New Century Basketball Frenzy

Chapter 316 Against the Golden State Warriors
The game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Golden State Warriors is like starting the Christmas game early for basketball fans.Although the final result of this game will not affect the ranking in the Western Conference, after all, the two teams are already 2 games behind, and the No.3 San Antonio Spurs have 3.5 wins in one game less.

But there are still many things to watch. Zhang Yi and Curry played against each other for the first time after the preseason. Many people also regard this game as a handover ceremony between the old and new cores.

What everyone was looking forward to last year might still be the duel between Curry and Thomas, but this year, more attention has been placed on Zhang Yi.

Newcomers are always eye-catching, especially Zhang Yi's strength is also on the table.No matter how the game is played, as long as Curry and him play normally, they can lead the team to create a classic.

Not to mention that the Lakers can win 15 consecutive victories if they win this game.Such a good start has not happened for many years, not even the Warriors who have won 5 championships.

This is not only the right time, place and people, but also a display of the team's strength.Now when people talk about the team's strength ranking, the Lakers are no longer in the T1 tier, and they are faintly strong to the only tier.

Teams like the Warriors and Spurs are still strong, but their teams have various problems.Needless to say, the New York Knicks are in a predicament full of injuries.Even Thomas, who played all 82 games last year, has frequent rotations for some reason.

This is why the Lakers can outshine the others.In order to maintain his physical fitness, Curry is now selectively appearing on the stage. Although his strength is still extraordinary, everyone agrees that his dominance is not as good as before.

Zhang Yi is called the successor of Curry, not because of the actual performance and ability of these two players, but because of the status of the successor.

And it's impossible for them to play the same game. The position on the field is put aside first, and the more important thing is the difference in offensive methods.Even if Zhang Yi is strong in three-pointers, it is impossible for him to average 8 three-pointers in the finals like Curry!
It is even more impossible to average 5 fouls per game outside the three-point line.Curry's high score is also because his shooting percentage is amazing.It is absolutely unprecedented to shoot three-pointers as free throws.

So many people say that Curry definitely inherited the ability of his father Stephen Curry, but Curry's ability to finish at the basket is still not perfect. On the one hand, Curry inherited his father's three-point skills Bao has developed explosive physical fitness.

In the first year after entering the league, Curry participated in the dunk contest instead of the three-point contest. This is something his father has never experienced.

The title of King of Miankou is not casually talked about. In fact, there is no problem with Curry's height.But he just couldn't jump up and there was nothing he could do.

Little Curry is a little taller than Curry, and his athletic ability is more than a star and a half better.His breakthrough ability is simply explosive, not to mention that as long as he flies, others can't really guard against him.

Physical confrontation in the air is his strong point. Whether the opponent is a tall center or a strong forward, Curry is not afraid at all. The dunk is also a highlight of every game for the Warriors.

Capable of slam dunks, breakthroughs, three-point shooting and more defensive skills, it can be said that Curry is the perfect embodiment of modern basketball. Because Jordan's era is too old, Curry is also regarded by many people as the god of basketball.

Although they are both guards, Curry is a point guard after all. Even with the strength of a combo guard, he is more focused on passing the ball and connecting teammates.

This is where Curry's strength lies.Everyone who played with him has become much stronger. The current Golden State Warriors are actually not as strong as they were then. After all, the team's second scorer has quit.

Before preparing to accept the result of Curry's retirement, the Warriors have been calculating matters of reconstruction.They don't want to see that after winning the championship this year and enjoying the dynasty treatment, they immediately slipped into the lottery zone because of the retirement of the main force.

It is also relatively risky to exchange immediate combat power for potential rookies. After all, no one can guarantee whether rookies can fulfill their talents.

The reason why the Golden State Warriors dared to do this is actually because Curry gave them a guarantee. Of course, it is because no matter who is next to No.1 in the league, they can play well, but everyone doubts that after losing the team’s thigh , These people can still show considerable performance.

Compared with Curry who is concerned about whether he can get the championship ring in the last season, in fact, for him, winning is not interesting. Now only real strong opponent games can arouse his interest.

And against the Spurs and Knicks before, Curry didn't feel any excitement. After all, they have played against each other countless times, and they have no freshness against this old opponent.

So the most important opponent now may be the Los Angeles Lakers.After all, in the preseason games, Curry had a lot of fun.

Zhang Yi is also the only opponent he is currently paying attention to. Whether he can successfully defend his title this season and finally retire with honor actually depends on the running-in of the Lakers this year.

The game hadn't started yet, but the spectators entered the field early, and unlike the Los Angeles Derby, this game not only received a lot of attention, but everyone was looking forward to a fierce battle.

The only threats the Lakers can encounter now are those teams, and the corresponding Golden State Warriors are also the same. Only teams of the same level can play wonderful games.

Zhang Yi and the others have abused food too much. The existence of the Warriors is to let them know that there are not only weak chickens in the NBA.So before the start of this game, Curry said that they will definitely show the strongest performance.

Although it was harsh words before the game, Curry is not other big-mouthed stars. Since he said it, he will finish it. He is the famous face-slapping king in the NBA.

And in order to stimulate everyone, before this game, Zhang Yi also said in cooperation, no one can stop the Lakers from winning streak!Even if everything comes back, they will win this game.

Because this event received so much attention, various famous celebrities came to the scene, and it was even close to catch up with last year's Thanksgiving event.

It's just that this time, not only the Lakers celebrities are much older, but also several celebrities from the Golden State Warriors are all present.Although these people are very old, this cannot prevent the audience from returning to the golden age of the NBA in the 21st century!
In addition to the commentary team, broadcast media from Europe, Asia and other regions gathered on the scene. This battle reminds people of the finals.In fact, the finals may not be so exciting. After all, the strength of the Eastern Conference is still weak, and the game between the Lakers and the Warriors is unparalleled.
