The huge Boeing 777 began to descend slowly with a sonic boom, and after landing on the ground, it was sliding from back to front, the tires touching the ground slowed down from fast to fast, and Chamberlain lay on the window and looked out, and it was only two months before he returned to Beijing.

This time in Beijing, Chamberlain is here to play the preseason, and they have a total of seven preseason games, two of which will be played in China, one against the New Jersey Nets and the other against the Houston Rockets.

With the perfect implementation of Stern's NBA globalization strategy, the NBA's influence is getting bigger and bigger, the status of the players is getting higher and higher, and the income is increasing.

The preseason is chicken ribs for American fans, everyone knows that this is the team training, it doesn't matter if they win or lose, so the players don't take it seriously, and generally speaking, unless it's a heavyweight game, there aren't many fans watching the preseason.

But if you go with Stern's globalization strategy, it's all different, with six NBA preseason games in China this year already sold out, and ticket sellers are said to have been queuing since 12 a.m. to open at 8 a.m.

Other teams have not been idle, with the Pau Lakers going to Spain, the Parker Spurs going to France, the Nowitzki Mavericks going to Germany, and all the teams with well-known foreign players going to the globe.

The Warriors' first preseason game was against the Nets, and as soon as Yi Jianlian arrived at the Nets, the NBA gave the team a chance to promote themselves, that is, to come to China to play the preseason.

It's still a familiar stadium, but with a change of teammates and opponents, Chamberlain received a landslide and tsunami cheers when he played, and he walked into the stadium like an emperor, and every wave of his hand must be exchanged for the warm cheers of countless fans.

Oxlade-Chamberlain was the last player on the team, and it only took one season for him to be the team's NO. The status of 1.

After the appearance, Chamberlain and Yi Jianlian hugged, he patted the latter's shoulder vigorously, and shouted: "Hey, brother, don't be soft-hearted later, if you are still a soft egg, then I will not be polite today!" You see, we enjoyed cheering together here two months ago! ”

Winnie's special training has brought a lot of changes to Yi Jianlian, coupled with the change of mentality caused by the transaction, the current Yi Jianlian is no longer the big boy who likes to smile, a summer vacation special training, his muscles are stronger, his style of play is tougher, Chamberlain's encouragement in exchange for his roar: "Brother, let's fight to the death!" ”

The starting lineup of the Nets is: center Josh Boney, power forward Yi Jianlian, small forward Bobby Simmons, playmaking guard Devin Harris, and scoring guard Vince Carter.

The core of the Nets team is UFO Carter, who can fly and jump, but as he gets older and gets more injured, he is no longer the second generation of flyers who can break through, shoot from a distance and dunk.

Once Carter was almost unlimited, and he and Iverson, Maddy, and Kobe Bryant were known as the four invincible outside lines, and it was not without reason.

Back in the first game of the 2001 Eastern Conference semifinals in 2001, Carter and Iverson both came along, Iverson scored 36 points, and Carter scored 35 points. Carter, who played on the road, was the winner, as he scored a team-high four points to lead the Raptors to a narrow three-point victory and snatch home-court advantage from the 76ers.

Iverson refused to show weakness, and in the second game, he shot 21 of 39 from the field and scored 54 points. But in the third game, Carter, who had just lost, won back, this time he scored 50 points, shooting 19 of 29 from the field, including 9 of 13 three-pointers!

In the fourth game, no one scored 50 points, but 30 points were enough for Iverson to win. The crucial fifth game was held in Philadelphia, and before the game, Iverson accepted the award and was officially selected as MVP of the year. As a result, Iverson played at MVP level, scoring 52 points again, while Carter only scored 16 points.

In the sixth game, the tenacious Carter really did what he said, he scored 39 points, and forced the game into the seventh. But at this juncture, his college graduation ceremony was to be held in North Carolina. Carter had promised his alma mater that he would definitely return to attend the graduation ceremony, and he did what he said, returning to North Carolina to attend the graduation ceremony, and then flew to Philadelphia for the Battle of Mount Tenking.

No matter what the result is, no matter who wins or loses in the end, the reverberation of that series makes the old fans who have experienced it still can't get enough of it. After the four percentiles, this kind of playoff outside point battle has never appeared again, and now only Wade can hold up the banner, but he is frequently involved in injuries, which is a pity.

The Warriors went head-to-head, with Chamberlain, Evans, Jackson, Billups and West, and the Warriors' five Tigers coming up for the first time to prepare for this debut.

Most of the players present are people who have experienced the ups and downs, and the pre-season is just a game for them to run in the squad and check and fill in the gaps, and it doesn't matter if they win or lose, so it doesn't matter if they play well, as long as they can let the manager really understand the strengths and weaknesses of the squad.

This is what they used to think, and today at Wukesong Stadium, the blood of these players is boiling, and the fanatical fans give them the illusion that this is not a preseason that doesn't matter if you win or lose, but a knockout game where you have to get out of the way once you lose!

Chinese fans are very cute, many old fans wear jerseys that have been out of print, Carter's purple and black jersey when he was in the Raptors, and the blue jersey when Billups first entered the Pistons. How do we suddenly get old? How come these familiar robes haven't been seen for so many years?

Everyone is nostalgic, NBA stars are like this, when jumping the ball, Chamberlain grabbed the ball, Billups held the ball and led the offense, generally the first ball he would give to Chamberlain to play, but in the face of Harris, a new generation of young players, he quickly changed direction after reaching the three-point line, and then his strong body pulled to the side, shaking Harris and rushing forward.

Harris returned to defense, Billups collected the ball and stopped urgently, he hit Harris's chest with his shoulder, directly knocked the thin opponent away, and hit the basket again, dangling a shot to trick Yi Jianlian, who was making up the defense, and turned around and hit a hook hand.

The breakthrough of the defender, the hook hand of the center, and the score of Billups made the hearts of his fans burst into flames, and the cheers became louder and louder.

Harris was humiliated, he held the ball to the frontcourt, faced Billups' defense, first did two crotch dribbles to adjust his footwork, after finding the rhythm, after the ball came to the left hand, he shook his shoulder and his right foot lightning step, like a whirlwind, with lightning speed to kill inward.

Billups's defensive strength is well known in point guards, he knows his shortcomings relative to Harris, so he sticks up to hit the opponent with his body at the first time, although Harris is fast but has poor confrontation ability, Billups's squeeze makes him very uncomfortable, West seized the opportunity to pounce like a mad dog, and stabbed the ball in his hand at once.

“CRAZZY-DOG！” West's nickname resounded throughout the stadium, but as soon as the voice started, the fans' open mouths couldn't be closed.

The ball was poked out, and a figure in a white robe quickly inserted from the middle, only to see him bend down to pick up the ball, and the skillful slap of his right hand followed up, and his slender body was like a sharp spear, and he rushed to the top of the penalty area in the blink of an eye.

There were still more than ten feet away from the hoop, this man did not continue to move forward, but put away the ball and bent his knees, his vigorous body was like a dragon out of the sea, and he rose from the ground with a roar, only to see him rush to the hoop in a flying posture, grab the ball in the lower abdomen with his right hand, and after approaching the hoop, his arm suddenly rotated one hundred and eighty degrees, like a windmill in a strong wind, and smashed the ball into the hoop with a bang.

“UFO！” The fans screamed with excitement, and Carter's fans took off their jerseys and raised them above their heads, flying like battle flags on the field.

Carter landed and threw his fist proudly as he stepped back to defend it, my fans, and I won't let you down.

Billups attacked again with the ball, and Harris stood by and shouted, "Hey, old man, are you going to break through me?" Come on, let's see if Uncle Harris is afraid! ”

Listening to the other party's provocation, Billups slapped the ball leisurely and said with a smile: "You're afraid, boy, the dog that bites doesn't bark, the dog that likes to bark is afraid and wants to use the sound to scare the opponent, and you are like this now." West's name is Mad Dog, but have you ever seen him bark? Everyone knows that mad dogs only kill people......"

His mind was broken by the other party, Harris was a little distracted for a while, how experienced is Billups? He seized the opportunity the first time, but instead of breaking through, he took a quick step back, retreated beyond the three-point line, put away the ball and bent his knees to jump.

Harris subconsciously jumped to block it, but when he jumped up, he found that there was no one in front of him - it was just Billups's feint, but he waited for Harris to complete a 360-degree spin after jumping, turned to avoid Harris, and then jumped out of his hand.

"Huh!" Three-point hit!

Carter directly attacked with the ball himself, the two veterans began to compete, they have been in the league for ten years, Carter entered the NBA in 98, and earlier than Loops, it was 97 years, they have passed the age of competition, but today in this strange land, the two veterans suddenly began to compete-for-tat.

Seeing Carter come to hold the ball, Billups had a smile on his face, he pushed West away and signaled himself to defend, Carter went outside the three-point line, Billups and West completed the switch, and the two veterans stood face to face.

With the ball in hand, Carter began to test the step, and now the fans know that Anthony's test step is powerful, but compared with the peak Carter, Anthony is far behind, Carter's countless offenses all start from the step, and his step is simply impossible to prevent.

Vince Carter often catches the ball on the wings and then stays for a moment to make what is known as a "triple threat" stance: he can shoot, he can pass, he can dribble. This time at the top of the three-point line, he dribbled the ball directly, that is, he indicated that he intended to break through Billups.

Carter's first move was quick, because he was super explosive, and probably except for Hill, the swingmen of that generation, including Maddie, were all slightly worse than him. Previously, Harris also used his speed to break through Billups, but the latter directly used his body to stop him, and this time it was the opposite.

Carter is taller and stronger than Billups, and his first move is quicker.

As if guessing that Carter was going to plan a peerless attack, the fans in the arena suddenly stood up and stared nervously at the court.

Chamberlain thought about it and left the forbidden area, this is a gladiatorial fight between two veterans, a contest between two old bulls, he went to make up or assist in defense, it was an insult to both of them!

Seeing Chamberlain leave the penalty area, Yi Jianlian was a little surprised, he knew this men's basketball teammate too well, this guy's love for defense was more than his love for beautiful women. Chamberlain understood Yi Jianlian's expression, and he smiled: "This section belongs to these two old guys, and it has nothing to do with us. ”

Yi Jianlian nodded silently and left the forbidden area.

The penalty area is blank, Carter has a smile on his face, Billups has a solemn expression, he opens his arms to face Carter sideways, about half a step away from the opponent, so that he can attack and retreat - Carter's first step is fast, but he has three-point ability, so he doesn't dare to get too close to him and dare not go too far.

Even so, it was difficult to deal with Carter, and in the face of Billups' defense, Carter took a deep breath and took a sudden step, how short is a tenth of a second? Fans didn't have that concept before, but today they understand that a tenth of a second is when some of them blink their eyes, and then Carter's body is parallel to Billups.

After taking a step, Carter didn't continue to attack, but slyly rammed Billups, because he was stronger, because he was now on the attacking side, because he had the impact on him.

Billups's old spiciness, which was on perfect display at this moment, and after Carter broke through, he immediately retreated, and took two steps back, before he began to puff up his chest to resist Carter's impact. Carter's strength is mostly on the first step, and as a result, the first step crashes into the air, as the so-called one drum and then three times exhausted, Carter's back impact does not have the force of the assault, it is much easier to fight.

The two veterans tangle all the way, Billups' defense was effective, and Carter hit the box, but he didn't have the same flow as before, and it took five or six seconds to get to the basket. And if Chamberlain wanted to, he had a hundred ways to trap Carter, but he didn't.

Like he said, it's a contest between two old cows!
