    On September 20, all members of the Pistons gathered to start training. Previously, Boozer and Okur performed very well in the summer league in July. One averaged 20+10 per game, and the other averaged 2.5 three-pointers per game.  ball.

    Although Okur is tall and thick, he is not exactly a meat shield center. He is a rare long-range anti-aircraft turret in this era that can fire from beyond the three-point line!

    Not to mention Boozer In the original time and space, there were only 7 rookies in his generation who could average more than 10 points per game in their first season. He was one of them, and his average playing time per game was this  The smallest among 7 people.

    ??????? If we only focus on the immediate combat ability in his rookie season, Boozer is indeed much better than Prince, but it is a pity that this guy's character is not that good, otherwise he would not have received the nickname "Rebellious Boy".

    Fortunately, his "rebellion" will only happen a few years later, so there is no chance for him to perform this scene now.

    After the players practiced together for several days, Carlisle specifically discussed it with Big Ben, Wang Dalin and Hamilton. He decided to let the three of them play only one quarter in each game in the preseason, so as to allow the new players to play as many minutes as possible.  beat.

    ??Especially the starting point guard McGinnis, the first center substitute Okur, and the first power forward substitute Boozer. These three people are very capable and must run in with the team more.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? and Ben definitely needs more rest If he didn't have to try his best to get in touch with the new players, Carlisle even wanted him to stop playing in the preseason.

    So the defending champion played very average in the preseason, winning and losing half of the 6 games.

    On October 29, the 2002-2003 NBA regular season officially kicked off. There were only three games on the first day of the opening game, namely the Spurs vs. the Lakers, the 76ers vs. the Magic, and the Cavaliers vs. the Kings.

    Five of these six teams were strong playoff teams last season, especially the Lakers, who were the "overall runner-up", so fans' attention is still very high.

    Since O'Neal was absent due to injury, the Lakers could only rely on Kobe to lead the team. He struggled in this game, only hitting 9 goals in 29 shots, including 1 of 2 three-pointers.  .

    Kobe Bryant¡¯s shooting touch is extremely strong, and he only made 8 of 12 shots from the free throw line. His shooting percentage of 66.7% was obviously much lower than his usual level.

    The performance of the rest of the Lakers was also very impressive. Apart from Kobe, only Stanislav Medvedenko and Devin George scored in double figures.

    If it weren¡¯t for the Lakers¡¯ playoff-level defensive intensity, they would have been defeated by the Spurs, but defense alone was not enough. In the end, they unfortunately lost 82:87.

    Tim Duncan's touch for the Spurs is also amazing, and he only made 3 of 14 shots In the minds of many fans, the "Stone Buddha" seems to have never been so tough, right?

    But he is not the strongest yet. "French sports car" Tony Parker made 0 of 10 shots in the game and only scored 2 points from free throws.

    Looking at Ginobili again, the "Pampas Eagle" came on as a substitute for 20 minutes and scored 7 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 steals and 1 block on 3 of 9 shots. His NBA debut was really good.

    The Kings defeated the Cavaliers without any blood. The strength gap between the two sides is indeed too big.

    Jay Williams, the new top pick of the Cavaliers, played 33 minutes and scored 13 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 steal on 6 of 9 shots. His performance was worthy of his reputation as the top pick Unfortunately, his teammates were too stretched, and the Kings were too strong.  Got it!

    However, the No. 1 pick still has flaws. He made five free throws in the game but didn't make a single one His biggest weakness has been exposed in just one game.

    In the original time and space, Jay Williams's free throws were indeed inaccurate. His career free throw shooting rate was only 64%, which is really not like the free throw shooting rate of an outside player.

    The game between the 76ers and the Magic was very intense.

    Especially small forward Keith Van Horn, who just joined the 76ers in the offseason. He made 6 of 15 shots and 7 of 11 free throws, scoring 19 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals.

    In addition, Aaron McGee also had outstanding contributions of 19 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 steals.

    However, team leader Allen Iverson obviously felt cold. He only hit 7 goals in 25 shots and missed all 3 shots from beyond the three-point line. Including free throws, he only scored 18 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals.

    McGrady, the boss of the Magic, performed much better. He made 13 of 24 shots from the field, including 2 of 5 three-pointers, 3 of 5 free throws, and scored 31 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists, and 4 blocks.

    The Magic also have a former superstar, Grant Hill. He performed very well in this game. He made 5 of 10 shots and 8 of 9 free throws. He efficiently scored 18 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists. He finally found some points.  The demeanor of "Jordan's successor" back then.

    If it weren¡¯t for that damn injury, the devil would??My mid-range shot was very good tonight!

    On the Knicks side, Alan Houston finally felt cool after experiencing a hot start. However, the Pistons' offensive momentum has already picked up.

    With Hamilton hitting a three-pointer at the buzzer, the first quarter ended and the Pistons led by 16 points at 37:21.

    Wang Dalin never made a shot after scoring 8 points in the opening game. He just frequently set up pick-and-rolls for McGinnis. Even if he received the ball, he would immediately pass it to a teammate in a better position. He sent out 5 assists in this quarter.

    At the beginning of the second quarter, Ben stepped on the foot of Knicks substitute center Tyrese Knight while fighting for a rebound. He sprained his ankle and fell to the ground.

    Although Ben didn¡¯t get up for a long time, an ankle sprain of this degree shouldn¡¯t be a big deal. It was obvious that Ben was just acting.

    But it was obvious that Knight stepped on purpose just now. Wang Dalin was so angry that he rushed forward and pushed Knight over. He pushed Knight back several steps.

    Players on the field gathered around, and the referee hurriedly blew his whistle and rushed over Perhaps feeling that he was in the wrong, Knight quietly hid behind his teammates and did not have a head-on conflict with Wang Dalin.

    "You dirty guy, you will definitely get the retribution you deserve!"

    As the referee quickly separated the players on both sides, Wang Dalin had no choice but to say a harsh word to Knight.

    The referee did not give Knight an additional foul. Instead, Wang Dalin just pushed Knight and gave him a t.

    With the help of the team doctor, Ben stood up, put his right hand on the team doctor's shoulder and limped back to the locker room Although on the surface it seemed that the sprain was not serious, it still needed to be checked carefully.

    Wang Dalin's face was as cold as ice "You despicable guys, you stepped down in the opening game, so don't blame me for being rude!" (Remember this website: www.hlnovel.com
