The Basketball Court Swordsman

The NBA opening game of the 16-17 season officially ended. The three games scheduled on the first day undoubtedly satisfied the appetite of the fans, and they were surprised.

The San Antonio Spurs defeated the Golden State Warriors by 126 to 100, which undoubtedly surprised people.

It is generally believed that the Warriors who sit on Curry, Thompson and Durant at the same time will be invulnerable this season. They may even break the record of 73 wins in the regular season. But people did not expect that the Warriors would be bloodbathed by the Spurs as soon as they came up.

In this game, Leonard and Aldridge teamed up to score 61 points. Curry and Durant added up to only 53 points. The Spurs and the wise Popovich have undoubtedly told the world that the "cosmic warrior" can also be defeated.

In another game, the Cleveland Cavaliers abused the New York Knicks completely. The Knicks, which sits on Noah, Rose, Anthony and Porzingis, did not perform as expected.

None of the four people scored 20 points, and Anthony, who scored the highest, had only 19 points. Noah even took only two shots in the game, without a point, and swallowed the whole game.

On the other hand, the Cavaliers, James, Irving and Love all scored 20, their system and cooperation are undoubtedly more mature.

James personally scored a large triple-double of 20 points, 14 assists and 12 rebounds. This guy won the Knicks while he was playing while training. The so-called name of the upstart in the East, the Knicks seem to be somewhat unqualified. It seems that the dominance of the Cavaliers in the east remains firm.

Of course, regardless of the outcome of these two games, reporters have a lot to dig. However, the opener of the Pacers VS Bulls embarrassed the reporters.

The Pacers, who were considered to be unable to win, easily killed the Bulls at home, and Antetokounmpo’s performance was even more impressive. But for the victory of this game, the reporters have nothing to write about except the process of the game.

Because in the interview after the game, they didn't ask anything from Henson at all.

The reporters themselves were embarrassed to write what Henson said to them. Therefore, the reporters couldn't write anything about the originally most topical game. If they can't write something, their superior editor will lose their temper again.

Isn't this group of reporters embarrassed to be angry with Henson in the arena, and angry with the boss when going back?

However, it is precisely because of this lack of information that fans are more curious about the Pacers. Thus, in just one game, Henson gave the Pacers unparalleled appeal.

and so. The second game of the regular season this season, 24 hours before the start of the Mavericks away challenge to the Pacers, all tickets for this game have been sold out.

Compared with the Chicago Bulls, who are aiming to compete with the Cavaliers, the Mavericks this season are obviously much less interesting. Although they have just signed former Warriors player Harrison Barnes as the new core, everyone believes that the Mavericks this season will not be too competitive.

Therefore, the Mavericks VS Pacers game will not be too intense in the fans' expectations.

But even so, the ticket for this game is still hard to find. Everyone just wants to watch the Pacers, they don't care who their opponents are. This shows how great the charm of the Pacers is now.

The process and results of this game did not disappoint the Pacers fans.

Although Deron Williams scored 25 points and 7 assists like a comeback, it was quite a bit of the momentum of "playing Paul while eating and sleeping". Although Dirk also scored 22 points, he is still one of the best four in the league.

But the two veterans joined forces too late. If placed five or six years ago, no one would dare to imagine what Dirk + Deron would achieve. But now, they no longer possess such a powerful lethality.

In this game, Antetokounmpo continued to run wild, scoring 30 points and 16 rebounds! On Dirk's head, Antetokounmpo went crazy. After all, the current Dirk is almost negligible in terms of movement and bounce.

Paul George also showed a little bit of strength today, with 25 points, 6 assists and 8 rebounds all-around data, reminding everyone that he is also one of the Pacers' top cards.

Chris Paul's performance is also commendable. With 20 points, 7 assists, 7 rebounds and 3 steals, his duel with Deron is classic every time.

In addition to them, Brook Lopez's 19 points and Oladipo's 11 points undoubtedly made the Mavericks worse.

After the game, champion coach Rick Carlisle said frankly: “The Pacers have too many attack points. When we defend one, the other will immediately stand up and continue the firepower. I think the Indiana Pacers, It is the most underrated team this season."

130 to 119. Even in the small ball era, the Pacers scored a terrifyingly high score in this game. If Henson only showed the scoring ability of Antetokounmpo in the last game, then Henson undoubtedly showed the overall scoring ability of the Pacers team.

Score 130 points in 48 minutes. With such offensive firepower, he should be able to challenge the Warriors.

After the game, Henson finally answered reporters' questions. Because I can clearly feel it, the reporters' tone and attitude towards Henson have improved a lot today.

It seems that they finally learned how to respect people. Coach Henson’s "education" really had an immediate effect.

Just like Bird back then, after today's game, Henson ran into Silas, who had just returned from probing the rookie. And six years ago, it was Bird who met himself who came back after exploring the rookie.

Henson originally wanted to hear Silas finish the scout report before leaving, but when he thought that it was too early to go home and see his daughter and wife, Henson decided to let Silas do the details the next day. Scouting report.

So now, Silas only needs to give Henson a brief introduction to the harvest of this trip, and it's almost finished.

"I won't talk about the well-known geniuses. Anyway, we won't be able to choose next season. After all, we are definitely going to the playoffs. So, I picked a few names that we might find."

"Go ahead, Stephen."

"First of all, it's Donovan Mitchell from the University of Louisville. He is a sophomore guard with a strong physique. He has good scoring ability and is very hard defensive. He plays like Oladipo, but he scores. The ability is even stronger."

"Kentucky center Bam Adebayor should not be underestimated. His physical fitness and wingspan are among the top rookies in the same class. It is perfect for being a senior blue-collar."

"Oh, yes, and this year our Indiana University British player og. Anunobi. He is a super sportsman who can run and jump. He has excellent rebounding ability and extremely tough defense. It's just because the positioning is not clear. There are some'no three, no four', so the prediction is not high. You know, since Anthony Bennett, every team in the NBA doesn't like the'no three, no four' players. But with Adeba The difference is that he can shoot and even shoot three-pointers. If it is you, I believe he should be able to find a suitable position for him."

"There's more..."

Henson listened to Stephen Silas' report silently, while taking notes of the notable names. Henson knows how important the draft is to a team, so even if the Pacers are not a bad team, he is very concerned about the draft.

Silas almost told Henson seven or eight names, this time the simple scout report finally ended. Tomorrow, Silas and Henson have to discuss these young people in detail.

"Thank you for your hard work, Stephen. You have worked so hard. Let's go home and rest tonight. We will discuss the rookie in the training gap tomorrow." Henson nodded and praised Silas. work.

"I changed it, Henson. It's like victory is what you should do. Then, I'll go first. You drive carefully on the road."

After saying goodbye to Henson, Silas turned and left. But after taking two steps, he turned around again and stopped Henson, "Henson, in this round of rookie exploration, I found one thing...I don’t know if It's worth noting."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Henson also stopped and asked curiously.

"When I was at the University of Utah, I found the Lakers scouts. Moreover, this is the second year in a row that I found them gathered there. I think there may be something they care about at the University of Utah, but they don’t want others to find out. player of."

"Lakers scout?" Henson stroked his chin. "Interesting!"

As we all know, since Kobe Bryant ruptured his Achilles tendon, the Lakers began to rebuild. In order to be able to rebuild quickly, the Lakers have high requirements for rookies.

The facts have proved that Clarkson, Randall and other rookies who are not particularly high-ranked, all performed very well. If it is a mediocre ordinary player, he will definitely not be able to enter the Lakers' eyes. So they gathered at the University of Utah for two consecutive years, certainly not for no reason.

There must be a young man with outstanding ability but not everyone knows, who has attracted the attention of the Lakers!

"Who are they paying attention to?" Henson asked with interest. He likes robbery the most! If there is really "meat", Henson doesn't want to watch the Lakers eat alone.

"According to my investigation, what makes them care so much, seems to be a fourth player named Kyle Kuzma. He is a junior this year and is an older rookie. I don't know much about other information. ."

"Kyle Kuzma? The name is pretty easy. If I have time, I will fly with you to Salt Lake City in person to see what the Lakers are up to. Your information is intercepted very beautifully. Russ."

Henson smiled slightly, Robin Hood, who specializes in robbing the rich and powerful, was about to make another move.
