Chapter 35 New teammates and the first game
On November 2, 2007, tomorrow is the first regular season game of the Clippers. Domestic media pay close attention to the two brothers. Because the two performed well in the summer league and preseason, the American media also commented on the two well. Many media believe that the two brothers are capable of entering the All-Star rookie competition.
High attention means great pressure. NBA players must learn to relieve stress. Ji Guoqiu's way of reducing stress for himself is to play games and watch movies.
There are two hosts in the living room of the apartment, PS3 and XOBX, and there is a high-end computer in the room, plus the PSP2000 on the table. He is a master of all models in his life, and he no longer has to be called "host dog" or "PC dog" or other things...
"I said, the woman you beat that day is really a singer. Look, they are on TV." Ji Guochou turned on the TV and found that the new singer reported in it looked very similar to the girl who was killed twice in the bar that day by Ji Guomo.
"I knew it a few days ago, I had a photo of her to vent my hatred! Remember not to mention her to me in the future. Now I have to go to the community to serve. Those bastards actually asked me to take out the garbage and repair the lawns for others. The most hateful thing is to wash public toilets. The bastards assigned to work must be Lakers fans, they are simply bastards!"
Ji Guomeng gets angry when he mentions this woman. He has to wash public toilets later. Whenever he thinks of this, he will be angry: "I have millions of dollars a year, tens of millions of dollars in the future. The NBA's tomorrow star, a genius who has reached the peak of his life in the future, is now going to wash the toilet for others?"
※※※※※
The Clippers' first regular season opponent is the Golden State Warriors in the last game of the preseason.
The game time of the two teams is scheduled at 19:30 pm and 10:30 am Beijing time.
CCTV5's broadcast schedule this year is to be 1:2:3:4, that is, the Lakers account for 10%, the Clippers account for 20%, the Bucks 30%, and the Rockets 40%, and then there is nothing else to do with other teams.
Today, the Clippers' game happened to be in the CCTV5 broadcast plan. The Rockets, Magic, and Lakers have all broadcasted it, and only the twin brothers have not appeared on the stage.
Sun Yue won’t say it for now, because although the Great Sage was selected by the Lakers, he has not really entered the NBA yet, so 10% of the Lakers given by CCTV was considered useless.
The Milwaukee Bucks game No. 1 has already started, and they are two days ahead of the Clippers.
Space Yi is no worse than the two brothers. He was able to play first in the first game and attracted 100 million domestic ratings, which directly scared the Bucks management and made the Clippers' stingy boss Donald Sterling.
Of course, this rating is purely a fool of Americans in China, and a rating of 100 million is simply boring!
In the 25-minute game, Space Yi scored 9 points (4 of 5 shots, 1 of 4 free throws), 3 rebounds, 3 turnovers, and 6 fouls graduation. This data is a relatively excellent result for a rookie, except for too many fouls.
The two brothers also watched the game at home and saw the performance of their compatriots. Like Yao Ming, who was in the "rookie" stage at the time, "first-year freshman" Yi Jianlian was also more "careful" by the referees.
In the Clippers' locker room, there is only half an hour left before the game time. They will hold the home team entrance ceremony later. Today is the Clippers' home court, and the game is held in the "Staples Arena".
Their new teammates, Artest, Garcia and Rahim, have joined the team. In the past few days, the three of them have already dealt with the issue of accommodation. Artai has bought a house in Los Angeles and is ready to clean up and invite his teammates to have a dinner together.
In this deal, Mageti and Carman were both frustrated. They were unwilling to leave the Clippers, nor were they willing to leave Los Angeles. However, the team traded and they had to pack up their burdens and leave.
Artest of the Kings is the happiest. His contract expires in 2009. Playing in a big city like Los Angeles will give him more attention. As long as he performs well, the attention will be equivalent to his salary. At that time, he can seek a larger contract or sign another long contract.
Garcia's trade against him, An Zhiruosu, is his third season. The older rookie in the Kings was not reused in the first two seasons. It was just a substitute who connected to the main lineup. He didn't play for him anywhere.
Rahim, a former All-Star veteran born in 1976 and seriously injured countless times, has already been overwhelmed with his knee joint. He just joined the Clippers for the first time in the team training, and was shot in his knee and was reimbursed for the season!
Fortunately, Old Dunleavy had no intention of reusing him in the morning, and just waited for the last year to expire and then threw away the glass man.
In the new season, Dunleavy has decided to play the double tower tactics, and the team's tactics will revolve around the two brothers of the Ji family. Among them, Ji Guoqiu is the key to the key. The coach plans to train him to be a Duncan-style center, with strong high-level support, excellent low-post singles ability, and accurate mid-range shooting. The defense and rebounding cannot be thrown. This is to train him as an all-round superstar. If you say it, you will make sure that you will laugh out a lot of people's big teeth.
As for the younger brother Ji Guoqiu, old Dunleavy temporarily decided to train him as Nowitzki. If they were successfully trained in the end, Duncan + Nowitzki-style combination will make the picture too beautiful to watch!
After Artest arrived at the Clippers, he soon learned about the team's idea. The beast did not attempt to challenge the status of the two brothers. This guy was not as scheming as he appeared. Yesterday he planned to invite the two brothers to go to a nightclub together to cultivate his relationship.
Ji Guoqiu never likes to go to that kind of place, so he naturally declined. Ji Guomi was still scared of things like "night club". When he heard the word "night club", he couldn't help but tremble. The first thing he thought of in his mind was washing the toilet and sweeping the toilet. It was so terrible...
Old Dunleavy finished setting up today's tactics, and saw that the time was about the same. After a cough, the players immediately stopped communicating with each other. They knew that the coach was going to mobilize before the game, and they all stood up and prepared to listen to the leader's speech.
"I won't say much nonsense. People outside this season don't like us. They say we are the deputy squad leader of the fish. The team management is very unhappy now, so who dares to be lazy and tricky today? Don't think about playing this month."
Old Dunleavy actually threatened directly, which scared the players, especially Ji Guomo, who was just about to be lazy on the defensive end, was immediately guilty. There was always a feeling that the coach said this to him.
"Now that the starting list is announced, I still say the same thing. If you want to continue the starting lineup, then give me all your strength. If you don't just want to start this game?"
As soon as Old Dunleavy finished speaking, Ji Guomomiya's neck shrank. Why did he feel that this was said to him again?
"Sam Cassel, Katino Mobri, Ron Artest, Ji Guohuo"
The old coach announced the starting list, and then looked at Ji Guomo intentionally or unintentionally. This made the latter tremble and his neck became cold.
"Damn, why do I feel like this old guy is always staring at me? He isn't an old butt?"
Artest came up at this time and said with a smile: "This is the first time I played with the twins with two little guys. Until now, I can't tell who is your brother? Who is your younger brother? But I think today's game must be very interesting." After saying that, this guy who bullies the weak and is afraid of the strong and dares to play against Ben Wallace, but is very good at playing fans, takes the initiative to extend his hand to the two.
The two brothers immediately reached out and fisted gently with the new teammate, then slapped twice again, and then the guy ran to get close to the other teammates...
"Boss, this guy is not as reckless as the fans think, it's interesting." Ji Guomori said in his heart as he looked at Artest's back.
"What's the meaning?"
"Idiot, you're so embarrassed to be your brother. Didn't you notice that he was the first to greet us with a high-five?"
Ji Guochou now understood and said in his heart: "You should put your intelligence on the court."
Ji Guomo couldn't help rolling his eyes: "You should be your brother, I can't tell you when you are right!"
