All four games on the NBA opening day have been played. The Celtics defeated the Pistons, the Heat defeated the Mavericks, and the Cavaliers defeated the Rockets.
And the Lakers, who lacked Kobe Bryant, actually defeated the Suns with all the main players at the Staples Center, causing a huge upset.
Lamar Odom, who is not distracted, is worthy of the nickname of the left-handed magician. In this game, he directly scored 34 points, 13 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals, leading the Lakers to win.
And Andrew Bynum, who the Lakers have been reluctant to trade for Kidd, Garnett and Lin Yu, also broke out in this game, with 18 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists.
Maurice Evans, who joined in place of Devin George, also came off the bench and scored 17 points and 4 rebounds. Without Kobe, the Lakers played more like a team, and they united to win against the Suns.
"Winning is not scary, it's embarrassing if someone is missing!" A sensational domestic media ran a headline like this, reporting on the Lakers' upset victory over the Suns.
Of course, the domestic media and fans are more concerned about the game between the Cavaliers and Rockets.
"Lin Yu had 25 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals. Dayao had 24 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 blocks. The Cavaliers won the Chinese Derby with 8 points."
Almost all domestic media published a very simple title. In their opinion, such a title is already a title that can well reflect the theme of the opening game.
"Dayu scored 25 points and Dayao made 8 of 23 shots. The shooting percentage was a bit low, but he still scored 24 points. The two stars from China dominated the process of the game. The NBA finally had a China Derby worthy of the name.
"
Basketball Pioneer Editor-in-Chief Su Jun’s comments reminded many people of last year’s China Derby.
Last year in the China Derby between Lin Yu and Dayao, it was Lin Yu who won the game. The difference was that Lin Yu only scored 12 points in that game.
At that time, Lin Yu was still an out-and-out role player, but in this game, Lin Yu had already performed at an All-Star level.
On this topic, domestic basketball experts have also started discussions: "Dayu has been selected to the All-Stars for four consecutive years. If nothing else happens, he will still be selected to the All-Stars this season. Now it depends on whether Dayu can
You can't grow up and be selected as an All-Star at the same time."
"If Dayu can also be selected for the All-Stars, one for the Eastern Conference and one for the Western Conference, then we can see a special Chinese Derby at the All-Star Weekend."
Some experts also believe: "There should be no doubt that Dayu will be selected as an All-Star. Last season he was already a scorer averaging 17.2 points per game. This season, as long as he maintains this score and relies on the votes of domestic fans, he can be
Cast as an All-Star."
Compared with domestic fans who dream about two Chinese players in the NBA becoming All-Stars, fans in Houston are very angry.
A high school fan named DeAndre Jordan expressed his opinion to the camera: "The Rockets' summer operations were so stupid. They just wanted to save a draft pick that might be late in the first round and missed the Chinese Lin.
, look at China Lin’s performance in this game, Carroll and Daryl will definitely regret this!”
Then, the high school fan added: "Of course, I'm not saying that Sean didn't play well. Sean is already great, but he is not at the same level as China Lin. China Lin's long-range shot is too strong.
, a completely All-Star level long shot..."
Later, a passing Rockets fan reminded him: "Don't say it, the Rockets didn't save that first-round pick. It's just that China Lin chose the Cavaliers and rejected the Rockets."
DeAndre Jordan was suddenly stuck. He waved his hands in panic in front of the camera: "Okay, okay, I remembered it wrong. What I want to say is that the one who regrets it in the end will be China Lin. He should choose
The Rockets and the Cavaliers would be a wrong choice, yes, that's it..."
The Cavaliers, who won the opening game, then flew to San Antonio.
Mike Brown announced before the game that Larry Hughes was still the starter. Everyone was surprised. No one expected that after the poor performance in 8 preseason games and the last opener, Larry Hughes would be the starter.
Si's starting position remains secure.
Lin Yu also wanted to ask, what about the promised competition for jobs?
Logically speaking, if it were a competition for employment, Lin Yu would have already won.
Mike Brown couldn't tell the truth. After the game against the Rockets, he really thought about discarding Larry Hughes, but the team's general manager Danny Ferry called him.
After a chat, Mike Brown could only continue to use Larry Hughes as his main force.
At AT&T Arena, the Cavaliers once again experienced a tough battle.
A starting lineup that was completely biased towards defense dug a big hole at the beginning. At the end of the first quarter, the Cavaliers were already 17 points behind.
Then in the second quarter, Lin Yu came on the scene, partnered with LeBron James, and tried his best but failed to fill this hole.
In this way, the Cavaliers suffered a defeat in San Antonio.
Lin Yu's performance was average, scoring 19 points on 6 of 13 shots, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal.
In comparison, Larry Hughes's performance was even worse. He also hit 6 goals. Larry Hughes took 15 shots and his hit rate was just equal to 40%.
Then he scored 18 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists. Larry Hughes, who once again took home the statistics sheet after the game, seemed still satisfied with his performance in this game.
After one win and one loss, the Cavaliers returned to their home court and were about to face the Wizards' challenge.
Before this game, the Cleveland media headlined: "Warm-up, battle between agents No. 0!"
The people in Cleveland, who were afraid of chaos, directly put Lin Yu on the opposite side of Gilbert Arenas, and directly pulled the two out to compare.
Both are second-round picks, and both score mainly based on shooting. It seems that Lin Yu and Arenas do have many similarities.
But in the eyes of Washingtonians, comparing Lin Yu to Arenas is an insult to the Wizards. You know, Arenas averaged 29.3 points per game last season.
In terms of scoring alone, Arenas has already entered the ranks of league superstars last season.
"Comparing a role player to Gilbert? Cleveland has completely exposed the fact that they are a frog in the well."
"Look, the Cleveland guy who has never seen the world is showing off his IQ again."
"Watch, Gilbert will blow up the No. 0 on the opposite side and let him know who is the real No. 0 representative in this league!"
"No, upstairs, you are wrong. Gilbert doesn't need to prove anything anymore."
The above is a reply from the reddit wizard section. Lin Yu sneaked in and took a look, and then became furious.
I made a direct call to Jeff Schwartz: "Jeff, last time I asked you to ask whether reddit can invest, did you get any result?"
Jeff Schwartz was stunned: "Well, I asked, and they said they wanted to have a meeting to discuss it."
"Hey, Jeff, you seem to be out of sorts. It's been two months since the last time I asked you to ask. What's the result?"
"Okay, Lin, I'll call them and ask them about the outcome of their discussion."
Lin Yu hung up the phone helplessly and shook his head. There was no need to think about it. If Reddit really wanted to consider his investment, it would have given him a reply a long time ago. It would not have been delayed until now.
It's just that there seem to be some omissions in Jeff Schwartz's work. If he wants to renew Jeff Schwartz's contract or change his agent, he will suddenly prefer the second option.
