NBA: Come off the bench to save the national team

Chapter 102



Fast forward to October.

The highly anticipated 2008~2009 season, the preseason, officially kicked off.

The NBA preseason is a warm-up game played by teams before the start of the NBA regular season.

Because after each season, each team has considerable changes in the lineup, in order to allow each team to grind the lineup, familiarize themselves with the playing style of their respective teams, determine the lineup of each team's new season, and also improve the communication between players and coaches.

So before each season starts, the NBA hosts a few preseason games to keep players in good shape for the long new season.

At the same time, the NBA has also set up many preseason games for overseas events to promote the NBA.

After all, in this business alliance, the interests are the most important.

......

Throughout the preseason, the Thunder only had a 1-7 record.

Durant and Qin Feng basically did not play much, and even missed 3 games.

The team's preseason tasks are mainly based on training, and the team's 15-man roster must also be determined.

The Thunder signed nearly 20 players this summer, and the team must cut a few more before the new season begins....

In addition to the Thunder, the Lakers only had a 1-7 record in the preseason.

Because Bryant and Gasol participated in the Olympics in the summer, the competitive status has been online, so the preseason game has not been played.

The purpose of the Lakers' preseason is mainly to find form for players such as Bynum and Odom.

After all, preseason wins and losses don't count toward regular season records, so it doesn't matter.

......

US time, October 28.

Two days after the preseason ended, the NBA season opener officially began.

Fans all over the world are in a state of madness.

I haven't watched a game for months, but it hurts the fans.

On the first day of the new season, the NBA has scheduled three high-profile openers.

They are the Cavaliers vs Celtics, the Bucks vs the Bulls, and the Blazers vs the Lakers.

The highlight is the Cavaliers' away game against the Celtics.

The Cavaliers and Celtics fought in seven games in the playoffs last season, and finally relied on Pierce's supernatural play to beat James in the best-of-seven game to lead the team to win the game and reach the Eastern Conference Finals.

It also put James out of the door to the Eastern Conference Finals again.

Apparently, the league arranged this game to continue the feud between the two teams in the playoffs last season.

Early on, the media defined this game as James' battle for revenge.

Throughout the match, both sides played extremely anxiously.

In the final minute of the game, the Cavaliers turned on foul tactics, constantly putting Celtics players on the free throw line, while the Cavaliers grabbed three-pointers.

With James hitting two consecutive three-pointers in the end, the Celtics also won the Cavaliers by 5 points at 85:90, making James' battle for revenge a night of shame.

In the whole game, James shot 9 of 21 and scored only 22 points, which was extremely inefficient.

New signing Mo Williams was equally crotch-raising, scoring just 12 points on 4-of-10 shooting.

It was completely at odds with what the media expected before the game.

On the other hand, the Celtics' Pierce shot 10-of-19 from the field and scored 27 points, and his form was extremely hot.

The Celtics also announced the return of the king in this way, telling the world that they are still the biggest contenders for the championship!

The second game was the debut of Champion Ross.

Also as the proud son of heaven, after the Bulls selected Rose, they cultivated it as the core of the team.

All Chicago fans are looking forward to Rose, seeing him as the savior of the team and seeing him as the most promising player to lead the Bulls' rise since Jordan.

Under the watch, Rose was not afraid of the stage, and his form was hot, scoring 11 points, 4 rebounds and 9 assists.

For such a debut performance, Bulls fans are very satisfied.

This is only the first game of Ross's career, and the numbers to get a double-double are already remarkable.

Thanks to the excellent play of him and the rest of the Bulls, the Bulls also had a big victory.

The final game of the opener was the Lakers vs. the Blazers.

The game also attracted attention in the whole mile.

Not only are the favorites for the Lakers highly anticipated, but the Blazers' draft last season, Oden, also returned in the season opener after being reported injured in his rookie season.

Auden the Great is known as a once-in-a-decade genius, and his template is Duncan, Robinson and other superstars.

Looking forward to a season, can Auden deliver on his talent?

After all, the top pick Durant has become a super scorer averaging 20 points per game in his rookie season, so what amazing performance will this talented player who beat Durant be?

This sparked curiosity among all fans and media.

However, what he never expected was that Auden the Great fully interpreted what is called the glass man attribute in this game!

Less than half a game into the game, Auden withdrew due to injury.

Before retiring from injury, Oden played 13 minutes, shooting 0-of-4 from the field, scoring and grabbing only five rebounds.

Undoubtedly, Auden's performance was disappointing, while his outlook was once again clouded by his injury.

The Lakers, on the other hand, showed chilling strength.

In the whole game, the Lakers used a strong defense to let the Blazers score only 76 points!

The Lakers, on the other hand, scored 96 points and outscored the Blazers by 20 points.

At this point, all three games of the opener have been played.

The relevant news quickly became the headlines on the NBA's official website, triggering heated discussions among netizens.

One of the most regrettable is Auden's re-injury.

Many players have posted prayers for Auden, hoping that he can return to the field soon.

So players know how important it is to stay healthy as a professional!

.......

The second matchday of the new season.

The NBA has scheduled as many as 12 games.

Among them, the Lakers, Spurs, Rockets and other super teams that have attracted attention are the super teams.

And the Thunder, the team at the bottom of the league last season, has also received a lot of attention.

There was no other reason, only because of Qin Feng's existence.

There is no doubt that because of Qin Feng's joining, the Thunder team has become one of the most talked about teams in the Huaxia region.

What kind of performance will Qin Feng, who made a big difference in the Olympics and rejected strong teams such as the Lakers and Cavaliers when he landed in the NBA, perform in the first game of his NBA career?

This not only made all Chinese fans look forward to it, but even many American fans were also interested in watching over.

In the game broadcast live by the full meter, the ratings of this game of the Thunder even surpassed that of the Lakers.

In Huaxia, CCTV also chose the Thunder team's game for live broadcast.

All the attention was coming towards Qin Feng!
