Zhou Xuan bluntly said Stephen at the press conference? Jackson is the boss of the Warriors, but he is not recognized by everyone, and the media likes to make news without news, trying to provoke the Warriors leadership battle with articles.

Is there an expert called Corey? Margeti should be the new leader of the Warriors, and he's one of the best forwards in the league. With the Clippers Brande out last season, Margety's stats are really beautiful, 22. 1 point 5. 6 rebounds 2. 7 assists and 1 steal.

The reason why Jackson is not favored is because of his temper.

He went through 3 life-changing conflicts. One was during a nationally televised game in which he threw himself into a fight at the Palace Arena in Detroit, following teammate Artest into the stands and punching Pistons fans, earning a 30-game ban and lasting negative impressions in the NBA. Two years later, Jackson was again the subject of news media scramble, accused of recklessly shooting outside a strip club in Indianapolis and nearly serving three to three years in prison. The Pacers had to send Jackson to the Golden State Warriors after that. Every time he touched the ball, he drew boos from the home fans. And the earliest conflict was the tragic death of Jackson's brother, who did not participate in the brawl, but was enough to change his character.

In fact, the appearance full of tattoos does not reflect that Jackson is a villain. Duncan has said that Jackson is one of his favorite former teammates, even though during his years with the Spurs, Jackson kicked a chair and threw a towel at coach Popovich when he was substituted.

Popovich also said: "I know his heart, he is a guy who likes to work hard and sweat on the court. ”

Jackson was also a generous man, and he donated money to support a number of activities, including his music company, Secret Society Entertainment, which has signed some local rappers, founded the three-story Stephen Jackson Academy to educate children, and donated money to build a gymnasium. In short, he's a contradiction between a bastard and a good guy.

On the topic of who is the boss, Jackson gave an interview to the media, and his response was modest and professional. Ordinary NBA stars, especially the most famous, are reluctant to judge others, but Jackson is more than happy to give praise to Margety, who has just joined the team. Who will be the boss doesn't seem to be a matter of concern to him.

'Marghetti is a very good player and I'm very happy that he's coming to us this year. We had a great time working together in training. There's no doubt about his quality and I've been contributing to the team and I hope we can lead the team to great results this season together, that's what we're concerned about. ”

Margeti was also interviewed after training. He modestly said that the current boss of the team is Jackson.

'I think it's Stephen, he's the kind of player who is mature and can help the younger players. Margeti said he had just joined the new team and was still in the process of adapting. "Even after I came here, I was trying to adapt to the rhythm of the team, after all, going from one place to another is different, and I hope to be able to adapt as soon as possible and help the team."

The reporter asked Margeti who in the team impressed him the most, because there were experts who said that the core of the Warriors in the new season could also be Andries? Bidrins. Margety's answer came as a surprise. He said: "I am most impressed by the Chinese kid Zhou Xuan, who is more powerful than all of us imagined. ”

"Is that really the case? But he was only selected in the last few rounds of the second round, and he didn't have any outstanding performance in the summer league, and the Rockets gave up on him. The reporter asked.

"It has nothing to do with the pick, Arenas, Ellis, Boozer are all second-round rookies. I bet everyone will be impressed by Zhou when the new season starts, and he will surprise people. ”

Margety's words immediately attracted the attention of the American media.

The Chinese media mainly reported on the other three players. speculate whether the Rocket Big Three in the new season can impact the championship under the leadership of Yao Ming; Discuss whether Yi Jianlian will become the boss of the Nets team in the future, after all, Vince. Carter is old; There is also how much time Sun Yue can get in the Lakers, before the media said that Sun Yue was a "Chinese magician", and now it is said that it is "Chinese Pippen", "Chinese Maddie"......

On October 5, the new NBA preseason officially began, and each team chose an opponent to warm up for the 2008-2009 season.

The Warriors' first opponent is the Western giants New Orleans Hornets, and Zhou Xuan will face Chris, the league's hottest point guard? Paul.

Over the past three years, Paul's performance in assists has been improving. Last season he was the league's assist leader, with 925 assists throughout the season; Within 100 assists of this number, there is only Steve in the league? Nash vs. Delon? Williams two players. It's been a long time since anyone has averaged 20 points per game while contributing 10 assists. There's no doubt that Paul is also an excellent scorer, and his shooting percentage is one of the best among defenders. He shot 48 from the field. 8 percent, and at the free throw line he has 85. 1% performance. Contribute an average of 1 per game. Paul shot 36 from the three-point line with one three-pointer. 9%。

Paul isn't a defensive black hole like Nash either. Last season, he topped the steals charts with 217 tackles. ALTHOUGH HE IS ONLY 183CM TALL, HE IS DEFINITELY A SUPERB BALL BREAKER.

David? West, Tyson? Chandler, Peja? Stojakovic is also a good player, and the Hornets' pick-and-roll offense is sharp, but unfortunately they can't go far in the playoffs because of lack of bench depth.

To Paul's dismay, management didn't spend a lot of money on rostering this summer. The only big deal was the signing of James for 4 years and 25 million? Posey. This is very unwise in the eyes of ESPN and TNT radio experts, and it is wise for Celtic to pull back from the precipice and not make a matching offer.

In both the Heat and the Celtics' championship feats, Posey seems to have played an important role, winning two championships in three years. When a team wins a championship, the role players on that team are always overestimated. Posey's defense, rebounding, and three-point shooting are a team's treasures. He's not a pure defensive player who can contribute some points to the team in addition to defense. Over the past three seasons, he's shot 40 from the field. 3%，37。 5 percent and 38 percent, while also being a defensive rebounding specialist, last season, he averaged rebounding efficiency in the top three of all small forwards.

But Posey also has a number of flaws that make people frown, such as his penchant for three-point shooting, and last season he focused two-thirds of his shots from the perimeter, the fourth-highest percentage of any player in the league. And his attacking attitude has not been so aggressive all along. Also, he is 31 years old and has an average of 8 per game in his career. 1 point veteran is so fat, some over.

Like Dan? Marley, the sharpshooter who was still sharp at the age of 30, but was reduced to scrap by the age of 32; Like Jay? Jackson, who played well at the age of 32 but lacked form in the following season; And Byron? Russell, who couldn't find his form after the age of 31, spent the next four years surviving, and there are too many bloody examples.

Judging by the composition of the Hornets team, signing Posey is also a question mark. The Hornets' first priority should be to replenish the interior line, and Chandler and West don't even have a qualified bench. Their summer trading is rated C, with only C- below that, and B, A, and S above.

The Warriors' reinforcement work this summer is also not in place, and the stars and new signings are not favored except for Margety, and the rating is also C, and the Hornets are like a pair of difficult brothers in the West. Fortunately, the pressure on the Warriors is much less, their goal is only to make the playoffs, and the Hornets are still shouting slogans before the game to win the championship, which is purely a dream, and it is more likely that the starting trident will be crippled.

These two teams also have a characteristic, that is, they are very beautiful in attack. Because of this, it attracted a large number of Golden State fans to watch the game.

In the evening, some Chinese fans held up signs in the stands with the words "China's No. 1 Defender" written in Chinese characters to support Zhou Xuan. I haven't played an international game or the NBA regular season, and I am already China's No. 1 guard, I don't know how Liu Wei and Sun Yue will feel if they know it.

This preseason game in China was also broadcast live on Sina.com, and there were many people waiting in front of the computer to follow.

When he heard the on-site announcer call his name, Zhou Xuan's heart beat wildly, and he waved his hand and walked to the middle of the field. Finally officially debuted on the NBA court, even if it's only a preseason game, and he'll always remember this day.

It's a great opportunity to prove yourself against a superstar, but will this guy give his all today? Maybe for Paul, it was an exhibition game, right? During the warm-up, Zhou Xuan looked in the direction of Paul and found that he was talking and laughing with his teammates, and he didn't go into the court to throw a few balls to try his touch.

Paul knows the current situation of the Warriors, the star guard left, but only signed a Chinese reinforcement No. 1 position, the move is a little strange. Paul didn't take a newcomer like Zhou Xuan seriously at all. Every year, a large number of newcomers enter the NBA, and they are generally replaced and forgotten if they can't make a small wave. The NBA is a place of cutthroat competition, and success is not just one in a million.

Stephen? Jackson walked up to Zhou Xuan, patted him on the shoulder hard, and said softly: "It's just a preseason game, relax a little." ”

Zhou Xuan smiled: "I'm not nervous, I'm just excited, the first game against Paul is really great." ”

"It's good to be excited, but you have to play with it, especially on the defensive end, and don't get hurt in a warm-up game like this. The regular season is your stage, and the playoffs are the time to fight hard. Do I know what I said about this? Because your small body is really unsettling, once you get injured, the task of team organization has to be put on me alone. Jackson's expression was serious, and he reminded Zhou Xuan of this rookie with the attitude of the captain.

"I'll be careful, Xie Luxie."

Jackson said that this was certainly a good intention, because injuries have ruined too many NBA players. Zhou Xuan is very aware of his weaknesses and knows how to do what he can. Whether it's Leonard, Mitchell, or even the Olsen sisters, they all advise him to be careful when playing. Players like Rodman often save the ball sideways and do dangerous maneuvers because they have good physical fitness, and they can't hurt and fall to death. If he had done a dangerous move, he might have died.
