Chapter 33 The regular season opener!

There was once an anecdote about Bill Duffy.

In 2003, Bill Duffy's Anthony Carter contract was about to expire.Duffy made a mistake at this time: he forgot to negotiate with the Heat before the extension deadline, which caused Anthony Carter to automatically waive the remaining year of the $400 million contract... And, with Anthony Carter's 2002-03 season From the performance point of view, it is difficult for any team to sign him.

Bill Duffy took the initiative to assume all the responsibilities. He helped Anthony Carter sign a contract with the Spurs with an annual salary of about 100 million. In addition, he also paid 300 million US dollars from his own pocket to compensate for the loss.

This matter has more or less the meaning of buying a horse bone with a thousand gold, but they took out real money.

Of course, Bill Duffy is indeed responsible for this matter, and it is reasonable to pay for it, but there are countless vampires in the NBA. Except for him, most people will definitely shirk their responsibility and will not bear the cost.

Chen Yu also had a little understanding of this person's characteristics. No matter what Bill Duffy thought in his heart, at least he advertised that he wanted to be friends with the players under his banner, and he also hoped that the players under his banner would be upright and not go wrong. Some bad players seek to join.

Regardless of whether he flaunts it or not, but regardless of his deeds, at least he has done a good job.

Chen Yu himself also wanted to find a manager who was relatively honest. Even if the manager didn't have that much ability to develop business, even if he might not be so budget-conscious, at least it would save him some worries.Chen Yu didn't want to fight with anyone, and he didn't want to put all his energy into calculating others all day long. He just hoped to play smoothly, and then increase his strength little by little, so that people in the world would gradually know him.

So Bill Duffy is indeed a good choice.

It was late at night in the United States, and it was still daytime in China. Chen Yu contacted Yao Ming. Yao Ming was mostly encouraging and admiring on the phone, and said that when he had time, he would give him some experience in playing in the NBA. Chinese players should How to survive here or something.

After Chen Yu expressed his gratitude, he also brought up the matter of Bill Duffy, and Yao Ming said that he would help to contact him soon.

After all, the two had just met, and they didn't talk too much. If there is time and opportunity, they will contact each other slowly in the future.

After Yao Ming finally told Chen Yu to call him whenever he had any problems, the phone was temporarily put down.

Chen Yu felt that the manager's problem should be roughly resolved, and the next step was to train and play hard!

The Lakers' regular season opener will be played in three days.

The opponent of the Lakers opener is the Mavericks.

The Mavericks team, in the 10-11 season, defeated the Big Three of the Heat to win the championship in the eyes of everyone.

This championship is not easy to come by, and the gold content is extremely high. For Nowitzki, it is almost a miracle, and it will greatly increase his historical ranking.

However, after this championship, the Mavericks lost their aggressiveness and immediately dismantled the championship lineup last season.At the beginning, with the goal of saving salary, he started to maintain his health and slowly pursue draft picks.

Their back line, the main point guard is Collison, and there is Dengtai Jones on the point line.

Whether it was Collison or Dengtai Jones, they all had their own weaknesses, but Chen Yu decided that he would act according to the circumstances.

Before the Lakers officially started the first game of the season, the team trained twice, one of which also played a confrontation game.

In this confrontation, Chen Yu saw that Kobe had returned, and it seemed that his injury was basically unharmed. In addition, Nash also returned.

If my expectations are good, the Lakers are likely to play with a full lineup in the next game!
The superstar lineup of Kobe, Nash, Howard, Gasol, and Artest should be shown in front of everyone for the first time, no matter what the final result of this lineup is.

Chen Yu began to understand in his heart that when it came to the next game, he might not even be able to play.

This depends on the specific situation at the time. If the Lakers are more anxious with the opponent, or if they have not lost too many points to the Mavericks, most of the time there will be main players on the court.

Because this is the first time the Lakers have played with an all-star lineup, and it is the opening game of the regular season this season, the Lakers really can't afford to lose.

After losing so many games in the preseason, everyone will attribute it to the fact that the preseason is just for setting up troops and experimenting with the lineup, so it is not surprising to lose, but up to now, the regular season is still losing, and the losses are miserable. If so, almost everyone will start to question the Lakers.

After all, the four kings were unable to replicate the brilliance of past seasons, and it's not that the Lakers haven't done this before...

So it is very likely that Chen Yu will not have a chance to play in this game.

Regarding the upcoming competition, Chen Yu could only come down to earth.

Anyway, since I can't play in the next game, I can wait for other games. I don't need to be in a hurry. After all, the Lakers can't just spend [-] US dollars to invite me to watch three games up close.

On October 10, the game between the Mavericks and the Lakers was officially held at the Lakers' home court.

This game once again touched the hearts of many Chinese fans.

The Lakers team that many Chinese people like overlaps with China's own player Chen Yu, and Chen Yu is still able to play at the moment, which naturally brings everyone's attention.

Everyone was praying that Chen Yu would be able to play. Of course, this was based on the fact that the Lakers could win.

In the big list before the game, there was a particularly fortunate thing that Chen Yu entered the big list, which also meant that he had the possibility of playing.

This game is not only concerned by Lakers fans, but also fans of Kobe Black and other teams are also waiting anxiously. They hope that the Lakers will lose to the bottom today, proving that the four kings are the Lakers again A joke of the team.

The birth of such a super team often means more hostile gazes and gloating smiles.

This is the first time for Chen Yu to be baptized in the regular season as a Lakers player at the Staples home court. At the moment of the appearance ceremony, from the player tunnel to the court, from the dark to the bright boundary, it is so simple and clear. , You can hear the cheers of thousands of people, and the swarming shouts almost swallow people up.

The star players of the Lakers represented by Kobe, when they came out, the cheers made people almost come to the noisiest place. When Chen Yu and the others came out, the shouts were a little weaker, but they still lingered.

The atmosphere of the NBA has become stronger than ever before.
