Chapter 1, the fusion of Fat Tiger and Harden?
January 2, 2018.
Golden State, Oracle Center Arena.
The game in progress at this time was the Boston Celtics taking on the Golden State Warriors on the road.
Wild Warriors fans are chanting Stephen Curry's name over and over again.
Curry's back-to-back three-pointers completely ignited the atmosphere of the scene, and the entire arena seemed to be overturned by this noisy scream.
There is no doubt that the current home team, the Golden State Warriors, is the top team in the league.
In the 2015-16 season, the Warriors had a 73-9 record, and although they missed out on the championship, they also created an immortal regular season miracle.
In the 2016-17 season, they recruited Durant, perfected the last shortcoming of the lineup, and successfully snatched the championship back.
Now in the 2017-18 season, their goal is still to defend their title and build a true Warriors dynasty.
Prior to this game, the Warriors had a 30-8 record and were in second place in the West.
The Warriors have a luxurious lineup, but the visiting Celtics aren't bad either.
The Celtics have Kyrie Irving, a two-star duo with unlimited potential, Brown and Tatum, and veteran Al Horford.
Tonight's game also went to 6 minutes and 12 seconds in the third quarter.
The score was 72-72.
The score looks like the two teams are on the same level, but Celtic head coach Stevens knows how dangerous the situation can be.
The Celtics had a 16-point lead at the end of the first half.
Halfway through the third quarter, they were chased by the Warriors for 16 points.
The Warriors' games this season are all daily water release in the first half, and the rhythm of the score is directly overtaken in the third quarter.
This is also the "Yong Three Crazy" that the outside world is used to!
In this case, the Warriors will win.
But it was too hard to withstand the Warriors' third quarter.
The Celtics were in much more trouble than that, as power forward Marcus Morris stepped on Green's foot during a breakaway layup and kicked his foot down, and he was helped back to the locker room as soon as he came down.
In this case, it is almost certain that we can't play tonight.
Marcus Morris is still very intriguing for the Celtics, he can help the team open up space, and his height can also protect the rim to a certain extent.
After Marcus Morris was off the court, Stevens glanced at the bench to find a power forward.
It's just that the Celtics' lineup is heavy on the outside, and there are few reserves on the inside.
Baines? If he plays, he can only let Horford play power forward.
It's just that Baines doesn't have much offensive ability and average defensive ability, and Stevens doesn't really want him to play.
Now the team needs an interior threat, and it needs someone to attract the opponent's interior to help defend and make Irving or Tatum less offensive pressure.
......
......
On the bench at this time.
Zhao Yong looked at the surrounding situation curiously.
Zhao Yong crossed over before the start of this game.
After this period of familiarity and understanding, Zhao Yong gradually accepted the memory of his current body.
Zhao Yong is Chinese, 2.01 meters tall, weighs 129 kilograms, and is a power forward, he played in the NCAA for a while, performed well, averaged 7 points and 7 rebounds per game, and then was selected by the Celtics with the No. 56 pick in this year's draft, and after entering the Celtics, he became a fringe player.
Zhao Yong's characteristics are that he has the height of a defender, the style of play of a striker, and the weight of a center.
At 129 kilograms, he looks strong, and this kind of body also ensures that even if he is a yellow race, he looks like he has the ability to adapt to the NBA.
Zhao Yong has a good mid-range hand and the ability to open up space, which is one of the reasons why he was signed to a non-guaranteed contract by the Celtics as a second-round pick.
Don't underestimate the fact that it's just an unguaranteed contract, such a contract is also wanted by a bunch of people.
Judging from Zhao Yong's current situation, his ceiling is to become a rotation player, and it is difficult to become a star.
While Zhao Yong was thinking.
"Bell!"
"The binding of the [Superstar Fusion System] has been successful."
"This system can integrate the talent, experience, and technology of superstars, so that the host will continue to become stronger!"
"Based on the host's body template, select two stars to fuse their initial physical talents with technical abilities."
"Star A: Zion Williamson (rookie), star B: James Harden (rookie)!"
"Convergence begins to ....."
"The fusion has been successful, the talent and skill of the star have been received, please start your NBA career!"
"The system panel has been activated, please view it on your own."
"If the first fusion is successful, give away the [Peak Fusion Effect] once!"
"[Peak Fusion Effect]: Give full play to the peak strength of the superstar fused by the host in all aspects!"
....
Coming with a plug-in?
Zhao Yong, who originally just wanted to get along with the difficulty, instantly had anticipation in his eyes.
In his previous life, Zhao Yong liked to play basketball very much, but his talent was a little lacking, and it was difficult to play professionally.
Although Zhao Yong in this world can play in the NBA, it is difficult to stay here and may be eliminated at any time.
Talent has become his biggest obstacle, and the emergence of the system has made the obstacle of talent disappear in an instant.
Zion Williamson, James Harden.
A talented shooting star, a technical shooting star.
Although they are all rookie versions, they are enough.
For the two stars selected by the system, Zhao Yong probably knows the logic.
He is indeed very similar to these two stars, he looks a little fat and has a big butt, and the fusion fits his own characteristics.
The system can't let him fuse Curry or Brother Alphabet, that would look too weird.
In the NBA, talent has always been the foundation of the foundation, and it is difficult to become a superstar without top talent.
Talent is not only about the body, but also about the feel and consciousness.
Compared with Jordan, James and others, Zion Williamson and Harden's fusion talent technology is not the most awesome.
But in this alliance that focuses on the outside line and light on the inside line, this kind of fusion talent is definitely at the level of a hegemon.
Zhao Yong remembers his previous life, the peak Harden's step-back single skills were extremely coquettish, dribbling under the crotch with one hand, and one-on-one heads-up were desperate, of course, Harden during the Nets period was already in a period of decline in injury and could not be counted.
And Zion Williamson's bouncing and weight make him only 2.01 meters tall, but he can swim well on the inside.
Zion Williamson's bounce, explosiveness, power, and interior skills are top-notch.
As long as Zion is healthy, his interior strength is definitely strong enough!
Zhao Yong wasn't so strong before, but after fusing these two, his confidence came instantly.
It's definitely okay to mix the NBA.
He wants to make a lot of money with a big contract in the future and soak a big Yanmar!
...............
"Zhao, you go!"
After hesitating, Stevens decided to use the newcomer, let Zhao Yong of the meat shield go up to the top, and then have the opportunity to use the middle distance he is good at to score points.
Stevens's words instantly sobered up Zhao Yong, who was immersed in the system.
Zhao Yong instinctively stood up and looked at Stevens and nodded.
Stevens began coaching Butler University in 2007 and led the team to the NCAA Finals in 2010 and 2011, and began coaching the Boston Celtics in 2013.
In 2017, Stevens became the head coach of the NBA's All-Yin Star East and led the Celtics to the 2016-17 regular season to win the first place in the East.
Stevens' coaching ability tends to be egalitarian, that is, anyone can get a chance in his hands, and he will not stand out as a superstar!
This is the reason why Zhao Yong has a chance, but it is also the reason why Owen is not happy with him.
Irving felt he wasn't the boss with the Celtics and that the coach wasn't enough to give him the ball.
Egalitarianism is good for a fringe player like Zhao Yong, and if the ball and time are given to the superstar, there is nothing to do with him.
No matter how strong you are, it's useless for the manager not to let you play.
In that regard, Stevens is indeed a very bold manager!
Zhao Yong took a deep breath, as long as he was given a chance, he would seize it.
