NBA: Sharks at the peak, guard the basket!

Chapter 316 The Eastern Throne Changes Owner?Werewolf Shark Swallows Joe Mai for the first time! !

Back to the Great Western Forum Arena.

The fans at the scene were also a mess, and the amount of information was too much in just such a short period of time! !
Recap what happened.

Rodman and Pippen's real-life fight just started, and Pippen's straight punch was halfway through, and it suddenly became soft like a ball of cotton.

After Rodman easily got out of the way, he hit Pippen with a swinging punch.

And then, Pippen, who was still clamoring just now, wailed and fell to the ground exaggeratedly?
And was pushed out by the wheelchair?

It's outrageous!
Are you sure it's not Porcelain? !
"Dennis knocked Scottie Pippen down with one punch! The power of his punch is too exaggerated!"

Albert on the sidelines reacted quickly: "According to the latest news from the locker room, Scottie will not return for this game!"

"Wow, maybe we should discuss how powerful a professional player's punches are!"

John Kyle took over with a smile: "Scottie Pippen is definitely a tough guy, but he still couldn't handle Dennis Rodman's ready punch!"

If it were an ordinary person who received Rodman's punch, he would die on the spot!
of course.

One punch smashed Pippen's big bug, got his second technical foul, and was expelled gorgeously.

Before leaving the court, Rodman was still in a daze.

Is this over?

He didn't make any effort!

As a result, Pippen fell down!
This hypocrite is obviously playing tricks on him!
It's just that Rodman was in a good mood when he heard the calls of the fans in the audience.

He took off his jersey, threw it on the technical stage, and waved to the fans to thank him. Like a triumphant general, with his head held high, he walked into the player tunnel with a pace that no relatives recognized.

Of course, the fans didn't know that Pippen was punched out by Rodman.

In their view, this time it was Rodman who was born with supernatural power, and he crippled Pippen with one punch and sat in a wheelchair!

Maybe there was only the caddy wiping the floor besides the team doctor at the scene. Through the pool of yellow liquid, we can deduce the general process of the incident.

Of course, this episode did not change the trend of the game.

After Lin Hong fully demonstrated the three enhanced abilities of the teacher + big shark Antetokounmpo + dream footsteps, after the Lakers played a wave to open the score, the situation has become irreversible.

Big Bird Bird failed to think of a way to break the game in a short time.

In addition, this is only the first opening game of the new season, so there is no need to waste too much time and energy for a game that is almost final.

The classic don't care about the momentary gains and losses, focus on the future.

Everything has just begun.

In the end, this much-anticipated yellow-green battle came to an end, and it was still the Los Angeles Lakers who won.

"In the first game of the new season, the defending champion beat the old rival Celtic and won a good start at home.

The four-star Celtics led by Scottie Pippen swallowed their first defeat of the season! "

"However, I don't think this opening game has much reference value."

"The Celtics are still working on their new roster, and Scottie Pippen sat on the sidelines for most of their game."

"Also, the Los Angeles Lakers opened the third quarter with a new lineup that had never been seen before."

"This new lineup is the key for the Lakers to widen the point difference in this game.

But in the same way, is this lineup a surprise win, a flash in the pan, or can it be used stably as a regular rotation? "

"It's still a big problem."

As analyzed by the narrator Albert.

This game seemed like the Lakers crushed the Celtics one-sidedly, but in fact it was too accidental.

Judging from the first quarter of the game, the healthy Celtics did not lose to the Lakers' starting lineup last season.

But starting from the second quarter, the Los Angeles Lakers finally took advantage of this lineup.

Their two new aids-the mediocre duo, seamlessly connected, plug and play, showing their respective abilities.

Immediately afterwards, Rodman and Pippen exchanged their limits one by one, leaving the Green Army without Pippen, an important offensive engine.

In the third quarter, the one-star four-shot system offered by the Lakers, in the eyes of the two commentators, was more like a slanted sword.

After all, in the 90s when three-pointers were not taken seriously
A system that completely uses three-point shooting to kill opponents is a bit outrageous.

Furthermore, the shooting percentage of three-pointers is indeed not as high as that of two-pointers.

Who can guarantee that Fox, Fisher, Horry and old Curry will perform so well the next time the Lakers offer this "one-star and four-shot" lineup?

Therefore, Albert feels that tonight's game is not representative.

The next confrontation between the two sides will be more informative.

"Dennis, well done!"

At the same time, Da Ben, who returned to the locker room, stepped forward to give Rodman a high-five immediately, and recognized this former opponent from his heart:

"You actually fulfilled your bragging rights!"

Rodman grinned proudly: "It must, I have already said, if that guy Scottie is desperate, he dares to challenge me one-on-one..."

"I feel like punching the shit out of him!"

I worked so hard just to catch up with the self who was once given high hopes.

Big Ben couldn't stop laughing.

He always thought that playing Xiang Xiang in Rodman's mouth was just an exaggerated description.

I didn't expect it to mean literally, it really hits Xiang!

It's so arrogant!

"Hmph, next time I go to Shidun, I'll make him kneel down and beg for mercy."

After this episode, Rodman was even more confident.

This time, even Lin is looking forward to the road trip to Boston.

Is it possible that the next time you go back to Boston, the big bug will hit Pippen again? !
What a hatred, what a resentment!

Although he also wants Rodman to share and share.

But the reputation of the Lakers is already bad enough, there can't be another ruthless person like Shi Tainong!

Winning against the Celtics without bloodshed, Silver Fox brought Kobe and Lin Hong to the post-match press conference with a smile on his face.

Unexpectedly, the reporter's first question was about Rodman.

"Coach Harris, did the team sign Dennis Rodman just to deal with this situation?"

The Boston reporter at the scene was aggressive: "Dennis provoked Scotty unscrupulously on the field, and finally used brutal means to beat Scottie to leave the field. This is not a game at all, but murder."

"First of all, I want to say that it's normal to talk trash on the field."

Silver Fox directly interrupted the Boston reporter's behavior of evading the most serious and ignoring the trivial, stating that the victim was not guilty, and slapping the shit bowl indiscriminately:
"First of all, I want to correct one point. The fuse of this conflict was caused by Scottie Pippen."

"He first gave Dennis an elbow on the defensive end. We can see this action clearly through the replay."

"Secondly, even in the last conflict, Scotty still made the first move."

"It's just that his punch was weak and failed to hit Dennis. Instead, after Dennis avoided it, he punched Scottie Pippen in defense."

Silver Fox Harris' well-founded answer left the aggressive Boston reporters speechless for an instant.

Yes.

It was Pippen who struck first in the first conflict.

In the second conflict, he was the first to strike.

No matter how you look at this matter, it's all Pippen's own humiliation!

"Here, I want to solemnly reiterate."

Silver Fox, who has taken the initiative to speak, took advantage of the situation to stand on the moral high ground and stated his position:
"The Los Angeles Lakers will not allow any form of violence, and we will also issue a serious warning to Dennis himself!"

Ok……

Serious warning, literally.

"However, if the opponent provokes first, or even fights, our players will not shrink back and let others bully!"

The last sentence is the focus of Silver Fox.

In his view, if the two sides finish the game peacefully and compete for superiority based on their ability, then whoever is looking for trouble will definitely be severely punished.

But if the other party is picking quarrels and provoking troubles, and it's nothing to do, take the lead.

Then the Lakers players, there is no need to get used to it, fuck him.

Respond + do it, that's the true nature of a man!

If they don't even have the guts to defend themselves, Silver Fox would rather cut this kind of player.

whoever it is!

That's the bottom line for the Los Angeles Lakers.

People don't offend me, I don't offend people.

If someone offends me?

Then try Lin Hong's invincible iron elbow.

"I totally agree with Coach Harris, that's the culture and the bottom line of our team."

Kobe praised Silver Fox's domineering remarks online: "The NBA is not a game, every game is a battle of life and death."

"It's normal for the two sides in the war to fight each other's wits and talk trash."

"Similarly, the intensity of the confrontation between the two sides is very high, which is also normal."

"However, if the other party doesn't talk about Wude and strikes first, I also have no reason to compromise!"

Bryant and Silver Fox have expressed their views.

Lin Hong, who was the last to speak, had nothing to say, so he made a brief summary:

"Like I said to Coach Harris..."

"We don't cause trouble, but we are not afraid of trouble. This is the team culture of our Los Angeles Lakers."

Rodman, who was hiding in the corner, looked at the coach and teammates who were dedicated to protecting him, and suddenly had a strong sense of belonging.

He enjoys this kind of team atmosphere very much, there is no ulterior motives, no intrigues, only the purest trust among teammates, the purest brotherhood.

In addition to the yellow-green battle between the Lakers and the Celtics, the other opening games were also arranged very cleverly.

The Chicago Bulls of Qiao Mai's combination ushered in a new version of the New York Knicks at home.

There is one thing to say, the Knicks are definitely the biggest sufferer for the Bulls.

The gorilla Ewing was selected for the first team at the peak of his career, and lost to Jordan four times in five years, which is not too bad.

However, this rematch is already a matter of fact.

The second and third child of the Bulls Iron Triangle were both injured, leaving Jordan alone to guard Chicago.

At this time, the most well-known teammate around Jordan is only the "Europa Magician" Tony Kukoc.

On the Knicks side, things are different.

The gorilla jumped off the Empire State Building, and the New York Knicks entered the era of big sharks.

Shaquille O'Neal made his Knicks career debut.

The New York Werewolves and Sharks played an extremely dominant performance in their debut at the Chicago United Center.

But in the last quarter, Jordan wielded the death scythe and desperately reaped the score, vividly explaining what it means: Your uncle will always be your uncle.

Although the rookie McGrady is weak offensively, he is very clear about his position and maximizes his physical advantages.

Created opportunities repeatedly, delivered the shells to Jordan just right, and assisted the basketball god to take off and counterattack.

The score was tight in the fourth quarter.

In the end, it was the werewolf shark who resisted God Joe and won the anxious opening match.

"I am very happy to lead the team to win the first game of the new season. This is a good start."

Without Rodman's Bulls, O'Neal scored 32 points, 16 rebounds and 3 blocks at the basket.

In the post-match interview, O'Neal was in high spirits: "The team's running-in is not a problem at all."

"Sean, Stephen, and I are the strongest trio in the league, the new rulers of the East."

Although the Iron Triangle of Bulls has been disbanded.

But the younger Knicks iron triangle is already on the line!

"Shaq, this summer, you and the Boston Celtics are considered the most likely team to attack the Lakers."

"But today, the Celtics failed to withstand the fierce offensive of the Lakers. They were almost crushed."

The reporter at the scene continued to ask: "If you were facing the Lakers today, would you be able to take away the victory?"

"Of course, we are the strongest team in the Eastern Conference."

This time there was no need for the big shark to answer, and Kemp the Rainman answered directly: "Not only in the East, but even in the entire league, we are the strongest team."

The Knicks formed the core of the Wolf Shark Rain Trident, and the Rain Man also got the big contract he wanted to support his family.

At the same time, all the awesomeness he boasted may become a reality.

The strength of his teammates is guaranteed, so if you don't brag about it, how can you be worthy of his aggressive style as the originator of the violent power forward? !
more importantly.

The Knicks also retained the New York boxing champion - "Old Oak" Charles Oakley!
Even if he faced Lin Hong alone, he was not in vain!
Rain Man is typically overjoyed, so overjoyed that he selectively forgot the fact that Oakley didn't survive three rounds when facing Lin Hong's iron elbow last season.

Are you no longer afraid of fighting with Lin Hong?

You are afraid that you are thinking about farting!

Stephon Marbury, who was interviewed at the end, was much more direct.

"I've been waiting for an opportunity."

"I just want to prove to everyone that Allen and I are the best guards in the 96th class. As for Bryant? He is just a younger brother!"

"When Allen and I have teammates of the same level as Lin Hong, the results will only be better than Bryant!"

have to say.

Marbury has absolute true love for Iverson, and Iverson has true love for Lin Hong, and Kobe is just a junior.

Shark and Rainman, the two violent lunatics, are touching popular Wang Linhong and even the defending champion Lakers.

But Marbury didn't care about anything, only Iverson in his eyes.

This is true love!

At the same time, the Bulls' post-game interviews were also full of climaxes.

Jordan responded to the media's concerns about retirement.

"I won't retire until I win the next championship."

The answer given by Michael Jordan is very direct, and the four championship rings are too few: "So, I may choose to retire in June next year, or I may continue to play for a long time until I reach the championship again."

It is impossible to retire, and Jordan still has two goals that he has not achieved.

Prove that even without Pippen, he can lead the team to win the championship with a single core, and avenge the Los Angeles Lakers and win the championship!
Before accomplishing these two tasks, it is impossible for Jordan to retire.

Unless he really couldn't play anymore and was abandoned by the team.

But Jordan feels that his state this season is very good.

Another three to five years will not be a problem at all.

What's more, the young man brought in by the team this year is very talented, and it is not far away from surpassing Pippen.

Jordan firmly believes that under his urging, McGrady will improve at a rapid pace.

Although a Pippen is gone, but in exchange for a PLUS version with a higher ceiling of the template Pippen, the future can be expected.

Lin Hong took a look at McGrady's debut performance.

In terms of offense, rookie McGrady's performance is indeed quite hip.

After all, from the high school league directly upgraded to the more confrontational NBA, the initial adaptation process will indeed be more difficult.

But McGrady's physical talent is there, and he can lower his posture and start from defense, positioning himself as a defensive point forward, following the path of Pippen, hiding behind Jordan and developing wretchedly.

At least in terms of positioning himself, McGrady is very prescient.

Of course, this is also related to the positioning given to McGrady by the Bulls coaching staff.

Zen Master made a two-year plan for McGrady.

In Zen Master's view, Jordan's peak period is at least two years away.

It will take at least two years for McGrady to gradually upgrade and grow.

That is to say, by the 1999-2000 season, McGrady will enter the peak.

Before that, what the Bulls need to do is to give McGrady enough time and the ball to develop and grow, while keeping Jordan in shape and healthy.

Accumulate enough resources and bargaining chips, wait until the summer of 1999, a wave of Stud, to form a stronger lineup for the championship!

In the Bulls' locker room, a quote from a Zen master hangs on the wall:

I can lose a lot of things, but I will sum up the reasons and lessons of failure, and then try to win back what I lost.

In addition, the Jazz defeated the Houston Rockets at home in Salt Lake City.

The postman Malone elbowed left and elbowed right, beating the one-year-old Barkley into residual blood, helping the Jazz win with one elbow.

"We only have one opponent in the West, and that's the Los Angeles Lakers."

After defeating the old Big Three in Houston and winning the opening game, the Postman spoke a lot louder:

"Looking at the entire league, the Lakers are the only teams qualified to be our opponents. As for the Celtics, the New York Knicks... are nothing!"
