Chapter 173: Being able to play basketball is the happiest thing (5K chapter, begging for monthly subscription!)
Golden State's strongest dunker Stephen Curry officially made his NBA debut one minute later.

Stepping onto the NBA stage for the first time, Curry felt extremely excited but also a little nervous.

Before going on the court, Curry looked up at the stands behind the Warriors bench.

Sitting there were his family, his father, his mother, and Seth Curry, who could never beat him in a one-on-one match.

On TNT, when Curry replaced Nash, Barkley asked, "Will Dell Curry's 'chosen one' bring us a surprise?"

God's Chosen Son is the nickname given to Curry by many American media in recent times.

Why is Curry the chosen one?
First of all, according to authoritative sources, Curry is the rookie selected by the GOAT himself in the draft.

Secondly, he inherited the No. 30 jersey once worn by the GOAT in the Warriors.

Therefore, adding the above two factors together, if Curry is not God's chosen one, who is God's chosen one?
At the Staples Center, the surprise that Barkley wanted to see soon arrived.

Although it was the first defensive round after coming on the court, Curry's brain was still blank.

But when Curry noticed that the GOAT had successfully intercepted Lowry's pass to Gasol by selecting his position in advance, his instinct almost instantly drove him to run towards the Lakers' half.

GOAT discovered Curry's running position.

So, he immediately threw him a standard quarterback long pass.

just
Just when the Lakers players had given up on defense, the Warriors substitutes were ready to wave their towels.
With a "bang", Golden State's strongest dunker accidentally slipped on the floor and ended his dunking career with his own hands.

When receiving the pass from Qin Yue, Curry thought about using various ways to complete the attack.

But he finally chose the dunk he had been dreaming of.

That was the dream that Vince Carter instilled in Curry when he was a child many years ago.

That was the lofty ambition that was further awakened in Curry's heart after Qin Yue completed the dunk with that windmill slam dunk tonight.

However.
When Curry was about to jump with all his strength and score his first career goal with a perfect dunk, he succeeded in pleasing the fans, opponents and even teammates in the entire stadium like a circus clown.

On TNT, Barkley couldn't believe what he had just seen.

Because in Barkley's impression, No. 30 of the Golden State Warriors is the one who can fly and do everything.

But now.
How could the Warriors give the great No. 30 jersey to such a clown?
Can't the Warriors find someone else to inherit the GOAT's No. 30 jersey?
On the court, looking at the basketball that had rolled out of the baseline, Curry stood up awkwardly and retreated to his own half with a dejected look on his face.

When the shrill laughter of the Lakers fans at the scene reached his ears, Curry, who had even prepared himself in his heart to be scolded for wasting the GOAT's wonderful pass, had nothing to defend himself.

But to Curry's surprise, after he retreated to half court.
GOAT touched his head and said, "The lights at Staples Center are really dazzling. I almost fell down when I dunked for the first time here."

Tears, family members.

Curry couldn't believe that the GOAT, who always liked to torture his teammates, would actually take the initiative to comfort others.

But compared to the GOAT who was full of anger before the game started, Curry found that as the game started, the GOAT seemed to be in a good mood?
Curry guessed right.

Qin Yue was in a really good mood.

Especially as Qin Yue gradually found the feeling of the game, he had already unconsciously immersed in the joy that playing basketball brought him.

In this world.
There is nothing that can make Qin Yue happier than playing basketball.

球场上，秦岳以14分8篮板7助攻2封盖1抢断结束了他的首节表演，单节便已接近完成三双。

During the intermission, Lakers assistant coach Brian Shaw said to Odom: "Lamar, you have to change your next defensive strategy."

"You are not capable enough to completely block the Messiah." Xiao gestured at the tactical board and said, "You have to make full use of the NBA's three-point line to deal with the Messiah."

Odom asked half-comprehendingly, "What should I do?"

Shaw explained: "Before Messiah gets to the 3-point line, you can only retreat to prevent Messiah from easily passing you."

At this moment, Shaw's advice to Odom made sense, but who would have thought that Odom's focus would be on.
"Is it really that easy for him to pass me?"

Hearing this, Xiao picked up a bottle of sports drink and said after taking a sip: "It will probably be as easy for him to pass you as it is for me to drink this bottle of drink."

"."

In Xiao's opinion, as Qin Yue's ability to combine man and ball becomes increasingly unstoppable, in the future most defensive players will inevitably have to retreat to limit his breakthroughs.

Just like the Warriors' two championship seasons, Qin Yue successfully forced all his opponents to adopt only limited defensive strategies to deal with the Warriors.

Why is GOAT the GOAT?

Whether facing Jordan in the past or Qin Yue now, since you can't stop him, gradually, all their opponents will reach a consensus.

Against the GOAT - your defensive possibilities are bound to be compressed by his personal ability, and in the end there will only be one or two that can slightly limit his defensive strategies.

Xiao is well aware that the overly long three-point line in the NBA has now become a protective mechanism.

Because for NBA athletes with extremely strong athletic ability, even if they retreat to defense, they can jump outside the three-point line in a flash.

Therefore, if Odom wants to avoid being penetrated by the GOAT's unparalleled man-ball combination ability, retreating has become his only option.

Although the Lakers will certainly be forced to give GOAT a lot of outside three-point shooting opportunities, considering that the three-pointer is the only shortcoming of all GOAT's strengths.
Therefore, in Xiao's opinion, as long as Odom can always stay focused and can give him some weak interference when the GOAT pulls up for a three-pointer, the rest
"We can only leave it to fate," Shaw said, recalling Jordan back then. "He has formed his own set of rules, a set of rules that are different in form from Michael Jordan, but the nature is exactly the same."

In the second quarter, Qin Yue returned to the court after a four-minute rest.

It is worth mentioning that due to the failed dunk in the first quarter, Curry did not score his first career goal until Qin Yue came on the court.

此刻，库里的技术统计面板是尴尬的3投0中，总计拿到了0分1篮板2失误。

While Qin Yue was off the court, the Lakers successfully narrowed the score to 47 to 40.

As the defending champions last season, this Lakers team is often led by Ellis and Odom when entering the rotation stage.

However, today, because Odom was promoted to the starting lineup, Ellis and Battier led the second lineup.

But even so, the Lakers' second lineup is still strong.

After Qin Yue came on the court, the other four players on the Warriors were Murphy, Hill, Dunleavy and Curry.

Qin Yue knew very well that before the Warriors gradually replaced their main players, this was a lineup that could only compete with their opponents in offense.

So, in the first offensive round, Qin Yue, who was standing at the top of the arc with the ball, immediately called Curry over and had a hand-to-hand pass with him.

Before the so-called "liquid gravity" is formed.
Curry is undoubtedly lucky to be able to work with Qin Yue, who already has his own gravity.

On the court, because Qin Yue was about to turn around with the ball and cut into the Lakers' basket, Battier and Ellis' attention was attracted by Qin Yue at this moment.

The next second, looking at Curry who was left open by the Lakers, Qin Yue immediately passed the ball to the opponent from behind, and while Ellis pounced on Curry, he entered the Lakers' basket with the help of Murphy's cover.

This is an offensive possession where Curry can choose to shoot or pass the ball.

When——!
Bang-dang——!
In the Lakers penalty area, with Curry missing a three-pointer, Qin Yue made a tip-in!

When retreating, Curry, who thought he would be scolded for his repeated missed shots, once again received comfort from the GOAT, "This shot was good, just make it next time."

Qin Yue was not worried that Curry would not find his shooting touch.

And through this attack, Qin Yue has proved that Curry is indeed his most perfect partner.

As we all know, no matter how strong the personal abilities of top stars are, it is impossible for them to always hold the ball and play one-on-one on the court.

Because even Michael Jordan can't take all the shots for the team by himself.

Therefore, in order to achieve the most efficient offense, Qin Yue also needs the cooperation of his teammates to complete it.

Maybe Curry was a little nervous because it was his career debut.

Maybe it was the Staples curse in his memory that was still cursing Curry. But that didn't matter.

The important thing is that as Curry grows, his shooting range will inevitably bring Qin Yue a broad offensive space.

In the next offensive round, Qin Yue still stood in a high position with the ball, and called Curry to come over and pass the ball to him.

This time, Curry, who has not yet opened his mouth, was still selectively left alone by the Lakers players.

Seeing this, Qin Yue passed the ball to Curry again, and quickly moved to the other side, ready to grab the frontcourt rebound.

Swish!
At the Staples Center, on his fifth shot, Curry finally made his first career shot.

Curry waved his fist excitedly and immediately looked up at where his family was.

then
Curry was replaced by Nash, who finally waited for a dead ball opportunity.

Off the court, through these two hand-to-hand passes between Qin Yue and Curry, Nash quickly reviewed his playing style in the first quarter, and after self-reflection, he finally understood what Qin Yue wanted.

Qin Yue is not Stoudemire.

He doesn't need to rely on his own manipulation to score points.

On the contrary, he is a player who can act as a go-to for his teammates.

Therefore, if Nash wants to partner with Qin Yue, he must first increase his own aggressiveness.

In the 1980s, the Lakers were famous for their famous "Show Time".

And now?

Now it's show time for the Warriors.

The defending champion Lakers became the perfect target for the Warriors to conduct tactical research.

On this night when they were not vigilant, Nash made two consecutive three-pointers from the outside after coming on the court, which gave Qin Yue an easy opportunity to get to the Lakers' basket.

After gradually replacing their main players, the Lakers tried to block the restricted area by using the height of the Gasol brothers.

But under Odom's fatalistic defense, Qin Yue, whose physical strength had just declined, fired frequently from the outside with great decisiveness.

At the end of the first half, the score was 77 to 61.

秦岳上半场总计砍下29分12篮板11助攻3封盖1抢断。

Facing the Warriors' powerful attack, Kobe, who had just received his fourth career ring before the start of the game, suddenly looked ugly.

Judging from the strength on paper, the Lakers are not inferior to the Warriors.

But in the actual game, the GOAT, who was omnipresent on both offense and defense, used his influence on the game to make people feel the long-lost fear.

After halftime, the third quarter began.

Kobe had just scored two points for the Lakers. He turned around and looked at Odom who was constantly retreating in front of him. Qin Yue actively used a front change of direction to close the distance between him and Odom, and then made another front change of direction in the opposite direction.

At this moment, Odom, wearing the No. 7 Lakers jersey, was instantly beaten by Qin Yue into the famous English Premier League Route 66.

Qin Yue drove straight to the Lakers' restricted area along this road and made a layup in front of the Gasol brothers.

This is the GOAT.

Perhaps, physical talent can help GOAT crush most defenses.

But in the NBA, where there are so many superhumans, only those with superb skills can truly break through all theoretical defenses.

In the next offensive round, the scene Nash had been looking forward to finally appeared.

After passing the ball to Qin Yue, Nash noticed that Qin Yue had used Brown's screen to penetrate the Lakers' territory, and he then made a wonderful pass to help the opponent.

Bang-dang——!
On the Warriors bench, Malone looked at this incredibly beautiful picture and said with tears in his eyes: "We are unstoppable!"

The Warriors, who have two top passers, completely killed the suspense of the game with a 21-5 offensive climax in the third quarter.

In fact, compared with the two consecutive championships, the Warriors' defense level in this game was not high because Nash's defense was no different from the packaging of Lays potato chips.

But in the Warriors' seemingly never-ending offense, even though this Lakers team has already won the championship, they will inevitably be affected by their poor defense.

Kobe's mood began to deteriorate.

On this Lakers' coronation night.

Qin Yue's return as a king seemed to be telling the world that the Lakers really took advantage of his injury last season to win the championship.

前第三节比赛过后，秦岳的个人技术统计面板已经上涨至了45分17篮板14助攻4封盖1抢断。

And the score?

The scoreboard at Staples Center read 110 to 81.

Facing the Lakers' defense that they were proud of last season, the Warriors scored an outrageous 110 points in just three quarters.

It is true that in this regular season opener, the Lakers' defensive level is not the same as in last season's finals.

But in the hearts of countless fans, Qin Yue, who returned from injury, has used his actions to tell the entire basketball world that he is the best player on the planet, and the Warriors team with him is the best team in the league today!

Thanks to the outstanding performance of the main players
Curry successfully enjoyed the treatment of Bronny in later generations on this night.

Although the uncles tried their best, it was not entirely to give Curry more playing opportunities in garbage time. Although even without the efforts of the uncles, Curry would one day grow into a player who can stand on his own, but from an objective fact, Curry did have a great time in his career debut for a whole quarter.

第四节比赛，库里7投5中，其中三分球4投3中，单节砍下13分2篮板3助攻。

The final score was 138 to 110.

The Warriors took the City of Angels by storm with a monstrous offensive display at the Staples Center.

"Talking about this coronation night that was destined to be unpleasant, Kobe said that the Warriors' victory was like a loud slap in the face of the defending champions.

"If we want to defend our title this season, we need to do better and approach every game with the utmost humility, both on and off the court." - Los Angeles Times

When asked what it was like to play basketball again, Messiah said that during the long recovery period, he felt like 10,000 ants were crawling in his heart every day.

After the game, in an interview, LeBron said, "I hate the Magic's defense and their non-basketball fouls in the game."

In addition, LeBron said he is still confident that he can bring a championship trophy to his hometown of Cleveland. 'You know, I'm still a month away from turning 25, so in a sense, I'm still a young player.

I believe that one day, I will be able to bring a championship trophy to the city of Cleveland. '——"Cleveland Plain Dealer"

"In the game where the Knicks unexpectedly defeated the Hawks 108-101, Kevin Durant, who scored 28 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists for the Knicks, said after the game, 'We are a team with explosive talent, and we have a big brother like Shaquille O'Neal to lead us.
