Chapter 95 The Shining Generation

4: 0.

At the beginning, the Kings gave the Warriors a big blow, even though the Kings last season were a big team, and the Warriors last season were a playoff team.

But according to the fact that both sides are starting lineups in the opening game, the Kings are slightly better!
Then the starting lineups of the two teams continued to play for seven or eight minutes before being replaced by the substitute lineup.

In the past seven or eight minutes, both teams have shown their talents.

At first, everyone in the Warriors thought that the Kings were weak. After all, the core of the Kings team was still a rookie in the second grade, so they played very casually!
However, after being shocked by the momentum of the Kings in the first two rounds, Coach Mark directly called a timeout and scolded Curry and the others.

That's right, Mark Jackson is a domineering head coach in the Warriors at this time, and he doesn't allow anyone to disobey his decision!
After the timeout, Curry's attitude changed drastically. Although they couldn't stop the Kings and Jiang Yan's offense on the defensive end, the Kings couldn't stop them from scoring on the offensive end!
Curry and Thompson's three-pointers, Bogut's singles, David Lee's mid-range shots and inside singles, and Iguodala's air cuts all made Jiang Yan and the others unable to defend!

But the Kings are not too far behind!

First of all, Jiang Yan's three-pointer and breakthrough in addition to passing the ball surprised Larry Brown, and even shocked Jackson!
Shock the Warriors!

Probably because Jiang Yan, as the assist leader last season, did not have such a strong offensive ability!

Of course, this is compared to last season. In terms of real strength, Jiang Yan's offensive ability is now only in the middle of the entire league, and has just broken through the lower reaches.

In other words, Jiang Yan's offense is no longer at the non-NBA level, but at the level between the third-rate and second-rate. At least the offensive ability, Jiang Yan is now enough to survive in the NBA!

After Jiang Yan broke through David Lee several times in a row, he either passed the ball or made a layup, which directly made the Warriors' defense at a loss!

But after the defensive formation was adjusted, Jiang Yan suddenly shot a three-pointer when he was specifically defending Jiang Yan's breakthrough!
In the first few minutes of this preseason game, Jiang Yan unreservedly displayed all the things he had strengthened during the offseason.

"Oh my God! Jiang Yan's attack is like a god! The Warriors can't stop it at all!" Yang Yi exclaimed.

Because Jiang Yan's change is really amazing!

Completely changed everyone's image of him as 'Jiang Bugong'!

And those students who just went back to school after the National Day holiday saw the graphic live broadcast, and they also called 'NB'!
Those Yanhei people on the Chinese Internet have never stopped, even though Jiang Yan won the best rookie and assists last season!
But those Yanhei still insisted on a statement!
That is, Jiang Yan can't go too far in the NBA!

They believe that the current NBA advocates offense, and Jiang Yan, a traditional point guard who has no offense, will definitely fall behind, that is, be eliminated by the NBA!

However, after five months of disappearing, Jiang Yan suddenly showed a completely different offensive ability in this game, which blinded their eyes!
Adric and Aminu were also very shocked, because in their previous training games in the team, Jiang Yan did not show a much stronger offensive ability!
At the same time, a hidden worry arose in their hearts!
After all, a Jiang Yan who can attack, will the distribution of the ball be so reasonable by then?
With 4 minutes and 37 seconds left in the first quarter, Larry Brown called a timeout, and then Jiang Yan and other starters were all off the field.

Standing among many players, Larry Brown didn't talk about offensive tactics, but set up defensive tactics with a tactical board!
And Brown also changed the team's lineup.

After the timeout, the Kings played Jimmer Fredette, Thornton, Salmons, Jason Thompson, and Alex Lane.

As for the Warriors, they are also on the bench.

Then the substitute lineups of the two teams began to fight on the field.

Sitting in the audience, Jiang Yan was also watching seriously, and Jiang Yan noticed something.

That is, Salmons' three-point ability has become stronger.

It seems that Salmons didn't go out to play around during the offseason!

Instead, I don't know where to conduct my own training!

With the strengthening of Salmons' three-pointer and the opponent's defensive ability, Jiang Yan thought of this and thought of a possibility!
Later, when the Kings were attacking, they successfully defended against the Warriors' backup small forward Barnes. Now when Jiang Yan turned her head to look at Larry Brown, she found that the opponent was nodding slightly!
Seeing this, Jiang Yan couldn't help but sigh slightly, her number one younger brother Garcia seems to be going to be a substitute!

Larry Brown is obviously a coach who values ​​defense. This can be seen from the fact that the opponent has been emphasizing the team's defense during pre-season training with the Kings!
As a shooting guard, Garcia's most powerful is the three-pointer, but Garcia is obviously not a qualified starter in the eyes of Larry & Brown!
Because Garcia didn't defend!
Jiang Yan's defensive ability is weak, and Larry Brown can accept it, because Jiang Yan is the absolute core of this team!
But Garcia, as a role player, has no defense, so he is not a qualified role player.

It is not without reason that the league now advocates 3D players!
Salmons obviously plays such a role in the substitute lineup!
Although most of the ball is in the hands of Jason Thompson, Thompson is an inside player who can pass the ball!
Although Jason can play singles inside, most of the ball will still be passed to others!
But there was one person who was surprising.

Alex Lane, the No. [-] pick this year, was extremely disappointing.

On the court, his play was completely terrible!

The team's backcourt rebounds were robbed by a Jermaine O'Neal who had undergone minimally invasive knee surgery!
Doesn't have the ability to protect the basket like a big center!

So soft!
This is the big center?
Jiang Yan blinked her eyes!
As for Larry Brown, his face is sullen!

That's what Milicic looked like back then, and confrontation is simply not enough!
An NBA player can't even fight without a brain, so what kind of ball can he play!

It seems that I have to go back and discuss Ryan's matter with Patrik!
Larry secretly decided in his heart.

But for a while, Larry was still sitting on the sidelines watching the game on the court.

Although Ryan can't match Jr. O'Neal, but the Kings' bench lineup has not fallen behind, and he still has a faint advantage!

After all, as the former starting power forward, Jason still has strength!
In the second quarter of the game, Larry started to disrupt the lineup again. Anyway, in this game, he wanted to test the offensive and defensive effects of each combination of the Kings!
The Warriors did not mess with the lineup, and they still played the same game as the regular season. Mark Jackson hoped that the Warriors would help players regain their sense of offense through the preseason!

In the subsequent games, the Kings gradually fell into a disadvantage. After all, Larry Brown had turned into old Nelson at this time, a master of experimentation!
How can the strength of the Kings stand up to such an experiment?
Two hours later, the game ended. Jiang Yan's playing time in this game was intermittent, and there was no coherent game.

Except for the first few minutes, because the Kings used a regular starting lineup, the rest are lineups mixed with various players!
In this game, McCallum and Patterson, who guarded the drinking fountains, both played!
Anyway, this game gave everyone the feeling that it was anticlimactic!
However, Jiang Yan's attack at the beginning still caused a lot of hype!
Even though this was a preseason game that didn't attract much attention, the change in Jiang Yan's style came to the desks of various head coaches in the form of materials in the first place!
And Jiang Yan's change also made the coaches even more troublesome!
Jiang Yan, who had no offensive ability in the past, was already helpless. Now, Jiang Yan, who has a good offensive ability, how should he defend?
This is a question discussed by the coaching staff of each team!

After the game, the team rushed back to Sacramento that night!

There was a gap of two days before the next preseason game.

Duffy actually came to Sacramento and is waiting for him in the apartment.

Duffy didn't know about Jiang Yan and Alice's cohabitation, after all, there are many people.

On weekdays, if Jiang Yan went out for training or away games, Alice would go back to her original apartment and stay there.

Because if there are those servants of the DuPont family serving there, her lies will not be exposed!

Because she lied to Jiang Yan that she had fallen out with her father because of this child.

After Jiang Yan heard this, she slowly rolled with Alice!
Jiang Yan returned to the apartment and was relieved to see that Duffy did not meet Alice.

If Duffy found out, one day he slipped his mouth, it would be a disaster for him!

After all, it is the golden house Cangjiao!
Although it is not made of gold, it is still delicate!

"Yan, I'm looking for you today because of sneakers. You have designed several sneakers, but the final choice is up to you!"

"Do you have any pictures?" Jiang Yan became interested after hearing this.

After all, this shoe will represent me in the future!
During the last contract signing press conference, Adidas' North American general manager told him that when the sneaker design comes out, he will have a look at it first!
Then I used the computer to dial the video from Adidas!
After all, the design plan cannot be disclosed, and it is before mass production.

After connecting to the video, Jiang Yan exchanged pleasantries with Adidas General Manager Ahus who was opposite, and then got into the topic!

Ahus then showed Jiang Yan the three schemes designed by the design department!

The first type, the insole is patterned with dragons, and the body of the shoe is themed in red, mixed with yellow!

Red represents China, and yellow represents the yellow-skinned Jiang Yan!
The name of the sneakers is Longyan Generation.

The second type, the pattern is a white light, with blue as the theme, mixed with black during the period, the design theme is Jiang Yan's calm performance and low profile on the field!

The name is Yaoguang Generation.

The third type, the pattern of the shoes is a crown, mainly purple gold, supplemented by dark gold, implying the status of King Jiang Yan!
The name is Crown Generation!
Jiang Yan listened to Ahus' introduction, looked at the three patterns, and pondered for a moment.

In the end, Jiang Yan chose the second one, not because he didn't want the first one, but because the red color of the first one was not his favorite color!
The third type is too high-profile and doesn't fit his temperament!
After Jiang Yan confirmed the decision, Ahus and Jiang Yan chatted a few more words, mentioned that the press conference of the new shoes would be before the start of the regular season, and then hung up the phone!
