Chapter 368: Zhou Yang picked an unpopular rookie again

The manager was very excited, he thought that Zhou Yang had found some treasure again.

"Okay, you say, I'll write it down!"

"Jimmy Butler in the first round, and Isaiah Thomas in the second round."

“……”

The manager was silent.

He looked up the information of these two people, and was speechless.

"Second Brother Yang, the talent of these two people is too poor, one has a short arm span, and the other has a ...... Too short, isn't it, 1.7 meters? ”

Zhou Yang smiled, the manager's thoughts are normal, because before landing in the NBA, all teams consider hardware talent first.

As for what learning ability, what willpower, and what ball quotient, they are all ranked behind.

"Manager, listen to me, just sign these two guys, they can make our replacements stronger."

The Warriors' starting lineup is truly invincible, but only Livingston can score off the bench, the rest of the players have a hard time scoring, and there is no serious backup point guard.

If there is Thomas Jr., Jimmy Butler, then the attack power of the bench will be greatly improved.

Although Thomas Jr. is too short to be targeted on the defensive end, the Warriors can make up for his lack of height with collective defense.

Seeing that Zhou Yang was so insistent, the manager had no choice but to agree.

……

The new season is about to begin, and the Warriors are about to launch a new attack for their second consecutive championship!

The Warriors won three of the five preseason games.

In the two games that were lost, Zhou Yang and Curry did not play, mainly to run in the rookies and bench lineups.

……

The regular season that fans have been waiting for is about to begin.

As the defending champions, the Warriors have high hopes from fans.

In the first regular season game, the Warriors hosted the Thunder.

The schedule arranged by the league is very interesting.

In last season's playoffs, the Warriors and Thunder were both young teams, and many fans were looking forward to meeting these two teams.

However, the Warriors met the Grizzlies, the Mavericks and the Suns, and missed out on the Thunder.

This has caused many fans to have endless reverie.

Splash Brothers and Thunder Four, who is stronger?

Of course, from the perspective of results, the Warriors have passed all the way and won the championship, and they must be stronger.

And the Thunder's loss to the Mavericks must be the weak one.

But it's not a simple addition or subtraction between teams, and there is also a possibility that the Thunder will eliminate the Warriors.

Of course, this is all something that did not happen, and no one can tell.

In the first game of the regular season, the answer will be given!

Eight p.m., Golden State Oracle Arena.

The Warriors host the Thunder!

The Thunder's starting lineup is Durant, Westbrook, Ibaka, Perkins and Seforrosa.

This line-up is basically the same as last season.

The Warriors' starting five are Zhou Yang, Curry, Chandler, Tony Allen and Turkoglou.

Tony Allen and Barbossa were the Warriors' change points last season, and the coach will choose whether to start or not based on the opponent's situation.

If you are playing against each other and fighting for speed, then it is very suitable to go to the Brazilian lightning Barbossa.

But playing a team with strong individual ability and impact, Tony Allen is even more important.

Today is opposite the Thunder, who have extremely strong individual ability, but except for Wei Shao, the speed is not very fast, so the old Nelson replaced Allen.

The game starts with a jump ball in the middle circle.

Chandler grabbed the first wave with ease, and Curry dribbled across half court.

After the offseason, Curry has gotten stronger.

Curry in this parallel world, with the help of Zhou Yang, is slowly evolving towards his peak state.

Curry has taken a lot of detours, and with Zhou Yang in front of him, Curry's pressure is not so great.

However, the injury at the end of last season's finals was still ridiculed by some fans.

Curry is extremely competitive, and he secretly vowed in his heart that he must work harder this season to share the pressure for Zhou Yang.

After half the court, in the face of Wei Shao's defense, Curry did not call for cover, but suddenly started and broke through from the right side.

Wei Shao was also a defensive warrior when he was in college.

Although after entering the NBA, he looked reckless and not so strong on the defensive end, his defensive attitude and speed were top-notch.

As soon as Curry started, Wei Shao also started, sealing Curry's breakthrough route.

But Curry didn't panic at all, dribbled behind his back, and the whole person instantly moved sideways more than a meter away.

Because Wei Shao rushed a little violently just now, the center of gravity couldn't turn back.

Curry took the opportunity to kill the restricted area.

The fans at Oracle Arena cheered loudly, Curry's pass was so beautiful!

However, Ibaka's defensive ability is too strong, and before Curry has reached the restricted area, Ibaka is sealed in front of him.

Curry glanced at the basket and made a motion to shoot it, trying to shake Ibaka up.

But Ibaka is much more mature than last year, and she is no longer the stunned young man.

He relied on the advantage of height and arm length to cover Curry and not give him room to shoot at all.

Curry had no choice but to pass the ball to Turkoglu on the right.

The agent is not easy to fight in the face of Durant.

There were just over 4 seconds left in the attacking time.

Zhou Yang saw that his teammates' offense had stalled, and he was about to make a move.

Facing Sephorosa's entanglement, Zhou Yang shook his head, then ran back, and threw off half of his body with the Swiss Army knife.

Then, relying on speed, it rushed to near the bottom line.

As if seeing a lifesaver, Turkoglu hurriedly passed the ball out.

Zhou Yang received the ball, or 1 second, Ibaka pounced again.

Extreme shot!

The fans were nervous for a while, feeling that Ibaka's long arm had sealed Zhou Yang.

But Zhou Yang shot too fast, huh!

Long two-point hit!

Honk!

The referee's whistle blew for a foul on the Ibaka thug.

Ibaka pounced too hard just now, and his entire arm was pressed against Zhou Yang's arm, and Zhou Yang took advantage of the situation and fell.

"Second Brother Yang's cow pen!"

"Haha, the new season is new, Kung Fu Panda is still so fierce!"

"Second Brother Yang shot too fast!"

……

Warriors fans are now the happiest fans in the league, having won the championship last season, and this season has a full lineup and is very hopeful of hitting two consecutive championships!

Thunder head coach Brooks stood on the sidelines with a blank face, and he was very ambitious for this new season.

Holding these good cards in your hand and saying that you have no ambition, that's fake.

is also a youth army, and the Warriors have won the championship, while the Thunder stopped in the second round last year, which is really a bit embarrassing.

So in the first game of the regular season, against the Warriors, Brooks was well prepared.

From defense to offensive tactics, it is much richer than last season.

But as soon as he came up, he still let Zhou Yang play this kind of fairy ball, and Brooks was still a little panicked in his heart.

However, the Thunder is not easy to mess with, and when they look back, Durant pulled it out at a 45-degree angle and returned a three-point shot!

3:3 draw!

This match is destined to be a fantastic one.
