After the Warriors players finished warming up, the intra-team competition entered the preparation stage.
Nelson and assistant coach Skye Smart each selected seven players.
Smart led the team in selecting Sun Yi and Curry who played in the summer league, as well as newly joined Laga Bell, while veteran players selected Maggette, Anthony Randolph and others.
After watching Smart's selection, Old Nelson frowned and said, "Ski, do you really not want to win? Are you still deliberately giving in to me?"
"Don, I'm not letting you off the hook. We'll find out after the game." Smart replied.
Nelson didn't care and picked his own players.
After the two teams were formed, Old Neal and Smart each arranged a few simple tactics for their teams, leaving the game to the players themselves.
After the tactics were laid out, the training match officially began.
Red team: Watson, Ellis, Reggie Williams, Anthony Tolliver, Biedrins.
Blue team: Curry, Laga Bell, Maggette, Sun Yi, Anthony Randolph.
In the jump ball session, Biedrins defeated Randolph and took the lead in touching the basketball and turning it back, giving the red team the opportunity to make the first attack.
Watson advanced with the ball and came outside the three-point line. Seeing that Ellis did not reach for the ball, he knew that his opportunity had come.
He saw that the rookie guarding him was Curry, and he suddenly became excited.
Watson quickly made a change of direction in front of his body, and then rushed to the right into the three-point line.
He is very confident that even if he can't get past Curry, he can still crush him with his physical advantage.
Curry, who was waiting closely, reacted immediately, using small steps to move laterally to block, and then moved sideways against Watson to interfere.
Seeing that Watson couldn't squeeze away the baby face, he felt extremely depressed and rushed toward the basket.
At the same time, Sun Yi confidently and boldly retreated to the basket to help defend.
He knows these guys are going to be siled and won't pass the ball to their teammates for the sake of performance.
Just as Sun Yi thought, after Watson rushed to the basket, he didn't have a good chance and didn't choose to pass the ball. He directly carried Curry up.
Sun Yi, who was following behind, jumped into the air and stretched his arms to shoot the basketball.
Bully my brother, ask me if you have!
Snap!
Sun Yi slapped the rising basketball out of the bottom line.
After landing, Sun Yi high-fived the primary school students to celebrate the successful defense.
The game continues with the red team taking a baseline kick.
Williams received the pass and shot a three-pointer over the defender, which ended in a blackout.
Sun Yi protected the rebound, quickly observed the position of his teammates, and directly passed the ball to the frontcourt with a quarterback-style long throw from the backcourt.
With the bonus effect of the badge [Arc Top Dealer], the passing accuracy is still good.
Curry, who was on a fast break, received the pass, rushed to the basket and scored an easy layup.
After scoring the goal, Curry pointed at Sun Yi to express his gratitude.
The primary school student knew very well that as long as Sun Yi grabbed the rebound, he would look for himself and pass the ball accurately.
Therefore, he will do his best to rush forward, get rid of the defender, and create a safe environment for receiving the ball.
This may be the tacit understanding they formed during their long-term relationship.
Nelson on the sidelines saw this fast break and clapped his hands.
This is why he asked Sun Yi to serve as the fourth position.
This pass is so critical, allowing the Warriors to speed up and end the offense quickly.
On the court, Watson once again dribbled the ball to the top of the key.
This time he didn't play alone and passed the ball to Ellis.
After Xiao Gongju caught the ball, he immediately passed the ball to his teammates without sticking to it.
As the boss of the team, he wants his teammates to play first. If the game really can't be started, he will take over the game.
In the low post on the right, Tolliver received the pass and beat Sun Yi with a back-up.
He is about the same size as Sun Yi, but has the advantage of weight. He feels that he can overpower the rookie and enter the penalty area.
Maybe Tolliver realized how wrong he was after being beaten from behind, and found that he couldn't squeeze Sun Yi at all.
Just kidding, with 80 points of strength attribute and the bonus effect of the badge [Restricted Area Deterrence], Sun Yi's confrontation ability is not weak.
Seeing that he couldn't beat Sun Yi, Tolliver turned around awkwardly and made a throw.
Sun Yi did not take off, but raised his arms to interfere.
"Dang!"
The basketball bounced out of the frame and missed!
Sun Yi turned back to the basket and grabbed another rebound. Seeing that there was no chance, he dribbled towards the frontcourt.
When he came outside the three-point line, he made a tactical gesture.
Curry understood the idea and quickly ran forward to receive the pass hand-in-hand.
After Sun Yi passed the ball, he took advantage of the situation and made a ball-free screen for the primary school student.
After Curry bypassed the screen, he shot directly.
Tolliver, who was changing defense, didn't understand Curry's playing characteristics at all. He didn't change defense in time and could only watch Curry shoot.
"Uh-huh!"
The basketball hits the net hollowly and hits the target steadily!
After a summer of special training, Curry's three-pointers and shooting speed have become more and more abnormal.
Old Nelson nodded with satisfaction, this was the result he wanted.
In the next few rounds, the red team still insisted on singles, but failed to score a goal.
The blue team is fully blossoming with the combination of Curry and Sun Yi.
Seeing that the score was about to reach double digits, Ellis stepped forward and broke through with the ball, breaking the scoring drought.
After scoring, he looked at his teammates and shook his head slightly.
The opportunity given to you is useless!
In the following games, Ellis took on the offensive responsibility, frequently rushing to the basket to cause damage, and the game was quite tiring.
The blue team played a smooth offense and scored very easily, which is typical team basketball.
On the sidelines, Nelson shook his head when he saw the situation on the court.
He discovered that unknowingly, the red team had returned to the Warriors' one-man-nothing style of play last season.
There was no request for a timeout and adjustments, and the players were asked to solve the problem themselves.
As the game progressed, Xiao Gongju's physical strength declined and his scoring became unstable. He could no longer help the team to hold on to the score. He could only pass the ball out and hope that his teammates would work harder.
But the other players on the red team couldn't be reused, and no one stepped up to serve as a scoring point.
The blue team took advantage of the red team's declining shooting percentage and quickly launched a wave of offense to quickly widen the point difference.
Originally, there was no suspense in the game and it was enough to just play casually, but something unexpected happened.
During a fast break, Sun Yi took the lead and rushed towards the basket.
Behind him, Reggie Williams, who had no outstanding performance in the whole game, was a little unwilling to give up. He tried his best to catch up quickly, trying to prevent this attack.
Sun Yi caught a glimpse of someone chasing behind him from the corner of his eye. He paid close attention, rushed to the basket, and faked a layup.
Reggie Williams didn't think much and immediately pounced.
However, he didn't expect that Sun Yi didn't take off. Because he rushed too hard, he immediately lost his balance after contacting his body, and his head fell to the floor.
Sun Yi noticed Williams' extremely dangerous action from the corner of his eye, immediately threw the ball away, and tightly hugged Williams' falling body with both hands.
Williams originally thought he was going to die and had closed his eyes, but after a while he did not feel any pain. Then he opened his eyes and found that his head was only a few centimeters above the ground.
"Brother, stop screaming, I'll put you down right now."
After Sun Yi finished speaking, he slowly placed Williams in his arms on the floor.
Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!
Members of the Warriors coaching staff and teammates gave Sun Yi warm applause.
Sun Yi's kind act this time won the favor of the entire Warriors team.
"Reggie, are you okay? Do you want me to call the team doctor for you?" Sun Yi looked at Williams lying on the ground and asked with concern.
Williams regained his composure and almost burst into tears when he saw Sun Yi's handsome face.
"Sun, thank you, you are such a good person." Williams thanked him sincerely.
Sun Yi got a good guy card inexplicably.
"It's okay, let's continue the game!"
After Sun Yi finished speaking, he picked up the basketball on the ground and passed it to the Warriors trainer who was the referee.
Nelson quickly stepped forward to check the situation and was relieved to see that nothing happened. At the same time, he praised Sun Yi's noble character, and then took Williams off the court to rest and let Moreau take his place.
After this interlude, the game continued.
Neither side made any big moves and the fight was very harmonious.
As time passed quickly, the game quickly came to an end.
In the end, the blue team defeated the red team 108-91.
Sun Yi not only led the team to victory and proved his strength, but also gained the favor of his teammates.
It can be said that he has now completely established a foothold in the Warriors and established his position in the team.
