Chapter 207 Opener

Rockefeller Center suddenly entered the Mullin moment, and all the fans cheered and jumped for their former hero!

Seeing Mullin bowing to the fans from time to time on the court, Bruce couldn't help puffing up his hands more and more with emotion!

"Thank you, thank you very much for still remembering Chris!!" Mullin shouted excitedly, glanced at the time on the wall clock in the arena, and then shouted: "Guys, let us witness the greatness of the Warriors together." !!"

As soon as Mullin finished speaking, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the warm-up amidst the cheers of the fans!

In the opening game of the new season, in addition to the Warriors against the Suns, there will be as many as 31 games on the 13st!
Among them, the game that has attracted the most attention from the media is the game between the Lakers and the Trail Blazers and the Spurs and the Pacers!

Through the strong performance last season, the Lakers and Trail Blazers have both become the league's most mainstream championship group.

The game between the Pacers and the Spurs is also regarded as a very exciting battle.

Before these two games, a large number of fans poured into the home court of the Trail Blazers and the home court of the Spurs!

Excluding these two games, Warriors VS Suns, 76 VS Knicks without Ewing, are the second only to the Lakers and other teams!

Among them, the most concerned by the media is the Warriors' first game after changing the name of the arena, and what kind of results the 76ers will achieve under the leadership of Iverson!

Before the game, the media were generally optimistic about the Warriors. Due to some injury factors and the slightly calm situation of the Suns in the summer, in this game, basically all the media and columnists were optimistic about the Warriors!
In the stadium, as the players returned to the field, some urgent pre-match warm-ups began!

Bruce looked in the direction of the Suns dugout and looked at the two people in casual clothes sitting behind the team. He couldn't help feeling very sorry that these two players couldn't play!

These two are none other than Anfernee Hardaway and Tom Gugliotta, two of the Suns Trident!
Due to injuries, the two were not able to enter the field in the opening game, but were put on the injured list by the coach and the team!
Anfernee Hardaway, as the No. 93 pick in [-], was selected by the Magic with O'Neal.

When he gradually showed his super strength, the Magic gradually became an amazing team under the leadership of him and O'Neal.

In the next few years, partnering with O'Neal to enter the finals once reached the pinnacle of life!
But with the sudden onset of injuries and O'Neal's sudden departure to Los Angeles, the guy known as "Jordan II" gradually sank!
When the Magic were tired of his injuries and poor record, the Suns used a 7-year contract with a sky-high price of 8400 million US dollars to extradite this injury-ridden titan to Phoenix in a shocking way!

In the last season, Hardaway got a super data of 17+5+5 in the first season of the Suns, but his injury problem still caused the Suns a headache!
This season has just begun, and Hardaway has been exempted from the game because of his old injury.

Gugliotta is slightly better. This white titan became famous in the Timberwolves. With his sturdy style of play and good strength, he was once selected to the All-Star Game in 1997.

When he became a free agent in 98, because the Timberwolves gradually established Garnett as the core, after the Suns offered a 6-year $5800 million contract, he resolutely signed a contract with the Suns!
If it weren't for the injury problem, Gugliotta would definitely become one of the best white power forwards.

In this game, although the two will not play, the main lineup has a combination of Jason Kidd, Clifford Robinson and Sean Marion, but it is still not to be underestimated!

"drop!!"

After a huge flute sounded in the stadium, players from both sides returned to the field one after another!
The coaches of both sides quickly arranged tactics for the players, and then even under the signal of the referee, the main players of both sides walked towards the court one after another!
Chris Dudley, who had just been changed to the Suns this summer, walked near the center line with Dampier as the starting center!

"Today is the opening game, I hope you can restrain your behavior!!" The referee quickly explained to the players on both sides when he was about to serve.

Immediately after the players nodded, the referee looked at Dampier and Dudley, and threw the basketball into the air after both nodded!

"Snapped!"

When the basketball was flying to the highest point, Dampier, who had already recovered, pointed him in the direction of Kassel!

With Cassell firmly controlling the basketball, and with the advancement of the Warriors, the game suddenly kicked off!
The starters sent by the Suns are center Chris Dudley, power forward Clifford Robinson, small forward Sean Marion, shooting guard Rex Chapman and Suns guard Jay Sen Kidd!
The Warriors still sent the original team that performed well last season!

Cassell brought the ball to the frontcourt smoothly. Because of his years of matchup with Kidd, he was very afraid of the opponent's steals, so he was very careful in protecting the basketball!
With the arrival of Cassel, other players of the Warriors ran tactics one after another!
After a season of running-in, the Warriors have established a very changeable offensive and defensive system.

When Carter quickly ran to the right three-point line, Cassel quickly passed the ball with his right hand under Kidd's sudden pressure!

After receiving the pass, Carter looked at Chapman in front of him, then quickly glanced at the running position of his teammates, and then ran to the right along the three-point line to the bottom corner!

Seeing Carter's actions, the rest of the players quickly moved their defenders away, opening possible singles for him!
Carter slowly ran to the bottom corner, slapped the basketball with his right hand, and suddenly stuck his left foot out!
Seeing Carter's action, Chapman quickly took a step forward, because in the matchups in the previous seasons, he already knew Carter's next move very well!

"After two seasons of growth, Vince has gradually shown super competitive ability and skills, Rex should be more careful!" Rick Barry looked at Carter who was about to attack on the court, and said with great anticipation !
Bruce quietly waited for Carter's upcoming offense. Since the summer Olympic trip, Carter has shown everyone his powerful breakthroughs and dunks.

In this game, as the star of the Warriors, everyone is looking forward to what kind of performance he will make!
When everyone was looking forward to looking at the court, Carter quickly retracted his left foot, and even when Chapman was obviously a little tight, a simple change of direction broke through his defense!

Seeing that Carter broke through Chapman and rushed to the inside, Chris Dudley and Robinson both blocked his way forward!

Will Dirk Nowitzki and Dampier make it easy for them to intercept?

After Carter stepped into the restricted area and took off, under the entanglement of Dirk Nowitzki and Dampier, a two-handed slam dunk exploded the entire arena!

"Wow!!!"

All the fans stood up excitedly. They had been waiting for this scene for too long. Now that they saw Carter's performance again, everyone screamed and shouted in excitement! !
"Cool!" Barry stood up excitedly, looking at Carter who was yelling loudly on the court. Although he had seen many opponents' performances, he still couldn't help being excited after this powerful dunk appeared. Applause!
Kidd looked at Carter, who was celebrating with his teammates excitedly, with flickering eyes. Thinking of the two teammates who couldn't play off the court, a trace of disappointment suddenly appeared on his face!
After receiving the pass from Robinson, Kidd's expression suddenly changed, and his whole temperament changed!

A trace of excitement flashed across Bruce's face. Looking at Kidd who was slowly advancing forward on the court, especially after seeing the serious expression on the opponent's face, he couldn't help but look forward to the Suns' response!

Kidd quickly brought the ball to the front court, looked at the slightly thin Cassel in front of him, quickly glanced at the running position of his teammates, and then rushed to the inside quickly after a series of fake moves!
Under the cover of his teammates, Kidd went all the way into the penalty area, and then Dirk Nowitzki and Dampier had no time to defend, and he threw the ball with a smooth high throw with his right hand!

"Shhh!!"

In the sound of rubbing the net and getting into the basket, Kidd kept waving his provocative right hand!

This is the characteristic of Kidd. His breakthrough and fake moves are very troublesome. Although he is not outstanding in shooting, he is still one of the top point guards in the league with his super breakthrough ability and excellent assists. one!

As the stars of both sides got the first goal since the opening, the players of both sides started a fierce competition!

Bruce sat off the court, watching the players running on the court. If this game was not the opening game, the fans who watched it would definitely think that this is a wonderful battle for the last game of the playoffs!

Afterwards, Nowitzki and Robinson quickly found their touch, and both fired frequently from the outside!

If Nowitzki hadn't entered the league, Robinson would have been one of the best shooters at power forward.

After the two hit one after another, the Warriors still lead the Suns by 2 points!
Throughout the first quarter, the two teams played very fiercely, and the performance of the Suns seemed to be responding to those who were not optimistic before the game. Everyone showed a very tough stance.

When the first quarter ended, the Warriors returned to the field excitedly with a score of 34:23, relying on Carter and Nowitzki to play a good role in succession!
Under the attack of the power forwards of the two teams, Nowitzki beat Robinson's four-pointer with two three-pointers from three shots!
As for the defender, Kidd did his part to get a proud 4 assists and 6 points, but Cassell seemed a little more ordinary, only got 2 assists and 2 points!
