Some people are in a bad mood, they will be depressed, they will be decadent, maybe they will grow their hair, they will grow a beard, they will drink to kill their sorrows, all kinds of depraved ways.

Zhou Xuan only stayed at home for a few days before he went to San Antonio to chat with Duncan and practice, but he didn't wear the leather shoes, watches, and necklaces he endorsed as before, and he was a little more low-key.

Despite this, Zhou Xuan is still the most page-grabbing person in the United States. People didn't see his girlfriend during the holidays, and there was widespread speculation that they had broken up. There is also speculation in the Chinese media that he will leave the Warriors and perhaps join the Spurs, because he has a good personal relationship with Duncan, and the two have joined forces and are invincible.

This speculation is very unreasonable. If Zhou Xuan goes to the Spurs, Tony? Where does Parker go? It is impossible for an efficient Frenchman to be a substitute. And the "GDP" trio came to the league with the Spurs, and it doesn't look like they will transfer.

On the 19th, Zhou Xuan returned to Auckland and stayed at home for a week to rest and recharge his energy to prepare for the new season. On the 26th, the preseason training camp opened. After the Warriors' media day, the first public training session of the new season will be held.

The players were there en masse, along with three people who were invited to play pre-season. Kings veteran inside line Mickey? Moore, the rocking man Devin that Mavericks gave up? George, and veteran defender Speedy? Claxton. THE 180CM TALL CLARKSTON HAS A LOT OF EXPERIENCE, HAVING PLAYED WITH THE WARRIORS AND PEAKED AT 13 IN 2005. 1 point 6. 2 assists.

With only a maximum of 15 people left in the hesitation, the competition is very fierce, and the full team list is as follows.

Center: Ronnie? Turyaf, Anthony? Randolph, Mickey? Moles.

Power Forward: Zach? Randolph, Brandon? Wright, DeJuan? Blair.

Small forward: Corey? Margeti, Madi? Collins, Devon? George, Gerald? Green.

Shooting Guard: Monta? Ellis, Corunna? Azubuuk, Stephen? Jackson, Nando? De Collo.

Point guards: Zhou Xuan, CJ Watson, Claxton.

Teammates who played side by side last season greeted each other when they met, and Randolph looked a little fatter again, having played all summer because of the championship.

Jackson stepped forward and hugged Zhou Xuan, and said with a smile: "You kid is running around, I want to ask you to have a meal but I can't find anyone." I heard that most of the holidays are practiced, so I should have made progress again, right? ”

"You'll see you when you play training." Zhou Xuan smiled.

Ellis was not idle in the summer, and came up to say hello with a confident smile on his face. "I'm going to surprise you, I've been practicing long-range throwing for a long time."

"I believe we will cooperate tacitly, Zhou Xuan and Ellis fist each other."

Azubuke saw some problems and asked, "Zhou, you don't seem to have any energy, I watched the news, is it because of Nie?" ”

Zhou Xuan nodded and sighed again.

The newcomers all showed off their jerseys, some of which were temporary, and Zhou Xuan continued to wear No. 12. Several new faces also came to greet him. Green behaved most naturally, playing street ball, and the two were already old acquaintances.

There's no denying that Green has the quality, as long as he's a little more steady, at least he's a good bench and can be responsible for stealing points. And he's very good at running and shooting, so Mullin will definitely sign him.

Zhou Xuan noticed that Margety, Jackson and others all had varying degrees of slackness and won the championship, and their mentality seemed to be too relaxed.

Most of the newcomers have a solemn expression, especially De Corlo, who will have to return to Europe if he can't get a contract this time. He still hopes to play in the NBA as soon as possible.

Assembled, new boss Joey? Lacob gave a speech at the event, talking about his plans and prospects for the future. Zhou Xuan felt that he was a person who was very good at "painting big cakes", and he had a set of morale boosters.

Coach Smart has also mobilized and they have one goal for the new season, which is the defending champions. None of the other results will be satisfactory.

After speaking, Smart called Zhou Xuan to his side and asked, "Can I let you bring a substitute in a training match for a while?" I want to train the second playmaker. ”

"Okay, it's better to be a full substitute." Anyway, it's training, and Zhou Xuan is not afraid of anyone now. After practicing with Jordan Jr., he was very confident in passing the interior after blocking and dismantling.

Smart Zhidao Zhou Xuan improved his confidence by playing street ball, and said with a smile: "This is what you requested, let's do it in a while." ”

After the lap warm-up, the competition began, and the players were divided into two teams with 9 players on one side. Assistant coach Stephen? Silas led the bench against Smart.

As soon as they saw the lineup on Zhou Xuanbai's side, the fans whispered. This is really an all-off bench, inside Turiaf, Wright, Blair, Moore. Forward Green, George. Shooting guards Azubuke and De Corlo. Point guard Zhou Xuan.

Looking at the lineup of the yellow team, in addition to the point guard, it was the main force last season.

The two sides stood in the middle of the field, and the white team was not on the strongest formation, and the five were Zhou Xuan, De Corlo, Green, Blair, and Turyaf. Three newcomers.

The five members of the Yellow Team are Claxton, Ellis, Jackson, Margetty, Zach? Randolph. This was a common small-ball tactic last season, with only veteran Claxton being a newcomer. Smart's purpose is very simple, to see if this veteran is worth signing, after all, the player is full, and he wants to sign a potential newcomer.

The race is on. The white team doesn't need to say any tactics at all, Zhou Xuan controls the ball, blocks and dismantles inside, and then looks at the stars.

Randolph unexpectedly wins over Turyaf on the jump ball. Claxton dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, De Colo defended, the veteran passed the ball to Ellis, and Zhou Xuan followed.

Let me see what you've been doing this holiday season. Ellis thought to himself, dribbling the ball under his hip continuously to break through the right side, Zhou Xuan followed him in one step, and blocked the breakthrough route with his left leg, so that he could not get up to speed, Ellis dribbled with his back and turned around and jumped up in the middle, and Zhou Xuan then jumped up and interfered with the shot. Ellis practiced shooting hard, wanted to show the results, and shot very resolutely, but Zhou Xuan interfered very well, his hand blocked his eyes, and the ball hit the iron off.

Turiaf grabbed the backcourt rebound and passed it to Zhou Xuan. The white team was not in a hurry to fight back, Zhou Xuan waved his hand and asked his teammates to go to the two bottom corners, and everyone pulled away. The two inside lines wanted to come out to cover, and Zhou Xuan also waved his hand, letting them go to the basket, and he wanted to play alone.

Although Claxton is a veteran, he does not dare to hold it up, he is not a great figure in the NBA, and he is satisfied with a mixed base salary. Zhou Xuan dribbled the ball under his crotch twice, and the range of action was very large, which was different from last season. He held the ball in his right hand and burst to the right, and another crotch dribble passed the opponent with his speed, and he made a 60-degree jumper on the right side.

Margeti made a save to defend a little slower and the ball hollowed into the net. 2 to 0.

It's too slow, so you can't use it to stay, you can beat him just by speed, and you don't have the height yet. This is Zhou Xuan's evaluation of Claxton, which is simply a bit amateurish.

The Yellow team attacked, the organization was very simple, to the front court to Jackson, Jackson relied on Margeti to cover the breakthrough, and was followed by Blair.

Blair is explosive, very fast-moving, shorter than Jackson and stronger than Margety, and belongs to the alternative interior line. Jackson passed the ball to the middle, Margeti singled out Azubuuk, missed the jumper, and the rebound was grabbed by Blair.

This time, Ellis followed Zhou Xuan to the top of the arc. Zhou Xuan didn't say a word and looked for a block, Turiav came out to cover and blocked Ellis, Zhou Xuan took the ball and walked on the left side, and Margeti changed defenses.

In the past, when he encountered this kind of misalignment, Zhou Xuan rarely played on his own, he would open the space to cross the inside line, or look for shooting opportunities on the periphery. But this time he held the ball in his right hand with his face and paused slightly, bringing his left hand closer to the ball. Margeti took a step forward, Zhou Xuan immediately changed direction to the left, this trick "worship Buddha" he was already very familiar with, and the start speed was fast, passing Margeti's left side of the 45-degree emergency stop jump shot.

Margeti turned around and didn't have time to jump, Zhou Xuanqiu had already shot, hollow into the net! 4 to 0.

This kid is getting better and better. Jackson thought to himself. He asked for the ball on the periphery and was ready to return one. He has played 20+4+4, but last season he averaged only 13 points per game. This season he wants to find the feeling of being a boss again.

There's a multiple-choice question online that asks "Who do you think is the leader of the Warriors?" Eighty-three percent of the people voted for Zhou Xuan, and Jackson received fewer votes than Margety, which made him very mentally unbalanced.

Jackson asked for the ball, Ellis also asked for the ball, and Claxton didn't have the confidence to attack with the ball at all and passed to Jackson. Randolph pulled out again to cover. Jackson broke through with the ball, Blair blocked him, and Turiaf stayed under the basket. Margeti immediately pulled to the periphery.

If the ball is passed to Margeti is a good chance, the worst can be to pull Turyaf out of the line. But Jackson didn't pass because he faced "Rookie" Blair.

Blair's breakthrough to the perimeter players was still able to keep up with the pace, relying on Jackson all the way to the low post on the right and raising his hand to interfere. Jackson leaned his back and turned to the middle to shoot with a half-hook shot, but the ball went wide again.

Randolph and Turyaf were in a fierce position, and Zhou Xuan rushed into the inside, accurately judged the direction of the ball popping up, and won the backcourt rebound.

Green immediately went down. Zhou Xuan landed and turned around and threw the ball to the frontcourt. Ellis retreated the fastest, keeping up with Green, Zhou Xuan's pass was very high, Green jumped high at the free throw line to take the basketball and turned around on the right side with his back dribbling, he relied on his height advantage to force a shot, and scored a one-handed cricket. 6 to 0.

In the next round, the players of the yellow team felt very faceless, and Zhou Xuan suppressed them with a group of substitutes. Ellis and Randolph played a pick-and-roll combination to get the ball back to the middle. Turyaf defended out, and Zhou Xuan was misplaced to chase the empty Margeti.

Randolph was a little stupid with a rest, and when he saw Margeti's vacant position, he immediately passed over there, and Zhou Xuan went around from behind Turyaf and accurately broke the ball, forming a fast attack. Ellis chased after Zhou Xuan, and Zhou Xuan passed the ball to Blair, who was quickly inserted, in the run. The latter took a step forward after receiving the ball and scored with both hands. 8 to 0.

It was a beautiful goal that had the fans cheering loudly.
