I really just want to be a role player

Chapter 291 The 08-09 season regular season opener!

The 08/09 league league team strength list was released, and Sports Illustrated and NESP together ranked the Celtics No.1.

The Big Three of the Green Army have been working together for a year, and they have found a favorite and comfortable position.

The biggest flaw is point guard Rondo, because there is no salary space in the transfer market, but there is a sycamore tree, so I am not afraid that I will not be able to seduce the Phoenix. If the Phoenix does not have one, there must be one or two young Phoenixes!
It really doesn't work, I have no money and no space, and I don't know how to talk about feelings, anyway, it doesn't hurt money.

Not to mention, it's done.

The contract that prompted the lone wolf Marbury to be sold out by the Knicks in advance, unlike Su Bei's previous life, he joined the Celtics halfway through the season.

Marbury holds a middle class of about 250 million. In the future 18/19 season, Cousins ​​refused a one-year contract of 2000 million and chose to join the Warriors with a contract of 500 million. The effect cannot be said to be similar, it can only be said to be exactly the same.

In other words, the whole world can announce that the suspense of the championship is over, and even award the Warriors directly.

Although Marbury has fallen a little bit in the past few years, he played the worst performance of his career in the 07/08 season, averaging only 14 points and 4.7 assists per game.

However, Marbury, born in 1977, was only 31 years old. At his peak, he was a star who could score 23 points and 9 assists. He was the 96th overall pick in the 4 Golden Generation. He averaged 19 points and 7.5 assists per game in his career. He joined the Celtics , No matter how you look at it, it is one of the four giants who are rounded up.

Cassell's retirement, the departure of Posey and PJ Brown, and the addition of Marbury seem to be irrelevant.

The state of the warm-up match was mediocre, but they still scored 6 wins and 1 loss. They deserved to be number one in the league.

No.2 is not the Lakers, but the Rockets.

Don't ask, the question is the joining of Artest, which made the Rockets round up and formed the four giants of Yao Ming, Tracy McGrady, Battier and Artest.

In addition, head coach Adelman had an amazing performance of 22 consecutive victories in the first season. Now that the Princeton system has been running in for a year, as long as there are no major injuries, the Rockets' four giant lineups are still very champions. posture.

The warm-up match also performed well, with a record of 5 wins and 2 losses, and there is nothing wrong with ranking No.2.

The Lakers ranked No.3, the face of the defending champions, coupled with the comeback of Bynum and Ariza, even though Turiaf is gone, in fact, it is fair to say that the Lakers ranked first in the league is the most correct prediction.

However, the performance of the warm-up match, the Lakers' record of 3 wins and 4 losses is the top minus point, it can only be said to be inferior.

No.4 is for the Bobcats. Last season, Paul's team touched the floor of the Eastern Conference Finals. This season, the champion coach Larry Brown was brought in. The biggest shortcoming was strengthened. West, being optimistic is also inevitable.

No.5 is the Cavaliers, James is too incomprehensible, and he got the best partner Mobubi Mo Williams, no matter how you look at it, fame is stronger than strength... No, it is both strong, both must be .

The alliance is looking forward to the two major facades of the present and the future, joining forces in the peak duel in the finals.

The 6th-10th places are the Mavericks, Magic, Spurs, Pistons and Suns.

At the same time, the regular season performance of the new season is also officially released.

The opening game of the regular season of the 08/09 season started on October 10.

The three-group duel is naturally indispensable to the invincible popularity and unparalleled strength of the Lakers.

The opponent is the young and invincible, talented Trail Blazers.

One represents the present, and the other represents the future. The alliance is still very thoughtful about such a match.

At the end of October, after the opening game, the Lakers will play back-to-back games on the 10th, and the season is tight.

Fortunately, they are all playing at home, and the opponent in the second game is the Clippers from the same city, so the schedule is relatively easy.

The November schedule is the devil.

However, since the defending champion Lakers are themselves the devil, the one being challenged, it really doesn't matter how the schedule is arranged, after all, the strength lies there.

If you don't believe me, look at the 08/09 season of the Lakers, the 15-man roster, rounded up, is also a team with the championship posture of the Big Four.

Point guards: Derek Fisher, Jordan Farmar, Sun Yue.

Shooting guard: Kobe Bryant, Sasha Vujacic.

Small forwards: Su Bei, Ariza, Luke Walton.

Power Forward: Gasol, Odom, Vladimir Radmanovic, Josh Powell.

Center: Bynum, DJ Mbenga, Chris Mim.

Before the match, Su Bei got the list of players who could match up, but Su Bei just glanced at it and put it down.

In the past, Su Bei studied the opponent, but now it is very likely that he will be studied by the opponent.

As the biggest imaginary enemy in the league's championship competition, this kind of awareness is still necessary.

"My opponent should be Rudy Gay.

Because of the butterfly effect, Paul went to the Bobcats, and Roy also went to the Bobcats in 06.

The Trail Blazers had no choice but to draft Rudy Gay.

Roy and Guy are both Yi brothers, and their strength should not be underestimated..."

The fact that the Trail Blazers were able to catch opponents so accurately was mainly due to injuries. In the 05 draft, the Trail Blazers used the 6th overall pick to select high school swingman Martell Ruoxi. …No, it was Martell Webster who suffered a serious injury at the end of the 07/08 season and was directly reimbursed for the season this season.

That's one of the reasons why the Blazers picked Nicklas Batum.

Speaking of Batum, my opponent is also very likely to be this person.

"A third-year rookie, a first-year rookie, and I'm still studying a ghost.

Don't blame me for being too frank, but the ones here are not rubbish, and I should be able to clean them up..."

You said Rudy Gay averaged 20 points and 6 rebounds per game last season?
Oh well, then I won't be sleepy.

That's really worth looking into.

His name is also Ji Ge. His physical talent has the appearance of a superstar, and he has the possibility of becoming Kobe and Tracy McGrady. However, he has a lazy personality and sometimes seems a bit unmotivated on the court. How should I say it?

Some mouths have turned into brothers, playing health basketball?

It's more like Iguodala, who occasionally pretends to be dead, and is very tough at critical moments, but there are not many opportunities to perform in big scenes.

After reading Ji Ge's information, Su Bei has a solid understanding of this talented player.

……

On October 10, Luosha Yang.

Night falls.

At this time, the opening game of the 08/09 season is being held in the Staples Center Arena, with a huge crowd and bright lights.

Inside the arena, there are so many stars, it is indeed a team with Hollywood elements, and the fans who watch the game are getting more and more famous.

When warming up, there was no talk of a few cents a day.

A championship diamond ring costs $10,000+. Let’s talk about a few cents, do you deserve it?

To be fair, the Blazers really don't deserve it.

Since the 04/05 season, the Trail Blazers have been doing poorly. Although they are full of talents, there are really no players who can show their hands and talk to them.

Even if there is no butterfly effect and Roy is still in the formation, there is nothing to talk about.

Now that there is a more important championship ring awarding ceremony, naturally even greetings are omitted.

Lakers owner Buss and general manager Mitch are presenting championship rings to the Lakers players who have lined up.

Kobe got his fourth.

Coach Jackson hangs even more, and the 10 fingers of both hands are finally, finally full.

Su Bei got three. There was nothing he could do. He had only been in the alliance for three years, so it would be hell if he got more.

In contrast, except for the old fish who took four, the others only got the first one in their careers.

When it was shown to the audience, waves of tsunami-like applause and cheers responded, showing warmth and emotion.

On the other side of the player channel, the Trail Blazers who were watching the ceremony were also applauding, with envy and hatred on their faces and eyes, without any concealment.

Of course, the flames of war also ignited from the chest.

The truth is the same in ancient and modern China and abroad: seeing him build a tall building, seeing him entertaining guests, seeing his building collapse!
At this time, on the big screen in the arena, the starting lineups of the two sides for tonight's match were also displayed.

The Trail Blazers started five Tigers, Oden, Aldridge, Gay, Rudy Fernandez, Steve Blake.

The Lakers starting five, Bynum, Gasol, Subei, Kobe, Fisher.

The game was broadcast live across the United States by TNT radio station. Barkley and Kenny Smith partnered to commentate. In addition, the famous Lakers Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was invited as a guest to form the commentary of the Three Musketeers.

"The Blazers are full of talent, great promise and potential.

上赛季07状元奥登大帝还没适合NBA，凭借06年的榜眼阿尔德里奇和06年的5顺位秀盖伊一内一外的准全明星级别的表现，这支青年军开拓者队能够打出41胜41负五五开的战绩。

Although the competition for tickets to the Western Conference playoffs last season was very introverted, it would be embarrassing to be in the top eight if you didn't win 50 wins.

However, if this Trail Blazers team is placed in the Eastern Theater, it is likely to be a top four team.

As long as Oden plays at the level of the No. [-] pick and does not suffer from injuries, the Trail Blazers have the potential to compete for the championship. The Big Three composed of Oden, Aldridge and Gay will determine the success or failure of the Trail Blazers this season. "

"Indeed, Oden's talent is something to look forward to.

Aside from Oden, the Trail Blazers' draft vision is also very poisonous, and almost all rookies have been played.

What is lacking now is only growth and experience. In addition, apart from the big three deciding success or failure, the backcourt is a hidden danger. Whether it is Blake or Fernandez, talent is far from enough.

If the Trail Blazers can solve the hidden dangers and sign one or two All-Star backcourts from the free market, it will be no problem to compete with a championship-level team like the Lakers. "

"The Lakers have nothing to say now. They were so unlucky last season, and they were able to defeat the Celtics' Big Three lineup to win the championship despite successive injuries.

Winning or losing this game is very likely, it just depends on how much they attach importance to the game.

In terms of the winning percentage of both sides, I think it is [-]% to [-]%, the Lakers are [-]% and the Blazers are only [-]%..."

The game started.

beep-!
The referee threw the basketball high, and Bynum defeated Oden to get the first attack for the Lakers.

"Fischer got the ball up the court and immediately passed it to Kobe.

The Lakers' triangle offensive tactic is running, Gasol and Bynum moving transposition.

Gasol came to the right side, Kobe scored the ball to Su Bei, and while Fisher cut into the basket, Subei passed the basketball to Gasol.

The Lakers' triangle offense was very smooth. Fisher cut inside, and with a screen, failed to get rid of Blake, and pulled to the right three-point corner.

Changed to Subei to make an inside cut, Gasol passed the ball to Subei... No, he feinted a shot, Gasol turned around and made a close-range two-point jump shot by raising his hand..."

Oden was played by Gasol, feeling his hands and feet were tied, his head was still dizzy, and he could only instinctively stretch out his hand to interfere with the shot.

Bang-dang-!
"Gasol's hand was a little raw, and the shot from close range was sent.

Fortunately, Su Bei took off the rebound. Although his inside cut failed to catch the basketball, it came to the basket.

Gay caught the ball close to him, and Su Bei feinted and passed the basketball to Fisher who rushed in to hit the back door of the Blazers. Under the interference of Oden's block, Fisher's short-range shot missed.

It was Su Bei who grabbed the rebound again, immediately passed the ball to Gasol, chose to go up to the man, took Oden's block hard, and threw the basketball to the basket..."

beep-!
Swish-!
At the same time as the whistle sounded, the basketball also hit the net. Gasol scored 2+1 on Oden! !
"Subei's explosive power and jumping ability are not bad. He grabbed offensive rebounds in front of Gay twice, and he was able to pass the basketball well in a crowded inside lane. He had an amazing start.

Of course, the Lakers' mobile offense and triangle offensive tactics at the basket are also very clever. Coach Jackson's tactics are very effective in protecting rebounds.

In other words, Oden's offense and suitability for the NBA seem to have not been effectively resolved.

What do you think of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as a center forward? "

"Do you think this is possible? Oden's talent is too strong and his reaction is too sensitive, so he committed a foul.

In my opinion, there is still a lack of excellent center coaches to guide the game. Although Oden suffered a foul, his defensive skills are fully reflected in this start.

The Lakers hit the basket three times in a row before scoring the basketball. This is not a problem with Oden, but a problem with the defensive tactics of the Trail Blazers team.

If all the defensive problems are left to Oden to solve, then I don't say anything. "

"Indeed, the Trail Blazers are trying to save trouble. Among the starting five, only Oden is reliable defensively.

Of course, the reason why the Trail Blazers picked Oden with the No. [-] pick is to let Oden support the Blazers' defensive system.

However, directly pushing the problem of defending the basket to Oden, a rookie, will not reduce the number of fouls per game.

I remember that last season, Oden averaged 4 fouls per game. Last season, Oden averaged 21 minutes per game. How many minutes do you think Oden can play in this game? "

"When you talk about guessing and betting, I'm not sleepy anymore.

I guess it is 25 minutes. As the No. 21 pick, the improvement from 25 minutes to 4 minutes is only a [-]-minute improvement, so there should be no problem. "

"Indeed, I'm also guessing this number, 25 minutes, no less."

"..."

Swish-!
Standing on the free throw line, Gasol has no soft hands, and his soft shooting touch allows him to have a precise mid-range shot. The problem of scoring free throws is really hard for him.

0 to 3! !
In the Blazers' offensive round, Blair took the ball to the frontcourt and immediately lobbed it to Aldridge.

"Catch the ball, put on a three-threat stance, pull it up and shoot a fallback jumper in front of Gasol..."

Swish-!
Aldridge's mid-range shot returned the favor.

There is nothing to say, just unreasonable jumpers, misplaced jumpers with physical talent.

Gasol does not suffer from his height, and he has no choice but to face this kind of betting that his shooting pistol has bullets.

You can't drag your 2-meter body to defend against the empty shot, can you?
Off the court, Jackson's face was calm, and he had no problem with Gasol's defense.

The essence of the Lakers' defense is to shrink into the interior, and use their height, arm length and mobility to force opponents to shoot away from the basket.

It's not a problem for Aldridge to hit two points from the mid-range, it's nothing more than letting the bullet fly for a while.

"On the court, the Lakers still play team tactics in their offensive rounds, and they aim at the inside line of the Trail Blazers.

This is clearly the two rookie insiders who bully the Trail Blazers.

Subei received the ball, and while Fisher was inside, he passed the ball to Gasol.

It was another feint, this time, Oden had already predicted it and didn't let Gasol play it.

Subei continued to play the music, and then cut inside. Gasol covered Subei and blocked Gay. This time there was no wave, and he passed the ball hand-to-hand.

After catching the ball, Su Bei faced Oden in a dislocation, and did not retreat, but chose to dribble the ball to meet the man, and Oden fought and retreated..."

Swish-!
Su Bei was not used to him, so he attacked from close range, scored the basketball, and opened his personal scoring account.

2 to 5! !
"Oden hesitated defensively and sent a foul within one minute of the start.

This time, Su Bei clearly brought Pengci here, if another foul is sent, it is very likely that he will have to rest after 2 points in the opening game..."

Not possible, but sure.

The problem of Oden's love for fouls is not resolved, and the Lakers are targeting the Trail Blazers' unreliable inside problems.

Oden will always be injured. Who made his defensive strength stronger than his offensive strength?

And Aldridge's offensive strength is stronger than his defensive strength, so he can play like his idol Garnett.

Two people team up on the inside line, if you don't stand guard, who will stand guard?

Oden can only go to the basket as a blue-collar, do the dirty work, fight against people, but defend.

With an inside partner who is destined to be Chufeng on defense, what else do you want him?

The water defending the basket is too deep, he can't grasp it by himself, so he can only take a look first.

Bang-dang-!
Blake's passing organization is too taken for granted. Aldridge can score the first goal, maybe the second goal is no problem?

As a result, Aldridge was not strong, and his second mid-range shot was sent.

"The Trail Blazers are too dependent on individual stars.

There is no reliable offensive system, whether it is offense or defense, you need talent to solve all problems.

The coaching skills of the head coach of the Trail Blazers are still missing something.

The rebound was taken off by Kobe rushing to the basket, and he dribbled the ball and pushed back.

After passing Fernandez, he continued to break through to the basket. After attracting the defense, he threw the basketball to the sky. Gasol rushed up, with long legs, kept up with Kobe's offensive speed, and jumped up from the basket... ..."

Bang-dang-!
Alley oops, two-handed dunks, Gasol's entire body is hung above the basket.

2 to 7! !
Ke Sao connected and scored a two-point counterattack.

At the beginning, both sides fought hard inside, and Su Bei had no choice but to play soy sauce.

"In just a few minutes at the beginning, we can see the gap between reality and the future, not by a hundred million points.

The Lakers have talent and a triangle offensive tactical system. If the Trail Blazers only have talent, it is far from enough to attack such a Lakers team.

Unless, when the Lakers have no talent, only the tactical system remains.

But, how many years will it take, three years, or another three years?
The only advantage of the Trail Blazers is that they have a young capital. When the talent of the Lakers naturally ages, they can win without a fight, or win without a win?

Just, how many three years are there in life?
The Trail Blazers are still too immature, and they have to work hard to improve their internal skills. "
