Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

After waiting for more than half a month, the opening game of the new season is finally about to begin.

There is almost no doubt that the Wizards, a salty team last season, have become an upstart in the new season. They not only have the new No. 1 pick in the draft, but also the comeback of Jordan. They have sent away Juwan Howard and freed up space. After that, the Wizards made another move to acquire Tracy McGrady, including Crotty, who also left the team for the Wizards, and Laettner, who joined the Wizards in the middle of last season.

This lineup is really impressive. One set of starters can perform well throughout the season.

This includes the rising 76ers. As a veteran strong team in the Eastern Conference, the Celtics are under great pressure. Of course, it is not just the Celtics. The Lakers are also under pressure... After all, in the replacement of strong teams in the Western Conference, the Kings and the The Bulls rose much earlier than the Wizards.

Compared with the upstarts this season, the status of the two established hegemons of yellow and green has been impacted. Therefore, in addition to the extremely popular Wizards on the opening day, the Lakers and Celtics also received considerable attention.

…

October 30th.

On the first game day, the Lakers played the Trail Blazers.

Because of the absence of Sabonis, the pressure on Li Shengli and the Trail Blazers was still great. Li Shengli successfully scored 29 points, 18 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 5 blocks, his first big data of the new season. At the same time, Kobe Bryant did the same. It was 29 points, plus 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals and 1 shot.

You must know that the Lakers' team statistics are 98 points, 45 rebounds, 22 assists, 8 steals and 7 blocks, and the two of them combined to score 58 points, 25 rebounds, 9 assists, 4 steals and 5 blocks, except for the assists, which did not exceed half... This ratio is still amazing. of.

…

As for the Celtics.

The Lakers' dual-core team was already very aggressive, but the combination of O'Neal + Garnett + Pierce was even more wild that day, and almost stunned the Raptors, their first opponent. But the problem is that the Raptors' lineup is actually not bad... In addition to Carter, Olajuwon, who watched the Rockets fall into a deep pit, also came this season.

However, Olajuwon declined too much.

Opposite Olajuwon, who scored 8+8 in 32 minutes, was O'Neal, who scored 40+20 in 40 minutes. But besides that, I thought there were two double-doubles in Garnett and Pierce who couldn't stop them, and the Raptors were beaten in one game. Collapse and lost by 31 points.

…

In addition to Lake, Kay, and the Wizards who beat the Knicks.

Although it is not as big as the former, the problem is that the Wizards' lineup has completed a gorgeous transformation.

Tracy McGrady, a strong supporter of the Wizards, had 23 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists; after all, Jordan was old and had been away from the game for too long. He was in poor condition for 5 of 15 in this game.

However, it doesn't matter if Jordan is in bad shape, the Knicks are in even worse shape.

The updated Knicks are no longer the New York gangsters they once were. The former madman Sprewell has become the core of the team. But the problem is that Crotty suppresses him crazily as soon as he sees Sprewell. After all, this guy has been on the court. Lakers blacklist.

So Crotty and Jordan, who had defended the first team many times, including Dayao inside, tried their best to block Sprewell.

In the first half, Sprewell, who was 1 of 10, was guarded in a hurry. In the second half, Van Gundy probably said a few words and he immediately went crazy. After being pushed out twice by Yao, he rushed in for the third time. The inside layup kicked Yao, causing the entire arena to boo.

Then……

Then, Crotty went a little crazy. Sprewell didn't expect that he just turned his face and was caught and beaten by Crotty on the spot.

…

Oh shit?

Just start working without saying a word?

Is this the man who walked out next to Peak Lao Li?

Dayao was dumbfounded at this moment. He had never seen such a cruel person like Crotty. All his fists were thrown and all his kicks were directed towards his crotch. What was even more surprising was... Crotty didn't say anything, and several teammates also Without saying anything, he went up to start a fight, held up Sprewell and beat Crotty wildly. The whole set of actions was smooth and smooth.

The biggest problem is that the four Knicks are standing still and no one dares to move.

A teammate didn't react when he was beaten?

Dayao never expected... After the game was over and Sprewell was sent off, the four Knicks didn't care about their teammates. Instead, they immediately ran over and talked to themselves for a long time, although they couldn't listen yet. He understood what his opponent was saying, but he could still tell that the four faces were full of apologies. Perhaps they were implicitly expressing Sprewell's personal behavior and did not represent the will of the Knicks as a team.

This...is this here to apologize?

Oh my god, but...it was obviously your people who got beaten!

Before Dayao could express any emotion, the Wizards called a timeout.

Laettner and McGrady could only exchange a few words with Dayao through an interpreter, worrying about Dayao's mentality.

What also made Dayao feel sore was Jordan. What the translator relayed to him turned out to be... Tell him not to take action against Li Shengli's professional team. There is no need to kill people for small things.

What was even more surprising was that after the game, Yao looked at Knicks coach Van Gundy and fell into deep thought.

Although Van Gundy didn't care about the reporters' cameras and kept explaining that Sprewell had no intention of targeting Dayao, the problem was that Dayao was stunned and couldn't listen at all.

The truth is that Van Gundy is a really good guy.

He doesn't even need to lose face, but he actually wants Sprewell to finish the season healthy and avoid being retaliated against, but Dayao can't understand it at all...

What's wrong with this world?

One gets beaten and four apologize?

Even the opposing head coach had to go off the field to explain in person?

Looking at Crotty's fighting ability just now, coupled with Jordan's chat with his teammates, Dayao could probably guess... everyone is still afraid of Lao Li's professional team, who will rush out and retaliate brutally.

Damn it?

What has Lao Li done these years?

Why...how did you become the old emperor of the alliance?

Dayao was just heard about it before, but the rookie was really convinced after playing in the first game, and the most ridiculous thing is... just after playing on the first game day, this matter made the headlines of the sports page that day. A group of players whose names he couldn't even name stood up and denounced Sprewell, and even Kareem Abdul-Jabbar came out with a group of his old men to curse.

…

"Hey, Lao Li, is it okay to talk?"

Dayao called Li Shengli a little later after the game, but after the Lakers' front-foot play, Li Shengli didn't come out of the training ground, so he only knew about it roughly, but didn't know the details.

"What's wrong? Today is the first day of official competition. How do you feel?"

"Forget it, a guy from the Knicks kicked me when he was going to the layup, and then...then he was gone and was sent off the court by Brother Crotty."

"It's normal. Remember to say thank you to Crotty. Although he doesn't talk much, he is a very nice person. If he helps you, you should also help him if you can help him!"

"I understand this. Also... after the fight, the remaining Knicks people came to me to apologize."

"It's normal, they don't want to cause trouble!"

"The Knicks coach also came to me to explain for a while."

"This is normal. The players Van Gundy faces are still very good. The key is that the Knicks have become smaller and smaller in recent years, and he is also afraid of causing trouble."

Are... all normal?

But this horse-riding person is obviously very abnormal!

Dayao's face looked strange across the phone. He felt that Li Shengli said it too easily. Maybe he was used to it and felt that something was wrong. Li Shengli on the other end paused and said, "Okay, this kind of thing will happen again in the future." Yes, remember to handle it yourself, you can say whatever you want, but don’t suffer, remember the teammates who helped you today, the rest will be up to you, you have to play hard this season, and strive to be the best rookie."
