Chapter 25
In the New Orleans Arena, compared to Los Angeles, there are not many people in this arena, and the size of the arena is not very large.

When the players are warming up, you can see scattered spectators entering the field one after another. The team's record last season was not very satisfactory, but this season they have a chosen son, that is Zion Williams.

This guy represents attendance.

A lot of fans come to watch Zion Williams.

But just before the game started, the Pelicans had confirmed that Zion would miss the game.

This also made many outside media speculate that Qin Ming VS Zion has ended.

Although Qin Ming performed very well in the last game, more people are optimistic about Zion Williams' dominance.

"Unfortunately, in this game, Zion Williams, the No. [-] pick in this draft, cannot enter this game."

"If he can come back healthy, it will be a big improvement for the Pelicans."

The three commentators are ready on the commentary stand.

At this point the players have finished warming up.

The arena lights went off.

Because it was an away game, the Clippers players introduced them very lazily, and broadcast the home players with extra care.

Qin Ming saw it at the scene, and felt that this broadcast was much worse than the one in Los Angeles.

The atmosphere in Los Angeles, the MC, and the video on the screen are much more passionate than this.

After the introduction of the players from both sides, the players entered the field one after another.

But at this time, the commentary station far away across the ocean was advertising, and they couldn't see the NBA's entrance ceremony. After the lights were turned on, what they saw was a female reporter interviewing Rivers.

This is a very rare thing, because most reporters will first interview the coach of the home team.

"May I ask if Qin Ming was put on the starting line-up this evening, was it planned in advance, or was it a temporary decision? How long can he stay in this position?"

"After Beverly was injured, Qin Ming took on his heavy responsibility and played well in the last game. Lou Williams is also very happy to let Qin Ming play the starter. He is a very good point guard and can also launch the offense independently. His shooting percentage and offensive selection are exceptionally good. He has the ability to start in the NBA."

Rivers spoke English, so most fans didn't hear it.

But many sharp-eyed fans have already seen the introduction on a certain platform.

This is also something that has attracted the attention of many domestic media, that is, what is the probability of Qin Ming starting after Beverly is injured.

Many netizens thought it was impossible, because no matter how good Qin Ming played, there was still Lu Wei in charge.

Moreover, Qin Ming played very fiercely with the substitute players, and he can also perfectly replace Lu Wei's role.

But more self-media and sports professionals think that the probability of Qin Ming's starting will be 90.00%.

Because Qin Ming can't do what Lu Wei can do, but Lu Wei can't do what Qin Ming can do.

With Qin Ming, the Clippers' starting lineup is too fierce.

"As the game started, many viewers and friends have already seen it, including Rivers, who has already said that the Clippers' starting point guard is given to Qin Ming. This rookie who just debuted last night has finally made the starting lineup."

"Yes, you have to know that before that, he was still an undrafted pick."

"Although the Clippers haven't played in the past two days, the topic of Qin Ming has never left behind. Becoming an official NBA player, signing Rich Paul, whether to be a starter...etc."

"It's quite like Yao Ming's back then."

On the webcast platform, there are two screens, one is the stadium, and the other is the Pelicans coach, Gentry's interview.

"Coach, what do you think Qin Ming's uncertain factor will make this game look like?"

Gentry's eyes are very deep, and what he said is impeccable: "This guy has made everyone in the league know him. He scored 25 points and 4 assists when he debuted. He is also a rookie who has never played in the summer league. He is a very good point guard. He is fully capable of starting in the NBA. We temporarily added a lot of defensive strategies for this, hoping to limit his performance in this game."

"How do you feel about the absence of Zion Williams?"

"It's a shame he didn't make it to our opener, but we'll keep going."

The interview is over.

Here Zubac and Okafor make a jump ball.

"Zubac won the jumper, and it was the Clippers' first down."

Leonard passed the ball to Qin Ming.

The latter stands in the LOGO area with the ball, and the continuous dribbling will gradually retreat the pressing Holiday.

As soon as he saw Zhu Holiday defending himself, Qin Ming knew that the Pelicans took him very seriously in this game. They used their own defensive sharp knife to defend themselves.

Holiday's defensive experience is very experienced, basically he will not lose his defensive position very much, and always maintains a position where he can catch up with Qin Ming and defend his shooting.

It's a combination of defensive footwork and knowledge of his length.

The first tactic that the Clippers came up with was Paul George's pocket. He first performed a pick-and-roll with Morris on the line. After the defense, he slipped towards the bottom line.

Just when the defender was hesitating, Zubac made an air cut towards the inside, and the Pelicans' defensive communication was not done well. Both of them chased Zubac inside, missing Paul George, who had successfully covered the bottom line.

Qin Ming passed the ball directly with a dribble feint, and the basketball flew into Paul George's hands.

The latter held the ball open for a three-pointer and made a steady hit.

"Paul George slipped out of the bottom line, the Pelicans missed, the man arrived and the ball arrived, Paul George hit a three-pointer."

"With Qin Ming, the Clippers' starting offense has become much smoother. When he is off the court, we can often see that the Clippers' tactic is unsuccessful, and then the two giants play separately, or return one to Morris."

"Yes, Qin Ming, the point guard, has given the Clippers a huge confidence."

In the next round, Lonzo Ball advanced with the ball. He is a pure point guard, but what is criticized is that the guard did not shoot, and his posture is also very weird.

He faced Qin Ming, and the latter couldn't help but look at the hit rate under his opponent's feet.

He only shot 20.00% from the three-point line, which is almost the lowest level of all point guards.

But here is the NBA, there is nothing impossible, so Qin Ming is still very active in defense, not giving the opponent extra space.
