Chapter 220: The Real Runner-up?
The schedule arranged by the league is still a bit cautious.
The media and fans have called last season's Warriors "the real runner-up"!
It means that the Warriors and the Suns, no matter which team breaks out of the West, can beat the Celtics and win the championship!
This statement was strongly protested by Celtic fans.
But it didn't work, the Suns won the championship, and the momentum was in full swing, and the Warriors eliminated the Lakers, and Zhou Yang scored 82 points.
Fans of these two teams became the main force of the offseason, and Celtics fans had to swallow their anger.
And the first game of this season is to arrange for the Warriors and Celtics to play against each other, which shows that the NBA has played the traffic clearly.
Although it was just an ordinary regular season, it attracted a lot of attention before the game.
If the Warriors win, then Celtics fans will not be able to hold their heads up at all, and the West will be strong and the East will be weak.
If the Warriors lose, then the Celtics can prove themselves and are indeed runners-up!
In the pre-game interview, Garnett and Pierce began to shout-
"The Warriors took advantage of them last season, the so-called Splash Brothers, but everyone is not familiar with them!"
"We already know how to beat them, and we're never going to win a championship with a three-point shot!"
"This season, our goal is still to win the championship, and it would be nice if the Warriors could make the playoffs!"
……
This remark once again caused a heated debate among fans in the media.
Eight p.m., Golden State Oracle Arena.
The Warriors host the Celtics!
The Warriors' starting lineup is Zhou Yang, Curry, Chandler, Turkoglu and Barbossa!
The Celtics' starting five are Pierce, Garnett, Rondo, Ray Allen, O'Neal!
This season, the Celtics have brought in the big shark O'Neal, and his ambitions are high!
Although O'Neal is not young, he is still very dominant under the basket.
Jumping ball in the middle circle, O'Neal grabbed the first wave of the ball for the Celtics!
Rondo dribbled past half court.
Because the reputation of the Splash Brothers is too loud, many guards in the league are not convinced.
Rondo was the one who was most unconvinced.
On more than one occasion, he has expressed his disdain for the Splash Brothers, especially Curry, when facing the media.
"Curry? It's just a three-point shooter, and I don't shoot as well as him, but I have a championship ring! He won't win a championship in his life! ”
Rondo is also a bully and afraid of the hard, he does not dare to point fingers at Zhou Yang, but he does not hide his contempt for Curry.
Curry is a very competitive guy, and the baby face is just a façade.
After the loss to the Suns, Curry did not immediately take a vacation and continued to practice.
The training content was completely formulated for him by Zhou Yang.
In another parallel world, Curry didn't reach his peak until 14 years.
He had always been a glass man before, and he was very thin.
Zhou Yang's help made Curry grow ahead of schedule, and after he changed the way he used his power, his ankle was no longer easily injured, and his strength was strengthened a lot.
The current Curry, the Curry of the 18 and 19 seasons, is the perfect combination of strength and skill.
Of course, there is still a lack of game experience, which requires a lot of games to summarize.
Rondo dribbled past half court and snorted when he saw Curry marking.
And Curry also looked at him with a fierce face.
It's clear that Curry is a grudge-holder, and he saw Rondo's interview.
So he swore today that he must limit Rondo's attack!
Rondo relied on his long arm span and dribbled nimbly to play Curry.
Curry responded calmly, stuck in position.
He knew that Rondo's projection was average, so he didn't care about Rondo's shooting at all, and only guarded against his breakthrough.
Rondo was busy for a long time and found that he couldn't break through Curry's defense at all.
It's only been one offseason, and Curry has obviously made a lap, and he can't hit it with his body at all!
With only 5 seconds left in the attacking time, Rondo had no choice but to pass the ball to Pierce.
Curry sneered: "That's it? ”
Rondo pretended not to hear, and his face was extremely ugly.
Pierce faced Zhou Yang, shook his shoulders, and then made a quick move!
It's a pity that his shaking is of little use to Zhou Yang, as soon as he makes a move, he snaps!
Zhou Yang bounced at an amazing speed and knocked the ball off.
The strength of this big hat was very small, it didn't go out of bounds, and it hit Barbossa right in front of him.
The Brazilian lightning lived up to its name and immediately launched a fast attack.
Despite Rondo's desperate pursuit, Barbosa slipped the line and scored a layup!
Oracle Arena was cheered as it was the first goal of the regular season.
Zhou Yang's big hat has become a big gate to curb the attack of the Kai team!
Barbossa was originally a member of the Suns' run-and-gun team, and now joining the Warriors is seamless!
Celtic back on the offensive.
Rondo finally understood that it was impossible to bully Curry, so he had to pass the ball to O'Neal in advance.
The big shark is getting older and moving slower, but it still has a lot of strength.
He pushed Chandler away, turned around, and bam!
Score a smash slam!
Although Tekoglu wanted to help defend, O'Neill was already on the rise and couldn't stop it.
2:2!
At the beginning of the game, there was a strong smell of gunpowder!
Warriors offense.
Curry dribbled past half court, and Rondo stepped forward to defend.
Rondo's long arms really made Curry uncomfortable, Tekoglu stepped forward to cover, Curry moved quickly sideways, and Garnett delayed a lot and didn't give Curry a chance to shoot.
But Curry's small play is becoming more and more proficient, and in the face of Garnett, suddenly a fake breakthrough, and at the moment when Garnett moved back, Curry pulled the ball back and shot three-pointers!
The action was so smooth that Garnett was almost shaken over.
It's a pity that the shot was a little off, and Chandler grabbed in front of the big shark, grabbed the rebound, and passed it to Zhou Yang.
That's where Chandler comes in, he's very good at rebounding.
Zhou Yang received the ball, and in the face of Pierce's defense, he also learned from Pierce and shook his shoulders to pass people.
His shoulders were shaken more widely, and it was so realistic that Pierce was really stunned.
Zhou Yang accelerated to near the baseline and threw a backward jumper!
Swish!
In a one-on-one situation, there is really no one in the alliance who can stop Zhou Yang!
Pierce's face was ugly, and he remembered the scene when he was beaten out of by Zhou Yang.
The Warriors' home court was cheering, Zhou Yang made his first shot today, and he played Pierce, cool!
Fans also saw Pierce's pre-match interview, so every time Pierce touched the ball, he was booed by the crowd.
Zhou Yang's attack and defense in the face of Pierce are also very targeted!
Pierce is going to be miserable today......
4:2!
Celtic attack.
Rondo passes the ball to O'Neill again.
O'Neal just wanted to bully Chandler, but when he went to the basket, he was grabbed by Barbossa's arm, and the referee's whistle blew and Barbossa was fouled. finish
Slash sharks!
