Chapter 32 The Preseason Begins (Two Updates)

On October 10, the Cavaliers gathered again for training all morning.

In the afternoon, everyone got on the plane and went straight to Detroit, the motor city.

Here, the Cavaliers will face their first preseason opponent, the Pistons.

At 10 pm on October 7th, one hour before the start of the game, the Palace of Auburn Hills was already bustling and overcrowded.

The players of the two teams warmed up separately, and there was no interaction between the players.

But Paul Sellars, 60, offered to say hello to Larry Brown, 63.

As the oldest coach in the entire league, Larry Brown has a lofty status. Even Popovich was once Larry Brown's assistant coach and learned coaching experience from Brown.

Near 8 o'clock, players from both sides returned to the player channel.

The lights went out, and the entire arena fell silent. Everyone held their breaths and waited for the start of the game.

"Hey! Hello everyone, Sir Charles from TNT TV station will be explaining to you tonight. I haven't seen you during the half-year offseason. Do you miss me?"

A familiar voice, from Charles Buckley.

"I think if you continue to talk nonsense, the fans will not miss you, but want to beat you!"

Kenny Smith has always played the role of teasing Barkley, and today is no exception.

"Okay, okay. Then let us introduce the two teams in detail today. One is the Detroit Pistons, the No. [-] Eastern Conference team last season. The other is the Cleveland Cavaliers, the last No. [-] Eastern Conference team last season. Hahaha , I just realized that these two teams are both No. [-]!"

Barkley's big mouth was very damaging, but he won the cheers of the Pistons fans at the scene. After all, it was a compliment to the home team.

"So what's the point of today's game?"

Smith hurriedly brought the topic back to prevent Barkley from going too far.

"There are three things to watch.

First, the Cavaliers chose this year's No. [-] pick LeBron James, and the Pistons chose No. [-] pick Darko Milicic. I think everyone is paying attention to the first matchup between the two.

Second, the Pistons are an old team with an average age of nearly 30 years old.The average age of the Cavaliers is less than 25 years old.This is a competition of experience and talent.Is the experience of the Pistons better, or are the Cavaliers' young people more impactful? "

Barkley's commentary level is still very good, and the fans at the scene and the audience in front of the TV were immediately aroused.

"What about the third point?"

Smith asked.

"Hey." Barkley smiled maliciously, "The most defensive team in the league meets the least defensive team. The score is worth looking forward to. I don't know if the Cavaliers can score more than 60 points in four quarters."

Smith rolled his eyes, this partner is really a headache, isn't this provoking Cavaliers fans?
"Okay, let's introduce the starters on both sides. First, the visiting Cavaliers."

The first one to play was LeBron James.

Although he is the No. [-] pick, he is only a rookie after all, and James is the first to play.

The Palace of Auburn Hills erupted into horrific boos immediately. The champion is very good, but it is a pity that it is on the opposite side.

The 18-year-old James has long been accustomed to seeing big scenes and has not been affected at all.

The second to play was McGinnis.

Pistons fans also booed, but it was much quieter than James' obvious sound.

The third was Boozer, who booed a little louder than McInnis.

The fourth is Ricky Davis, whose boos are about the same size as James.

The fifth is "Big Z" Ilgauskas. As the only All-Star in the Cavaliers, although he is not the core of tactics, he has the highest status in the hearts of fans.

The boos given to him even surpassed that of James, but Big Z has rich experience and a calm expression.

"Okay, let's invite the home team to make their debut!"

The flash lights suddenly turned on, and the "Little Prince" Prince ran out, and loud cheers erupted immediately.

The second player to play is the 36-year-old veteran Eldon Campbell, who serves as power forward and center. This is the No. 14 season of the veteran.

The third player to play is "Masked Superman" Richard Hamilton, who serves as a shooting guard, Ye Feng's template, the first scoring point of the Pistons, and the league's first "running dead".

The fourth is Chauncey Billups, who is a point guard and the soul of the Pistons' offensive end.

The finale is naturally "Afro" Ben Wallace, the defensive core of the Pistons.Four best defensive players, six best defensive teams, five best teams, four All-Stars, two rebounding champions, and one blocked shot champion.

The core position of Big Ben is unquestionable!
The moment he appeared, the Palace of Auburn Hills went completely crazy, and the cheers almost knocked the ceiling of the arena off.

The stadium lights are also turned on at the same time at this moment, as if they exist only for Ben.The lights are shining, just for Big Ben!

(The order of appearance is written according to my own ideas, please don't mind.)
Ye Feng, who experienced this kind of scene for the first time, only felt his blood boil.

He finally understands why everyone wants to be the starter, not just the status and money, the cheers and the approval of the fans can make people excited!
"Well, the No. 36 pick has already started. Our No. [-], why are we still sitting on the sidelines? Coach Brown would rather let the [-]-year-old veteran play than give Milicic a chance to play? It's not that I look down on Campbell, but he is already old I can't even jump..."

Barkley was very dissatisfied with the starting lineup arranged by Larry Brown, which directly killed a major highlight of tonight.

"Then let's see how the No. [-] pick will perform!"

Smith hurriedly stopped Barkley's big mouth, and the savage Motown fans would not let him go if he spoke like this.

But these words resonated with Ye Feng.

For Larry Brown, Ye Feng only has one comment—a rookie strangler.

How talented Darko Milicic was, he was ranked second in the 2003 Golden Generation Draft, crushing Anthony, Wade and Bosh.

What's more, Milicic is one year younger than James, so it is conceivable how much potential he has.

But it was such a player who was put on the bench by Larry Brown for three years, and he was delayed for life.

The reason is simple. Milicic is not the kind of defensive player Brown likes, but an all-round insider who is good at supporting. This seems to be the wrong way of playing for Brown.

If it is Ye Feng's choice, Ye Feng can accept to play in the other 28 teams in the NBA, but he will not go to the team coached by Larry Brown.

At this moment, Milicic was sitting at the end of the Pistons' bench, looking at James, who started the game in the first game, with envy in his eyes.

He still doesn't know that he will never get this opportunity in his life.

Players from both sides are positioned.

The technical desk said ok.

The two assistant referees stood still.

The referee went to the middle of the field.

"Please be fair and just, don't attack others, don't do unsportsmanlike or hurt others, and abide by the rules of the court..."

After routine, the referee blew his whistle and threw the basketball at the same time.
