Chapter 180 The opening day of the regular season
After the training camp, the days returned to calm. After Yang Di participated in two more joint trainings, the Warriors team started the preseason game. It was already mid-October.

The eyes of the media will not always be on the Warriors. The transformed and upgraded Rockets, the revamped Heat, and the comeback Spurs are all more worthy of attention than the Warriors.In other words, the Warriors as a whole, including Richardson, is just a grassroots team that has never been selected to the All-Star Game or the best team of the season.

What's so good about the bumpkin team?Ding Potian is also the second-to-last in the West.

Then everyone is chasing the dreams and footsteps of superstars, crying and yelling and revolving around them every day, even if it's a fart, it's still news, isn't it?
We report what the fans like to watch.

Montgomery already had a prototype of the Warriors' lineup for the new season in his mind. Looking at the generals in his hands, he really didn't have any strong points. The strongest Richardson's defense was a mess.

"Fortunately, there are Yang Di and Aranado." These two inside defenders gave him a little confidence, and he began to implement some basic tactical ideas and ideas of the team, and evolved some conventional tactics.

No one knows what he can bring to the team from Stanford University. In short, there are many theoretical lessons that need to be learned and practiced.

Then in the process of this practice, the Warriors suffered a three-game losing streak in the preseason.

After finally winning against the Timberwolves, who had no fighting spirit, they suffered another three-game losing streak. There is no team that played worse than the Warriors in the preseason.

Yang Di didn't play once, with such explosive power and training camp state, Montgomery was the first to tear his mouth open when he was said to be injured, but the general manager didn't believe it.

"It's better to believe what you have than to believe what you don't have. Don't overuse it. It's better to adjust everything." Chris Mullin is really afraid that Yang Di will be injured again. A torn ligament is not a joke. After reading Montgomery's report on the training camp, he was convinced that this particular kid could accomplish something.

Before the start of the new season, Yang Di finished training with Tim Hardaway, and his ability to control the ball has increased significantly, and his ability to protect the ball has also improved.Then, as he imagined, he went to the store to buy a training card for the first time on his own. Nash's three touch trainings made his mid-range and long-range shooting scores higher.

In the shooting score, the growth rate of inside shooting has slowed down, 97 is not far from the S-mark, close-range shooting has increased to 87, mid-range shooting is 88, three-point shooting is 50, short-range and mid-range shooting ratings Very similar, Yang Di feels that as long as he is not a long-range shot, he should have a certain degree of confidence by now.

The only thing that needs to be improved is the way of shooting. Now it is mainly catch-and-shoot jump shots. The shooting speed is not fast, and it is not a difficult shot like a straight-arm jump shot. It is easy to be interfered by others, and the anti-interference shooting score is still only 66. , indicating that he still has a long way to go as a marksman.

"88 in dribbling, 82 in non-handed dribbling, and 97 in protecting the ball." Yang Di felt for himself.

Such a good weapon can be enjoyed by opponents during the regular season.

It seems that the Pistons beat the Lakers to win the championship last night. In the blink of an eye, the 04-05 season is about to start again.

Despite the presence of such a powerful team as the Lakers in the Finals, boring games, a lot of defense and poor shooting still failed to save the ratings, which were only slightly higher than last year's Nets vs. Spurs.

So before the start of the 04-05 season, the league promulgated a new rule - NOhandcheck, which canceled the hand contact defense.It is stipulated that players cannot make any hand touches or interference with the breakthrough advancer before the penalty area, such as not opening their arms to block the movement of defensive players.

Obviously, the league is to encourage outside players to attack, to encourage a bunch of top wing players to go inside, to make kills, to dunk, to make the game more exciting and more in line with the audience's taste.

The introduction of this policy has caused many head coaches to criticize, but it has actually promoted the development of modern basketball.

This year's regular season starts on November 11, and October 2, before the start of the regular season, is a traditional Western festival-Halloween.

After a month, Yang Di gradually got to know his teammates. The whole Warriors team agreed to take a group photo with a role-playing PK, and they went to the arena to do activities together in the evening.

Nancy made a magician's dress, with a tall round hat on her head, which made her already tall figure even more outstanding.

Yang Di took Nancy to the arena to participate in activities together.

He himself is also dressed as a magician, and he also has a tall hat, which is matched with Nancy's pure white magician costume, and Yang Di's pure orange color. In the hat, in the pocket, candy was taken out, attracting a group of children humbling over.

Throughout the arena, there are games specially set up by the Warriors officials. For example, Yang Di saw Richardson running to the entrance of the arena pretending to be a wax figure, constantly pranking passers-by, which made the fans laugh.And Foyer, wearing the little blue trapeze jacket named "Thunder," the Warriors' mascot, pretended to be stationary at first, but whenever someone walked past, he suddenly jumped out, scaring many people to turn around and run away. run.

Fisher is a professional videographer, holding a small machine camera to record everyone.

On the field of the arena, many children played games with basketballs. Before the 15-person height group just made by the Warriors, it attracted many fans to take pictures.

Halloween is one of Yang Di's favorite events. Yang Di dragged Nancy around the entire arena, and when the event was over, the two were reluctant to leave the arena.

On November 11, the NBA regular season officially started amidst the noise.

NBA officials arranged a total of three games on this day. The first game was the Rockets, who challenged the defending champion Pistons away. There are many advocating that this is another round of OK-level rise, and that the Rockets will win the championship just around the corner.

Yao Ming is also full of confidence. He told Yang Di on the phone a few days ago that he must first prove himself by defeating the Pistons. The goal of this season is the championship.

Yang Di was noncommittal, and waited and watched the performance of the Rockets.

As a result, the Rockets were really strong, and at the end of the third quarter, they tied the Pistons at 59.However, Yao Ming's personal scoring was very embarrassing, and he had not yet reached double figures under the defense of Daben.

In the last quarter, Yao Ming's physical strength was at a disadvantage, and the Pistons took turns attacking the Rockets inside. Although they were blocked four times, they scored a total of 28 points in this quarter. You know, these are all points from positional battles!
The tough Pistons made 9 fouls in this quarter. Except for Yao Ming, they fouled all other players. The Rockets made 15 of 11 free throws and scored 11 points in this quarter, but the total score was still only 20 points. Basically maintained the score in the first three quarters, and finally lost the game 79 to 87.

Yang Di watched the entire game and found that the overall defense of the Rockets was not bad, but some parts were not very good. For example, at the power forward position, Rasheed Wallace scored 11 points in the final quarter, and no one in the fourth position of the Rockets could limit him.

The second game was a game between the Kings and the Mavericks. Yang Di's former friend Devin Harris, who was the fifth overall pick this year, started the game with the Mavericks as Nash's substitute.

The game between the two teams and the Rockets and Pistons was the opposite. They played offensive basketball, and in the end the Mavericks won the game 107 to 98.

The Lakers vs. Nuggets is Game [-] of Opening Day.

The whole world wants to see whether the Lakers without O'Neal and whether Kobe can carry forward alone. The Nuggets, a fringe team in the playoffs last season, just tested their quality.

As a result, Kobe's touch was mediocre, and he mainly connected the team with passing. He only took 14 shots in the game. The Lakers won the visiting Nuggets 89 to 78.
