Card Bishop of Basketball

Chapter 46
Not to mention that at Georgetown University, Meng Yifan was leading the team to play training games in full swing. As time went by, November 11st, the NBA opening game, came in a blink of an eye.

In this off-season, the Phillies experienced excitement, disappointment, excitement again, and then disappointment again, despair after the final lineup was released, and a series of psychological activities. As the new season was about to begin, their team's free market was completely missed. All the big fish, not even the small fish and shrimps were caught.

The Wachovia Center Arena, a brand new arena, has just been put into use this year. The owner of Philadelphia has high hopes for this arena, and wants the new championship in the new season and the new arena. All the money was poured into the new arena project, making the team uncompetitive at all.

The new arena has a lot of benefits. Fans who come to watch the game at home can receive free white jerseys. This was originally a treatment only available at home in the playoffs, but now it has become a must-have benefit for home games in the new season.

Thanks to Iverson and the addition of an All-Star shooting guard like Richmond, the major media commented on the Philadelphia Digital Man as being able to enter the playoffs, but the playoffs will not go far. The team's outside line is good, but the inside line only relies on a group of marginal players and two first-year giants, so it won't go too far.

Fans who have been fed up with Philadelphia's poor performance over the years said that even if the team can only make it to the playoffs, they are willing to support it. After all, the record has been in the bottom three these years, and the playoffs are victory!

Some experts claimed that it would be difficult for these two big men to adapt to the rhythm of the NBA. Whether it was a quick 24-second offense or a biting confrontation inside, they would be unable to adapt and leave the NBA in despair.

Regarding Battelle's 3-year contract of 100 million yuan and insisting on taking 1 year of 50 yuan, the brickman expressed sympathy and said that he missed the biggest contract in his life, and he would definitely regret it.

By the way, domestic TV stations have also obtained the rights to broadcast the Philadelphia game. The two seedlings in the country are all in Philadelphia, so it is hard not to support the Philadelphia digital people.

(The bosses scolded lightly on this point. If this space-time Morey made stupid remarks, Philadelphia would not hire Morey even for the sake of Ma Jian and Daba. After all, he has tasted the sweetness of the Chinese market. Not everyone with cerebral palsy will offend Chinese fans again.)
At [-] o'clock in the evening, that is, at [-] o'clock in the morning in China, the game started. Although Stern didn't like Iverson, he always liked the Philadelphia team. The people here are good-looking and nice-talking, especially The two Chinese faces made him very happy.

The Bucks started with five players, they were like a rainbow, jumping around, especially Ray Allen, who was caught and beaten by Georgetown every day in college. Now he can be regarded as a daughter-in-law who has been a wife for many years. He found the big brother and saw the chance of winning hope.

Bucks starting lineup:

Point guard: Sherman Douglas, 1 meters tall. He entered the NBA in 83. He is now past his prime period as a player. His condition is getting worse year by year, and he does not have much fuel left.

Shooting guard: Ray Allen, who is gearing up to beat Iverson. He knows in his heart that he has no chance of winning against Richmond, so he waits for his teammates to beat Iverson. teammate.

Small Forward: Glenn Robinson, the No. 94 pick in 10, nicknamed "Big Dog". Like Deng Jiaxian, he was born at Purdue University. What makes him famous is that after being selected, he insisted on signing with the team for 6800 years A contract of [-] million, which also forced the NBA to introduce standard contract rules for first-round picks.

Then?Then he changed from a high-paying long-term contract to a cheap child labor contract. He watched Jordan's successors in the same class as him-Grant Hill, Huo's second uncle Juwan Howard, and won [-] million yuan in offseasons. High salary, if you say that Big Dog has no regrets, it must be a lie
Power forward: Vin Baker is notoriously undisciplined. The most famous thing is that during the lockout in 99, the labor and management sat at the negotiating table and tossed and tossed repeatedly. Vin Baker was eating and drinking.As a result, when the competition started in February of the following year, the body fatness of Wen Baker, who was prominent at the time, was already on par with 2 pounds. (approximately 500 kg)

Center: Andrew Lang, once played for Philadelphia, but the current state is that Wang Xiaoer's Chinese New Year, every year is not as good as every year, and he should retire if he plays again, but what more can you expect from him as a blue-collar center.

By the way, Andrew Lang's salary this year is 270 million US dollars, compared to Richmond, um... Conclusion, Andrew Lang + random basic salary = Richmond
Feel the cheapness of rocks again!
For the Philadelphia digital people, Iverson, Richmond, Ma Jian, Battelle, Big Z.When Battelle first came, there were still many people who looked down on him, thinking that he came in because of his skin color. The gossip said that Iverson had an inexplicable special interest in Chinese players, such as Ma Jian...

For this kind of fight for the ball, Daba relied first on hard power and second on his fists, but his Mongolian wrestling skills that he had cultivated since he was a child did not come into use. Easily won the starting position.

Seeing this performance, the management team of Philadelphia Digits felt regretful, and could only hope that the performance of the bus was only a flash in the pan, and the state was better, otherwise the contract renewal this year would be a sky-high contract...

On the opening jump ball, Vin Baker jumped high, but he couldn't bear Big Z's terrifying altitude and amazing wingspan. Big Z clicked on the spot, and he didn't know whether he jumped or not, and the ball fell into Iverson's hands. , with the cheers of Philadelphia fans on the sidelines, Iverson advanced with the ball.

Waving his hand to reject Ma Jian's pick-and-roll, Iverson singled out Dougris, shaking continuously, Dougris' center of gravity was unstable, Iverson made a breakthrough, and facing Robinson's help defense, Iverson flashed another bad luck, Then he went straight to the inside, facing the two inside defenses, the small tie rod scored the ball.

Douglas stumbled and dribbled the ball to the front court, took the ball, and didn't know who to give it to, to Vin Baker who was squeezed and almost couldn't stand still?Or for Ray Allen facing an All-Star veteran defense?Or Andrew Lang, who looks cute at the basket, doesn't seem to be a good choice.

The big dog came out to ask for the ball and took continuous tentative steps with the ball. Ma Jian stretched out his arms and did not stagger.

It's not a problem to stare blankly, the big dog scored two points, Ma Jian stepped forward and interfered, the ball was lucky, it bounced twice on the basket and fell into the net.

This time, Richmond got the ball right in Philadelphia. As the MVP of the 95 NBA All-Star Game, he worked diligently for the Kings for so many years. He was cleared out because of his mediocre results in leading the team. Naturally, he felt depressed. Take a breath.

But things are different, and everything here belongs to that rebellious little man. Two Chinese people with amazing strength are his good friends. Richmond is willing to be the second master, but it does not mean that Said he was really old.

Dribbling, feinting, changing directions continuously, and squeezing his body, Ray Allen took a small step back to adjust his body to prevent a breakthrough, but Richmond was unreasonable and directly retreated to three The shot was fired from outside the point line. Although Ray Allen made a good defense of the ball, Richmond shot more resolutely.

The basketball passed through Ray Allen's fingertips. Maybe if he hadn't taken that small step back just now, the ball would have been a risk, but basketball has no ifs. It's useless to regret the defensive choices you make. Basketball is like With the guidance system installed, he fell directly into the Nets steadily and scored a three-pointer.
