Chapter 138: Fanatical Oracle
On October 30, 2008, the Golden State Warriors hosted the New Orleans Hornets.
With two preseason wins over the Hornets, the Warriors are all about to win this game.
Nelson clapped his hands, gathered the players together and said, "Kids, the game is about to start, let's talk about today's game." ”
"Our starting point guard for this game is Kyle, scoring guard Stephen, small forward Lee, power forward Barnes, and center Shaq. Our main game in this game is blocking and rebounding, and the Hornets are fast, don't let them lead the rhythm. ”
Everyone nodded, especially Kyle Lowry, whose last words were more like addressed to him. Li Zhi smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and the little steel cannon felt even more that he had a great responsibility.
However, the little steel cannon randomly pulled down his face, because this game against him was Chris Paul, a strong contender for last season's MVP, in the point guard position, Paul has been "deified" by some experts.
When Xiao Gangcang was thinking about how to deal with Paul, the European golden retriever Milicic was unhappy, and he couldn't help but go crazy: What about the starters? What about the starters? This old man is as bad as Larry Brown!
The opening game of the new season, and the honor of being one of the six teams in the opener, Golden State's die-hard fans are crazy, so this game is a full house, and countless die-hard fans want to see what the Warriors can bring to the summer.
The sound of DJ tearing raged over the stadium, the home field was good, Li Zhi sighed in the players' tunnel, he and the others had not yet played, and the fans were already cheering.
Needless to say, the Warriors' players are all bright-eyed and have a fighting spirit in their eyes.
"It's over, I'm a little nervous, boss, the fans in Washington aren't so enthusiastic!" Nick Young excitedly pinched Li Zhi's shoulder, and was traded to the Warriors in the offseason, and Nick Young couldn't stand it happily. Because his idol "Forcing King" Li Zhi is here, Nick Young has trained a lot this offseason, and the progress in the new season is also great.
Li Zhi can see that Nick Yang does not really regard himself as the boss, but has a feeling of being a familiar friend, but under Li Zhi's example, Nick Young's defense is still better than in his previous life.
Nick Young is the attacking point of the second team along with Crawford and Corey Maggeti, and as the main substitute for Rich, playing time is guaranteed. In the preseason, Nick Young's singles are also one of the brighter things for the Warriors.
Li Zhi patted him on the shoulder, turned his head to look at Milicic, the golden retriever was obviously a little overexcited, his face flushed, and he couldn't wait to get on the stage, obviously, the young man had not encountered such an avid fan in the previous team.
"Just watch what you see? Haven't you ever seen a handsome guy? Milicic Sunshine skimmed Li Zhi was looking at him, and said with a cold face, Li Zhi suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, rolled his eyes and ignored this "autism".
Li Zhi didn't care about Milicic's narcissism, but O'Neill didn't let go of Brother Golden Retriever, and generally pinched his big hand on Milicic's list, making Brother Golden Retriever shiver all over.
Looking at Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson with vicious eyes on the side, Milicic suddenly felt that the Warriors were not so good, what kind of people are these!
O'Neal, a shark who can take out Barkley with his fists.
Barnes, Li Zhi's perverted fanatic, who is not good for Li Zhi stood up and waved his fist as soon as possible.
Jackson, the Auburn Hills palace incident, was there at the scene at the time!
Milicic prayed to God in his heart to make sure he could survive in the warriors. I'm a very gentlemanly person, and I must not be spoiled by these guys.
Little Jordan was beside O'Neal, watching Milicic eat and laughing very proudly. It's this guy who often bullies himself for not being able to shoot in training games, and he loses face every time.
On the contrary, little Jordan likes the little steel cannon Lowry and the old shark O'Neal around him very much, because of the small steel cannon iron, he can grab a few more rebounds every time, O'Neal makes bad free throws, and he can grab rebounds if he can't make free throws.
Although Milicic was stared at by O'Neal, Barnes, and Jackson, he still snorted coldly when he saw that little Jordan, who was often beaten by himself, dared to laugh at himself.
Although it is considered to be a parallel import by the outside world, after all, it entered the NBA under the name of "03 Platinum Generation Leader", and the starting point is much higher than others.
In the preseason, Milicic only had 7 assists, and after 8 games, the average was less than 1, which was less than Yang Shaoxia, after all, Nick Young also sent a few assists to Li Zhi every game.
Li Zhi does not expect Milicic to change immediately, only hopes that as the season progresses, Milicic can integrate into the Warriors, and Nelson did not start Milicic in this game, not without the reason why Milicic did not pass.
The Warriors players appeared one by one, Kyle Lowry looked at the fanatical fans cheering for him in Oakland, and looked at Li Zhi in the center of the crowd, and unconsciously clenched his fists.
"Boss. I'm going to be like you! This boss Lowry called convincing, the NBA is a place that pays attention to strength, and Li Zhi has enough strength to be his boss.
And, Memphis! Wait for me!
Soon, the game began, and the Hornets started with Chris Paul, Rasso Butler, Pejastojakovic, Dawei West, Tyson Chandler.
In the first game of the season, there was naturally a broadcast in China, and as Li Zhi's fame in the basketball field grew, there was more and more attention from China.
At this time, CCTV5 Sports Channel was broadcasting the game live.
"I just finished the Olympics, and I met Li Zhi so soon. Today, Coach Zhang and I will explain the opening game of Li Zhi's new season. Host Yu Jia said with a smile.
Zhang Li said: "I still can't forget Li Zhi's performance in the Olympics, it's amazing, last season the Warriors can be called turbulent, this season Li Zhi has become the absolute core of the Warriors, I look forward to Li Zhi's performance." ”
Not only Zhang Li, but tens of millions of fans in front of domestic TV sets are also full of expectations for Li Zhi and his Warriors.
In the analysis of the two presenters, the game has begun.
Neal Sr., the old shark, rejuvenated himself and jumped to the ball above the head of young man Tyson Chandler, and the Warriors took the lead in attacking.
Li Zhi will face Pejastojakovic, the legendary 2.06-meter-tall veteran of the 1996 Golden Generation.
As for his memory, most fans focus on the gorgeous Kings team before 2006. In his short six months with the Pacers, the story of the No. 3 scorer after Paul and West in the Hornets is often automatically ignored.
In fact, when he joined the Mavericks last season, it was like an empty court, and a three-pointer passed through the net, but it only caused a "brush" and no applause.
Because, the former kings, along with the spectators who once watched them, are gone. Divac, Weber, Christie, White Chocolate, and him and Bibby.
