Chapter 330: Easy start
The Warriors gave the bench plenty of opportunities to perform, and their system worked well in the preseason to take out the Raptors with ease.
However, the final moments were all bench battles in the preseason, and the Warriors only had a record of three wins and four losses.
Zhang Xiaotian's score has been hovering around 10 points, and many people can't wait to start blacking, but in the last game, he played 25 minutes and scored 25 points, which made many people shut up.
It's not that he fought hard in the end, thanks to the Lakers for not defending, allowing him to hit a few more three-pointers.
To be honest, after adapting to the rhythm of some teams, I feel that the game is much easier, and on the other hand, it is also very depressing when the team plays iron.
Because of the fast transition between attack and defense, the ball is not shot at the most certain point very quickly, and there is a feeling that I can't use my strength.
"How does it feel, there are fans in the group who say that the team won't let you play alone."
"It's nothing, it's just a preseason, it's still good here, there are a lot of Chinese fans."
After Zhang Xiaotian returned from training, he watched the video with his wife as usual.
Although it is a short-term contract, it is also a big contract, so this time Zhang Xiaotian did not rent a house, but bought a house, even if he does not live here in the future, it can be regarded as an investment.
After the preseason, Zhang Xiaotian accepted an exclusive interview with Xu Yi as usual.
With this, Xu Yi can do a good show, and Zhang Xiaotian can also take the opportunity to promote more fans and win-win things.
"Fans all over the world should know what I'm worth, so there's really nothing to say about pre-season."
"They were aiming for the championship, so they found me."
"Why didn't I sign a long-term contract, maybe I didn't win enough championships, I'll continue to work hard."
"It's harder in the west? Without that, my first championship was in the West, and the team is actually not far from the championship, about one player like me. ”
Zhang Xiaotian's interviews are always bold, and now he also has this qualification, a three-time championship, you can black him and hug his thighs, but every time he has a key performance.
Besides, as his salary gets higher and higher, and his tactical position becomes more and more critical, it's hard to say who the thighs are.
Next time, he should be completely settled.
Even if his favorite team doesn't have the will to work with him, it's time to do it.
However, this season, he will not think much about it except to continue to win championships.
On October 27, the first game of the Warriors' regular season was played at the Oakland Arena against the Pelicans.
The Pelicans haven't changed much this summer, they made the playoffs last season, and this summer they have mostly maintained their roster, but they have been uneven at the start of the season due to injuries.
The main change on the Warriors' side is Zhang Xiaotian, and after the No. 3 position is replaced by Zhang Xiaotian, the team can be said to have no shortcomings.
Since Jrue Holiday and Tyrek Evans were unable to play, Curry started straight to the point.
can't stop it at all, 24 points in the first quarter, and others feel that they just need to shout 666 next to them.
Unlike James, Curry is not as well-rounded, but his explosive ability is undoubtedly more terrifying.
Zhang Xiaotian followed next and easily shot two open three-pointers.
In fact, the Pelicans' offense is also good, they started with three guards, and soon went to a small lineup like the Warriors to attack and attack, and backup guard Ismael Smith came up and hit hundreds of shots.
Curry's defense can't be said to be bad, but his physical fitness is not so exaggerated, and he won't care too much about defense after the offense is smooth, so he will explode with people many times.
It's a bit similar to Owen but it's different, and it's also a type of offense and defense.
The best thing the Warriors did was limit Anthony Davis, and Draymond Green was really good on the defensive end, and although he also paid the price for three fouls in the first half, it would be able to contain Davis, and any team that played against the Pelicans would be willing to do so.
The Warriors' system, Zhang Xiaotian honestly has no room to play for the time being, but his shooting is obviously more stable than Barnes.
This made Barnes have a sense of crisis, and after he changed it, he hit a few in a row, just to prove that he was no worse than Zhang Xiaotian, but unfortunately he was too anxious to strike iron.
To be honest, Barnes' talent is very good, but his heart is not big enough, and the Warriors are also a little sorry, the Splash Brothers and Green are growing too fast, and Barnes can't keep up, otherwise the team will be willing to cultivate him.
In fact, the Pelicans don't have a good No. 3 position, Zhang Xiaotian has a chance to show his might, but the warrior's attack power is too strong, and it is not his turn to be powerful.
In the third quarter, Curry went berserk again, directly turning the fourth quarter into garbage time.
Zhang Xiaotian only played 30 minutes in his debut with the Warriors, scoring 13 points, compared to Curry, who casually scored 40 points, everyone else is a floating cloud.
After the game, Zhang Xiaotian had a bad feeling, maybe his statistics will drop this season.
However, the team promised that it would arrange some tactics for him, such as when the team was more entangled, so he thought that the team would play well or not.
The run-in problem, this game did not appear, and now he is playing the pitcher.
In the Warriors' system, when the Splash Brothers are in good shape, it's too easy for other players to fit in.
Zhang Xiaotian is now good in the middle distance and three-point shooting, and he feels a little bit of a strengthened version of Barnes.
However, the outside world still questions whether the money spent by the Warriors in the summer is worth it, which is normal, this circle is always accompanied by all kinds of doubts, and if the mental quality is not strong enough, it will not be able to stand at the top.
At least the Cavaliers who were killed by the Bulls were blamed more than the Warriors who won their first victory.
Compared with the unorganized Pelicans, the Warriors' opponent in the second game, the Rockets, is a team that can be tested.
The Rockets' summer trade for Ty Lawson was also a controversial move, but they are clearly looking forward to going further this season.
The Rockets started the game feeling fine from the inside, but then they fell into a scoring drought.
Curry on the Warriors' side is still very accurate, and several other points, including Zhang Xiaotian, are playing normally, while the Rockets are constantly playing iron, if it weren't for the good performance of the bench players, the first half of the game would have been spent.
Even off the bench, the Rockets trailed by double digits in the first half.
At the beginning of the season, most teams need to integrate, and the main framework of the Warriors has not changed, but has to prevail.
In the third quarter, most of the lead was again, but this time the Warriors gave Zhang Xiaotian a chance to perform in the fourth quarter.
It's just that the team has too much lead, and the opponent has no intention of defending, Zhang Xiaotian helped the team extend the lead to 20 points in three minutes.
The test also became meaningless, and head coach Kerr replaced him again.
He scored 16 points in this game, but the fans still didn't see anything more.
