Chapter 45

October 25, Los Angeles.

The Cavaliers closed the preseason game and played away against the Lakers.

It was just an ordinary pre-season game, but the tickets were almost sold out, and the scene was almost full.

During the off-season, the Lakers dug up "glove" Peyton and "postman" Malone to form the F4 combination of the famous earthquake league with O'Neill and Kobe Bryant.

James became famous when he was young. He was more popular than ordinary NBA stars in high school. He was elected the number one in this year's draft conference.

So for fans, this is more than an ordinary pre-season game. You can see so many stars on the spot. How can they be worth the ticket price.

And they also urgently want to know and explore the answers to the questions such as how the F4 combination of the Lakers is running in, how Kobe Bryant can play after the Eagle County incident, and how the new No. 1 player James plays on the court before the regular season.

In addition to the fans, there were also many media reporters and a group of first-line, second-line, third and fourth line and fifth and sixth line stars in the entertainment industry. Some of them were die hard fans, but some came to rub the heat and show their faces, hoping to be photographed by the lens of media reporters.

Loyal fans of the Lakers such as Xiao Li, Nicholson and dog ye are bound to be there. There are fixed positions on the sidelines.

Hollywood actresses such as Megan Fox, Scarlett Johnson and Jessica Alba were also in the front row.

Well, Kohler Kardashian, whom many people like, was also present today.

For such an eye-catching game, the TV station naturally arranged a live broadcast.

"The long off-season is finally over. It is only a few days away from the opening game of the regular season. The new season will start on October 28." Collins said.

"Yes, looking back on last season, many unforgettable things happened. Yao Ming became the NBA's first overseas champion show, the first Chinese player to become the champion show, and Stoudemire became the first best rookie of high school students in NBA history... "Barkley said.

"Yes, Yao Ming let you kiss the ass..." Collins broke in with a smile and stabbed his partner.

Buckley did not panic, smiled and said, "of course, this is one of the major events of last season."

"Last season, in addition to Stoudemire, another high school student player was also brilliant. McGrady won the scoring king of the regular season with an average of 32.1 points. He led the magic team to meet the pistons in the first round of the playoffs. After the first four games, he led 3-1.

If we still follow the past promotion system and win 3 out of 5, McGrady will become the black eight hero.

However, the NBA changed to 7 games and 4 wins last season to qualify. The pistons then won three consecutive games, blocking McGrady and the magic out of the second round.

So sometimes luck is important. " Collins changed the subject.

"My old friend Jordan finally retired again after playing for the wizards for two seasons.

Stockton and David Robinson also ended their careers and left the NBA last season.

Time always pushes people forward, the old people away and the new people.

LeBron, Anthony, Wade and other proud sons have stepped on the stage. They are going to seize the position in the center of the stage. " Buckley shook his head and sighed that he was one of those old people.

That group of people is actually very helpless, unfortunately, at the same time as Jordan, an old rogue.

But more unfortunately, it should be the newcomers who entered the industry in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Because the championship in the 1990s was monopolized by Jordan and Olajuwon, two proud men of level 84. They won eight Championships from 1991 to 1998, and no one can get a piece of it.

Of course, Olajuwon got two when Jordan retired for the first time.

In 1999, it was Duncan's turn and OK's turn to suppress the old guys in turn. Until last season, no one could stand out.

Stockton played until he was 41 years old and had no championship in his life. His old partner Malone went to the Lakers in the summer to realize a championship dream at the end of his career.

David Robinson was lucky. He got the help of dull Duncan and didn't leave until he got two championship rings. When he left, he said heartily: "thank God, let me have a good season."

The old friends left satisfactorily or bitterly or reluctantly, while the new people were ready to fight for their era.

"Let's talk about the upcoming new season. In summer, there was a huge arms race in the West. "

Collins's words pulled Buckley back from his sigh. "Last season, the Lakers were defeated 2-4 by the Spurs in the Western semi-finals, and their dream of winning four consecutive titles was shattered.

Kobe Bryant also shed sad tears in front of the media.

In order to regain the lost crown, they recruited Carl Malone and Gary Peyton at a low salary in the summer.

The combination of four superstars shocked the whole NBA.

Some people even think they can beat the regular season record of 72 wins set by the bulls that year. "

"Yes, the Lakers are completely aiming at revenge and winning the championship in the new season.

But winning the championship is not so simple. They need to run in well and have a good chemical reaction in the team.

The effect of superstar accumulation may not necessarily achieve a good record.

And their opponents in the West are not small.

The Dallas Mavericks first introduced Antoine Jamison, and then traded Antoine walker from the Celtics. Coupled with their superstar Nowitzki, their strength can not be underestimated. " Collins answered.

"Yes, except for the Mavericks,

The Spurs, which won the championship last season, sent off their hero Stephen Jackson, righted Manu Ginobili, and formed a new combination with Duncan and Parker in the summer. Their adjustment in the team is also remarkable.

They won't give way on the way to the championship in the new season.

Sacramento King recruited Brad Miller to fill Chris Webber's injured vacancy.

Even the Timberwolves, who have been in the first round of the playoffs for seven consecutive years, have made a big move.

In order to wash away the shame of not being able to pass the first round of the playoffs, they heavily introduced latril Sprewell and Sam Cassell, and formed a "three headed monster" combination with Kevin Garnett.

The situation that the west is strong and the East is weak is very obvious. Who still watches the game in the east? "

Buckley bent his fingers and counted the changes of the western team's trade in the summer.
