Chapter 107

It has been raining continuously for several days, and thick black clouds squeeze the sky.

In the distance, there is the outline of the mountain, and the rain is like a soft net, covering the whole world.

This is Seattle, the beautiful land of Zhong Ling and the gray rainy day, always makes Qin Fei feel that someone is going through a catastrophe.

The first day of November is also the day when the regular season kicks off.

At this time, there is no opening game and only a few focus battles, which is more realistic.

On this day, the 28 teams in the league that had rested for the summer all played games, and only one team had a bye.

Seattle is obviously not the bye team. On the contrary, Seattle has games on the first day and the second day of the game.

Fortunately, they are all playing at home, which also slightly reduces the burden on the players.

The first two teams I encountered were both western teams.

The Jazz in the first game, the Blazers in the second game.

How are the 82 games allocated? To put it simply, it is a home and away game against different leagues, that is, one home and one away game against the Eastern team, and the rest of the games are against the Western team.

So in the west, it is normal to play a few more games with the western teams.

For example, with the Trail Blazers in the same division, a total of four games will be played, two home games and two away games.

The Jazz are playing an away game and came to Seattle one day earlier.

The Jazz during this period was a well-known top team in the league.

Or to be precise, since the Jazz selected Utah Shuangsha, they have been one of the best teams in the league, and they have been stable for 20 years.

The only downside is that they haven't won a championship.

This is also when the times make heroes and fate makes fun of them.

In the early days of Shuangsha's rise, they encountered black and white contending for supremacy, and in the middle period they encountered the Bull Dynasty.

The fans in Utah are very depressed. They thought that with the aging of the Shuangsha, the Jazz would definitely not be competitive anymore. Unexpectedly, the pair became more and more demonic as they got older. Last season, they played 7 games against the Supersonics in the Western Conference Finals.

So the first game arranged by the league was the grievance battle of last season.

In fact, not only last season, but several years ago, the two teams often met in the playoffs.

It is very common for fans to fight each other.

And this away game was also the focus of the national live broadcast that day.

Qin Fei's deepest impression of the Jazz was Uncle Qiao's vote of the century two years later.

In the current Jazz team, he doesn't know anyone, and none of the players he knew in college has a chance to join the Jazz before the new season.

For him, it is a very strange team.

The personnel are unfamiliar, but I have watched a lot of videos.

As soon as the schedule came out, assistant coach Bob Withey showed Qin Fei the videos of the Jazz and the Sonics last season, so that Qin Fei could understand the characteristics of each Jazz player, especially some substitute players, who Qin Fei would directly match up with.

It's night time soon.

It was the home opening game that day, and many fans came, and the attendance rate was very high.

Fans in the city still love the Sonics and come to Sonics games whenever they can, many of whom are season ticket holders.

The fire spewed out from the floor, and the young soul became more and more restless under the passionate roar of the DJ.

Seattle's IT elites and white-collar workers are a bright spot among fans.

After the tiredness of the day faded away, the passion of the night was instantly mobilized.

They need to yell, they need to be unleashed, and games are certainly the best form of entertainment.

There's no owner here, just a manic Seattle fan, you shout your throat and no one talks about you

At the entrance of the passage, Qin Fei stood in the middle position, with big bosses in front and behind, the middle position is the best, low-key and steady, which fits his temperament and personality very well.

Some fans on both sides stretched out their hands and wanted to high-five the players.

Everyone ran out one by one, and Qin Fei raised his arms, just in time to touch the fans on both sides.

"Crack~"

high five!

A young fan who was high-fiving Qin Fei got excited, opened his mouth exaggeratedly, and then showed off to his little friend: "I buy it, I high-fived with NBA players!"

"Hahaha, look at your excited look, don't I give you a high five too?"

Another little friend silently raised his hand and held on, feeling as if he had invested in the lore.

In summer, short-sleeved players will appear on the stage. In November, the temperature drops sharply, and long-sleeved training jackets will be worn over short-sleeved ones.

Entering the field one by one to receive the cheers of the audience, the lights tracked each player, and the big screen showed the camera, which is familiar to die-hard fans.

This is their beloved team, the pride of Seattle.

When Kemp and Payton raised their hands, the sound wave of the audience reached its peak, and everyone let out howls of ghosts and wolves, as if the momentum seemed to overturn the entire arena.

The sound waves gathered together and impacted people's eardrums.

Qin Fei was very envious when he heard this.

He looked at Kemp and Peyton, two people who were full of ambition and were the darlings of Seattle.

A person dedicates all his youth and sweat to this city, and the most important thing to report to him is the love from this city.

This is the charm of competitive sports, one person, one city, one city, one person.

Qin Fei definitely didn't reach this point. He could only applaud blankly like a tool man, and then sat on the bench at almost the same rhythm as Snow.

The game was just entering the evening local time, but it was already late at night on the East Coast.

However, in New York, many people are still paying attention to the game.

For example, Aunt Julie's family, she and Mandy stood in front of the TV, waiting for Qin Fei to appear on the screen.

It did appear, but only briefly.

But it was enough to make them both cheer. There is nothing more exciting than seeing family members on TV.

The starters on both sides took off their training jackets.

Peyton with a loud voice called everyone together.

"Guys, this is our first game against the Utah Jazz. They are our losers. I want to kick their ass for a long time. What do you think?"

What kind of words are these? We're not playing football. After hearing this, Qin Fei silently complained.

But these words were very exciting to the ears of others. When it was said that they wanted to play the Jazz, who had been entangled in the past two years, everyone felt as if they had been beaten.

They stood shoulder to shoulder, stretched out their long arms, and folded their palms together.

Qin Fei didn't know if he had stacked it, anyway, he formed a circle, which meant it must be in place.

"One two three, SuperSonics (Supersonic team name)!"

While the crowd roared, those who should go on the field went on, and those who should sit down sat down again.

The Sonics are still the regular starter, and the only difference from last season is that the third-year "Mr. 3000 Million" Jim served as the starting center.

For the Jazz, positions [-] to [-] are John Stockton, Jeff Hornacek, Brian Russell, Karl Malone, and Greg Ostertag.

Jazz players are familiar to many fans. In addition to the two evergreen trees, the joining of Hornacek, known as the "Death Gun", is also the key to the Jazz's take-off in recent years.

Qin Fei looked at Karl Malone who took off his coat, staring at his pocket.

So fucking strong!

Standing there, Ma Long felt as thick as the two bamboo poles of Camp Gajim.

Unlike Sabonis in the Blazers that day, Malone not only has a thick lower body, but also a very burly upper body. The muscles of the whole person are like cast steel.

In addition to Malone, the Jazz's new big center is also very strong.

Greg, a sophomore, is 2 meters tall and weighs 18 kilograms.

That's why the style of the Jazz is particularly interesting. The two veteran players in the backcourt are very thin, and from the frontcourt to the center, one is stronger than the other.

On the Supersonic side, the strongest is Kemp, who is known for his explosive power.

Just looking at this form, it can be seen that the two teams have their own different styles.
