to everyone, but the future direction is even more confusing! (To be continued.) )
