Chapter 327 The Thunder Twins' Challenge
The lineup of the Warriors for the new season was finally officially determined at the end of October after the end of the preseason.To Li Du's surprise, apart from the newcomers who joined in the summer, Jeremy Lin was also left behind by Nelson as the team's backup point guard for the third round.

This three-round point guard is just a nice way of saying it, but it's actually a drinking fountain guard.Now that the Warriors have enough outside players, Li Du estimated that the old Nelson wanted to use him as a bargaining chip to find other players during the season. If he couldn't find them, he might be cut off directly.

Old Nelson's tactics have always been relatively open, giving full play to the players' own characteristics, so Livingston, Bogut and Dorrell White quickly integrated into the team system, especially Bogut, Because Nelson, considering Yao Ming's continuous campaigns in the summer, has always controlled Yao Ming's playing time to about 25 minutes, which allowed Bogut to have a lot of playing time.

After a large number of transactions, the Warriors, whose personnel seem to have undergone major changes, showed no signs of needing to run-in between players at the beginning of the season.

After leading the team to win the championship last season, Li Du has become more mature and ferocious. He averaged 37.7 points, 6.8 rebounds and 9.3 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.4 assists per game. He blocked the shot twice and led the Warriors all the way forward with absolute strength.

The Warriors' biggest opponent this season, the Heat, is also strong. I don't know if it was stimulated by Li Du. James is very serious in the game. They actually only lost two games. These two losses were due to consecutive away games and everyone's physical exertion. Otherwise, I'm afraid they could tie for the first place in the league with the Warriors.

The media in the United States rarely agree that the opponents of this season's finals have now been determined, and it is the contest between the Warriors and the Heat!
But in this world, there are always people who like to choke, especially those young people who are full of vigor.The young Thunder juniors immediately jumped out, saying that they would prove to everyone in the game that the Thunder is the champion of the Western Conference, and they would stop the Warriors and Li Du!
After Li Du heard what they said, he just smiled. Although he has only been in the NBA for five years, for some reason, when he looks at these young potential basketball stars, he always has a feeling that the seniors are looking at the juniors, and maybe it really is. Deeply influenced by Chinese culture, Li Du did not confront Kobe and others like when they were challenged by juniors. Instead, he used the mouth of the reporters to encourage the two future superstars during the interview: "Come on! I believe that you will be even stronger in the future." powerful!"

The reporters were always looking for topics. After Li Du said this, there were various interpretations. Some people said that Li Du didn't look down on Lei Ting and the other young masters at all, while others said that it was too much for Li Du to think of himself as a senior. Arrogant, and some people said that Li Du was really just encouraging his opponent.

No matter how you interpret it, before the first regular season game between the Warriors and the Thunder started this season, Li Du and the Thunder were already at odds in publicity.

Fans are most likely to be encouraged by the media. With these foreshadowings, the Warriors played against the Thunder at home, and the Oracle Arena was crowded, as if the playoffs were starting.The fans shouted Li Du's name loudly, and followed Li Du's punching during warm-up, shouting loudly.

No matter how enthusiastic the fans are, Li Du is very calm about this game. In all fairness, whether it is Kevin Durant or Westbrook, they can be regarded as rare geniuses, but after all, both skills and experience Still a little immature, Li Du can beat any of them in one-on-one.Li Du's only worry now is that once these two people get together tacitly, Thunder will be too scary!

In Li Du's mind, the characteristics of these two people are very obvious, and they are also very advantageous in the competition.Durant and Li Du were very similar when they first entered the league. He was taller, with a longer wingspan and a bigger footsteps. It was as easy for Durant to score.However, he still has a lot to learn and improve, just like Li Du grew up from a role player.

The appearance of Westbrook is a rare thing that made Li Du feel that "God is not so fair sometimes". Westbrook's physical talent can only be described as explosive. No, but LeBron James, who moved a beat faster, might not be able to keep up with this little monster-like guy if Li Du hadn't already entered the dark energy level.

Yao Ming easily beat the white center Krstic in the jump ball. Curry quickly advanced to the frontcourt after getting the ball, and then passed the ball to Li Du, which is the Warriors' regular play.

As soon as Li Du got the ball and was about to shoot, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a tall black shadow rushing towards him. His heart moved and he withdrew his shooting action.Sure enough, Durant took the initiative to mark Li Du at the beginning of the game, and wanted to meet Li Du.

Seeing Durant who lowered his weight in front of him and put on a standard defensive action, Li Du smiled slightly and stopped taking the initiative to attack. Instead, he lobbed the ball to Yao Ming who was about to get to the inside.

Yao Ming pushed Kostic away with two hits, and when he raised his hand to dunk, a figure stood in front of him in an instant, jumping very high, and he could block the ball.Yao Ming squinted and saw that Ibaka, who was famous for blocking shots, did not change his movements, but increased his speed and strength. As soon as Ibaka's fingers touched the basketball, Yao Ming had already dunked the basketball in forcefully.

Li Du and Yao Ming lightly clapped hands, and when they turned around to return to defense, Durant behind him suddenly said to him: "Li, why didn't you attack just now? Did you want to avoid me? Tell you, you can't avoid it! "

Turning his head to look at Durant, Li Du didn't understand why the future superstar had such a big resentment towards him, but he didn't care so much, and said with a smile: "Kevin, then I'll wait for you on the defensive end. Take Come out with the strongest strength, don't let me down!"

The Thunder attacked, Westbrook quickly dribbled across the frontcourt, and Curry was a whole circle thinner than him, and it seemed that he couldn't stand his ravages at all.On the other hand, Durant held Li-Du with one hand and reached out to Westbrook for the ball.

After a moment of hesitation, Westbrook still passed the ball to Durant, although in his mind he would have an advantage over Curry.

After Durant received the ball, he was ready to single-play Li Du. As soon as the ball was dropped, Li Du swung his right hand quickly, and there was a "snap" sound, and the basketball magically entered Li Du's hands.
