I really just want to lie down and win

Chapter 77 The Preseason Begins

The new NBA season will start on Halloween, and the opening game will be the Magic. The opponent of the Magic is the Houston Mosaic team led by Yao Ming. As soon as Stern comes up, he will hold a China Derby to earn a wave of interest first.

In the other game, the Lakers played against the Heat, and it was also an old father-son game.

There is not much time until the opening of the NBA regular season, so the Magic must seize all the time to train.

In the current lineup, the two CBA stars Shavlik Randolph and Alan Anderson have non-guaranteed contracts. In addition to them, the North Carolina core of Jawad Williams is also the same. According to the magic lineup plan, the three of them There can only be one person left, so the next preseason is very important for them.

The opponent of the Magic in the first preseason game was the Eagles. In this game, Rocky’s hand feeling was not good, but under his entanglement, the new Hawks King Joe Johnson felt even worse. Joe scored 22 points in 4 of 10 singles. Can't compare to Rocky's double-double of 12 points and 10 assists. Howard and Randolph are very comfortable in this game, and Grant Hill is also full of vitality in the second position. The only thing that feels uncomfortable Only Turkoglu, the Turk, thought he would be the core of the Magic, but when Rocky came, everything changed. In the hands of Key, this is very uncomfortable for Turkoglu, a striker who is biased towards organization.

And the No. 5 pick Marvin Williams has never played against Randolph. Under the squeeze of the blue fat man and the crazy shots of Joe Johnson, the No. 2 pick only has [-] points and [-] rebounds. This data is completely sorry for him. The pick, especially Billy Knight, after losing this preseason game, the entire Atlanta fans were extremely angry. Wouldn't everything be fine if they chose Rocky, but in the end they got such a dubious guy.

Billy Knight is very innocent, and Rocky is also very strong in the game. He is 13 of 3. If it is not for free throws, it is unknown whether he can score in double figures. It's not terrible to lose, it's embarrassing whoever goes undercover.

Randolph played well in this game. He scored a game-high 30 points and had 5 rebounds. Howard also had 21 points and 20 rebounds. Otis Smith was very satisfied with this game. Although Los Angeles Key's touch is not good, but he also helped the team win with passing and defense, which is completely ok.

After the game, Marvin Williams came over and hugged Rocky and North Carolina teammate Jawad Williams, who scored five points in garbage time.

After playing the Eagles in the away game, the opponent in the next preseason game became the Dallas Mavericks.

Before the start of the game, the Mavericks' starting point guard Harris said in an interview, "I know about the rumors during the draft, so I will treat this preseason game as the finals." Play, I will let the rookie on the opposite side know what the NBA is."

Devin Harris was very angry. In the 71 games he played last season, he only started less than 20 games and averaged 15 points in 5 minutes per game. Isn’t that enough? As a result, at the beginning of the draft, the Mavericks I also want to use myself as a bargaining chip to trade with the Eagles and other teams, but those teams have no interest in me at all, otherwise Rocky will really go to the Mavericks, which also makes Harris hate Rocky even more .

The starting point guard of the Mavericks in this game is Harris, and his partner is Terry. The junior general Johnson did not let the taller Adrian Griffin play. This game is a game that Harris cannot lose. If he loses, the pressure of public opinion will pounce on him even more frantically.

Harris took a deep breath, and looked at Rocky in the center of the water house. Rocky was expressionless, fighting Duncan.Two big jump balls, Dampier, the second center in the West, took the lead to compete with Howard.

Rocky took the ball from Howard and slowly pushed it forward, but Harris took the initiative to stick it up. He wanted to stop Rocky in the opening game. If Rocky's shooting is still as bad as in the last game If it is, the chances of the Mavericks winning are much higher. They are not a rookie team like the Eagles.

Rocky retreated a bit, accelerated with his left foot, turned around, and passed in front of Devin Harris with explosive force. Terry in the frontcourt rushed over. Rocky didn't even look at each other. The gap was too big, so he chose to shoot directly on the spot, the offensive and defensive sense of smell and the nerve knife were triggered, and with a swipe, the ball hit the net.

A three-pointer was scored, and the whole center of the water room thought of a round of applause. The Magic has rarely had this kind of passionate three-pointer, especially after Tracy left. Tracy's two scoring leaders, many scores are just such a goal. Just throw it out.

Harris' face darkened for a moment, he didn't expect Rocky to give himself the first blow, fuck, he received the ball and quickly came to the frontcourt, after a crotch, he wanted to change direction from Rocky's right side Well, it has become a fact that Rocky is left-handed, and everyone will hold on to this point and beat him to death.

Harris's attributes are still good, especially the physical attributes are simply off the charts. Several attributes have reached the highest threshold of the score, but technical attributes, passing, and shooting are two things. Harris is not an ordinary hot eye. His strength He is about to break through to B, but it is still too difficult for him to pass Rocky in front of him. Rocky made up for it. Harris can only choose to retreat, but shooting is not his strong point. He does not dribble, but Accelerate twice, and come back with a carbine from the right side of Rocky. If Rocky didn't have these months of penance, he would really be knocked down by Harris. Unfortunately, Harris met Rocky who worked several times harder than him.

Rocky was still stuck in his breakthrough route, and the ball went straight out with a bang. Grant Hill had been waiting by the side, seeing the ball rolling on the floor, picked it up and started fast break, Terry His defense depends entirely on his eyes, so he can't see Hill at all, even without Hill, who is striding forward, he can't defend.

The Mavericks were suppressed by the Magic at the beginning. Devin Harris, the sophomore who said before the game that he would teach Rocky, was the first to be suppressed by Rocky. Although this is not a regular season, it is just a preseason game, but the preseason game This thing, isn’t it just to find the problem? Devon Harris is not some unknown person. He was the fifth pick in last year’s draft. In the end, he played like a rookie against Rocky, and Rocky Ji is like an old bird.

General Manager Johnson looked at Old General Manager Nelson in displeasure, "If we were more generous back then, we wouldn't have to watch this kind of crappy game, Don."
