Chapter 256: Defending Champion Golden State Warriors

Last year's Warriors swept the playoffs with their crazy shooting touch in the late season, shooting a crazy 64% team-wide shooting percentage in the Finals, becoming the 2010-11 season after the Dallas Mavericks, another champion who shot to death without relying on rebounding, they defeated the defending Cleveland Cavaliers 4-2 in the Finals, and Kevin Durant, who played at his peak in the Finals, averaged 32 points per game. Won the MVP of the finals!

After winning the championship, the team naturally renewed the contract with Stephen Curry, but the bench lineup was further weakened, and only Andre Iguodala and Shaun Livingston were left on the bench. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Despite this, relying on strong offensive firepower, the Warriors still have the third place in the league and occupy the first place in the West with 8 wins and 2 losses!

The Celtics are looking to defend their home turf and are currently on a four-game winning streak at home, and the players don't want to end their winning streak so soon.

At the pre-game press conference, Warriors coach Steve Kerr praised the Boston Celtics, calling Boston a strong candidate for the Eastern Conference championship with Cleveland this year, Kerr said that he was more optimistic about Boston's future, and he did not hesitate to praise Ye Hai, who played an amazing performance in his rookie season, and said that Ye Hai is the small forward with the most scoring potential he has seen after Durant!

Kerr said that Horford's joining last season and Paul's arrival this season gave Boston a championship background, and Yahai represents the future of Boston, and Boston is definitely capable of winning the championship under the leadership of Young Marshal Stevens!

For Kerr's praise of the team and himself, Celtics coach Stevens also gave the other party a very high evaluation, saying that Kerr has brought the Warriors to a new height, and has entered the Finals three times in the past three years, won two championships, and has become the new banner of the league, Boston will take the Warriors as an example and strive for better results!

Both played the friendship card before the game, but the players on both sides were ready for a good match!

The starting lineup for this game of the Golden State Warriors is:

Center: Zhazapachuria, 2.11m;

Power forward: Draymond Green, 2.01m;

Small forward: Durant, 2.06m;

Shooting guard: Klay Thompson, 2.01m;

Organizational Guard: Stephen Curry, 1.91m.

At the beginning of the game, the two sides were not as friendly as the atmosphere created by the coach before the game, and at the beginning of the Mars collision with the earth-style confrontation, Durant faced Ye Hai's defense and hit consecutive dry jump shots, allowing Ye Hai to see Durant's strong scoring ability.

In the face of Durant's strong firepower as soon as he came up, Ye Hai was indeed a little caught off guard at the beginning, but when Durant used the same dry pull-up jumper to score in a row, Ye Hai mastered the opponent's shooting rhythm from the opponent's shooting method.

When Durant held the ball and used the inertia before the jump shot again, his legs were slightly bent, and the ball was lifted up from the bottom with both hands, Ye Hai immediately blocked according to the rhythm of the opponent's first two shots, but this shot was Durant's feint.

After shaking Ye Hai away, Durant immediately took three steps with the ball, relying on his thin figure to lean on Amir Johnson and throw the ball into the basket!

In the opening game, Durant shot 3 of 3, and one person hit 6-0, but Ye Hai's first dry pull-out jump shot was covered by Durant's frontal sturdiness!

"This guy is definitely more than 2.06 meters, and in my opinion, 2.11 is more than that." After being blocked by Durant on the front, Ye Hai looked at the other party's slender figure and doubted Durant's official height.

Paul was beaten 6-0 by the opponent at the beginning of the team, decisively handed the ball to the inside, Horford singled Pachulia like chopping vegetables, although Pachulia was known for being strong under the basket when he was young, but as he grew older, the ability to fight under the basket was far less than before, and there was no good way for a center like Horford who had shots and feet.

Horford resisted a few times to the basket, ignored Gree, who was about to come over to help defend, and scored the first 2 points for Boston with a two-handed dunk!

6-2!

But Boston's home fans weren't happy for long for this dunk, Durant received Curry's pass, faced Ye Hai's defense, and shot directly from a position one step away from the three-point line. The opponent stood so far away, Ye Hai didn't expect the opponent to shoot directly, and watched the ball fly high from Durant's hand, cross a perfect arc in the air, and hit it hollow!

9-2! Durant hit a long-range three-pointer, and he was already 4 of 4 in the opening game!

When Durant raised his hand and ran back, it was Ye Hai's cold back!

"Don't treat rookies as bad cadres!" Durant's fiery hand also inspired Ye Hai's fighting spirit.

In the next round, Paul saw the flame burning in Ye Hai's eyes, and said to himself, "This kid! He passed Blanton Rush's return pass to Ye Hai, who was standing on the flank.

Before this game, Durant had never particularly known the Chinese except for seeing Ye Hai once when he was shooting an advertisement. In Durant's impression, even a player like Yao Ming, who represents the top level of Asia, is still a notch lower than himself, let alone a Chinese who mainly plays on the wing and emphasizes explosiveness in this position!

Every star will feel more or less contemptuous of their opponents when facing players they don't know, and players like Durant are no exception, especially after winning the championship and Finals MVP last year, Durant who has removed this heart disease is even more arrogant.

Facing Ye Hai standing in front of him, coupled with his fiery shooting feel in this game, Durant intends to stop all the news about the Chinese touted in front of him!

"Let me give you some color and see!" After just blocking Ye Hai head-on, Durant mistakenly thought that Ye Hai's level was nothing more than that, and put on a defensive posture, ready to block Ye Hai's offense again.

Ye Hai received Paul's pass, lowered his center of gravity with the ball in both hands, exhaled lightly, his eyes seemed to be shining, and his body suddenly started!

Durant was staring at Ye Hai in front of him one second, and the next second he actually found that the Chinese player in front of him had disappeared out of thin air!

Ye Hai only took one step to throw Durant in place and rush straight to the basket!

Draymond Green, who was on the inside to make up for the defense, reacted quickly and immediately came over to make up for the defense!

Ye Hai has taken three steps at this moment, rushing straight to the direction of Green and the basket, and Green, known as the "Iron Man", is not afraid, and jumps up after buffering one step, ready to fight Ye Hai in the air!

Facing Ye Hai, who is as tall as himself, Green is very confident that he can completely envelop the Chinese player's offense in his own defense, but when he jumps in the air, Green realizes that he has made a big mistake!

When Green jumped to three-quarters of his height, he found that Ye Hai's bullet speed was actually much faster than his own, and his head was only on the opponent's chest!

Then I heard a clear sound of the basketball colliding with the basket behind my head, and Green, who was hit by Ye Hai's strong dunk and lost his body balance in the air, fell heavily to the floor!

"Didi~~" The referee's whistle sounded at the same time, and Green was awarded a defensive foul!

Ye Hai hung under the basket with one hand, looking down at Green who was sitting on the ground. Green, who was knocked to the ground, held his neck with one hand, as if he had twisted it when he had just fallen. Behind Ye Hai was Durant's surprised expression.

"Hey!" Paul held his braces in his mouth, showed his trademark smile, and thought, "Warriors, you guys are too underestimating Ye Hai, you must be the ones who suffer!" (To be continued.) )
