Chapter 455: China Competition

Needless to say, Xu Xuan's return to China is not too much, plus the aftermath of leading the Chinese men's basketball team to win the Olympic silver medal just now has not dissipated, when the Lakers landed from the Modu International Airport, even the Lakers players who are used to seeing big scenes were shocked by Xu Xuan's popularity.

"I'm rubbing! I'm rubbing, rubbing, rubbing! Xu, you're so popular, you can't call all your old family here, right? Nick Yang looked funny, bared his teeth and grinned: "Xu, in order to save face, isn't it?" ”

"Call someone?" Yi Jianlian, who was more familiar with the situation, glanced back at him and chuckled: "If Xu Xuan called someone, you might never have imagined that scene in your life." ”

The Lakers players pouted, Nick Young is not a newcomer to the Lakers, he is an old man who has been with Kobe, it can be said that I don't know how many big scenes I have seen, but today's reception, to be honest, Kobe Bryant did not have such momentum.

Of course, when he first arrived, the Lakers were already on the decline, and Kobe Bryant was ...... popularity at his peak

The Warriors arrived the next day, and learned from the grapevine that the Lakers arrived when they picked up the airport, and the elementary school students were envious, so they called Xu Xuan that night, saying that they were very envious and jealous, and they wanted to treat Xu Xuan's "unhealthy trends" well.

Xu Xuan raised his middle finger and ignored him.

When you do that, you'll come back to you.

When Xu Xuan and others came to the stadium a day in advance to adapt, they found that there were already many people outside, although the game had to start the next day, but many fans came a day in advance.

The training process was nothing to look at, but after discussing with Xu Xuan on Da Yao's side, Xu Xuan went to ask for Coach Frank's consent and promised to let the group of national players observe them while they were training.

In fact, there is nothing to watch, when the Olympic Games, the men's basketball team even watched the training of the dream team.

But if you really want to say it, there is still a little difference.

The NBA team is an NBA team, and it is still a little different from the national team.

The tactics are relatively more detailed and rigorous.

Frank was very satisfied, Xu Xuan could have asked them to come over directly, but he didn't do this, but came to apply with him first, this is emotional intelligence.

The Lakers' training is also nothing to hide, because Coach Frank doesn't plan to expose anything in the preseason, even if the opponent is the Warriors.

......

At 8 p.m., the China game between the Lakers and Warriors began.

The scene was boiling.

The two sides are also really fighting, Curry's guy said that he wanted to slip Xu Xuan, but how could he really play with his life in the preseason, it was not yet time.

And at this time, whoever wants to leak the bottom now, they want to hide it for a while, and they don't care about winning or losing in the preseason, and that's what matters in the regular season.

However, after seeing Xu Xuan dunk two baskets in succession and caused huge cheers at the scene, this guy was not to be outdone and made two three-pointers on the outside, all of which went in.

There's no defense, and it's so boring to have to play defense in the preseason.

To put it bluntly, the preseason is a warm-up game to some extent, and the defense thing will only be taken out when you play with your life, and the preseason will be forgotten.

However, it was said that it would be fought casually, but while it was fighting, the two teams were really swordsmen and guns.

The managers of the two teams can't stop it, they can arrange squad rotation, but if the players on the field have to fight with real guns, they can't stop it.

Although it is not the same as what was said, but the two teams played seriously, the game was still very good-looking, Xu Xuan and Yi Jianlian's blocking and dismantling cooperation, Lu Wei's three points, Ingram's high receiving strategy, the two pitchers ran well, although it was a positional battle, but the Lakers' offense was quite beautiful.

Not to mention the Warriors, Curry also played a pick-and-roll, and Klay had all kinds of subtle combinations.

But there was no real fight, and in the fourth quarter of the game, when the Lakers were 20 points behind, Xu Xuan just slipped off the court and walked away to watch the show......

Coach Zhang Lili and Coach Yu Jia, who were specially invited to the scene to commentate, were also analyzing the game.

"The Warriors are still strong, I guess I'm watching last year's Finals, and I may still want to believe that the Warriors will win the championship in the end." Yu Jia said.

"A record-breaking 73 wins, Curry's exaggerated 400 three-pointers. Then the epic reversal of the Thunder into the finals, just one championship away from perfect, unfortunately, in the end, it fell short. ”

Yu Jia's tone was a little emotional.

He really didn't expect the Pacers to win the championship last season.

73 is the strongest record ever, there is no one!

"But a loss in the Finals won't affect their record-breaking greatness in the regular season." Zhang's point of view is also clear.

"Losing to the Pacers last season, I can only say that Xu Xuan is too strong."

Seeing Zhang Li say this sentence in an emotional, high-altitude tone, the corners of Yu Jia's mouth twitched.

Playing with birds and playing with birds, this guy's ability to "blow up" seems to be even higher?

This realization, no, if I continue like this, I will fall behind...... If you fall behind, you will be beaten, and Yu Jia is ready to keep up with the pace of Director Zhang.

And Zhang is still immersed in analyzing the rhythm of the Warriors.

"There are people who say that the Warriors are strong, and there are people who say that they are lucky, but why the Warriors can win, many people can't say why

First and foremost, the Warriors are a team that relies heavily on fast breaks and transition offense.

The Warriors have a cadence of 101.65 overs per game, the second-fastest in the league. They have a high percentage of random offenses, with a scoring ratio of 30.1%, ranking third in the league. The efficiency of 0.966 points per mess is not high, and they can only rank 15th in the league, for the simple reason that the Warriors like to concede three points when they are in chaos...... Although your three-point is very accurate, and a few fast-break three-pointers can directly beat people out of temper, but on the whole, fast-break three-point is not a conventional means of fast-break after all, and it is still mainly based on not entering! ”

Zhang Li took a sip of water and continued: "This is in stark contrast to other teams that play steadily and grasp every opportunity after catching the opponent's mistakes.

Then moving on to positional warfare, the Warriors are one of the teams that rely the most on passing the ball in positional warfare.

His 47 percent off-ball scoring percentage ranks fifth in the league. With a large number of high-quality and even epic three-point players, the Warriors' off-ball offensive efficiency ranks first in the league with 1.107 points per game.

The Warriors have a lot of off-ball routines, except for the fact that they don't like to shoot shots from distance to shooters with inside hands (because they all shoot threes), they are very proficient in other off-ball play, and they are basically one of the teams with the highest percentage of open cuts in the league.

With these two outputs, the Warriors have very few ball-handling singles, scoring only 22 rounds. 9% is the lowest in the league. ”

Yu Jia also nodded, agreeing with Zhang's reasonable analysis.

Saying that, Zhang Li talked about the reinforcements of the Warriors this year.

Zhang Li pointed to Durant below: "In our opinion, the Warriors are the most successful of all teams in the NBA this year, except ......for the Lakers, of course."

Yu Jia: "......"

Can you leave some for me to blow it, you're done blowing, how can I keep up with you?

"Without losing most of the team's core roster, they brought in a top five player in the league, MVP-level Durant.

In my opinion, this is an S-level operation.

In this league, as long as you can trade role players for the top 5 players in the league, even if you sacrifice most of the lineup, it is worth it, many people say that there is only one ball, how to score? It's the coach's problem, but I'll give you the same problem, there's only one ball, and there's only one shot at the end! Then it's worth it for a bunch of role players to change to a top-5 supergiant in the league! No matter how good a group of puzzle players are, it is easy to get stuck because the core is not strong enough in the playoff stage. ”

Saying that, Zhang Li continued: "But now with Durant, it's different, Durant is so suitable for the Warriors, I know I can't imagine that there is a second person in the league who will adapt to the rhythm of the Warriors so well."

In the past, when Curry and Klay couldn't find their touch, the Warriors' offense would fall into a mess, but now with Durant, when Curry and Klay can't find their touch, he can come out and take over the game. Zhang Li pointed to the playing field below: "Well, that's it now." ”

The scene that appeared on the court was the scene where Durant stopped the bleeding with a clean dry pull after Curry missed consecutive three-point shots.

"Believe me, guys, this scene, you will often see in the future, Durant is not just a simple franchise, this will be a huge chemical reaction."

Zhang Reason, Rory, analyzed a lot.

Yu Jia is also very good at things, and immediately sent the conversation: "In fact, this team has only one shortcoming in the lineup at present, that is, the ability to protect the frame. The team lost two of their best rim guards in a row, and the additions of David Lee and Zaza were both floor-flowing insiders who defended well for a while, but were completely unable to protect the rim. The team has to completely limit the opponent from the outside and from the mid-range, and once the opponent has a chance to finish under the basket, there is nothing the team can do. ”

"Unless ......," Zhang reasonably hesitated.

Yu Jia immediately said: "Unless what? ”

"Unless Zaza does something, otherwise, the inside line is really not their world." Zhang Reasonable Guidance is also blunt.

He has nothing to be afraid of, not to mention that Zaza really did something to Xu Xuan at the beginning, this guy is not a good person.

On the court, Xu Xuan was also observing the lineup on the Warriors' side, although he was resting, his eyes never left the court.

Especially Durant.

Durant is a bit of a low-key right now.

Or rather, it's not a little, it's quite low-key.

There are not many shots in the team, often when Curry and Klay have no chances, or can't find their touch, he will silently take the ball, even Green, who has more shots than Durant in this game today.

But Durant was very silent and didn't say anything special.

Durant is a smart guy, and smart guys like to play smart basketball; Durant is also a straight person who is not good at social and public relations, so much so that he will go when he says it, and never hides or justifies anything for himself. So when he came to the warriors and slandered the whole world, he still didn't explain anything.

It wasn't until recently that he said to Bill Simmons that there was nothing insurmountable between him and Wei Shao, but the media and public opinion always liked to over-interpret. Durant doesn't like the media, and everyone should remember that he once faced interviews with all kinds of favoritism and anger.

There was a time when even the local Oklahoma media disparaged him in the 2014 playoffs, when the front page of the Russian newspaper called him "Mr. Untrustworthy." So, don't blame Durant's decision, the Russian city was not friendly to him back then.

Durant came to the Golden State Warriors with the ultimate dream of basketball, learning the most advanced team offense in the league today, and he integrated into one of the most harmonious team systems.

He knows exactly what he wants, why he came to the Warriors, and why he wants to join forces with Curry and Klay.

Chaowen said that he has no regrets about dying, constantly learning and constantly improving himself, which is the eternal goal of an excellent basketball player. And winning and winning the championship is a superstar's lifelong pursuit, Durant is a player who has won the MVP, he is a four-time scoring champion, he has already got the personal honors he deserves, and he has already experienced the fame and status he deserves.

Therefore, before he reaches his goal, he will endure, and he will endure it.

Of course, I can't bear it...... It's time for him to leave.

This point has been referred to by later generations.

Xu Xuan is very familiar with Durant, and of course he knows him very well.

Previously, Durant had also secretly asked him if he wanted to do something, but was sternly rejected by Xu Xuan.

Durant also has backbone, he said that he wanted to join the loser's side, but without saying a word, he joined directly.

Na, this is their biggest opponent this season, if they want to win the championship and get the miracle of last season, the Warriors are the hurdles that Xu Xuan must overcome.

......

Of course, there is no suspense in the game.

The difference in strength between the two teams is huge, and they fell behind by 20 points at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Xu Xuan also went off the court early, but Durant was in high spirits and played a few more minutes on the court.

In the end, 123-107, the first game of this Chinese game, the Lakers lost to the bottom.

Xu Xuan performed well, scoring 30 points in a limited time, not to mention the Warriors, with Durant scoring 32 points, Curry 27 points, and Klay 21 points......

After the game, Xu Xuan also met with David West.

This guy still joined the Warriors, and he still wants to be a champion.

Xu Xuan laughed and scolded him for having no eyesight, he wanted to mix with the championship, isn't he fragrant with the Lakers?

West despised this.

It's also true that he won the championship with Xu Xuan last season, and he doesn't believe that the Lakers can do anything this season, let alone the outside media.
