Amerika local time October 6, Dallas, Texas.

After a month or so of desertion, the Bulls' home stadium of the Amerika Aviation Center, with the start of the new NBA season, the traffic at the American Airlines Center has returned to normal levels again.

However, this is more popular than usual, because today is the first preseason game for the Bulls and the first game after the full assembly.

Last season, the Spurs were blacked out by the Spurs in second place in the West, and Dallas fans are desperate for their home team to make a comeback!

In the face of the menacing champion show and the Wizards, the home fans were not at all polite, and the American Airlines Center, which can accommodate 80,000 Rao, was almost 80 percent full.

The pre-season press conference is relatively rudimentary, basically some major media such as ESPN, CBS and TNT interviewing both sides, and it is not as formal as the regular season or even the playoffs.

However, there are still media outlets paying special attention to today's interviews.

Dallas coach Rick Carlisle is a bald white man with a cold face and a bit like a hairless Jim Carrey.

At first glance, it's a character who doesn't talk well.

And in fact, Carlisle has a strong desire to control his players, and he is more like an NCAA coach who works in the NBA.

Faced with the reporter's question of "how to defend the new champion Li Kaiming", the bald head Jin Carrey smiled slightly, and his words did not leak.

"I don't have too many specific tactics, but defending is not just a matter of sparing, we need the whole team to work together."

Compared with Carlisle, reporters are more concerned about the thoughts of Dirk Nowitzki, the star of the Bulls.

The ESPN reporter asked Nowitzki, "Dirk, what do you think of your alignment with Kaiming Lee?" ”

Nowitzki smiled like the Silver Horn King, and he almost took a gourd in his hand and shouted, "Do you dare to say yes?"

"He's a very special guy, I've seen his highlights, he's very good, he's very endowed, and it's going to be a very interesting matchup for us!"

Nowitzki is still relatively low-key in front of the media, after all, at this time, he is still labeled as a "soft egg", if he still has some inappropriate words in front of the media, even if he doesn't have enough black fans......

Listening to Nowitzki's answer with an extremely sufficient amount of milk, the reporters at the scene also sighed helplessly.

Now these players are smart, which makes their work very difficult......

The pre-game interview of the Wizards team was also relatively bland, but a reporter from Huaguo Radio asked a question on the spot that had nothing to do with Li Kaiming.

"Will Sun Yue and Yi Jianlian get playing time today?"

Sanders nodded and smiled charmingly, "They're all very good players, if the time comes, I'll let them play!" ”

The Chinese reporter recorded the results of the interview and prepared to send them to China after the game.

All preparations were made before the game, and the audience at the American Airlines Center were seated one by one, and the starting lineups of both sides were already played on the big screen at the scene.

Dallas Bulls, point guard Jason Kidd, point guard Jason Terry, forward Caron Butler, power forward Dirk Nowitzki, center Tyson Chandler.

Washington Wizards, point guard Gilbert Arenas, point guard Nick Young, forward Alsolton, power forward Kaiming Lee, center Andre Blach.

Today's referee is the famous Tony brothers, wearing the number 25 referee uniform.

Bradge stood in the center circle and Chandler jumped the ball, and the Tony brothers stood between the two men, holding the ball with their right hand, first palming their left hand, signaling the technical table to start the timer, and then picking up the whistle hanging around their necks with their right hand and putting it in their mouths.

After a few seconds of waiting, the Tony brothers tossed the ball upwards, and the basketball flew straight out of his right palm, and the whistle blew at the same time!

Honk!

Li Kaiming watched the two of Bradge jump outside the center circle, so he could see clearly that Chandler's jump speed was obviously much faster than Bracy, so the ball was taken by the Bulls.

Tyson Chandler was the No. 1 pick in 2001, and his body was not on the same level as Blatch at the end of the second round, so he easily jumped the ball.

Although he only averaged 6 points, 6 rebounds and 1 block per game last season, he didn't look as good as Blatche, but no one would think it was because of Brackey's gifts.

After the Bulls got the ball, they handed it directly to point guard Jason Kidd.

The point guard, nicknamed "Kid Bu Offense," was drafted by the Bulls in 1994 with the Bulls' No. 1 pick, nicknamed "Big Dog," Glenn Robinson.

So far, Kidd has been selected to the All-Star team 10 times, the All-Star team 6 times, five of them first-team and the second-team, 9 All-Defensive Team, including four first-team and five-time second-team, won 5 assist titles, and averaged 16 points, 10.8 assists and 2.3 steals per game in his strongest season.

Yes, in the history of the NBA, except for the guard who has won the MVP, no guard can surpass Kidd in terms of honor and strength, and he must be in the Hall of Fame.

But Kidd's biggest problem is that the offense is too poor, especially when his defense and organization are full, which makes it even more obvious that he is attacking and pulling his hips!

In his prime, he was able to shoot 1-of-17 and 3-of-18 shooting at every turn, and his true shooting percentage never exceeded 50%, which was the lowest among all All-Star guards.

On the contrary, after the end of his career, Kidd's outside open three-point shooting rate gradually became more and more scored, and his three-point shooting rate even reached 42% last season, which is considered an excellent shooter in the entire NBA!

After Kidd held the ball, he quickly came to the front court, and it was Arenas who defended him.

Kidd's height of 193, coupled with his strong body, can crush most opponents at the point guard position.

Even Arenas wasn't immune, Kidd didn't even bother to block and pick-and-roll, just protected the ball to the flank, and then began to arch in with his back!

Seeing that Zaigong was about to enter the penalty area, Li Kaiming, who was defending on the line, immediately shrank inside, but in fact, he was just scaring and didn't dare to wrap up

Because letting go of Nowitzki and wrapping Kidd is a stupid idea that can't be more stupid from any point of view.

Kidd's passing makes him not afraid of being caught at all, and he even wishes you could do it, and the vacated Nowitzki is probably the most accurate man in the league at the moment.

Lee's defensive feints didn't make Kidd panic in the slightest.

Just kidding, he's been in the league for more than ten years, is it possible that he doesn't even have this experience?

There is no way, Li Kaiming can't go to the bag, so he can only let someone else go, and Elsolton, who was in the bottom corner of the opposite side, retracted it, let go of Kaloon Butler, and rushed directly to Kidd!

But Kidd seemed to have expected it, and suddenly a half-turn, just before Thorton surrounded him, a long pass hit the ground, and the basketball almost pressed the bottom line, and rebounded into the hands of Caron Butler, who was vacant in the phosphorus corner!

Brilliant passing!

Kidd is a master passer!

Caron Butler was the 10th pick in 2002, averaged 20 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.3 steals per game at his peak, made two All-Star ratings, and was a very good off-ball player.

Don't look at this guy's average steals per game is so high, in fact, one-on-one defense is a mess, and he likes gambling steals.

In fact, Kaloon Butler is a very suitable forward for Li Kaiming, but I don't know what the Wizards management thinks, so he was directly sent to the Bulls along with Rodrigo Bois, Brendan Hayward.

Caron Butler, who was still wearing a Wizards jersey last season, made a three-point shot directly after receiving the ball, and Ayersorton didn't have time to pounce, so he had to watch the former score a three-point shot!

Tens of thousands of fans at the scene erupted in cheers!

The first goal of the new season, although it was pre-season, was also a good start!
