Chapter 440
The opener record is also a record.

Jordan's name appeared here again, making everyone focus on the Wizards.

On the same day, the Wizards played away to challenge the Charlotte Hornets.

Jordan's return to the game after two years is naturally highly anticipated.

In Charlotte, many fans in the arena turned against each other and began to cheer for Jordan, who belonged to the visiting team.

Jordan's popularity is evident.

This year, the 37-year-old Jordan saved the ball market. In the Hornets' arena, the attendance rate reached more than 90.00%.

Basketball reporters questioned Jordan because he hadn't played for two years and was a 37-year-old "professional senior", whether he could continue his original glory.

As a result, in the first game, Jordan's performance was indeed mediocre.

全场17投仅5中，得到了14分4助攻2抢断，没有展现出之前的统治力。

However, the Wizards themselves played very well. The team beat the Hornets 99 to 75 and won their first victory of the season.

"Didn't you win the game?"

Jordan, who was interviewed after the game, spread his hands and didn't care.

In the end, some blind reporter asked, "But Qin Fei of the Warriors scored 51 points in the first game and led the team to victory. Do you think Qin Fei is a better scorer than you now?"

Jordan raised his eyebrows and gave the reporter a cold look.

The reporter is not afraid of power, sticks out his neck stubbornly, and does not flinch at all.

"I have achieved 51 points in the first game. I know that he is indeed in a delicate state, but I don't think Qin Fei is a better scorer. He still has a lot to learn."

Jordan knew it was a trap, but with his status and personality, even if it was a pit, he jumped without frowning at all.

The reporters were all excited, and the headline for tomorrow had already been thought out——Qin Fei scored 51 points in the opening game, and Jordan felt that it was not enough!

Qin Fei and Jordan are two waves of enthusiasm, one long and the other long.

On the same day, the results of other games were also released. For example, the Lakers beat the Jazz 99 to 91, and the 76ers beat the Raptors 104 to 98.

For the first time in so many years, the Jazz played against Karl Malone as an opponent.

The Lakers still adopt the classic triangle offense. Karl Malone is not very used to the triangle offense. The Lakers have made some relatively low-level mistakes in the game.

Malone scored only 11 points and grabbed 7 rebounds.

The "OK" combination is still strong, scoring 51 points together, and the Big Three scored 62 points in the first game to take away the game.

Kobe scored a game-high 29 points. The Jazz were exhausted, and there was no one outside to defend Kobe.

The game between the 76ers and the Raptors is also a focus battle.

The drama of Iverson's battle with Carter is a "matchup brand" created by the league for the Eastern Conference's next commemoration. There is no doubt that this is very attractive.

Everyone wants to know about the dialogue between these two supernovas and super popular players.

In the end, the 76ers won. Iverson scored 31 points, Duncan scored 22 points and 15 rebounds, and Carter scored 35 points. Although the 76ers formed a "super duo", it seems that the Raptors are not without strength.

After all, it still needs to be adjusted.

As for Yao Ming's debut, which Chinese fans are most concerned about, it was not scheduled on the first day, but on the second day.

The next day, the Bulls played against the Kings, who came all the way from the West.

The Kings are formidable enemies, the upstarts in the West that have risen in the past two years.

In the eyes of the outside world, the Bulls are a talented young guard. In addition to the highly anticipated combination of McGrady + Brandon, high-ranking rookies like Yao Ming have also attracted a lot of attention.

However, Yao Ming is still just a rookie. Although there is attention, he is not the core of the Bulls.

Floyd, the head coach, said to the swarm of domestic reporters that Yao Ming would not be the starter in the first game.

"He still has a lot to learn. His body is still very thin, and he is not very adaptable to tactics and the NBA. He needs some time to grow."

Among the Bulls' starters, Tracy McGrady and Brandon are the undoubted starters.

The other three are all unknown people.

In the end, the Bulls lost 91 to 100 at home to the Kings. McGrady came to the Bulls' first game and lost.

但是麦迪个人表现非常不错，20投12中砍下29分5篮板6助攻的全面数据，埃尔顿布兰德面对国王内线，只得到了16分4篮板。

Yao Ming came off the bench and played a total of 11 minutes without scoring a point. He also got embarrassing statistics of 2 turnovers and 3 fouls. The only positive statistics were 2 backcourt rebounds.

Such performance is obviously very bad.

Therefore, while the outside world continues to pay attention, it also raises a lot of doubts.

"Can you play in the NBA?"

"Did everyone miss you?"

"Yao Ming and Qin Fei are not the same, maybe this is a wrong choice."

Even though many people have already shared the firepower, this 20-year-old boy with the title of "the highest pick in Chinese players" still feels the raging rumors.

But at this time, Barkley was still in the Warriors.

No one came up with the concept of "pro-donkey ass", so they didn't add fire to the matter of fermentation.

On the contrary, Qin Fei found it very interesting and wanted to know Buckley's thoughts.

The day after the Bulls game, the Warriors had a game.

After seeing Barkley, Qin Fei asked with a smile, "Have you watched Yao Ming's game? What do you think of him?"

Buckley glanced at Qin Fei and misunderstood.

He thought that Qin Fei wanted to hear some positive comments, so after pondering for a while, Barkley organized his words: "I think he's not bad. I've seen him play. How tall is he? Seven feet six inches? Or seven feet five inches?"

"These are not important, I don't like people who are so much taller than me, of course, Yao is very good, he is very flexible."

"I feel that he is mainly not adapted to the rhythm of the NBA game. This is normal. When many NCAA college students enter the league, they will also have discomfort."

Barkley also extended to himself from this.

He cited his personal experience to Qin Fei. During his rookie season, he often ate too much, and there were always people who suspected that he would not be able to gain a foothold in the NBA due to his height. After one season, he only had 14 points and 8 rebounds. The statistics are not surprising.

Qin Fei: "."

Well, Qin Fei thinks it's good to hear Barkley say that, there is a feeling of contrast.

Barkley clearly felt that Qin Fei was not very satisfied with his answer.

Damn it, this flattery is kind of hard to shoot!

He had already thought of a lot of good things, and he frowned.

Do you think that if you are used to having a poisonous tongue, you will actually have a vocabulary dilemma.

The Warriors' second game is against the Suns.

During the offseason, the Suns made a deal with the Warriors. On the one hand, they helped Marion and got Clifford Robinson cheaper. On the other hand, they also strengthened the team's No. [-] position and made some other preparations.

The Sun uniform team in this period definitely has its own set of things.

Although they didn't say anything, Qin Fei already felt that the Suns were moving in the direction he wanted to go, but now it was like a big dish, with a few seasonings missing.

The overall strength of the Suns is definitely not as good as the Warriors.

And there is nothing too surprising about Skiles' coaching style. The Suns fought fiercely in a game and finally lost the game 97 to 105.

Although he persisted until the end, he still failed to find a rhythm that suits him, nor did he help the team launch a counterattack.

It looks like the game is Furui Wubo.

Qin Fei's score dropped in this game and "only" scored 30 points.

In the Warriors, Big Ben scored 5 points, 19 rebounds and 5 blocked shots. 19 rebounds can be regarded as super rebound data. Generally, the insiders have to explode to get such rebound data.

Daben has a strong ability to grab rebounds, 19 rebounds are not uncommon. Last year, he had already grabbed 20+ rebounds in a single game, which confirmed his status as a super blue-collar.

On Saturday night, the Warriors ushered in their third game of the week.

Tonight, against the San Antonio Spurs.

The Spurs were killed in the summer team and failed to retain the super giants that had ushered in the team for so many years. Now the entire team is very mediocre.

It's better to call it "team basketball". To put it bluntly, there is no "super giant", not even an All-Star level.

Such a Spurs team belongs to a truly civilian sport, with high upper and lower limits. In the NBA, this kind of team is prone to upset, but it is basically impossible to return to the ranks of strong teams.

Popovich didn't have any ingredients in hand, so he couldn't cook anything.

In the first quarter, the Spurs trailed the Warriors by 19 points 31-12.

By the end of halftime, the Warriors were already more than 20 points behind. Qin Fei finished the third quarter and scored 27 points. The fourth quarter was reduced to garbage time, and he didn't play at all.

In the end, the Warriors defeated the Spurs 114 to 96 at home and won the first three consecutive victories.

The Warriors won all three games. Qin Fei scored 108 points in the three games and averaged 36 points per game, ranking first in the league at the start of the season. He was successfully elected the best player in the league for the first week.

At the end of the first week of the game, there are many teams in the league that have not lost for the time being.

In addition to the Warriors in the West, there are the Lakers, Kings, and Timberwolves, all of whom have never lost, while in the East, the 76ers, Heat, and Magic all have unbeaten records.

If it's only a week, nothing specific can be seen.

However, basketball commentators with relatively high acuity can feel the obvious rise of some teams. For example, the 76ers, although the first game against the Raptors was tiring, but the next two games were relatively easy to win.

Duncan himself is more of a jack-of-all-trades, and he is also an inside defensive player. He and Iverson have one offense and one defense, which is just a good partner.

Iverson is good at breakthroughs and mid-range. He can be used as a scorer or as a starting point for offense with the ball. His style of play is more changeable.

The strongest of the two is the pick-and-roll offense in the elbow area. After the block is over, one of the two will always have the opportunity to attack in a dislocation, and the ability of these two to grasp the offense is too strong.

One week into the game, the 76ers showed their sharp fangs, further proving the correctness of huddling together for warmth.

Qin Fei was also very emotional. Needless to say, Iverson must have an ability value above 90, and the same is true for Duncan. Adding two people together is not a simple mathematical operation of one plus one.

Iverson wanted to say that he only wanted a frame-protecting center, but he didn't expect to get the Plus version of the super giant insider.

He Ai Yunlong has never played such a rich game in his career.

Just when everyone felt that the league was turbulent, another piece of heavy news suddenly broke out.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have a big event!
Qin Fei really forgot about it. It wasn't until the league issued a penalty order that he suddenly remembered that it really happened. He didn't expect it to happen during this period.

According to Yahoo Sports,
The league imposed a penalty on the Timberwolves: a fine of 350 million US dollars and the cancellation of the Timberwolves' first-round picks for the next 5 years.

The Timberwolves won all the games in the first week, and the result was such a bolt from the blue. Garnett was innocently lying on the gun, and the whole thing was stunned.
The reason for issuing the ticket can be summed up in four words - yin and yang contract.

When Qin Fei heard the news, he happened to be chatting with Buckley in the locker room. Buckley shouted "God" several times, his fat face and small eyes were full of shock.

"It's Joe Smith's contract. I just said it. This guy has lost his mind and signed a two-year basic salary contract. It turned out to be a yin-yang contract."

Buckley watched the news, and then talked about science with Qin Fei.

Yin Yang contract?

Qin Fei took another look at Barkley.

Barkley was a little guilty, and stared back: "Why?"

Qin Fei shook his head: "It's nothing, I can only say that the Timberwolves are not lucky."

After the 98 labor agreement, Joe Smith and the Timberwolves reached a basic salary extension for two consecutive years. The first year was fine, which can be understood as a conservative signing with an uncertain future. The second year of signing with a basic salary was a bit too fake. The league was completely ignored, which led to an investigation by the league.

However, despite investigations, the outside world has rarely reported on the matter.

Until now, the league has issued the most serious fine in history, and the Timberwolves' five-year draft picks are gone.

According to the league survey, Joe Smith actually signed two contracts with the Timberwolves, one is a basic salary contract, and the other is that if he signs with a minimum salary for three consecutive years, he will sign a big contract with the Timberwolves for no less than 4000 million US dollars.

All this is documented, in black and white.

In addition, the league is going to rectify such unhealthy trends during this period, so the Timberwolves were severely punished and imposed the most serious fines as a warning to others.

"I think it's because Kevin's contract is too big. The Timberwolves' management is really out of their minds. Even if it is to estimate the market value, it can't be estimated like this. It was very generous to give a contract of [-] million yuan before, but now it's okay. In order to save some luxury taxes, they directly put all the draft picks in."

Barkley kept shaking his head over there. In his eyes, the Timberwolves have been sentenced to death. It is estimated that there is nothing to do in the past few years. The salary space is locked like this. What can we do? After all, it is just a small team.

"Maybe this is fate, and we can't blame Kevin entirely. If he had studied in a university for one year and entered the league in 96, he could accept the devastation of the collective bargaining agreement like us. Then he would not sign such an outrageous contract, and there would be no such thing as Joe Smith."

Qin Fei's way of thinking is also quite strange, and he actually talked about the question of whether Garnett can go to college or not.

Barkley seemed to really get his point, and said with a smile: "There is some truth to what you said. For example, the Spurs were miserable. They finally selected a superstar, but because they wanted to save some money, they didn't keep it."

"Isn't it good for Duncan to go to the East? We have one less strong opponent in the West."

Qin Fei laughed. He couldn't understand this alliance at all now, it was a mess everywhere, and no one knew what would happen to the alliance in the next second.

Too
Barkley recalled the previous game between the Rockets and the Spurs. Duncan was indeed difficult to deal with. He could go to the East. At least until the finals, the Warriors didn't have to worry about it.

"Are you guessing that the 76ers will make it to the Finals?"

Qin Fei suddenly turned his head and asked with a smile.

Barkley was taken aback by him, what's going on with this guy?
Oriental mind reading?
He subconsciously denied it.

"76 people?"

"No, I think the Wizards will enter the Finals, or rather, I hope the Wizards will enter the Finals."

he said fiercely.
