NBA: Two hands can’t carry championship rings

Throughout the summer league, Yue Yi averaged 18.6 points per game at the beginning and by the end of the season, he averaged 23.2 points per game, while his shooting percentage remained at an astonishing 62%.

After a summer of hard training, his physical attributes in the Consciousness Sea have increased to:

Strength: 71,

Agility: 74,

Elasticity: 72,

Vision: 81,

Toughness: 73.

The five basic attributes have all increased significantly.

At the end of the summer league, Yue Yi got a ten-day short contract from the Golden State Warriors as he wished.

As long as he gets a short contract and gets playing time, Yue Yi can extend the ten-day short contract.

Because he still has three experience cards.

On the day he signed the ten-day contract, Yue Xiafei set off firecrackers for half an hour in San Francisco's Chinatown and pulled a long banner in front of the store.

That night, Yue Xiafei set up ten tables at the Mingyue Restaurant in Chinatown.

Yue Yi drank a little red wine during the dinner, which was a little indulgence in managing his body.

As for Nick, he failed to get a contract from the Warriors due to the large guard group and sufficient personnel of the Golden State Warriors.

However, after averaging 12+11 per game in the summer league and scoring and assisting a double-double, Nick received a one-year non-guaranteed contract from the Memphis Grizzlies.

This is a contract that is more stable than Yue Yi's ten-day short contract and has more opportunities to show his abilities.

Mingyue Restaurant was bustling with activity, and this group, mainly yellow-skinned, were toasting in celebration.

They have every reason to celebrate. Since the founding of the NBA, there have been a few yellow-skinned people who have played in the league. What’s more, the one who plays in the NBA this time is a Chinese, not to mention a kid who lives in this Chinatown.

Yue Yi, who was the protagonist of this celebration, returned to the Red Jue Winery through urine escape and lay down on his bed located in the attic of the shop.

After getting the contract, truly integrating into the Warriors is the most important thing at the moment.

Yue Yi was quietly thinking about the direction of the Warriors team in the 2007-08 season in bed.

In the past few years in the league, there have been two teams that use"run and gun" as their main offensive tactics. One is the Phoenix Suns and the other is the Golden State Warriors.

They also emphasize quick attacks and pursuit counterattacks, and they have many similarities.

In the past few years, the Suns' run-and-gun style was very successful, ranking among the top in the league for many years, and core point guard Nash even won the regular season MVP.

The Golden State Warriors are slightly different from the Suns in that they emphasize fighting alone. You can say that they have no rules and are not a top team, but the Warriors often"beat their master to death with random punches." At that time However, many strong teams have failed in front of the Golden State people.

The most famous one is the"Black Eight Miracle" in the 2006-07 season. The Warriors relied on this seemingly disorganized tactic to catch the Mavericks off guard and directly sent the Dallas Mavericks, No. 1 in the Western Conference, back home early.

"The"Golden State Gang" has become famous since then.

And this"Black Eight Miracle" happened in 2007, that is, in the first half of this year.

This was the period when the Warriors were at their peak. No one among the Warriors players would think that Their team will be a weak team due to their great success last season, which has strengthened the Warriors' belief in continuing to play run-and-gun. Although Jason Richardson left the Bobcats, the team's The theme has not changed. The Golden State Gang is ready to continue to act as a disruptor in the league in the new season, and even try to win the championship.

If there are no big changes, Yue Yi remembers that after the start of the 2007-08 season, head coach Tang... Nelson will adjust the starting lineup and add scorer Monta Ellis to the starting lineup to make up for the impact of Richardson's departure. Behind that, the Warriors' starting point guard is"bearded" Baron Davis.

Before the rise of James Harden, who could retreat to the moon, the nickname"Big Beard" was Davis's exclusive title.

Davis's strength and speed were among the best among point guards, and his ability to handle the ball was solid. He is good at high-speed cuts and pull-up jumpers, and he also has certain accuracy on three-pointers.

Defensively, Davis can keep up with most defenders and is excellent at stealing.

But off the court, Davis can be described as the embodiment of"angel and devil". He likes it. Conflicts with team management, but able to motivate teammates in the locker room

""Big Beard" is very healthy this season, and is a core figure who can contribute gorgeous statistics and practicality.

The Warriors' starting shooting guard is Monta Ellis, a fast scoring two-way guard.

Ellis is good at pick-and-roll breakthroughs, but his shooting and passing are not stable enough, his shot selection is problematic, and he often makes forced shots, which limits his path to becoming a higher-level star.

In Yue Yi's impression, this guy plays very independently, controls a lot of ball rights, but doesn't like to pass the ball, and doesn't seem to be friendly to rookies. The key is that this guy has a certain overlap with himself in position. It

's difficult to deal with him both on and off the court.

If there is a chance, I must get rid of him, so that I can Only then will he have the opportunity to stand out faster.

The starting small forward is the tall swingman"Captain" Stephen Jackson.

Jackson has a high shooting point and likes to pull up for three-pointers. He can also use his tall body to attack the opponent's guard with his back.

Jackson has a nickname"Martial Saint" among Chinese fans.

Just by looking at his face, you can tell that he is an absolute tough guy. He participated in the famous"Palace of Auburn Hills" incident and is a person who cannot be messed with in the team.

However, he is also a heroic figure. It is a blessing to be his teammate.

The starting power forward is swingman Harrington.

Harrington has strong defense, good rebounding awareness, and has close 38% three-point shooting rate, with him on the court, he can create enough space for his teammates to play one-on-one.

Harrington is quite capable and a qualified starter, but his popularity is not as high as the first three.

The starting center is the American Biedrins.

Biedrins does not look strong, but he is strong and powerful, agile and swift, and even when he cuts inside to attack, his running ability is not inferior to that of a forward, which perfectly fits the Warriors' run-and-gun offensive system, and he has a certain ability to play one-on-one on both the left and right sides when he has his back to the basket.

Compared to the offensive end, Biedrins' performance on the defensive end is more prominent.

He is a natural shot blocker.

When he is on the court, the Warriors' defense is obviously effective.

It has obviously been upgraded to a higher level.

As for the bench, the Warriors'"bench gangsters" should not be underestimated.

Backup forward Matt Barnes is also one of the few all-around players in the league.

Fast break, defense, rebounding, steals, Barnes can always do his best, he is the most relied player on the Warriors bench. He is also a tough guy and a famous cuckold.

There are two things that Yue Yi remembers most about him.

The first one was on the court. When Barnes was serving the baseline ball, he deliberately put the ball in front of Kobe's eyes, but Kobe didn't move at all, didn't even blink, and made the sudden attack by Barnes a joke.

The second thing was off the court,"Old Fish" Fisher's secret with Barnes' wife was once known to everyone, and Barnes even drove home to catch the adultery.

Although these two things have nothing to do with toughness, they do not affect Barnes' image as a tough guy in Yue Yi's mind.

Another substitute forward in the team, Pietrus, is known as the"French Jordan".

Compared with offense, Pietrus is really well-known for his defense, especially his single-soldier defense ability.

Pietrus has strong upper limb strength and good follow-up speed, coupled with excellent defensive awareness, making him one of the best defenders in the league at the time.

Backup point guard Azubu Booker is agile, whether it is a breakthrough layup after passing or a fixed three-point shot, his hit rate is reliable enough.

There is also the Italian shooter Belinelli and the spring man Brandon Knight who can provide good help to the team.

In the first period of the regular season, the Golden State Warriors' run-and-gun style did have a certain effect.

But as the season progressed, the Golden State Warriors' style of play was figured out by other teams, and the Warriors relied on too many single-player tactics, resulting in low offensive efficiency.

And this is in the fanatical Western Conference. You have to know that when entering the top eight in the Western Conference, the minimum winning rate must reach more than 60%.

Compared with the Eastern Conference in the same year, according to calculations, the top 11 teams in the Western Conference are eligible to enter the playoffs in the Eastern Conference.

The fierce competition in the 2007-08 season can be imagined.

In the end, the Warriors, led by a famous coach and full of strong players, who just completed the black eight miracle last season, only ranked ninth in the Western Conference and unfortunately failed to enter the playoffs.

Yue Yi thought of this ending. Now as a member of the Warriors, he felt extremely regretful. He really wanted to change this ending.

But now he is just an undrafted draft pick who has just received a short contract of ten days. Who will take him seriously with these arrogant soldiers and strong players in the team?

Be down-to-earth, integrate yourself into the team first, and gain a foothold first.
