Chapter 622 The Son of America

On October 10, the Warriors sit at home and usher in the opening game against the Pelicans.

The opening game of the 2015-2016 season has a total of three games. The Eastern Cavaliers played against the Bulls, replaying the Eastern Conference finals last season. The Eagles played against the Pistons. The traffic team is the Lakers, but the Pelicans, which shows that the league is trying to support thick eyebrows.

Nongmei has been in the league for several years. Although he has not been able to lead the Pelicans to achieve any results, he is deeply loved by the American media and fans. He is a well-deserved son of the United States. He just entered the playoffs last season. It's arranged.

But no matter how popular he is, he is still far inferior to the Warriors. In today's opening match, the protagonist can only be the Warriors who receive the championship ring.

This is the fifth consecutive year that the Warriors have participated in the opening game, and three of them have received championship rings. They are the most successful team in the past five years.

This year's championship ring is also carefully crafted and received at the newly completed Chase Center, which is a good start for the new arena.

Amid the applause of the fans in the audience, the Warriors' sixth championship banner was slowly raised. Zhang Yu said:

"After today, the glory of last season will be deeply buried in our hearts, and we will embark on a new journey and work hard to defend the title! What I bring to the Warriors is not one, two, or three championship banners, but five, six Face, seven faces..."

The audience cheered loudly, but they were a little puzzled, why did this sound so familiar...

After the grand ring collection and flag raising ceremony, the game finally started.

The Warriors' starters are Curry, Clay, Leonard, Green, and Olynyk, while the Pelicans' starters are Nate Robinson, Eric Gordon, Cunningham, Thick Eyebrows, and Asik.

Jrue Holiday was injured and did not return, so Nate Robinson could only take the starting point guard position.

After Asik's talks with the Warriors collapsed, he entered the free agent market and was favored by the Pelicans. The two sides signed a five-year, $5 million contract.

The original contract extension between Asik and the Pelicans was 5 million U.S. dollars in five years, but following the Warriors' history of winning the championship, his worth has increased a lot, and the contract value has increased by 6000 million U.S. dollars.

Today he also received his championship ring before the game, which made the Pelicans' current teammates envious.

"Di-"

The referee blew the whistle, and the two sides jumped the ball. Asik relied on his height advantage, jumped lightly, and dialed the ball to the backcourt of the Pelicans, and the game officially started.

The Pelicans attacked, Robinson dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and played a pick-and-roll with Thick Eyebrow.

Green took a step back, guarding against thick eyebrows, and Curry also went off the screen to give Robinson a shot.

Robinson had a chance to make a shot, but his offensive ability dropped sharply. Instead of shooting, he passed the ball to Shun Xia's thick eyebrows.

Nongmei took the ball and directly started to attack the frame. Green was knocked back again and again, and raising his hand to interfere was fruitless. He watched Nongmei succeed in a layup, 2:0.

Looking back, Green holds the ball at the top of the arc, Leonard screens for Curry on the weak side, Robinson and Cunningham both pounce on Curry, Leonard cuts to the basket, and there is an open space.

But Green's pass was a step slower. After Leonard received the ball, his thick eyebrows were already on defense.

Fortunately, Leonard was in danger, pulled the ball with one crotch, and made a shot with a step back. The basketball flew past the fingertips with thick eyebrows and fell into the net, 2:2.

A burst of cheers erupted from the auditorium, celebrating the Warriors' first goal of the season. Under the good architectural and acoustic design of the Chase Center, the sound spread quickly and echoed in the arena.

The corners of Leonard's mouth twitched slightly, he smiled, and waved his hands to both sides.

In the last season, he would not be so confident, making mid-range shots with thick eyebrows.

But this offseason, he has practiced hard for a summer, and his strength has improved greatly. His mid-range jumper has been practiced to the point of perfection, and his self-confidence has also greatly increased. No matter who is defending in front of him, he has the confidence to make a shot.

The round transition, the Pelicans attacked, Robinson continued to pick and roll with the thick eyebrow, and gave the ball to the thick eyebrow who was running down.

Robinson is only 30 years old this year, but his athletic ability has declined significantly. He has almost lost his offensive threat and has no organizational skills. starter.

After Nongmei took the ball, he rushed to the Warriors penalty area, Green interfered in front, and Olynyk also rushed from the side to help defend.

The Warriors players are very aware of Asik's characteristics, knowing that he lacks offensive threats, and the focus of defense inside is all on thick eyebrows.

Thick eyebrows saw that Olynik was coming to help defend, so he didn't go to the basket anymore, and directly pulled out a jumper.

Green's interference was a step slower, but the thick eyebrow didn't make the shot himself, and the basketball hit the front of the basket and bounced out.

Olynyk didn't grab a rebound, but turned around and stuck Asik behind him, and the rebound was protected by Leonard who was recycled to the basket.

On the sidelines, Zhang Yu nodded approvingly when he saw the Warriors protecting the backboard.

Olynik plays very smartly and is very good at blocking. Although he is not a traditional blue-collar center and doesn't grab many rebounds, the Warriors' overall rebounds will not suffer.

After Leonard got the ball, he immediately counterattacked. The Pelicans' defense was chaotic. There were two people piled up in front of Leonard. He passed the ball to Klay, who was advancing on the left. Clay took the ball and shot, converting a three-pointer miss.

"Oh……"

There was a sigh of disappointment in the auditorium, and many fans who were ready to celebrate could only put down their half-raised hands.

In the past, this kind of situation was very safe for Clay, and they were deeply surprised by Clay's blacksmithing.

Clay himself shook his hand angrily, but the Pelicans had already started to attack, so he could only suppress his emotions and retreat immediately.

Robinson passed the ball to Gordon, and the others pulled away. Gordon singled Clay and hit the iron with a mid-range shot.

Looking back, Olynik holds the ball at the top of the arc, and he also has the ability to pass the ball with one hand. Zhang Yu specially set up a card-dealing tactic for him.

Green screened for Clay on the weak side, and the thick eyebrows delayed for a while, waiting for Gordon to squeeze through the screen before returning to his position. The timing was just right.

The tactics didn't run out, and the offensive time was running out, Olynyk passed the ball to Curry.

After receiving the ball, Curry put on a three-threat posture, and the probing step forced Robinson to take half a step back, and directly relied on his height advantage to make a three-pointer.

brush!
Robinson couldn't interfere, and the basketball went into the net hollow, 5:2.

This is the first time for Curry to experience the advantage of height. Other teams defend him with the best defenders in the backcourt, but it is impossible for Gentry to let Robinson face the 2-meter Klay. He came to guard Curry.

With such an advantageous matchup, the Warriors no longer pass and cut.

In the next round, Thick Eyebrow singled Green and hit a mid-range pull-up. Looking back, Curry directly singled Robinson, pressing Robinson by half, and made a breakthrough layup.

In the next few rounds, the Warriors focused on Curry, focusing on Robinson.

Robinson's athletic ability has declined seriously. In order to prevent Curry's three-pointer, he had to post it. Curry passed him very easily, scoring 6 points in a row.

But at the same time, Thick Eyebrow also scored 5 points inside, all of which were scored on Green's head.

One of them was 2+1. Green had lost his position and wanted to make a move. He was caught by the referee and gave the thick eyebrow a free throw.

But Green was very dissatisfied with the referee's penalty, chasing after the referee and chattering, as if he had suffered great injustice.

But the playback showed clearly that he hit the thick eyebrow's arm, and the referee whistled correctly.

On the sidelines, Zhang Yu looked up at the replay of Nongmei's goal on the big screen, frowning. When Nongmei hit and added a penalty, he came to the referee and called a timeout.

"Di-"

After the players on both sides left the field, Green was still very dissatisfied with the referee. He shook his hands and returned to the bench, chattering endlessly.

He saw the replay, but he felt that he was the best defensive player, a slight foul not long after the start, thick eyebrows are still a must-goal, is it necessary to brag?
Today is the Warriors' home court, or the day to receive the championship ring. The referee doesn't give him any face. Isn't this too shameful?
Green was full of displeasure, but he forgot that the opposite was the thick eyebrow known as the son of America. The referee didn't call him a few fouls for the sake of the DPOY trophy. How could he still favor him?

Zhang Yu looked at Green, who was still complaining, with a cold expression and unhappiness in his heart.

After the start, Green's defense against the thick eyebrows failed very much. Compared with last season, the movement of his feet was more than a beat slower, and the confrontation was also soft, allowing the thick eyebrows to get whatever they wanted inside the Warriors.

In the past, Asik guarded the penalty area and the frame was very hard. Olynyk had no problem with defensive positioning, but the frame protection was much softer. The thick eyebrows can only break through Green's defense, and only Leonard can interfere with one or two.

But he is a small forward who needs to recover from the three-point line, and the thick eyebrow is too athletic, Leonard often has no time to shrink to the basket, and the thick eyebrow completes the offense.

The Warriors failed to open the score, which should be attributed to Green's first-line defense, which was too easily broken by thick eyebrows.

And this is because he neglected training in the summer, his physical condition has not recovered, and it is very difficult to match his thick eyebrows.

After Green finally stopped complaining, Zhang Yu said with a cold face:
"Drummond, you will come down and rest later, Giannis, you go on the court, keep up with Davis, pay attention to his offensive frame, the others tighten up, the Pelicans are not accurate outside, you can let them shoot three-pointers, Just keep an eye on Gordon."

Hearing this, Green's expression was astonished, and he was about to speak, but he closed his mouth after meeting Zhang Yu's sharp eyes that seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts.

He didn't dare to argue with Zhang Yu, but he was very puzzled, why was he replaced after only playing for less than 5 minutes?

Green didn't know that Zhang Yu was very dissatisfied with his defense. He couldn't defend against thick eyebrows before, and because of this, he didn't use his full strength when defending thick eyebrows today.

His physical condition has not fully recovered, and this is just a regular season. The Pelicans were just a fringe team in the playoffs last season. Green felt that he would definitely win today, and he was not interested, and his attitude was a little lazy.

It was this lazy attitude that made Zhang Yu very dissatisfied.

But the timeout is precious, Zhang Yu has no time to explain, the most important thing now is to win the game, he directly replaces Green, and after the game is over, he will break up with Green.

……

After the timeout ended, Antetokounmpo came on the court, and the Warriors' defense immediately improved a lot.

Antetokounmpo's experience and defense sense are not as good as Green's, but he can match the thick eyebrows in terms of height, speed, confrontation, etc. The offensive threat of the other Pelicans is not great. He only needs to defend the thick eyebrows. , and this is his forte.

Thick eyebrows can still score, but it has become a lot more difficult.

Last season, Antetokounmpo was still at a disadvantage against the thick eyebrows. He could only interfere a little, but could not limit the thick eyebrows' scoring.

But after an offseason, Antetokounmpo continued to gain weight, and his confrontation and strength improved significantly. With the accumulation of experience in two seasons, the defensive end is no longer green, and the opponent's thick eyebrows are no longer so disadvantaged, which can already limit him. scored.

Even on the offensive end, Antetokounmpo is not like last season, unable to score in front of thick eyebrows.

He first launched a face-to-face breakthrough from the free throw line, changed his body forward and backward drastically, and swayed out of the breakthrough space, then pressed half of his thick eyebrows, squeezed hard into the inside, and succeeded in a layup.

Then he hit the thick eyebrows with a low back, and made two hard chisels. Although he failed to break the thick eyebrows, he also created a little shot space, changed hands and hooked, and scored against the thick eyebrows.

However, in the direct dialogue with Nongmei, Antetokounmpo scored 4 points by surprise, and then Nongmei strengthened his defense against Antetokounmpo. He had no chance at all and could only honestly give his teammates Set screens and look for rolls to score.

His body has not yet reached its peak state, and there is still room for improvement in strength and confrontation. His movement and control skills and low-post footsteps are not yet proficient enough, and he is still unable to handle the ball with thick eyebrows.

But Antetokounmpo limited the scoring efficiency of the thick eyebrows on the defensive end, which is enough. Curry and Leonard faced Robinson and Cunningham. In this way, the Warriors quickly expanded their lead. At the end of the first quarter, they had already led the Pelicans by 32 points at 20:12.

When the players from both sides left the field, they sat down on the chairs with thick eyebrows, panting and sweating, looking up at the score on the big screen, their eyes dull.

Thick eyebrows are both offensive and defensive. In terms of personal ability alone, he is enough to rank in the top five in the league, but his teammates are all crooked. The biggest helper Holiday is injured. Only Gordon and Asik can help. Can only help a little, the Pelicans still can only count on him alone.

As long as the thick eyebrow's performance is slightly worse, the Pelicans will never want to win, and disastrous defeats are common.

In the ensuing game, the Warriors have been in control of the situation.

The depth of the Pelicans' lineup is not as deep as that of the Warriors. Zhang Yu directly sent Dinwiddie, Bogdan, Wiggins, Green, and Looney to the four-substitute lineup in the second quarter. Ferocious, Bogdan and Wiggins scored a total of 4 three-pointers, and the point difference continued to widen.

After the start of the third quarter, Zhang Yu played the starting lineup at the beginning of the game. Under Green's defense, the thick eyebrows scored very fiercely, chasing the score to within 10 points.

Zhang Yu made adjustments, replacing Antetokounmpo with the thick eyebrows, replacing Olynik, and Green stood at the fifth position to defend against Asik, relying on consciousness to help defend, without having to work hard to defend against the thick eyebrows.

After the death five came on the field, the Warriors' defensive strength suddenly increased, the rotation was fast, and they were extremely aggressive, making frequent mistakes and counterattacks.

Curry and Leonard, as counterattack arrows, scored 10 points and 8 points respectively, and the Warriors widened the point difference to about 20 points.

The two are in very good form today, and their desire to attack is also very strong. In the first half, they succeeded in singles with the ball many times. Robinson and Cunningham's defense was like paper in front of Curry and Leonard.

Originally, Zhang Yu still passed and cut first today, Green and Olynik dealt cards at the top of the arc, and the others ran without the ball, aiming at the weakness of the Pelicans' lack of defensive discipline.

The Pelicans' defense did make a lot of mistakes in switching defenses, which gave the Warriors a lot of outside opportunities, but Clay felt cold, hit the iron repeatedly with three-pointers, and couldn't make open shots, wasting a lot of good opportunities.

Zhang Yu judged the situation and increased the proportion of Curry and Leonard holding the ball to attack. The tactics were much simpler, but the effect was immediate. In the third quarter, the defensive counterattack directly established the victory.

But passing and cutting is the basic tactic of the Warriors, and Zhang Yu will not lose it. After a big lead, the Warriors resumed passing and cutting to give Clay a feel.
In the fourth quarter, except for Clay who continued to stay, the other main players were all off.

Clay played for 5 minutes, but still couldn't find a three-pointer, and ended in resentment, and the game entered garbage time.

Zhang Yu did not send the third team, but let the second team play, and took this opportunity to cultivate a tacit understanding.

But the time for everyone to play together was too short, and the game still entered the mode of Antetokounmpo, Bogdan, and Wiggins taking turns holding the ball.

However, their individual abilities are too strong, and they can maintain the lead in singles. Gentry let the starter play for 2 minutes, but only narrowed the point difference by 3 points. In desperation, he replaced the substitute and conceded the loss.

In the end, the Warriors beat the Pelicans 123:102 to get off to a good start to the season.

全场比赛下来,库里18投10中,三分球12中6,罚球4中4,砍下30分7助攻4篮板2抢断,伦纳德16投10中,三分7中3,罚球4中3,砍下26分7篮板2助攻3抢断2封盖,是勇士赢球的两大功臣。

克莱的表现就很糟糕了,全场15投4中,三分12中2,罚球2中2,砍下12分4篮板1助攻1封盖。

Green also played mediocre, with only 5 points, 4 assists, 6 rebounds and 1 steal. The supreme three singles reappeared.

However, Antetokounmpo had 16 points, Bogdan had 13 points and scored 3 three-pointers, and Wiggins had 12 points, which filled the scoring gaps of Clay and Green. Olynik had 8 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. The all-around performance also assumed part of Green's licensing responsibilities, and the Warriors still ushered in a big victory.

浓眉空砍31分14篮板2助攻2抢断3封盖的豪华数据,其中有一半以上的分数是在格林身上得到的。

Gordon had 15 points, Ismail Smith had 14 points, Cunningham had 12 points, and Asik had 10 points. The scores seemed to be quite a lot, but most of them were obtained after the Warriors took a big lead, which did not help the overall situation .
