At 3 p.m. Eastern time, the defending champion Bulls and Rockets started the first game of the regular season this season, kicking off the new season.
The Rockets introduced Divac, which improved their inside depth, but at the beginning of the new season, Olajuwon's decline was clearly exposed.
He only made 8 of 18 shots in the game, and Olajuwon only scored 19 points and 8 rebounds. Drexler's decline was even more obvious. He only made 3 of 11 shots in the game, plus 4 of 4 free throws, and he only scored 10 points. 4 assists.
Divac, who was considered to have "enhanced depth", played an All-Star performance, making 9 of 16 shots, 4 of 5 free throws, 22 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists, which helped the Rockets carry on for a while.
But in the third quarter, the Rockets were defeated by the Bulls. Their two top 50 superstars performed dismal, while two of the three top 50 superstars on the opposite side performed extremely well.
The Bulls continued their strong performance in the third quarter and sealed the victory in the third quarter.
On the other side, when the defending champion Bulls¡¯ championship ring award night battle reached the fourth quarter and lost all suspense, the Lakers players were about to appear in the tunnel of the visiting team at Madison Square Garden.
Zhang Hao stood at the entrance of the player tunnel, looking at the court of the Holy Land of Basketball
The second time he came here to play, he was still excited.
For a professional basketball player, this place is always special and I want to play here every year.
"It's a great honor to play hereas long as you're not a Knicks player.
When the Knicks have a good record, the fans still support them very enthusiastically. Just like in recent years, they have reached the finals and have many stars. This summer they also signed a contract worth more than 100 million US dollars. They will soon The new season started well, with a total salary of US$30 million, but next season their total salary will be higher than that of the Bulls, who have a player with an annual salary of US$30.14 million, even if they do nothing next offseason. , the salary next season will also reach 57 million US dollars. The lineup created by spending so much money looks extremely beautiful.
Chris Childs, Alan Houston, Larry Johnson, Charles Oakley, Ewing, so strong!
However, when meeting certain special players, unless their Knicks team has just won the championship, they will definitely turn against them.
??This situation first appeared in the 1950s. At that time, the most famous title of New York basketball news reports was-"McCann vs. Knicks."
Some things only happen 0 times or countless times. After the first time, New York basketball fans will let themselves go. Whenever a star performs explosively in New York and beats them to the point where they don't want it, the fans will switch sides except Reggie Miller.
No, the Lakers players are going to play soon. The fans at the scene are not interested in watching the performance of the hot cheerleaders. Facing the Lakers with three 50-year-old superstars, the fans at the scene are already excited before the Lakers players even appear. Started to boo like crazy.
However, while the boos filled the air, there were also clearly audible shouts of "x" and "Jintmen" at a loud volume.
Just when Zhang Hao was having fun listening to the boos and calls to him by his English name or nickname, the second fat man came next to him: "Akers, are you the first or the last?"
First? the last one?
Looking at the Knicks staff next to him, Zhang Hao realized what the order of appearance was.
Originally, in order to let O'Neal play happily, Zhang Hao decided not to fight over things like being the first to appear and being on stage, and let O'Neal and Barkley fight happily.
But now O'Neal is injured Zhang Hao responded: "Be the first one."
Barkley nodded, filled out the order of appearance and handed it to the Knicks staff.
Originally, this kind of thing should have been decided from the beginning. Some games may not necessarily have an appearance ceremony, but in the opening game, there will definitely be one. The staff will tell the other three Lakers except Zhang Hao and Barkley in the order of appearance. After confirming it, the starting players quickly left with the order of appearance and handed it over to the on-site DJ. Fortunately, George Lynch and Doug Christie had a new point guard glaring at the two big guys at the tunnel. My eyes widened
Soon, at 5:10 in the evening, the cheerleading performance ended and everyone evacuated the stadium. After the debris left on the stadium from the opening jersey show was cleaned up and the floor was mopped, the lights dimmed and the spotlight was on the visiting team players. Passage mouth.
Magic and Jerome Corsi took the lead in running out of the tunnel and stood on both sides.
With the exception of Robert Parish of the defending champion Bulls, only the Lakers are able to treat the top 50 superstars as substitutes. Moreover, this top 50 superstar is still among the top five in history!
Wearing a suit?Take action
Didn¡¯t get in!
However, George Lynch grabbed the offensive rebound, and Charles Oakley blocked it immediately.
When Kenny Anderson jumped in, Larry Johnson also took it back. O'Neal and Barkley were surrounded by three people at close range. George Lynch found Zhang Hao who moved to the free throw line, and Zhang Hao received the ball. At that time, Charles Oakley was very active in making a save. Forced shot? No! When Zhang Hao was blocked by Charles Oakley, he pushed the ball to the floor. The ball took a step outside the reasonable collision area and passed under Ewing's crotch, which was against Barkley
Kenny Anderson, who was ignored after missing the throw, caught the ball behind Ewing! Kenny Anderson didn't expect the ball to pass in. Fortunately, he subconsciously grabbed the ball when he encountered it.
It doesn¡¯t matter even though I was a little surprised, Kenny Anderson reacted and caught the ball and threw it again and scored!
??This ball, if Zhang Hao directly catches the ball and shoots it, there is a high probability that it will be interfered with. Childs is also blocking the ball. Zhang Hao chooses to dodge Charles Oakley and is likely to be intercepted.
Then, Zhang Hao chose the third option, which was more risky but passed the ball and his teammates received it and scored.
The magician on the sidelines stood up and applauded the ball, but he felt that Zhang Hao was so brave! How dare you pass the ball like this when there are four frontcourt players under the basket!
But if the pass is in place, it¡¯s a good ball!
In terms of passing accuracy, Zhang Hao is just excellent, not even top-notch, but his awareness of passing, ability to seize the moment, and courage, the magician feels that Zhang Hao is very talented in this aspect! During the offseason, he could feel it just by coaching Zhang Hao.
Although this ball was wild, the away fans screamed in exclamation!
The wave is a bit rough, but this pass looks so amazing! The kind that gives people goosebumps!
Offensive and defensive transition, the Knicks attack.
Like the Lakers, the Knicks' first goal is to be given to the last player in the order of appearance for a singles.
After Ewing came to the frontcourt, he went directly to the inside. He had to rely on his height and body and his weight to beat Zhang Hao.
During the offseason, Ewing lost a full 20 pounds in order to support his knees, from his peak weight of 119 kilograms last season to 110 kilograms. However, facing Zhang Hao, he felt that he should still have an advantage
Eh?
After getting stuck, Ewing found that he couldn¡¯t squeeze Zhang Hao!
Although he has lost weight, his strength is still at the top level. He played against Zhang Hao twice last season. Because of the huge strength gap, even in the game where Zhang Hao broke out, Ewing had a relatively large strength advantage. The feeling of strange power is not obvious.
Now, what Ewing feels is not that his strength advantage has become smaller, but that he has become completely unable to squeeze in!
I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
