This Forward is Not Serious

…

96 to 81, the Suns finally defeated the Nuggets on the night of the awards ceremony.

The game was not as easy as the score showed.

Because Stoudemire still needed time to adapt to the new style of play and performed poorly, the Nuggets and the Suns were locked in the score in the first three quarters.

It wasn't until the last quarter that the Nuggets were pulled apart by the Suns because there was no critical moment scorer on the field.

That's right, Anthony was benched by Barnes in the last quarter!

Anthony lost his temper, and after he was replaced, he kept taking the ball alone. In addition, his efficiency was not high under Lin Ying's defense, and Barnes simply didn't trust him.

According to the statistics after the game, Lin Ying of the Suns scored 24 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks, Nash had 16 points and 11 assists, and Stoudemire had 14 points and 13 rebounds.

For the Nuggets, Jamison scored 23 points, Billups had 13 points and 9 assists, and Anthony only played 25 minutes, with 15 points and 3 rebounds.

This should be Anthony's worst opening game of the new season since entering the NBA.

Moreover, being blocked by the basket and being DNP in the fourth quarter, there are too many shortcomings.

So after this game is over, the result of the game becomes not that important.

Fans were already discussing the issue on social media after the game.

"Rick Barnes will be the fastest coach to be fired in the NBA."

"Denver's management really made the stupidest decision. They were completely forcing Anthony to leave."

"This tells us the difference between the NCAA and the NBA. NBA players are not a group that can be exploited as much as the NCAA."

"Does anyone pay attention to me, Emperor Lin? Is there no need to adapt to changing positions?"

"I am the King of Society, Lin. I think Anthony was blocked and was blocked by the basket!"

"Haha, now I know why James changed to point guard!"

…

Not only fans are discussing it, but even ESPN reported this matter.

As soon as the new season begins, there are hot events.

But what is unexpected is that the Nuggets did not make any sound.

This suddenly makes people think too much.

Because not speaking out is acquiescence in a sense!

If Barnes is the voice of the management, then this can escalate to a confrontation between the management and the players.

From James' decision to Anthony's being hidden, the current tense relationship between labor and management is highlighted.

This has to make people worry, because the old labor agreement is about to expire this summer. If the two sides negotiate in this relationship, it is likely to trigger a new round of lockout.

However, after the first three days of the game, the media and fans paid no attention to this matter.

It’s not that the heat has passed, but the new season is too “chaotic”!

Next door in Salt Lake City, Boozer left and Al Jefferson was not traded as in history, and the team's internal strength was greatly damaged.

But what people didn't expect was that the Jazz defeated the Rockets in their first game!

Deron scored 42 points and 11 assists in a single game, directly beating the opponent's Aaron Brooks to doubt his life.

It was at this time that fans suddenly discovered that Deron's scoring talent seemed to have been blocked by the Jazz's offensive system.

And this is just an appetizer!

In the next day's game, the Thunder directly overturned the Lakers 118 to 113!

Durant scored 44 points, Westbrook scored a triple-double of 20 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, plus Harden contributed 21 points on the bench.

If you still have a lot of regrets about the reversal of this youth army last season, then the new season is here to fill this regret for you!

And Durant's words after the game also showed his character.

"I don't care what the outside world thinks of me. I just want the championship now. Lin said that someone is always going to win. Why can't it be me this time?"

Of course, this is not the most exciting thing. The most exciting thing is undoubtedly a seemingly unremarkable regular season game in the East: Bulls VS Knicks!

The Knicks' Big Three skipped the preseason and entered the new season with a record of seven wins.

As a result, they overturned in the first game!

The Bulls handed the Big Three their first defeat 98-88!

Bulls: Rose had 30 points and 5 assists, Luol Deng had 18 points and 3 assists, Boozer had 12 points and 10 rebounds, and Noah had 11 points and 8 rebounds.

Knicks: James had 26 points, 8 rebounds and 11 assists, Wade had 20 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists, Bosh had 23 points and 5 rebounds, Chandler had 11 points, and Gallinari had 7 points.

If you just look at the data, you can't tell how this game ended up like this.

But after watching the game, you will find that the Bulls are amazing.

They played a suffocating and targeted defense that completely strangled the Knicks' role players.

Of course, the most amazing thing is Rose.

This third-year player, who performed poorly at the just-concluded World Championships in Turkey, played an almost unsolvable performance.

The Knicks couldn't stop him on the outside, and they were riddled with holes inside.

Then the other two exciting games that ended on the same day were not so attention-grabbing.

In one game, Griffin contributed 20 points, 14 rebounds and 4 assists in his NBA debut, and in the other game, the Mavericks defeated the Spurs 107-93.

After watching these three days of games, fans have only two feelings. One is chaos and a chaotic dance of demons.

Deron, Rose, Durant, these stars who were not in the first tier last season, started to go wild at the beginning of this season.

Coupled with various upsets, you thought the Knicks had locked in the championship. This mess tells you the difference between reality and theory!

The second type is the replacement of talents. Talents emerge from generation to generation.

The four major shooting guards have gradually withered away, and only Kobe is still standing strong. However, in addition to the 2003 generation, supernovas such as Lin Ying, Rose, Durant, Westbrook, and Griffin have also begun to rise.

After the Lakers were pulled off the throne by the Suns, the league entered the next period of talent explosion.

Moreover, these supernovas are still in capable teams, which makes the prospects for the new season even more confusing.

And that's not the end.

After half a month of competition, the rankings of the East and West are surprising.

The Bulls are ranked first in the East, and the Mavericks are ranked first in the West!

Only then did the fans realize that the so-called Bulls defeating the Knicks was not an upset at all, it was really strong!

The Mavericks can be said to be really surprising. They have climbed to the first position over the Suns and Lakers, the two hottest teams in the Western Conference.

And achieving this has a lot to do with the defense of both teams.

Former Rockets assistant and new Bulls head coach Thibodeau brought an iron-blooded defensive system to the Bulls, and Chandler became Dallas' interior Optimus Prime.

Rockets fans: I wonder why the team can’t defend well in the new season!

Bobcat fans: Is it too late for me to return Dampier to you? !

And Nowitzki's words in a post-game interview revealed another reason why the Mavericks have such a record.

“They gave us a huge morale boost.”

They here naturally refer to the Suns.

After a group of old boys succeeded in pursuing their dreams, how could they not inspire another group of old boys!

And compared with the Suns, Nowitzki, Terry, Marion, Peja, these old guys are truly old boys!

Butler didn't go to Dallas and couldn't sacrifice himself to give him a spiritual boost? The Suns' championship had the same effect!

But the Suns, which inspired them, are in trouble in the new season.

Because of the change in playing style, Stoudemire's opening game showed that he needs time to adapt, and it is unknown whether he can improve.

Then it was at this time that Nash also encountered the biggest setback in his life off the court.

He and his wife are divorced!

And this divorce happened on the day his son was born.

This directly put Nash at the top of the list of hot searches on social media.

The news that Lin Ying had heard before began to appear one after another.

Version 1: Barbossa cheated on Nash's wife and gave birth to a black child;

Version 2: Quentin Richardson cheated on Nash’s wife and gave birth to a black child;

Version 3: Nash committed violence against his wife, who could not bear it and filed for divorce;

Version 4: Nash had an affair with a young model 16 years younger than him;

Version 5:…

There are endless reports from gossip media including TMZ.

You must know that this kind of gossip is the favorite of these media.

Back then, Malone molested Kobe’s wife and Parker molested Barry’s wife. In the future, Fisher will also molest Matt Barnes’s wife...

Don’t fans just love watching this kind of “Friendly Wife Gate”!

Lin Ying unconsciously thought of the day they watched football together, and then Nash's wife went out to do her hair.

Barbosa was watching the game with them at that time!

But Nash, the protagonist of the incident, kept it secret and was filled with worries when he was on the team for the first time.

It is said that players must learn to block the sound of the outside world, but it is really difficult to block this kind of sound.

Nash finally took a leave of absence from the team.

He successively posted photos with Barbosa and Richardson on social media, breaking some rumors similar to the "Friendly Wives Gate".

And in fact, those rumors are quite untrue, because going back in time, Nash's wife must have been pregnant for several months since the last time she had her hair done.

Even if foreigners like to have fun, they won't make fun of the baby in their belly.

In contrast, Nash is more likely to be unable to control his lower body.

After all, Bill Gates can attack his subordinates.

But what the truth of this matter is is actually not that important anymore, because he did bring a lot of negative pressure to Nash.

Let’s not talk about the spiritual aspect, just there are many things.

Divorce is not the same concept as Lin Ying's breakup. It involves a series of things such as property division and child support.

Of course, it also brought a greater dilemma to the Suns.

Stoudemire was originally struggling to adjust his style of play, and now Nash has asked for leave again. This means that only Lin Ying is left among the Phoenix Big Three!

To put it in a very realistic way, the sun needs Lin Ying more than ever before!

Of course, this will also be a huge test for Lin Ying.

Because he is currently transforming his style of play. The previous method of using defense to drive offense was very effective, but now he has to become the first main point of attack as a small forward. It is completely unknown what kind of performance he can perform.

The Suns' next opponent is the Utah Jazz.

The Jazz, in addition to Deron, who is in explosive form in the new season, also has Kirilenko, who is personally called "AK47" and can play 5*5. He plays small forward.

It sounds a little inappropriate to say it, but Nash really picked a good time to do this!

The only good news is that this game is at home, which will give them a little more preparation time.

No, Lin Ying and Allen were squatting in the video room watching videos again today.

Lin Ying watched Kirilenko's, and Allen watched Delong's.

As for why we have to watch the video all the time, it's not that they were poorly prepared for past games, but that the players have ups and downs and some technical changes.

The simplest example is when the Suns played against the Nuggets.

If you watch the preseason video, Anthony will not be so uncomfortable or even difficult when facing off against Lin Ying.

After reading it, both of them looked not very good.

Heavy point guards like Deron are the hardest for him to guard, which is why Paul is suppressed by Deron every time.

Moreover, Delong's skills are exquisite. The drag step change (change of direction in front of the body with an obvious pause) and the emergency stop in the middle distance are both his trump cards.

As for Lin Ying, he had already seen how fierce Kirilenko was when he was with the Nuggets.

A super assisting defense monster, a super wingspan monster, and a super shot blocker. According to 2K, it is a defensive monster that lights up almost all defensive badges.

…

That night, the occupancy rate at the American Airlines Center exceeded 90%.

Although the team's performance at the start of the new season was average and Nash was absent again, this did not reduce the enthusiasm of the fans.

As the defending champion, and one who won the championship under difficult circumstances like last season, fans said that the situation in front of them was trivial.

One of the more interesting scenes before the game was that during the warm-up, Deron stopped and looked up at the Suns' championship banner for a long time.

Speaking of which, Deron is also an unlucky kid. His senior Stockton followed Malone and played a supporting role for Jordan in the Finals, and then he and Boozer played a supporting role for Kobe Bryant in the Western Conference.

Now it's okay, Boozer is still running away, and he is the only one left with the double evil, becoming a single evil.

Especially this season, some of his old teammates are also in trouble. Okur was sidelined at the beginning of the season due to foot and back injuries.

His explosive data this season has something to do with these backgrounds.

Although he also enjoys the rare pleasure of scoring, it is obvious that what he wants more is the thing hanging above the arena.

While I was watching, someone came over and tapped me on the shoulder. When I turned around, I saw it was Kirilenko.

The original starting team was the only one left tonight.

After the warm-up, the scene entered the opening ceremony, and the starters from both sides were released one after another.

Jazz: Deron, CJ Miles, Kirilenko, Millsap, Jalen Collins

Suns: Tracy McGrady, Allen, Lin Ying, Frye, Stoudemire

Gentry's start is very interesting. He did not let Barbosa start, but directly let McGrady play the one position.

This illustrates several points: first, he doesn't want to play fast with his opponents when Nash is away; second, he doesn't want Lin Ying to directly hold the ball to beat Kirilenko; third, he wants to ensure the strength of the bench.

There are many things to consider, but only the competition can give the answer to the specific effects.
