NBA: I have 3, no D, and I can't dribble

In addition to the opening game between the Knicks and Celtics, the league also arranged two focus games on this day.

The Los Angeles Lakers are at home against the New Orleans Hornets of No. 2 pick Kevin Durant.

And the defending champion Timberwolves face the Seattle SuperSonics led by LeBron James and rookie No. 1 pick Greg Oden at their home target center.

Although the New Orleans Hornets lost Chris Paul, the team's scoring leader David West also has All-Star potential.

Also as a blue-collar representative of the 03 generation, David West was able to average 18.6 points and 8.5 rebounds per game last season. His mid-range jump shots are particularly accurate and he is called a 17-foot assassin.

In the original world, David West and Chris Paul began to show their prowess in the 07-08 season, directly helping the Hornets win the second place record in the Western Conference.

Paul also lost to Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers by a very narrow margin in the final competition for regular season MVP.

Many Pao fans also felt it was unfair for Chris Paul and believed that the regular season MVP that year should actually be awarded to 58 instead of the Black Mamba.

After all, after the Lakers introduced Gasol, the All-Star, their record was only one more win than the Hornets, while the Hornets jumped directly from last season's non-playoffs to second in the Western Conference.

There are no star-level figures on the team, and both Paul and West were selected to the All-Stars for the first time that season.

Although today's Hornets do not have Paul, they have gained the potential No. 2 Kevin Durant, as well as David West, Tyson Chandler and the three-point shooter Peja who has returned from injury. Stojakovic, and Rajon Rondo acquired from the Green Army.

As a result, the Hornets' starting five for the new season are expected to be:

Point Guard (PG): Rajon Rondo,

Shooting Guard (SG): Peja Stojakovic,

Small forward (SF): Kevin Durant,

Power forward (PF): David West,

Center (C): Tyson Chandler.

This lineup is still very good, even better than having Paul before, so regarding the shocking trade between the Green Army and the Hornets,

League experts and many fans believe that it is definitely a win-win situation.

As a time traveler, Lin Fei understands the horror of this new Hornets even more. After all, fans can only see that second-year Paul has a high ceiling in the future, but they can't see Rajon Rondo who just finished his rookie season. He also has extraordinary talent at point guard.

According to Lin Fei's speculation, as long as the Hornets can stabilize Rajon Rondo's playing time as the starting point guard in the new season, Rondo will surely be able to grow up quickly and bring even greater surprises to Hornets fans.

At the same time, as a talented second overall pick in history, Kevin Durant started his career with the Hornets.

With new and old backbones such as David West, Peja, "The King of Fighters" and Rondo, personal statistics and records will inevitably become higher, and maybe they will grow faster.

In ESPN's latest team strength rankings, although the New Orleans Hornets are only ranked 19th, in Lin Fei's view, even if the competition in the Western Conference is so fierce, the Hornets still have a chance to reach the playoffs in the new season. Chance,

It will even be the same as Huang Feng in the 07-08 season in the original world, with his record jumping directly to the forefront of the Western Conference.

Then the player on the team who can compete for the regular season MVP may be Kevin Durant, a super rookie.

Bill Gates' Seattle SuperSonics, while building the team around LeBron James and Greg Oden, also acquired immediate stars such as Jermaine O'Neal through trades. Although the prospects at the beginning of the new season are not It’s promising, but it’s also worth looking forward to.

On the opening day of the 07-08 season, the NBA officially teamed up with Sports Illustrated to launch the regular season MVP probability list for the new season.

With a huge advantage, Lin Fei ranks first on this list, ahead of Kevin Garnett, Kobe Bryant, Dirk Nowitzki and Steve Nash. .

Although Lin Fei was the regular season MVP shared with Nowitzki last season, his personal performance and statistics were comprehensively ahead of other stars, and could even be said to be the best in the league.

In the playoffs, the gap between Lin Fei and Dirk Nowitzki became even more obvious, until Lin Fei performed a miracle in the finals and finally won the second losing team FMVP in history.

Only then did fans and experts realize that Lin Fei is already the undisputed number one player in the league in terms of personal ability and team leadership.

"This year the Knicks joined Artest, and with the additional training of Marbury and Eddie Curry in the offseason, I feel that the overall strength of the team will definitely be improved. It can basically be said that it has already improved in the Eastern Conference. No more challenges!”

"As long as he is not injured, Fei Ge will definitely win the MVP again in the new season. No one can threaten his status!"

"I feel that the Lakers may surpass the Spurs and Mavericks in terms of strength in the new season. Kobe also has the opportunity to win the first regular season MVP in his career, but compared with Lin Fei, his chances are still smaller!"

"James is actually ranked in the top ten of the MVP list? Do you really think he can lead the SuperSonics into the playoffs? It seems that Nike's influence is still great!"

"If Fei Ge wins another regular season MVP this season, then his personal honors will be three championships, two regular season MVPs and two finals MVPs. His historical status will definitely be further improved. Think about it, it's fucking awesome! "

"Although I am not optimistic about James, I am still looking forward to Oden's performance in the new season. In addition, Jermaine O'Neal has also joined the SuperSonics, so even if there is no chance to reach the playoffs in the fiercely competitive Western Conference, the new season's Supersonic speed is definitely not too bad!”

"Compared to the SuperSonics, I am more optimistic about the Hornets and Celtics. The transaction between these two teams is really perfect, and the overall lineup of the team is also very balanced!"

"That's right. The Green Army with three Pauls is likely to rise rapidly in the Eastern Conference and become the Knicks' biggest rival besides the Magic and Wizards. Pierce will also have a chance to compete for the regular season MVP!"

"Isn't the opening game starting in a few hours? Then we will know how the Celtics' three-Paul lineup is going to be, but at the beginning, the chemistry between the three may not be that good. Everyone needs Let’s get closer to each other through the regular season!”

The opening game between the Knicks and Celtics started at 7 p.m., and Madison Square Garden was packed with people. Tickets for this opening game were also very expensive, but it did not affect the enthusiastic fans.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Lin Fei's sculpture stood brilliantly in the square outside Madison Square Garden, attracting many fans at home and abroad to take photos.

On the huge big screen outside the arena, video highlights of the Knicks' wonderful goals from last season were being played, once again bringing back passionate memories of the fans.

"The new season has finally begun. The Knicks are definitely the strongest contenders for the championship this year. I feel that Artest has completed the final piece of the puzzle for the Knicks to win the championship!"

"Although Artest's character is not great, he is really useful for the championship team. The small forward killer is well-deserved!"

"I haven't watched a game for more than four months from the end of June to now. I'm almost going crazy. I'm looking forward to the stars and the moon. Now the new season is finally here!"

"The days without NBA games to watch are really boring. If Lin Fei and the Knicks can really win the regular season MVP, finals MVP and championship Grand Slam this year, will his historical status be directly eliminated? Are you in the top five?" "You're only in the fifth season of your career, and you have a chance to hit the top five in history? Fei Ge is really unbelievable. You know, that old gangster Jordan didn't win the championship in the first seven seasons! "

"I heard that Fei Ge has been working hard on mid-range shooting this offseason. It seems that he has developed new skills in addition to three-pointers and layups. It's really exciting!"

"If Brother Fei can improve his mid-range shooting, wouldn't it mean that there are no blind spots in the offensive half? There is no way he can be restrained without two defenders!"

"I have a hunch that Fei Ge is very likely to score high points again in this year's opening game, and even break his personal scoring record of 78 points in a single game!"

"I feel like Fei Ge won't be able to score too high, because the Celtics lineup is still in the running-in period, and the three Pauls will most likely not perform very well. They may not be able to withstand it after the third quarter!"

Amid the enthusiastic discussions from the fans inside and outside the stadium, the referee also blew the whistle to start the game in the center of the stadium.

The New York Knicks' starting five are:

Point Guard (PG): Stephon Marbury,

Shooting guard (SG): Lin Fei,

Small forward (SF): Ron Artest,

Power Forward (PF): Zach Randolph,

Center (C): Eddie Curry.

With the arrival of Artest, Trevor Ariza also returned to the Knicks bench, plus Nate Robinson, Quentin Richardson, David Lee and the newly signed "Actor" "Varejo,

The Knicks' overall lineup depth has been significantly improved compared to last season.

Sun Yue, an Asian-faced person who is also sitting on the bench, has also received great love from the seniors in this team. After all, Sun Yue is a fellow member of Lin Fei, the eldest member of the Chinese team. With this kind of relationship, his teammates and the Knicks The coaching staff naturally dare not ignore it.

Head coach Isaiah Thomas even stated at the pre-game press conference that Sun Yue would be allowed to play for more than 15 minutes tonight, fully meeting the expectations of fans at home and abroad.

Sun Yue is now wearing the Knicks' No. 9 jersey. In 6 preseason games, he averaged 20 minutes per game, scoring 5.2 points and 3 assists.

Because of Aiwujiwu, many New York fans also have very high expectations for the rookie Sun Yue. Tonight, some fans can be found wearing the rookie's No. 9 jersey in the audience seats.

If Dayao and Lin Fei had not succeeded in the NBA and generally established themselves, many foreign fans would have always been biased against Chinese players, believing that their talent in the NBA would never be as good as that of blacks and whites.

But now, with Lin Fei's historic performance in the NBA, those loyal fans no longer dare to look down on Chinese players, and even have certain expectations for this year's two Chinese rookies, Ah Lian and Sun Yue. .

The starting five for the Boston Celtics are:

Point Guard (PG): Chris Paul,

Shooting Guard (SG): Tony Allen,

Small forward (SF): Paul Pierce,

Power Forward (PF): Pau Gasol,

Center (C): Kentrick Perkins.

Tony Allen played for the Warriors last season and came to the Celtics in a trade. He was directly put into the starting lineup by Doc Rivers and entrusted with important tasks.

In front of the courtside commentary desk, Mike Breen and Jeff Van Gundy are responsible for commentating tonight's game.

"The Green Army's starting five look really good, and the combination is very reasonable. I wonder if Paul Pierce, Gasol and Chriss can create enough sparks!"

"Pierce averaged 25 points per game, Pau Gasol had 21 points and 9 rebounds, and Chris Paul had 17 points and 9 assists. These three guys have quite a lot of potential as a team!"

"But I believe what the fans are most looking forward to tonight is Lin's performance in the opening game of the new season. You must know that in the opening games of the past three seasons, Lin has had very explosive statistics. In the opening game of last season He even scored the highest 69 points in a single game in the history of the opening game!"

"What's more, Lin's loyal fans already know that he started to practice more mid-range shooting this offseason. During the warm-up period before the game, we also saw Lin's mid-range performance, so tonight Lin can play in the mid-range. How many points you can score is also a hot spot in this game!”

After the training bonus throughout the offseason, Lin Fei's mid-range shooting attribute has now been improved to 73 points. It is not very sure, but it is enough to destroy the opponent's magic ball defense system.

If the defender continues to tightly defend the basket and outside, and chooses to let go of Lin Fei's mid-range to a certain extent, then Lin Fei will inevitably use his increasingly accurate mid-range shots to punish the enemy.

Sure enough, as soon as the Knicks came up, when Eddie Curry successfully jumped the ball, Marbury brought the ball to the frontcourt. Lin Fei used the pick-and-roll to cut to the basket, attracting a sudden retracement from the defense.

Near the left free throw line area, he borrowed another off-ball screen from Zach Randolph, received Marbury's pass, opened up enough distance for Paul Pierce, and quickly jumped up and shot near the 18-foot midfielder. Distance jump shot.

"Shh!"

The basketball flew through the void and turned into a shooting star and hit the net.

Knicks (2): (0) Celtics.

When Lin Fei came up, he made a mid-range shot from the ball behind a screen, and Madison Square Garden instantly burst into cheers.

"Haha, it seems that Lin has really perfected his mid-range shooting. There is no blind spot in the offensive half. Isn't this incredible? The Green Army must be in trouble tonight!" (End of Chapter)
