The older superstars of the NBA

The opening game of the new season.

NBA officials know the preferences of fans very well. They specially arranged the Los Angeles Lakers and New York Knicks together, and arranged the Brooklyn Nets and Los Angeles Clippers together to allow the four most popular players to participate. into it.

This indeed attracted a large number of fans to watch the game. Not only was the scene very popular, there were also many fans outside the stadium watching the live broadcast at the same time.

Madison Square Garden players.

Before the game started, the Knicks specially gave the players a pre-game welcome ceremony. Under the watchful eyes of the fans, the players led by Zhao Feiyang took turns walking into the infield.

"Let us welcome Zhao Feiyang."

"He was the FMVP last season and helped the team win the second championship... He is a well-deserved hero of this city! Let us welcome him..."

All the fans stood up and screamed. Under the illumination of the lights, Zhao Feiyang trotted into the venue while waving.

Next up were Zach LaVine, Adrian Ennis, Derrick Rose and Andre Draymond.

The ceremony ended quickly.

This seemingly simple activity really boosted the morale of the Knicks and made the fans in the stadium cheer wildly.

Although the Nets and Knicks are only separated by a river, one is in Brooklyn and the other is in Manhattan. They both seem to be teams in the same city.

But in fact, the Knicks are much more popular than the Nets.

The Nets are popular because they have the new Big Three, and most of the popularity is directed at the Big Three.

The Knicks are different. The team is a whole to the fans. Although many people come here for Zhao Feiyang, the Knicks' championship experience made them fall in love with this team and their feelings for it. It's also completely different from the Nets.

More importantly, no one knows how long the Big Three can stay with the Nets. Whether it’s Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, or James Harden, they all have their own cities that they have been loyal to for a long time. They all came together just for the championship.

For New York fans, the three don't seem to consider the city their home.

Compared with the Knicks, the Knicks are obviously more popular with them. After all, the honor and huge influence brought by Zhao Feiyang have already made the city's cohesion very different from before.

After the Knicks players came out, it was the Warriors players' turn to come out!

In order to let the Warriors feel the treatment on the road, the fans at the scene shouted at the top of their voices. However, what was shouted was not various words of welcome to them, but various taunts.

Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson are okay, they are still relatively popular among fans, but when it comes to Draymond Green, it is completely different.

All the fans gave him were boos, and there were even many curses.

"Draymond, you bitch!"

"Joker! You have soiled basketball!"

"If I had a crowbar, I would stick that thing inside your ass..."

Amidst the boos, LeBron James walked out of the tunnel.

In the past, when he came to the Knicks, he received more cheers. As the league's signature star, although he was controversial before, his image off the court is still good, at least there has not been any gossip or bad things. .

But this time, New York fans didn't buy his account at all.

Countless people booed LeBron crazily, especially the fans on both sides of the stands. Not only did no one reach out to give LeBron a high-five, more people made all kinds of grimaces and contemptuous gestures towards him.

"LeBron, you coward... you are worse than that guy Kevin..."

"Hey, LeBron, you should join forces with Durant and suggest that you form a new team. Why not call it the 'Wimps' team!"

"You used to be a superstar, but now you are just a joke... You are no longer my favorite star! You are not worthy of being the league's signature player..."

LeBron looks very calm.

Perhaps he had already been mentally prepared for this as early as the moment he made his decision.

It is not easy to withstand the "storm" from the fans. Durant broke the defense because of this, and LeBron seemed to be in better condition than Durant.

There wasn't much expression on his face, neither happiness nor sadness. He was like a cold robot with no emotion.

beep.

The timer sounded and the starting lineups of both teams took to the court.

The Warriors' starters are Curry's trio, with JaVale McGee at No. 5 and LeBron at No. 3.

The Knicks have made slight adjustments.

Of course, Zhao Feiyang's trio remains unchanged, with Andre Drummond playing the fifth position, but Adrian temporarily goes to the fourth position, leaving the third position to Andrew Wiggins this time.

The reason for this arrangement is also deliberate by coach Norman Thomas.

After all, who doesn't know that Wiggins risked his life when he beat LeBron? Now that Wiggins is sent, the main thing is to give him the right medicine.

Snapped.

The referee threw the ball high.

Drummond slapped the ball out, and the ball fell into the hands of Adrian, who quickly handed the ball to LaVine.

LaVine swapped positions with Zhao Feiyang, and he went to the second position to be responsible for scoring. The task of organizing the offense was temporarily handed over to LaVine.

After halftime, LaVine observed the situation on the court at the top of the key.

Zhao Feiyang came up from the wing to receive the basketball.

After getting the ball, he faced Thompson with the ball in one hand. The two faced each other. Zhao Feiyang made a feint and then suddenly jumped the ball.

Swish.

A crisp three-pointer was scored steadily.

There was applause from the outside.

It's the Warriors' turn to attack.

Curry advanced with the ball, and the others ran towards the half court first. Wiggins, who was responsible for tracking LeBron, also caught up with LeBron at this time. He kept spouting nasty words at LeBron from the moment he came on the court.

"Hey, LeBron, am I sleepwalking or did you come here by mistake? How do I remember that you are a Lakers player?"

"Oh! Damn! I must be hallucinating... Maybe you're not LeBron, otherwise how could you join the Warriors that beat you?"

"It's incredible! This is the weirdest thing I've ever seen in my career! A superstar in the league joined the team that defeated him, the team that took away several championships from him... "

Wiggins' strange temper quickly aroused LeBron's discomfort. He tried his best to control his emotions, and while observing the conditions of his teammates, he counterattacked Wiggins, "Andrew! I know you are jealous of me, jealous that I can make the team trade You, but you don’t have to be like this, you can’t anger me..."

Wiggins laughed.

"LeBron, you are wrong! I didn't want to anger you! I just looked down on you. You should go to Hollywood..."
