Chapter 18 Welcome Ceremony

Li Zhi's face softened when he saw Monta Ellis coming.

Without him, Monta Ellis was the first to call to welcome himself to the Warriors.

"George, train with us!" Montaelis made the invitation.

Li Zhi looked at the two groups of people on the field, obviously a bit like two tigers in the mountains, this "Black Eight Warriors" favored by outsiders is not as simple as imagined.

"yes, that's exactly what I mean." Li Zhi smiled and walked to Montaellis's side.

In this form, Li Zhi can only choose a team, and the kind of neutral player who is only willing must also team in this infighting.

"Welcome to the Golden State, George." Stephen Jackson gave Li Zhi a complete set of "worship the dock" ceremony, which was both a hammer chest and a fist fight.

"Hello, George!" Other rookies, Mari Belineri and Matt Barnes, also came over to welcome Rich.

"Hello, take care of it in the future!" Li Zhi is not an ignorant person, people respect me a foot, I respect people.

However, Li Zhi also has a rule: if people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone, and if people offend me, I will pay back a hundred times more.

……

After a while of training, Don Nelson called everyone together.

"Long time no see! The offseason was good, Byron was fat again, and Stephen had a gold tooth? Kill all sides at the Bitrings European Championships! And Ellis, isn't your wife not eating meat this summer, look at your thin little body, it's time to gain weight brother! ”

Don Nelson's words drew a burst of laughter from the players on the field, and the atmosphere was not bad on the surface!

"First of all, we would like to welcome our two new friends! George, I'm sure you all know him, he's going to be with us this year. Everyone is welcome! ”

Montaelis took the lead, with a round of applause.

And Byron Davis and Al Harrington and others are clearly perfunctory.

"Mari Belineri, he's our marksman, use your amazing three-pointer to help the team in the future, boy!"

Mari-Belineri blushed and nodded shyly.

"Alright, now let's play a training match and see if you guys slack off in the summer! Behave well, kids! ”

Next, the internal pairs were divided into two groups.

The red group is led by Byron Davis, with El Harrington, Marie Belinelli, Andris Biedrins and Matt Barnes, Byron Davis point guard, Belinelli scoring guard, Barnes small forward, Harrington power forward, and Bitlins center.

Last season's starters, the red team accounted for three.

The blue group includes Monta Ellis, Stephen Jackson, Richie, Patrick O'Bryant and Michael Petrus.

It's a small lineup, with Monta Ellis playing a cameo point guard, Stephen Jackson shooting guard, small forward Rich, power forward Petrus, and center O'Bryant, who was last season's backup center.

Li Zhi put on the red vest and prepared to play.

Looking at Byron Davis on the other side, who was carelessly changing clothes, Li Zhi's eyes rolled, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

The two teams jumped the ball, and the taller Bitlins dialed it to Byron Davis, who took the ball and slowly dribbled across the halfcourt, looked at the form on the court, and signaled the court to pull away.

He's going to single-handedly Montaelis.

Montaellis's face changed, he didn't expect Byron Davis to be so faceless and put the dirty things of the two on the table.

Byron Davis dribbles under his crotch and makes dazzling moves.

"Little Monta, you're still too tender!"

As soon as the words fell, Byron Davis instantly accelerated to break through to the left, and then pulled back to make a mid-range shot.

"Huh!"

Ball in!

Al Harrington celebrated happily with Byron Davis, and glanced at Monta Aires, who was pale.

"It's okay, the next ball will be back!"

Li Zhi patted Montaellis on the shoulder.

"Hmm!"

Offense and defense are variable, Montaelis controls the ball, and as a scoring guard, he's not very good at playmaking.

The blue team was a little anxious, and Monta Ellis dropped the ball to Stephen Jackson, who was beaten and unexpectedly cut off by Al Harrington.

"Damn it!" Stephen Jackson cursed and quickly chased after Byron Davis, who was holding the ball and breaking fast.

Byron Davis is still very fast, and it is not a slow Stephen Jackson who can catch up.

Layup, two points.

Byron Davis made a smug face at Stephen Jackson, pointing two fingers to his eyes and then to Rich.

That means, it's your turn, kid.

The BLU team attacked, and Montaelis kept running on the outside, leading the defensive Byron Davis to run around the court.

Stephen Jackson saw Matt Barnes, who was chasing Montaelis with Byron Davis, glanced at it, and passed the ball to Richie in the bottom corner.

Li Zhi received the ball and did not shoot, because Bitlins had already pounced on Li Zhi.

Li Zhi took advantage of the situation and passed the ball to O'Bryant, and O'Bryant saw that he was unguarded, and directly dunked.

The BLU team cheered and finally scored.

After the goal, the blue team and others looked at Li Zhi, and they were surprised that Li Zhi actually passed the ball well.

Li Zhi smiled and waved his hand, "Accident, accident!" ”

The other four didn't believe it at all, and even O'Bryant looked at Li Zhi with little stars in his eyes, expecting Li Zhi to pass him a few more of those balls.

O'Bryant came off the bench last season and played in just 24 games, averaging less than five minutes per game, scoring just 1.5 points, 0.2 assists and two rebounds.

Next, the red team that was slapped in the face launched an attack, saw the weakness of the blue team's weak internal line, and broke through again and again.

Byron Davis breaks through and scores.

Matt Barnes breaks through and Petrus fouls.

Hal Harrington was beaten, two points.

Belinelli makes a three-pointer and the ball goes in.

……

In the next few minutes, the red team was still caught off guard by the blue team due to lack of strength.

At halftime, it was 30-42 and the blue team trailed by 12 points.

Li Zhi sat on the sidelines gasping for breath, saying that this NBA-intensity game is a lot of consumption.

"Ellis, I think we should play differently!" Richie said to Monta Ellis.

"A different way of playing? What do you mean? Montaelis was puzzled, but he didn't mind hearing Rich's thoughts.

"Our lineup is obviously weak inside, but we shoot accurately, we are faster than them, we should play fast, defend and counterattack, and make consecutive threes!"

Li Zhi said with some excitement, this is a classic NBA style of play in later generations, and it may be carried forward in his own hands.

Thinking about what would happen to Cole if he stole Cole's tactics, Li Zhi unconsciously felt a sense of excitement.

Montaelis and the others suddenly realized.

With their own strengths, attack the shortcomings of others.
