NBA: Being criticized for half a year at the beginning

On October 30, the regular season officially kicked off.

As the defending champion, the Houston Rockets were scheduled to face the challenge of the Miami Heat at home in the first game.

The NBA league always likes to do these things, so that the defending champion and his challenger can have another revenge battle.

The first game is naturally indispensable to the awarding ceremony of the championship ring.

At present, the Rockets have ushered in a major change in the lineup, and only 6 players are the original players of last season.

Curry, Harden, McGrady, Anthony, Ibaka and Yao Ming, it can be said that the Rockets have almost dismantled the championship team except for the core lineup.

The new players do not have championship rings, and Durant and other players who have not won the championship are full of envy.

All the Heat players lined up on both sides of the player channel to welcome the championship team to appear, and James' eyes were full of envy.

The retired legendary center Shaquille O'Neal appeared in this dynasty center in a neat suit. This is his fifth championship ring.

For James, not winning the championship means failure. The Big Three all took a pay cut to come to the Heat to free up salary space for the team in order to win the championship, but the team's operation can only be said to be unsatisfactory.

The championship ring awarding ceremony began, and Tang Yu and six players were awarded the championship rings engraved with their names in turn.

Anthony was very excited to hold the championship ring in his hand, which is the most precious thing for his entire career.

Finally, Yao Ming spoke on behalf of all Rockets players and coaching staff.

"I want to represent all the people who have made efforts and contributions to the Houston Rockets, not just players, but also coaches, trainers and fans who love us! The championship belongs to all of you, and of course the one who created it all-Tang Yu!"

The Dynasty Center was filled with long-lasting applause and cheers. With the restoration of the lights, the players began to prepare for pre-match warm-ups.

Because of Tang Tang, Tang Yu has not made a final observation on the changes in the ability and talent values ​​of Rockets players this season.

Tang Yu sat on the bench and launched a unique vision.

The talent and ability values ​​of each Rockets player fell into Tang Yu's mind one by one, and he quickly took out his little notebook and began to record them.

Point guard: Stephen Curry's talent value is 99, and his ability value is 97. Jeremy Lin's talent value is 83 and his ability value is 77;

Shooting guard: James Harden's talent value is 99 and his ability value is 97. Tracy McGrady's talent value is 74 and his ability value is 72. Ray Allen's talent value is 84 and his ability value is 81. Gerald Green's talent value is 82 and his ability value is 76. Jason Terry's talent value is 82 and his ability value is 78;

Small forward: Carmelo Anthony's talent value is 99 and his ability value is 97. Assignment value 98, ability value 95, Kevin Durant's talent value 98, ability value 95, Kawhi Leonard's talent value 94, ability value 82;

Power forward: Serge Ibaka's talent value 87, ability value 84, Carl Landry's talent value 77, ability value 73;

Center: Yao Ming's talent value 90, ability value 82, Greg Oden's talent value 95, ability value 80, DeJuan Blair's talent value 73, ability value 70.

Yao Ming's decline is the most obvious here, from 88 ability value at the beginning of last season to 82, it can be said that Yao Ming has gradually entered the end of his career.

The most anticipated is naturally Leonard, his ability value has increased by three points again in this month.

The talent values ​​of Curry and Harden have all risen to 99 in this month. It can be said that the two can grow into stars who dominate an era under Tang Yu's command.

The Rockets have four 95+ superstars, which can only appear in the game.

Tang Yu smacked his lips and muttered to himself: "This lineup is really cool, it's hard to lose!"

The TS super commentary lineup composed of O'Neal, Barkley, Drexler and Brent Barry will jointly commentate for the first time.

O'Neal and June Barry are commentating together on the spot, and the other three people in the TS Sports live broadcast room are chatting and laughing with O'Neal.

Brent Barry asked: "Shaq, how does it feel to get the fifth championship ring?"

"Haha, it feels great!" O'Neal laughed, "But as far as I know, Charles doesn't even have a championship. He is the only player in our group who doesn't have a championship! He is so pitiful, Charles, do you need a championship ring?"

Barkley, who was originally smiling, suddenly turned black, "Shut up, Shaq, before I kick your balls!" Barkley shouted in the studio.

Everyone was amused by Barkley's words. This was helpless. The two of them were competing on the same field.There was a fight in the 1990s, and Barkley beat O'Neal.

It is understandable that O'Neal still holds a grudge. Since the two of them did a show together, O'Neal always finds opportunities to make fun of Barkley.

Jon Barry asked: "Today is the first game of the season, why don't we make a prediction. How about we guess who will be the MVP and scoring champion this year?"

O'Neal smiled and said: "Jon, I thought you wanted to bet on who will be the champion. But when it comes to MVP and scoring champion, I don't think they will be the same person. I still prefer the Rockets to be the MVP, and I think the scoring champion will be Kobe or LeBron."

"I agree with Shaq, but I think scoring champion Dirk also has a chance. I think Dirk will have an explosion after leaving the Rockets." Drexler said.

Barkley said: "Don't forget about Yi Jianlian, he was the most improved player last season, I think he will have no problem scoring 25+ this season."

Brent Barry concluded: "This league is full of miracles and unknowns, everything can happen, I look forward to some players who can surprise us."

Ten players appeared soon after the warm-up of both sides.

The Rockets' starting point guard: 'school student' Stephen Curry;

Shooting guard: 'bearded' James Harden;

Small forward: 'Death God' Kevin Durant;

Power forward: 'Melo' Carmelo Anthony;

Center: 'Little Giant' Yao Ming.

Arranging Yao Ming to continue to serve as center is out of respect for him.

The Heat also sent out all their main players, point guard: ‘Flash’ Dwyane Wade;

shooting guard: ‘Tyrannosaurus’ Caron Butler;

small forward: ‘Little Emperor’ LeBron James;

power forward: ‘Dragon King’ Chris Bosh;

center: ‘Haiti Giant Tower’ Samuel Dalembert.

The Heat’s lineup has improved qualitatively compared to last season. The addition of Butler and Dalembert has improved the Heat on both offense and defense.

With Chalmers, Mike Miller, Novak, Jones and other players on the bench, the Heat is definitely aiming for the finals this season.

The ten players from both sides high-fived and hugged each other and stood still!

The 11-12 regular season kicked off as scheduled. The first game was broadcast live across the United States, and the ratings were off the charts!

A whistle blew, the basketball was thrown into the air, and Yao Ming and Dalembert jumped together!

The 11-12 season has begun!
