Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Rockets vs. the Lakers in the opener

In fact, Chinese fans are very reluctant, but there is nothing they can do if they are reluctant, and they will not stay for it.

On the second day of the game, the Cavaliers and Rockets players had boarded their planes back to the United States, and the regular season was next for them.

And so the days passed. It's getting closer and closer to the start of the regular season.

The day before the start of the regular season, the Pistons and the Nuggets completed a blockbuster trade for Iverson and Pus.

In this deal, the Nuggets traded three for Iverson to get the likes of Puss, McDeis and Cheksambu from the Pistons.

Iverson changed owners again, from the 76ers to the Nuggets, and from the Nuggets to Motor City.

McDyce in this deal, who does not want to play for the Nuggets, may choose to buy out, and the Nuggets will also likely give up his physical examination, McDyes's contract for the next two years has reached 13.8 million, and the Nuggets want to be less than this number, I don't know what will happen to the two sides in the end.

For this trade, there is no doubt that the most hurtful is Billups, he brought a championship trophy to this team, but the team eventually traded him, but now Iverson can bring how to help the Pistons? This is what everyone is questioning now.

This trade is just the rhythm before the start of the regular season, and what kind of trade will happen after that? Now many teams are moving, and each team has realized the shortcomings of their team after the pre-season and wants to strengthen it, but the chips are always a problem.

There won't be a stupid* deal that falls on your head, and you don't want to give up this player and that player, how to get the player you want, but if you give up, the team's problems will come out again, so there is no perfect team in the league, more or less there will be a little deficiency and weakness, it's up to you to cover it up.

The Cavaliers will be training intensively, and they don't want to participate in the trade market, because they think their roster is already very good, and the Cavaliers don't have that chip when they trade stars, so they can only make minor repairs.

The Cavaliers' first regular game will be played on the road the day after tomorrow against the Celtics, who have a big three, and this game is undoubtedly a very good game, can James get revenge?

It is also a test of the strength of the Cavaliers' lineup, after all, the preseason is only a preseason, and the regular season is the real game, and no one will retain their strength.

And Huang Jun is very excited about the upcoming regular season, so he let himself prove himself from the first game, proving that the Chinese defenders are not impossible, but you just don't see it.

Huang Jun has been training very hard during this time, far exceeding the amount of training before, and his determination can be imagined.

Huang Jun is still a little sad that Iverson was traded, Iverson is a player he has liked since he was a child, it can be said that he is his idol, Iverson's persistence, the spirit of not giving up is his goal of learning, and the belief he set for himself is the same, never have the word give up in his body.

Since the first game of the regular season starts the day after tomorrow, the coach also intends to increase the training volume today, but before the training Brown promised them to rest tomorrow, then train the morning after tomorrow, and then start the game in the evening.

In the first game of the new season, Mike Brown did not want to end in failure, he is very confident in the Cavaliers' lineup this year, which can be said to be unprecedented, and it can be said that the most confident one.

This year's regular season opener was very surprising, it was not the Celtics and the Lakers, but the Rockets and the Lakers, which really surprised everyone, and everyone thought that the regular season opener might be the result but came here.

Time flew by again, and it was the night of the Rockets' game against the Lakers.

Maybe the league doesn't arrange for the Celtics to play against the Lakers, and maybe they don't want the Lakers to see their opponents take the championship ring right under their noses, that's the only explanation.

Of course, this is considered from Kobe's point of view, Kobe Bryant is a superstar in this league, and a little privilege should be deserved, a star whistle or something.

No matter what industry, there will be no absolute fairness, the rules are only for the weak to follow, and the strong can make exceptions. No matter where you are, you will respect the strong, and this will never change.

The opening game against the Rockets vs. the Lakers, this game was broadcast live in the United States, and of course China was also broadcast live, there is no doubt about it. And the Cavaliers vs. Celtics, the central five sets will also be broadcast, it can be said that there are Chinese teams The central five sets will be broadcast, unless you play superstars at the same time, there is no way, but there are also other TV stations that broadcast other games, both are correct.

And the game between the Rockets and the Lakers, the Chinese are also very concerned.

Because the Rockets have Yao Ming in them, and the Lakers have two Chinese guards, Zeng Yu and Sun Yue.

Yao Ming has proven himself, and Zeng Yu and Sun Yue have not, so Chinese fans are also these two rookies, and they are most concerned about Zeng Yu, the first person in college before, and there is no doubt that there is a lot of focus.

Huang Jun also sat in front of the TV to watch this game, and he was also eager to see how Zeng Yu performed, as well as the not very familiar Sun Yue.

Zeng Yu performed very well in the three games of the preseason, and there is no problem in winning playing time for himself in the new season, although the Lakers have Fisher, but Fisher is already going downhill, and it is up to Zeng Yu to seize the opportunity.

In the three preseason games, Zeng Yu averaged eleven points and five assists per game, and it was not easy for Zeng Yu, who came off the bench, to get such statistics.

Sun Yue, who is also Chinese, obviously did not have the attention of Zeng Yulai, and Sun Yue's performance in the preseason can be said to be not very good, playing an average of fifteen minutes per game, and only getting five points and two assists.

Obviously, Sun Yue's prospects are not optimistic, and whether he can win playing time in the new season will be the goal he needs to work on, and he also needs opportunities.

As the whistle blew, the game between the Rockets and the Lakers officially began, and Bynum jumped the ball without question.

Fisher received the ball, handed it directly to Kobe Bryant in the first half, and the first ball was handed over to the team's boss to execute, which is recognized.

Kobe Bryant holds the ball, Artest defends Kobe, Artest's defense will make Kobe feel very uncomfortable, and the discomfort is not once or twice, but many times, and Artest has also had many quarrels and almost fights between Kobe.

Kobe really hates Atai in front of him, it's just a hooligan defensive method, but Kobe is helpless, very depressed,

Kobe Bryant turned his back directly against Artest, and at the beginning, Kobe wanted to use his first offense to single Artest with his back to the unsolvable stunt.

Artest stood up to Kobe Bryant behind his back, and Kobe turned around with continuous feints, but Artest still didn't fall for Kobe.

But Kobe Bryant was not in a hurry, one and a half turned around, one was shaky, Artest was finally fooled, was lit up, and then Kobe Bryant directly hit Artest's body, and at the same time threw the ball in his hand, and the referee's whistle sounded without any accidents.

At the same time, Kobe Bryant also threw this ball in, which is a two-plus-one.

Kobe Bryant added free throws without any surprises, and two plus one hit.

On the Rockets' side, Maddy holds the ball to face Kobe's defense. Kobe Bryant is also very good defensively, see if Kobe can defend against this ball?

Maddie tried to step, and then changed direction to break through, but Kobe was still in front of Maddy, it can be seen that Maddie did not give Kobe Bryant, although Kobe is not a defensive expert, and he is not as good as Artey and Battier on the defensive end, but the defensive end is not something that anyone can explode if they want to.

Maddie saw that Kobe was still sticking to himself, and then directly retreated, retreated to outside the three-point line, and pulled out a three-point shot, Kobe Bryant predicted that Maddie might attack when he first saw Maddy retreat, but he didn't expect that he would choose to pull out and pounce over, but it was too late, Maddy's ball had already left his hand, and Kobe didn't cover it, so he could only look back at the ball and pray that the ball would not go in.

It's just that apparently God didn't listen to Kobe's prayers, and the ball fell into the net bag steadily, and the crisp sound spread throughout the court, but because this is the home court of the Lakers, there was no cheering or anything, but there was a little bit of boos.

The next two sides played very well, until the end of the first quarter with three minutes left, Zeng Yu replaced Fisher and Kobe Bryant in the backcourt.

Kobe Bryant is still very optimistic about this Chinese guard, and seeing Zeng Yu playing, Kobe smiled at him, as if encouraging.

Zeng Yu also smiled in return.

At this time, the Lakers temporarily led the Rockets by five points at 2-15, and the only pity was that the Rockets replaced Yao Ming on the court, otherwise they would have been able to see Zeng Yu and Yao Ming competing on the court at the same time.

Although it's a bit regrettable, fans still think that there will be time, after all, this is only the first quarter, as long as Zeng Yu performs well, nothing is a dream.

Sun Yue sat on the bench in his team uniform, and there was no joy or sadness in his eyes.

And Zeng Yu's performance in the next game really did not disappoint those Chinese fans who supported him, he was very powerful, and the cooperation with Kobe Bryant was also very powerful, and he couldn't give others the feeling that this was a rookie, just a rookie. Zeng Yu is very experienced in his game, and he has improved a lot in the offseason.

It's just that everyone's eyes are focused on Huang Jun, the top star, and Zeng Yu is completely ignored, and no one pays attention to how a rookie performs at the end of the first round.

I'm afraid that except for Chinese fans, it is estimated that no one else will pay attention to him, but this is not necessarily a bad thing for Zeng Yu, playing under the lights, some people can't stand it, and the pressure is also very great.

Zeng Yu came on the court with three minutes left in the first quarter, and in those three minutes, Zeng Yu showed people who didn't know him the potential in him, and in three minutes, Zeng Yu had a wonderful performance of three points, three assists and one steal.

The stats are not good, but it's only done in just three minutes, and if it's counted as thirty-six minutes, it's a horrific stat, thirty-six and thirty-six assists, of course it's impossible.
