I am so Accurate

The China game in the capital station attracted more attention than the Guangzhou station, and the competition was more intense than the Guangzhou station.

The Mavericks' bench showed instability in Game 2.

After the whole game, Howard and Daniels only scored 10 points together.

This is also a reasonable thing.

No matter how good Howard and Daniels are, their stability cannot be compared with Bodi Loga and old Curry.

This is also a problem that Johnson needs to solve in the new season.

The good news is that this is only preseason, and there is still a long season for him to adjust.

But in this kind of game, Yi Jianlian once again performed amazingly, and he scored 17 points and 7 rebounds again!

Although it was only a preseason match, the performance in these two games was already completely worthy of being the No. 5 pick of the Platinum Generation.

After the China game, both teams returned to the United States to continue their preseason journey.

Although the changes in the lineup made the team's stability slightly worse than last season, the Mavericks' strength in the preseason is still very strong.

In contrast, the performance of the Lakers F4 has some ups and downs.

Especially Kobe, and that feud between Kobe and O'Neal.

This past summer has been extremely difficult for Kobe.

He was approved for arrest, and then he denied the crime in court, and then his wife Vasani had a miscarriage, but she still stood by him and unswervingly supported him.

Until now, the Eagle County incident has not ended, and he has to cooperate with the investigation basically every other day, so one can imagine his personal state.

And the phrase "Shaq did it too" that he said in the summer made him and O'Neal completely break.

It was just an OK combination that seemed to fit together before, but this season has basically had zero communication.

This situation also made the outside world re-examine the strength of the Lakers and the possibility of the Mavericks defending the title.

It is even impossible to predict who will win the championship this season.

This is definitely the most intricate season of the decade.

In this context, the curtain of the NBA2003~2004 season kicked off.

The Mavericks opener against... the Nuggets.

Stern's schedule will definitely not let fans down.

After James said in the draft that he wanted to challenge Sun Hao, the schedule has already been arranged.

Coupled with the huge contracts signed by James, Nike, Sun Hao and Adidas in the summer, No. 23 vs. No. 95 has become a match that fans have been looking forward to.

There is no such thing as step-by-step, and the most exciting one will be arranged for you at the beginning of the competition!

This game, according to ESPN's "You Most Want to Watch Opener" survey, got a full 80% of the votes.

The much-anticipated game.

Here I want to mention the operation of the Nuggets this summer.

In this year in history, the Nuggets signed the former Clippers "Karen Karen" Andre Miller in the free market and used him to partner with Anthony.

Anthony is a scorer, coupled with Miller as a passer, the two are very compatible, and they also made the playoffs this year in history.

But now history has changed, Miller also failed to come to the Nuggets.

The reason is also very simple. James' technical characteristics are completely different from Anthony's. One is good at rushing and the other is good at shooting. The management will naturally consider it when signing people.

The Nuggets' current choice is to use a three-year, 25 million contract to recruit Jason Terry from the former Eagles.

Terry averaged 17.2 points and 7.4 assists per game for the Hawks last season, but his shooting percentage was only 42.8%. He is not an efficient guard.

Coupled with his height of only 1.88 meters but his playing style of shooting guard, he encountered difficulties when he renewed his contract with the Eagles in the summer.

The Eagles were only willing to give out a three-year, $22.5 million contract, and in the end the Nuggets signed him with a slightly more lucrative contract.

The Nuggets have the same motivation for signing Miller in history.

What they fancy is Terry's three-point shooting rate of close to 40% in the past three seasons, and an average production of 2 per game.

Such an outside scorer obviously matches James very well.

As for the organization, Terry is just partial to scoring, and James can fully share this burden.

In addition to Terry, the management also signed the original veteran player Wash Leonard.

This person is also a three-point shooter, and he participated in the three-point contest and won the championship this year in history.

It can be said that compared with the management of the Cavaliers in the same period in history, the ability of the Nuggets is definitely a level better.

This also makes the Nuggets Zhan look taller than the Cavaliers Zhan.

That night, the National Airline Center was already full of seats early.

Aside from the much-watched game itself, tonight is a special day for Dallas fans.

Because the opening game is also the night when the defending champion presents the championship ring and raises the championship banner!

"Sun, here comes your challenger."

When the locker room was getting ready, Nowitzki said with a smile while rubbing the skin of his feet.

"It's a pity that Dejan went back to Europe."

Sun Hao didn't seem to care too much, but felt a little regretful that Bodi Loga and James couldn't take the top position.

Speaking of which, the two play styles are really similar.

Nowitzki laughed after listening.

Sun Hao's mentality really couldn't be more stable.

By the time the Mavericks players came out of the tunnel, the fans had already stood up and applauded.

Although more than four months have passed since winning the championship, the night of the championship is still like yesterday, and that glory has always been in my heart.

James looked up at this moment to look at the atmosphere around him.

He also saw such a scene on the night the Mavericks won the championship.

The only difference is that he was still a high school student at that time, but now he has set foot on the NBA court.

Playing against the defending champions in the first regular season of his career is... good.

Defeating Sun Hao, and by the way defeating the defending champion, such a scenario, for him, the chosen one, couldn't be better!

Shortly after the Mavericks players entered the scene, the scene soon began the championship award ceremony.

The lights of the arena hit the center of the court, where the championship rings belonging to the Mavericks are already filled.

Of course, there are more than 15 pieces.

In addition to the members of the Mavericks, the team's coaching staff and management will get their championship rings.

But these rings are not all the same.

Only the management, coaching staff and players who played in the finals will get "custom rings" with their names engraved on them.

The rest of the people got no names.

The first championship in the history of the Mavericks, Cuban, who has always spent a lot of money, is naturally not stingy.

The total cost of the championship ring this time exceeded 1.2 million U.S. dollars, because the number is not large, and the value of each ring is more than 40,000 U.S. dollars.

Don't think this ring is cheap, this is the beginning of the century, and Cuban's investment in the ring has already been the best in history.

Under the light, two rows of rings reflected dazzling light.

The front of the ring is densely covered with white diamonds, and the Mavericks icon outlined in the middle is also filled with white diamonds.

The remaining gaps are filled with blue diamonds.

It really embodies the word "trench".

Moreover, Cuban also fulfilled the promise he made at the beginning. Under each ring, there is a gold-plated mouse.

Send one get one free, this is also the first of its kind in the NBA championship awards ceremony.

After everything was ready, the award ceremony officially began.

The team management that accepts the ring first, then the coaching staff, and finally the players.

Old Nelson is now accompanying Annie in Europe, and young Nelson has received his ring on his behalf.

There are also some players who have left the team this season, those who are still playing in the NBA, will be awarded before the game between the two sides, and those who have retired will be sent privately.

This is also a practice of awarding championship rings.

The first player to win the championship ring was Sun Hao.

When his name was called on the scene, Nowitzki, Bell and others behind him pushed him out directly.

Sun Hao's contribution in the finals of last season is obvious to all, and it is only natural that he was the first to go up to receive the award.

"congratulations."

Stern said when he gave the ring to Sun Hao.

"It's a great start."

And after the congratulations, I added a sentence by the way.

This sentence has a lot of meaning.

But Sun Hao didn't think much about it, and after saying thank you, he took a look at the ring.

In addition to being able to see the diamond-encrusted front, one side is 2003, the year he won the championship, and his name sun.hao is engraved on the other side.

Of course it is pinyin.

He took one look, put it on his finger, and kissed the front of the ring for the camera.

The first NBA championship ring in my life, it took three years to get the ring!

This kiss is an affirmation of his hard work in the past three years.

This scene was also frozen by the photographers at the scene and became one of the classic pictures.

At the other end of the court at this time, James still couldn't help showing envious eyes.

Although he has set defeating Sun Hao as his first goal, but in the first game of his career, he watched others win the championship ring in front of his eyes.

That... still makes people unbearably envious and jealous!

However, he will do all this soon too!

After the championship awards ceremony, the unveiling ceremony of the championship will be followed immediately.

Unlike the World Series flag raising, the NBA championship flag has already been hung over the arena, just waiting for an unveiling.

At this time, next to the banner covered with a curtain, there is already an unfurled banner, which is the banner of last season's Western Conference champion.

After the countdown on the spot, accompanied by the cheers from the scene, the first championship banner belonging to the Mavericks was slowly unveiled.

Sun Hao looked up at the banner with the 2002-2003 season NBA championship printed on it, and his heart was full of pride.

This is the first flag of his career, but soon there will be a second, a third... the Nth.

The beginning of the century was an era of shining stars, but why not the era of Jordan?

In this era in history, every champion represents a story and a legend.

And what Sun Hao has to do is to make those stories and legends the best foil as Jordan did at the beginning!

After the unveiling ceremony, he turned his head and looked at James, the young man with envious eyes.

Although it is cruel, but when it hits the muzzle, this belief can only be started by James!

The unveiling ceremony was over, and after a simple warm-up, the scene entered the opening ceremony not long after.

When the Mavericks starters came on the field, the crowd cheered overwhelmingly.

Obviously, after the awarding ceremony of the championship ring and the unveiling ceremony of the championship flag, the atmosphere at the scene reached a high point at the beginning.

Of course, it's not just the fans who are encouraged to see the eager faces of the Mavericks players.

The start of James' career looks like it's going to be tough.

But it is precisely this kind of difficulty that James looks very excited.

He always firmly believes that he is the chosen one, the one who wants to defeat Sun Hao and get back the nickname "Little Emperor"!

After the opening ceremony, the two teams started to play one after another.

Mavericks side, Sun Hao, Bell, Finley, Nowitzki, Dampier.

For the Nuggets, Terry, Leonard, James, Nene, Camby.

When the game whistle sounded, Camby turned the ball back to the Nuggets half court, and the game officially started!

Terry held the ball in the frontcourt, and he called Nene to the outside pick-and-roll.

Although James was the No. 1 pick in the 2003 class, the Nuggets obviously didn't want to backfire, and let him adapt to the game at the beginning.

The Mavericks did not change in the pick-and-roll, and Terry directly dribbled a three-pointer.

Although Terry does not have the nickname "Jet" yet, his style of play has not changed much from his peak period.

Bell was a little too late to go around the pick-and-roll, watching Terry's three-pointer.

"Shua!"

With a crisp sound, Terry's outside three-pointer went up and down!

He is not a nobody!

The Nuggets head start!

Looking back, Sun Hao also called Nowitzki for a pick-and-roll, and the Nuggets went straight to double-team, and he split the ball to Nowitzki.

Nowitzki went straight to the basket after receiving the ball, and looked fierce after gaining weight.

Camby was afraid of Nowitzki's shot and flew out, but Nowitzki took advantage of the situation and accelerated to squeeze through, and then sent the ball steadily into the basket with one hand.

The classic pick-and-roll cooperation from Sun Hao and Nowitzki.

The first offense of the Mavericks also scored!

Looking back, Terry repeated the old trick and was interfered by Bell's early save, and his second three-point shot hit the frame.

Dampier protected the defensive rebound, and the Mavericks played a defensive counterattack.

Finley followed up from the right, received a pass from Sun Hao, and flew to the layup.

This is a wave of typical Mavericks-style defensive counterattacks.

But the moment Finley shot, a figure suddenly flew from behind him.

The speed was as fast as lightning, and Finley had no time to dodge.

"boom!"

In the astonished eyes of the fans at the scene, James chased from the frontcourt to the backcourt, and directly staged a nail-biting cap on Finley!

This talent directly stunned the fans at the scene.

Is this the No. 1 pick in 2003?

This is why he was able to suppress the omnipotent Anthony on the offensive end and became the No. 1 pick!

After the block, James also took advantage of the defensive rebound, and after landing, he turned around and hit a fast break!

This amazing jumping ability is paired with the sky-defying body balance. This kind of physical quality is rare in history!

The Mavericks are all on the fast break, only Dampier hasn't crossed the midfield, and he retreats to the free throw line, where he can prevent both breakthroughs and shots.

But James didn't even mean to stop when he entered the three-point line, he just rushed to the box.

Dampier reached out his hand to stop it, but he soon found that he was not prepared enough, and he was knocked away with his hands and people.

The sideline referee's whistle sounded, signaling Dampier's blocking foul.

But James' castration didn't stop at all, his feet seemed to step on a spring and he rose into the air, and his right hand directly pulled the ball to the highest point.
