King of the Point Guard Era

Chapter 52
In the regular new season press conference before the first game, both the Kings and Timberwolves became the focus of many reporters. Not only has the rebuilding core Kevin Love, but also traded two draft picks to Beasley, the second pick in 08.

"Coach Westphal, may I ask if the goal of the Kings this year is the playoffs?"

"Of course, our goal has always been the playoffs, but after getting Iguodala, we are closer to the goal." Although Westphal is old, he still speaks clearly.

The reporter who heard this sentence just curled his lips. He didn't know how the king's team that was crazy last season seemed to want to qualify for the playoffs, but he had other big moves: "Take the best rookie in exchange for He, and He performed well in the World Championships, but the team traded Iguodala again, so who is the first core?"

"He is a young man with the hard work of a young man, and Iguodala has brought veteran experience to this group of young people. Both of them are indispensable cores. As for who you want to care about is the first At the core, my advice to you is to ask the Heat, I think people are more curious about that, aren't they?"

Westphal wittily resolved one embarrassing problem after another. The King's new schedule was very unfriendly at the beginning. Three consecutive visitors challenged the Timberwolves, Nets, and Cavaliers, but fortunately, these three teams were not strong. Team.In the locker room of the visiting team, He Yixiang was trembling with excitement.The game finally started, and Iguodala, as a veteran who was selected as an All-Star, also played the role of the leader of the locker room: "Okay, rookies, although this is only the first game, let's go and teach the opponent a lesson Bar."

The Kings start with five players: point guard He Yixiang, shooting guard Garcia, small forward Iguodala, power forward Carl Landry, and center Cousins. Three of them are still on rookie contracts. Sins made his debut.

The Timberwolves started with five players: point guard Luke Ridnour, shooting guard Corey Brewer, small forward Beasley, power forward Kevin Love, and center Milicic.Speaking of the top 03 players in the 5 draft, 4 of them became the top super giants in the NBA. Except for the No. [-] Milicic, he entered the NBA as the No. [-] pick and became a member of the championship team Pistons, but the head coach Larry Brown He doesn't like to use rookies, and he is only sent on the field every time the game has been determined to win. He has also won a nickname of "Human Meat Victory Cigar".But the good thing is that he won the NBA championship in his first year.

Cousins ​​overwhelmed Milicic and jumped to the ball. He Yixiang quickly started to catch the ball, and Ridnour quickly chased and defended. Unfortunately, he was far from explosive and powerful for He Yixiang, leaning on Ridnour's thin body , He Yixiang made an easy layup and scored the first point of his career in the Target Center Arena. He Yixiang, who scored the first point, became more and more out of control. Guarding against a high-arcing pass that flew over his palm, Cousins ​​caught the ball and dunked it alley-oop.The King's two rookies didn't want to play in the NBA for the first time. They directly beat the Timberwolves 3:9 in 2 minutes. He Yixiang directly stopped the Timberwolves with 5 points and 1 assist. The fans in the Target Center were all angry at this time No, facing the Kings was supposed to be a close game, but what is it called to be stopped by a rookie on the opposite side? Many fans have already started booing their players at home.Not only the fans, but Timberwolves head coach Kurt Rambis also looked livid. He didn't know that Ridnor's defense was poor, but he never expected to be blown up like this. 3 points and 5 assist in 1 minutes, how about 30 minutes?

"Brewer, you switch defenses with Ridnour, you go to guard that rookie, and teach this rookie a good lesson in NBA stories." His wingspan is also enough to make up for his lack of confrontation, and this time he is facing He Yixiang, who is not the kind of big-ass defender.

"Hey, rookie, are you the one who chased Miss Su? I think he was the dream lover of everyone on our basketball team at the beginning. For this, I have to educate you again." Brewer said to He Yixiang and the test Sins was very impressed. It was they and another unknown high school student who almost defeated the trio of him, Horford and Noah. In the end, they only narrowly won by two goals.

He Yixiang didn't pay attention to him. He lost to him once in 08, and this time he can't lose again.Dribbling behind the back and changing direction to break through, there was a little space left. He Yixiang directly wanted to speed up and cut in, but he stretched his long arm straight over. He Yixiang narrowly escaped the blow, but he also lost the opportunity to break through. "Not bad, little rookie, I almost let you pass." Brewer, who had regained his focus, also secretly said in his heart that this boy was indeed much more difficult to deal with than two years ago.But even though he didn't make a breakthrough, He Yixiang made a wonderful pass to Iguodala who made an air cut. After receiving the ball, Iguodala took off forcibly and dunked the ball into the basket.While running back, Iguodala signaled to He Yixiang that the pass was very good.So far, the king's mini Big Three have all scored.

However, Timberwolves' new aid Beasley also began to go crazy. Facing the defensive giant Iguodala, he made full use of his height of 10 cm higher than Iguodala. The shot drew cheers from the fans at the Target Center.He Yixiang was a little troubled by Brewer's long arms. Not only did he break through, but he even interfered with the passing route. Fortunately, Cousins, another rookie of the Kings, also showed his future dominant insider performance , Successive singles human flesh victory cigars, two consecutive hooks, and even hit two plus one for the second time, Cousins ​​also roared excitedly, scored seven points and two rebounds in the first quarter, and also kept The Timberwolves took the lead and entered the second quarter with an 25-point advantage at 17:8.Coach Rambis saw Cousins ​​playing so well, and then looked at Wesley Johnson sitting on the bench. He regretted missing this inside behemoth, but when he saw the two rookies on the opposite side playing at the same time When it was good, I was also hesitating in my heart whether I should also give the No. [-] pick a chance to perform.

　Happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone
