The NBA started with helping Iverson win the championship

Chapter 257
With the opening game against the New York Knicks, the hearts of the Pistons fans were relieved.

They were worried that these raw melon eggs would drag the team down, but judging from the games on the court, these rookies seemed to be playing pretty well.

Especially Leonard and Parsons, who started the game, are really eye-catching.

Parsons is quite powerful on the offensive end, as if he is an outside anti-aircraft gun, and his flexibility is much better than pure outside anti-aircraft guns such as Nowitzki or Schramf, so he can play in the backcourt.

As for Leonard, tonight he is directly facing the league's top five offensive killers.

Even so, Leonard completed his task very well, allowing Anthony to only score 21 points tonight.

It seems that 21 points is actually a lot.

But you must know that Anthony took 18 shots and hit 7 of them. This offensive efficiency is much lower than his normal situation.

The Pistons fans were overjoyed. The two rookies in the starting lineup had one offense and one defense, and they looked promising.

The remaining four rookies on the bench also performed well.

Vucevic played 10 minutes tonight. The defense was not good, but the basket was not bad. The key is that he has a good passing ability. When Li Xun is not on the court, he can even feed Howard two balls .

This makes Howard feel that joining the Pistons is an extremely lucky decision.

Both Clay and Jiba have been specially approached by Li Xun to chat alone, and the two are now aware of their preseason problems.

In this opening game, both played only ten minutes.

Clay didn't hold the ball anymore, and ran wildly around the court, waiting for his teammates to pass the ball, and then shot immediately the first moment he received the pass.

That shot speed, although not as good as Curry, is also much faster than ordinary guards.

As for Jiba, Li Xun gave him a hard lesson, and now he is a lot more honest. He also imitated Leonard on the field and focused his energy on the defensive end.

Because he is not facing a top attacker like Anthony, the defensive effect is still good, no worse than Leonard.

Due to the wingspan and palm width, Giba's defensive ceiling is actually far inferior to Leonard's.

Leonard's body is simply a machine specially customized by God for defense. His super terrifying wingspan is nothing more than a pair of amazingly big hands.

After all, the sport of basketball is a hand job. The bigger the hand, the more stable it is to hold and control the ball, and the greater the advantage when defending.

So even if Jiba puts in the same effort as Leonard, his defensive strength is definitely not as good as Leonard.

At the press conference after the game, Li Xun led Howard and two newcomers to participate.

"Li Xun, what plans do you have for this season?"

"Should we continue to compete for MVP, continue to score five stats, and continue to win the championship?"

The reporter got up and asked.

Li Xun shook his head, "Of course you have to win the championship. As for statistics, I don't think I need statistics to prove myself now."

"At present, there are a lot of new players in our team, and I want to give them more opportunities."

Now Li Xun really doesn't need statistics to prove his strength.

In the past three years, Li Xun was a fledgling, and he urgently needed one after another luxurious data to establish his alliance status.

But now with two championships in his hands, a third championship is already on the way, and he is already No. 1 in the league.

Saying that Li Xun is No.1 in the league, no one will doubt it.

Of course, because the number of championships is not as many as Kobe and Duncan, some fans still think that No. 1 is almost meaningless.

The number of championships is indeed almost meaningless, but in terms of strength, Li Xun said that it is No. 1 in the league, so there must be no problem.

The reporters nodded, and what Li Xun meant was that they were not going to compete for the top five stats this season?

This is undoubtedly great news for other players.

He couldn't compete with Li Xun for the championship, and now he can finally shine in terms of statistics.

Especially Durant, he has actually been able to win the scoring champion in the past two years, but Li Xun has overwhelmed him every season.

If Li Xun really did what he said this season and gave the opportunity to the rookies in the team, then Durant finally has a chance to win the scoring title.

"Dwight, congratulations on your amazing 50+20 stat tonight, what do you think?"

Reporters quickly turned their attention to Howard.

Howard's mouth was crooked, and he grinned loudly after taking the microphone.

"Cool, it's really cool."

"Playing next to Li Xun is definitely the happiest thing in the world."

"Lee Hoon saved me, just like I saved those girls."

"This season, our Pistons will definitely be the championship. I have already thought about what clothes I should pass during the championship parade."

Howard just has no sense.

The reporters looked at each other and laughed.

There is a saying about Howard saving the girls. He has said in public more than once that he went to patronize those girls to redeem them and improve their lives.

It's just that his metaphor is not very good, he compares himself to a girl who has stumbled.

"Li Xun, just now Dwight said that you will definitely win the championship this season, what do you think?"

"There are too many newcomers in the team, will it become an obstacle for you to win the championship?"

Li Xun shook his head, "It shouldn't be a big problem to win the championship. These rookies are all very strong, and they will definitely not be an obstacle, but a boost for us to win the championship."

"You have all seen the performance of these newcomers tonight."

"Especially Chandler, he played like me two years ago."

"I have a hunch that he will be the player who will rewrite the league structure. Given him time, he will definitely become a superstar star."

Li Xun praised Parsons without hesitation, caught him and praised him fiercely.

The reporters were dumbfounded, is Parsons really that strong?To be able to get such a high evaluation from Li Xun.

Of course, Li Xun has his own reasons for saying this. His plan is to quickly let Parsons play for his worth and then sell it to other teams.

The process of fattening up Parsons will not take too long. According to Li Xun's plan, it will take about half a month.

About seven games can be played in half a month. In these seven games, Parsons has been given enough opportunities to appear on the stage. With Li Xun at the side and a good help, the average score of [-] points per game is actually not a problem at all. .

With Parsons' height, plus Li Xun running to help get in position, his shooting percentage is very impressive.

How difficult can it be for him to take twenty shots in a game and get twenty points?
In addition, Parsons is very popular among female fans because of his handsome appearance. Many players are definitely willing to pay a high price to buy Parsons. After all, the spending power of female fans is still very impressive.

He is handsome, strong and has potential. Which team can not be tempted by such a player?

……

The Pistons easily beat the Knicks in the first game, and the next day the Heat played at home against the Toronto Raptors.

With the joining of DeRozan, the Raptors' status in Stern's heart has risen sharply.

Although he was not arranged to show his face in the opening game, he played the first game against the Heat after the opening game.

The result of the game was extremely surprising. The Heat actually lost, and it wasn't even a small loss. They were also beaten by the Raptors.

At 91:109 in the game, the Heat lost to the Raptors by as much as 18 points.

This is the Heat of the Big Three. The first game of the season was played like this, which almost made Heat fans vomit blood.

After the game, a bunch of reporters who watched the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal began to expose James' scars.

"LeBron, you said you would bring five championships, six championships, and seven championships to the city of Miami."

"How long do you think it will take to fulfill your promise?"

After the question was finished, the reporter himself became amused.

Because according to the current situation, James' promise will not be realized even in another century.

"LeBron, after you were eliminated by the Pistons last season, you said that you can definitely beat the Pistons this season."

"I wonder if you have changed your mind now?"

Reporters continued to add fuel to the fire.

He was shaved by the Pistons last season. James did say this through gritted teeth in the post-game press conference.

At that time, he felt that Yao Ming was getting older and his health would be worrying for the next season.

And their running-in with the Heat is getting better and better.

In this case, if Yao Ming can't play, it is not impossible for the Heat to beat the Pistons.

But after all calculations, who can count on Yao Ming's retirement, and Li Xun got Howard by his side again.

Mentioning this, James gritted his teeth with anger.

"Li Xun's luck is really good. If I can have his luck, I may have five championship rings now."

"From entering the league to now, I have never partnered with a top insider."

"If I have teammates like Yao Ming or Howard, do you think I can't win the championship?"

James said angrily.

What he said was not nonsense.

The insider partner at the beginning of his career is Big Z.

Although Big Z is an All-Star, he is not considered a top insider.

Later, he partnered with Big Ben, and then O'Neal. These two were indeed top players in their peak periods, but they were both old when they came to James, so they were not considered top insiders.

When James said this, the reporters actually felt that it made sense.

But on second thought, this is wrong.

The Pistons won the championship with such crushing strength, is it really just because they have Yao Ming in their team?

You must know that even if Yao Ming fished for three days and posted the net for two days, the Pistons still won 76 consecutive victories in the regular season.

So James said that Li Xun won the championship only because of good luck. This is a bit ridiculous and generous, and it is estimated that it will definitely become a bible in the future.

Just when the Heat were ravaged by the Raptors, the Pistons ushered in their second game of the season.

It's still an away game, and their opponent tonight is the Nets.

I haven't seen Ah Lian for a long time. Li Xun went out to eat with Ah Lian the night he arrived in New Jersey.

Judging by Ah Lian's expression, he is quite satisfied with his current situation.

This offseason, he has signed a new contract with the team.

Because of the new salary agreement, his contract is not as big as expected, but the total salary is still very impressive, as high as 8600 million for five years, the same amount as the contract signed by Durant.

If it was left in the first two years, who would believe that Yi Jianlian would get the same maximum salary contract as Durant.

Not only signed a big contract, but now the performance of the Nets is quite strong.

Their first game was against the Eagles, a powerhouse in the Eastern Conference. As a result, the Eagles were beaten miserably by the Nets, and they were always under pressure throughout the game.

With the joining of Artest, the mental outlook of this Nets is indeed completely different.

The previous Nets felt listless.

Even during the Carter Trident period, the Nets were still weak and not tough enough.

This wilting lasted until last season.

Once Artest came this season, coupled with the growth of the blood cloth who dared to fight and fight hard, this Nets already has all the factors to become a powerhouse in the Eastern Conference.

"Brother Li, this is a small gift. Our team management asked me to bring it to you in order to thank you."

After all, Yi Jianlian took out a large gold chain weighing about three or four catties from his backpack.

Li Xun was stunned. Is this the little gift Ah Lian mentioned?Such a thick chain can tie a Tibetan Mastiff.

"Your Nets management's brains are really big enough, but I like this gift very much." Li Xun was not polite and accepted it directly.

This gift is accepted with peace of mind.

Li Xun really deserves the credit for the Nets to be in this situation.

Without him, the United Arab Emirates would not be able to rise.

They couldn't get the bloodcloth either.

There is no way to get Artest in the transaction.

At least [-]% of the Nets' strength was brought to them by Li Xun, so what's wrong with receiving some small gifts?
It may also be that the Nets management felt that giving money was too vulgar, so they gave gold in an ingenious way.

"By the way, that guy Ron is in your locker room, isn't he messing around?"

Li Xun suddenly remembered this and asked Ah Liandao.

Artest is a time bomb. When he was in the Pistons, Li Xun was able to press him, so there has been no problem.

He was worried that after Artest went to the Nets, he would directly start to let loose.

"No, Ron is quite interesting."

"He said he assisted Yao Ming, and then assisted you, and now he assisted me."

Li Xun couldn't help laughing, isn't this a family slave with one or three surnames?
It's also thanks to Artest that he didn't look at the Three Kingdoms, otherwise he would never have said that.

Seeing Li Xun smiling, Ah Lian also laughed out loud. He didn't notice it when Artest said it, but now seeing Li Xun smiling, he immediately thought of this.

"It's good that it's not messing around, this guy is a smooth ass."

"It's okay to praise him, it's better than anything else."

Ah Lian nodded, "Understood, Brother Li."

In this game against the Nets, Li Xun did not go crazy to help Howard collect data, but focused on Parsons.

After the game was over, Parsons beat his chest excitedly and roared.

17投11中，其中三分5中2，罚球6中5，今晚他一共砍下了29分入账。

The fans watching the game were dumbfounded, as if Li Xun hadn't lied, there was indeed something about Parsons.

Especially compared with the UAE on the court, the style of play of the two is really similar.
