"Hello everyone, I'm your commentator, McGrady!”
"Today is the first preseason game of the 16-17 season!”
"The two teams are the Brukeling Nets and the Boiling City 76ers!”
"These two teams were last year's bottom and second last in the Eastern Conference.”
"Which team can win today? Let us wait and see!"
McGrady, who was wearing black-rimmed glasses, was giving his opening remarks in the commentator's booth at the Nets 'home stadium, the Harvey Center.
Next to McGrady sat his former coach, Van Gundy.
Both of them were shoutcasters now.
Although it was only a preseason game, Derrick Rose's arrival made a large number of fans come to the stadium to see the former MVP. The stadium was almost full.
"The Nets made a few drastic trades in the offseason.”
"What do you think of the new players?”
Van Gundy touched his smooth head and asked with a smile.
"There's no need to talk about Ross, who was once the most explosive defender.”
"It's a pity that his injuries have made him lose his bravery.”
"But even if he only has 60 - 70% of his strength left, Ross is still a qualified NBA starting player.”
"Other than Ross, the most famous player on the team should be Embiid!”
"This Tanhua Xiu has been injured for two years in a row and hasn't played a single game.”
"The Nets actually traded Brook Lomez, who has an average of 20 points. This is a bit of a gamble!”
"I'm quite optimistic about Lin Shuhao.”
"He's been to many teams in the past few years. Although he's not as amazing as he was at the Knicks, he's played a lot of exciting games.”
"As for Scola and Landry, they are our old friends!”
"I'm glad they can continue to play in the league.”
McGrady said with a smile.
Seeing his old friend reminded him of the good times when he had a 22-game winning streak with the Rockets.
McGrady and Van Gundy chatted again and again.
On the field, the players on both sides began warming up.
"Hey, when the game starts, pass the ball to me!”
"I want to teach that rookie called Embiid a good lesson.”
Brook Lobez said to the player beside him.
Being traded to the 76ers made him very unhappy.
He wanted to beat up Embiid, who had traded him over, and let the Nets 'management know what a brainless decision they had made.
"Embiid's strength isn't bad. Don't be careless.”
Saric reminded.
As Embiid's former teammate, Saric had more or less seen Embiid's training.
This guy was no ordinary rookie.
"Don't worry, I'm a top center with an average of 20 10 per game. How could I lose to a rookie?”
" What?" Lobez didn't take Saric's reminder to heart.
Now, the inside lane was skilled, and he had developed a three-point ability, both inside and outside.
Beat up a rookie who had never played before?
Simple!
Saric could only silently wish him well when he saw how confident he was.
On the Nets 'side, Wang Ran sat quietly on the sidelines.
As an excellent general manager, Wang Ran knew that matters on the field should be handed over to professionals.
With Old Nelson around, Wang Ran would not interfere with any details of the game.
He believed that Old Nelson would have his own judgment.
Old Nelson was also very satisfied with Wang Ran.
Previously, when he was with the Mavericks, his boss, Brian Cooper, had a strong desire to control the team.
It was undeniable that he was a good boss who was dedicated to the team.
But it would make Nelson, the manager, feel very uncomfortable.
Old Nelson liked a general manager like Wang Ran who could completely let go and not interfere with the matters on the field.
The match was about to begin.
The starting players walked onto the field one after another.
The starting lineup for the Nets was Embiid, Scola, Covington, Lin Shuhao, and Rose.
This was currently the strongest starting lineup in the Nets.
On the 76ers 'side, it was Lopes, Ilyasawa, Saric, Okafor, and Shawn.
Unfortunately, their top scorer, Simmons, was injured and would miss the entire season.
Otherwise, the 76ers would have a chance of returning to the playoffs.
The players from both teams stood in their respective positions on the field.
The ones responsible for the jump ball were Embiid and Lobéz.
The two of them got into position and were ready to jump at any time.
