LeBron is also happy with his play.

This can be seen from the look of excitement he couldn't hide when he faced reporters after the game.

25 points, 9 assists, 6 rebounds and 4 steals.

No matter which "top show" it is, playing such a performance in the first game of his career is extremely perfect data.

Not to mention that LeBron James is only 18 years old, it seems that the future is even more promising!

After the game, the game also caused heated discussions, and all kinds of praise followed, and LeBron James washed away the previous haze and re-established his image as a "proud son of the sky".

In addition, LeBron James suddenly stopped in the fast break and gave up the opportunity to perform a dunk, giving up the follow-up Ricky Davis to help him complete the round of "flying dunk", which attracted a lot of media reports.

Many experts therefore believe that LeBron James is not at all like an 18-year-old child, he is too mature and too good at being a man!

Meanwhile, photos of Ricky Davis letting LeBron James follow behind his ass and carry his sneakers went viral in major newspapers.

The images of "domineering old birds" and "modest rookies" instantly jumped on the paper.

Look at Ricky Davis again, and put that smile away!

ESPN believes that after LeBron James made such a perfect debut, the pressure was on Woody and Carmelo Anthony, two rookies who also shot the "opener" promo.

If they don't play well......

I'm afraid it's going to cause ridicule!

Among them, those who think that the debut will be more likely to play a sluggish performance......

It's Woody!

On the one hand, the contradiction between Glenn Robinson and him has become extremely intense and attention-grabbing under the rendering of the media.

Although the "big dog" has declined from his peak, he still averaged 20.8 points, 6.6 rebounds and 3 assists per game in the Hawks last season, shooting 44.8% from the field!

Not to mention the Hawks' record, just the individual performance, this is still the league's first-class wing offensive firepower.

On the other hand, Yao Ming's debut was very bad, and he directly hung up "zero eggs".

is also a Chinese, and some media with ulterior motives started from this perspective and frantically belittled Woody, believing that his debut would also be a puddle of mud.

There's also bad news from the rest of the Philadelphia 76ers.

Haitian center Delham Porter said in an interview before the game: "I've never seen Glenn so serious in training, we all know he's a guy who doesn't like to waste time on the training pitch, I want to say, Chinese rookie, be careful, you mess with a guy you shouldn't mess with!" ”

With so many low-profile voices, the Miami media reporter happened to meet Pat Riley, who came out to "walk", and also asked worriedly: "Pat, are you worried about his sluggish performance in the first game of the season?" ”

Pat Riley chuckled, because of his cold face, coupled with the fact that he didn't laugh much, it was a bit like a "sneer" that didn't smile: "Have you ever seen Miami at 4 a.m.?" ”

Coupled with the inquiring tone, without a hint of emotion, it was more like a cold sneer.

"What, what?" The reporter was stunned for a moment, he didn't understand the meaning of this.

He wanted to know Pat Riley's attitude towards Woody's first game, and how did he get involved with Miami at 4 a.m.?

Could it be that he wants me to go to his house at 4 a.m.?

He didn't slap me on the back of the head 4 times, did he?

Before he could figure it out, Pat Riley's next words had already spoken: "Woody has seen it, at the American Airlines Arena!" ”

“！！！”

If the reporter can't get around this bend, he won't be a reporter.

"You mean...... Woody trains at the arena at 4 a.m. every day? ”

Pat Riley looked at the reporter's unseen appearance, smiled and nodded.

He just likes the look of astonishment on the face when people hear him tell the story.

Sure enough, whoever hears this crazy story for the first time will be surprised!

So talented, and so hardworking, you say......

How can it not be exciting!

"The NBA is never a game of debate, and whether he plays well or not today, I believe that he will become one of the best players in the league in the future!" Pat Riley also spoke his mind at this time.

Then he turned around and went back to his office.

He also wanted to go to the locker room to find Woody and enlighten him, but after talking to this reporter, he suddenly felt that it was not so necessary.

Such a guy, do you still have to worry about his performance?

Even if he doesn't play well, as he himself said......

This league is never the place for rounds!

The sun will always rise!

As for the skepticism......

Let's put it this way!

Michael Jordan's "road to godhood" is from the sound of doubt, and if "God" is still like this, who can be an exception?

As with the Cavaliers' opener, a large number of media gathered in Miami, and the courtside reporters were crowded.

Su Qun also came to the scene of the American Airlines Arena today, but his partner was changed from Xu Jicheng to Zhang Weiping.

The latter is a former national player, known as "Asian Magician" and "Buckley under the basket", with a big belly and beautiful hand work, which made him the number one person in Asian basketball back then.

Because of his good skills, he especially likes those who have hand work.

It's also for this reason that he prefers Da Yao to Woody!

Of course, this is relatively speaking, compared to Woody, domestic fans prefer Da Yao. This is a real representative of the "Chinese face" on the NBA!

"Hey, hey, hey, American Airlines Arena isn't such a lively place tonight!" The authentic people of Sijiu City open their mouths to talk about the authentic Sijiu City piece of soup. Director Zhang looked at the American Airlines Arena, which was sitting almost the same before the game started, and sighed from the bottom of his heart.

Su Qun said: "Woody played well in the preseason, and this year's first-round No. 6 pick, one pick lower than Woody, Dwyane Wade, played well, these fans are all for these two people!" ”

Director Zhang nodded: "This is a bit of a person changing a city~ Woody's physical fitness really doesn't have to be said, this kid doesn't know what to eat to grow up!" ”

The cheers of the scene suddenly became enthusiastic at this time.

It's time for the home team.

"Next, let's welcome ......"

"Ohio High School League MVP, beat LeBron James to win McDonald's All-Star MVP, 03 first-round fifth pick, mysterious Chinese superstar, Wu ~ Di!"

Especially when the live DJ introduced Woody's appearance, the cheers in the audience raised several tones in an instant, completely filling the entire American Airlines arena.

Woody of the home players' tunnel listened to the cheers in his ears, looked at the Miami fans who climbed on the fence of the passage, desperately leaning into the passage, he took a deep breath, spit out heavily, clenched his hands into fists, and immediately showed a confident smile, ran briskly out of the aisle, all the way "low gliding", and bumped fists with his teammates who had already come out, he was the penultimate and played in the finale. Wade was the first to play, and Eddie Jones was the last. Enjoying the cheers of the home stadium.

Looking at his calm appearance, Su Qun and Zhang Weiping looked at each other and smiled.

It's different, it's different, it's really different when you play abroad!

"Is this the regular season?"

Walking to the center of the field, waving in response to the cheers that poured out all around, Woody felt that his blood flow had increased a few points, and his whole body was about to burn.

It's so burning!

He couldn't wait for the match to start right away, and he couldn't wait to make a big splash.

The big screen on the scene gave the starting lineups on both sides:

"Miami Heat: No. 1 Alston, No. 2 Eddie Jones, No. 3 Woody, No. 4 Odom, No. 5 Brian Grant;

Philadelphia 76ers: No. 1 Eric Snow, No. 2 Allen Iverson, No. 3 Glenn Robinson, No. 4 Kenny Thomas, No. 5 Derek Coleman; ”

In this interval, Woody saw Su Qun and Zhang Weiping, so he came over to say hello.

Su Qun asked, "Woody, have you seen Yao Ming's interview about you?" ”

Woody nodded.

Because they are all Chinese, before the Heat's game against the Philadelphia 76ers, a reporter unsurprisingly interviewed Yao Ming and asked him what he thought of Woody's debut.

"Do you think his debut will be as bad as you were back then?"

"I'm in a completely different situation with him, he's going to be more comfortable with this intensity, he's already outpaced me in summer league points, so I think he's going to play well, at least from a high school perspective, that's how it goes......," Yao said.

Su Qun didn't say anything more, just nodded: "Come on!" ”

Stan Van Gundy sets up the pre-game.

The biggest change for the Philadelphia 76ers in the summer was Larry Brown's departure.

But his legacy is still there, and the team's overall framework hasn't changed much, so Van Gundy believes it's still a defensive-oriented team.

If you have to find a weak link......

"Glenn Robinson at the third position!" Stan Van Gundy glanced at Woody.

This guy is a very classical No. 3 position, only responsible for scoring and rebounding, and he ignores everything else, plus his lazy personality, so his defensive ability is very problematic!

And he's the Philadelphia 76ers who only came this summer.

"This is our breakthrough, and before they can react, we can use this point to play a wave of scoring!"

Stan Van Gundy, who studied under Pat Riley, is not a "master of offensive tactics", but if he is allowed to set up well before the game, then he can also make good offensive tactical targets.

The tactical theoretical foundation of the older generation is still very solid.

What they lack more is on-the-spot adaptability.

And among the head coaches of this generation, except for George Karl and Nelson Sr., most of them believe in the principle of "defense wins championships".

Old Nelson is a little more miserable, when he believes in defense, he lets people fight with offense, and now he believes in offense, and he lets people hang and fight with defense!

This is no longer a "point back"?

This is a "point back" to go back to my mother's house with my mother! - "back" to grandpa's house.

The game officially began with the cheers of the audience.

Glenn Robinson and Woody came on the court and glanced at each other almost at the same time.

It was Brian Grant who jumped the ball and Coleman, the No. 5 on the opposite side.

Coleman was the No. 1 pick in '90 and the Rookie of the Year in '91, averaging 18.6 plus 10.6 per game when he entered the league.

Woody still knows him well.

"Magic" Johnson also knows that he entered the NBA for money, and often tells him about some players who also entered the NBA for money and wasted their talent with satisfaction, including Coleman.

This guy is known for being an alcoholic, and at the same time he doesn't like to train!

Speaking of which, Allen Iverson should like the atmosphere of the Philadelphia 76ers right now, because in addition to him and Coleman, Robinson, the "big dog", is also known for his heavy drinking and lack of training.

It's just that Robinson got into alcoholism, which had something to do with his signing with the Bucks, and Milwaukee is known as the "capital of alcoholics." The Bucks also had an All-Star power forward named Vin Baker, who also fell rapidly from his peak because of alcoholism.

It can be seen that which team the rookie debuts from can really have a very huge impact.

Otherwise, Woody wouldn't have been so nervous at the draft.

The consequence of wasting talent is that his peak is very short, as was the case with Derek Coleman, who is now at the end of his career.

Grant made the jump to the first strike.

Alston made three small jumps in one step and dribbled the ball through half the court gorgeously, causing a low cry from the sidelines.

It's just that fans love to watch "show off their skills", and Stan Van Gundy on the sidelines doesn't like it, if it weren't for the first leg of the new season, he would have scolded him a long time ago.

Odom came out on the wing to catch the ball, Woody started to slide the baseline at the same time, Glenn Robinson's attitude was really serious, and Woody moved at the same time as he moved. Successfully tearing the opening, Odom held the ball and walked inside.

Kenny Thomas, who is next to him, is only 2.01m tall and belongs to the "short and stout power forward", and his speed can barely keep up.

Unable to get rid of it, Odom turned around and found Eddie Jones.

At this time, with Woody slipping the bottom line, coupled with Odom's breakthrough to attract the bag, the entire wing was completely empty, and Eddie Jones only had Allen Iverson in front of him.

1.98m vs 1.83m (?) Pull it out and you're done!

Three-point decisive shot!

The ball was on the right track, flying straight towards the basket, but the ball was about to reach the basket, and Woody, who was pulling to the three-point line in the bottom corner on the other side, was distracted, and quickly started and rushed towards the basket.

When Glenn Robinson saw Eddie Jones make a move, Woody didn't move, so he was distracted for a while, and when Woody suddenly started, he immediately chased out, but he was still half a step slower and was pulled out of a position by Woody.

"Bang dang!"

The ball bounced out of the frame, flying far away, all the prejudgments of the cards under the basket were wrong, and when the ball was about to fall to the level of the basket, there was a "pop" sound, and Woody, who suddenly rushed towards the basket, firmly grasped the rebound in his hand, turned his head and threw his whole body to the basket.

The movements were very crisp and neat, and Coleman, who felt that he couldn't stop it, could only foul Woody to complete an easy second attack.

"Toot!"

The moment the referee's whistle blew, the cheers of the whole audience were full, as if it was the torrential rain of "you don't fight anymore", fierce and hot.

Su Qun and Zhang Weiping looked at each other again, extremely excited.

The moment Woody grabbed the rebound in the front court, Zhang Weiping couldn't help but shout: "Okay! ”

When Woody finished attacking, he couldn't hold back anymore and laughed: "Well played, this ball, it's very reasonable!" ”

None of them expected that in the first round they came up, Woody would have a chance to score.

"Whew~"

Walking to the free throw line and slapping the ball briskly, Woody adjusted the rhythm of the free throw, and the ability to shoot free throws at 71 points allowed him to execute the free throw without any surprise when he was full of energy.

"Huh!"

"Huh!"

Two brisk wiping sounds.

The Heat scored their first two points of the season, and Woody scored his first career points, as well as his second.

Su Qun did not forget to pick up the camera hanging around his neck to record this historic moment.

It was the turn of the Philadelphia 76ers to attack, Glenn Robinson just let Woody shake for a while, he was already holding back his strength, and now he was even more suffocated, even Allen Iverson didn't fight with him, and gave him the opportunity to attack first.

The "champion" really has to give the "champion" a face.

To say that the Philadelphia 76ers have stabbed the "champion nest" this year.

The champions of '90, '94, and '96 gathered together......

It also proves that basketball is a sport that relies on talent.

Just take a look at this brother, who is not criticized for being lazy and not loving training?

But their talent still made them the top players in the league at some point in their careers.

Glenn Robinson was called the "offensive kaleidoscope" of the '90s, and you can criticize him for anything else, but no one can dictate him when it comes to attacking with the ball.

Woody also realized that it was not easy, this guy's technical movements were really skillful.

Just relying on "back", Woody was forced to retreat.

"Is that all you have to do?"

Glenn Robinson came to the inside with ease and unceremoniously spat out trash talk. Then he turned around, raised his hand and made a realistic layup feint, and sure enough, he succeeded in shaking Woody away.

"Welcome to the NBA, ......"

"Smack!"

After shaking Woody away, Glenn Robinson shouted wildly and shot at the basket, but before he could finish his sentence, a large hand covered the basketball that had just flown out of his hand and covered it straight.

His mouth was also slapped as if he had been slapped, and he was dumbfounded.

"How? This cap! Woody looked at the stunned Glenn Robinson, whistled, stretched out a finger, and shook it at him, "Take it easy, this won't be the last!" Big dog who loves to talk trash! ”
