Super All-around Point Guard

Chapter 664 The most powerful opponent!

If the Warriors are ambitious to break their regular season record last season, they can only lose 8 games this season. And after six games in the new season, they have already lost one game. There are still many strong teams waiting for them in the future. Challenge, they must be very careful and very lucky. After all, the Warriors are an unprecedented super team. If they really enter the super team mode and break the winning streak and break the 73-win record, it may not be impossible!

The Warriors, who only lost 9 games last season, lost two games to Xie Chen's team. In the minds of many Warriors fans, these two games should not be lost. If they win these two games, the record will be 75 wins, what a terrifying record!

"Although I don't think the Lakers are qualified to beat the Warriors, this guy gets excited when he beats the Warriors! I'm really afraid that the Warriors will lose to them." Warriors fans became a little uneasy, facing other players When they were a weak team, they always showed strong confidence, but facing Xie Chen, they did not dare to show this confidence. After all, Xie Chen had been slapped in the face too many times in the past...

Durant was wearing the white and blue home jersey of the Warriors, standing there with an indifferent look. Xie Chen looked at him, and he also looked at Xie Chen, looking at Durant who was in the familiar Warriors team, Xie Chen I always feel like he doesn't fit in with the people inside. Maybe I'm used to seeing him in the Thunder, but now I feel very awkward when I see him wearing a Warriors jersey.

The number 35 on the Thunder jersey is very large and eye-catching, while the number 35 on the Warriors jersey is in a small circle. A figure like Durant seems to be more suitable for the Thunder jersey.

Speaking of Durant's Thunder jerseys, after Durant announced that he was joining the Warriors, a store in Oklahoma City marked his Thunder jerseys at a bargain price. The original price of the jersey was $69.99, but it was only sold for $48. point! It's about three yuan, which is an unprecedented 0.1% discount. Although Oklahoma City fans were very disappointed and angry about Durant's departure, these cheap jerseys were sold out quickly.

At the same time, after Durant came to the Warriors, the sales of his Warriors jerseys were very hot. The NBA has now approved the team to sell advertisements on the jerseys. With Durant joining the Warriors, the Warriors have become the first in the league to receive sponsorship fees in this regard. The highest team can receive nearly 20 million US dollars in sponsorship fees every year!

Xie Chen and Durant walked toward each other at the same time. Xie Chen pointed at Durant's jersey and said, "You look weird in this dress."

Durant thought Xie Chen was mocking him. After making the decision, he had heard too many such remarks, and he felt that Xie Chen had no right to mock him. Didn't Xie Chen also leave his hometown team and switch to another club? Another team? Some people burned Durant’s Thunder jerseys, and some burned Xie Chen’s Knicks jerseys.

Durant also pointed to the Lakers jersey on Xie Chen and said: "You look weird wearing a Lakers jersey. But these are not important. When we win the championship, everything will become pleasing to the eye."

Xie Chen shot back: "It seems like you are not even number one in the Western Conference now."

Durant chuckled: "Haha, do you really think you can maintain the number one spot in the Western Conference? It's so funny!"

Xie Chen and Durant are now mortal enemies. He joined the Warriors to completely end Xie Chen's dream of consecutive championships and force Xie Chen to leave the West. During the Olympics, the two got along fairly harmoniously, but during the regular season, the two It's completely opposite.

Kate Upton also came to the scene and saw the two getting together before the game. She was very curious and wanted to know what the two were talking about.

"Hey, what are you talking about?" Stephen Curry, who has always been the Warriors' signature, walked over with a smile, and then said to Xie Chen: "In the past games with us, I competed with you. Xie, tonight it's yours The opponent has changed, did you see it? Your opponent is him."

Curry pointed at Durant. In the past, the two always yelled before the game. However, this time, Curry took the initiative to withdraw from the battle and gave up the protagonist's position to Durant.

Curry and Durant have known each other since they were 10 years old. They are the same age, and Curry is a few months older than Durant. But when Durant saw Curry when he was 10 years old, because Curry was relatively small, and Durant thought he was a kid. Moreover, at that time, Curry was already shooting three-pointers from NBA range. Durant even mistook the baby-faced Curry for a white man.

During Curry's junior season, Curry's school played against a university with Griffin. At that time, Durant also came to watch. Griffin scored 25 points and 21 rebounds in that game, while Curry, Scored 44 points.

Therefore, before Curry entered the NBA, Durant was already deeply impressed by this guy and admired him very much. After Curry became famous, Durant also felt that it was natural. In addition, Curry's character is similar to Duran's. Te is a good match. Although he sometimes looks arrogant on the court, he is friendly and is not a player who values ​​personal honors. All of the above reasons have led to the two of them playing on the same team now.

Seeing Curry and Durant appear on the same screen, it felt like a bit of bullying. Xie Chen knew how strong they were and showed no sign of weakness: "You two come together, I can't wait to join you as a super ball player." Team fight!"

Seeing Xie Chen leave without fear, Curry also smiled softly: "We were originally going to bully you together, man."

The game started soon. This duel between many superstars also made the host Yu Jia excited: "The players from both sides jumped the ball in the middle circle, and the Warriors took the lead in gaining the ball. This game made people feel that it was not a routine game. game, my mood is the same as commentating on a finals game!"

The game has finally begun. For this showdown with the Warriors, the start is very important. It is very scary to have three super scorers, Curry, Durant, and Thompson on the court at the same time. Once they are defeated, It is very possible to fall behind by many points in just a few minutes, or even directly ruin the game. Xie Chen must not let the Warriors beat the Lakers 10:0 from the beginning. In that case, the Lakers' self-confidence will be damaged. , it will become increasingly difficult to fight later.

"I must take the initiative." Xie Chen said secretly. Looking at the five guys opposite, Xie Chen was also more serious and focused than ever before.

Although the Warriors got Durant, they also sacrificed a lot. Old Warriors players such as Barbosa, Bogut, Speights, and Barnes were all gone. Although none of them wanted to leave, the Warriors got Zagreb. Zapachulia is a 32-year-old center. Pachulia is 2.11 meters tall and 125 kilograms. He has played in the NBA for 13 seasons and has rich experience.

After Bogut left, Pachulia was the one to replace Bogut. In terms of defense, Pachulia was worse than Bogut, especially in terms of protecting the basket and blocking shots. Bogut had the advantage, but in terms of defense, Pachulia was worse than Bogut. Pachulia has better rebounding ability, especially offensive rebounds, which are top-notch in the league. In one game last season, Pachulia grabbed 18 offensive rebounds in a single game, tying 30. The single-game rebound record for an NBA player in 2016 was previously held by Charles Barkley and Rodman.

In terms of support organization, both of them are still very capable, and Pachulia has no problem adapting to this team.

In addition, the Warriors also acquired David West. David West is also Xie Chen’s enemy. Last season, he gave up a high salary and joined the Spurs at a low price just to prevent Xie Chen from winning the championship. Unexpectedly, he made the wrong choice. Battleship, it was not the Spurs who reached the finals, but the Warriors. This time, he saw that Durant had joined the Warriors, so he simply applied to join. It only costs more than one million US dollars a year, which is a great value for Warriors. of trading.

In the Warriors' first offense, Durant held the ball and hit Ingram, who is known as Durant's replica!

Durant had contact with this young rookie. During the offseason, Ingram served as a sparring partner to train with members of the U.S. Men's Basketball Team. Durant commented on him at the time, as if he was looking in the mirror. , Ingram is so similar to himself.

Durant also knew that he was Ingram's idol and someone to learn from, so the first time the two faced off, Durant forced himself to dominate the opponent!

Durant dribbled the ball under his hips, made a breakthrough to the right, made an emergency stop, and jumped up to make a mid-range shot. Ingram was not out of position at all, but did not cause any interference to Durant's shot. Durant Easy two points!

"Ingram is still too young, and Durant beat him too easily." Zhang Weiping commented.

Yu Jia also said: "Yes, the Warriors scored first here. Let's see how the Lakers respond."

When the Warriors got the first point, Xie Chen was already a little panicked. He had to be cautious. The opponent's lineup scored too fast. 2 points could easily turn into 10 points or more in the blink of an eye.

Xie Chen had to start his personal scoring mode from the beginning. With the help of Mozgov's pick-and-roll, Xie Chen immediately threw a three-pointer from outside the three-point line after getting rid of Curry's defense. Curry's ability Still as trustworthy as ever, he hit the first ball accurately!

"It's that damn three-pointer again!" Seeing Xie Chen's three-pointer, the fans at the scene got a headache.

After Luke Walton saw it, he felt a lot more relaxed: "Very good, we must score at the beginning and we can't let them widen the score."

Walton was very excited when he returned to the Warriors' home court. He walked out from here and he really wanted to prove his strength again here.

Warriors coach Steve Kerr’s desire to win is much stronger than Walton’s. Last season, when Kerr won the best coach award, he dragged Walton on stage with him because he was recovering from injuries in the regular season. , Walton coached many games for him, and Walton also contributed to the 73 wins, but in fact, Cole did not feel that Walton was qualified to enjoy this credit, because the strength of the Warriors team was there, and he really wanted to see Walton After going to the Lakers, he led the team alone and ran into trouble, but Cole did not get what he wanted.

"Luke Walton has never lost a game since he became the coach of the Lakers! You are so lucky to get a player like Xie, but even with Xie here, you will definitely lose this game. !" Cole quietly looked at his former assistant.

Durant and the Warriors have a common enemy, Xie Chen. This time they are united. If they can't give Xie Chen some color, then they are too incompetent.

Xie Chen has been relying on his own personal ability to maintain the score, while the Warriors still rely on the almighty team strength. It can be clearly seen that it is difficult for the Lakers to score, while the Warriors score very easily, and there is basically no interference and difficult progress. The Lakers' defense also showed its weakness in front of the Warriors.

In the first five minutes, the two sides played inextricably. Xie Chen was the player with the most points, followed by Durant. As expected, Curry gave the leading role to Durant as he said before the game, because Durant was better than Curry. I hate Xie Chen even more. Xie Chen took Curry’s trophies and honors, but Xie Chen took Durant’s trophies from a woman!

"I want to fight for Scarlett Johansson! I want to fight for Kate Upton!" Durant was full of fighting spirit.

Yu Jia also said excitedly: "This game is so beautiful! It's not like a regular season at all. Xie Chen and Durant are playing this game as if it were a playoff game. They are very serious about offense and defense." .I haven’t seen a regular season game like this in a long time.”

Zhang Weiping also said: "Yes, although it is an ordinary regular season, everyone wants to win. The Lakers want to continue their winning streak and keep first place in the Western Conference, while the Warriors may still want to break the record. They have already lost one game, so they must not If we lose again, and even if we lose, we can’t lose to a team with Xie Chen. I guess the score between the two sides will not be widened in a short time.”

As soon as Director Zhang said this, a scene completely different from what was expected happened on the field!

Klay Thompson first hit a corner three-pointer to help the team expand the score advantage to 5 points. When the Lakers were about to attack in return, Durant completed a steal from Ingram!

Upon seeing this, Curry immediately ran forward. Durant and Curry had a tacit understanding. They passed the ball to Curry in two dribbles. Xie Chen stared at Curry. If Curry wanted to go for a layup, Xie Chen thought It was still possible to guard him, but unexpectedly, Curry just passed the center line and was still far away from the three-point line. He directly threw a super long three-pointer!

Uh-huh!

Hit the ball!

"Damn it, has Curry's long-range three-point ability been upgraded again?" Xie Chen was a little depressed, and the point difference was widened to 8 points.

But here, the Warriors' madness is far from over!

The Warriors adopted the strictest defense against Xie Chen. Xie Chen did not choose one-on-two in this attack, but passed the ball to his teammates. Unfortunately, his teammates did not complete the shot. Pachulia steadily got the rebound!

"The warriors are about to rise!" Yu Jia said excitedly.

The entire Lakers team is at 100% to face the Warriors' defense. They will never let the Warriors score easily!

However, what no one expected was that Durant actually shot a long three-pointer from the spot where Curry shot just now!

"What?" Everyone was stunned.

Uh-huh!

All I could hear was the crisp sound of the basketball hitting the net...
