New Century Basketball Frenzy

Chapter 256 Against the Pacers

The core combination of the new generation of the Lakers represented by the Bruins is known as the savior of the Staples Arena.Because the records of the two home teams have been poor in recent years, this prestigious arena has also lost its former style.

"Has it been 10 years? Or hasn't it been the main stadium for the season opener for a longer time?" The mood of the on-site commentary was also very excited.The appearance of Zhang Yi saved the Los Angeles Lakers, and the audience in Los Angeles will of course give back with the greatest enthusiasm to the team that made them look forward to.

The 2-seat venue was full, and all the legends came to support, plus countless Los Angeles people stood in front of the TV and waited for the coming of the Lakers era.

Zhang Yi is like a meritorious player who brought a championship here. Although his future is still unknown, it is obvious that he has already completed the major premise of revitalizing the basketball market in Los Angeles.

Not only Zhang Yi, Wally and Robert also gained a vote of supporters early. The world of the NBA is simple and cruel, and those who are capable will be sought after.At the same time, it doesn't mean that you will reap as much as you pay, and this is a place where you can rely on your talents to make a living.

The Indiana Pacers in the away game took the lead. If they were not assigned to the game against the Los Angeles Lakers, they would not have enjoyed the treatment of the opening game for a long time.

Although they are not the protagonists tonight, this is definitely an opportunity for fans all over the world to pay more attention to themselves.Especially for All-Star shooting guard Frey and center Thomps, being a tepid star is not their lifelong goal. Now that they have such an opportunity, they must cherish it.

Although they were beaten through the rookie team by Zhang Yi and others in the preseason, this does not mean that the Pacers cannot win after sending out regular starters.Because the Lakers' rookie team is basically their main force, the Pacers have fully understood.

Of course, the Los Angeles people made a series of operations at the last moment, but the so-called reinforcements did not have any stars who could change the situation.The Pacers naively thought that what the Lakers showed in the preseason was their true strength.

When the Lakers came on the field, the audience went into a state of madness, especially when Zhang Yi ran out of the player tunnel. The noise was so loud that it wanted to break the ceiling of the arena!

Zhang Yi waved his fists to all the audience who supported him, which can be regarded as his representative action.From the beginning of the NCAA to the preseason games of the NBA, Zhang Yi's personal label is Zhang Yi.So nearly 2 people from Staples also raised a single punch with him.

In the eyes of other Lakers players, this may be moving and exciting, but in the eyes of opponents, this is simply unreasonable.The Pacers players don't understand why this yellow-skinned teenager deserves such crazy admiration.

From this moment on, Zhang Yi officially started his regular season journey.Wang Long under the stage also smiled, "Let's start your performance."

The match was broadcast throughout Southeast Asia, and it was almost 20 years ago that the last player with such a dazzling yellow skin appeared.

Back then, as a rookie, Wang Long won the regular season MVP, scoring champion and All-Star MVP, and was directly called the Eastern Emperor!Although it is a pity that he missed the championship, and even the injury directly ruined his entire career, but now, Zhang Yi will not repeat his mistakes, because the league has no longer passed through that dark period.

Before the game started, Frey, who was a shooting guard, was not very friendly with Robert.Of course, this is the attitude that veterans have always had towards rookies.

With the conflict with the Sacramento Kings, other teams have basically learned their lesson.But the Pacers apparently didn't.They can't be blamed for this. After walking out of Indiana, the Pacers don't have many supporters. The Lakers' fiery ball market is too fascinating.

The same applies to the position of the center forward. When Wally took the initiative to shake hands with his senior Leonardo, the other party also said coldly, "I won't shake hands with the enemy before the game." Take it to heart, after all, the future is long, and it is better to speak with strength than to have friction outside the court.

When Zhang Yi was standing, there were two people watching him before he had the ball.Waiting for the midfield scramble, although the height is limited, but the timing of Wally's jump is very good, so he won the first attack for the Lakers.

Point guard Oscar advanced with the ball and stabilized the situation first.Zhang Yi immediately passed the defender through his speed, and when he turned his head and winked, Oscar's ball was immediately sent over.

Even if he was taken care of by the two, it would be useless if he couldn't keep up with the speed. Only about 10 seconds into the game, Zhang Yi flew to receive a dunk dunk and scored the first goal of his career.

There was also warm applause and cheers at the scene!No matter how strong Zhang Yi is, he is still a 19-year-old kid. What if he has stage fright?Any mental quality will affect his performance...

But from the first ball onwards, everyone's heart was finally relieved.Worrying about Zhang Yi is like eating carrots and worrying about them.This guy is born with a big heart. As the youngest ruler on the court, the word stage fright may not be in his dictionary.

The Pacers' defense has not yet been fully implemented and was beaten into one by Zhang Yi, so the Indiana is still very confident that they can kick these rookies to the damn rookie wall.

When it's their turn to attack, although shooting guard Frey does not have possession of the ball, the point guard is also waiting for his running position.First, open the space by moving outside.The star Leonardo is a typical high fort and space center.

Frey's singles breakthrough layup and emergency stop jumper are the main ways for the Pacers to score. Coupled with their one-in-one-out cooperation, Leonardo can shoot three-pointers and turn the world around the basket.

It's just that since last season, the active cooperation between these two people has begun to decrease.Most of the time, Frey will pass when he sees Leonardo has an open opportunity, otherwise he will force it by himself.

This is what happens when a team has two All-Star caliber players, each with their own agendas.Frey worried that his teammates' numbers were better than his own, which would affect his status as the team leader.

And Leonardo is also an ambitious player, and of course he was dissatisfied when he saw Frey secretly suppressing him.It's just that because the two have also played together for 5 seasons, the Pacers' results are acceptable, so it hasn't reached the point of breaking up.

The same is true for this attack, Leonardo has pulled Wally out.Then I saw Frey use his speed and feints as usual to shake off Robert and enter the penalty area.When the Lakers contracted, Leonardo was supposed to wait for his opportunity on the outside, but he needed individual performances, so he rushed in too...

"What the hell? Why did you bring your defender in?" Frey complained to his teammate after getting a solid cap from Wally. "If you give me the ball before the layup, it goes in!"

"Are you serious? Are you engaging in internal strife?" Frey looked angry.The five members of the Lakers looked at each other. Is this still an NBA team, and there was infighting at the beginning? !
