There is no need to say more about Xu Xuan’s return to China. In addition, the aftermath of just leading the Chinese men’s basketball team to the Olympic silver medal has not dissipated. When everyone on the Lakers landed from Magic International Airport, they were even used to seeing them. The Lakers players in the big scene were shocked by Xu Xuan's popularity.
"I wipe it! I wipe it! Xu, your popularity does not call all your old family members, right?" Nick Yang grinned and grinned: "Xu, to show face , Isn't it?"
"Call someone?" Yi Jian, who is more familiar with the situation, looked back at him and chuckled, "If Xu Xuan called someone, you might never think of that scene in your life."
The players of the Lakers pouted. Nick Young is no longer a newcomer to the Lakers. He is an old man who has been with Kobe. It can be said that I don’t know how many I have seen in the big scene. There is no such momentum.
Of course, when he first came, the Lakers were already going downhill, and Kobe's popularity at his peak...
The Warriors arrived the next day. From the grapevine, I learned about the grand occasion of pick-up when the Lakers arrived. Elementary school students were envious. They called Xu Xuan that night and expressed that they were envious and jealous. , And we must take good care of Xu Xuan's unhealthy practices.
Xu Xuan raised his and ignored him.
Wait until you do it, then come to see the Lord.
This Chinese game was really involved, and the venue was held in an international metropolis like Magic City. When Xu Xuan and others came to the arena one day in advance to adapt, they found that a lot of people had been surrounded outside, although the game still had to It started the next day, but many fans came a day earlier.
The training process was nothing interesting, but after Dayao had discussed with Xu Xuan, Xu Xuan went to get the consent of Coach Frank and agreed to let the group of national players observe them during their training.
In fact, there is nothing to watch. Back in the Olympic Games, the men's basketball team even watched the training of the Dream Team.
But if you really want to say it, there is still a difference.
Whether an NBA team is an NBA team is still a bit different from a national team.
The tactics are relatively finer and more rigorous.
Frank was very satisfied. Xu Xuan could directly let them over, but didn't do so. Instead, he first came to apply for it. This was emotional intelligence.
There is nothing to hide from the training content of the Lakers, because coach Frank did not intend to expose anything in the preseason, even if the opponent is the Warriors.
...
At 8 pm, the Lakers and Warriors China game began.
The scene was boiling.
The two sides are also really fighting. Curry said that Xu Xuan was going to slip, but how could the preseason really kill him?
And at this time, whoever wants to miss the bottom line now wants to hide it for a while, and the preseason doesn't care about the outcome. It is important in the regular season.
However, after seeing Xu Xuan dunking two baskets in a row and causing huge cheers on the scene, this guy was not to be outdone by soaring two three-pointers from the outside and all scored.
No defense, it's boring to have to defend yourself in the preseason.
To put it plainly, the preseason is a warm-up game to some extent. The defensive thing is only used when it is dead, and the preseason is ignored.
However, if he said yes, he played casually, but with the fight, the two teams started to work with real swords.
The coaches of the two teams can't stop either. They can arrange a rotation of the lineup, but if the players on the field have to fight with real swords, they can't stop them.
Although it was not the same as what was said, the two teams played hard and the game was pretty good. Xu Xuan and Yi Jianlian's pick-and-roll cooperation, Lou Wei's three-pointer, Ingram's high-level catch and support, and two pitchers running. Excellent. Although it is a positional battle, the Lakers offense is pretty good.
Not to mention the Warriors, Curry also played a pick-and-roll and cooperated with Clay.
However, there was no real fight. In the fourth quarter of the game, when the Lakers fell behind by 20 points, Xu Xuan went off the court and left to watch the show...
The coach Zhang Fangyi and the coach Yu Jia who were specially invited to explain the game are also analyzing the game.
"The Warriors are still strong. It is estimated that I will be watching last year's finals. In the end, I may still be willing to believe that the Warriors will win the championship." Yu Jia said.
"A record-breaking 73 wins, Curry's exaggerated 400 three-pointers. Then an epic reversal of the Thunder into the finals, just one championship short of perfection, it's a pity, it fell short in the end."
Yu Jia's tone was a little emotional.
Last season he really did not expect the Pacers to win the championship.
73 is the strongest record ever, not one of them!
"But the defeat in the finals will not affect their record-breaking greatness in the regular season." Zhang Yangliang's point of view is also very clear.
"Last season lost to the Pacers, I can only say that Xu Xuan is too strong."
Seeing Zhang Liliang uttering this sentence in an emotional and uncomfortable tone, the corners of Yu Jia's mouth twitched.
Playing birds and birds, this guy's "Xuan Chu" skill seems to be even better?
This consciousness, no, if this continues, I will fall behind...I will be beaten if I fall behind, and Yu Jia is ready to keep up with Zhang's advancement.
And Zhang Yangliang's guidance is still immersed in analyzing the rhythm of the Warriors.
"Some people say that the Warriors are strong, and there are things that say luck, but why the Warriors can win? Many people can't say so.
First of all, the Warriors are a team that relies heavily on fast breaks and switching offenses.
The Warriors' rhythm is 101.65 rounds per game, making it the second fastest-paced team in the league. They have a high percentage of offenses, scoring 30.1% and ranking third in the league. The efficiency of 0.966 points in each chaotic battle is not high, and it can only be ranked 15th in the league. The reason is simple. The Warriors like to throw three-pointers when chaotically... Although you are very accurate in three-pointers, a few fast three-pointers Can beat people directly without temper, but on the whole, fast break three-pointers is not a conventional means of fast break after all, it is still not advancing! "
Zhang Yangyi took a sip of water and continued: "This is in stark contrast to other teams that play steadily and seize every opportunity after catching opponents' mistakes.
Then let’s talk about positional battles. The Warriors are one of the teams that rely on the ball the most in positional battles.
His off-ball scoring accounted for 47%, ranking fifth in the league. With a large number of high-quality and even epic three-pointers, the Warriors' off-the-ball offensive efficiency ranks first in the league with 1.107 points per round without any suspense.
The Warriors have a lot of off-the-ball routines. Except that they don’t like to use the inside hand to give the shooter a distance shot (because they all shoot three-pointers), they are very proficient in other off-the-ball play. They are basically the league’s air-cut ratio. One of the highest teams.
With these two output heads, the Warriors have very few singles with the ball, and only 22..9% of the scoring rounds are the lowest in the league. "
Yu Jia also nodded, expressing agreement with Zhang Yangyi's analysis.
With that said, Zhang Yangliang talked about the signing of the Warriors this year.
Zhang Liangfang pointed to Durant below: "This year the Warriors signings are the most successful among all NBA teams in our opinion. Of course, except for the Lakers..."
Yu Jia: "......"
Can you keep some for me to blow, you are done, how can I keep up with your footsteps?
"They brought in the top 5 players in the league, MVP-level Durant without losing most of the team's core lineup.
In my opinion, this is an S-level operation.
In this league, as long as you can exchange role players for the top 5 players in the league, it is worth sacrificing most of the lineup. Many people say that there is only one ball? This is a coach’s problem, but I will report the same problem to you. There was only one ball, and only one shot was last! How can it be worthwhile for your group of role players to switch to a top 5 super giant in the league! No matter how good a group of jigsaw puzzle players are, it is easy to get stuck in the playoffs when the core is not strong enough. "
After speaking, Zhang Yangyi continued: "But now it’s different with Durant. Durant is too suitable for the Warriors. I know that I would never have thought that there would be a second person in the league who would be so suitable for the Warriors. Rhythm.
In the old days, when Curry and Clay couldn’t find the touch, the Warriors’ offense would fall into a mess, but now with Durant, when Curry and Clay can’t find the touch, he can come out and take over the game. . Zhang Yangfang pointed to the playing field below: "Hey, that's it now." "
The scene that appeared on the court was exactly the scene where Durant used a clean dry pull to stop the bleeding after Curry missed three consecutive points.
"Trust me, everyone, this scene, you will often see in the future, Durant is not just joining, it will be a huge chemical reaction."
Zhang Yangliang analyzed a lot.
Yu Jia is also very acquainted, and immediately put on a conversation: "Actually, this team currently has only one shortcoming in the lineup, that is, the ability to protect the frame. The team has lost the two best frame protectors in a row, and the supplement is big. Wei Lee and Zaza are both good for defending for a while, but they can’t protect the floor and flow inside. The team must completely limit the opponent on the outside and mid-range. Once the opponent has a chance to reach the basket and end, The team will have nothing to do."
"Unless..." Zhang Jingyi hesitated.
Yu Jia immediately said, "Unless what?"
"Unless Zaza is involved in things, otherwise, the insiders are really not theirs." Zhang Yangyi's guidance is also outspoken.
He has nothing to fear, not to mention that Zaza really did something to Xu Xuan at the beginning, this guy is not a good person.
On the court, Xu Xuan was also observing the Warriors' lineup. Although he had a rest, his eyes never left the court.
Especially Durant.
Durant is a bit low-key now.
In other words, it is not a bit, but rather low-key.
There are not many shots in the team, usually when Curry and Clay have no chance, or can't find the touch, he will silently catch the ball, even if it is Green, today’s game The number of shots is more than Durant.
But Durant was very silent and didn't express anything special.
Durant is a smart man, smart people like to play smart basketball; Durant is a straightforward person who is not good at socializing and public relations, so that he just walks away, never concealing or defending for himself. So when he came to the warrior and slandered the world, he still didn't explain anything.
It wasn't until recently that he said to Bill Simmons that there is no barrier between him and Westbrook, but the media and public opinion always like to overinterpret. Durant doesn't like the media. Everyone should remember that he used to protect Westbrook and angered Cuban when facing interviews.
For a while, even the local Oklahoma media disparaged him. It was in the 2014 playoffs. The headline of the Oklahoma newspaper said he was "Mr. Untrustworthy." So, don't blame Durant for his decision. Oklahoma City was not friendly to him.
Durant came to the Golden State Warriors for the ultimate dream of basketball. He learned the most advanced team offense in the league today, and he integrated into a team system with the most harmonious atmosphere.
He knew exactly what he wanted, why he came to the Warriors, and why he wanted to join forces with Curry and Clay.
It is the eternal goal of an excellent basketball player to learn and improve himself without regrets. Winning and winning the championship is the lifelong pursuit of a superstar. Durant is a player who has won the MVP~EbookFREE.me~ He is a four-time scoring champion. He deserves a personal honor. He has already experienced the fame and status he should have.
Therefore, before reaching his goal, he will endure, he will endure it.
Of course, I can't bear it... it's time for him to leave.
This point will be referenced by later generations.
Xu Xuan is very familiar with Durant, and of course he knows very well.
Earlier, Durant had secretly asked him if he wanted to do something, but Xu Xuan later rejected it.
Durant is a guy with spine too. He said he wanted to join the loser, but he didn't say anything, he just joined.
Now, this is their biggest opponent this season. To win the championship and the miracle of last season, the Warriors are the hurdle Xu Xuan must overcome.
...
Of course, there is no suspense in the game.
The strength gap between the two teams is huge. They were 20 points behind at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Xu Xuan also had a rest early. Durant was very interested and played for a few more minutes.
In the end, 123 to 107. In the first game of this China game, the Lakers lost outright.
Xu Xuan performed well and scored 30 points in a limited time. Not to mention the Warriors, Durant 32 points, Curry 27 points, Clay 21 points...
After the game, Xu Xuan also met with David West.
This guy has joined the Warriors anyway. He doesn't change his mind and wants to be a champion.
Xu Xuan laughed and scolded him for lack of vision and wanted to be a champion. Isn't he good for the Lakers?
In this regard, West is very despised.
It is also true that he won the championship with Xu Xuan last season. He doesn't believe that the Lakers can do anything this season, let alone the external media.
