It's October.
The much-anticipated 2008~2009 season, the preseason, officially kicked off.
NBA preseason games are warm-up games played by teams before the start of the NBA regular season.
Because at the end of each season, each team has considerable changes in the lineup, in order to let each team run in the lineup, familiarize themselves with their respective teams' playing style, determine the lineup of each team for the new season, and also improve the communication between players and coaches.
So before the start of each season, the NBA hosts several preseason games so that players can be in good shape for the long new season.
At the same time, the NBA has also set up many preseason games for overseas events to promote the NBA.
After all, in this business alliance, interests are the most important.
......
Throughout the preseason, the Thunder only had a 1-7 record.
Durant and Qin Feng basically didn't play much, and even suspended for 3 games.
The team's pre-season campaign is also largely focused on training, while also determining the team's 15-man squad.
The Thunder signed nearly 20 players this summer, and the team must cut a few more before the start of the new season....
In addition to the Thunder, the Lakers also only had a 1-7 record in the preseason.
Because Kobe Bryant and Gasol participated in the Olympics in the summer and their competitive form has been online, they did not play in the preseason.
The purpose of the Lakers' preseason is mainly to find form for players such as Bynum and Odom.
After all, preseason wins and losses don't count towards the regular season record, so they don't matter.
......
U.S. time, October 28.
Two days after the preseason ended, the NBA season opener officially began.
Fans all over the world are in a frenzy.
I haven't watched a game for a few months, but it's suffocating the fans.
On the first day of the new season, the NBA scheduled three key opening games.
They are the Cavaliers vs. the Celtics, the Bucks vs. the Bulls, and the Trail Blazers vs. the Lakers.
The highlight was the Cavaliers' away game against the Celtics.
The Cavaliers and Celtics fought seven games in the playoffs last season, and finally relied on Pierce's supernatural play to beat James in the tiebreaker, leading the team to win the game and enter the Eastern Conference Finals.
It also sent James out of the door to the Eastern Conference Finals again.
Clearly, the league scheduled this game to continue the feud between the two teams in last season's playoffs.
Early on, the media defined this game, thinking that it would be James' revenge battle.
Throughout the game, both sides played extremely anxiously.
In the final minute of the game, the Cavaliers started foul tactics, constantly letting Celtics players stand on the free throw line, while the Cavaliers grabbed three-pointers.
With James' last two consecutive three-pointers, the Celtics also won the Cavaliers by 5 points with a score of 85:90, making James' revenge battle a night of shame.
In the whole game, James only scored 22 points on 9-of-21 shooting, which was extremely inefficient.
New signing Mo Williams was similarly sluggish, scoring just 12 points on 4-of-10 shooting.
It was completely different from the media's pre-match expectations.
On the other hand, Pierce of the Celtics shot 10 of 19 from the field and scored 27 points, and he was in extremely hot form.
The Celtics also announced the return of the king in this way, telling the world that they are still the top contenders for the championship!
Also as the pride of the sky, after the Bulls selected Rose, they cultivated him as the core of the team.
All Chicago fans are looking forward to Rose as the team's savior and as the most promising player to lead the Bulls to the rise since Jordan.
Under the watchful eye, Rose was not frightened and was in a hot state, scoring 11 points, 4 rebounds and 9 assists.
For such a debut performance, Bulls fans are very satisfied.
Considering that this is only the first game of Rose's career, the number of near-double-doubles is already remarkable.
With the excellent play of him and the rest of the Bulls, the Bulls also ushered in a big victory.
The final game of the opener was a game between the Lakers and the Trail Blazers.
This race also attracted attention in the whole meter.
Not only is the Lakers the favorites highly anticipated, but the Trail Blazers' No. 1 pick Oden, who was selected last season, also made a comeback in the season opener after being injured in his rookie season.
Auden the Great has been hailed as a rare genius of the decade, and his template is superstars such as Duncan and Robinson.
After all, Durant has become a super scorer averaging 20 points per game in his rookie season, so what will happen to this talented player who overtakes Durant?
This has aroused the curiosity of all fans and media.
However, what I never expected was that Auden the Great fully interpreted what is called the attribute of the glass man in this game!
Less than half of the game, Auden withdrew due to injury.
Before retiring from injury, Oden played 13 minutes, shooting 0-of-4, scoring and grabbing only five rebounds.
Undoubtedly, Oden's performance was disappointing, while his prospects were once again clouded by injury.
The Lakers, on the other hand, showed a chilling strength.
In the whole game, the Lakers used a strong defense to let the Trail Blazers score only 76 points, while the Lakers scored 96 points, beating the Trail Blazers
by 20 points.
So far, all three games of the opening game have been played.
The related news quickly became the headline of the NBA's official website, sparking heated discussions among the majority of netizens.
One of the most regrettable is Auden's re-injury.
Many players have posted prayers for Oden, hoping that he can return to the field as soon as possible.
So the players know how important it is to stay healthy as a professional footballer...
The second matchday of the new season.
The NBA schedules as many as 12 games.
Among them, there are super teams such as the Lakers, Spurs, and Rockets that have attracted attention.
And the Thunder, the team that finished at the bottom of the league last season, has also received a lot of attention.
There is no other reason, just because of Qin Feng's existence.
There is no doubt that because of the addition of Qin Feng, the Thunder team has become one of the most watched teams in the Huaxia region.
What kind of performance will Qin Feng, who made a big difference in the Olympics and rejected the Lakers, Cavaliers and other strong teams when he landed in the NBA, perform in the first game of his NBA career?
This not only made all Chinese fans look forward to it, but even many fans of the United States were very interested in watching it.
In the game broadcast live by All-Rice, the Thunder even surpassed the Lakers in the ratings of this game.
In China, CCTV also chose the Thunder team's game for live broadcast early.
All the attention is coming to Qin Feng!
