I really play basketball

Chapter 80

At the end of the game, the reporters didn't know what to write tomorrow's headlines.

Is Barkley midfielder kissing a donkey's ass in the headlines, or is it Barkley's broken tailbone and bullshit in the headlines?

Finally, they set their sights on Lin Xing, who was being interviewed by the court.

"This game is your official debut in the NBA. You scored 29 points, 8 rebounds, 10 assists and 3 steals. Do you have anything to say about this?"

It wasn't until this time that the reporters gathered at the scene remembered that today's game was Lin Xing's NBA debut.

In the first show, such a quasi-triple-double data was hit, and the hit rate was as high as [-]%.

They quickly thought of those rookies who had perfect debuts in NBA history.

威尔特·张伯伦，43分28篮板；奥斯卡·罗伯特森，21分12篮板10助攻；伊塞亚·托马斯，31分11助攻；大卫·罗宾逊，23分17篮板3盖帽。

Excluding the metamorphosis of Chamberlain in ancient times, Lin Xing is qualified to compare the rest.

If you compare it with the number one scholar who is right in front of you——

92年的鲨鱼，首秀12分18个篮板；91年的拉里·约翰逊，首秀14分3个篮板2个助攻2个盖帽；90年的德里克·科尔曼，11分12个篮板2个助攻2个抢断3个盖帽。

Lin Xing suddenly became the only one there.

"The first rookie in history, this statement, at least until now, is not wrong."

Off the court, some reporters expressed emotion.

On the court, Lin Xing had already answered:

"This is a very good start. I hope that after countless years, everyone will say that this is the first step of a legend..."

The reporters on the sidelines were stunned. Did this just call themselves a legend?

But strictly speaking, there is nothing wrong with this passage.

Claiming to be a legend is much better than saying that reaching the semi-finals means success.

Showing confidence is better than showing timidity on the spot.

Some of the reporters have already thought about how to write tomorrow's headlines.

Some reporters also noticed on the sidelines that Nelson Sr. shook hands with Paul Westphal.

Many people don't know that there is also a relationship between the two.

When they were players, they were teammates. When they played for the Celtics together, they played role players and won championships together.

They have also played against each other. In the 75-76 season, Paul Westphal was sent to the Suns by the Celtics. As a result, he leapt forward and became the number one star of the Suns.

That season, he led the Suns to the finals, and the opponent in the finals that year was the Celtics who sent him away.

As a result, the two teams fought a battle, and there was even a three-overtime battle in the finals known as "the greatest game in NBA history".

"Without Charles' gamble, we would have won this game."

On the sidelines, Paul Westphal was very unconvinced.

Old Nelson ignored him: "You have the final say, Paul."

He didn't want to compete with Westphal, because Westphal was too aggressive.

The current old Nelson is full of the current warriors.

"Statistics made a great debut and is one short of a rotation shooter on the perimeter. …

There are also insiders, Tyrone is enough for the time being, but if you want to become a championship-level strong team, you have to upgrade Tyrone to his upgraded version. "

After the interview, Lin Xing wanted to find Barkley.

Come back soon?The game is over, what about people?

As a result, he searched all over the Oakland Stadium but couldn't find Barkley.

It wasn't until the second day after the game that he learned from media reports that——

"Charles Barkley has pulled the heel of his thigh and will miss the start of the new season for a month."

Lin Xing was stunned, the root of the thigh?Has Barkley really messed up?
Barkley, who had already followed the Sun's plane and returned to Phoenix, didn't want to mention the opening game again, and he didn't even want to recall the memories.

He thought of before this season, a reporter asked him which was the most painful game in his career so far.

He picked Game [-] of last season's Finals...

In that game, the Suns came within a hair's breadth of winning the game when John Paxson's clutch [-]-pointer crushed them.

But now, if he could choose again, Barkley would choose the game that just ended.

Because it was so painful, until now, he could still feel the desperate pain from the testicles.

This season, which should have belonged to him, seemed to be due to Dandan's injury, and it didn't belong to him anymore.

Because he will be absent for at least a month, which is too long.

……

On the second day of the season, the Warriors will head to Dallas to play back-to-back games.

Such a schedule is indeed a bit perverted.

But there are 15 other teams that have also suffered from such a perverted schedule...

A total of 8 teams in 16 games, except for the Sonics who did not play on the opening day, the other 15 teams have to face a back-to-back abnormal schedule on the second day of the season.

So, after the opening game, Lin Xing boarded the plane to Dallas without even having time to rest.

Not long after boarding the plane, Lin Xing was woken up by a loud noise.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Xiao Chong's fat face close to him.

He froze for a moment, and following Xiao Chong's eyes looking forward, he realized——

Xiaochong actually held a camera and snapped several photos of Lin Xing from a selfie angle.

Looking at the pictures in the camera, not only Xiao Chong, but also Madman, Tyrone Hill, Chris Gatlin, Dale Demps, and Byron Houston are all around him.

A group of people facing the camera, making all kinds of grimaces.

It wasn't until this moment that Lin Xing came to his senses: "Hey! Tim, what are you guys doing?"

With a bang and a loud exclamation, Lin Xing's side was instantly emptied.

At this moment, the plane shook.

"It's nothing, it's nothing, Si Da, you sleep on your..."

"Don't try to cover this up, I've seen it all, give me the camera!"

Lin Xing interrupted Xiao Chong viciously, while grabbing the camera from Xiao Chong's hand.

But the camera at this time is not a smart camera, and all he can see are a few blurred films.

The owner of the camera, the team reporter Eric Strauss of the San Jose Mercury News, came over and said that he didn't know which of the films in it were newly shot by the bugs.

It is absolutely impossible for Lin Xing to destroy these films.

Because many of the films in it are extremely important, if they are really going to be destroyed, Strauss will lose his job. .

Lin Xing had no choice but to return the camera to Strauss.

He knew that it was inevitable that his sleeping photos would spread.

"Gan!"

Turning around, Xiao Chong and the others had already played cards around a table.

Lin Xing was speechless. Are these black players really so energetic?

He turned his head and returned to his position, ready to sleep again.

But there were other things on my mind, and I couldn't sleep anymore.

So, he stood up again and leaned over to watch Xiao Chong play cards.

After watching it for a while, Lin Xing felt bored, and put down a sentence:

"You guys are too boring to play. After a few days, I will teach you a new board game, which is definitely a hundred times more interesting than this."

The plane landed in Dallas quickly, but it was already the early morning of the next day.

From the airport to the hotel, passing a newsstand, Lin Xing found a batch of newspapers exuding the aroma of ink.

He immediately asked Dale Demps, who was sitting in the front row, to go down and buy a few copies. Soon, he saw various headlines of the NBA's opening day.

……

"The No. [-] pick made a perfect debut, and the words of the No. [-] rookie in history are true."

"Sir Charles lost the bet and showed his kissing skills at halftime."

"Fliggy retired from a bizarre injury, and the start of the new season was not going well."

"Teammate and rival on the basketball court, now rival on the basketball court, Don Nelson led the new Warriors to defeat Paul Westphal."

"NBA Opening Day Summary: The Bulls received the championship rings, Barkley faced the worst loss of his career, the No.

In any case, Lin Xing's performance is worth bragging about.

Except for the match against Barkley in the last half of the final quarter, the whole game did not lose the wind;
High hits and high efficiency, quasi-triple-double data, compared with those historical rookies, also does not fall behind;
And, as the core of the Warriors in this game, Lin Xing also played the role that the core should have.

The media with good things also summarized the performance of other popular rookies on the opening day——

The Magic's opponent in the first game was the big-bodied Heat. The Sharks scored 42 points and 12 rebounds, so the victory of the game has nothing to do with Penny.

他13投6中，只得到了12分，另有8个篮板8个助攻入账。

Judging from the process of the game, Pence also played a little uncomfortable.

The Heat knew that they had no way to kill the Sharks, so they chose the defensive strategy of emptying the Sharks and locking up the other Magic players.

The result is that Penny has very few opportunities and can only pass the ball constantly.

There is also a giant shark under the basket. Several of his ordinary passes, in the hands of the shark, directly turned into assists.

Without the Sharks, Penny's numbers would only be worse.

John Gabriel has already regretted it a bit, if he is more cruel in the draft.

In this game, he will be able to see Star Shaq's double star.

Championship hot?It's not impossible!

Look at the Warriors now. Although they have a huge inside disadvantage, they still defeated the defending runner-up Phoenix Suns in the opening game.

Lin Xing's offensive and defensive matchup against Barkley did not fall behind, and made a masterpiece.

If Lin Xing is replaced by the Magic to make up for the disadvantages of the inside line, it will not be Wu Di!

……

The opponent of the Bullets in the first game was the 76ers. Although the 76ers were also a big fish, the Bullets failed to win as they wished.

Because of the existence of Tom Gugliotta, Chris Webber was forced to the center position.

面对生涯倒数第二年的摩西·马龙，他12投5中，得到了15分7个篮板3个助攻3个抢断2个盖帽。

This statistic is actually not bad. Although the hit rate is a bit low, it is all-around.

Billing Star is completely incomparable, but compared with pennies, there is still no problem.

After all, Penny played too messily and was not eye-catching at all.

In contrast, although Weber lost, he still had some impressive performances.

For example, Moses Malone was given two caps at the basket, and another example, across Moses Malone, he dunked a full house.

Moses Malone: ​​Should I retire?

If there is no Lin Xing, Webb may be satisfied with the first game of his career.

but now……

"I think it's a matter of position. I'm a power forward and shouldn't be in the center position."

After the game, in an interview, Weber found a suitable reason.

Wes Unseld also said that he would consider adjusting the starting lineup.

……

The Timberwolves also lost their first game, to the aging Pistons.

The white twin towers of Christian Laettner and Sean Bradley are very young, and in this game, they were indeed beaten as children.

Bill Laimbeer is so old, he's not even a starter for the Pistons anymore.

But coming off the bench, he and Alden Polynis beat the Timberwolves' white twin towers so much that they didn't dare to move.

The Timberwolves lost defensive rebounds frantically, and finally ushered in a fiasco.

Dream team member Christian Laettner only scored 11 points and 6 rebounds, which was a disappointing performance.

Even more disappointing was Sean Bradley, who had 6 points and 4 rebounds. This was his performance in 27 minutes.

Even without Lin Xing personally playing a game with the Timberwolves, and without Chris Webber playing a game with the Timberwolves, Jack McCloskey has become the biggest joke in this year's draft.

"Shawn Bradley, new hope for white center? Hahahaha!"

"Stalin Lin made a historic rookie debut, Chris Webber also played an average rookie-level performance, Sean Bradley..."

"Jack McCloskey missed all the right answers and chose the only one wrong."

Why are all the correct answers?Because there are still two high-ranking rookies, they played the performance of ordinary rookies.

Isaiah Ryder had a half-bad performance in beating the Wizards against the Bullets.

他10投5中，三分4中2，五成命中率拿下13分2个篮板2个助攻。

Although it can't be compared with the top three picks, at least it looks much better than Sean Bradley.

And, most surprisingly, Jamal Mashburn.

In the first game of the season, the Mavericks lost to the Jazz, but Jamal Mashburn made 15 of 8 shots and scored 22 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists.

At this time, ESPN draft expert Chad Ford was asking——

"If the trade for Starbucks and Chris Webber was because they didn't want to go to the freezing Minnesotapolis, why didn't the Timberwolves choose Jamal Mashburn with the Warriors' No. [-] pick in the first round?"

Timberwolves fans were in tears. Last year, Christian Laettner could use the reason that he didn't have the top two picks and couldn't pick Sharks and Mourning.

But this year, the league has given you the No. [-] pick, and you can still pick the wrong one.

With this draft level, what's the use of having so many draft picks?
……

Jamal Marsh, who was the second-best rookie in the season opener, deserved all the praise.

"A true kaleidoscope on offense, the Mavericks have the right guy!"

"Mid-range and long-range shooting, all kinds of post-up singles, he reminds me of Michael Jordan."

"Compared to Penny, who was mixed with the Sharks, and Chris Webber, who couldn't feel it in Washington, Jamal Mashburn was able to support the sky alone in Dallas."

"..."

He also said in an interview after the game: "I am proving that I am the second best player in this draft!"

Why is it second best and not first?It sounds a little cowardly.

But please note that from the beginning of the NCAA, Marsh is a staunch supporter of Lin Xing.

He was the first to admit that Lin Xing was a strong opponent, and the first to point out the fact that Lin Xing was the only one.

Therefore, it is impossible for him to think that he is the best player in this draft.

He thinks he is the second best in this draft, and he is already a madman's lie.

But Mashburn didn't completely follow his heart, because the schedule was a coincidence——

In the second game, the Mavericks will face the Warriors. Jamal Mashburn will also challenge Lin Xing, who is the No. [-] pick in this draft, as the No. [-] pick.

When facing reporters, he announced: "Even if the opponent is strong, we will not back down!"

And, he talked about Lin Xing: "Sta is indeed the strongest in our class, but after entering the NBA, everyone is growing, including me, the first match after the NCAA, I think I have a chance."

……

Although Mashburn had the second-best performance of a rookie in the opening game, the Mavericks were still underwhelming.

Except for this year's No. 4 rookie Mashburn and last year's No. 4 rookie Jim Jackson, the rest of the Mavericks don't even have an NBA starter.

Moreover, their inside line is so weak that the two starters are replaced by other teams, and they can't even play as substitutes.

Facing such an opponent, Lin Xing directly returned to the summer league.

In fact, except for Jim Jackson, the Mavericks' lineup is really no different from the summer league.

The two starting insiders are the starting insiders of the Mavericks Summer League. The reason why Derek Harper did not play the Summer League is because he is old enough. In terms of strength, he should also play the Summer League.

With this lineup, the Warriors can easily win even without Lin Xing's efforts.

But Lin Xing chose to further refine——

At the beginning, he punched hard, made two breakthroughs, a dunk and a 2+1, and he scored 5 points.

After that, the Mavericks began to double-team Lin Xing.

But the problem is that this kind of strong pinch defense can't withstand Lin Xing's impact at all.

就这样，这场比赛，林星更进一步，19投11中独得28分7个篮板11个助攻5个抢断1个盖帽。

In a battle of disheveled food and another incomparably luxurious data, Lin Xing even managed to get rid of Mashburn who thought he had a chance.

He made only 21 of 6 shots against the defensive Mashburn and scored only 15 points.

After this game, Lin Xing's statement that he is the only rookie this year is not subject to any doubts.

This victory allowed the Warriors to get two consecutive victories of the season, but soon, they lost.

On November 11, the third game of the season, they challenged the Houston Rockets away.

Dameng made a shot and racked up 32 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 blocks, ending the Warriors' winning streak.

The disadvantage of the inside line has been magnified again.
