"Are you alright, newbie?"
Wade appeared behind him and asked with a smile.
"Uh, it's nothing!"
Lu Yi shook his head and laughed at his own thoughts. He wanted to leave and continue warming up. Wade quietly looked at him and then at the area where the boos were coming from. He instantly understood his distress.
Wade put his arm around Lu Yi's shoulder and said seriously,""We can't help you with these boos. You can only rely on your own strength to conquer them and prove yourself worthy of the jersey you're wearing.”
"It's that simple!"
Lu Yi nodded and smiled, accepting his explanation.
The game was about to begin. The coaches of both teams began to take out their tactical boards and lay out their tactical tasks for the first game.
The coaches on both sides were young white coaches. Among all the coaches in the league, they were considered the younger generation. Both of them were players. The only difference was that Steven did not have the talent and strength to enter the NBA and ended his career early.
He became famous by coaching Butler University and leading the team to the finals for two consecutive years. In 2013, he was hired by the Boston Celtics as the head coach.
Hoyberg, on the other hand, entered the league in the 1995 draft. He played for the Pacers, Bulls, and Timberwolves, and was the three-point champion in the 04/05 season. In 2006, he announced his retirement due to injury and joined the coaching industry. He was also hired as the head coach of the Chicago Bulls last season because of his outstanding performance as a coach at the NCAA's University of Pennsylvania.
However, unlike Stephen, who was praised as a genius coach and tactical master by many players and coaches in the league, Hoyberg's coaching style was slightly mediocre. Last season, he led Ross, Butler, Gasol, and others to only get 42 wins and 40 losses, which was rejected by the playoffs.
However, Stephen had led the young Green Army to advance year by year until they reached the finals of the Eastern Conference. From his first season as a coach of the Celtics, he had 25 wins and 57 losses, to 48 wins and 34 losses last season. He had entered the playoffs with the fifth-best record in the Eastern Conference, only to lose to the fourth-best team in the Eastern Conference, the Atlanta Hawks, with a score of 2:4 in the first round.
At this moment, Stephen, who had the reputation of being a 'tactical master', and Hoiberg, who was four years older and had no outstanding coaching style, were sent into the starting lineup for the new season.
The Celtics 'lineup consisted
of Thomas Jr., who was 175cm tall
, Bradley, who was 188 cm tall,
Jay Claude, who was 198cm
tall, Earl Horford, who was 208cm tall,
and Amir John, who was 206cm tall.
The lineup of the Bulls consisted of
Rajen Rondo at 85 cm,
Dwyane Wade at 193cm,
Jimmy Butler at 201cm,
Nikola Mirorotic at 208cm,
and Robin Lopes at 213cm.
The main players of both teams entered the field and were about to kick off. As a member of the substitutes 'bench, Lu Yi looked calmly into the field, but he was a little nervous.
It was his career. What was happening in front of him was his first NBA regular season game. He didn't know if this match was being broadcasted live in the country, but he couldn't wait to play.
Just as he was eager to try, the match began.
With Robin's height and wingspan, the Bulls took the lead in getting the ball.
Rondo dribbled the ball across the court and passed it to Wade. The latter, under the cover of Mirotic, feigned a few steps and passed it to Butler at the corner.
Butler glanced at the basket and dribbled back and forth. When Jay Claude was ready to get close, he rushed in and reached the free-throw line in two or three steps. Horford was agile and fast, and he instantly made up for the defense, forcing Butler to pass the ball to Wade, who received the ball and pulled it straight away.
"Swoosh!"
The first attack was scored by Wade.
The offensive and defensive switched. On the sidelines, Steven made a tactical gesture to his own disciples on the field. Little Thomas took a look, understood, and quickly broke through with the ball. He was the shortest in the game and the fastest. In the blink of an eye, he was under the basket.
Wade desperately chased after him and finally blocked him under the basket. However, he passed the ball and gave it to Horford with his right hand.
Unfortunately, perhaps because the latter was too fast, the basketball was not caught well and the coordination was wrong.
This mistake, Steven frowned but did not say anything. He glanced at Lu Yi on the Bulls bench and sighed to himself.
It was a bit of a pity that the Knicks had signed him first and sent him to the opponent in front of him. He thought to himself.
As early as the summer league, he had noticed Lu Yi. He had watched the recordings of the latter's three games. Just like Hoyberg, he had taken a fancy to Lu Yi's talent and ability.
Unfortunately, the New York Knicks took the lead in signing the other party and sent him to the Chicago Bulls as an addition to the deal, which made him feel annoyed for a while.
He was upset that he and the team's management did not act quickly enough, allowing the Chicago Bulls to take advantage of them.
For someone like Lu Yi, who hadn't participated in the talent show and wasn't famous before, who even popped out of nowhere, whoever could pick him up would make a huge profit. However, they were too late and the Bulls took advantage of them.
The young Green Army seemed to have a good lineup. Each of them was young and talented, and their offensive ability was comprehensive. However, there was a hidden danger. Thomas Jr., who was at the number one position, had more than enough offense and insufficient defense. The latter's height was a huge shortcoming in the competition. They had to specially arrange for someone to clean up his mess.
Lu Yi's three-ball game had been analyzed in detail for a long time. He believed that if the other team came to his team, not only would they be able to provide support in defense, but they would also be a very good attacker. They seemed to be more impressive than Thomas.
At least he didn't have to constantly worry about Thomas's lack of height.
They also had a very talented Jaylen Brown on the bench, but he was also a rookie like Lu Yi and needed more games to grow. Regardless, he felt that it was a waste for Lu Yi to stay on the Bulls 'bench.
(It's almost dawn. I'm asking for flowers and comments. Give me some tips!)） "Are you alright, newbie?"
Wade appeared behind him and asked with a smile.
