Chapter 9: Warriors vs. Suns

The start time of NBA games usually starts around 7 p.m. U.S. time, and after receiving the order from Coach Kerr yesterday to come to practice early, all the players of the entire Warriors team have arrived at about 2 p.m. to start preparing for the evening game.

Due to the official competition in the evening, the intensity of all afternoon training is not large, everyone generally practices shooting, looking for the feel, plus Sun Dahei's communication difficulties, throughout the afternoon, Sun Dahei just silently practiced the basic skills on the training ground.

The shortcomings in shooting percentage are not a problem that Sun Dahei needs to solve urgently, and in the Warriors, a team with a talented shooting talent, a center who can't shoot is harmless.

"Gentry, how do you feel about this kid?" Kerr looked at Da Hei's slightly clumsy dribble on the training court and asked the assistant head coach next to him with a smile.

The coach of the NBA is not just a head coach, but a whole team, and the man named Gentry next to Kerr is the assistant head coach of the Warriors.

"Seriously, if you hadn't shown me his physical data, with this kid's dribbling posture, no team would have taken such a big risk to take him in!" Gentry had apparently also seen Da Hei's physical measurements.

"Risk?!No, Gentry, you're wrong this time, I feel like this kid is going to give us unimaginable benefits!" Cole shook his head and continued, "Of course, no matter what, we'll be able to try out this little guy's true form tonight, right, Gentry." ”

November 14, 2016 at around 6 p.m. U.S. time.

The Golden State Warriors host the oncoming Phoenix Suns.

This season's Suns have been completely reduced to a fish belly team, and unless a miracle happens again, this Suns team has no chance of making the playoffs at all!

Thinking back to the time when the Suns were under the leadership of Nash, the 7-second offensive running and bombing storm was as dazzling as the scorching sun, and the team's little bully Stoudemire, alien hacker Marion, Brazilian lightning Barbossa, throat master Rajabel, and French magician Dior attracted countless fans to the American Airlines Center Arena!

It's a pity that most of these talented players have retired, and the current Suns have long lost their glamorous style.

In today's game, one is a league powerhouse, a championship contender, and the other is a fish belly team, the result of the game can be imagined, so the Warriors are more relaxed, and when they enter the court, the players talk and laugh among themselves, but Sun Dahei is more embarrassed...... Because he didn't know anyone well, and he didn't speak English, he had to bury his head behind everyone.

Sun Dahei's unfamiliar Asian face attracted the interest of the fans present.

"Look, that big guy in the Warriors' No. 88 jersey, oh my gosh, could it be the Warriors' newly introduced interior line?!"

"This guy looks really strong, I hope he can play a role, the inside line of the Warriors is really weak this year!"

The fans off the pitch were buzzing and full of interest in the new big man.

As the favorites to win the championship, the Warriors are broadcasting the game live across the United States today, with Barkley and O'Neal as the live commentators for the game.

As a temporary worker with a 10-day short contract, Sun Dahei is obviously difficult to attract the attention of these two interior seniors, temporary workers like Sun Dahei, there are too many in the NBA, but in the end, almost more than 90% of them did not get the opportunity to renew, so they had no choice but to leave the NBA and find another way.

As the referee's whistle blows, the two-shot starters come on.

Golden State Warriors: C Zaza, PF Egg Chase Green, SF Durant, SG Tang Shen, PG Curry

Phoenix Suns: C Alex Lynn, PF Magis Chriss, SFTJ Warren, SG Devin Booker, PG Bledsoe

Due to the death of the Suns' starting center champion Chandler's mother before this game, he was absent from this game, and the backup center Alex Lynn started the game!

Speaking of Alex Lynn, he is also a rookie in the NBA, only 23 years old, but his performance this season is very good, averaging 21 minutes of playing time per game, but he can cut 9 points and 8 boards.

The two sides jumped the ball, Lynn won Zaza unexpectedly, Devin Booker received the ball, rushed to the front court with the ball, did not wait for the Warriors defenders to be in place, a flying three-pointer, and hit it steadily!

Booker, a young player who is only 20 years old, has now become the signature star of the Suns with his daring style, averaging 19.2 points per game, which is definitely among the best among rookies in the same class.

If it is not as good as China, Booker is a little too young, inexperienced on the court, and many shots are extremely hasty, so the shooting rate is low, with only 41% of 2-point shooting and 28 three-point shooting.

was shot by the opponent for a three-pointer, the Warriors cheered up, as a super team like them, the most afraid is to overturn in the gutter, if you lose to a team of the same level, it is understandable, but you can lose to the Suns This kind of fish belly, and it is still on their home court, it is simply sorry for the fans who bought tickets to enter the game.

The two teams of the Warriors and the Suns are offensive teams in their bones, although the Suns have now declined, but the spirit of the team has not changed.

The Warriors kicked off, the ball was passed to Durant after reaching the front court, and in the face of the defense of TJ Warren, who was only 203 cm tall, Durant directly pulled out and hit a long-range two-pointer!

Although Durant's official data is only 206 cm, his real height is definitely more than 213 cm, and his arm span is extremely good.

By the 8-minute mark of the first quarter, the scores of the two sides had already broken 20, and the Warriors only led by one point at 23:22.

Especially Zaza on the inside, he was grabbed 5 rebounds by the opposing center in 8 minutes on the head!

But Kerr really can't blame Zaza, Zaza is now 33 years old, as a white center, the combat power under the basket has been greatly degraded at this age, and with an annual salary of only 2.9 million, which is about one-tenth of Durant's salary, it is obviously impossible to expect him to suppress the opponent's interior line.

In 8 minutes, Zaza handed over a two-shot zero shot, 0 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 turnover and 1 foul data! In stark contrast is the opposing young center Lynn.

Lynn has 7 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block, which is only 8 minutes.
