The older superstars of the NBA

Oracle Arena.

Game [-] of the preseason.

The game has just started.

The stands were full, and the fans were excited, shouting and screaming to cheer for the Warriors players on the field. The atmosphere in the arena was cheerful and lively.

After all, it’s only a preseason game, and it’s the nba’s purpose to let the players find their status, especially the rookies on the team, or some role players. The team is gradually recovering.

The long offseason is a test for most players. Superstars such as LeBron James will maintain a certain amount of training and be more strict with their bodies. There will be no summer Just over a dozen catties of fat.

But more nba players can't stand the temptation. Not only will they give up training completely, but they will also spend all kinds of time and money. If things go on like this, their state will naturally not be as good as before after a few months.

In this game, the Warriors played against the Clippers at home.

Although the two teams had a lot of grievances in the playoffs last season, because the main players of both sides basically did not play much, so after the game started, the sense of urgency on the court was still insufficient, and the players did not maintain too much defensive strength. .

On the Warriors' bench, Zhao Feiyang was sitting and chatting with teammate Andre Iguodala.

He did not start this game. This arrangement was made because head coach Steve Kerr considered that he had just recovered from his injury, and he also considered his status in the team.

After all, the preseason is for the substitutes and role players. The main players can go up and play, but there is no need to consume too much.

So, the bored Zhao Feiyang started chatting.

Coincidentally, Andre Iguodala, a veteran, was sitting next to him.Zhao Feiyang knew that the other party was a player of the Philadelphia 76ers and a teammate of Allen Iverson. Out of admiration for Allen Iverson, Zhao Feiyang took the initiative to talk to the other party.

Although Andre Iguodala has been with the Warriors for a season, he has not achieved too much under the hands of Mark Jackson, so his position in the team is naturally in a very strange state.

If it weren't for the status of a veteran, I am afraid that some players on the team would not pay the bill.

Depressed, he seemed to resonate with Zhao Feiyang, who had just arrived in an unfamiliar environment. In addition, Zhao Feiyang was very interested in what happened to the Philadelphia 76ers in the finals in those years. The two gradually chatted about this topic and became more and more familiar with each other. .

"Oh! Is Allen like that? I thought he was very lonely, but I didn't expect him to have that side..."

"Haha...he is a guy with a strong desire to survive...Frankly speaking, I watched your performance in the finals, and I don't know why, I always feel that your dribbling has a kind of Familiarity, that feeling is very similar to him..."

For Andre Iguodala's words, Zhao Feiyang just chuckled, of course he couldn't tell the real reason.

At this point, the game entered the second half of the second quarter.

Head coach Steve Kerr made a substitution. He replaced a substitute on the field and sent rookie player Dennis Grant to the field.

Dennis Grant was sitting not far from Zhao Feiyang. After seeing the coach's signal, this guy took off his coat in a hurry.

Not knowing whether it was intentional or unintentional, he threw the coat on Zhao Feiyang with a casual throw.

Occasionally, it's okay to miss. Of course, Zhao Feiyang would not think that the other party did it on purpose, but when he took off his clothes, what he saw was not Dennis Grant's apology, but a disapproving cold face.

Dennis Grant looked very disdainful, instead of apologizing, he just pouted at Zhao Feiyang.

A small move immediately made Zhao Feiyang frown.

He is not a stingy person, but the other party's behavior is obviously abnormal, and it already has a hint of provocation.

Zhao Feiyang didn't say anything, and threw Dennis Grant's clothes behind him.

call out.

Dennis Grant enters.

At this time, Zhao Feiyang was in no mood to continue chatting. For this newcomer who was likely to compete with him for the ball, Zhao Feiyang really wanted to see how strong this guy was.

On the field.

Warriors serve.

Dennis Grant dribbles the ball across half court as the point guard.

As soon as they passed, the Clippers players immediately put on a marking posture.The opponent's rookie is also defending Dennis Grant.

Newcomer to newcomer, Dennis Grant did not hesitate at all. The two met each other. Dennis Grant suddenly dribbled the ball from the left side and drove into the basket. His pace was fast and his offense was very smooth. When he was about to rush to the basket A layup was thrown.

The opposing center stared blankly.

The rebound thrown by Dennis Grant also hit the backboard and fell into the basket.

Swish.

The ball is in.

He hit a breakthrough as soon as he came on the court. Judging from the performance of this ball, he was indeed better than the average rookie.

Soon the Clippers counterattacked.

The opponent's defender dribbled the ball and made a fast break. After halftime, he looked for an opportunity at the top of the arc. Dennis Grant went up to mark, and the opponent used the cover to avoid his interference, and then suddenly went to the basket.

When the Warriors player on the inside was about to make up the defense, the opponent made an alley-oop pass.

boom.

The Clippers successfully scored with an inside dunk.

Then it was the Warriors' turn to fight back.

This time Dennis Grant was blocked as soon as he got the ball. He could have chosen to pass the ball to his teammate, but instead of doing so, he kept the ball in his hands.

"Another singles little prince..."

Zhao Feiyang couldn't help shaking his head.

If the players on a team only care about themselves and don't care about what their teammates do or whether the team wins or not, then the team will never have a bright future.

Basketball is a five-man sport.

What Zhao Feiyang didn't notice was that while he was shaking his head, the head coach Steve Kerr was obviously dissatisfied.

He was originally sitting on the team bench, but when he saw this scene, he stood up and was even ready to shout to Dennis Grant on the field, but he didn't know why, but he didn't shout in the end.

Dennis Grant still forced the ball across the half.

When he was standing at the top of the arc, he raised the basketball and shot a three-pointer directly.

The scene exclaimed.

Many fans looked at his confident shooting and thought that Dennis Grant would also be an excellent shooter like Stephen Curry.

However, the three-pointer thrown by Dennis Grant did not score, but hit the basket and bounced directly out.

However, what shocked all the fans was that the next second, Dennis Grant, who was extremely energetic, rushed all the way in from the outside.

Just at this time, the inside players of the Clippers did not notice him, so he jumped high and took the rebound in the opponent's hands.

After snatching the ball, Dennis Grant made a direct throw to avoid long nights and dreams.

Swish.

The ball is in.

This young rookie also let Zhao Feiyang see his true level.

"Good physical fitness, good explosive power... Breakthrough is okay..."

"It's not a big problem for this rookie to rank in the top eight in the draft under normal circumstances....The Warriors really got a baby this time...."
