Chapter 17 Welcome Ceremony
Li Zhi's expression softened when he saw Monta Ellis approaching.

Without him, Monta Ellis was the first person to call to welcome him to the Warriors.

"George, train with us!" Monta Ellis invited.

Li Zhi looked at the two groups of people on the field, and it was obvious that they looked like two tigers in a mountain. This "Black Eight Warrior" that outsiders were optimistic about was not as simple as imagined.

"Okay, that's what I meant." Li Zhi smiled and walked towards Monta Ellis.

In this form, Li Zhi can only choose to stand in line, and that kind of obedient neutral player must also stand in this infighting.

"Welcome to the Golden State, George." Stephen Jackson gave Li Zhi a complete "dock worship" ceremony, hammering his chest and punching him.

"Hello, George!" Another rookie Marco Belinelli and Matt Barnes also came over to welcome Li Zhi.

"Hello, take care of me in the future!" Li Zhi is not a ignorant person. People respect me a foot, and I respect others.

However, Li Zhi also has a rule: I will not offend others if they do not offend me, and if they offend me, I will pay back a hundredfold.

……

After training for a while, Don Nelson called everyone together.

"Long time no see, everyone! The offseason was good, Byron gained weight again, Stephen got a gold tooth? The Pitrins European Championships are killing everyone! And Ellis, is it true that my wife won't eat meat this summer? Look at your thin body, it's time to gain weight brother!"

Don Nelson's remarks caused a burst of laughter from the players on the field. On the surface, the atmosphere was not bad!

"First of all, let's welcome two new friends! George, I believe you all know him, and he will fight with us this year. Welcome!"

Monta Ellis took the lead, and there was a round of applause.

And Baron Davis and Al Harrington and others are obviously perfunctory.

"Belinelli, he is our marksman, use your magical three-pointers to help the team in the future, boy!"

Bellinelli blushed and nodded shyly.

"Okay, now let's play a training match to see if you have slack off in the summer! Perform well, kids!"

Next, the pairs were divided into two groups.

The red group is led by Baron Davis, with El Harrington, Belinelli, Andris Biedrins and Matt Barnes, Baron Davis point guard, Belinelli shooting guard, Barnes small forward, Harrington power forward, and Bitrins center.

In the starting lineup last season, the red team took up three players.

The blue team consisted of Monta Ellis, Stephen Jackson, Li Zhi, Patrick O'Bryant and Michael Pietrus.

This is a small lineup, with Monta Ellis as the point guard, Stephen Jackson as the shooting guard, small forward Li Zhi, power forward Pietrus, and the center is last season's backup center O'Bryant.

Li Zhi put on the red vest and was ready to play.

Looking at Baron Davis who was casually changing clothes on the other side, Li Zhi rolled his eyes and smiled.

The two teams jumped the ball, and the taller Bitrins allocated it to Baron Davis. After taking the ball, Baron Davis slowly dribbled across the half court, looked at the situation on the court, and signaled for the court to open.

He wants to single Monta Ellis.

Monta Ellis' face changed. He didn't expect Baron Davis to be so shameless and put the dirty things between the two on the table.

Baron Davis dribbles under his crotch and makes dazzling moves.

"Little Monta, you are still too young!"

As soon as the words fell, Baron Davis accelerated to break through to the left in an instant, then pulled back, and made a mid-range shot.

"Shh!"

Go in!

Al Harrington happily celebrated with Baron Davis, and took a look at Monta Ellis with a livid face.

"It's okay, hit the next ball back!"

Li Zhi patted Monta Ellis on the shoulder.

"Ok!"

The offensive and defensive changes, Monta Ellis handles the ball, as a scoring guard, he is not very good at organizing.

The blue team played in a hurry. Monta Ellis dropped the ball to Stephen Jackson. Stephen Jackson took advantage of the situation and was hit. Unexpectedly, Al Harrington double-teamed and cut it off.

"Damn it!" Stephen Jackson cursed secretly, quickly chasing Baron Davis who was holding the ball and fast-breaking.

Baron Davis is still very fast, and Stephen Jackson, who is a step slower, cannot catch up.

Layup, two points.

Baron Davis made a smug expression towards Stephen Jackson, pointed to his eyes with two fingers, and then pointed to Li Zhi.

That means, it's your turn, kid.

The blue team attacked, and Monta Ellis kept running on the perimeter to lead the defensive Baron Davis to run around.

Stephen Jackson saw Matt Barnes, who was chasing Monta Ellis with Baron Davis, glanced at him, and passed the ball to Li Zhi in the bottom corner.

Li Zhi catches the ball and does not shoot, because Bitrins has already rushed towards Li Zhi.

Li Zhi hit the ground and passed the ball to O'Bryant. Seeing that he was unguarded, O'Bryant immediately dunked.

The blue team cheered and finally scored a goal.

After scoring the goal, the blue team and others looked at Li Zhi, and were surprised that Li Zhi passed the ball well.

Li Zhi smiled and waved his hands, saying, "Unexpected accident!"

The other four didn't believe it at all, even O'Briant looked at Li Zhi with starry eyes, expecting Li Zhi to pass him a few more balls like that.

O'Bryant came off the bench last season and only played 24 games. He averaged less than 5 minutes per game, scoring only 1.5 points, 0.2 assists, and 2 rebounds.

Next, the red team, which was slapped in the face, launched an attack, seeing the weakness of the blue team's weak inside, and broke through repeatedly.

Baron Davis broke through and scored.

Matt Barnes breaks through and Pietrus fouls.

Hal Harrington hit back and scored two points.

Belinelli made a three-pointer and scored.

……

In the next few minutes, the red team was caught off guard by the blue team because of their lack of strength.

At halftime, 30-42, the blue team trailed by 12 points.

Li Zhi sat on the sidelines and gasped for breath, thinking that this NBA-intensive game is exhausting.

"Ellis, I think we should change our style of play!" Li Zhi said to Monta Ellis.

"Another way of playing? What do you mean?" Monta Ellis was puzzled, but he didn't mind listening to Li Zhi's thoughts.

"Our lineup is obviously weak inside, but we shoot accurately and are faster than them. We should play fast, defend and counterattack, and make three-pointers in a row!"

Li Zhi was a little excited as he talked, this is a classic NBA style of play in later generations, and it may be carried forward in his own hands.

Thinking about what would happen to Cole if he stole Cole's tactics, Li Zhi unconsciously felt a sense of excitement.

Monta Ellis and others suddenly realized.

Use your own strengths to attack others' weaknesses.
