NBA: The King of Basketball, the more haters I have, the stronger I become!

Chapter 51: I've never seen such an arrogant rookie before!

May 31, US time

The long-awaited NBA 2009-2010 season has officially begun!

The NBA has scheduled the first game of the season to be the Boston Celtics vs. the Cleveland Cavaliers!

In the summer, the Cavaliers will form the "Shaq King" duo of LeBron James and Shaquille O'Neal to battle the Celtics' Big Three!

However, the final result surprised the whole world.

The Cleveland Cavaliers, considered the biggest favorites to win the championship this season, suffered a crushing defeat at Quicken Loans Arena.

No one expected that the Cavaliers, who were highly anticipated, would suffer their first loss of the season so quickly.

Immediately after

The defending champion Los Angeles Lakers received their championship rings at Staples Center.

After Kobe Bryant finished his speech, then-NBA Commissioner David Stern personally presented the Lakers team with their championship rings.

Amid cheers from nearly 20,000 Lakers fans, the Lakers raised their championship banner for the fifteenth time at Staples Center.

Looking at the championship banner hanging above the arena, Kobe's lips curled into a slight smile.

It's time to give up on the pursuit of a fifth championship trophy!

of course

To win their fifth title, they must start with this season opener!

In their first game of the new season, the Los Angeles Lakers will host the Houston Rockets.

The Lakers traded Trevor Ariza to the Rockets for Ron Artest during this offseason.

Everyone thought the Rockets made a killing.

However, once the competition began, people were surprised to find...

The Lakers seem to be the ones who benefited the most!

Ariza struggled with his shooting throughout the game, throwing down 15 of his 20 attempts.

It's no exaggeration to say that he almost knocked the Staples Center out of shape.

Even though Yao Ming performed exceptionally well, scoring a double-double of 20 points and 14 rebounds, he still couldn't lead Ironza to victory.

The Lakers, the reigning champions, easily finished the game in three quarters, winning 108-90 and securing a 18-point victory in their season opener!

If Ye Chu remembered correctly

This season will be Yao Ming's last peak. After that, the Great Wall of China will choose to retire due to injuries.

But in reality, if Yao Ming could lose weight and change his style to become an outside shooter, he could definitely play for several more years.

Think of this

A bold idea suddenly popped into Ye Chu's mind.

Of course, all these ideas can only be put into practice after the season ends.

May 1, US time

The new NBA regular season has begun!

The Oklahoma City Thunder, who became a laughing stock in the league last season, were the first to fire the first shot.

In the home game against the Dallas Mavericks, the old trio of Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, and Jeff Green combined for 70 points, 24 rebounds, and 15 assists, helping the team defeat the Mavericks 110-100.

It's worth mentioning that third overall pick James Harden contributed 14 points, 5 rebounds, and 8 assists in just 24 minutes off the bench. His outstanding performance has led many fans to exclaim that the Thunder have a bright future!

Following closely behind, the Memphis Grizzlies also played their first game of the season.

Although second overall pick Blake Griffin couldn't lead his team to victory, his all-around performance of 18 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, and 3 blocks was still commendable.

With the second and third overall picks both delivering impressive individual performances, the Davidson twins have become the focus of attention.

The Los Angeles Clippers also welcomed their first game of the new season—the Golden State Warriors!

Los Angeles, United States

STAPLES Arena!

The stadium wasn't very full today.

Even though this is the season opener, and even though the Los Angeles Clippers drafted the Davidson College duo in the draft.

But Los Angeles fans aren't really interested in the Clippers right now.

What can you do? This is Los Angeles.

A city that only loves the Los Angeles Lakers.

"This summer, the Los Angeles Clippers gave up several star players just to bring the Davidson duo together in the NBA!"

The commentator on the sidelines looked at Ye Chu and Curry, who were laughing and joking on the court: "Ye Chu and Stephen delivered a dominant performance in the NCAA Championship, leaving a deep impression on fans all over the world!"

"Yes, actually I'm not paying much attention to the outcome of this match today!"

Another commentator also focused on the Davidson duo: "I just want to see how Ye Chu and Stephen Curry perform in their first professional game!"

Even without Stephen Curry's brilliance.

Ye Chu is also this year's top scorer.

The top scorer in any given year is always the focus of attention.

No matter how well Ye Chu performed in the Ncaa Championship.

That's all in the past.

His performance on the NBA court will truly show whether he deserves the number one draft pick!

"You two, focus! This isn't a practice match!"

On the court, watching Ye Chu and Curry still playing around, the young coach Stevens immediately gave each of them a light punch: "Today you're facing NBA-level players, they won't be as easily defeated as those NCAA kids!"

Although Ye Chu and Curry delivered dominant performances in the NCAA.

But the gap between the NCAA and the NBA is truly enormous!

"To be honest, I'm really puzzled!"

In a pre-game interview, Golden State Warriors star Monta Ellis stated clearly: "The Los Angeles Clippers would actually give up Byron Davidson to focus on developing young players?"

"If I were facing Byron, I wouldn't make a move so easily!"

"But I won't show any mercy to Ye Chu and Curry!"

"Those two are no match for Byron Davidson at all; their perimeter defense will be my backyard!"

Monta Ellis's meaning is quite clear.

He is Byron Davidson's loyal follower, and he also wants to be the first man in the league to educate the Davidson twins in the NBA!

"Monta really said that?"

Ye Chu, who was being interviewed by the media on the other side, almost burst out laughing after hearing what the reporter relayed.

Good guy!

I've encountered a plot that mocks the villains in countless basketball novels!

"I will personally find you a piece of land!"

Before Ye Chu could reply, Curry, who was standing next to him, got anxious.

As both teams' starting lineups took to the court, Curry, in front of the entire Warriors team, suddenly quipped, "At least when you're buried, it'll be more dignified!"

I, Zefa!

The entire Golden State Warriors team looked completely bewildered.

The game hasn't even started yet, and you're already trying to bury Monta Ellis?

What a loud tone!

"Monta, just focus on scoring today, we'll all grab the rebounds for you!"

Warriors starters Corey Maggette, Reggie Williams, and Anthony Morrow patted Ellis on the back.

How can a greenhorn on the other side be so arrogant?

We really need to teach him a lesson!

"Don't worry, leave it to me!"

Ellis radiated confidence.

He's an expert at training new recruits!
