Chapter 185: First Strike, Cheers from the Bay Area!
On the second day, the league started 12 games in one go, and with the addition of the six teams in the opening game, only the newly formed Bobcats were left in the league without a game. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The first game of the Warriors' 04-05 season opener was against the Portland Trail Blazers.
Before leaving, Nancy looked at his wife who was on the expedition, helping Yang Di sort out his clothes, and her eyes were full of tenderness.
The grand San Francisco Bay Area, fans have waited too long, although the Warriors are not a league giant, and many people still take it as an object of faith, after all, this team has too glorious history and past, and there have been too many celebrities and stars.
The darkness is only temporary, and the fans will always be the most confident.
A large number of Chinese fans came to the scene, some from Oakland, some from San Francisco across the river, and some even from Los Angeles, who drove for five or six hours to watch Yang Di's first game.
At this time, the lineup of players left behind after the Heat's training camp.
Point guards: Derek Fisher, Luce Flores,
Shooting guards: Jason Richardson, Michael Petrus,
Small forwards: Mike Dunleavy, Edondo Nahoola, Calbert Channey,
Power forwards: Troy Murphy, Clifford Robinson, Suan Sesey,
Centre-forwards: Jandy, Alarardo Foyer, Dale Davis, Andres Biedrins.
Arena, in the locker room.
The wrinkled-looking Montgomery was radiant and energetic today, and he was here to give a loud pre-game speech and mobilization – something he often did when he was a coach in college.
"The Trail Blazers had a similar record to ours last season, and they moved less than all of us in the offseason."
The crowd laughed.
"But the hateful Portlanders have poached our "madman", which is unbearable, we are all poor brothers who are miserable, why should we hurt each other? ”
"Didn't the madman go on his own?" Yang Di asked Fisher seriously.
Fisher made a shushing gesture and motioned for Yang Di not to interject.
"Listen, outside the door is the cheers of the Bay Area fans, they are here for you, we are different, we are the new Warriors, no one can go wild on our doorstep, no one can easily take the victory from this land I love so much, no one!"
Montgomery waved his arms impassionedly, and when he saw Richardson take the lead in roaring, he nodded with satisfaction, just this kind of momentum.
Then he cleared his throat, "I'll talk about tonight's starting lineup." ”
"Derrick [Fisher], you're going to be our point guard, Damon Stodemar you've played against him a few times, it's up to you to limit him. Jason (Richardson), the shooting guard, the team is up to you to score, and you're just one thing on the court, giving me the ball in that damn frame. Mike (Dunleavy), any of yours is the same as Jason, you're our outside heavy artillery, give me a few hard shots at the Portlanders! ”
"Troy (Murphy), Portland's Fat Black Man (Randolph) is much shorter than you, try to use your height to limit him, limit him, and we're halfway through the game."
Montgomery said for a long time, and then finally shifted his gaze to Yang Di, who was sitting quietly in front of the locker.
"Yang."
"You're our starting center tonight!"
"First of all, congratulations, your first career start." After speaking, Richardson took the lead in applauding, the whole Warriors team high-fived happily, and Foyer also reached out on the side, Yang Di smiled embarrassedly, and high-fived Foyer with his backhand.
"You're our framekeeper, and I need you to protect the basket. We've all seen your strong rebounding ability, terrifying defensive skills, and unfailing enthusiasm and fighting spirit, there are a lot of Chinese in the Bay Area, don't let them leave disappointed tonight......"
Yang Di stood up solemnly and patted his chest to show that he was ready.
Montgomery said a few last words, and everyone folded their hands together, and then, at Montgomery's call, three-two-one fell heavily and swarmed out of the locker room.
Yang Di took off his training jacket, revealing a white warrior jersey, with the huge logo of "WARRIORS" printed on his chest, the No. 8 Arab jersey number at the bottom right, the orange and red stripes on both sides are the most popular collocation, and the short black edging shows a grassroots banditry.
......
The stadium, which can accommodate more than 17,000 fans, was buzzing with people, and when the time was up, the players from both sides entered and the DJ began to introduce the starting points of both sides.
First of all, the visiting Trail Blazers, the DJ's voice was deliberately small, and they were almost suppressed by the voices, and the sparse applause proved that the current Trail Blazers team has no appeal in the league. After all, it's not the same team that competed with the gods of basketball more than a decade ago, and since the gliders have grown old, they have been the forgotten on the fringes of the league.
After the Trail Blazers' first introduction, the DJ's pitch suddenly rose, and the mechanical heavy metal music suddenly sounded, and then all the Warriors fans stood up, thunderous applause, and cheers were endless.
"First of all, let's welcome, from Little Rock, Arkansas, 0.4 lore, big heart, six feet one inch of Derek ~Fei ~ Scheer~~"
The new signing Fisher was cheered on by the crowd and welcomed by the fans, as he made his first appearance in the team and his status in the team was high.
After Fisher, it was Yang Di.
Yang Di's heart suddenly fluttered wildly, his face was slightly red, and the roots of his ears were red.
"Let's welcome, from China, a six-foot-nine-inch meteorite belt, a super defender, super ~Yang~Di~~!"
Yang Di stood up from the bench, a beam of light hit him, the big screen gave him a close-up of his face, and the audience erupted in applause, cheers and screams like a tsunami, and the sound was significantly higher than when Fisher appeared just now.
Fisher smiled wryly, sure enough, there were many Chinese in San Francisco.
In the noisy cheers, Yang Di seemed to hear the screams in Chinese, probably the girl's "Yang Di, I love you" words, which caught him a little off guard, and the sudden Bay Area cheers showed his super popularity in this area, but he hadn't even played a game.
Contrary to last season's exhaustion in Miami and not being recognized by the fans, Yang Di's heart is hot, and a smile appears on his face, he likes it here.
Then there were Dunleavy, Murphy and Richardson who came out at the end, but even Richardson, the cheers he got were about the same as Yang Di's, I don't know if maybe the fans could only make such a loud noise.
