Zhou Yang and Curry also have a lot of respect for Nash, and in a sense, Nash is the biggest promoter of the small-ball era.

Before Nash, guards were thought to be strong and passing.

But Nash has taken the art of passing to a new level.

At the same time, completing an offense in 7 seconds has also made the Suns a team with a distinctive style of play and attracted countless fans.

Although he didn't win the championship, this style of play will definitely leave a deep impression in the hearts of fans.

……

The regular season has come to an end, and the intense and exciting playoffs are about to begin!

The playoff teams in the East are: Cavaliers, Magic, Hawks, Celtics, Heat, Bucks, Hornets, Bulls.

The playoff teams in the West are: Lakers, Mavericks, Suns, Nuggets, Warriors, Nuggets, Spurs, Thunder.

In that case, the Warriors fall into the bottom half, and the first opponent is the Nuggets.

In the regular season, the record of the two teams is 2:2, so the fans' prediction for this game feels that it is five to five.

Although the Splash Brothers' style of play is very eye-catching and unique in the league, the overall strength of the whole team is indeed poor.

Three days later, the 2009-2010 playoffs began!

At the pre-game press conference, Zhou Yang and Curry were interviewed by the media.

Because it was the first time to play in the playoffs, the two were a little excited.

A white reporter asked, "Mr. Zhou Yang, the Warriors haven't been in the playoffs for several years, how do you feel about making the playoffs in your first season with Curry?" ”

Zhou Yang nodded and replied: "I'm very excited, I'm impatient, the playoffs will definitely be exciting!" ”

Seeing that Zhou Yang was very excited, the reporters all laughed.

"Zhou Yang, who is the best three-point score between you and Curry?" A female reporter asked curiously.

Zhou Yang didn't like this kind of question very much, but he still replied politely and humorously: "No matter who is good, it doesn't matter, as long as you are better than your opponent!" ”

The reporter laughed again and gave Zhou Yang a thumbs up.

"Stephen, what are you looking forward to in your first trip to the playoffs?"

At this time, Curry, who was not very good at words, smiled and replied: "Of course, the expectation is to enter the second round of the playoffs, but I won't think about it that much, just play every game." ”

The reporters had a good impression of the Splash Brothers, because both of them were very quality and not as arrogant as the other players.

The female reporter asked again: "I like the title of Splash Brother very much, I hope you can become permanent partners, will you separate?" ”

Zhou Yang and Curry glanced at each other and smiled.

"Definitely not, unless management sells one of us, we will never offer a deal!" Zhou Yang replied seriously.

At the same time, Zhou Yang and Curry also reached out and slapped their palms.

The reporters at the scene, like many Warriors fans, hoped they could be together at the end of their careers.

Become a legend of the Warriors!

……

The press conference on the Nuggets' side has a different style of painting.

Anthony and Billups were interviewed.

"Carmelo, you averaged 28 points per game this season, and Zhou Yang averaged 29 points per game, who do you think has the stronger scoring ability between you and Zhou Yang?"

This reporter is just stirring up trouble, if he is replaced by Zhou Yang, he will not answer.

But Anthony didn't care and blurted out: "Of course I'm strong, in today's game, you will see how we beat them!" ”

"Then can you predict how many points you and Zhou Yang can get?"

Anthony thought for a while and replied, "I will definitely get 30+, as for Zhou Yang...... 20 points maximum! ”

The reporters laughed.

Billups seemed to disagree with Anthony, and he bowed his head and remained silent.

Another reporter asked, "Chauncey, do you have any thoughts on Curry's style of play?" ”

Billups has won championships on the live team and won FMVP, so his understanding of players is different from others.

He said in a low-key manner: "Curry's three-point is very strong, especially the three-point point with the ball, he and Zhou Yang are very special, and I am optimistic about their future." ”

Anthony seemed unhappy with Billups' praise and grabbed the conversation and said, "Curry hasn't proven himself yet, but Chauncy has proven himself, and I think Curry is nowhere near as good as Chauncey." ”

Billups smiled helplessly, as a teammate, he couldn't refute directly, but it was clear that he didn't think so.

……

Eight p.m., Pepsi Center Arena, Denver.

The Warriors, who are fifth in the West, will challenge the Nuggets who are fourth in the West.

Since this is a plateau, it is naturally not good for the away team.

The first two away games were played by Warriors players.

The Warriors' starting lineup is Zhou Yang, Curry, Margetty, Jackson and Andries.

The Nuggets' starting five are Anthony, Billups, None, Kenyon Martin, and Afflalo.

Jumping the ball in the middle circle, Nene grabbed the first wave of possession, and Billups held the ball and pushed forward.

Curry defends Billups.

Anthony gets stuck on the edge of the box and reaches for the ball.

As the league's leading scorer, Anthony has to make sure he gets his first offense on his own.

Billups immediately passed the ball over.

After Anthony received the ball, he faced Margeti, leaned in, and then quickly turned around and made a turnaround jumper.

It's really an offensive kaleidoscope, and every move and style is very standard.

2:0！

Zhou Yang and Nelson Sr. made a plan for the plateau battle before the game.

That is, try to drag the score in the first half and try to exert yourself again in the second half.

And if you want to drag the score in the first half, you have to make more shots from Zhou Yang.

The Warriors attacked, Curry dribbled past half court and passed the ball directly to Zhou Yang.

Anthony took the initiative to come over to defend Zhou Yang.

This is the character of Little Melon, he is not a megalomaniac, since he bragged at the press conference, he will definitely try his best to defend Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang didn't dare to be careless, facing Anthony, making tentative steps.

Scold!

Zhou Yang broke through sharply to the left, and Anthony stretched out his arms and clinged to the defense while moving quickly under his feet.

At the moment when Anthony moved, Zhou Yang suddenly pulled the ball back, and at the same time pulled it back!

Zhou Yang used the trick of [directly pulling] to respond strongly to Anthony's goal just now.

Anthony was shocked, his defense wasn't top-notch, but it wasn't bad either.

Zhou Yang's retreat was so realistic that without the slightest warning, Anthony's center of gravity couldn't move back at all.

He could only watch Zhou Yang and hit a three-point shot!

The Nuggets' home court, which was cheering just now, immediately quieted down!

Away silencer!

After the goal, Zhou Yang and his teammates high-fived and roared, he hoped to use this goal to stimulate the morale of his teammates!

In the plateau, it is really difficult to breathe, and you must support the players with strong mental strength!
