Chapter 36: The First Regular Season

ps: It was not Robinson, the big dog, who defeated Ewing to become the new core of the Knicks, as mentioned earlier, but Alan Houston I am mistaken, I'm sorry, I hereby correct it, I beg your pardon, and I accidentally sent out chapter thirty-seven just now, in front of chapter thirty-five, just pay attention to it when you read it. I erupted. Seeing that these few days are not very good. I hope you will support us. Thank you. The surface is the body text.

The Philadelphia 76ers have also finalized their official twelve-man roster.

Allen Iverson, defender, jersey No. 3.

Eric Snow, defender, jersey No. 20.

Ben Wallace, center, number 9 (occupy the jersey number of the little AI).

Theo Ratliff, center, No. 50.

Tyrone Hill, power forward, No. 18.

Aaron McGee, defender, No. 8.

Jumanny Jones, Swingman, No. 16.

George Lynch, small forward, No. 17.

Michael Reid, Defender, No. 22.

Brian Cardinal, Forward, No. 35.

Ragabel, defender, number 19.

And, of course, there's our protagonist – Luke Wharton, the striker (for now), number 1.

Of course, each NBA team has more than 12 players. So there will be some fringe players. For example, Pepe Sanchez (an Argentine defender who looks a lot like Ginobili), McCulkey (the white center who pushed Luke), Nazr Mohammed, and Toni Kukoc (all of these players are good).

This team is made up of these people for the time being. They will be teammates for the next nine months competing for the NBA's highest honor, the O'Brien Cup.

And their first opponent of the new season is the New York Knicks. This is a memorable day. It was Luke's first official game in the NAB League, and it was at Madison Square Garden in New York, home of the Knicks. There have been many records in this holy place (most of them in the background of New York) that players dream of coming to (the money is a stupid sign of the team, which is very suitable for retirement). And it was the opening race of the 2000-2001 season.

It's a great team with two championships (know why Phil Jackson became the man with the most championship rings in NBA history after the 2009-2010 season?). In addition to the Bulls' six championships and the Lakers' five championships, he received two championship rings with the Knicks when he was a player, so there were later rumors that Phil would return to the Knicks to coach this is based). Of course, more often than not, it is the background, for example, the 100% great achievement of "Big Beidou" Chamberlain was taken off the head of the Knicks.

This year, the team left behind the former pride of the team - "Gorilla" Ewing, they sent away the former outside core - John Starks and put the former backup Charlie Ward in the starting line-up, and they also have super bouncer "Big Mom" Larry Johnson, "Mid-range Pitcher" "H2O" (I don't know why it has this title) - Alan Houston, plus Marcus Camby, Kurt Thomas, and Ratrell Sprewell. This giant team has the strength to make the Eastern Conference playoffs (the championship can't think of it, there are sharks).

"Alright, boys." Larry said in the visiting locker room in New York, "This is how the Knicks are going this year, are you ready?" ”

"It's been ready for a long time." Allen, the leader of the team, was the first to speak, "I've been ready to go up and take their butts for them." ”

"Hahahaha," there was no tension in the locker room, and it turned out that what Allen was doing was to decompress the rookies.

"Alright," Larry told everyone to stop, "I'll now announce today's starting lineup: guards Snow and Allen, forward Luke Tyrone, center ......" Larry looked at Big Ben, but said anyway, "Center Theo." ”

There were different performances in the dressing room, Theo Ratliff was very excited, while Big Ben was a little down, he thought he had impressed the manager in these few games, but ......

"It's okay," said Luke, who was sitting next to him, "it's the first game, and anyone has a chance to play. Wait a minute, we're going to put on a beautiful set. ”

"Hmm." Big Ben now believes in this man who is younger than him, and always feels that there is some kind of magic in him that makes him believe unconditionally (domineering side leakage?). )。

"Go, go, go, boys, it's time to play!" Larry clapped his hands and shouted.

“go!” The players shouted and ran out of the locker room.

The game is about to begin.

"This is TNT Studios, and I'm your dearest narrator, Sir Charles Buckley. Sitting next to me was my old partner and good friend Kenny Smith. Say hello to everyone. ”

"Hi, I'm Kenny." Smith said.

"Today is October 31, 2000. On the first day of the NBA, there were 13 games in total. What follows is a brief introduction.

The defending champion Lakers, led by O'Neal and Kobe Bryant, will play their Western Conference Finals rivals Trail Blazers on the road for the first time.

Thomas, the "Smiling Assassin" who had just become the head coach of the Pacers, made his debut in San Antonio against the 1998-99 champion Spurs, which was clearly a test for Thomas. However, the real test for Thomas is on November 28, when the Pacers will win their final opponent last season, the Lakers, and Bird and the Lakers will win six games, and it is unknown what Thomas can do. On November 11, the Pacers will host the Pistons that Thomas has fought for 12 years, and four days later, the Pacers will visit Detroit to challenge the Pistons.

The Magic, with Granger Hill and Mike Grady, are destined to get off to a flying start, and their first game will be against the underdogs Wizards.

The opening game was played against the 76ers and the Knicks at Madison Square Garden in New York, the home of the Knicks. We'll see how the 76ers' AI and Luke fit together, while Knicks veteran Ewing has decided to play for another three years. This game is a contest between offense and defense, and I believe that people will come to a conclusion at that time.

What we're seeing now is the season's opener, the Knicks vs. the 76ers......"

"Alright, alright, Charles, don't say any more," said Kenny, who was sitting on the sidelines, "and the audience in front of the TV is going to fall asleep." ”

"Where?" Barkley said, "Why didn't I see that? ”

"Uh...... It's strange when you see it! Kenny thought to himself.

But everyone was amused by Barkley's trick.

"Okay, okay, let's stop talking nonsense, let's cut the camera to the playing field." Barkley put away his posture of playing treasure, and said "one tightly".

"Hahaha......" But everyone was amused by his action again.

But it wasn't so fun on the field. Everyone is actively preparing and no one wants to lose the first game of the tournament.

The game is about to begin.
