Chapter 272: New Formation "Dividends"

October 30, 2007, 7 p.m. PT, San Antonio.

The regular season of the new NBA season has officially begun.

As is customary in previous years, the opening game of the regular season will still be played by last season's championship team against one of the worst teams of the new season.

This year, the two sides in the opening game were the San Antonio Spurs, who just swept the Cavaliers in June to win the championship, and the Portland Trail Blazers, who finished 32-50 last season and ranked 12th in the West, but were lucky enough to get the top pick.

Generally speaking, the opening game will not be too attractive, everyone look at the style of the championship team in the new season, see how they abuse the vegetables, and shout twice for the poor underdog.

However, this game attracted a lot of attention before the game.

The reason is simple, in a word:

Greg Oden vs Tim Duncan.

One is known as a combination of Duncan and the Shark before he ran for the election, the next inside monster, the super champion of the NBA interior hegemon in the next decade, and the other is the old generation of interior overlords who have ruled the league for many years, and the opponents have changed back and forth, but they are still strong.

The significance of this duel was over-interpreted by countless experts before the game, and fans were also very excited, eager to see what kind of sparks these two players would have.

But to put it bluntly, in the final analysis, this game is the champion 10 years ago, to teach the champion 10 years later to be a man.

In the eyes of fans all over the world, the game finally lasted two and a half hours and ended smoothly.

Defending champions Spurs at home. 106-108, lost to the Trail Blazers.

The world was shocked!

"It's just the first regular season, the players are still adjusting, and the Spurs have always been slow to heat up!"

Such a statement was on the lips of countless Spurs fans at the moment of the end of the game, and the neutral fans who began to search for game-related comments because of shock for the first time thought about this sentence carefully. There is some truth to it.

What about the data? Are Spurs doing rotation again? Did Popovich start to hide his strength again, and what did he do in the second half of the season?

Fans who didn't watch the live broadcast of the game started looking around for technical stats, only to be dumbfounded.

Tim Duncan finished with 24 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 block and 6 frontcourt rebounds on 10-of-15 shooting.

Tony Parker finished with 19 points and 5 rebounds on 7-of-14 shooting, continuing the FMVP-level offensive firepower in the Finals.

Ginobili came off the bench with 16 points, 3 rebounds, 8 assists and 5 steals.

This kind of performance, for GDP, is not considered soy sauce, right??

Spurs look. It seems that he has used his real skills......!

Why would such a Spurs lose? Is it the Pioneer that someone has exploded? Could it be the champion show Oden?

Everyone looked down and found the data statistics of the pioneers, and the more they looked at it, the tighter their brows wrinkled.

Greg Oden, 4-of-5 shooting, 13 points, 14 rebounds and 3 blocks, this statistic...... It doesn't seem to be so "explosive".

What about the others?

Aldridge, the handsome young man who played against Duncan in the whole game, has been compared to Roy, a newcomer last season, in the team. Even Oden, the champion who just came to the team in the new season, is more famous than him.

As a result, Aldridge scored a game-high 27 points on 12-of-19 shooting from the field to Duncan's head.

Brandon Roy was pretty bad, shooting just 2-of-10 from the field. 7 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 turnovers, however, he made a difficult quasi-kill.

Also, Jack. Webster, Outlaw, Blake. Pulssbilla, Channing Frye, also played decently.

Aside from the fact that Aldridge may have some preferences, the Trail Blazers seem to be playing ...... Not too exaggerated.

They were a real game to beat the mighty Spurs in 48 minutes.

In the post-match press conference, Popovich said the same.

The first day of play continued, at 9:30 a.m., Los Angeles, the Lakers hosted the Rockets.

When it was almost 12 o'clock, the game was over, and the Lakers beat the Rockets 112-99.

Maddie is old.

All Rockets fans watching the game on TV felt this way after the game.

15 points on 6-of-17 shooting, the former scoring champion, couldn't fly at all.

Yao Ming was in good shape, facing the Lakers' three-high full-court encirclement and suppression, and handed over the data of 25 points on 9-of-15 shooting. But the addition of Gasol brings too much tactical significance to the Lakers. Bynum and Yao Ming fought hand-to-hand under the basket, and Yao Ming hit the ground looking for teeth, Gasol was like a fish in water in the middle distance, and the Lakers scored 20 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks in their debut, shining Staples.

Kobe Bryant is still a bull, scoring 31 points in the game, and his firepower has not diminished at all. Odom accepted the position of the sixth man and led the bench to play vigorously, and the Lakers did not seem to have the so-called run-in problem at all, and they were at their best and full of firepower.

The two teams, one who won last year's championship and the other who were no longer the heroes of the past, are now in completely different shapes in their respective openers.

The West, is it going to change?

The first week of the new NBA season confirmed this point.

The Spurs were brave and won two in a row after losing the opening game. The Lakers have won all three games, and they are in the limelight. The new lineup of the rivals Suns in the same district is breathtaking, winning all four games and scoring more than 110 points.

The Lakers, the Suns, and the West in the new season may be the world of these two teams.

The situation on the Mavericks' side is really not good, 1-2 in the first three games of the season, Kidd and the team have always been a little out of place, and after having a reliable organizer, the Mavericks who have been crazy all the time seem to not be able to play.

After the big trade, the three traditional powerhouses in the west are facing a completely different situation.

On the eastern side, the Big Three Celtics have won all three games.

In the preseason, the problem of jerky on the offensive end was not completely solved in the regular season, and in the game, it is not uncommon to see the Big Three holding the ball alone. Rondo, the point guard who had high hopes, was a little lost, and the team's offensive operation was very problematic.

But the Celtics' defense is too strong.

Rondo, Garnett, and Perkins in the starting line are all defensive gates. Neither Ray Allen nor Pierce had much of a problem with individual defenses.

On the bench, Posey, Tony Allen, Leon Bowe, and PJ Brown are also good defenders. In the opening three games of the season, the Celtics' opponents scored 83, 95, and 93 points, respectively.

It seems that the opponents' scoring statistics in these three games are not too bad, but a closer look at the schedule will show you. These three opponents are the Wizards with explosive firepower on the outside, the Raptors with many international column scorers, and the Nuggets with the golden double guns and a group of scoring giants.

And that's not all.

About 10 days later, the Celtics finished their first two weeks of play and won eight in a row.

The Hawks, who got All-Star point guard Bibby, scored just 83 points in Boston. New Jersey did not perform well at home, scoring 99 points. It was followed by Indiana with 86 points. After that, he returned to his home stadium to take on the challenge of New Jersey again.

48 minutes of play. The Nets, who had just sent away Kidd and got Harris, the team's scorer and offensive pace, had improved their offensive speed with 69 points.

"New Jersey Nets. Completely destroyed by Boston. ”

After the game, this is how the media described the game.

Destroy.

The Celtic Big Three, plus a bunch of cannibalistic bandits who don't spit out bones, destroyed the seven opponents they faced after the start of the season. Win all 8 battles.

Meanwhile, the Western Lakers played 10 games with 8 wins and 2 losses. The Suns played 11 games. Win all.

Another all-out victory.

What kind of terrible record competition will there be in the NBA regular season this season?

All the fans went crazy.

It's only been less than three weeks since the start of the game, and several teams after the big trade have already contributed such terrifying performances, and this year's NBA seems to be very, very good.

Philadelphia.

"Toot!"

At the end of the game, the 76ers, with a new lineup, won 104-88 at home against the Chicago Bulls.

"Again, again, again...... Won again, hahaha!! ”

The fans celebrated, all of them got up from their seats, and frantically high-fived and celebrated with people they knew and didn't know.

It was November 17, 2007, and as of that date, the 76ers had played nine games of the new season, with a record of ......

"9 wins in a row! Philadelphia 76ers started the season with nine straight wins!! ”

In the media gallery on the sidelines, reporter Justin couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart and stood up and cheered wildly.

In the seat in front of him, Gersner's face was pale, he was stunned for a long time without saying a word, got up and didn't say hello to anyone, and left the court like this.

Yes, when a group of super giants began to soar in their records, in the corner where no one paid attention, the Philadelphia 76ers, who did not get any national live broadcast treatment and had just replaced their main point guard, won all 9 games.

Although the strength of the opponent is indeed not good, it is about a good character, the 76ers, who experienced the devil's road trip at the beginning of last season, have a fairly easy start to the new season, with 6 home games in 9 games, and no back-to-back.

However, 9 consecutive wins, this is not a record that any team can get!

So far, the 76ers have not had a winning rate of more than 50% among their opponents, either a team that has been a weak team for many years, or a team that is in the rebuilding period, and if they are the strongest players in the East and West, winning 9 consecutive wins will be as simple as eating.

But this is the 76ers, the Philadelphia 76ers who don't have a superstar, no attackers, and a very young lineup.

After this game, the 76ers quietly climbed to the ......

First in the East.

Behind him are the Big Three Celtics, the Detroit Pistons who are still F4, and the little emperor and his knights who have fully evolved again.

The lineup "bonus" at the beginning of the new season came so quickly and so unreal, which made Chen Mu a little dizzy.

"This season, is it ......"

Shaking his head, not thinking about these things that were too far away, Chen Mu calmed down and clearly positioned the true strength of the team today.

Let's talk about the playoffs first!

Also, I'm going to ...... for a while!

Chen Mu got up and went to the press conference with his teammates.

In 9 games, Chen Mu played an average of 37 minutes per game, with 22 points, 14 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks.

Who is the number one striker in the East......? (To be continued......)
