Chapter 104 Opportunity

Under the brilliant lights, the Sonics starters appeared one by one.

Although Kemp entered the league earlier than Payton, one entered the league as a high school student, and the other entered the league after four years of college. Payton is one year older than Camp. Kemp has always regarded Payton as his big brother.

And Payton's performance on the court is good, and he does his part as the team leader.

After the last one came out, he enjoyed the cheers of the audience. At this moment, a huge sound wave hit the eardrums, reflecting the enthusiasm of the NBA.

Qin Fei felt like a fool, kept smiling, and clapped to a steady beat.

After sitting down, I let out a long sigh of relief, I haven't been a substitute for a long time, I'm really not used to it.

The starting players of the two teams stand in their respective positions, and the referee and the staff of the technical desk compare the time, and the game will start at that point.

Near the middle circle, Young Jim and Sabonis jumped off the ball.

How strong Sabonis is does not need to be repeated. To a certain extent, the reason why the Trail Blazers who sent Drexler away can still stand in the top eight teams in the Western Conference is because they have such a rookie in his 30s.

When he entered the NBA, his head looked twice as big as that of an ordinary center, and his knees were covered with thick knee pads. He was like a heavily loaded tractor driving into the F1 field. Although he couldn't outrun others, he was the real king in positional warfare.

For example, at this moment, Jim in the third grade stands in front of Sabonis, who is over 2 meters tall and weighs up to 20 kilograms, like a thin reed. People will worry about whether the little guy can withstand the devastation of the monster.

Jump ball, Jim won, a guy who can average 2.1 blocks per game in ten minutes, his wingspan and jumping are beyond doubt.

Then Payton followed the fast break tactics that the coach had arranged early in the morning, and rushed to the frontcourt as soon as he landed.

Last year against the Blazers, there were no players at the four who could keep up with Kemp's speed, but this year is different. They traded from the Bullets for Rasheed Wallace, a power forward who is also very athletic.

Moreover, Kemp discovered that this young man was not afraid of him at all, and even had time to spit out a few nonsense words, such as "You can't score fast breaks" and "It's not that easy to score."

This made Kemp amused, who did he think he was, a goddamn bugger?

The level of the two teams is very high, the offensive and defensive rhythm is very fast, especially in the confrontation, punching to the flesh.

Referees in this era have completely different standards for penalty scales than ten years later, especially when allowed by the handcheck rules, it is difficult for one-on-one defense on the outside to achieve "no offense" more than ten years later.

These Qin Fei are still understandable, after all, the defense in college is like this.

It's just that NBA players are higher-level and stronger, and stronger people use the same defense, and the effect is different.

He reckoned, it was unrealistic to think that such a trick could take down his opponent.

To gain a firm foothold in the team in the early stage, you must do a good job of defense.

This is also what he has been working hard to learn during this time.

In the first quarter of the game, the Sonics led the Blazers by only 22 point 21 to 1.

Qin Fei didn't have much chance to play, but Snow next to him came on the field early, substituting Payton for the second half of the first quarter.

During the intermission, head coach George Karl said some questions about the game.

"We must run faster and shoot more resolutely!"

"Once your teammates are open, trust your teammates."

Qin Fei stood at the outermost edge and was about to return to his seat to sit down when George Karl stopped him.

"Qin, get ready to play."

This should be the first time Qin Fei has appeared in an NBA arena. The smooth floor reflects his tall body, and his handsome face flashes on the big screen.

Some fans are very clear about the operation of the Sonics in the draft, and they also know that Qin Fei is currently the only Chinese player in the NBA.

Many fans don't know who this guy is, they only look at the skin color, and they are very surprised.

The preseason mainly focused on training the lineup, so George Karl almost used a 12-man rotation. Not only Qin Fei played, but Greg also played.

But Greg is also a defender!

So a little higher, Qin Fei, who is known as 198, can only be pushed to the third position again.

Qin Fei really didn't expect that after arriving in the NBA, he would be assigned to play the small forward position all the time.

The player facing him is the Blazers' backup small forward Gary Trent, who was selected with the No. 11 overall pick last year.

As for this Curry, he has good athletic ability and the ability to hit the basket, but he has no shooting ability. The height of the small forward is more like a short fourth.

If it develops normally, this guy later went to the Timberwolves and became Garnett's guard with a knife.

But at present, he is just a second-year player, and he is working hard to increase his playing time.

Trent was very serious about defending. His dark and thick arms never left Qin Fei's waist. When the referee glanced over, he restrained himself a little. As soon as the referee looked away, he immediately grabbed Qin Fei's clothes.

Do you want to talk some trash?

Qin Fei thought to himself that after all, he was the first player to match up with him in the NBA, and he should leave a deep and good impression on both sides. It would be a good choice to talk trash like Payton.

At this moment, Snow called out before him.

"Qin, outside the bomb tactics, run!"

Snow is a point guard. As soon as he commanded, Qin Fei was overjoyed. It is good to have a good relationship with the backup point guard!

In the summer league, Snow played like a combo guard. In the preseason, he began to show his mature side.

After some directing, the team's offensive tactics were sorted out in an orderly manner.

"Don't follow, rookies can't shoot!"

When Qin Fei was about to run out, Augmon of the Blazers shouted loudly.

what?

He actually looks down on his shooting. If there is no one to defend, can he still have a shot?

Sure enough, Trent stopped following Qin Fei after reaching the three-point line, and focused on the strong side ball holder. Snow wanted to pass to the open Qin Fei, but at this time the inside player Cummings wanted the ball.

After all, Cummings was a former All-Star player. After joining the Supersonics, he had the temperament of a locker room boss. How dare he not give it to a second-year player, and immediately dropped the ball in.

Cummings caught the ball and turned around to hook it, and then missed it after being interfered.

Qin Fei retreated quickly, and Portland had already attacked after getting the ball.

The speed of offensive and defensive transitions is particularly fast.

"I'm here to defend, I'm here to defend!"

Qin Fei moved quickly. When he turned his head and saw Snow who had been passed by, he immediately went to defend the opponent's ball holder, but the opponent suddenly slowed down, dribbled behind his back and switched to a place farther away from Qin Fei to protect the ball, and then threw the ball.

"Pong!"

Trent catches the ball and dunks with both hands.

"My mine!"

Snow raised his hand, indicating that he was responsible for the ball, and that he himself did not defend the opponent's point guard.

Before there was too much communication, Qin Fei wanted to run to the front court again.

During the attack, Snow wanted to show Qin Fei the ball, but there were quite a few people who wanted the ball, especially the two insiders, one was an old star general and the other was a former starter, all eager to prove themselves.

Qin Fei hadn't touched the ball much.

Trent, who was defending him, smiled: "Are you going to turn back and run a game like this?"

shit

Qin Fei really didn't expect the other party to speak so harshly without saying a word before.

But people who come out of the street can really talk trash, so Qin Fei immediately responded: "Don't you know that exercising more is good for your body?"

what?

Trent wondered why this person didn't follow the routine. What does it mean to do more exercise?

"Clang~"

At this moment, the Supersonic player hit an iron, and it just so happened that the ball bounced towards his back.

Trent's reaction was not as fast as Qin Fei's, and he was distracted again. Qin Fei bypassed him and rushed out. He suddenly reached out and seized the opportunity of the offensive rebound.

"Wow, the No. 18 rookie suddenly started like a cheetah and grabbed an offensive rebound!"

The host in the broadcast exclaimed.

Then I watched Qin Fei take advantage of the disordered position of the Peterland players, and directly covered his head and plunged in.

The aura of staring at the inside players is particularly amazing, as if others owe him millions, not like a rookie player at all
