According to the rules, the bosses of the two teams must meet before the start of the game, unless they are mortal enemies. The main thing is to exchange feelings, after all, basketball is a physical confrontation game, easy to stumble and a little friction, the bosses can talk about it to a certain extent, and the probability of this kind of thing happening can be reduced to a certain extent.

The Magic's side was brought over by Francis and Howard, and after the Rockets trade, the rebellious Francis matured a lot.

To be honest, no one really expected the Rockets to make a deal with the Magic. Because the Magic are taking out chips like Maddie, in order to trade with them, you have to have the same hole cards, which means that you have to take out the star of the house. A team will not easily send away its star unless he and the team's top management do create an irreparable rift. For example, Kobe Bryant thought at first that the Lakers would exchange Kobe and Magic for Maddie.

The atmosphere in the Rockets locker room is very good, and the relationship between Yao Ming and Francis is better, such a combination is generally not dismantled, but the Rockets really broke it up, after all, Boss Fergus and Yao Ming really can't play together on the court.

What is the Francis nickname? Privilege! It's a reflection of his style of play, which is that until he's played enough, no one else has a chance to get the ball. Then-Rockets head coach Tom Quickened Norwich and general manager Dawson hated this, and they were bullish on Yao Ming, after all, this is a traditional team with a good interior line. For that reason, Francis, last season's All-Star starting guard, was sent away.

Now Francis is no longer the stunned young man he was in 1999, when he was drafted by the Vancouver Grizzlies in the second round in the first round, and because he hated Vancouver's cold climate, he didn't report for duty, forcing the Grizzlies to trade him to Houston. When he came to the Magic team, he understood his position, this team didn't let him be the boss at all, the real boss was the one next to him, rookie center Dwight. Howard.

Fortunately, after two seasons of getting along with Yao Ming, he has become accustomed to cooperating with strong champions. After hugging Wabbon, Francis briefly said a few polite words and left the scene to Howard.

Hua Ben looked at the little monster carefully, Howard at this time was really a rookie, he was not the Huo family boxing master with a big waist at all, just a big boy with a big skeleton, young and shy, seeing Hua Ben stunned and said: "I will blow you up, you wait for me to kick your ass." ”

This provocative remark, which should have been full of gunpowder, was said by Howard wittily and weakly, and even Francis laughed, and after saying this, Howard himself touched the back of his head and laughed embarrassedly.

Hua Ben 'gently' thumped Howard's chest with his fist and smiled, "Are you serious, rookie?" Okay, then I accept your challenge and welcome to the NBA. ”

Howard grinned back, and Francis smiled helplessly: "You can't do this, Dwight, you have to be fierce, so that you can overwhelm your opponent in momentum." ”

Seeing that Huaben turned around and left, Howard whispered: "Steve, this can't be done, this villain just wounded seven players not long ago, and it is said that Rashid vomited blood, let's be careful." ”

Francis smiled, he liked Howard's surname, and he was better than Yao Ming. However, when I first met Yao Ming, he was the boss of the hard-hitting Rocket Team; At this point, he was just Orlando's second-in-command.

In the first game, Jordan was very serious, and began to mobilize two minutes before the game, 'kill Orlando', 'guard our glory', 'play hard to earn tickets and play girls', from spirit to matter, from God to the world, Jordan muttered a lot, worthy of being a few trash talk masters in the NBA.

The referee blew the whistle, the players went on the field, the fans stood up and cheered for the Bobcats players excitedly, and Huaben's No. 1 jersey on the Bobcats was waved all over the sky like a military flag.

Howard and Oku jumped the ball, and Wajben comforted his teammates: "It's okay, Memet, it's all about participation, it's about participation." ”

Oku is speechless, this is not a jump ball, you think I lost?

In fact, everyone thought he couldn't jump Howard, and rookie Yuan Lang did a very awesome thing in the summer, when the Magic team was practicing openly, he jumped up and kissed the basket, showing his perverted bounce to fans across the United States.

The NBA is worthy of the place where miracles are born, the referee threw the ball, Howard jumped with it, he was too nervous and excited, and directly caused the jump ball violation, so that the Bobcats got the ball bloodlessly.

Oku shrugged his shoulders on serve and said, "I haven't shown my strength yet, it's a pity." ”

Patin got the ball and Francis immediately pressed up to defend. It seems that this trade has taught him a deep lesson, you must know that when he was with the Rockets, Francis was not defensive, or rather, he defended according to his mood, and if he was in a bad mood, he would not defend, and if he was in a good mood, he would defend hard.

Unfortunately, there was no chance for him to perform, and as soon as Patin got the ball, he threw it out from the back of the half, and a long pass came from the other half.

Huaben ran wildly inside, facing the frightened Howard, his face showed a cruel smile, jumped from afar, caught the ball with both hands and glided forward quickly, his arms raised as if grasping the axe, the muscles on his javelin-like straight body were raised, his legs slightly rose to the body of Howard, and he smashed the ball into the hoop on the new champion.

"Bang!" A loud bang was transmitted around the court through the megaphone behind the rebound, and the fans' blood suddenly boiled.

Hua Ben staggered to the ground, he turned around and looked at the little monster who was at a loss, raised his eyebrows and said: "Welcome to the NBA, rookie, this is a gift from the 96 generation of the undrafted to the 04 champions, do you like it?" ”

Howard really wanted to cry without tears, and the big boy would say in his heart: "Mom, I've been ridden, I've been insulted!" ”

Francis went up and patted Howard on the ass and comforted: "It's okay, Dwight, this is the most common thing in the NBA, and you have to play 82 games in a season, who hasn't missed a game?" I'll pass you the ball later, and you'll come back, go ahead. "Boss F, it's a good boss indeed.

Although this dunk was a bit embarrassing, it didn't make Champion Lang collapse, but it was Francis's words that encouraged him, and when he arrived in the restricted area of the front court, Howard pushed Oku with his not plump buttocks, stretched out his long arms and shouted 'here, here'.

Hua Ben followed Cato with a playful smile on his face, he was determined to teach the little champion a lesson, there were not many opportunities like this.

No matter how awesome the rookies are in college or high school, they will be bullied by the old birds when they get to the NBA, to be honest, the rookies are not only not good at ability, but the main thing is that their concepts have not changed. In college and high school, they are all at the top of their game, and they are used to being unscrupulous on offense and lazy and casual on defense, but they are facing more talented players than them in the NBA, and it is no wonder that they are not taught a lesson.

Oku has the brains of a European, and he saw something unusual in the smile on Waben's face, so instead of using an unconventional defense around the front, he honestly stood behind Howard.

Catto pulled out of the box, Tekoglu was also on the outside, and Howard and Oku were left in the box, and Francis shook his head and reluctantly passed the ball to Howard. The first ball is usually completed by the team boss, and this pass basically shows the pattern of the Magic: Francis is not the boss, at least not the only boss.

Howard got the ball and slammed it backwards, and Oku, estimating that he might play a fantasy dance or a back-to-back single, took a step back and prepared to intercept him. As a result, as soon as he retreated, Zhuang Yuanlang turned around and lowered his center of gravity, howled in his mouth, raised the ball and flew up.

Nima, this is a layup? Oku is still stunned, is this champion's footsteps too simple? His offensive skills are too rough, right? However, the physical fitness is really good, this jump, the Nike logo on the sole of the shoe let him see it.

Howard pulled the ball to his lower abdomen with one hand, and after jumping, he quickly waved his arm to draw a counterclockwise stroke, grabbed the ball with his big hand, and dunked on the small windmill in front of him.

"Boom!" There was a muffled sound, and fans were wondering why this dunk was different from the sound just now? Wahben's sturdy body staggered past Howard, and the basketball in the latter's hand was slapped out!

"Mom, I'm being offended!" Howard had this thought in his heart after he landed.

Yes, Zhuangyuan Lang was blocked, and he didn't play with Hua Ben, they didn't know how fast he was moving, Cato thought it would be safe to pull Hua Ben out of the penalty area, and in the blink of an eye, the people were gone, and what they saw was that they flew over the penalty area.

Iguodala relied on his strong body and explosive power to grab the ball, and he ran down with the ball, and the 1.98-meter Iguodala was no slower than Patin's fast attack speed with the ball, and his gap was in the overall situation, vision and passing awareness.

The fast-break showcased Iguodala's talent, as he swept his basketball whirlwind from the backcourt to the frontcourt, and no one but Mobley and Francis kept up with him.

In the face of the two long-established old-timers, Iguodala didn't give any face, took two steps to the free throw line and jumped with the ball, crashed into Mobley who came to rob in the air, and simply smashed the ball into the hoop.

"Well done, big brother, come on!" Martin stood up and clapped his palms vigorously and shouted, Iguodala ran backwards, saying to Martin as he ran, "Nima, keep a low profile, don't you see the real boss there?" You big brother shouts in private, you can't call it that on the court. ”

Jordan showed a satisfied smile on his face, and also applauded politely, after all, in the eyes of Qiao's gang leader, this kind of dunk is really no bright spot. It's Iguodala's speed and impact that makes him feel satisfied, both are 1.98 meters guard, and Iguodala has a bit of his shadow when he sprints.

Encountering a riding buckle and a block in the opening, the little monster was a little frustrated. Everyone is like this, I thought that I came to the NBA to kill all sides, but when I got on the court, I found that it was I who was slaughtered, and this psychological contrast made it difficult for rookies to adapt.

Frustration meant a low morale, Howard didn't take the initiative to ask for the ball on the second offense, Francis didn't give it to him, Iguodala's impact dunk made him feel a little embarrassed, and the second ball came decisively on its own.

Patin is a completely weakened version of Nash, and the defensive end is also weakened, and Francis changes direction twice, and he is dizzy and left behind. While Iguodala and Warben's reinforcements were not in place, Fran got up and threw a shot and hit the hoop with precision.

Jordan shook his head slightly, then nodded quickly as Patin quickly reached the three-point line with the ball and waved the ball to Warburn outside the three-point line in the bottom corner. The latter got the ball, was open in front of him, made a jumper, and hit again.

7:2, the Bobcats got off to a good start.
