I didn't want to fly away

Chapter 54 The first game of the preseason, against Curry! (For collection, for follow-up)
June 10, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

The preseason finally came, and the Clippers played against the Warriors at home in their first game.

"Lu Yi, are you injured? Why didn't I see you play in the summer league?" The Warriors players warmed up, and Curry ran to Lu Yi early to ask questions.

"I am healthy. I have been doing special training in the summer. The level of the summer league is too low. There is no need to waste my time." Lu Yi said bluntly.

"Really? Then let me see your high level! You shouldn't let me down, right?" Curry and Lu Yi grudged.

In the previous summer league, Curry averaged 17.4 points, 4.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game.

Warriors veterans and Oakland fans praised Curry, which made Curry grin his teeth.

Who would have thought that in Lu Yi's mouth, the summer league is a low-level league that is not worth playing.

Originally, Curry was interested in chatting with Lu Yi, but now he just wants to kill Lu Yi or be killed by Lu Yi in the next game.

However, in the next game, Curry was not the only one with similar emotions, but also a bearded man.

Beard is a meritorious player of the Black Eight Warriors, although he chose to leave the Warriors himself.

But if it wasn't for the fact that the Warriors couldn't give him the long-term contract he wanted, and they couldn't introduce strong support in the free market, how could Beard come to the Clippers and sink in pain?
It has to be said that Beard has resentment towards the Warriors, and playing the old owner is usually a specialty of NBA stars.

After warming up for more than an hour, the fans began to enter the field.

In the usual preseason games, the arena is not full of fans. Even for the Lakers, there will be some empty seats, especially the expensive front row seats.

But today, fans in Los Angeles were very active and filled the Staples Center early.

At least at first glance, there was nowhere to see an empty seat.

And Clippers owner Sterling brought his girlfriend to the arena early today.

"Look, the Chinese champion I have chosen! This is the most successful business I have done this year!" Sterling proudly said.

Sterling originally signed Lu Yi to sell tickets, but a Chinese businessman came to him two months ago to discuss cooperation with him in advertising and sponsorship.

Naturally, Sterling will not refuse, but it is still negotiating, and Sterling wants to earn more.

How much Lu Yi is worth will not be known until the regular season starts.

Sterling said that if he wants to make [-] million with Lu Yi, he must make an extra [-] million.

Closer to home, after the players were seated, the game quickly entered the link where the two teams started their debut.

First, the Warriors made their debut, but Old Nelson paid attention to Curry, and he made his debut in the first game of the preseason.

It was Ellis and Kelana Azubuike who played together with Curry. The old Nelson put up this three-back lineup, which is a bit confusing.

The Warriors' No. [-] position is the swingman Wu Sheng Jackson, and only the No. [-] position is a normal center Mickey Moore.

One big and four small!What a mad scientist.

On the Clippers side, Randolph took the lead.

Dunleavy did not establish Randolph as the second-in-command, but the team's in-house Lewy and Byrons are both guards and usually play next to each other.

Therefore, among the forward players who played first, Randolph with higher qualifications and better statistics was arranged.

After Randolph, followed by Thornton, and then center Kaman.

In this way, the finale is the bearded man, and Lu Yi is the big one.

Seeing the penultimate appearance of the bearded man, the Los Angeles fans at the scene became excited.

Sure enough, seeing Lu Yi appear on the stage, the audience shouted "Lu Yi", and the scene was extremely lively.

Curry, who also landed in the NBA for the first time, was a bit apprehensive to hear the cheers from the scene.

"Obviously he didn't even play in the summer league..."

Curry, who is a little envious and jealous, wants to prove himself in this game.

However, Lu Yi displayed his defensive strength as soon as he came up. Curry looked extremely embarrassed against Lu Yi for the first time.

Warriors center Moore beat Kaman with a jump ball to help the Warriors get the ball.

The old Nelson is good at playing fast breaks. He also reminded Curry before that he can directly advance quickly with the ball on the court.

But after the Warriors got the ball, Lu Yi immediately found trouble with Curry.

Curry had just received the ball and had to back up to protect the ball.

Lu Yi actually stepped forward to lead the defense!

With thick arms and strong chest muscles, the oppressed Curry is a little uncomfortable.

"Louis, Lui, Lui!"

The fans immediately cheered when they saw this.

This is Lu Yi's enthusiasm for playing. Even after entering the NBA and becoming a millionaire, this enthusiasm has not faded.

College basketball has a wider audience and higher ratings because the players are purer and have the most genuine love for the sport.

Curry's static talent is average, and his dynamic talent is worse than Lu Yi.

Now that he is thin and lacks strength, Lu Yi is pressing to defend, and it is difficult for Curry to dribble.

"I really don't understand what's the use of picking this kid?" Ellis complained, but his body was honest, and he ran to Curry's side to respond.

Curry, a little embarrassed, passed the ball by hitting the ground and passing the ball.

Luigi tried to reach out to intercept, but failed, and then caught up with Ellis and continued to press the defense.

When Ellis saw Lu Yi stepping forward, he didn't pay attention, and just changed direction and broke through with his crotch, and was about to pass Lu Yi.

But the person passed and the ball slipped away.

Lu Yi didn't even look at Ellis, he dribbled the ball and rushed to the basket.

Curry reacted a bit slower, and when he wanted to commit a crime against Lu Yi, Lu Yi had already reached the three-point line one position ahead of time.

Ever since, Curry could only slow down and watch Lu Yi rush into the basket with a one-handed tomahawk dunk.

The Los Angeles fans are so generous today that the Staples Center is full, so Lu Yi naturally wants to make a loud noise for everyone!
Duang——

Although there was the sound of iron strikes on the field, there was a change on the scorer.

0-2, Lu Yi made a dunk and helped the Clippers score two points first.

"Follow up, Stephen, I'm going to dunk on your head." Lu Yi left a trash talk, and turned to leave this time.

Curry was a little annoyed: "You guy!"

As a result, Curry just served from the bottom line, Ellis missed the ball, and was almost intercepted by Lu Yi again.

Ellis' point guard's height and shooting guard's style of play seem to have the potential to be a combo guard, but he doesn't have the delicate ball-handling skills of a point guard, nor does he have the outside shooting ability of a shooting guard.

If it weren't for the speed and explosive power of the league's first gear, coupled with the support of old Nelson's running and bombing tactics, it would be difficult for Ellis to take over and become the leader of the Warriors after the beard left.

The body is relatively thin, the dribble is not good enough, but he must hold the ball in his hands, this is the biggest problem for Ellis.

Old Nelson knew the problem with Ellis. The team needed a ball handler to help Ellis share the dribbling work, and also needed shooting to help open up space so that Ellis' breakthrough ability could be better utilized, so he chose Curry.

However, Ellis disliked that Curry was not strong enough and his defense was worse than him, so he couldn't help him and couldn't be the "Aaron McGee" beside him.

Fortunately, this time, Curry is still very active in playing.

The last time Ellis helped Curry clear, this time Curry immediately stepped forward to help Ellis share the pressure of holding the ball.

It is impossible for Lu Yi to stare at two people by himself.

Not to mention that the Warriors have three guards, and it must be no problem to dribble across half court.

However, the Warriors have to be careful when dribbling the ball when they are running and bombing. How else do they want to play this running and bombing?
One thing to say, as soon as Lu Yi came up, he posed a problem for Old Nelson.
