Chapter 271: The Verge

Dallas native David Fincher has long been a die-hard fan of the Dallas Mavericks and is now undoubtedly a die-hard fan of Chen.

After dinner, David Fincher was already waiting for ESPN in front of the TV in the living room, and before the players entered, three young people of the same age had arrived at David Fincher's house, sitting on the comfortable sofa in David's house, eating snacks and drinking beer.

It's much more interesting to get together with three or five friends than to watch the game alone, and the atmosphere is an intangible thing that only shows up when there are more people.

"How many points do you think Chen can score in this game!" David took a sip of beer and felt like he was watching the game with his friends, and the taste of beer was different from when he watched the game. It's a pity that this high-profile game is not at the home of the Dallas Mavericks, otherwise going to the American Airlines Center to watch it live will definitely be another enjoyment.

A young man with short blond hair said with a smile: "For Chen Zhi, the score is not impossible for Chen Zhi to start at 30+, pass at 40+, be normal at 50+, and be 60+!" ”

"I think Chen Zhi is likely to get a high score, at least 50+, or even a high score that will surprise us." The curly-haired young man, who was the thinnest of the group, thought for a moment, and then said quite confidently.

"The Warriors aren't just a three-point team, they ranked first in the league most of last season in terms of efficiency on both ends of the floor, and only the Spurs were slightly more efficient on the defensive end of the floor this season! In the face of the Warriors' defense, even if it is Chen Dao, I am afraid it is not so easy to score, not to mention that this season, Durant, who is new to the Warriors, has also shown a very strong role on the defensive end. "The other is clearly not so optimistic.

The Dallas Mavericks, who had just finished rebuilding in a sense in the offseason, played against the Golden State Warriors, the league's most dynastic superteam. Even though Chen Zhi has let fans see too many super performances since joining the NBA, it is still difficult for everyone to compare these two teams on an equal footing when thinking about it rationally.

What's more, the Mavericks' lineup is already incomplete, Nuo Tianwang is injured and still can't play, and the backup point guard Deron Williams, who is also injured, didn't even go with the team on the road.

Coupled with back-to-back away games, fitness is undoubtedly an important issue for the Mavericks, especially in the second half.

The strength is inferior, and it is a labor expedition, and it is indeed a challenge to win in this situation.

Everyone is not optimistic that the Mavericks can win, but the Mavericks are obviously not going to give up!

Before the game, I had learned from Coach Carlisle that the young players of the Mavericks who would get a lot of playing time were even more eager to try.

Playing against his old club for the first time in the new season, he walked down the players' tunnel and looked at the familiar Oracle Stadium, with an indifferent smile on his face and an extremely determined look in his eyes.

As Chen Zhi said in the locker room just now, the past is a thing of the past after all, and only the present is the most real! As a member of the Mavericks, there is only one thing everyone has to do now, to knock over all the opponents in front of them, even if the opponent is strong, let it go!

Barnes was the first to walk out of the tunnel with a resolute and calm look, as if ready to withstand the boos.

To his surprise, there was applause at the scene, more and more applause.

Minibus's undercover performance in the finals last season was definitely an important reason why the Warriors missed the position, even if he hit one more empty three-pointer, the whole history would be completely different, and the Warriors players who won the championship with 73 wins, even in the face of Jordan and Pippen, have proud capital! However, now the opponent's 73-win overall runner-up is a fart, which is enough to make the Warriors players feel embarrassed.

Listening to these applause, Barnes felt that from this moment on, he could finally let go of his past in Oakland and support Dallas!

After Barnes, Powell, Finney Smith and Anderson came on one after another.

Seeing the Mavericks' lineup, fans who watched the live broadcast of the game at the media terminal couldn't help but be surprised.

Bogut and Matthews, the two Mavericks starters, did not play, which can only show that the team is resting! No team will put their starting XI on the bench without warning.

It's normal to rest veterans in back-to-back games, but in this way, the Mavericks may not have much chance of winning.

Chen Zhi made the finale as always! He smiled and raised his hand to greet the stands, as if this was not the Oracle Arena, the home of the Warriors, but the American Airlines Center!

This summer, it seems that the whole world is spurning Durant, only the Warriors players and fans have supported a barrier for Durant, probably because of the quarrel with Durant on the Internet before, as soon as Chen Zhi appeared at Oracle Arena, there were a lot of boos, and when he saw Chen Zhi so wanton, the boos rose even higher.

Chen Zhi couldn't help but snort a little embarrassed when he saw this, it seems that compared to Los Angeles, Oakland really doesn't welcome himself!

Yes, one is a rebuilding team that lacks stars, the other is a team that is aiming for a championship, these fans in the Bay Area are not as heartless as Los Angeles fans, and their support for the Warriors is extremely strong.

"How does it feel to be booed by the audience!" Barnes, who has always been a little dull, but feels unusually relaxed at the moment, couldn't help but joke to Chen Zhi.

This is indeed the first time that Chen Zhi has enjoyed this kind of treatment, although the boos of the Jazz team before were even more shocking than this, but it was for DeLong after all.

Chen Zhi glanced at Barnes, and then at the stands of Oracle Stadium, where the boos had gradually sunk, and made a gesture of embracing the sky with an open mind, and said calmly: "Only by enjoying the boos can you become a superstar!" The scene of Jordan being booed has never been less. ”

Barnes pulled the corners of his mouth when he heard this, many times when he got along with Chen, he would doubt the age of this rookie, not the actual age but the psychological age, Barnes has always felt that he has the psychological maturity of forty years old, but he still inevitably has some nostalgia for the audience's boos or not.

But this rookie's attitude in the face of boos, where does it look like a 19-year-old youth, it's just a 91-year-old demon!

Against the Golden State Warriors, Coach Carlisle unexpectedly rested several veterans.

Except for Chen Zhi and Barnes, the other three people are probably absolute marginal players in any team, and it is difficult to say whether they can enter the normal rotation, but in the Mavericks, they can actually have the opportunity to start, which shows how weak the Mavericks' lineup is.

The Warriors' lineup is absolutely star-studded, Curry, Durant, Thompson, Green, all of them are famous.

Even Zaza Pachuria, who has the worst star in the starting lineup, was the starting center of the Mavericks last season. In the last All-Star vote, it was Nowitzki, who had the highest number of votes against the Mavericks.

If Chen hadn't been in this Mavericks, the Mavericks would undoubtedly have been slaughtered in this game, after all, Barnes, the best player on the team, could only be counted as the fourth or even fifth man in the opposing lineup.

Before the game officially began, Chen Zhi glanced at the Warriors' starters on the opposite halfcourt.

On the opposite half, Durant, who is definitely a foreman with a hard hat, opened his mouth and bit the white braces, and was also looking at the half of the Mavericks.

The eyes of the two quickly collided together, Chen Zhi's eyes revealed a rare sharpness, and Durant's eyes when he looked at Chen Zhi were as cold as the eyes of death!

The-for-tat battle is about to break out in the collision of the eyes of the two!
