Basketball injuries only make me stronger

Chapter 48
The schedule was announced as early as August.

05-06赛季全部比赛共为119场，首场季前赛将于美国东部时间10月10日上演，由科利夫兰骑士队客场挑战华盛顿奇才，而姚麦领军的休斯敦火箭队将于10月11日奔赴费城，客场挑战76人队。

The preseason is for the team to run in.

Especially teams that have undergone reinforcements or undergone major personnel and coach adjustments need a few games to adapt.

Cheeks only joined the 76ers in May.So he doesn't even know most of the players on the team right now.The player he is most familiar with is naturally Iverson, which is inseparable from the fact that he was an assistant coach for the 76ers when Larry Brown was coaching.

And other players, such as the little AI Iguodala and Chris Webber, are all unfamiliar to Cheeks.

This was naturally a challenge for Cheeks.After studying the status quo of the 76ers for a long time, he found that some stubborn diseases are deeply rooted...that is, they are too dependent on superstars.

The specific situation can be seen from the performance of Kukoc at the beginning.

Kukoc once played for the legendary Bulls, but he performed poorly after arriving here.Many times, the veterans of the 76ers complained about Korver.

In this regard, Kukoc once explained helplessly: "I don't adapt to the 76ers' style of play."

Cheeks sighed.

How is it possible to adapt?

Kukoc used to be in the Bulls, the team that used triangle tactics to perfection.They run wildly on the court, pass the ball and create opportunities.When it came to the 76ers, he found desperately that every time he created an opportunity, the ball was passed to Iverson-even though Iverson was being double-teamed by three people.

Therefore, Kukoc naturally played extremely awkwardly.

Of course, that was when Cheeks was an assistant coach for the 76ers, but he doesn't think the 76ers have been freed from this state in the past two years.

Sometimes, Cheeks even thinks... If he wants to get rid of this superstar-dependent style of play, he can only choose to send Iverson away.

Iverson started to participate in training, and some problems were exposed, but not enough.

Therefore, the preseason is very important.

Cheeks came to this 76ers team not only because he is a legend of the 76ers, but also with the flavor of "accepting orders in danger".He is like a doctor, the first step to treat the pain of the 76ers is diagnosis.And this preseason game will let him see many problems of this team clearly!

While the training was in full swing, the media was not idle, and journalists began to come to the door continuously.

However, while the team was dealing with the media, the news from Houston broke out one after another.

First, McGrady announced his return with full blood.

Last season, McGrady just showed the world a 35-second miracle and was once pushed to the altar.But a while ago, the back injury recurred, and the media were worried about his health this season.

McGrady officially announced his return and said that he would go to Philadelphia to compete with Yao Ming, which immediately raised the attention of this game a lot.

At the same time, what Lian Feng didn't expect was that his own attention suddenly increased.There is only one reason, this is the only Chinese matchup in the NBA.

In fact, this part of the attention is mainly from domestic.

Lian Feng is training in the United States with his head depressed, and he doesn't hear anything outside the window, but Zhuo Mei is already crazy busy.Because she has to deal with domestic reporters every day.

I have to say that Huaguo fans are really enthusiastic, and they pay more attention to Lian Feng than Lian Feng himself and CAA imagined.

As the second active Chinese player in the NBA, whether he can become the second Yao Ming is a matter of concern to all fans.

In fact, there is no need to be surprised.In 2021, Zeng Fanbo, a talented young man with signs, will make a development league Ignition team gain attention comparable to that of a real NBA team, let alone a more talented Lianfeng?

Lian Feng skipped the system and entered the NBA directly. His appearance seemed out of thin air. Many people had never heard of the name Lian Feng before.So CAA seized the opportunity and hired someone to write some articles combining fiction and reality, portraying Lian Feng as a talented boy who devoted himself to basketball.

Lian Feng, who has been unknown for a long time, was finally discovered by a well-known scout with his enthusiasm, love for basketball, and silent efforts.

Some sluggish performances during the college league were brushed aside.No matter who is willing to see ups and downs of the story, there are dramatic stories.Even if the media with good deeds dig deep, they will eventually fall into Rashomon, but the truth and reality are unclear.

In this era of underdeveloped information transmission, the image of Lian Feng appeared in the public eye so unreally.

Occasionally, some of Lian Feng's former acquaintances tried to restore his true image, but they were still submerged in the huge wave of information and couldn't make a splash.

The domestic attention increased sharply with the game between the 76ers and the Rockets.

On the one hand, there is a talented and rising NBA star. His NBA debut was against the Rockets. Whether it is a mule or a horse, you can know it in this game, and the attention is naturally high.

On the other side is Yao Ming, the Great Wall of China, the current No. [-] center in the NBA, the pride of the Chinese, and the team also has a superstar Tracy McGrady who touched God last season.

The game has not yet started, and the domestic paper media have already expressed various opinions on this game.

Of course, unlike the Rockets, the 76ers' Lianfeng is just an inconspicuous little player, while Yao Ming is the undoubted star of the Rockets. The status of the two cannot be compared, so the focus of the article is also different.

For the Rockets, everyone is concerned about whether the healthy Yao-Mai combination can perform well this season and how their status is.

You know, the Rockets are the favorites to win this season!
On the 76ers side, there are speculations about how much Lian Feng's talent can be fulfilled, and how many minutes of playing time he can get in his first show.

Compared with Yao Ming, fans should not have too low expectations for Lian Feng.

"Hopefully he gets a point or two."

"Don't expect him to play very well, but I hope he will not be too bad."

"It's the NBA after all, he's still a rookie, don't put too much pressure on him!"

"Let's wait and see. There are really very few Chinese players who can enter the NBA. Those who can enter are all top players in China. People can enter based on their ability. This is worthy of recognition. Not everyone is Yao Ming."

In the United States, everyone paid less attention to Lian Feng.

The combination of Yao and Mai against Iverson Webber has become a hot topic of public opinion.

Many basketball commentators have expressed their views on the current situation of the two sides, and most people believe that... with the current Rockets lineup, the 76ers can be easily defeated.

Even, the basketball commentator who has always spoken amazingly, the 76ers star Barkley said in an interview with ESPN: "Both teams are the teams I have been with. I have to say that the Rockets will win. If the 76ers win I'm off to Philly to pick up basketball for their shooter for the day!"

Of course, the biggest promoter and beneficiary of the 76ers and Rockets matchup is of course Reebok.Yao Ming and Iverson are the two trump cards of Reebok. No matter who wins the duel between the two, it is a good thing for Reebok.

The momentum has been quietly created.

Fans, began to look forward to the duel between the two teams.
