"Tianchao TV, Tianchao TV, this is the regular season of NBA 03-04 season. Today, the two teams are the New York Knicks, which has the Chinese giant Yao Ming, and the Orlando Magic, which has the league's top superstar Tracy McGrady. I am the host Sun Zhengping, and now I will be with coach Zhang Weiping to bring you today's commentary!"

Sun Zhengping looked at the screen with anticipation. As Yao Ming's opening game in the NBA, Chinese fans must be paying special attention.

As one of the commentators of Chinese basketball, he must also hope that Yao Ming will perform well.

"Coach Zhang, this game is Yao Ming's first game in the NBA. I wonder if you have any expectations?"

"Well, I definitely have expectations, and I still hope Yao Ming can perform well. But I feel that it will be difficult for Yao Ming to perform well in this game. Why? Yao Ming’s performance in the Summer League was too explosive, and he is an international player. The xenophobia of American local players will definitely be reflected in this game."

"So, I think it will not be easy for Yao Ming to perform well today!"

As a former national player of the Chinese men's basketball team, Zhang showed his most professional side as soon as he came up.

He did not blindly praise Yao Ming's possible performance, but timely stated the situation he was facing in this game, which was also indirectly a preventive measure for the result of this game.

After all, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Once Yao Ming does not perform well, the pressure of the fishing reel may ruin a talented young man.

Afterwards, Zhang focused on McGrady's personal ability and further improved the current combat effectiveness of the Magic team.

It can be seen that although he is also looking forward to this game, he is still a little pessimistic about the Knicks' performance in this game, and does not think that Yao Ming can still play like the performance in the summer league.

Sun Zhengping nodded, and he knew what Zhang meant.

After a brief chat, the highly anticipated first game of Yao Ming's career finally kicked off.

No need to say more!

After a short warm-up, the starting lineups of both sides have stood up. On the court.

The Knicks adopted the starting lineup that was originally determined.

Chris Paul + Alan Houston + Keith Van Horn + Dikembe Mutombo + Dayao!

As for the Magic, there was not much change from last season's lineup, which was very close to what people expected.

Tyronn Lue + Tracy McGrady + Britton Johnson + Juwan Howard + Drew Gooden!

From the lineup point of view, the Magic does not have a traditional center in the true sense.

But from the average height point of view, the two sides are evenly matched.

The Knicks' inside line is more advantageous, but the Magic's outside line makes up for the lack of height in the inside line.

Dayao and Drew Gooden walked to the jump ball area, the referee threw the ball high, and Dayao won the first offensive ball for the Knicks!

Chris Paul advanced with the ball and dribbled slowly across half court.

Dayao and Mutombo were on the left and right of the three-second zone, and the Knicks were ready to attack from the inside!

Paul decisively passed the ball to Dayao like in the training game

"whoosh!"

"Bang!"

It happened in a split second. At the moment when Yao Ming was about to touch the ball, McGrady rushed out from the wing and stole the pass from Paul at an extreme distance!

""Ouch!"

There was a burst of exclamations at the scene, all of whom were impressed by McGrady's physical talent and judgment.

It was obvious that the Magic team was well prepared today!

McGrady, who completed the steal, immediately passed the ball to Tyronn Lue.

The latter whipped his horse and directly led the fast break counterattack.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Chris Paul decisively changed direction and chased!

The two arrived at the front court almost at the same time, Tyronn Lue made a layup, and Paul jumped up from behind!

"Snapped!"

""Swish!"

Tyronn Lue's sudden slow motion made Paul suffer from the loss of experience. He was supposed to hit the basketball, but ended up hitting Tyronn Lue's hand.

After being fouled, Tyronn Lue still sent the ball into the basket very steadily.

"Beep!"

The referee's whistle followed, a beautiful 2+1!

"Oh my God, the Magic team showed a different mental outlook from the beginning. They achieved results on both offense and defense. It seems that the Magic are determined to win this game today!"

"That's right, Chris Paul seems to have not yet adapted to this kind of game rhythm. Even Yao Ming, who performed well in the summer league, was targeted by the Magic right from the start. It seems that the two of them today are afraid to pay the first tuition fee in their NBA career!"

The two commentators on the sidelines analyzed this ball at the right time, but there was no surprise in their words.

It seemed that everything that happened now was as it should be.

At this time, the camera did not hesitate to focus on Yao Ming's father. The old man's face was full of worry.

Obviously, he was not sure about how Yao Ming would perform in this game.

And judging from the current performance, Yao Ming is likely to pay the first tuition fee in his league career.
