At 3 p.m. Eastern Time, the defending champions Bulls and Rockets started the first game of the season's regular season, kicking off the new season.

The Rockets introduced Divac and the depth of the inside was improved, but at the beginning of the new season, Olajuwon's decline was clearly exposed.

With only 8 of 18 shots in the game, Olajuwon only scored 19 points and 8 rebounds, Drexler's decline was even more obvious, with only 3 of 11 shots in the game, and with 4 of 4 free throws, he only scored 10 points and 4 assists.

However, Divac, who is considered to be "enhanced depth", played an All-Star performance, made 9 of 16 shots, 4 of 5 free throws, and scored 22 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists, which helped the Rockets with a good performance for a while.

But in the third quarter, the Rockets were defeated by the Bulls. Their two top 50 superstars performed poorly, and two of the three top 50 superstars on the opposite side performed very well.

The Bulls continued their super performance in the third quarter and secured the victory in the third quarter.

On the other hand, when the defending champion Bulls' Championship Ring Awards Night Battle reached the fourth quarter, when the suspense was lost, the Madison Square Garden visiting team player channel and Lakers players were about to appear.

Zhang Hao stood at the entrance of the player's passage and looked at the court of the basketball holy land...

The second time he came here to play basketball, he was still excited.

For a professional basketball player, it is always special and I want to come here to play once a game every year.

Playing here is a supreme glory... as long as you are not a Knicks player.

When the Knicks have a good record, the fans still support them and are very enthusiastic. Just like in recent years, they have reached the finals and have more stars. This summer, they have signed a contract of more than 100 million US dollars in total. The new season is about to begin, with a total salary of 30 million US dollars, but their total salary next season will be higher than that of the Bulls, which has an annual salary of 30.14 million US dollars. Even if they do nothing in the next offseason, their salary will reach 57 million US dollars next season. The lineup that has been spent on so much money looks extremely beautiful.

Chris Chiles, Alan Houston, Larry Johnson, Charles Oakley, Ewing, so strong!

However, when encountering certain special players, unless they have just won the championship, they will definitely be backfired.

At the earliest, this situation occurred in the 1950s, when New York's news reports on basketball were the most famous title called "McCann vs Knicks".

There are some things, only 0 times and countless times. When the first appearance, New York basketball fans let themselves go. Anyone who has a star performs in New York and beats them to the point where they don’t want them will turn against the fans on the scene... Except for Reggie Miller.

Now, the Lakers players are about to appear. The fans on the scene have no time to watch the performance of the hot cheerleaders. Facing the Lakers, which has 3 top 50 superstars, the fans on the scene have already started booing wildly before the Lakers players have appeared.

However, while the booing was filled with the sound of "X" and "Gint Gate" that could be heard clearly.

Just when Zhang Hao was listening to the booing + calling his English name or nickname was very interesting, Erpang came to him: "Aix, are you the first or the last one?"

The first? The last?

Looking at the Knicks staff next to him, Zhang Hao realized the order of appearance.

Originally, in order to make O'Neal play happily, Zhang Hao decided not to compete for the first appearance or the top-up appearance, so that O'Neal and Barkley would compete happily.

But now O'Neal is injured... Zhang Hao replied: "The first one."

Barkley nodded and filled in the appearance order form and handed it to the Knicks staff.

This kind of thing should have been decided from the beginning. Some games may not necessarily have appearance ceremonies, but there must be opening games. The staff confirmed to the other three Lakers starting players except Zhang Hao and Barkley in the order of appearance, and quickly left and handed them to the DJ on the scene with the appearance order. George Lynch and Doug Christie were fine. A new point guard stared at the player's passage and his eyes were straightened...

Soon, at 5:10 pm, the cheerleading performance ended, and everyone evacuated the stadium. The debris left during the opening jersey broadcast session on the court were packed up. After the floor was mopped, the lights on the scene dimmed and the spotlight hit the entrance of the visiting team players' passage.

Magicians and Jeromy Colsey took the lead in running out of the player's lane and stood on both sides.

The 50 superstars are on the bench, except for Robert Parish, who defended the Bulls, the only Lakers are treated. Moreover, this 50 superstar is still the top five in history!

O'Neal, wearing a suit, also came to the player's passage. The spotlight was inevitable, and it was also the part where he showed his "boss charm".

Seeing these two, the fans on the scene booed violently!

The booing had just begun to fall, and DJ's low voice sounded: "Welcome, Aix of the Los Angeles Lakers..."

In a simple introduction, what DJ wants is the fans on the scene to boo. Indeed, the boo that had just begun to fall immediately increased again, but it was accompanied by cheers and screams, and even overshadowed the boo!

“X…X…X…X…”

Amid the cheers of fans at the scene, last year, scored 60 points here and broke the rookie's single-game scoring record, creating the first super star with 60+ triple-double in NBA history, allowing loyal New York fans to decisively backfire!

O'Neal was envious and jealous when he watched this scene, but there was nothing he could do about some things. Last year, he noticed Zhang Hao because the Knicks didn't give him the ball tickets on the night of his birthday and then angrily slaughtered the Knicks.

O'Neal has always treated Zhang Hao as a player of the same level, otherwise he would have thoughtless without any effect.

"I decided! From now on, I will go to a team to ask for tickets on my birthday every year! If I don't give it to me, I will press them to play next time I fight!"

Zhang Hao stood aside with his teammates with a cold expression, including O'Neal who turned his head over while slamming his high fives.

DJ's voice sounded again: "Next, welcome the 50 superstars, Charles Barkley..."

I seemed a little excited when I heard the DJ's voice, and there were tremoloes. Zhang Hao felt that this DJ might be a fan of Erpang... eh?

It seems something is wrong!

Watching Barkley run out and high-five with his teammates, watching the two rows of teammates out there were O'Neal and the Magician, then the last one...

The others didn't think anything at first, but when O'Neal ran out, the three Lakers' top 50 superstars were all outside the player channel, and Zhang Hao was the first to come out, so the last one to play...

Then George Lynch and Doug Christie appeared.

Finally, with the introduction that DJ had no emotions, Kenny Anderson appeared.

When Zhang Hao appeared, the emotions of the fans at the scene reached a climax. Whether it was booing or cheering, they had reached the boiling point. After Barkley came out, the fans first booed and then reacted - these two have come out, who is behind?

As a result, when the three Lakers' last starters came out, the booing became less and less. By the time Kenny Anderson appeared, the enthusiasm of fans at the scene to boo the Lakers at the beginning was almost exhausted.

Kenny Anderson, who appeared on the stage, numbly clapped his teammates with his high fives, and his mood was extremely messy - why did it become like this?

At the end of the appearance ceremony, Kenny Anderson was trying to calm down when a high school student suddenly appeared: "Boss Kenny, we have to rely on you!"

Looking at Zhang Hao, who usually has no expression, rarely smiled and looked at him with sincere eyes. Kenny Anderson responded numbly: "I thank you..."

...

After the Knicks players entered the court, first of all, four top 50 superstars on the scene took a photo together.

Zhang Hao looked at O'Neal in a suit and three other 50 superstars in a jersey.

At this moment, he realized how much he wanted to stand with them...

However, it would be better to stand far this time. O'Neal wanted to take revenge on him after the entrance ceremony, but he avoided one by one with his flexible move.

Zhang Hao was envious, and Alan Houston came to Zhang Hao: "Aix, don't care, you're just a little bit lucky. You entered the NBA a year earlier, and O'Neal's position is yours!"

He looked like a senior who was guiding the country. Those who didn't know thought that Alan Houston was also selected into the Top 50.

But after so long contact, Zhang Hao knew that Alan Houston just likes to be a "senior", especially seeing him, Zhang, who is 19 years old.

Zhang Hao replied: "Well, I must be there."

Zhang Hao's confidence, Alan Houston has become accustomed to it, and said, "I originally thought I was going to Los Angeles to play basketball with you. I had been looking forward to it for a long time. It's a pity. Fortunately, I finally came to New York. The salary was even higher and it was OK... By the way, I heard that you bought another sports car? How did you buy the Ferrari 1997 F355 that will be released next year? How much does it cost? I'm just over 2 million yuan in salary a year, and I can buy several cars every year."

"Uh... If you are in New York, Alan, you can buy more houses! Just buy one or two cars and drive them. I am also planning to buy a few more houses in Los Angeles, which will definitely increase in a few years..."

Zhang Hao remembers that the era of the Internet bubble has passed, and it is the era of the real estate bubble in the United States. After another year or two, the peak of the Internet bubble, many people will cash out for investment in the Internet. Even in New York and Los Angeles, when a large number of homeowners sell houses together to engage in the Internet, housing prices will inevitably fall. Then it will be the time for him to buy it, and then take action before 2006...

The topic seemed to be disbanded, and Zhang Hao pulled the topic back: "My car was given by Ferrari at the beginning of the training camp. I endorsed them and confiscated any endorsement fees. They would give me one when they had a new car."

“…”

It's really annoying! Alan Houston once again understood why Zhang Hao was so hateful.

In such a plain tone, the sponsors gave away cars every year... Let's talk about buying a house. Alan Houston ignored the problem of losing the car and said, "I also want to buy a house, where is the best place to buy?"

"Just just a house close to your stadium. Houses near the school are fine. The house prices are expensive and they will rise a lot in the future. You don't have to worry about selling them. If you buy a remote house, you can't sell them when the price increases in the future. It's just that there is a price but there is no market..."

...

I don’t know why I discussed buying a house before the game. At 5:28, the two teams started.

After applying magnesium powder, Zhang Hao looked at Chiles, who was 84 abilities evaluated, Alan Houston, who was 86 abilities evaluated, Charles Oakley, who was 78 abilities evaluated, Larry Johnson, who was 90 abilities evaluated, and Ewing who was 93 abilities evaluated...

The strongest person on the field is their Lakers' Barkley!

Point guards, they also have an advantage. The Nets' starting lineup and substitute were about to fight, and both of them were very excited.

However, in addition to the new arrivals Chiles, Alan Houston and some substitutes, the Knicks' most unhappy player is Zhang Hao, a super star who was crazy about humiliating them here last year.

In addition, the cheers from some fans at the scene also made the old players of the Knicks feel extra harsh!

Ewing came to the central circle with strong hostility, and suddenly felt something was wrong...

Zhang Hao's latest updated height data is 203.4 cm in bare feet and 206 cm in wearing shoes.

When preparing for the game, Ewing noticed this, and his registered height is 213 cm in a shoe.

But when standing in the middle circle, Ewing found that his sight was almost the same as the cold-faced sophomore player on the opposite side!

Are you wearing sneakers or high heels?

Too much!

At 5:30, the referee blew the whistle at the beginning of the game and threw the ball into the air...

The game begins! Zhang Hao bounces up quickly and touches the ball first!

The Knicks were prepared for a long time. Chiles, Oakley and Larry Johnson organized Zhang Hao, Barkley and George Lynch's fast break in the opening game, and Ewing also retreated to the basket.

When Kenny Anderson passed the ball to Doug Christie who followed the sideline, Alan Houston had already defended himself. Although he was not good at defending, Doug Christie could break through directly, but they are currently 4-for-5. Doug Christie dribbled away from the three-point line, waiting for Kenny Anderson to come and pass it back.

Zhang Hao started running, and he clearly felt that after the Knicks head coach changed from old Nelson to Jeff Van Gundy, there was obvious improvement in the defensive end!

In particular, the opponent attaches great importance to his defense. He can feel that even if he runs out of the opportunity to catch the ball, the opponent's second person will be filled in time and will not give him the opportunity to catch the ball and shoot easily.

Since this is the case, Zhang Hao decisively chose to restrain himself and went to the weak side bottom line to open up the space when it was close to the three-point line.

Kenny Anderson originally wanted Zhang Hao to start the singles, but when he saw Zhang Hao open the space, he would find someone else. Doug Christie was honestly on the left sideline, George Lynch... Ignore it, Kenny Anderson was about to find Barkley, but he saw that Barkley's movements were similar to George Lynch, leaning against Charles Oakley on the left side of the three-second zone, facing the basket, which was ready to rob at any time!
To be continued...
