Chapter 124
The Golden State Warriors are located in San Francisco, California. In the 19th century, this was the center of the American Gold Rush. Early Chinese laborers lived here after immigrating to the United States. They called it "Golden Mountain".

"Hey, Jiangbei, you can go to Chinatown here, there are many of your compatriots here!" Ayton introduced with his arm around Jiangbei's shoulder.

Speaking of which, the name San Francisco was given by early Chinese immigrants from Guangdong Province.Although there is no gold in San Francisco (there are gold mines in the interior of California from Sacramento to the west), but the Chinese people went to California in the early days to seek gold, so they directly called the place where they landed - San Francisco Port - Jinshan.During this period of time, a large number of Chinese people came to San Francisco and settled here, and it became the city with the largest number of Chinese people.

The home arena of the Warriors is the Chase Center Arena. It is worth mentioning that the design of this arena specifically involved a room for fans and tourists to visit the exhibition. It displays the historical materials of the Warriors, the NBA history of the Warriors' major players, and championship trophies. Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and other Hampton Five are included.

Before the game, Williams announced the starting players for this game. This is the last preseason game before the regular season. In order to better run the team, the starting point guard was replaced by Chris Paul, shooting guard Jiangbei, small forward Mikal Bridges, power forward Cameron Johnson, center Deandre Ayton, and Devin Booker became the sixth man and was responsible for leading the second team.

This is impossible. The competition in the NBA is so cruel. One radish and one pit. If you go up, someone has to go down. If you want to keep your position, then you must always ensure your state and strength, so as not to be replaced by the latecomers.

Jiangbei successfully became the starter, Paul and Ayton were happy for him, and some other teammates also came to congratulate Jiangbei.

There was only one person with a livid face, and that was Devin Booker. His starting position was replaced by this kid who hadn't even reached the age of 18. He was very unconvinced.

The Warriors' starting lineup is point guard Stephen Curry, shooting guard Klay Thompson, small forward Andrew Wiggins, power forward Draymond Green, and center James Wiseman.

In this game, Jiangbei’s opponent was Klay Thompson. Thompson’s greatest offensive value is shooting, but Thompson’s offensive skills are relatively simple, and he lacks Stephen Curry’s skillful ball handling. In the game, it is almost impossible to see Thompson’s dribbling-stopping-shooting in one go like Curry.Thompson can't play the ball-handler role. He is more like a catch-and-shoot machine, and his assist rate among all shooters is only lower than the Hawks' Kyle Korver.Thompson seldom goes to the penalty area, because his autonomous offensive skills are not good enough, it is difficult to get free throws, the lack of breakthroughs and fouls affects the stability of Thompson's performance, and also lowers Thompson's true shooting percentage.

As for defense, Klay Thompson can defend 3 positions. Because Curry's offensive tasks are too heavy and his body is thin, Thompson is often arranged to defend the point guard, which also liberates Curry's offense.Thompson's defensive short board is lack of athletic ability, but he is very tenacious.

It's just that with Curry's subsequent weight gain and defensive ability, Thompson was slowly liberated.

At the same time, as James Wiseman has gone through a season of experience and offseason training, he has already played a wonderful performance in the first few games of this season, which is completely different from last season.

Although the current Warriors have lost Durant, their strength has not weakened, and they still have good strength.

Jiangbei has never been nervous because of the strength of his opponent. Just in this game, Jiangbei ushered in the opportunity to start the game. Before the game, Jiangbei sat quietly in the locker room.

This is a method that Jiang Bei learned from Kobe. Kobe said that whenever he encountered a strong opponent, he would sit quietly in the locker room before the game, not thinking about anything, and emptying his mind.

This is very useful, you can adjust your emotions, so that you are in a relatively stable state.

"Guys, it's time to play!" Chris Paul greeted everyone to come on the field, and the game is about to begin!

Jiang Bei walked on the field and looked at Thompson, who was wearing the No. 11 jersey. He was 2.01 meters tall and weighed 97.6 kg. He was about the same weight as Jiang Bei, but he was taller than Jiang Bei.

Jiangbei can make good use of his speed advantage to face Thompson. This is a good strategy, Jiangbei thought.

At the beginning of the game, the midfielder jumped the ball. With his rich experience and excellent jumping ability, Ayton easily won the jump ball.

Chris Paul holds the ball, dribbles across half court, and faces Curry's defense at the top of the key.

Jiang Bei stood on the flank and opened his hands for the ball. Paul did not choose to pass the ball immediately, but chose to break through.

Discovering Paul's breakthrough, the Warriors immediately shrunk their defense, leaving Jiangbei open.

Paul passed the ball behind his back and successfully handed the ball to the outside Jiang Bei.

Unmarked, how could Jiangbei give up such a good opportunity, he made a jumper and hit a three-pointer.

On the way back to defense, Jiang Bei and Paul high-fived each other.

"The three-pointer is good, and the shot is very accurate!"

"It's also thanks to your pass, it's very comfortable and the opportunity is good!"

After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled, and returned to their defensive positions.

Williams saw Jiangbei and Paul's cooperation off the court. Although it was a very simple cooperation, it can be seen that Jiangbei's first start was a very good reaction, especially for Paul, which made the team's offense smoother and scoring easier than before.

Curry made a three-pointer when he saw Jiang Bei coming up, which made him very upset. How dare he shoot a three-pointer in front of him, which is really provocative!
After serving from the baseline, Curry quickly advanced with the ball and came near the three-point line.

Thompson immediately went up and made a wall for Curry. Curry quickly threw off Paul's defense with Thompson's pick-and-roll, ready to shoot.

But Jiang Bei's reaction was also very timely, quickly completed the defense switch with Paul, and came to Curry.

Facing Jiangbei's sudden appearance, Curry did not hesitate, and directly chose a three-point shot, and Jiangbei immediately jumped up to block the shot.

Jiangbei's defense was very good for this goal, and Curry's line of sight was completely blocked, but the goal was still made.

After landing, Jiang Bei looked at Curry. As expected, he was the most accurate three-pointer in the league, so he could make it.
