Chapter 61 The first game of the regular season
Jiang Dongbing, who is familiar with any history of NBA, and with the assistance of the system, is confident to say this.
It’s really nothing that can be hidden from Jiang Dongbing, whether it happened or not.
Jackson, not far away, was immediately excited after hearing Jiang Dongbing's words. He knew better than anyone else that Jiang Dongbing had absolutely not spoken loudly.
"Guys, if you knew the coach earlier, you probably wouldn't have the hellish expressions now."
"He is really an omniscient and omnipotent existence!"
"Let me say that, just after the draft was over, he had already guessed that the start date of our season was early February. Do you dare to believe it?!" Jackson said with a big mouth and offering treasures.
His words even more frightened Bilups and Mobri. Where did this monster come from? He could even guess the end date of the Labor Payroll negotiation?!
The other players on the scene were also shocked. Can you guess this?
Even the most professional industry insiders would never have thought that the level of difficulty of this negotiation would be discussed until the end of January. Not to mention any professionals, even Stern would not know that this would be the case.
As a result, Jiang Dongbing, who had just entered the NBA alliance, could guess it? I'm afraid this is not a personal talent!
Rahim felt more and more happy. With such a magical coach, the team's soft power can at least be improved a lot!
Stewart is a good person, but definitely not a good coach. Later, Brian Hill didn't even say a good coach, he was not even a good person.
Rahim feels that the Grizzlies' spring is really coming. With so many tiger and wolf generals, and with such an omniscient and versatile coach as Jiang Dongbing, how can the team's record be poor?
...
"Coach, then who do you think is suitable for starting the game?" Mobri asked in fear after a long time.
Jiang Dongbing nodded and smiled, "Of course it's Changxi. I have set up training goals for you, but Changxi has completed more. Do you think I shouldn't let Changxi start?"
Mobri shook his head quickly, "Absolutely not, I also think Chauncey should start."
He was completely suppressed by Jiang Dongbing, so he dared not express any doubts about Jiang Dongbing.
"Very good, Changxi, from now on you will be the starting number one position for our Grizzlies."
"Don't be proud. If you slacken in training, I'm happy to let Cartino squeeze out your starting position." Jiang Dongbing said coldly.
Billups' expression is extremely unnatural, don't be proud? What else can you be proud of when you play the starter? You are the starter...
"I am also happy to squeeze out Changxi's starter, coach, and I will definitely work harder in the future training." Mobri took the opportunity to express his loyalty and smiled foolishly at Jiang Dongbing.
"Okay, don't talk nonsense, play another training match now!"
"In the game against the Raptors tomorrow night, I hope to declare the entire league with a big victory. We, the Grizzlies, have completely stood up!" Jiang Dongbing yelled at the players.
The generals did not dare to delay and immediately returned to the training ground and devoted themselves to the new round of training matches.
...
"Jiang, are you nervous?" Less than two hours left before the Grizzlies' first game in the new season, the team's general manager Stewart asked Jiang Dongbing with concern.
He was really afraid of losing. At the start of each season, he was full of confidence and believed that the Grizzlies lineup he adjusted could show their strength.
As a result, after a few games, the Grizzlies were beaten into a bear by their opponents. Stewart is now frightened when the start of the season.
"Mr. Jackson, please rest assured."
"If you want to play a super powerful like the Jazz or the Lakers, then I can't give you a guarantee of winning."
"But now we are fighting against the Raptors, and we have to win you a victory no matter what we say." Jiang Dongbing said confidently.
Stewart was already a little more terrified, but he was still worried and afraid that he would be abused in the first game of the season, so there would be no hope for this season again.
...
"Guys, tonight is not only our first season, but also the career debut of many of you."
"If you want to leave no regrets, then use all your strength to win the Raptors!" Before the game started, Jiang Dongbing stood on the sidelines and began to mobilize the players.
The Grizzlies' starting lineup this year is indeed a bit amazing. Except for Christie, all the other four people have not passed the rookie contract period.
"Doudu!" The referee whistled, signaling the starting players of both sides to start the stage.
Fans at the scene applauded and cheered. Although the Grizzlies have the lowest attendance team in the league today, they also have an average of more than 13,000 spectators per game.
The Grizzlies' lineup has been adjusted very much this season, which has also made fans feel a little hope. Perhaps this year's Grizzlies will make a difference.
Jiang Dongbing sat off the field and looked carefully at the Raptors' starting lineup.
Although it is a brother in distress, the Raptors' lineup in the past few years was much better than the Grizzlies. Even if the Raptors are now, they are quite competitive only if they look at the lineup.
The two inside players are Evergreen Kevin Willis and Old Oak Charles Oakley.
Both of them were famous figures in the league at their peak. Willis was selected into the All-Star lineup, and was selected into the third team of the best team. He also had an amazing performance of 33 rebounds in a single game in his career.
The reason why he is called an evergreen is mainly because Willis's career is really long. Last season, he was with the Rockets and was able to score 16 points and 8.4 rebounds per game at the age of 34.
And Willis will also be the second oldest player in NBA history in the future, and he did not retire until he was 45 years old.
Power forward Oakley Oakley is even more famous in the league, but it is all notorious. This is a real evil guy. The players dare to say bad things about Stern behind their backs, but they never dare to say bad things about Oakley. He really dares to beat people up.
Yao Ming's comment on Oakley was that he had more fights than playing basketball, especially when Old Oak played for the New York Knicks a few years ago, the New York gangsters could be called a full of evil deeds.
This old New York ghost is simply a nightmare for many NBA players...
But if you really want to fight, Oakley is actually somewhat similar to Jackson. Most of his actions are to protect his teammates. For example, the fight with kidney fighter Morning in New York a few years ago was to protect his teammate Larry Johnson.
Of course, the aunt actually doesn't need Oakley to protect her, because Mo Ning, who had used a set of combination punches before, could not fight back at all.
The fight also staged a classic NBA scene. Knicks coach Jeff Van Gundy hugged Mourning's thigh to protect his players.
Jiang Dongbing felt that Van Gundy said he was protecting his own players, but in fact, it was almost the same to protect Mo Ning. When Mo Ning faced the aunt and the old oak, he might be beaten into a pig's head.
Interestingly, Old Oak actually had a passionate relationship with Martial Saint Jackson. Later, in the big3 league that emerged, the two were in the same team, and Old Oak also served as the team's coach.
