Chapter 112 The opening battle begins!
Detroit Pistons.

Last season's defending champions swept the Lakers' F4 team 1-4.

The handcheck rule has been cancelled by the alliance.

This has some impact on the Pistons, but the outside world is still more optimistic that the Pistons, as the defending champions, can defend their title again.

Indiana Pacers.

A strong team in the Eastern Conference Finals last season, although they were eliminated by the Pistons.

But the team also made reinforcements during the offseason, bringing in "Martial Saint" Stephen Jackson and "The Glove" Gary Payton.

Before what happened at the Palace of Auburn Hills, the Pacers were seen by outsiders as the team with the best chance of defeating the Pistons in the Eastern Conference.

With the addition of Payton, the outside world is more optimistic about this Pacers team.

Miami Heat.

After the Sharks moved east, the Heat became a team that cannot be underestimated.

Wade has grown further in his sophomore year, and the Sharks are still at the tail end of their peak. The team also has "Pippen's successor" Eddie Jones, the former All-Star small forward.

The strength of the entire team is also the best in the Eastern Conference.

Philadelphia 76ers.

Although this team, in addition to Iverson, future famous players such as Korver and Iguodala are still in the process of training.

But one Iverson is enough!

Although the team's lineup on paper is not top-notch, no one dares to underestimate the 76ers.

The Celtics' games in November can definitely be considered a devil's schedule to some extent.

Lin Yu didn't care about the comments from the outside world.

For him, there are some things he has already gotten used to.

More attention means more criticism.

What's more, he was already at the center of the storm at this moment.

Bang!

Bang!

The crisp sound of blacksmithing was heard. Lin Yu looked over and saw Tony starting to forge iron.

Regarding Tony's shooting, Lin Yu could only say, let's talk about defense!

Coach Lue then joked: "Tony, your shot is no worse than Shaq's in my opinion."

TMD...

Did the Shark have a shot!?
Tony's face suddenly darkened when he heard Coach Lu's ridicule.

"I will be able to practice shooting sooner or later. I shot very accurately during my NCAA period. It was the weight gain in the summer that affected my touch."

"Yes, that's right. After Lin gained weight, his touch was also affected. When I recover, I can also become a sharpshooter!"

marksman……

Looking at Tony with a confident look on his face, Lin Yu really wanted to say something.

Throughout your career, you have never been labeled as a sharpshooter.

Considering that they are old teammates after all, Lin Yu decided to give Tony some face.

But the others were not as enthusiastic as Lin Ji and started to tease Tony unscrupulously.

"Tony, accept your fate! Not everyone's script belongs to Lin Yu!"

"Tony, I believe you have the heart of a sharpshooter, but I don't believe you have the talent of a sharpshooter."

"I think you might not be as good as Shaq. After all, Shaq's three-point shooting rate in actual combat is 100%, and it's always a buzzer beater!"

It's no exaggeration to say that the Shark's three-point buzzer-beater was a fluke.

Seeing Tony being teased, Rivers didn't say much.

There were a lot of rumors from the outside world, but the Celtics were having a great time at this time, proving that they were not affected by the outside world. Rivers was relieved to see this.

Without thinking too much, he continued to study the Celtics' tactics for the new season with the Cardinal.

11 month 2 day.

NBA 2004-05 season opening game. There are three opening games in this season.

Celtics vs. Cavaliers.

Lakers vs. Rockets.

The Pistons vs. the Heat.

The most eye-catching game here is naturally the match between the Celtics and the Cavaliers.

After all, this is Lin Yu’s first NBA game!

Everyone wants to know about Lin Yu, the FIBA ​​superstar who led his team to defeat the Dream Team.

What kind of performance can we achieve in this game!
Boston Airport.

James got off the plane and got on the bus to the hotel.

Looking at Lin Yu's poster hanging on the tall building outside the window, James' eyes flashed with fighting spirit and confidence.

In addition to the Dream Team issue, James was also under pressure from the hook at this time.

Lin Yu's actions caused the stock price to hit the limit down, and the company was also labeled as "racial queer".

If Gouzi said he didn't hate Lin Yu, probably no one would believe him.

The hot sales of Lin Yu's signature sneakers, 'Choice 1 Glory', also made Hook a little apprehensive.

Although the pre-sale has not yet grown to 30 at this time, it should be clear that this is only Lin Yu’s first pair of sneakers!

The hook is now spending more energy on whitewashing himself, so the media doesn't have much chance to discredit Lin Yu's signature sneakers.

But the decision can be attacked in other ways.

For example, the stadium!

No matter what kind of sneaker contract is given to the players, it always depends on their performance on the court.

Lin Yu was able to sell 25 sneakers, and the sales are still growing, all thanks to the popularity he gained from his performance on the court.

Whether in the NCAA period or the Olympics, Lin Yu's performance was impeccable.

But in the NBA, it’s hard to say!
The idea of ​​the hook is also simple.

Aren’t you questioning why the contract I gave you was too low?

I gave a player with a big contract to beat you, what else do you have to question?
A-di: Yes, I thought so too!
If a player always loses, will his shoes still sell well?

will not!

And James has become the most suitable candidate at the moment.

James is also full of confidence in defeating Lin Yu.

After all, according to the media, the Cavaliers are stronger than the Celtics.

And Lin Yu may not be able to adapt to NBA rules!

Big Z sighed at this time: "I can't wait to play against Lin Yu. The last player who caused half of the league to slack off and was highly anticipated to enter the league was Tim Duncan!"

"No, Duncan was not as popular as Lin is now. Although Duncan was the No. 1 pick, he did not defeat the Dream Team in the Olympics!"

Eric Snow's words made everyone nod.

Lin Yu can be said to be the most watched rookie in NBA history!

none of them.

The bus did not arrive at North Shore Garden immediately. Since the opening game was to start at 8 p.m., everyone went to the hotel to rest first.

After night fell, the bus started again, carrying the Cavaliers to North Shore Gardens.

After getting off the bus, I saw that the entrance of North Bank Garden was filled with TV station broadcast vehicles.

Big Z sighed: "Is this the end of the NBA Finals?!"

Eric Snow nodded and said, "The last time we played the Lakers in the finals, there were only so many broadcast trucks at the Staples Center."

Cavaliers head coach Paul Silas said, "After all, he is the most watched rookie, and today's broadcast will be broadcast live across the United States! You must perform well! Let's enter now!"

The Cavaliers players nodded and followed Paul Silas into the North Shore Garden.
