On October 28, 2017, the 2017-18 NBA regular season kicked off, and the Boston Celtics, the Boston Celtics of Ye Hai, the Chinese player who was the star of the year's list, went to Chicago to challenge the Chicago Bulls. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info Ye Hai will also usher in his first regular season game in the NBA, which can be regarded as his first official game in the NBA league.

At the press conference before the game, a reporter asked Celtics head coach Stevens: "In the new season, do you think about Jack Crowder and Ye Hai, who will be the starting small forward?" ”

It seems that as long as there are Chinese players, 60% of the problems are inseparable from the Chinese players themselves.

Stevens seems to have been prepared, and the young coach who led the Celtics to the playoffs for the third year in a row has shown an extraordinary IQ and ball IQ, as well as a good emotional intelligence when it comes to dealing with the media.

Stevens said: "It's a real happy annoyance, you know, Jack Leod and Ye Hai are the kind of players who have the starting strength, but there is only one starting spot, judging from the performance of the preseason and the summer league, Ye Hai, who just finished the World Youth Championship before this summer, is in better shape, and I think at the beginning of the new season, Ye Hai should be the team's starter." ”

Stevens euphemistically expressed the fact that Yahi became a starter for the Celtics, and at the same time saved face for Jack Crowder.

After being asked how to see the first game of the new season, after all, in the playoffs last season, the Celtics lost to the Chicago Bulls in a tiebreaker.

Faced with this question, Stevens said with a straight face: "It's just one game of the regular season, and there is no denying that a lot of fans want us to get revenge on last season in the first game, but I want to make it clear that we will take this game with a normal heart, even if the opponent is another team, we will still try to win." Every team competes to win, isn't it? ”

While Stevens' answer was unscathing, the Celtics, who suffered a seven-tie break last season, didn't think so at all. In the locker room, Al Horford, who has become the leader of the Celtics, issued a shouting call to mobilize: "In this game, we must wash away the shame of being eliminated last season and let Chicago see how we have changed this summer!" We're going to win! ”

"Oh~~~~" Enthusiastic howls immediately erupted in the locker room. Ye Hai seems to feel like he has returned to the atmosphere of the game when the team participated in the national competition!

The Celtic players are fully prepared for the first game and are just waiting for the game to begin!

The Chicago Bulls ushered in the post-Ross era after the team completely sent away Joakina Noah, Derrick Rose, and Ruhr Deng, who had led the team to the Eastern Conference Finals. The team signed Dwyane Wade last year, as well as selected small forward Denzel Valentine, who excelled in college, and Michael Carter Williams, who was a good point guard, immediately broke into the top four in the East, and defeated the Celtics in the first round of the playoffs to grab 7, only to lose 2-4 to the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

The Bulls mainly focus on the outside attack, and the starting point of the offense almost all starts from the outside, and the inside line hoards Robin Lopez, Taki Gibson, Nikola Mirotic, Bobby Portis and other players, mainly to respond and engineer type inside, Mirotic is the only player with personal offensive ability with the ball, although Pau Gasol went to the Spurs, but the arrival of Wade and Rondo, coupled with the change of tactics, the strength of the Bulls has increased unabated.

Before the start of the game, the two sides announced the names of the starters:

Boston Celtics:

Center: Al Horford, 2.08m;

Power forward: Amir Johnson, 2.06m;

Small forward: Ye Hai, 2.01m;

Shooting guard: Blanton Rush, 1.98m;

Organizational defender: Chris Paul, 1.83m.

Chicago Bulls:

Power forward: Taki Gibson, 2.06m;

Small forward: Jimmy Butler, 2.01m;

Shooting guard: Dwyane Wade, 1.93m;

Organizational defender: Rajon Rondo, 1.85 m.

ESPN commentators took the game very seriously, sending a combination of Charles Barkley and Shaquille O'Neal, who were partnered by Jeff Van Gundy, who has a mentoring relationship with Chinese player Yao Ming.

The combination of Barkley and O'Neill's living treasure brings laughter everywhere, and Van Gundy gives the impression of being serious and serious in comparison. But when the three got together, Van Gundy did not perform any less, and it seems that in the position of coach and commentator, Van Gundy is very capable of switching roles and adapting.

Before the game began, Barkley and O'Neal first laughed at a handful of Van Gundy's hair.

Barkley said: "Shaq, every year I feel like Jeff's hair is missing another ring, but for some reason, Jeff still has a ring of hair on his head that is tenaciously surviving. When will I see Jeff's bald head? ”

O'Neill laughed like a "big shark" and said, "Charlie, you can't wait for that day, because I guess Jeff's hair is fake now, it's just his style." ”

After saying that, the two laughed, and the poor Van Gundy, who was left laughed at, was a little speechless. It seems that not only Barkley, but also the retired Sharks are also enjoying the life of ESPN's commentators.

After introducing the starters on both sides, Barkley's big mouth opened fire again: "Man, did you hear that?" The Chinese player from Boston signed a seven-year, $150 million contract with Nike, oh my God! It's incredible, I mean, he hasn't played a single game yet, so why did he get that treatment just because of a World Junior Championship? ”

O'Neill said: "I think the identity of a Chinese player has brought him more value, because the Chinese market is the sweetheart of all brands, as for the honor? Compared to the World Youth Championships, I approve of the MVP of the Summer League finals, which shows that Ye is at least a good player, Jeff, what do you think? ”

Seeing O'Neal turn his head to stare at him, Van Gundy made a shrug and said, "I don't know much about Ye Hai than you guys, but this summer, I had contact with Yao, and he told me that Ye Hai is one of the best outside players he has ever seen, and I asked him, does the range of players he has seen refer to China?" Yao told me, no, all the players he's seen in his career. ”

Hearing this, Barkley immediately shook his head unconvinced, and said, "I bet that even if Maddie is here now, he can completely blow up this young man from China." ”

O'Neal did not agree with Barkley's statement, but continued: "Except for Yao, no Chinese player can gain a foothold in the NBA after that, and even Yi Jianlian, who has signed a one-year contract extension with the Lakers, is only at the level of the Lakers' 10th or 11th man." ”

"In addition to Ye Hai, there are also three young Chinese players selected this year, and I heard that China's high school league reform has begun to take effect, and the students who play in China now, like the students in the United States, are players who really love basketball. I think maybe Ye Hai will tell us how Chinese basketball has changed in recent years. Van Gundy said.

In the TV screen of the live broadcast room, the starters of both sides have stood on the court, ESPN immediately cut the live camera to the scene, this national live broadcast of the game, can not help but attract the attention of the entire American basketball fans, but also because of the appearance of Chinese player Ye Hai, attracted the excited and expectant eyes of fans from all over China!

The two sides jumped the ball, the game began, Robin Lopez won the ball, the Bulls took the lead in attacking, the first offense, Rajon Rondo passed the ball to the hands of Jimmy Butler standing on the wing, and standing in front of Butler was the Chinese player Ye Hai! (To be continued.) )
