Chapter 193 The Opening Battle: The End of an Era

On October 10st, Philadelphia, at night, the weather was not very good, with dark clouds and heavy rain!The evergreen branches on the side of the road were bent over!Under the faint light of street lamps, the rain is like a silver needle.The silver needle hit the mud beside the road, and mud slowly emerged on the side of the road.

However, even so, it still couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the fans!

Philadelphia 76ers home, Wachovia Center Arena!

"You Needed Me you need me~

when you say nothing at all
isn't it a wonder isn't it a miracle~

picture of you

i love the way you love me

......"

A song "love me for a reason" by the Irish band Boyzone resounded throughout the arena.

In the arena, the fans swayed and showed their singing voices to their heart's content. The crowd was surging, and the cheers of the fans were even more intense than the sound of rain outside!
……

"NBC TV, NBC TV, here is the opening game of the 97-98 NBA regular season that is being broadcast live for you. The two sides are the rising star Philadelphia 76ers and the defending champion Chicago Bulls at home."

The three familiar old guys reappeared in the TV footage.

"Hi everyone, I'm everyone's old friend Groom Albert!"

"Hi everyone, I'm Matt Gaucas."

"Hello, my name is Bill Walton."

These three old men don't want to miss every game between the Bulls and the 76ers, which is the highlight of the whole United States.

"A summer vacation has passed, but I believe everyone still remembers last season. Especially the matchups between Philadelphia and Chicago made many fans fall in love with the young 76ers deeply.

The Bulls kept their championship team intact, and the 76ers not only hired the famous coach Larry Brown, but also brought several champions during the summer vacation. Their lineup is very worth looking forward to.

So, do you two have anything to say about these two teams? "

Matt Gaucas, who answers all questions and answers all questions, is also habitually rushing to say: "Before the game, the official list of combat power was given, and the Bulls are still alone. I think this is very inappropriate. I don’t think the Bulls should be alone in the first place, at least this year’s Jazz still have a great chance to challenge the Bulls’ status. Last year’s success fell short, and this year’s comeback, the Black and White Shuangsha will definitely work harder.”

Bill Walton thinks: "I kind of agree with Matt's point of view. Judging from the previous preseason games, a reasonable collision zone has been added this season. After the three-point line returns to 7.25 meters, the inside competition in the regular season will be more difficult. Very intense. The Bulls' interior defense is okay, but the big man's interior offense is weak. And this year's expansion of the three-point line has also reduced the power of the Bulls' shooters. This season is a lot of teams. Opportunity."

The two old guys avoided talking about the 76ers. They had suffered enough losses from the 76ers last season, and they didn't want their innocence to be ruined.

It is better not to say than to say more and more mistakes.

The old groom also shook his head, two cunning guys.Forget it, let me do it.

"Both of them have a point. With the new season coming, the Bulls players are one year older, while the rising stars like the 76ers are another year old. Last season, the 76ers suddenly entered the playoffs, Even won a victory from the Bulls. This season, they have a strong lineup and a very deep bench. I think the 76ers have a lot to do this season! Of course, the current 76ers are still in trouble, but I believe they will not be long will rise."

...

Just when the three old men were talking about the same thing, the lights at the scene dimmed.

Players from both sides are ready to enter the field.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the next entry is the Bulls players,..."

The voice is soft and weak, and the host of the Philadelphia home court has already understood this well.

The Bulls players entered the field one after another, and the last one to enter the field was~
"……Michael Jordan."

It was a very flat voice, but there was still a huge voice at the scene, this is Jordan the Air Jordan!

However, after the Bulls players entered the field, the scene fell into 30 seconds of silence.

Stop!

The Bulls players also shook their heads with a smile, this is what they left over from their home games!

However, at this moment, the audience suddenly went dark, and when everyone was curious, the big screen above their heads suddenly lit up.

? ? ? ? ? ?
"Oh, what is that?"

In an instant, everyone saw it!

"Wow!"

The 76ers fans at the scene exclaimed!

It turned out that the big screen at the scene started to do something.

A short film was played on the big screen, which was about the contract issues of Jordan, Phil Jackson, Rodman, Pippen and the Bulls.Avatars and their contracts flashingly appear one by one!

In the summer, these four people almost broke up with the team because of contract issues!Although they made peace in the end, they are all on a one-year contract. What about next year's summer vacation?
The Philadelphia 76ers are also exhausted at home!
At the end of the clip, two lines appeared:

"The end of an era. (The end of an era)"

"Internal and external troubles, breaking the bull?"

A simple two lines of words, but it has a huge lethality.This is scheming!
"Oh oh oh!"

The 76ers fans at the scene were all excited, but the low-level Bulls players had different expressions.

Rodman was very angry, his lips moved, he didn't know what he was muttering; Pippen was very disdainful, shaking his head with a corner of his mouth; Jordan smiled.

"Is it the end of an era? It's still early!"

In the commentary booth, the three old men from NBC were also staring at the big screen.

The old groom is still very understanding.

"Indeed, the Bulls dynasty is really in danger of disintegration. Next summer will be a critical time for the NBA once every seven years. If the Bulls cannot solve the contract issues of these players and coaches well, then their dynasty may really It's almost over."

……

At this time, the scene also began to introduce the 76ers players to enter the field.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let us welcome our 76 people with the warmest applause!"

"...Frank King!"

Frank King is a bit of a saucy guy, he played all kinds of tricks, and he really feels like a big star.

"...Steve Nash!"

Nash, Stackhouse, and Coleman were a little lackluster when they entered the field, and their smiling faces were all forced out.Anyone can see that they are not happy in the team.

……

last entry

"The next entry is the youngest team captain in the NBA. He is a talented player from the other side of the ocean. He is the youngest All-Star player. He won the MVP of the Rookie Challenge, the champion of the three-point contest, and the champion of the slam dunk contest. He was last year's Rookie of the Year, rookie season~he's ours, Lee~~~"

"Ooooooooo!!!"

"Lee, Lee, Lee!"

Amidst the enthusiastic voices, Li Nan walked into the arena slowly.

Li Nan himself didn't expect that after one season, he would gain so many names!
However, listening to others read it, it feels really cool.

Of course, it would be even more wonderful if it was replaced with a bigger prize.

"The revolution has not yet succeeded!"

……

When the finale played, it was still Iverson.

"...let's welcome, Allen~~Iverson~~~"

Cold eyes, hip-hop style steps, unique ditch hairstyle.

"what!!!"

"Alan! Alan! Alan!"

Iverson is still the favorite of fans in this city, no one can compare, no one can compare!
