Wenban Yama has thick eyebrows; Philadelphia’s new Xiao Ai; Yang Hansen’s first battle

Third overall pick VJ Edgecombe’s 34 points in his NBA debut should be third in history. Philadelphia beats Celtics.

The previous 43 points (Chamberlain) and 35 points (Selvey) were both from the 1950s.

VJ’s 14 points in the first quarter are the first in history: the previous record was LeBron’s 12 points in 2003.

Wrote before the season:

"His genius is obvious, he runs and jumps like flying, his talent is incredible and his passion explodes. We want this!" Some people have already said that Edgecomb is the Jets version of Suggs or Derrick White, pragmatic and hard-working, with a wolfish attitude. Even if his jump shot can't be polished, he is expected to become a ferocious version of Iguodala.

- But looking at it today, he looks like a little Wade sometimes.

Or, Philadelphia has its own new Xiao Ai?

The Magic narrowly defeated the Heat: Pay tribute to Coach Spoelstra: Without Herro, the Magic can be pushed into a desperate situation.

Wagner and Banqueiro each scored 24 points, and the trustworthy Bane scored 23 points. However, the Magic finally won the game by relying on defense. The basic set:

At 115 to 113, the defense destroyed the Heat's serve.

But then Bain + Banqueiro failed in the pick-and-roll, Wagner + Banqueiro failed in the pick-and-roll singles against Adebayor, and Wagner failed in the layup.

It was only because of Suggs' defense against Powell's counterattack and Carter Jr.'s block of Adebayo's counterattack layup that Banqueiro took the lead with a counterattack dunk.

But Wiggins caught up to 119 with a three-pointer, and the Magic were in trouble again.

Banqueiro divided the weak side, and Suggs broke through the weak side and took the lead; Bain grabbed the key rebound and made two free throws.

Powell dunked to within 2 points, Banqueiro missed a shot, and Carter Jr. made two free throws on the offensive rebound to seal the game.

Bain is the real deal: 23 points from the third team leader and key rebounds. Shining with the twin stars.

But the Magic ultimately rely on defense and rebounding to win the game.

As far as the offensive fluidity is concerned, the Magic still need to adjust, and the Heat are even better - Coach Spoelstra's unique skill: Powell is playing smoothly, and he doesn't look like a newcomer at all.

I understand that the Clippers veterans are slow to get used to it, but it was still a big surprise that they were blown away by the Jazz in the first game.

Let’s look at Coach Lu’s meaning in this first start: Jones Jr. leads the defense, Zubac protects the basket, Bill chases the ball, and Leonard helps defend; Harden and Leonard double-handle the ball in offense, and Bill and Jones serve as wings.

However, the overall size on the defensive end is at a disadvantage, and they are not as young as the Jazz. The shot is obviously slow. Zubac can protect the basket, but Kessler has a long shot.

On the offensive end, without Powell's guerilla, the Clippers relied too much on jump shots, and turned into Harden + Zubac to support the court.

suffered from both speed and size, so it was destroyed by Jazz.

Should Collins start, then?

The good news is: Lopez did make a three-pointer.

Yang Hansen came on at the beginning of the first quarter and defended for three seconds.

In the second quarter, Randall got a free throw, and his hook shot was interfered by Gobert.

Pay attention to Gobert and protect the basket. Wentz saw him stuck under the basket halfway through the rush, so he divided the weak side: Maidan broke through and dunked.

Then Yang Hansen fouled Gobert and went on.

In the 5 minutes of the first half, the old topic:

The good thing is the presence of the Giants-high screen on the offensive end, and the defensive end can allow Edwards to turn-the bad thing is that he moves slowly when trying to get into the rhythm.

Change the perspective: Yang Hansen had 2 points and 1 foul in the first 5 minutes.

Yao Ming had 0 points and 3 fouls in 1 minute of the first game.

Battle had 0 points and 5 fouls in the first 13 minutes of the game.

Cui Yongxi scored 1 point in 2 minutes of the first game.

Yi Jianlian scored 9 points and 6 fouls in 25 minutes of the first game.

Zhou Qi scored 0 points in 7 minutes of the first game.

Sun Yue had 4 points and 4 fouls in 5 minutes of the first game.

Dazhi scored 6 points and 2 fouls in 8 minutes of the first game.

is neither the best nor the worst.

There is a process, so take your time.

The Spurs defeated the Mavericks in the opening game. The best race of Bunyama's career.

Not because he had 40 points and 15 rebounds - last season he had 50 points against the Wizards and 35+18 against Jokic - but because what he faced today was a historical presence with thick eyebrows: a flying spider monster.

Because Wenbanyama did not play freely today: 15 of 21 shots, 11 free throws, only two three-pointers, 40 points.

Thick Eyebrow made 7 of 22 shots and 6 free throws for 22 points.

Because Wenbanyama changed the rhythm of the game by relying on defense: the Spurs opened 6-8, and the offense and defense were flat in the half. Then Wenbanyama began to dominate:

Wenban disturbed Nongmei for a layup, and Vassell counterattacked with a long shot 9-8; in the next round, Nongmei's high-point throw was blocked by Wenban's five-finger mountain, and Castle chased and hit 11-8. After that, the Lone Ranger had to let Clay try a long shot, and Barnes chased and shot 14-8.

It was the anti-counterfeiting of the literary class that started this wave.

What’s interesting is that after Thick Eyebrow’s ball was blocked, his first reaction was to look back at the referee and ask, “Is there no interference?”

—When he was invincible all over the United States in his freshman year, his opponents had the same reaction, “How could it be blocked?!”

Due to the existence of Bunyama and because the Mavericks had no organizer, the Spurs were able to take control of the initiative.

Irving was injured, and Kidd asked Flagg to be the ball handler: for example, he used Giannis in the Bucks. Flagg tried hard, but he had everything but few unique skills, and it was difficult to get out of the neutral position, so he made 1 of the first 9 shots.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Flagg held the ball and was intercepted by Castle, the rookie of the year last season, on the spot to counterattack: 2+1.

In the first half, the Mavericks' starting five only had 2 assists: the two insiders and Lavery. The Mavericks can only pass the ball through the high post in the position battle, and Bunyama is waiting under the basket..

The first goal of the second half started. After Flagg went around the screen and made a mid-range shot, he breathed a sigh of relief: Edgcomb, the top pick in Philadelphia next door, had just scored the third-highest debut score in history with 34 points, and led Philadelphia to a victory over the Celtics. Flagg, the top pick, also wanted to work harder, but Wenbanyama began to dominate ruthlessly:

Flagg tried to throw high, but Wenban destroyed it, pushed back and fed a long shot from the bottom corner: the Spurs led by 10 points.

Then the most exciting moment of the game:

Wenbanyama made a low layup after rebounding, and then blocked Livery in front of him.

After dribbling to the frontcourt, Wenbanyama dribbled, changed direction, broke through, retreated, and made a three-pointer: Fouled by Livery, he made a 3+1 shot.

The game collapsed completely.

Wenban Yama had 10 points and 2 blocks in the half, and the Spurs opened up to 15 points.

After the game, it’s practice time.

Flagg made 1 of 9 shots and then scored 3 consecutive goals, a talented windmill layup: He really couldn't get out of the space, but he still found the rhythm and made the shot.

Second place Harper performed a gorgeous up-and-down step to the basket.

But Castle, the newcomer from the previous term, was good enough: in the second half, he had another midfield steal and a single fast break 2+1: Castle had 22 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals in 28 minutes today. He stole the ball twice in the midfield and then counterattacked 2+1. He can be called a little Wade. The Spurs have defenders, but the Mavericks have no defenders. The five starting players of the Mavericks had a total of 6 assists in the game. This is the key to victory or defeat.

Today, Bunyama not only suppressed the thick eyebrows face to face, but also performed some moves that made the thick eyebrows helpless: the block in the opening that shocked the thick eyebrows, the second half block of Livery and the step back 3+1, and in the second quarter, facing PJ Washington, he faked a shot and jumped and then stepped to break through, allowing the thick eyebrows to kick back with both hands:

"The steps are too big and you have to hide from the thick eyebrows. You don't have time to dunk, so let's do it backwards!"

This joke can come from Shaolin. To be honest, it can come from Wenban Yama's hard training with KG and Dameng in the summer - the shot is swaying and then jumps to start the breakthrough, Dameng's ability against the general back then; the retreat step and long shot, KG's ability back then.

It's just that KG and Dameng also extended their shooting range to the point where they could shoot 3+1.
