NBA: Becoming stronger starts with hard work and mastery

The man who ruined their fifth ring night is back! This time, facing the Bulls without Jordan, Pippen, Rodman, and even Luke Longley, will Han Yi be soft-hearted? The answer is: When they just received the ring, the Bulls players smiled so brightly, and after the game started, the Bulls players cried so miserably! Michael Jordan, as a spectator, sat in the most conspicuous position in the stands and watched the Bulls being slaughtered crazily by the Celtics led by Han Yi expressionlessly! 110:52! Han Yi slaughtered the Chicago Bulls by 58 points in front of Michael Jordan on his night of becoming a god! Created the biggest loss in the regular season in the history of the Bulls!

Although this year's Bulls is a truly bad team, and most of the main players of the Chicago Bulls that eliminated the Celtics last season are no longer here.

What's left here is just a team called the Chicago Bulls, which is actually just a tomb for the Bulls in the Jordan era, but Han Yi still wants to say to the media:

"Nothing is more satisfying than welcoming the new season with a 58-point victory!"

"What? You said they don't have Michael Jordan anymore? Ha, you don't need to remind me, the Bulls really don't have Jordan now, Jordan can only sit in the audience and frown and curse a few words, but is this our fault? Did we not let him play?"

"I just want to say to Macco, your career has been perfect, please, don't come back again, otherwise you will really be beaten by me!"

Jordan naturally cursed again, but this time Han Yi was not afraid. Jordan would definitely not come back to retaliate this season. If he is angry, he will definitely not come back to retaliate. If he is willing to curse, then curse!

Aren't these retired NBA stars willing to do this kind of thing of favoring the past over the present? Ignoring him is the biggest punishment for them.

Although the first game between the Bulls and the Celtics was one-sided from the beginning, the Bulls could be said to have been beaten without any chance to fight back, and the combat power of both sides was completely unequal, so naturally there was nothing to analyze.

But Steve A. Smith, who has been observing Han Yi, as a newly emerging reporter and expert, still saw some differences in Han Yi.

"Han Yi's playing style this season has changed significantly compared to last season. Although Han Yi is still nominally the center of the Celtics, I'm afraid that his center characteristics are only in the jump ball stage!"

"Han Yi now starts from a high position every time he holds the ball. Rather than being a center, it is better to say that he is more like a small forward with superb ball-handling skills and outstanding control and passing abilities!"

"Han Yi's development direction may not be to become a top inside offensive giant like Shaquille O'Neal and Hakeem Olajuwon, but to become a 7-foot-tall Michael Jordan!"

For the Celtics, although back-to-back games are more frequent in this shortened season than in previous years, in front of the Celtics' unlimited youth, back-to-back games and three games in four days can be easily handled.

Compared with the Celtics, those old teams that have accumulated too many veterans are not so easy.

After the first ten games, when the Boston Celtics topped the league with 9 wins and 1 loss, Han Yi easily won the Eastern Conference Player of the Week for the first two weeks.

The Indiana Pacers, who fought a seven-game Eastern Conference Finals with the Chicago Bulls last season, built around 34-year-old Reggie Miller, 36-year-old Chris Mullin, and 34-year-old Mark Jackson, had a bleak start of only 5 wins and 5 losses.

If only the average age of the eight main rotation players is counted, the Indiana Pacers have reached a terrifying 32.1 years old. At this age, in the context of the 1990s, the entire team could retire collectively, which would not be considered early retirement.

"We are just a little rusty!" Reggie Miller told the media:

"Yes, but my knee feels better than last season. Although this is a shortened season, it is only the first month of the regular season. In previous years, we said that the championship will not be awarded in November. This year is also the case. We will get better."

The Indiana Pacers seemed to confirm their big brother's words. They worked hard on the Western Expedition and won three consecutive games. They even defeated the Los Angeles Lakers, who were temporarily ranked first in the West. Then, when they returned home, they found that their next opponent was actually

Boston Celtics!

The Celtics are nothing special, they just won seven games in a row!

"Han Yi, do you feel pressured to face the Pacers, a team that was in the Eastern Conference Finals last season?"

"You know, after the Bulls broke up, the Pacers were the strongest Eastern Conference team last year. Last year, the Pacers swept you 3:0 in the Eastern Conference in the regular season. You have lost six games in a row to the Pacers in the regular season. Do you think you will win tonight?"

"There is obviously something wrong with your conversion formula," Han Yi pointed out bluntly:

"We lost to the Bulls last year, but the Pacers also lost to the Bulls. , what is his basis for being called the strongest? Regular season? Which team that aims to win the championship cares about this kind of thing? "

"Remember, the NBA only has the championship award, there is no runner-up, let alone the runner-up in the Eastern Conference Finals. Tonight you ask me if I can win? I can only say that we Chinese like the number 8 very much."

Starting lineups of both teams:

Boston Celtics:

PG: Joe Dumars, SG: Dell Curry, SF: Tracy McGrady, PF: Han Yi, C: Ben Wallace!

Indiana Pacers:

PG: Mark Jackson, SG: Reggie Miller, SF: Chris Mullin, PF: Dale Davis, C: Rick Schmitz!

Compared with last season, the biggest change in the Celtics' starting lineup is the change from two supporting players to 36-year-old Joe Dumars and 35-year-old Dell Curry.

Although these two veterans who joined the NBA in 1985 are no longer as brave as they were in the past, it is an underestimation to describe their control of the game as perfect!

Now if you ask Joe Dumars to use his ability to defend Jordan in his prime, he will definitely not be able to do it.

But don't be too comfortable when you ask him to organize the team!

Although Joe Dumars's average assists per game is only about 5 times, it seems that he is about the same as Dana Barros, the main point guard of the Celtics last season, but in fact, the value of assists is very different!
