Chapter 25 [Old bird, you are honored to play with me! 】
Stern deserves to be the president of the league. He is so good at telling stories. With the current popularity of the Lakers and Suns, what could be more exciting than facing each other in the first game of the new season?
Yes, the Suns will play the Lakers in the opening game.
Everyone who has a grievance can retaliate, and anyone who has a grudge can take revenge.
On October 30, the Suns played against the Lakers at home.
Although the team has made some progress in changing tactics in the past few days, there is one point that cannot be ignored. O'Neal is becoming more and more embarrassed in the lineup.
Similarly, Xia Yin needs time to grow, he is still a bit immature now, and the Suns also need time to adjust and transform. Cole has already paid the price of this season in his heart to help the Suns successfully transform.
Of course, if you can win the championship this season and realize your dream, that would be even better. If not, then next season will be the next season. There is not much time left for the Suns.
The players on the court are all warming up, and Xia Yin is shooting three-pointers and changing the speed of his three-pointers.
Of course, the speed of three-point shooting cannot be achieved by just practicing. After all, shooting is a skill that relies heavily on rhythm.
Catching the ball, the posture of the shot, the completion of the action and the speed of the shot will all affect the final outcome.
Players with higher shooting skills are more able to complete shots in difficult situations and maintain their shooting rhythm.
Xia Yin is ready to kill everyone today.
Before coming to the American Airlines Center, Shain checked the best start records of rookies. Among them, Chamberlain ranked first in scoring, with 43 points.
Among them, James scored 25 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists in his debut.
Jordan scored 16 points and 7 assists in his first game as a rookie.
In the first game of a certain snake rookie, he came off the bench for 6 minutes and scored 0 points, 1 rebound and 0 assists.
Tsk tsk tsk, I can’t even see it!
Xia Yin looked at Kobe with a smile. Kobe seemed to feel Xia Yin's gaze at halftime. He turned his head and saw Xia Yin's smiling face, and he gave him a death glare.
Nash patted Shain on the shoulder, "It doesn't matter, we support you. The coach asked you to today, in your first NBA game, we will help you, especially when facing the Lakers!"
O'Neal laughed and stood beside Xia Yin, "I'll help you defeat the Lakers!"
Teammates encouraged Xia Yin, "We all support you today!"
"Kill the Lakers!"
The voice from the Suns was naturally heard by the Lakers. Gasol stood next to Kobe, "We are not afraid of them. We will win today!"
Kobe nodded and suddenly smiled, "It doesn't matter, this is what I expected, I enjoy it all."
Gasol frowned and looked at Kobe, are you seriously ill?
Although he came to the Lakers this spring, Gasol felt that he still didn't understand Kobe.
On the TNT channel, Barkley laughed very happily when he saw this scene, "That's it, beat the Lakers, and the Suns will never surrender!"
Kenny Smith said helplessly, "Hey, Barkley, everyone knows that you are a Sun star, but there is no need to be so biased. Moreover, the Lakers lineup has taken longer to adjust, and the Suns have more newcomers. I think the Lakers have a greater chance of winning."
Barkley rubbed his hands, "How about we make a bet?"
"You want to bet again? You lost last time."
Barkley shook his head, "This time is different, and we are more civilized. Are you sure you support the Lakers?"
"OK, I bet, I support the Lakers."
"Then I will support the Suns. If you lose, I will wear Shayne's jersey and cheer for him the next time the Suns play against the Lakers. If I lose, the next time they live broadcast their game, I will wear Kobe's jersey. How about that?"
”
Smith smiled and said, "Barkley, this bet is good."
At the same time, in the CCTV channel,
The two commentators, Yu Jia and Xu Jicheng, were also discussing the grievances between the Lakers and the Suns. The focus was still on Xia Yin.
Yu Jia said with a smile, "Today is Xia Yin's first regular season game. Suns coach Gentry was very considerate and put him in the lineup. We also saw it just now. The Suns team's morale is very high. Today's game was exciting."
."
Teacher Xu also smiled, "As for Xia Yin, I didn't know much about him before. I only knew that he was a famous singer. Later, he became famous when he played in the summer league. After a few preseason games, I got to know him well.
."
"Xia Yin has a very strong physical fitness, never loses in confrontation, and is also very smart. You will find that when Nash is not on the court, he is the team's on-field commander."
"His main strengths are defense and three-pointers. His other skills are still a bit rough, but it's acceptable. After all, he hasn't played basketball for a long time. Overall, he's a genius. If the Lakers gave up on him, I'd probably regret it now."
Out."
"Hahahaha." A cheerful laughter came from the live broadcast room.
The game is about to start now, and the players have already taken their positions and are ready to compete for the ball.
Today's Suns team is: O'Neal, Stoudemire, Hill, Shine, Nash.
They are full of stars. If O'Neal and Hill were ten years younger, no one in the entire league could stop them.
O'Neal smiled in front of Bynum, and Bynum asked him, "Why are you laughing?"
At this time, the referee blew the whistle to start the game. O'Neal got the ball and threw it directly to Nash. After landing, he said to Bynum, "I'm laughing. I'm going to get the ball."
Bynum glared at O'Neal fiercely and quickly took his position.
Nash caught the ball and passed it directly to the basket without dribbling. Shain was already in place, jumped up and shook off Kobe, and slammed the ball into the basket.
Coming off the basket, Xia Yin looked at Kobe and smiled and said, "Old bird, welcome to the NBA!"
When Kobe Bryant heard this, his face became even darker. Gasol glanced at Xia Yin with a strange expression. This is not a good boy.
O'Neal even laughed and ran to the opposite half.
It was the Lakers' turn to attack, and Kobe had to regain his position. Facing Shain's defense, he also felt the intensity.
"This kid is really not weak, and his defense is very good, but you still can't guard against me!"
After Kobe's tentative attack failed, he decisively retreated and shot a mid-range shot. Xia Yin had tried his best to keep up with Kobe, as if he could hit the ball as long as he worked harder.
But it still flew from his fingertips to the basket.
"Kobe Bryant made a mid-range shot. He responded to Xine's provocation."
After Kobe made the mid-range shot, he looked at Shain with contempt and said, "Rookie, welcome to the NBA!"
Shayin waved his hand, "Kobe, you shouldn't say welcome to the NBA. You should say: Shayin, it's my honor to play with you."
How can you change someone's impression of you from okay to terrible in just one sentence? This is it.
When Kobe heard this, he immediately gritted his teeth and steamed with anger.
O'Neal even ran up to them and said, "Xia Yin, I really saw you right, you're great!"
Kobe squinted his eyes and watched the two people singing together.
"Damn fat man, you're going to lose today! And you little brat, I'm going to beat you up!"
It's just that Xia Yin was not the Suns' first scoring point. In the next two rounds, Xia Yin was just a transit point. Kobe followed him and made no achievements.
Instead, Xia Yin got an assist and grabbed a rebound.
After receiving a pass from Nash again, Xia Yin hit a three-pointer from the top of the arc.
After hitting the three-pointer, Shain said to Kobe, "You'd better ask a teammate to double-team me. In this way, the commentary will say that No. 21 scored against the double-team, instead of saying that No. 21 scored on Kobe's head." p>
After saying that, Xia Yin shrugged innocently, as if to say: Kobe, your defense is so bad, it’s too easy to beat you.
This stinky look made Kobe's anger erupt like a volcano.
