Chapter 148: The Opening Battle

"Bang!"

The basketball hit the front of the hoop, but instead of popping out immediately, it bounced directly to the opposite back edge, and then rolled around the hoop quickly.

Tang Shuai's whole heart hung in his throat, and his body trembled unconsciously.

The basketball spun around in the hoop, didn't stop, and spun around again.

Tang Shuai felt that his throat was about to burst into flames.

The basketball spun another punch and finally came out of the basket.

Seeing that the ball finally turned out, Tang Shuai couldn't control a tremor of excitement, this was so thrilling!

"Congratulations to the master for defeating Sean Battier and getting the President's Defensive Pack (Weakened)/President's Triple Pack (Weakened), do you want to pick it up?"

At this moment, Xiao Luo's familiar prompt sound sounded in his ears.

President's Defensive Pack (Weakened Version): The Blue Skill Pack, which reduces the opponent's shooting rate by 6%~8% when facing a defender/forward with the same level skill pack by blindfolding, and 3%~4% when facing a defender/forward with a higher level.

This is a very different skill package from Ariza's defensive package, which not only regulates defensive movements, but also intuitively gives a limit on the shooting percentage, which is a very practical skill package.

Tang Shuai was still very excited, although it was only a blue skill pack, but this was a weakened version, which could be upgraded, and when it was upgraded, it was completely enough for him.

Novak's surprise offer solved his shortest defensive problem at once.

After the match, he had a meal with Battier and Novak, as well as Stephenson and Smith, and he threw himself into the arena, and now that he had so many weakened and upgradable skill packs in his hands, he was about to start training with his life.

6 o'clock in the morning to the stadium, 11 o'clock in the evening back to the villa, to the pillow is a big sleep, a week of hard training, better than expected, he successfully weakened the version of the roughly dreamy footsteps to the training, from the green skill pack to the blue skill pack, which made his whole person more confident.

When Xiao Luo told him that it was not so easy to upgrade the skill pack, he was still very worried, but this crazy training made him regain some confidence, and also let him take a good look at the matter of Wei Ping Bryant's hook bag.

It did take a lot of time to upgrade that white skill pack, but as a defender, he rarely used this in his usual training, let alone games, so in terms of the number of times, it was not much, and it was reasonable that the upgrade was so slow.

Fast forward to October 29, and after a long offseason, the Clippers finally ushered in their offseason opener.

A day earlier, the NBA league officially awarded the defending champion a championship ring at Oracle's home stadium, the home of the Golden State Warriors, a move that made the rest of the league envious, and they all wanted to do it with all their might.

The same is true for the Clippers, who have suffered some injuries before, but after a week's rest, Griffin is back from injury, and Stephenson's suspension is also lifted, so it can be said that they are full in this opening game.

The opener was played at home, and their opponent was the Kings.

The Sacramento Kings, affiliated with California, USA, its predecessor was the Rochester Royals, that was in the 50s, the team won one and only championship, and then the team fell into a long period of decline, until the 21st century, the team led by Princeton master Rick Adelman, by Chris Webb, Peja Stojakovic, Mike Bibe, Vlad Divac and other main force of the gorgeous division appeared, It has created a pleasing basketball feast in the league, and it is also the most impressive era in the memory of all Kings fans.

It's just that the gorgeous offense didn't bring the championship to the team, and when Peja was also traded to the Pacers, this gorgeous division has completely become the memory of fans, and the team has entered a new round of sinking, although in 2010, the potential inside DeMarcus Cousins was selected, and the strength of the outside line was traded, and the rookie season was 20+5+5 Tyrek Evans, but the team's boss Cousins is an extremely short-tempered player, and the team has never been able to improve. Completely reduced to a fish belly team.

This season, they have brought in All-Star point guard Rajon Rondo, three-point shooter Marco Belinelli, and selected potential interior Willie Cauley Stein, coach George Carr, but what kind of play will be unknown.

Playing against such a team and winning is obviously a goal that the Clippers must achieve.

This is Tang Shuai's official first NBA game, and he is also looking forward to it, so he came to the arena early to train.

Because of the Clippers' outstanding performance last season, coupled with the offseason recruitment, the attendance of the opening game was explosive, and the entire Staples Center was packed, with various banners and big-headed KT boards dotted in between, showing that the Clippers are a championship-level team.

The team's owner, Microsoft CEO and President Steve Ballmer, was also on the scene, the already bald billionaire who came to the scene whenever he had time after buying the Clippers from Scott for a whopping $2 billion last year, and is a complete basketball fan, and he will obviously not be absent from the opening game.

The lights on the scene went out, the blue lights flashed, the 3D projection onto the floor, and the images that filled the entire court were constantly changing, accompanied by the exciting music on the scene, the wonderful clips of Jordan Jr., Griffin and Paul appeared in the video one after another, volleyball-style blocking, violent slam dunk that exterminated humanity, and exquisite passes appeared alternately, and the whole stadium was enthusiastic.

By the very end of the video, the Los Angeles Clippers' logo was printed all over the floor.

The lights dimmed and then came back on, projecting onto the left half of the court.

There, with the exception of the first five tigers, the others were already standing in a row on both sides.

Somewhat different from the preseason, once you enter the regular season, only the starting five will enjoy the introduction of a live DJ.

Redick, Pierce, Jordan Jr., Griffin and Paul were introduced.

The players who were introduced clapped their hands one by one, and each player's appearance was accompanied by an exclusive piece of music and clips projected onto the court floor, which was very eye-catching.

The order of the players is determined according to the status of the team, and when Paul is the last to play, accompanied by the live DJ's very rendering and full of shouts at the end, the cheers of the fans on the scene suddenly reached a peak.

Tang Shuai stood on the side at this time, watching Paul enjoying heroic cheers, and couldn't help but look forward to when he would be able to meet the cries of the crowd like Paul on this field.

After the introduction of the players, after a brief warm-up of the players on both sides, the starting five tigers all stood on the court.
